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.

Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. 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-
