THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Washington, D. C. NEWSMEN AND FDR Most important college of amateur physicians anywhere in the world, approximately 200 strong, now meets Tuesdays and Fridays at the White House. . . . These are news men assigned to cover the Presi- «reiit. They assemble, make careful scrutiny, write lengthy analyses of the President’s complexion, ner vousness, every facial expression; try to interpret these in relation to his health. . . . Actually the Presi- Ident looks thinner, not too well tanned, but calm and fit, though he shows obvious sign of wearying at the scores of questions thrown at him during press tussles. . . . FDR still knows how to turn charm on and off, calls newsmen by their first names, teases them about "dope stories.” . . . Since his return from the Alaska trip, Roosevelt is seeing more people than in the last six months, is growing more aware of domestic issues. • • • DUMBARTON OAKS Secretary Hull’s message to the opening Dumbarton Oaks peace par ley had whole paragraphs parallel ing Woodrow Wilson’s statement of January 16, 1920, on the eve of the first League of Nations council meeting. ... “It is our task here,” Hull said, “to help lay the founda tions upon which, after victory, peace, freedom and a growing pros perity may be built for generations to come.” . . . Twenty-four years ago, Wilson said: “It will bring the League of Nations into being as a living force devoted to the task of assisting the peoples of all countries in their desire for peace, pros- nerity and happiness.” INDIAN TYPHOON When Amb. William Phillips’ fa mous letter advising Roosevelt that India was a U. S. problem leaked into print, the British government sent instructions to all British con suls in this country to inspire let ters to editors, plus editorials in the local press. One man in New York alone wrote 76 letters to different newspapers. . . . Later, British con suls sent copies of editorials, etc., to the British Embassy, with accom panying notes, showing what a good job they had done. ... In the Em bassy, Josslt-yn Hennessy, British public relations man for India, left off the accompanying notes, sent the editorials to Sir Olaf Caroe in New Delhi, so Sir Olaf could see what a good job Hennessy had been doing. Sir Olaf then sent them to London. ... Sir Olaf also cabled London that he had been able to keep the Phil lips letter out of India so far, but “under existing conditions” it was sure to be smuggled in, in which case it would be published by the Indian press and there was nothing he could do to stop it. . . . By “existing conditions,” Caroe meant anti-British subversion on the part of Indian officials who smuggle news into India despite censorship. Once inside India, the British can’t pre vent publication in Indian news papers. • • • WASHINGTON PERSONALITIES Breath-taking Bob Gros, California lecturer, has the faculty of coming to the nation’s capital every year and interviewing more big-wigs per hour than anyone else in the U.S.A. He has just finished one of his breathless trips and sizes up per formers on the Washington merry- go-round as follows: Wendell Willkie — “The thinking- est, guttiest guy on the merry-go- round; politically unastute.” British Ambassador Lord Halifax —“Worst dressed, but one of the most charming. His sleeves were patched with red thread, he had on almost threadbare gabardine pants.” Donald Nelson—“Determined that small industry shall have a chance to reconvert now, before the ar mistice.” Economic Stabilizer Fred Vinson —“The best balanced.” Secretary of the Navy Forrestal— “Quick, likable, expounds this phi losophy: ‘Administration consists 95 per cent of smoothing out human frictions. The secret of American success is driving, restless energy that makes you have ulcers.’ ” Secretary of War Stimson—“The most arbitrary.” Small Business Administrator Maury Maverick—“The most two- fisted and dynamic.” Jim Farley—“The most realistic political analyst, the most bluntly arid disarmingly frank.” In general, Gros found Washing-, ton taking the war in its stride; officialdom much more settled down than last year; less excitement, less hysteria, more efficiency. • • * MERRY-GO-ROUND C Senator Hiram Johnson, who rare- ly appears on the senate floor any 'more, still occasionally attends night baseball games at Griffith sta dium. . . . Other ball fans are Sena tors Chandler of Kentucky, Walsh of New Jersey, Stewart of Tennes see, and Mead of New York, all frequent box-holders at the ball park. C. John L. Lewis faces the greatest rebellion against him in years when the United Mine Workers hold theij , annual convention in CincinnatL Jumbo—a U. S. Signal Corps Man Ballots Overseas A member of the American signal construction outfit is shown re pairing a line from the back of an elephant. These slow-moving, patient animals are nsed to very good advantage in the swamplands at Assam, India, by native and Allied troops. The signal corps, under unusual condi tions, have managed to install and keep open communication lines. Overseas ballots for servicemen get top priority in the Pacific area where Pvt. Ted Robbins, Blooms- burg. Pa., Seventh AAF voting rep resentative, is visiting shops, hang ars, offices and flight line of squad rons from Hawaii to Saipan. Photo was made during loss of Hengyang airfield, China, to the ad vancing Japs. Billowing clouds of smoke are spreading over the air field. After Gen. C. L. Chennault’s headquarters had issued orders to abandon the U. S. army 14th air base, the Japs moved in but found little of value for further operations. Unrationed Meat Civilians, residents of Ecouche, France, return to their homes and find a butcher shop open for busi ness. They had fled to an aban doned chalk quarry when American artillery opened fire on their town to drive out