Maybe Football Isn’t Everything After All Out of the complaint made recently by Coach Bob Zuppke year, there rises the faint suspicion that perhaps those college boys are just getting a different slant on things collegiate. i sf te hich Black Coach Zuppke regrets that his husky students are not as Saplatned lia lone toraeten acl : husky as they once were, and they are not nearly so willing to go out and get the daylights pasted out of them just for the glory of the thing. The famous football mentor blames the influence of sorority divans, purring motor cars, and doting parents. Perhaps he’s right, but, perhaps there is another explana- tion or two. It is just barely possible that a lot of boys start- ing to college don’t care for the grind which puts them into football suits six days a week for three months, which drives them onto the practice field for tedious practice day in and day out, just for a brief moment of battered glory before a packed stadium on Saturday. Maybe some of them have figured out that football, except to the exceedingly small number of brighter stars, has no future except in fireside tales and after-dinner*reminiscences when college days are over. It is barely possible, too, that the young athlete has noticed that, once he has his sheepskin and gets a job, he can’t jump into a football suit after the day’s work and get a bit of exercise. Some of the boys may have decided that college athletics might just as easily have a future as college classroom courses. Tennis is hardly a sissy game and a young man doesn't have he can get exercise and pleasure out of the skill he has acquired in school for a couple decades later. Golf teams appear to be more popular in college than they formerly were. . Golf is a business man’s game. It’s a distinct advantage to be able to shoot a decent score. As a “contact” pastime golf is almost notorious. You meet very few business men in football suits on pleas- ant sunny afternoons. There’s no 19th hole on, the gridiron, either. Mr. Zuppke may be right. The modern college boys may be losing part of their enthusiasm for football, some of them, at least. There probably always will be enough to do and die for the Illini, producing a Red Grange every generation or two to build up the gate. And the others, it may be, have changed their notions about college football and the value thereof. More Than Just Six Destroyers at Stake Aetion of the United States in proposing to lease six de- stroyers to Brazil seems in a fair way of undoing much of the confidence built up between South American nations and this country during the past few years, particularly at the Inter- American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace, attended by President Roosevelt. Argentina is frankly disturbed over the matter and doesn’t hesitate tp say so, pointing out quite lucidly the reasons for her displeasure. Argentine government officials, informed by the United States that Brazil needs the destroyers to defend her- self against nations after her raw materials, notes that only Japan or Germany might be threatening Brazil, and inquires just how much protection six destroyers would be against either nation. resents the secrecy which covered the negotiations. Surprise is expressed that Roosevelt, whose frankness was admired at the conference, would have made a move of this kind without communicating the fact to other South American powers. Not missing a point, Argentina recalls that the United States for some time has argued against heavy spending on armaments as the worst possible threat to peace. Says Argentina: wouldn’t peace be even further threatened if nations could rent warships cheaply, thus removing the eco- nomic brake which has somewhat checked the armament race? What, asks Argentina, would happen if European countries offer to lend war cruisers to South American countries? It might be wise for the president and Secretary Hull to consider all the angles. Naval men are wondering if there is any coincidence in the fact that the projected lease involves six vessels—the exact number being built for the Argentine re- public in British shipyards. Confidence between the Americas is one of the greatest factors in the future of world peace, régardless of what happens |. across the Atlantic or across the Pacific. It would seem unwise to disrupt the friendly relations so carefully built up, with what appears to be a touch of ill-advised intrigue. Friendship—With a Joker Student exchanges between the United States and foreign countries have become popular as a means to promote friend- ship. In at least one city, the exchange is a mass affair, involv- ing half a hundred boys and girls of high school age. a One of the American girls in this city group told, in a letter home, of a day’s sightseeing around Berlin. At Tempelhof air- port, some of the visiting youngsters were taken up for an air- plane ride. But, she reported their cameras were taken away from them before they were allowed in the plane. ___ This is strangely parallel to our own hysteria over picture- taking Japanese in the United States. Our worry is that some- one will get a snapshot of some of our fortifications. Appar- ently the motive is the same in Germany. Apparently the Nazi thought is that “all foreigners are spies” even if they’re children. ‘The English woman who complained she lost 20 pounds at the race track betting booth could clean up if she could put her experience into the form | gomez x - is Save - ela ge ieee 3 tion of the National Ind: Re- at Illinois university, that college boys are getting softer every nes Kellriep aiden for Rnarenes amendment and finally voted against Along with other nations of South America, Argentina an Behind Scenes Washington Black, Not Roosevelt, Fathered “New New Deal”... Backed Wage-Hour Laws ... Struck at Price-Fixing, Monopolies. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Aug. 19—Senator Hugo Black of Alamaba is a loyal, unques- tioning follower of the administration and owes his supreme court appoint- ment largely to his subservience to Roosevelt. So goes the patter. The facts are something else again. And the big outstanding fact of which perhaps Roosevelt himself isn’t aware is that in four years the presi- dent has swung completely around from primary tenets of his original political-economic philosophy to the Policies advocated in 1933 by Black. Vital policies which Roosevelt refused to accept when Black urged them then are now among the brightest Jewels in the New Deal window. ee 8 Urged Wage-Hour Bill Few are aware that Black first voted to knock out the NRA or code it carried the Borah anti-monopoly the finished measure as it came from In that speech made June 13, 1933, you will find much of what is some- times called now, “The New New Deal.” Black urged a flat wage-hour bill in which wage and hour standards would be declared by congress, and enforced by the government and in which there would be no trade prac- tice provisions or sops to industry. He predicted collapse of NRA. To- day Roosevelt stands behind Black’s bill which strictly concerns itself with wages and hours, Black argued against an act which would permit price-fixing and re- straint of production. Roosevelt ap- proved the measure. Today Roosevelt has declared against price-fixing, has taken several steps toward lowering prices and is searching for a method of obtaining the highest possible leyel of produc- tion with the lowest feasible level of prices. eee Demanded Profits Curb , Black demanded government regu- lstion of profits rather than a code system which would enable manu- facturers to establish their own profit margin, holding that reduction of competition through NIRA would largely end the competitive system and perhaps destroy it. Roosevelt finally has come to the view that ex- cessive profits must be cut down both by taxation and suppression of mon- opolies and other price-fixing com- binations. Black insisted that consumers must be protected from exploitation by profiteers. Roosevelt got around to that in his Madison Square Garden speech last fall and is definitely sold on the idea. Anticipated Program In general, Black declared years in ‘If You Want to Know Who We Are, We Are Gentlemen of Japan’ —wW. S. Gilbert's ‘Mikado.’ Coneriat ust. ee A REVEALING REACTION The clear reluctance of the senate in confirming the nomination to the supreme court of Senator Hugo Black of Alabama, its failure to act immed- {ately and the deep resentment shown by the senatorial comments are ex- tremely revealing as to the character and caliber of the man. No better way of estimating him exists, be- cause these men who have served with him for more than a decade know him as no others do—or can. advance many of the general prin- ciples of the Hopkins-Eccles-Hender- son-Coyle political-economic theory among whose points are selective ex- cess profit taxation, payment of social security costs by income taxes, “draw- ing off surplus income and giving it back to the poor,” raising mass pur- chasing power, anti-trust prosecu- tions. The theory also proposes ac- tion against monopoly and collusive bidding and volume production at low prices. It is this general theory which Roosevelt privately espouses today. “I am not personally vitally inter- ested in a bill which does not narrow the gap between the profits that go into the pockets of labor and the Profits that go into the pockets of capital,” said Black. “I had an amendment which I really intended to offer to this bill at the outset, but I found that I had no chance of se- curing {ts a and therefore did not offer it. It would have added to the part of the bill giving the right to fix maximum hours of labor and the minimum wages the words ‘max- imum profits’.” NRA is long since dead. Black had the gift of prophecy. But the rec- ord of that speech leaves him firm- ly believing that either competition fixing reg- ulate prices and profits. It leaves him in the same canoe with Roosevelt— end Black got there first.

