VTEW YORK.—Snapping the Unit-
ed States liner, America, new
queen of the American Merchant
marine, through the Narrows, into
quaranti n e
and so on
to her dock,
Capt. Giles
Chester Sted-
man, master of the new' leviathan,
handled his ship as deftly as a lad
would handle a toy. Indeed, in his
various maneuverings of the 35,000-
ton luxury liner on her maiden pas-
senger-carrying trip from Newport
News, Va., Captain Stedman evinced
sheer delight in putting his new
charge through her paces. The 900
guests, United States senators, ship-
ping magnates and so forth, must
have cast their thoughts back to
days when amid mountainous waves
and winds ranging from gale to hur-
ricane proportions, this young skip-
per—he is only 42 years old—per-
formed deeds of daring-do on the
deep, deeds that have gained for him
a gold medal from the Italian gov-
ernment; the United States navy
cross; the silver life-saving plaque
from the British admiralty; the
Treasury department gold medal
and other like testimonials of high
courage and skilled seamanship.
There was that tumultuous day
in the mid-Atlantic, October 20,
1925, when the President Hard-
ing, of which Stedman was then
chief officer, steamed to the res-
cue of the Italian freighter, Ig-
nacio Florio, beaten down and
sinking. Stedman stepped to one
of the lifeboats and called for a
volunteer crew. Every man jack
of the distressed crew was saved.
Two years later, westbound and
about 1,575 miles from New York,
the wireless operator brought Sted-
man a message from the British
freighter Exeter City. The craft
had lost her captain, third officer
and two seamen and-was sinking.
The seas were a veritable
witchbroth, the wind shrieking
at hurricane force. No possibili-
ty existed for the survival of a
small boat in such a sea. So
Stedman maneuvered his vessel
sufficiently close to admit of a
line being shot aboard the dis-
tressed freighter. With tackle
thus rigged, a lifeboat was low-
ered from the American Mer-
chant and pulled to the sinking
vessel and the crew saved. The
seamanship involved was said to
have represented one of the fin-
est exploits in American annals.
Last September, commanding
the United States liner Washing-
ton, Stedman rescued the entire
crew of the British freighter Ol-
ivergrovc torpedoed by U-boat.
/— — —
As a youngster, deciding upon a
sea career, Stedman joined the Unit-
ed States Coastguard, where in the
first World war he saw two years’
hazardous service in convoy work
in the Mediterranean sea and Eng-
lish channel. When peace came,
Stedman enrolled in the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology for I
courses in marine engineering. He
joined the United States Line in 1922, I
was made a chief officer in 1925
and at the age of 34 received his i
first command.
Here are the “Big Four" in the new cabinet of Japan, set up after the
resignation of Premier Tonal. Left to right: Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye; Yosukc Matsuoka, foreign minister; Vice-Admiral Zengo Yoshida,
minister of the navy; and Lieut. General Eikl Tojo, war minister. This new
cabinet is pledged to closer co-operation with the Rome-Berlin axis and has
set up its own Monroe Doctrine of the East.

/~\NE of the most hard-boiled citi-
zens this reporter ever knew
was a bookish college dean who al-
ways spoke softly, but swung from
Colonel Peck of somewhat “in
Marine» a Full this picture is
Buthel of Spunk Col. De witt
Peck of the
U. S. Marines, who gives quiet em-
phasis to plain words in Shanghai,
as the Japanese menace the for-
eign areas and tension increases.
The Japanese seem to think they
need an "incident,” and Colonel
Peck isn’t at all likely to provide
one—but he doesn’t back down.
When he is in mufti or in-
formal dress, he is rarely with-
out a book in bis pocket and
never without his pipe. He may
or may not read Bergson, but
he "thinks like a man of action
and acts like a man of thought."
He won the Victory Medal for
Gallantry in the World war bat-
tles of the Meuse-Argonne and
8t. Mihiei, and the Medal of the
Purple Heart for doubling in
negotiating and fighting in Latin-
America. He graduated from
Annapolis in 1915 and is 46.
His career is a reminder that this
country has had quite a workout
In handling explosive situations here
and there around the world. In
Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti and other
Latin-American countries, Colonel
Peck has been a successful trouble-
shooter and has brought things
through nicely without eating dirt
or leaving any hard feelings. He
has built a reputation as a scholar
in his studious application to prob-
lems of naval and military science.
He is six feet tall, slender and aca-
demic in appearance but said to
pack « powerful punch.-
U. S. DEFENSE:
War Games
Accent on war came closer to
home for hundreds of thousands of
American families when they saw
310.000 of their sons, brothers, and
fathers march off to the largest
peacetime maneuvers in American
history.
