He has been two months walking the 560 miles up from Panama, and he likes it. His name is John F. Stahl. He was born in Ohio 57 years ago. He went into the Railway Mail Service as a young man. Then from 1918 to 1935 he was - a mail carrier at Mineral Park, Cal, a small town about 50 miles south of San Francisco. In 1935 he retired.

AT THE RISK of losing my job to a better man— certainly one who knows the history of early baseball like nobody's business—I'm going to turn today’s column over to Joe Kelly. “Dear Mr. Scherrer,” begins Mr. Kelly; “In a hook in my library, ‘The National Game’ by . A. H. Spink, then editor of the Sporting News, the early history of baseball in Indianapolis is treated. “The first ‘big’ team in Indianapolis, according to this history, was that of 1877 which won that year the pennant of the International Association. On that team were the ‘Only’ Nolan and ‘Silver’ Flint, his catcher, and the great backstop of that era, later catcher with Anson’s White Sox. “A baseball character, W. B. Pettit, organized this team, building it. for the season of 1876. This team was; made up of Flint, Nolan, Charley Houtz (1b); Joe Quest (2b); John ‘Trick’ McSorley (3b); Denny Mack (ss); Edgar Cuthbert and Mike Golden (If); Fred Warner (cf) and Ad Rocap (rf). ‘” # #

The N eanderthal Men

“McSorley was one of those quick thinkers—hence the sobriquet ‘Trick.’ This team became one of the + greatest winning nines in America” due, to a great extent, to the work of Nolan and Flint. Nolan pitched every day in the week, according to this historian. One season he pitched 114 games. Flint caught in every one. Neanderthal gentlemen they were in ‘them’ days.” (Except for this one emotional outburst, Mr. Kelly never again forgets himself and “{reats the subject with/the objectivity it deserves.) “7! “In 1878,” continues Mr. Kelly, “Indianapolis joined the National League. This team failed to win the flag and it lost money. The season ended $2500 in

‘Washington

« WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Headlines saying “U. S. Launches World Peace Parley” go a little too strong. Eventually they may come true—but that will depend. ' . President Roosevelt has asked Undersecretary of State ‘Welles to go to Europe as his confidential eyes * and ears and size up the situation. His job is not to make proposals but to listen to any. talk of possible peace terms that either side cares to make known, It is to be all informal, confidential, for the private information and guidance of President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull. The stop .in Italy is of minor importance. The significant thing is that Mr. Welles will visit the belligerents—Germany, England and France. He is a career diplomat, veteran of many E situations, a most attentive listener, not too much of a talker, There can’t ve any intelligent objection to sending Mr. Welles to Europe at this time, for if he is ever going, now is the time. I doubt if he or anybody knows whether he will find any hopeful circumstances. Our Ambhassador to London, Joseph Kennedy, came back some weeks ago so gloomy that he could scarcely discuss it.” He saw nothing but doom ahead. Our Ambassador to France, William C. Bullitt, who has just returned here, is reported to be more optimistic,

My Day

WASHINGTON, Sunday.—I told you the other day that something had happened on Wednesday which I had found: very thrilling, and I must go back to teil ‘you about it. -I have always greatly admired Edna Ferber, but never had the opportunity to meet her. A mutual friend suggested bringing her to me, so I invited them to lunch. I confess I was a little nervous, for so often people you admire at a distance do not mean so much to you after you meet them. In this case, however, ‘when Miss Ferber left, I felt that I had had the privilege of meet“ing a grand person and I shall ‘look forward to every new thing from her pen with added interest and anticipation. I am very much impressed to \ find myself occupying half a page in the 75th anniversary edition of the Nation. I have always had a great respect for anyone who was good enough to write for the Nation, so perhaps I may be forgiven if I feel a little puffed up &t being permitted to be a contributor to this important number.

Gallup Poll—

As Dewey Vote Dips

By Dr. George Gallup PRINCETON, N. J, Feb. 12.—With the first Republican Presidential primaries only a few weeks away, the lateSt nationwide survey of the American Institute of Public Opinion shows further shifts and changes in the popularity of leading ' Republican candidates— and new indications that rank-and-file Republican opinion has not yet reached a final crystallization.

Dewey. continues to lead all other Republican eligibles in the Institute’s survey, but his popular vote recedes somewhat from the highpoint reached a month ago. At that time, shorily after Mr. Dewey’s formal entrance. into the 1940 race with speeches at: New * York and Minneapolis, the InstiCt found ‘60 per cent of those whe were interviewed, and who had definite opinions, in favor of the New . York prosecutor. In the current survey his vote slides to 56 per cent. . Both Senator Vandenberg and Senator Taff, on the other hand, have increased their standings with the voters in the past month. The largest increase occuys in the ‘case ‘of Senator Taft, who has been speaking widely and frequently throughout the country. Whereas: Mr. Taft polled 11 per cent of the G. O. P, preference vote in’ January, he receives 17 _per cent today. ° Until his speech at St. Paul Saturday night, Senator Vandenberg has shown relatively little activity with regard to the 1940 nomination. In the past month, however, the Michigan Senator has held his position well, receiv ing 17 per cent of the preference .vote today as compared with 16 per cent in January. Vandenberg’s strength is also attested by the fact that for a period of 22 months—from January, 1937, to November, 1938—he led all other Republican eligibles in Presidential support in Institute tests. As with Senator Taft, the indications are that active campaigning on Vandenberg’s part would increase his following. 2 8 8

