‘Hoosier Vagabond

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 20.—By his own admission, Al Lang is one of the happiest men alive. And why shouldn't he be? He has enough money to do exactly what he wants to do. That consists

of two things. Going to baseball games and tooting . the horn for St. Petersburg. He is one of the nation’s most rabid baseball fans. He is more than just a fan—he is an intimate of everyone in baseball. There isn't a big league player he doesn’t know personally. Nor an owner, nor official, nor sports writer. He is part of baseball. And yet he never played a game in his life, outside of sandlots. - Al Lang is one of St. Petersurg’s prominent citizens... He has been working for the city ; heart and soul for almost 30 years—and all of it without pay except for four years when he was mayor. And even those four years he spent $10,000 of his own money. . His life is really quite odd. He gets up every morning and goes downtown and reports for work. He works hard all day. And yet he doesn’t draw a dime in salary. And doesn’t want to. : He is the liaison man between St. Petersburg and the two big league teams that do their spring train- - ing here—the New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals. He is the man who brought big league teams here to train in thé first place. St. Petersburg has not been without a big league spring trainer since the first one came in 1914.

2 2 = ‘A Rabid Baseball Fan The Yankees have been coming here for 16 years, the Cardinals four. They depend on Al Lang for everything. Whatever the city wants done about baseball, or whatever the teams want the city to do— Al Lang does it. - : He has seen every world series since 1903. He has known every important figure in baseball since A. G. Spalding. He is always on the train with the teams

Wire-Tapping

WASHINGTON, April 20.—J. Edgar Hoover charges over a national hookup that the widespread criticism of his FBI emanates directly or indirectly from antiAmerican bodies trying to disrupt the. entire United States. Surely Mr. Hoover does not intend to put the venerable Senator Norris, dean of American Liberals and leader of the current FBI criticism, Senator Wheeler and many other eminent elected representatives of the American people, in the class of subversive enemies of the republic. Among those who have dared criticize wire-tapping—an FBI practice until the recent NorrisWheeler objections—are the Justices of the U. S. Supreme Court. Were Congress and the Supreme Court subversive in outlawing Mr. Hoover's method? Mr. Hoover went on violating the law. Long after the law, was passed he insisted that his wire-tapping was legal. Are Mr. Hoover and his FBI above the law? That i the issue raised by the Norris-Wheeler critics in. the case of wire-tapping, in the Detroit Spanish Loyalist case violations of civil rights, and similar cases. It is a serious issue. It far transcends the personal-

ity of Mr. Hoover. * 2

” He's Sincere, but—

To the father who wrote the constitutional Bill of Rights, to the Congress which wrote the civil liberty statutes, and to the Supreme. Court which has so vigorously upheld them, these rights are the basis of democracy and the chief barrier. against dictatorship. : . : It is the right of Mr. Hoover as a citizen to disagree with those basic laws. It is not ‘his right to violate them. And certainly it is not his right as a law-enforcement officer by his example to undermine the law he is paid and sworn fo uphold. : Doubtless Mr. Hoover is sincere in insisting that he believes in the civil liberty laws and that he never

between World Series cities. In his pocketbook he carries a pass to every league ball park in America. Of course the Yankees are Al's pride and joy. But he can’t be partial. He must report at both parks every morning, or the neglected team will be mad. Albert F. Lang was born in Pittsburgh. “He came from there to here because he was dying. Starting in business for yourself at 15, and running it into a fortune by the time youre 30, is enough to kill any man. Al Lang, under doctor’s orders, sold his Pittsburgh laundry in 1911 and came south. He came to St. Petersburg when it was a village of 2500 people. Within three days he bought a house, and began beating the drums for St. Petersburg. He has been at it ever since. : 3 He was mayor from 1917 to 1921. During that time, he personally met every train that came in, and greeted the visitors. : He sounds like a big, gabby civic back-slapper, doesn’t he? Well, he’s just the opposite. I've talked with him two days, and I've never seen him smile once. There are smiles inside him, but they don’t

show on his mouth. * td

Both Like Children

He thinks his wife is the most wonderful person that ever lived. other,” he says. He always refers to her as “My Girl.” They have no children, but wish they had a dozen. They have put many through school. Not long after the ball teams leave for the North, the Langs pack up and drive north too. They base at the farm home of a nephew in New Jersey. And Al goes to the ball games all summer. He has even made foreign trips with the teams, and knows Europe well. _ Only once did he ever get upset enough to think of quitting. A few years ago he got in a dark mood over some criticism, and decided he would ‘resign. So he butted into the monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and, with considerable emotion, resigned. 7 One member stood up and said, “I propose we accept his resignation. Effective in 1955.” It was accepted—for 1955. The chairman said, “Go away, Al! Can't you see we're busy?”

