- ' *8 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C. Paratroopers Maneuver Parachutes to Landing i Highly trained and skilled are the marine paratroopers. Their exit from fast-moving ships must follow lightning precision to avoid “scattering” a unit. While descending, the men not only “steer” their chutes but also control to a degree the speed of their fall. By this manipulation a unit can land within a small area, and can often prevent landing in water or in dangerous spots.

ORLEMANSKI-LANGE TALKS WITH STALIN Two of the most important diplo matic reports of the war have been received at the White' House recent ly, not from any trained diplomats, but from two private American cit izens—Father Orlemanski of Spring- field, Mass., and Prof. Oscar Lange, Polish-American leader and a teach er at the University of Chicago, both of whom had interviews with Stalin. Although less widely publicized than Father Orlemanski’s interview, Professor Lange had a long separate talk with Marshal Stalin and, per haps because he was not circum scribed by church superiors, his re port, on the whole, has been the more penetrating and helpful. New conclusion drawn from the Lange-Orlem anski reports is that Polish-Russian relations, one of the most troublesome problems of the war, are on the eve of a wholesome rapprochement, probably beginning about now. It was shortly after the receipt of the Lange-Orlemanski reports that President Roosevelt began a series of three conferences with Polish Premier Mikolajczyk in Washington, the results of whioh exceeded ex pectations. If Polish-Russian relations can be settled amicably, one of the worst obstacles to postwar peace will be removed. Po land, for a hundred years par tially governed by Russia, baa a deep-rooted suspicion of the Soviet, while the Russians, hav ing borne the main brunt of the European war on land, natural ly feel they are entitled to areas forcibly wrested away from them after the last war. STALIN DISCUSSES POLISH BOUNDARIES In their separate interviews with Stalin, the two Polish-Americans, Father Orlemanski and Professor Lange, heard the reassuring words from the strong man of Russia that his government wants a “strong, in dependent Poland after the war—a Poland which will be strong both internally and externally, but which will be favorably disposed to the Soviet Union.” Stalin went even further and said that he was ready to help create a new Polish army. “I am ready to build an army for Poland, equip it fully and arm it with the best guns the Soviet Union can make,” he told Professor Lange. “I will do this for at least 1,000,000 men.” Stalin also discussed the question of Poland’s future boundaries and revealed that they had already been discussed in some detail at Teheran. In doing so, he let drop a very im portant point — that, at Teheran, Roosevelt and he had agreed to the breakup of Germany after the war. “Poland should claim East Prus sia,” Stalin said, “and should also claim Upper Silesia and all the Ger man territory, up to the Oder river, including Stettin.” NOTE—This would give Po land practically all of Pom erania, a great stronghold of Prussian militarism. Shortly after Teheran, this columnist re ported that the Big Three had proposed giving Pomerania, East Prussia and Silesia to Po land, in order to separate the Prussian junkers from the rest of Germany and stamp out Ger man militarism for keeps. Stalin told his visitors that he was not sure whether Poland should get Breslau (in Silesia^ or not. When these plans for Poland had come up at Teheran, Stalin dis closed, President Roosevelt had been in complete agreement, but Prime Minister ChurchiU had hesi tated. “He asked me: ‘Who is to guar antee the security of this new Polish state?’ I answered him simply: ‘The armed might of the Soviet Union.’ ” POLES IN RUSSIA Professor Lange had been permit ted to visit with the Polish army inside Russia which is fighting side by side with the Red army. He also had talked with various Polish leaders inside Russia, and he told Stalin that he was deeply moved by the splendid treatment given the Po lish army by the Red army. Several Days after Professor Lange had arranged with Wanda Wasilievska, head of the pro- Soviet Union of Polish Patriots, to better the living conditions of Polish refugees in Russia, Sta lin informed Mme. Wasilievska that better war conditions now permitted better living condi tions and that Polish refugees should share in the improve ment. SCORES POLISH INTELLIGENCE SERVICE Stalin was quite cynical about the Polish intelligence service inside Poland and the reports of alleged conditions it had made to Premier Mikolacjzyk. All it did, he said, was deceive the Polish government- in-exile in London. Foreign Commissar Molotoff, who was present during the interview, in terrupted at this point to say that, in a recent speech, Premier Miko lajczyk had claimed he had the sup port of 90 per cent of the Polish people. Babe Dtfrikson npHE mighty Babe has returned. No, we are not referring to Babe Ruth. We are turning to Babe Didrikson Zaharias, without any question the most ,, i ; remarkable worn- “■ an athlete of all time. The Babe, while practicinc for the next la dies’ tennis championship, re turned to the headlines of golf in Chicago re cently, where she continued to hit the ball incred ible distances, from 260 to 290 yards. It has been exactly 12 years since Babe startled big crowds in the 1932 Olympic games, held in Los An geles. The Babe was th">n entered in the hurdles, the high jump and the javelin throw. She wanted to enter three other events but she was balked by Olympic rules that limit the number of competitions for any single person. Just after the 1932 Olympics were over, I played golf with the Babe, Her long game was magnif icent and her short game a night mare. At that time she could neither chip nor putt with a ‘20 handicap player but she was driving over 250 yards and playing 170 yard holes with a mashie or a six iron. The Babe has come a long way in her golf since 1932, although her long game is still the feature of her play where she can keep pace with most of the longer hitters among the pros. Her wrestler husband, George Zaharias, displacement 270 pounds, is lucky to get within 40 yards of any tee shot his wife may happen to hit. The Babe weighed 125 pounds in 1932 