NOTHER significant development of the past month, the survey shows, is the appearance of Publisher Frank Gannett of Rochester on the list of leading candidates, following the formal announcement of his candidacy. In the Institute’s survey a carefully selected cross-segment of Republican voters, representing the

Members of the committee are Mrs. Florence ¥. Carpenter, 212 E! 28th St., Robert Belcher of Purdue University, Mrs. Dan West of Goshen, Lowell Cox of Earlham Col-~ lege and Jack Poole of DePauw University. Mrs. Carpenter was secretary of 'Saturday’s conference, Mr. Belcher lead a seminar on pacifist education for men of draft age and Mr. Poole presented to the conference the first issue of a “Pacifist Journal for Indiana.” The conference was sponsored by the Fellowship of Reconciliation and

VANDENBERG—179,

In a month. marked by political campaigning on many fronts, the popularity of Thomas E. Dewey, Senator Vandenberg and Senator Taft underwent significant changes, the: latest nation-wide survey of Republican voters / indicates. While Dewey remained well in front, his popularity slipped slightly while Senators Vandenberg and Taft improved their standings. Although the Republican convention may select the G. 0. P. nominee on other grounds, the present survey shows the popular standing of the leading candidates as the race speeds up.

17 million voters who cast their ballots for Landon in 1939 and those: who favor a Republican victory in November, were asked: “Whom : would you like to see elected President this year?” The: following table shows the replies of ‘persons with opinions on the question, with last month's vote for comparison: |

NOTHER important factor in the popularity picture today is the fact that more than a third of the Republicans interviewed (36%) said they had not yet made up their minds who their first choice would be.

HINDUS EXPECTS 60 YEARS’ WAR

Oppressive measures undertaken by Hitler's troops in Moravia and Poland have sowed the seeds for 60 years of warfare in Europe, Maurice Hindus, author and foreign correspondent, predicted last night, ' Mr. Hindus, making an American lecture tour, spoke at the Kirshbaum Community .Center. He was emphatic in his -declaration that the | United States must keep out of Europe’s “hates.” “All the blood that a million American soldiers might spill in Europe would not wash out thei. smoldering hatred which the Nazis have aroused by their invasion of Czecho-Slovakia. and Poland,” he ‘said.

must also be classed as “front-! runners” at the present time. There. is a double-edged fact about Mr. Dewey's candidacy, however, which helps’ to explain his present popularity with the rank-and-file of the Republican Party. First of all, as shown in an Institute test last July, almost as many Republicans consicer Mr. Dewey a “liberal” in politics as consider him a : “conservative.” Senator Vandenberg, on the other hand, and especially Senator Taft, are classified : by = the average G. O. P. vofer as “conservatives.” As another Institute survey. to be published later, indicates. the prevailing sentiment of Republican voters is toward a greater degree of liberalism than the party favored in 1936. The second fact which helps to explain Mr. Dewey’s presen: popularity is the widespread belief (among Republicans) that Dewey would have a better chance of being elected next November than some of the other G. O. P. leaders. In a supplementary question in today’s survey the Institute asked: “Which of these three candidates do you think would have the best chance of getting elected President —Senator Taft, Thomas Dewey or Senator Vandenberg? The replies of those with opinions were:

Carl Vandivier, Republican county chairman, issued a statement today urging all Republicans and independent voters to reister now in order fo be qualified for voting in the primary election May 7. ~ He warned that registration will close the 29th day before the primary. Once a citizen has been registered, he said, it is not necessary for him to register again unless he has ‘moved sihce registering, or has failed to vote for two years, Anyone wishing to register may do so now (without standing in line) at Room 34, Court House. In urging all Republicans and independents to register, Mr. Vandivier said: “I have ‘been told this is not ‘smart’ politics; that a practical county: chairman would urge only those voters Yo register who: are willing to vote ‘right’ in the primary. And in this manner a county chair‘man can build a political machine and perpetuate himself in office. “That is not my purpose. I believe it's about time that .at least a majority ‘of the Republicans in. the county should indicate .their choice of the candidates’ by voting in the primary. In the past here in this county, less than half of the Republicans have selected the ticket in the primary to be voted for by all Republicans and’ a’ lot of .independents in November. / “Too many people say ‘I don’t bother to vote in the primary; I only vote in the General Election.’ In my opinion, this is a deplorable condition. -1t is a very unhealthy condition for the party, and certainly will not bring out the high-grade men and women we should all like to see run for office. : “Another reason for this appeal to our Republican and independent voters to register now is that by so doing - the party workers will. not have the. _back-breaking job in the