From coast to coast, border to
border, U. S. army regulars, Nation-
al Guardsmen and organized re-
serves were mobilized for a 21-day
training period that swung them in
divisions, corps and armies into sim-
ulated battle conditions in a war
game around the Canadian border.
Congress
Meanwhile President Roosevelt
sent a message asking congress for
authority to call the National Guard
into training for a year and gave
his endorsement to the movement
for peacetime conscription. After a
favorable committee report the
senate readily granted the National
Guard authority (71-7) and sent this
measure to the house.
Senate military committee ap-
proved the modified Burke-Wads-
worth conscription bill, but there
were predictions the weeks of com-
mittee debate are only the prelude
of what is ahead on the senate and
house floor. Bill now confines regis-
tration to men between ages of 21
to 31. Former War Secretary
Woodring opposes the measure and
urges lowering army enlistment pe-
riod of one year and raising pay, in
order to attract volunteers.
House leaders devoted hours of
struggle to excess profits taxes and
defense orders, combination of
which promises to be tightest bottle-
neck. Present plan is to permit
cost of plant expansions to be de-
ducted from taxable earnings over
five-year period, at rate of 20 per
cent each year. Manufacturers
want to net enough from defense
orders to pay for necessary new fa-
cilities, definitely do not want to risk
paying taxes on worthless property,
as many had to do after 1919. U. S.
Chamber of Commerce said: "Prob-
abilities of loss are so great . . .
many business men would rather
not undertake such business.”
Also in Washington:
«. List of contracts approved re-
vealed the navy had agreed to pur-
chase large number of trawlers to
lay submarine nets in principal U. S.
harbors.
fl. Alien registration to include
3.600.000 will begin August 27.
fl. Assistant State Secretary Welles
holds action by duress comes within
the act of Havana.
C, The house passed and sent to the
senate a bill to permit wire-tapping
In investigations of espionage, sab-
otage and treason.
NAMES
in the news
C. Running for re-election to the
U. S. senate, in the Democratic
and Republican primaries, Senator
Hiram Johnson of California heard
himself labeled by President Roose-
velt as “no longer a liberal and cer-
tainly not a Progressive Democrat."
U. J. R. McCarl, former comptroller
general, died in Washington.
C, Lord Beaverbrook, Canadian-born
London publisher, was added to
England’s inner war cabinet and is
expected soon to replace Alfred Duff
Cooper as minister of information.
0. Neville Chamberlain, Britain’s
premier and advocate of appease-
ment, underwent an operation and
may retire from the cabinet.
C Harriet Eliot, consumers’ mem-
ber of the National Defense com-
mission, revealed that body would
stagger buying for the army and
navy to prevent undue pressure on
the consumer and consequent price
raises.
BATTLE OF BRITAIN:
Invasion
Information from unoccupied
France was that German troops in
great volumes were moving toward
the French channel ports. Germany
closed all travel and communica-
tion routes between occupied and un-
occupied France.
Worried about the turn of events
in the Far East, England offered
self-rule to India after the war if
that country would now aid the Brit-
ish cause.
England, with a new army com-
mander-in-chief, Sir Alan Brooke,
changed its mode of defense. Boast-
ing an army of 4,000,000 well-trained
men, It swung back to the old theory
that the best defense is an offense.
Therefore road obstructions laid to
delay movement of an enemy if he
arrived were dug up—to permit the
British army to get at him faster,
if he did.
Bombings
England bombed Germany and
Germany bombed England. Both
sides claimed heavy damage to the
other. Germany claimed the port
of Dover, England, a shambles.
England claimed the port of Ham-
burg, Germany, "pulverized." Both
sides denied they were hurt much.
Virtually all British raids on Ger-
many and German-held territory
have been night calls, when safety
is greatest for the fliers. On the
other hand, Germans have paid day-
light calls on England. This has
led to the opinion the Nazi fliers
were more Interested in observation
than destruction. But several east-
ern and southern English ports vir-
tually have ceased to be open for
commerce.
In Africa
Meanwhile Mussolini began wai
like gestures in Africa. Italian
troops said to number 250,000 moved
from Italian possessions on Egypt
and British Somaliland. London
newspapers warned their readers to
expect some Italian successes.
Duce’s goal is believed to be Suez
and the gate to India.
INDIGNATION:
Japan So Sorry
Arrest of nine British trade lead-
ers and journalists in Japan was
designated by Tokyo as breaking
up of an espionage plot. Nipponese
reported "suicide” of one journalist
soon after his arrest. They raid he
unfortunately leaped from a window.
