This ‘Haymaker’ Explosive Was No Dud I
No dud was this lethal missile which Ken Overlin, middleweight boxer,
explodes against the chin of Harry Balsamo, his opponent, in a 10-round
charity non-title bout in New York city. This fight action was caught by
the 1/100,00()th-of-a-second photographic speed of the camera. The bout
ended in the ninth round with a knockout victory by Overlin.
Women Pray for Future of France
In France’s most tragic period since its defeat by the Prussians in
1871, women gather in tearful prayer before the Memorial to the World
War Dead at Bordeaux. With complete military collapse, the French
cabinet, headed by Marshal Henri Petain, formed a government along
Fascist principles like their conquerors, the totalitarian states, eliminat-
ing President Lebrun.

THE CAMPAIGN:
Chicagoings-on
This was the Democratic conven-
tion’s lead-off message: “I (Senator
Barkley) and other close friends of
the President, have long known that
he has no wish to be a candidate
again. We know, too, that in no
way whatsoever has he exerted any
influence in the selection of the del-
egates, or upon the opinions of del-
egates in this convention.
“Tonight, at the specific request
and authorization of the President,
I am making this simple fact
clear to this convention. The Presi-
dent has never had, and has not to-
day, any desire or purpose to con-
tinue in the office of President, to
be a candidate for that office, or to
be nominated by the convention for
that office. He wishes in all ear-
nestness and sincerity, to make it
clear that all of the delegates to this
convention are free to vote for any
candidate. That is the message I
deliver to you tonight from the Pres-
ident of the United States, by author-
ity of his word.”
Some 22,500 men and women,
packed into the Chicago stadium,
heard the presidential message. It
was a turning point, probably, in
American history. For the conven-
tion the next day nominated Presi-
dent Roosevelt for a third term. No
man had ever before received this
honor. A day later, Henry Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, was nomi-
nated vice president virtually at the
request of the President. The con-
vention indicated the issues would
be foreign affairs and the utilities,
principally.
Wendell Willkie in the meantime
warned the Democrats. He said he
didn’t want to hear any more about
the Insull scandal, and indicated
that he was tired of wisecracks
about public utilities. It was true
that some Democrats had been whis-
pering at a great rate along those
lines. Willkie was a bad man to
try and smear, for he is peppy, pep-
pery, and given to rough, biting in-
vective. But Willkie did agree with
the Democrat Bankhead, in con-
demning the speculative orgies of
the 1920s. Willkie said, too, that he
liked to protect the investments of
the people against the assaults of
their governments. This all emanat-
ed from Willkie’s vacation haunt at
Colorado Springs, as did a state-
ment that he welcomed the third
term issue presented by Roosevelt.
What price “party"? Wendell
N A M E S
. . . in the news
King Zog of Albania, his tiny
crown prince Skander, and his half-
American Queen Geraldine, plus
Zog’s sisters three, were planning to
come to the United States, that new
“St Helena.”
Allyn Jennings, general superin-
tendent of New York city's parks
since 1936, became the new general
director of New York’s famous
Bronx zoo.
Pope Pius instructed his official
nuncio to France, Valerio Valeri,
to give every aid and support to
Marshal Henri Petain’s new fascist
government. Generals Petain and
Weygand, two of the triumvirate,
are devoutly clerical. Dark-faced,
white-tied Laval, the third member,
is not.
Oswald Lewis, Tory member of
parliament, suggested that England
sell America at least one of the West
Indian islands for use as an air and
naval base. This, said Mr. Lewis,
would cancel that “eternal’* war
debt question.
Willkie, Republican candidate for
President, was a registered Demo-
crat until two years ago. Henry A.
Wallace, Democratic candidate for
vice president, was a registered Re-
publican until four years ago.
That Willkie would prefer to make
the campaign on domestic issues
and that President Roosevelt would
keep it on the foreign issue if possi-
ble seemed indicated in the ca^ly
days of the campaign.
But wise William Allen White, who
in the capacity of journalist at-
tended both conventions, declared
that neither Willkie nor Roosevelt
would determine the results of the
final election in November. It would J
be Hitler, he stated. He meant,
no doubt, that the repercussions of
a complete Hitler victory, or vice
versa, would weigh more with the
American voters than the oratory of
both Willkie and Roosevelt.
One thing seems conclusive. The
Old Guard in both the Republican
and the Democratic parties were not
at first satisfied with the final
choices. Much may depend on how
they ultimately accept the decision
of their conventions.
II GERMAN WAR:
Rumorings
There were twin rumors going the
usual rounds in the usual rialtos.
One of these rumors predicted a huge
mass offensive by the Germans
against England. The other rumor
was of peace. Hitler’s “blitzkrieg’’
against Britain had been “set” by
various “authorities” on several
days. These were wrong guesses
time and again as were the “peace"*
guesses.
‘NO BASIS’:
Ryoir No Nazi
Not everyone who is called a
“communist” is one, and not every-
one who is called a “Nazi” agent is
one. Carl Byoir, New York publi-
cist, is no “Nazi” representative,
says the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation. The FBI investigated on By-
oir’s request because Rep. Wright
Patman one day got up in the house
and sounded off against Byoir. The
enmity between the two is really |
over another matter. Patman’s i
“chain-store tax" bill is the source ;
of their feud. Byoir has been di-
recting publicity against the Pat-
man bill. So, among other things,
Patman called Byoir a Nazi tool. |
There was “no basis” to the charge,
reported the FBI.
CUBA LIBRE:
Elections
Col. Fulgencio Batista, Cuban dic-
tator for seven long years, beat Dr.
Grau San Martin in the Cuban pres-
idential election. Also, six provin-
cial governorships, most of the may-
orships, and 24 senatorial seats were
scheduled for Batista candidates.
Batista had, supporting him, parties
of the right, left and center. San
Martin had, supporting him, more
parties of the right, left and center.
The communists plumped for Ba-
tista, but so did some of the Cuban-
ero Tories.
Meanwhile, Generals Camacho
(government candidate) and Alma-
zan (opposition candidate) continued
to fuss and argue about the net re-
sults of the Mexican presidential
election. Both appealed to the fair
and tolerant President Cardenas,
the “honest broker.” Just the same
Camacho had it in the bag.
Rome Wants Return
The University of Rome demand-
ed that France give back, pronto,
all the art treasures that Napoleon
carted out of Italy, and set up In
Paris.

' * Red Cross group to sew for
refugees was started In our com-
munity. Now 14 women meet faith-
fully and make .about 50 woolen
dresses every week, in sizes 9 to
14, The group is financed through
gifts of money and materia! which
they themselves have solicited.
They bought the simplest dress
pattern that they could find and
then eliminated every unnecessary
detail. “Work for quantity—don't
bother with a collar or pocket,”
the county Red Cross leader urged.
I have just sketched here some
short cuts used to speed up pro-
duction; and as I write this, look-
ing out of my studio window over
a beautiful and peaceful garden, I
am trying not to think of winter
and what it will be like in Europe
when some child is wearing this
little blue woolen frock.