and she is now up around 150, but there isn’t half an ounce of fat on her frame. All Around Phenomenon Here are a few things Babe Did rikson could do on her way to the spotlight: Throw a baseball 315 feet, on a par with any good big league out fielder. Ron, jump and chock the javelin in record time and measurements. Carry a football through a good line and throw a forward pass ac curately 50 yards. Swim and dive within a fraction of championship standards. Hit a tennis ball harder than Helen Wills or Alice Marble. And play pretty well. f Drive a golf hall from 260 to 290 yards and hit a 3 iron well over 200 yards. Ask Bobby Jones or Billy Bnrke. A good rifle shot and a good horsewoman. All in all, we once figured out 10 sports in which she excelled, prov ing 12 of these in motion pictures that were all carefully and ac curately made. As a kid around 20 she could out box and outpunch any lightweight in her vicinity. She almost wrecked two well known professional light weights in less than three rounds. We keep forgetting. She was also picked as'the best woman basket ball player in the history of the southwest. The total list seems to include track and field, football, baseball, boxing, golf, tennis, basketball, swimming, diving and a few others. Should Have Concentrated There is no telling what heights Bab* Didrikson might have reached if she had only concentrated on some single sport, especially golf or tennis. She has already turned in a 66 at golf, but her short game has never had quite the steadiness that her long game carried, with power on a par with the best of the pros and far beyond the average good amateur. Babe Didrikson’s power and con trol comes from an amazing amount of coordination, remark able timing and two strong, sinewy hands and wrists that are beyond the average strong male. You might ask a famous golf pro about a friendly scuffie, where the Babe nailed him with a short right hook to the body and he had to cancel his golf engagements for the next week. In any event it is good to have the Babe, back with us again in competition. She is the most re markable competitive proposition her sex has ever known if you care to take in 10 or a dozen fields of play. The main pity is that she scattered her talents into too many directions, in place of concentrating on two or three games. Horses vs. Humans How would a member of thfe so- called human race compare with s horse, age for age? Who would fin ish on top? We are now referring to competitors among both breeds, when it comes to speed and stamina, The answer is, there would be nc competition. The horse would win, backing in. A race, horse at seven years old approximates a man al 45, and one from 15 to 17 years old is about in the same age class as 3 man of 80. S■EWING CIRCLE THE SUPREME COURT PLAY BY PLAY There was quite a sensation in Washington the other day. Caused by a report the United States Su preme court had agreed on some thing. It was erroneous. / Those Supreme court decisions are getting harder to keep track of than the baseball scores. There are more disputes among the justices over what the laws mean than there are among police court lawyers. » The police court lawyers have this on their side: they sometimes stick to an interpretation for weeks at 8 stretch. • The very words, “The Supreme court has reached a decision” today brings the inquiry, “What was the score?” • And also, “What inning?” • The other day a decision that had stood for 75 years was thrown out the window by a 5 to 4 vote, with two justices out to lunch. Three Supreme dourt justices agreed with Chief Justice Stone that the law should be sustained. Four agreed with Justice Hugo Black that it should be brushed off without regard for precedent or past decisions by the high court. And the Supreme court is the court to which cases are sent be cause those in the lower courts can’t agree! » The public looks on in complete dizziness. The lower courts look on with chuckles. And the lawyers of the country look on with a feeling that perhaps they should cease to consult Blackstone and leave every thing to a pinball machine. • There used to be a feeling that a point of law could be settled by car rying it to the highest court in the land. • In fact, the feeling was pretty well based. • You thought the Supreme court justices had read the same law books that the rest of us had. And that they had extra qualifications for catching the drift of them. » You never had the impression that the justices were playing in different leagues, using opposing technics and employing conflicting systems. • Lawyers took cases to the Su preme court to get them settled! • Those were the days!! • • • Dictators’ Jitters With grandiose gesture Hitler takes the lead. Safer in front than in the rear, in deed; Behind him millions, shattered suid afraid— Before him Gotterdammerung is played. His paperhanging soul reverts to paste— His magic carpet long since chewed to waste. In dubious refuge of Italian lakes, A would-be Caesar shrivels up and quakes— Shrieks orders to a free and mock ing Rome. Fear in his heart; no country for a home, II Duce bangs his long degraded head Against the marble statues of the dead. —MARGARET MANN. • • * Can You Remember— Away back when you had to take what you could get for an old fliv ver that wasn’t much good any more? When Adolf Hitler could make a microphone speech and scare any body? Back when a Supreme court deci sion was supposed to settle things? • * * Off Season The summer’s not the season when A man is really best off; Where can he put his pencils, pen. His notes and watch, with vest off? • • • There are some indications in the news from Normandy that the atti tude of some French people is, “We are about to be liberated and gosh how we hate it!” • * • We understand that Mussolini whiles away the time sitting in front of a picture of Der Fuehrer and singing, “You made me what 1 am today: I hope you’re satisfied.” • • * ODT complains that Americans are not heeding its plea to cut out conventions for the duration and help relieve railroad congestion. We understand that all over the country various organizations went into ses sion to take up the ODT complaint. They will probably vote to decide the matter at a convention. * * * A butcher has been fined $50 for threatening to use a knife on an OPA investigator.