Considering the strength of the senate traditions and the extent to which senatorial courtesy is carried, the reaction among his colleagues was such that @ more sensitive man would have been deeply pained. But Senator Black is not a sensitive man. On the contrary, there are few more insensitive and those who know him will hold that so long as he gets the job the manifestations of Cistaste and dislike will have no ef- fect upon him at all. The fact that among the higher-grade senators he 4s neither highly esteemed nor great- ly respected is immaterial to Senator Black. Nor is it a surprise to him, The resentment to his appointment in the senate is not political—it is personal. So far as his economic and political views are concerned, he is, of course, strongly New Deal and very eee TP OLIIICS Copyright 1937, by The Baltimore Sun far to the left. But not more so than Senator Norris of Nebraska, Senator Wagner of New York, or Senator La- Follette of Wisconsin. Yet, any of them would have been confirmed, as would have the late Senator Robin- son, immediately and without refer- ence to the committee. And there would have been none of the invidious criticism and comment that has at- tended the Black announcement. It is true that Senator Black's pub- lic record is that of an extreme and violent partisan; that his affiliation with the CIO group of labor leaders has been unconcealed; that his tem- perament is that of the prosecutor; that his attacks upon those who do not agree with him politically have been recklessly demagogic, and that he first came to the senate as the po- litical beneficiary of the Ku Klux Klan. But, easy as it is to question his fitness for the supreme bench on any of these counts, the feeling against him goes beyond them all. It is not because he is a “liberal” or a “radical” and it is not confined to the conservatives. It is far more a mat- ter of personality and personal quali- ties than it is of political or eco- nomic views.