England demanded explanations
and London papers called for re-
taliation. Four Britishers eventually
were released but London was
aroused by now and the arrest of
an undisclosed number of Japanese
in England, and elsewhere in the
British empire, put a further strain
on Anglo-Japanese relations.
Ambassador Namoru Shigemitsu
lodged a "strong protest” with Vis-
count Halifax, Britain’s foreign sec-
retary, against arrest in London of
representatives of two great Japa-
nese banking and commercial
houses. He was said to have re-
quested their immediate release.
There was no official comment, but
unofficially it was said the arrest of
the Britains in Japan and of the
Japanese in Britain was “pure co-
incidence.” Tokyo said the British
action was retaliation.
SPIES:
Nation Alert
G-Men have increased their force,
due to many complaints about espi-
onage, Chief G-Man J. Edgar Hoo-
ver told governors and their repre-
sentatives, called together by Pres-
ident Roosevelt to form a common
front against Fifth Columnists. Prior
to 1938 the FBI Investigated 35 cases
a year. In 1938 the number rose to
250 and last year to 1,651. So far
this year 16,855 investigations have

Paul Derringer has played a lead-
ing role in the Red drive for the last
two years, despite the fact that sev-
en years ago he was rated all
through and on his way over the

ing for both Cardinals and Reds he
won 7 games and lost 27, for the
meager average of 206, for below

CAMPAIGN:
The Farmer
Republican candidate, Wendell
Willkle, bent an ear to the wheat
and corn belt problems when he end-
ed his Colorado vacation by going
to Des Moines, Iowa, to meet gov-
ernors and their representatives
.’rom midwestern states. What they
told him form the basis for his ag-
ricultural utterances in his accept-
ance speech. But he indicated he
will advocate no change in the cur-
rent farm program.
Efforts of Senator Wheeler (D.,
Mont.) to learn the Republican can-
didate's views on the conscription
measures failed. Willkie said the
President could have his opinion
anytime he asked for it. Otherwise
they also will first appear in the
acceptance speech.
Democratic candidate for vice
president. Farm Secretary Henry A.
Wallace, changed his mind about
staying in office during the cam-
paign. He said he will resign when
he accepts the nomination. He also
had a little trouble with a "boom-
erang" (see cut).
BRITAIN’S PROBLEM:
Naval Losses
German claims to heavy destruc-
tion of British shipping show basis
for alarm. Britain started war with
183 destroyers. They admit 29 are
sunk and more are laid up for re-
pairs. Less than 100 are believed
in operation. Nazis say British loss
in merchant ships is larger than in
the World war, in excess of 5,000,000
tons.
DON’T BE AFRAID
America is as free from danger
of invasion as she ever was, Kath-
leen Norris believes. She points out
that many years will pass before
Hitler can be ready to attack us,
and a lot of things can happen in
that lime. If he does try to come
over here, his invading fleets would
be stopped long before they reached
our shores. Miss Norris points out.
Ships for Sale
been made.
Condition may have reaction in 1
U. S. The United States has 238
destroyers, twice as many as any
other two navies. Committee to De- 1
fend America by Aiding Allies is
agitating for sale of 60 "over-age
and unused destroyers" to British.
Those favoring sale argue it would
be better to put ships to practical
use than to allow them to rust
in U. S. navy yards.
Agitation was brought into the
open when Gen. John J. Pershing,
commander of the A. E. F., spoke
in favor of the sale. He said it
might be the last act America
might be able to make “short of
war,” and said by sending help to
the British we “still can hope with
confidence to keep the war on the
other side of the Atlantic ocean.”
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, in a
speech to the anti-war rally at Chi-
cago, warned that in the future
America “may have to deal with a
Europe dominated by Germany,”
and advocated "non-interference by
America with affairs in Europe.”
For these remarks the “lone eagle”
was branded as “the chief of the
fifth column in this country,” by
Senator Pepper of Florida. This
statement resulted in some bitter
debate on the floor of the senate.
MISCELLANY:
Disappointment
The duke and duchess of Windsor
frustrated the hopes of many ex-
pectant dowagers when they decid-
ed not to come to America, en
route to the former king’s new job,
governor general of the Bahamas.
His royal highness changed plans,
decided to disembark at Bermuda.
There have been rumors, however,
that his Pennsylvania-born, Balti-
more-bred wife soon may visit
America for a plastic operation, de-
tails unannounced.
When reserve army officers of the
medical corps were called to Car-
lisle barracks, Pennsylvania, for
training, the major course was trop-
ical and semi-tropical diseases.
A death sentence was voted by a
French court for the rebel Gen.
