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.