It sounds well to speak of a ‘ARCHES “well balanced” diet but it has no more definite meaning than the quaint advice that the patient should have nourisHing but easily digestible food. As nearly as I can make out, “wel! balanced” formerly implied that the day's rations should provide two to three ounces of protein ding 240 to 306 calories, two to three ounces of Lad and twelve to fourteen ounces of carbo. hydrate (starches or sugars) yielding 1440 to 1680 calories. Later “well balanced” came to mean that the diet should include reasonable proportions of foods from animal sources—meat, milk, eggs, fowl, fish, cheese—and foods from vegetable sources—frults, gr eens, cereals, nuts, vegetables.

In saying this I am quite cognizant of the com- mon notions about fermentation, gas formation and the like. ‘This prejudice against “starchy’ foods for grown-up dyspeptics is akin to the prejudice against sugar, candy or sweets for growing-up children, There is good physiology and good sense in the rule that refined, concen- trated sugar is not so healthful for youngsters as is sugar in its natural form—in milk, in fruits, The pure sugar tends to cloy the appetite, satisfies without supplying what the body needs, namely the mineral elements and the vitamins that milk and fruits contain.

The more recklessly. radical of the president’s advisers—those who want to “make America over,” compel the supreme court to do the White House will, form a farmer-labor alliance and federally run both industry and agri- culture from Wi —will be de- lighted with the appointment. How- ever, there is evidence of grief among the more discriminating of Mr. Roosevelt's well wishers, both in and out of the senate, and it is a measure of the president himself that, after waiting five years to get his appoint- ment to the supreme court, his choice should have been Senator Black, Be- cause it was his choice. Senator Black was not forced on him by the senate as was Senator Robinson, and it 4s not true that he would have been unable to get anyone else confirmed. A liberal of the class of Justices Brandeis, Cardozo or Stone—and there ere such available—would have been confirmed, and everyone knows it Not many people would put Sen- ator Black in their class. His retire- ment from the senate will not lower the level of the body he leaves nor will it raise that of the one of which he {is 60 soon to become a member.