Charles de Galle, who fled to Eng-
land when the armistice was signed
and has since organized French
forces for further resistance. Still
to hear their fate are Former Pre-
miers Edouard Daladier and Leon
Blum and Marshal Maurice Came-
lln. De Galle and Blum still are
not in French hands.
This war will end. Humiliations will be. swallowed; prices will be paid;
hearts broken; children starved or destroyed by malnutrition: the dead will be
buried: and a great many loud voices will be silenced by death.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
r | ''WO pamphlets came to
I my desk this morning,
J- from the Writers Anti-
War bureau for Anti-War
Mobilization. If your interior
economy, like mine, has been
in something of a quiver of ir-
repressible terror over the
war news of late, over the
horrors that pour in upon us
from the telephone, radio,
movie news, press, the two
treatises together form a fine
tonic for today’s excitement
and hysteria; the “frantic
boast and foolish word” of
Germany and Italy are affect-
ing us all, and we are already
looking skyward to see the
parachute troops darkening
our free skies.
A victorious Germany, this
article reminds us, won’t be
much better off than a defeat-
ed France and England. Fam-
ine is staring all Europe in
the face now, victors and van-
quished alike.
Policing Task Tremendous.
The complete picture of Hitler’s
policing job would look like this, ac-
cording to the pamphlet. Forty-two
million Frenchmen, forty-six million
British; seventeen million Belgians
and Dutch; plus Norwegians, Poles,
Danes, Czechs, Austrians and Lux-
embourgers will bring the total to
over one hundred fifty million per-
sons.
"Most of these,” the essay states,
’’are more bitterly opposed to Hit-
ler than we are—they have more
reason to be. Furthermore, inside
Germany itself all is not well . . .
With this threatening mass of hatred
around him, Hitler would probably
think more than twice before he
looked around for more enemies.”
Friends Now, Foes Later.
The article goes on to sketch the
situation of a completely triumphant
Germany, holding a very shaky
truce with Russia, it is true, for
Stalin is none too comfortable a
neighbor, and holding with Italy one
of those compacts which, as we’ve
all seen in the last disgraceful
weeks, is all ready to be transferred
to any new winner, as soon as that
winner is declared.
But suppose all that settled, and
the European peoples, one hundred
and fifty million strong, meekly
herded into line; then we are to
imagine Hitler turning toward us.
His dead buried, the crippled activi-
ties of a dozen nations mended and
shakily busy once more, the inev-
itable famine of the awful winter of
1940-41 somehow survived, and the
dictators themselves still alive—
which is always a big assumption-
then they’re ready for us. The plan
would be to establish a great mili-
tary base in one of the Central
American countries. But hundreds
of thousands of men must be landed
there before a gun can be fired, lines
of communication opened, and guns,
tanks, ammunition, hospitals, com-
missary, the tremendous staffs of
engineers and mechanics made
available. Raw country must be
opened, and the complete co-opera-
tion of the entire invaded country as-
sured. And what would we be do-
ing?
Odds in Our Favor.
Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood, chief
of staff, line of communications, A.
E. F., says that we have only five
ports in the United States at which
enemy forces could disembark. All
the while he was getting ashore his
lighters, barges, piers, cranes, spe-
cial equipment, we would be right
in our own country, with inexhausti-
ble supplies at our backs. Military
experts maintain, says this author-
ity, that our navy and airplanes
could stop Hitler long before he got
anywhere near our shores.
Obviously, an invading army,
especially across one of the great
oceans, is at a disadvantage. That’s
why we are as nearly invincible at
home as any country can be. That’s
why It seems, to many women at
least, a foolish thing to carry naval
threats too far away from home.
Taking care of ourselves, maintain-
ing a dignified attitude to national
troubles overseas that are neither
understood by us nor of our mak-
ing, would seem the wiser policy. It
would seem the characteristic Amer-
ican policy. For while we are will-
ing to kelp in every other possible
way, and have so helped and while
we are willing to give political rec-
ognition to totalitarian governments
everywhere, and have so given it, it
is too much to expect a normally
peaceful and friendly nation that she
be scared into sharing in wars she
did nothing to create.
Life Will Go On.
This war will end. Humiliations
will be swallowed; prices will be
paid; hearts broken; children
starved or destroyed by malnutri-
tion; the dead will be buried; and
a great many loud voices will be
silenced by death. And when we’ll
all emerge, adjusted to the new con-
ditions, recognizing a little less pow-
er and pride in this nation, a little
more power and pride in that, a tag
of territory clipped off here and at-
tached there.