the Nazis. Nazi Prisoners in France Their Best Friends German prisoners of war, 10,000 strong, are herded into their new enclosure as they prepare for a visit as guests of the Allies. They were taken in Allied pincers drive in France. The total number of prisoners taken, it is believed, will exceed by far any previously captured by American and British units. A couple of guys who can’t resist a couple of puppies are Lieut. Gen. Omar N. Bradley, commander of U. S. ground forces in northern France, and Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, commander of all Al lied ground forces in this area. They Booted the Japs Off Guam Once more in undisputed possession of Guam, first American pos session snatched by the Japs after Pearl Harbor, Adm. Chester Nimitz and other high naval and marine corps officers look over the island. Left to right: Maj. Gen. R. S. Geiger, USMC; Rear Adm. F. Sherman; Admiral Nimitz and Vice Adm. Raymond Spruauce. Captured Thousand Lieut. Clarence E. Coggins of Poteau, Okla., was responsible for the capture of 1,000 Germans. While a prisoner he convinced the Nazis that they were trapped—and they surrendered. A FTER the war there is certain 1 A to be a shift in more than a few cities so far aa baseball and football are concerned along major lines. There will be a new tidal wave of sport, a greater boom than sport knew after the first World war in 1919 and 1920. It is almost certain that Los An geles, on its way to 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 population, will be one of the new main centers In both baseball and Football. With transporta- tion so far ad vanced and new im provements coming Los Angeles will be only a few hours away from New Fork, much less De troit and Chicago. Los Angeles for some time has been one of the big sporting centers of the country. Los Angeles has known football crowds, plus track and field crowds, above 100,000 at the Olympic. How many other cities can match this? As a major league baseball city I doubt that any two other big league towns could outdraw this fast grow ing metropolis on the West coast. Los Angeles isn’t the only present minor league city now out to break into the big league show. Baltimore is another. So is Buffalo. Both fine prospects. Baltimore has already proved to be one of the best football spots in the country where crowds from 40,- 000 to 50,000 are willing to pay out money to see pro exhibition games, and where Navy and Notre Dame can pass 60,000. St. Louis is almost sure to lose one of its major league teams. Even pennant winners can’t stir up the in habitants, although both her teams have been setting the pace most of the present season. San Francisco is another big-time spot in sport, one of the best. New Orleans can draw football crowds above 70,000. Rush to Pro Football The rush to professional football after the war ends will be on the terrific side. In addition to the pres ent pro football league, I know of at least three other leagues that are under way, or will be started soon. These will range coast-to-coast and from Texas to the Canadian border. There is hardly room enough for more than two major football leagues, so the unsuccessful team will take a neat beating on the financial side. Selections of cities that have spec tator accommodations will play a big part in naming the sorvivors. Just where they will find enough talent to handle the proposed new leagtaes is another guess. But there are more than a few willing to risk their cash along these lines. In addition to the eities that make up the present major football league, those under consideration include Los Angeles, Baltimore, Buffalo, Dallas, San Francisco, Atlanta and New Orleans, with a second team in New York. One point to think about is that not all members of the present big league make any financial killing. New York and Washington head the pack. The Chicago Bears have done well. Brooklyn had lost good money. Cleveland was no mint—and the same goes for Detroit. Green Bay Successful Green Bay, with a series of great teams, has maeje a fine showing for its size. But I wouldn’t know how much money Green Bay has made. It will be interesting to watch this rush to pro football when the fight ings ends. It will at least be a big break for the players who can sit back and take the top offer. But they will first have to be sure they will collect. There should be room enough for two major leagues in football, just as there is in baseball, with the same world series arrangement for the wind-up. But the battle to establish the second league may easily be a wild and woolly affair, where the fur will be knee deep before the finish. I don’t believe anyone can doubt there will be a large and active post war boom in every form of sport. There are too many reasons for this to happen, with some 10,000,000 veterans looking for excitement. Whether or not this boom can match the quality of the first post- World-war boom that gave us Ruth, Dempsey, Bobby Jones, Tilden, Man o’ War and others in those high al titudes is something only the next few years can show. • • • Sammy Baugh and the ‘jP The majority of pro football c laches will tell you that Washing ton’s Redskins are the team to beat this season — the toughest assign ment that each must face.

But kidneys sometimes lag in their work do not act as Nature intended—fail to ro* move imparities that, if retained, may poison the system and npset the wholo body machinery. Symptoms may be nagging backache, persistent headache, attacks of dizziness, getting up nights, swelling, puffineso under the eyes—a feeling of nervous- anxiety and loss of pep and strength. Other signs of kidney or bladder dis order are sometimes burning, scanty or too frequent urination. There should be no doubt that prompt treatment is wiser than neglect. Uso- Doan’a Pille.