Oh, yes, of course. In that case you would be interested.

From what you have told me yourself, those long dead, dry as dust, princesses all had more than one Pharaoh to their credit. You should have Jearned a few things from them.” He let the amber beads dribble slowly through his fingers like bubbles of imprisoned sunshine. “I did learn many, many things in Egypt, dear enchantress,” he murmured, “and when I look at these beautiful beads, what thoughts come to my mind—what thoughts!” The Duchess pulled her neck- lace away and daintily smothered @ yawn. e “T'll say you're tiresome today, Professor. You've been here two hours and not a single smile in all that time. Most certainly I shall get acquainted with the handsome young man across the hall, Maybe he can save me from absolutely passing out with ennui.” . C28 ew Bos himself would have been surprised if he had suspected the Duchess was taking any spe- sjal interest in bio, He had|going back Copyright, passed her once in the hallway and thought what a queer-looking person she was, wondering idly if she was young or old, with her strange mop of hair. Probably some actress or medium. Her large eyes, with their heavy make-up, that. seemed to dwarf her small face, looked hypnotic enough for anything. He decided she was a girl he didn’t care to know very well. Now he was sitting opposite Kathleen at the little table in her studio, asking for more bean soup. “You were right about the soup, it’s the best ever, isn’t it, Schmatz?” turning to the terrier, who was watching them with bright-eyed interest. “You know I’m glad you've taken that studio upstairs,” Kath- leen was saying. “All the other people who have studios here go home at night and it leaves the building pretty empty.” “Then you stay here all the time?” he asked with some aston- ishment. “Yes, It’s the only place I’ve got,” she answered, “You see the folks back home—my aunt and uncle, I live with them—didn’t want me to come to the city in the first place, They wanted me to teach school and—well, be nice to. someone I didn’t like very well, That’s why I don’t want to go back.” “yy SHOULD say not,” agreed Bob with rather more em- phasis than was necessary. “I’m on my own, too, instead of going into my Dad’s business.

But Pat would never approve of that.” “Pat?” She laughed. “Yes, Pat’s just like a fussy mother hen where I’m concerned, if you can imagine a hen smoking a pipe and talking Irish brogue. He doesn’t care for the Duchess because she makes him move her furniture arcurid.” “Don’t blame him.” Bob stretched his arms. “I’m still stiff from pushing my stuff into place.” “The paper had her picture one Sunday and a big write-up about her paintings and her jewels, One emerald pendant in particular was said to be famous all over the world. Imagine living so near like that!” “Well, she probably doesn't wear them down here se the place won't be raided,” he answered. “I must remember to mention the Duchess and her emerald to my family so they'll know that I’m moving in the right circles, They are convinced I'm hovel and maybe selling pencils on the street for a crust, while my genius sprouts.” see Bt when he finally said good night to Kathleen and was opening his own door, the Duchess herself came out of her studio, accompanied by Professor Bracey- She glided right over to Bob with both hands outstretched. “Simply delighted to welcome another fellow artist!” she gushed. Bob took her bejeweled fingers as cordially as possible, but looked somewhat puzzled. “Please, not an artist—just a word grind- ér. It's much more low-brow, you know. Schmatz!” The ter- rier was growling fiercely at the tall professor. The hair stood up in a ridge on the dog’s neck and his sharp fangs showed. ‘Can't think what’s got into him.” _ He picked the little animal up in his arms. “The pooch’s still strange here,” he explained. “We haven’t met anyone yet but Miss O'Shan. We—” “Ah, then you do notice the ladies!” exclaimed the Duchess. “And will you come to see me real soon? By the way, you must shake hands with Mr. McTavish, Professor Bracey. You'll prob- ably see a lot of each other.” After they had gone on and he was safely behind his door, Bob set Schmatz down and remarked, “I wanted to show my teeth at that guy with the sideburns, too, old man. Believe I’ve seen him some place.” *