And for the great mass of Euro-
pean women the day’s problem will
be what it always was: a Job for
the man, a welcome for the new
baby, a little less butter perhaps
and fewer exchanges of old cars
for new; pleasures that can’t be
kept away where there is health and
work and love; reconciliation to new
ideas—ideas which will be fading
and blending and changing into the
old ideas before they are fairly ac-
cepted.
It Has Happened Before.
For the face of Europe has been
war-riddled and the boundaries of
Europe changed incessantly for one
thousand years. Spain ruled The
Netherlands by inherited right; Po- ^
land has been anybody’s and every- j
body’s; Calais was Queen Mary’s; |
Alsace and Lorraine have to look in
the glass every morning to see
whether they’re French or German;
autocracy starved and shot down
the people of Russia within the
memory of man; nothing that can
happen there today can surprise
them after what they knew in 1905,
and all the long centuries before 1905,
Spain has had a dozen insurrections
in a hundred years; her kings dis-
appear, reappear, fly again. Napo-
leon thought he owned Holland and
Italy, and sallied gallantly Into Rus-
sia across what wasn’t yet Belgium,
in 1800. In a generation or two all
the countries lapsed back to their
original positions, if indeed Euro-
pean countries may be said to have
such things.
So "sursum corda.” Which is one
way of saying: "Lift up your
hearts.” Our own history is a gal-
lant one—unafraid, friendly, content-
ed within its own borders. Our
northern neighbors are united to us
by more than one hundred years of
friendship. Our two great oceans
give us a protection that any Euro-
pean nation well may envy. We
are not thieves; we buy what we
want and keep the friendship of the
purchaser. The world laughed at us
when we bought Alaska, at the Gads-
den Purchase, the Louisiana Pur-
chase, when we made compensation
for the Philippines. But that was
wise dealing. France, Spain, Rus-
sia aren’t trying to steal anything
back from us, as a result. Let the
other nations learn that lesson and
we’U have a better world.
Don’t be afraid.
PAUL DERRINGER
coming October. He is around 6
feet 4, weighing 210 pounds.
He began unveiling bis right arm
in Danville in 1927, 13 years ago.
In 1933 St. Louis traded Paul to Cin-
cinnati for Leo Durocher and others
now unknown. Both teams got star
men.
Mandarin Durocher, now guarding
the destinies of the Dodgers, would
just as soon that Derringer had been
traded to another club, preferably
Brooklyn.
The Serious Athlete
Paul is what you would call a
serious athlete. There is no great
amount of levity in his nature.
Those who don’t know him might call
him surly or sulky, but he isn’t.
Quiet people are often thrown into
this class, when they should be
awarded chaplets of laurel or wild
apple blossoms.
Outside of baseball he likes to
hunt and he doesn’t mind being
alone.
Today Paul Derringer comes close
to being the best all-around pitcher
in baseball. He is certainly the
smartest.
Six years after he turned in his
.206 average with the Reds he gave
the same city a winning average
of .781. This upward leap of 575
points is close to the high-jump rec-
ord of all time. But it still belongs
to Paul Derringer.
He was on his way over the high
hill seven years ago. He had made
three World series starts and had
lost them all. He had taken more
than bis share of hammering. But
a year ago in his older age he won
25 games and he’ll win 25 or more
this season.
His main specialty seems to be
one and two-hitters. He has been
closer to more no-hlt games than
any pitcher in the trade.
Unless some peculiar series of epi-
sodes takes place, the same Der-
ringer will be heard from in loud
tones in the next World series.
Another Entry
You can add the name of Freddy
Fitzsimmons to this all-star list.
Freddy was 39 years old on Sun-
day. The Dodger star began pitch-
ing for Muskegon in the Central
league just 20 years ago. He stuck
with the Giants for 13 years until
Bill Terry decided there was no
longer any winning stuff left in
Freddy’s right arm.
So Terry traded him to Brooklyn.
This season, after 20 years of
pitching, Fitzsimmons has already
won 10 games for Brooklyn against
a lone defeat. He has the highest
pitching percentage in baseball.
Having packed away 202 major
league victories, Fits-is just warm-
ing up. He has an all-time life aver-
age around .600, which is nothing to
leer at after you have been around
since 1920.
Fits Is one of the fine character!
of baseball. He Is one of the main
credits to the game that has car-
ried him along into middle age-
middle age as far as active competi-
tion is concerned.
And with 10 out of 11 for ’.940 ha
is now heuded for his greatest year.
Those Who Come Back
The most somber line ever writ-
ten in sport was this: “They don’t
come back.”
Nothing was ever farther from the
truth. No other line has ever had
a more depressing effect on some
stars.
The true fact is they keep on com-
ing back. We have just related the
two cases of Derringer and Fitz-
simmons. Then there is Schoolboy;
Rowe.
