War or No War,
U. S. Is Having
Battle Royal
FDR Has Diverted At-
tention From New Deal
issues,. Says Writer
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
Scripps-Howard News Alliance Writer
WASHINGTON, May 5.—If it
is true, as Senator Taft charged
recently, that President Roosevelt
is ballyhooing the European war
scare to divert attention from his
domestic difficulties, he certainly
is succeeding.
Republicans are pitching in to
make the Roosevelt foreign policy
a major political controversy,
with the charge that Roosevelt’s
un-neutral antagonism to the
German-Italian-Japanese triangle
is dangerous and apt to lead us
into war. Hoover tried out that
theme in his Chicago speech sev-
eral weeks ago and since then it
has been reiterated- with increas-
ing boldness by Republicans. It
has become practically the party
line, in spite of the fact that Hoo-
ver’s secretary of state, Henry
Stimson, supports Roosevelt rath-
er than his former chief.
Which Step?
1 The issue focuses down, at the
moment, to the central question—
should the Government be neutral
in attitude and deed toward the
European balance-of-power strug-
gle between the German group
and the British group?
Roosevelt makes no.pretense of
neutrality. From the Chicago
quarantine speech in the fall of
1937 down to his return from
Hyde Park this week, Roosevelt
has spoken in behalf of “measures
short of war" to curb aggressors.
He and his official family time
and again point the accusing fin-
ger at Germany, Italy and Japan.
— Roosevelt’s recentnote to Hitler.
and Mussolini, asking them to re-
frain from aggression, was loaded
— to the—hilt with the plain infer-
ence that they, not the other
powers, were the dangerous na-
tions.

cerned with keeping us neutral.
I For Roosevelt, its purpose is two-
fold.
First it protects, us from being
caught accidentally and uninten-
tionally in war.
Second, it permits us to supply
materials to the British side rath-
sr than to the German side.
(That was the effect of the cash-
and-carry provision which expired
Monday, but which probably will
be re-enacted).
Republicans are challenging
that position with increasing
sharpness. Alf Landon, in a speech
this week, supports Roosevelt's
efforts to bring peace in Europe
and would even have him attempt
* general peace conference. But
Landon asks emphatically that we
adopt the role of neutral peace-
maker. He is suspicious of giving
"economic assistance” to one side.
If our side begins to lose, Landon
says, we may not be able to stay
out any more than in 1917.
“Too One-Sided"
The Republican National Com-
mittee released a speech by Rep.
Reed of New York,' who said
Roosevelt could have been a more
“ effective peacemaker if he had not
taken sides. Roosevelt’s interfer-
ence in European and Oriental af-
fairs, Reed said, is “a dangerous
departure from sound executive
conduct." Senator Vandenburg,
who recently worked himself back
■ into the picture as a presidential
possibility, is sounding sonorous
warnings of the dangers lurking
n the Roosevelt policy. The Re-
publican National Committee’s
adviser on foreign policy, William
— R. Castle, former under secretary,
of state, is sharp in his criticism.
Youth should watch joys and shoot them as they fly—Dryden.
22. Youth holds no society with grief—Euripides.
23. Youth comes but once in a lifetime—Longfellow.
24. How different from the present man was, the youth of earlier
days—Ovid.
25. Blind zeal can only do harm—Lichtwer.

Gigantic Star Aura
Discovered By Shapley
New Texas Telescope Will Explore
Far Reaches of Milky Way Galaxy
By WATSON DAVIS
Director, Science Service
FT. DAVIS, Texas, May 5.—A gigantic aura of escaping, super-
speedy stars has been discovered enveloping our own universe of
stars, the Milky way, through the researches of Dr. Harlow Shapley,
director of the Harvard Observatory, and his colleagues. . t
This increases the dimensions of our nebula or galaxy to the vast
extent of an approximate sphere *— -----*—‘—•---—---------
nearly half a quintillion miles in
diameter. That is a chunk of
agrees with the actual astronomi-
cal. finding that this envelope or
space so large that it takes light shell forming this greater galaxy
some ‘80,000 years to cross it. should be a sphere in shape and
Dr. Shapley announced the dis- not a disc like the main mass Of
covery in the first McDonald Ob-
servatory dedication scientific ses-
sion this morning.
Some Stars “Escaping"
The great aggregation of stars
in which our. sun is located is seen
as the Milky Way in the night
sky. Great telescopes, such as
the' new one going into service on
the Texas mountain top here,
show thousands upon thousands
more stars than the eye can see.
Most of the stars are located in
a thin elongated disc-6000 light
years thick and some 10 times as
long. Ninety-nine out of a hun-
dred stars of our galaxy are in
this most -densely star-populated
part of the galaxy.
What is newly discovered is that
stars unquestionably belonging to
the Milky Way are found far be-
yond its old limits. These are
faint and of high velocity, speed-
ing some 120 miles per second. Dr.
Shapley believes that they are the
lighter stars that have in effect
been thrown out from the -main
body by gravitational effects.

Distances Staggering
When inquiring telescopes and
photographic plates are pointed at
other nebulae or galaxies, such as
that'in Andromeda, similar star-
halo envelopes or shells are found.
In some cases the shells of galax-
ies overlap with those of other,
nearby galaxies. The limits of
the shell are very indefinite, just
as it is difficult to say • just
where the earth's atmosphere def-
initely ends. -

ed by use of,famous Cepheid va-
riable stars, whose waxing and
waning of light measure the uni-

about 300,000—light years away.
Dr. Shapley explained that they
are part of our super-galaxy,
which roughly includes the volume
of space within a million light
years of us.
Councilman McCrary
Is Star of Program
Councilman J. N. McCrary was
well established as a comedian to-
day as far as East Side Lions
Club members were concerned.
At the weekly luncheon of the
club in Polytechnic Methodist
Church yesterday, the city official
kept members in laughter at his
"ditties" dedicated to brother
councilmen and other city officials
present. Assisting him with a
parody on "John Brown's Body”
were Police Chief Karl Howard
and Dr: Burke Brewster, director
of health in the public schools.
Speaking briefly, Mayor Pro-
tern Marvin D. Evans praised the
East, Side Club as being “primar-
ily responsible for building up the
Polytechnic community."
Guests included members of
City Council, D. O. .Jones, city en-
gineer and Dudley Lewis, city
manager.
T. C. Jones was toastmaster.
