I H. V. Kaltenborn, Adventurous News
| J Commentator, Awarded Honorary Degrees
III. V. Kaltenborn (rlfht) Interviews Spanish soldiers with General
franco's army before Madrid.
' H. V. Kaltenborn, the distinguished
foreign correspondent and
radio news commentator whose
keen reporting of European affairs
won him a national reputation almost
overnight, was awarded two
honorary degrees at commencement
ceremonies this spring.
He received the degree of Doctor
of More Humane Letters from
Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y., on
June 12, and a week later the University
of Wisconsin, at Madison,
Wis., conferred on him the degree
of Doctor of Laws.
, Adventures All Over the World
To look at Mr. Kaltenborn, xlo
one would think that this scholarly
gentleman was an adventurer. Yet
when he dashed out on a Spanish
battlefield and made tho first onthe-scene
broadcast of an actual
battle, bis action was typical of his
sntire life.
He was In a tight spot, with shells
bursting nearby and bullets whirling
past him, but he was as calm
and collected as he is at home.
And his resourcefulness and courage
carried him through, Just as
they had many times before.
For twenty years a foreign cor?
?
respondent and newspaper editor,
Mr. Kaltenborn has been all over
the world in aearch of news. He
has interviewed Mussolini, Hitler
and Chiang Kai-shek. While in
China he waa captured by bandits
but was released when he delighted
his captors by juggling a piece of
straw on bis nose.
Ex-WaAkiagtea Correspondent
Equally at home in American
politics, Kaltenborn was a Washington
correspondent and covered the
political convention of both parties
in 1932 and 1980. His radio career
began 18 years ago. Recently he
was chosen as the outstanding news
commentator of the year, by the
Radio Daily poll of newspaper edfc
tors and columnists, the Motion
Picture Daily, the Scrippe-Howard
newspapers, the National Federst
tio'n of Press Women and the Women's
National Radio Committee.
i As war clouds darken over Europe,
millions of radio listeners
continue to depend on Mr. Kaltenborn's
authoritative observations os
the situation. His program, "KaV
tenbom Edits the News," is heard
every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:38
[ p. m. Eastern Standard Time over
the Columbia network.

Proud Moment
Once when the late Governor John]
Johnson, of Minnesota had finished
making a stirring and Important ach
dress before a distinguished audience,
a friend remarked, "Governor, this
must be the proudest day of your life,
speaking before such a great assemblage?Supreme
Court Judges, Sena*
tors and Congressmen."
"No, it Isn't," replied Johnson, after
a brief reflection.
"Well, what day was?" the friend
Inquired.
"The proudest day of my life," replied
Governor Johnson, "was when'
I was a boy of twelve, and, on receiving
my first pay of $3 for a week's
work, I went home to my mother and
said, "Here, mother, you needn't take
in washing any more."
The department of Justice announced
Tuesday, that complaints alleging
that CIO members have been beaten
in the CIO drive to organize Georgia
textile mills were now "being studied
for possible criminal action." The
| Justice department said that "comj
plaints recently received from Georj
gla allege CIO workers were beaten
by persons hostile to that organization."
Comedy Of Errors
Won By Chester
(By Tho Skipper)
In one of tho weirdest exhibitions
of baseball we have witnessed In many
moons, tho Camden Chtofs handed tho
Chester Cardinals a 6 to 0 victory at
the inuuclpal ball park last Thursday.
We say the Chiefs handed the Cards
tho game. And that they did, through
the medium of the dumbest exhibition
of base-running wo have ever soon In
baseball, mixed with nice bobbles, a
majority of which were Inexcusable.
Moore put on a Hue pitching performance.
For eight innings he pitched
one-hit baseball. Two scores came
in for tho visitors in the seventh on
two walks to start the inning got on
tho nerves of tho supporting warriors
and three errors permitted the passboys
to ramble home. In tho ninth
some more stupid defense work appeared
to l^he the heart out of Moore
and the Cards began' to larrop the apple.
Four hits and more bobbles put
over four runs. "
We have often wished we could
have gone to little old New York and
sat In the front seat at "Helts&poppln,"
but now we have seen something better,
for the Chiefs put on Just a comedy
when playing hide and seek on the
base lines. Whether It was the runners,
or those doing the coaching,
we do not know, but it was sure a
laughable spectacle.
In all but two innings, Camden had
two runners on the sacks, and In
three of these innings there were
three men on. Did we score? Nelnl
Neln! Which In Hitler language
means, nay, nay. The runners Just did
the Lambeth walk and the Cardinals
did the rest. * Tliink of It fans, thirteen
men left to die on the sacks.
Worse than the front line trenches
in far-away France back some twenty:one
years or so
Well, It'b all history now, and perhaps
the boys were Just getting all
the bad out of their systems We may
rag 'em, pan 'em and kid 'em, but
please get this, we're for them all the
time
The presence of Rock Stroud and
Patrone, two South Carolina university
players in the Chester lineup was
-the occasion for the filing of a protest
by the Camden management before
the game was underway. At the last
meeting of the league managers a
week ago, the question of these two
players was raised. By no manner
of reasoning could Chester show them
to be residents of the Chester terri
lory, us both boys llvo In Columbia,
so tho managers ruled they are noteligible.
Stroud is the third sucker,
who Jack Corbett referred to, as onoj
of the sweetest performing collegiate
intlelders he had over watched.
President ltuy Blandlug, of the Palmetto
league, will have to call u meeting
of the team managers to puss'
upon the Camden protest. If tho pro- j
test is sustained, the game will be
forfeited to Camden.
The score: I

The game was featured by a home
run over the right field fence by
Mathis, Sumter first baseman. The
