Hoover proposed the unpreceden-

approve the plan, designed to
stabilise tj>* crashing finances of
Europe.
But none of his economic re-
lief measures stayed the depres-
aion at home. A highlight of the
days were the veterans’ bonus
marches, including the one on the
White House that produced a call
to the regular army to maintain
order.
Yes, the depression came.

$25,000 a year for its mainte-

In the meantime, Mrs. Hender-
son’s granddaughter went to
court to block the transfer of the
property on the ground that the
aged woman was not capable of
managing Her estate. The grand-
daughter was Mrs. Beatrice Hen-

This apparently touched off a
family quarre, because Mrs. Hen-
derson announced that Mrs.
Wholean was not actually her
granddaughter, but an adopted
child. The General’s widow then
drew up a new will which cut off

It did not get much attention,
but another attempt was made in
Congress last week to provide a
so-called Little White House for
the vice-president. Two curop&n
ion (dlls along that line were in-
troduced during th* emergency
session. One bill was introduced
by a Republican living in Califor-
nia, the home state of the GOP
candidate for the vice-presidency,
Earl Warren. The other was spon-
sored by a Democrat from Ken-
tucky. The Democratic candi-
date, Senator Alben Barkley, lives
in Kentucky.

If ever there was a time when
the world needed a tonic against
the enervating effects of extreme
nationalism, that time is now. So
it is that something which hap-
pened at the Olympic games now
being held in London come* as a
welcome bracer. Mot enough, per-
haps, to offset recriminations of
the international politician*, but
certainly enough to show that the
wind can still blow right in human
relationships.
It i* the sportsmanship shown
by the British public and Olympic
officials in hte controversy over
the 409-meter relay race.
This sportsmanship ia all the
more outstanding when you con-
sider that the Olympics haven't
always been a manifestation of
international harmony and good-
will. The world still remembers
Adolph Hitl*r's brutal snub of
Jesse Owens, th* American negro
who was the star in the BerHn
games in 1936. More recently,
there was the we-won’t-play-if-the-
Israelis-do attitude of the Arab
States, But let's talk about the
good—there is so precious little of
it.
If you’ve paid any heed at all
te the Olympic games, you know
that the United States team has
been ruaning away with th* gold
—or shall we say, gold-gilt—
medal honors. In the first week
alone, American athletes raptured
more medals than they did during
th* entire sports festival in Ber-
lin 12 yeais ago. And th* latest
reports from London show they
still are going strong.
’Way down in th* li*t are th*
British. Last Saturday, they got
their reward in their first impor-
tant track event — appropriately
enough on what was th* official
Britain’s day. It came In the 4(H)
meter relays.
To be sure, Mel Patton of
Southern California, th# anchor
man on the American team came
in first by a good 10 yards. Every-
body In the stands got up to hear
once again the “Star Spangled
Banner.” But then there was a
murmur, and the inurmur grew
into a roar as the 80 thousand
sports fans saw the name of Great
Britain inserted in the winner’s
frame on the indicator hoard.
Here, at long last, was sweet
victory. But when th* crowd real-
ised that victory had been award-
ed the British on a judge's con-
tention of a foul—that Barney
Ewell supposedly had passed th*
baton to Lorenzo Wright, his
American teammate, outside th*
boundary zone, the roar of triumph
fadad. There wu applause when

the British team assembled on the
victor’s stand for their medals,
but it was nothing compared te
the applause given the four disap-
pointed Americans as they left the
arena. The reports from London
described this ovatiqn a* the most
sustained even known at th* fa-
mous Wembley Stadium.
The Americans, of course, pro-
tested the judge*' decision. They
felt certain that they had not been
guilty of a foul. Many British
sportswritars criticized them un-
mercifully for this action. Clifford
Webb of th* Daily Herald said the
United States might have accepted
th* official decision in better
grace. Frank Butler wrote In the
Daily Express: “What a pity there
should be a protest. There U no
doubt that th* Americans had tha
fastest team—but rules are rules.”
But the official Olympic film*
have shown that the Americans did
not commit a foul. And today, the
jury of th* International Amateur
Athletic Federation reverse# th*
ruling and gave th* United States
the rare with the British second.
There are many Britons who, in
th* words of Geoffrey Simpson of
the Daily Mail, would rather they
finish with a blank sceresheet than
gain th* title by a foul. Lord
Burghley, the chairman of th*
Olympic organizing committee,
verified that today when he con-
gratulated the Americans. "W* are
glad,” he said, "to put It right.
The better team won.”
By this attitude, the British
have put the Olympics righ* whtre
thsy belong. They won’t win th*
title, but they already have won
*ne of tbe greatest achievements
with honor. * W.'ft