violates them. But in our governmental system of checks and balances, it is proper and essential that his administrative superiors, and Congress, and the courts see that the FBI in this crisis does not operate as a law violator as it did during and after the last war. The legal limits of Mr. Hoover's duty are clear. It is his job by legal methods to detect and bring to trial those who break laws under his jurisdiction. But it is not his job to investigate, intimidate, or persecute holders of unpopular opinions who obey the law. Perhaps it is a fatal weakness of our: Government that it guarantees civil liberties, which Nazis, Fascists and Communists take advantage of. Hitler and Stalin think so. And so do many members of the D. A. R. which applauded Mr. Hoover's speech. s 2 2 8

Cannot Escape Criticism

But whether our old-fashioned Bill of Rights tends to preserve or destroy the nation in this time of Nazi and Communist Trojan horse treachery is not for Mr. Hoover or the D. A. R. to dictate. They will have to leave it to Congress and the Supreme Court to make and interpret the laws under the Constitution. . Mr. Hoover, being human, naturally resents personal attacks that have been made upon him—many of them unfair. It is true that foreign agents and their dupes on one side, and ordinary criminals on the other. hate him for his efficiency and 4ry to smear him. That is the fate of many important public servants. They are honored by such enemies they make. But Mr. Hoover is quite able to distinguish between the law-breakers who are trying to get him, and the law-makers who will certainly get him if his FBI reverts to the terrorist organization it used to be. : Mr. Hoover cahnot escape democratic criticism by calling it subversive. If he attempts to confuse critics with crooks and traitors, he will not commend to the public his intelligence or fitness for his job. The citizen's right to criticize secret police is still legal in the United States, though civil liberty is dead in most of the world.

Washington

WASHINGTON, April 20.—Mr. Roosevelt has left for 10 days of very much needed recuperation at Warm Springs. He appears to be a tired man, as if his recent illness had pulled down his resistance. His color is not as good as it was and he lacks some of the : old fire. None of this is surprising, as the President never has carried a heavier burden than today. ~~ Yet he has given no sign he is preparing to step out. He left with his third term secret still locked up. Party leaders can only guess at his intentions. Secretary Ickes believes that the President will be compelled to run again. Postmaster General Farley believes Mr. Roosevelt will not run. The President is offering no resistance to third term work. It had been expected that the air would be cleared during the luncheon conference this week between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Farley. However, nothing developed. Mr. Farley's situation now is as follows: - He is Democratic National Chairman, has managed Mr. Roosevelt's two Presidential campaigns, is now a candidate himself, and must make arrangements for the national convention which meets at Chicago in less than three months. Yet he is without assurance as to what the President intends to do. He is left to stand on his previous belief that Mr. Roosevelt will not be a candidate and to hope that this'is correct. 2 2 ”

Is Farley Weakening? °°

While Chairman Farley has strong convictions against a third term, his desire is to avoid any action that might cause dissension, believing that the important thing now is to keep the party together. It is doubtful therefore if he can be regarded as a

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday.—I had a delightful lunch yesterday with the ladies of the 75th Congress. They had asked me to tell them a little about today’s situation in the campaignicarried on by the United States Department of Public Health, in conjunction with the state health departments, in its effort to stamp out venereal diseases. ;

The appropriation granted by Congress is two million dollars greater than last year, but even with that increase the facilities for treatment are still inadequate and there is not sufficient educational work ‘done among . doctors, nurses and the general public. amination before marriage in certain states have greatly helped . the situation and the whole picture already looks far better than it did two years ‘ago. But that does not mean that the fight is won and that we can let up in our activities until there is a real victory. - In the afternoon I saw a speech tewcher who is particularly interested in the girls of the Y. W. C. A. She believes that she can tell a great deal about a on’s make-up from the voice and she proceeded to ‘tell me that I was extremely nervous and excitable. This shows, I am afraid; that my voice is not well co-

“stop-Roosevelt man” since the futility of any opposition to the President's renomination now is obvious. That does not mean that Mr. Farley favors a third term but it may mean that he will not go through with his earlier intention of pressing his name before the convention regardless of whether Mr. Roosevelt 1s In. The renomination of the President probably can be accomplished with less vocal opposition than seemed likely a few -weeks ago. Resistance has lerumbled until almost none is left, aside from that of Vice President Garner, whose stock was never lower. Thus the way is clear for a smooth initial triumph if Mr. Roosevelt wishes to take the crown. ” 2 ”

Tradition Greatest Check

The reasons why he should not run are as strong as ever, and are not weakened in any sense by the fact that the Democratic Party politicians are now prostrate before him, ready to do his bidding. In fact this scooting to cover by the organization, this readiness ng scruples against a third term in order to play safe and not be caught on the wrong side, is in itself ‘one of the very strongest reasons against a third term. The occupant of the White House has enormous power which makes. him more than a match for other individuals and the check upon that power has been the self-restraining tradition by which Presidents have limited themselves to two terms. If Mr. Roosevelt should ignore this check and choose to run, he would not only make deeper the cleavage which has divided the country during recent years but he would be transferring to the voters as a whole the responsibility of enforcing the tradition against prolongation of tenure. That issue would obscure other questions and the country would be torn in a hysterical fight to test whether in our democracy power can be held indefinitely. I don’t believe Mr. Roosevelt will force that issue by running again.

ordinated with the rest of my body and character, for I think that everyone around me will bear witness to the fact that I am neither excitable nor nervous!

Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde brought a group of girls here in the afternoon from Monticello College. She is introducing them to the beauties of Washington and the intricacies of their Government. Later, the annual party for the senior classes of various schools in Washington took place and I received 1175 young people with their teachers. From 5 to 6, the heads of the state societies in Washington met with the officers of the Alliance for the Guidance of Rural Youth in the East Room to discuss whether their societies could be helpful to young people in rural districts at home and in the cities when they looked for work. I took the plane for New York City at 6:30 and reached the dinner given at the Hotel Astor by the recovery board of the cloak and suit industry to celebrate the distribution of the fund raised in the industry for work among the refugees, regardless of race or creed. This was a most inspiring dinner, not only because of the excellent speakers, Governor Lehman and Bishop Sheil among others, with the always able chairman, Mr. James MacDonald presiding, but because this is the first instance where industry has taxed itself voluntarily to help suffering humanity. I returned on the midnight train to find the gentle spring rain falling and many routine: things to be done this morning,

REFORMS ASKED IN BEECH GROVE

Civic League Proposes Street, Light, Police and Fire Improvements.

A 25-point plan for betterment of the North and West Sides of Beech Grove has been drawn up by the Beech Grove Civic League. The plan calls for investigation of police, fire and street departments, a check-up on track elevation promises, development of the City Park there and sewage and street repairs. 3 One proposal is for study of the present Beech Grove budget to determine. whether the North and West Sides are receiving adequate return for their budget payments.

Plan Street Regrading

Other proposals are for straightening and. grading of certain streets, cleaning and covering of ditches, more adequate garbage collections, better bus and mail serv-

ice, construction of playgrounds and removal of certain traffic hazards. The police department provision in the program is designed to determine if the policemen are properly trained and if they are receiving sufficient wages. The same information is to be sought concerning the fire department and the street commissioners. The track elevation in which the league is interested is that proposed for the crossing of Raymond St. and the New York Central Rail-

road. & Want More Lights

weekly garbage collections in the summer and bi-monthly collections in the winter, with ash collections

every two weeks in the winter and monthly in summer. It asks that the jog in 18th St.

at Albany St. be straightened; that the stop-and-go light at Churchman Ave., Albany St. and, Sherman Drive be investigated as a traffic hazard, and that the North and West Sides be given more street lights.

The plan also suggests the con- |

struction. of cinder paths along Churchman Ave. and Albany St. for the safety of school children.

The program was introduced by |

Roy Swartz, board of directors chairman. The League voted: unanimously to adopt and support the plan. Ss Commitiees Named

FROM OSLO TO Armageddon seems a shorter step today than yesterday. The clash of arming nations rises in crescendo from the Low Countries to the Alps, from Istanbul to Rome.

Winston Churchill says the Allies already have enough battleships in the Mediterranean.” They may. soon have more. For they have whittled down German naval strength. They may soon be indisputably in command of the northern seas.

Spain's General Franco might waylay British naval reinforcements at Gibraltar—if Franco feels like another war. It is known that Spain has taken some military measures.

PROBLEM POSED AT DELCO REMY

‘Neither’ Vote Highest in NLRB Poll; None Had Majority.

WASHINGTON, April 20 (U. P.), —Results. of a collective bargaining election at the Anderson, Ind, Delco-Remy division of General Motors Corp. posed new run-off election problems today for a Nae tional Labor Relations Board al ready split three ways on the ques= tion. : ! Anderson workers voted 2774 for

no union representation, 2454 for the C. I. O. faction of the United Automobile Workers Union and 688 for the U. A. W.-A. F. of L. There was no majority sentiment. NLRB Chairman J. Warren Mad den and Edwin S. Smith have ruled previously that they would order & run-off election only at the request of the high union, but, in this case, the “neither” vote was high, and this group presufably would not desire another election. : . Member William M. Leiserson contends that the NLRB does not ‘have authority to order run-off But, accepting a majority ruling that the Board does, he has joined with Mr. Smith in adopting a new run-off policy in which the “neither” choice was dropped from the sece ond ballot. Mr. Madden argued in a recent dissent that the new run-off policy advocated by Mr. Leiserson and Mr, Smith carried to its logical conclue sion would mean that the “neither” vote, largest at Anderson, would ba left off the ballot, and the effect would be “to disfranchise all those employees whose point of view received the highest number of votes in the first election.” - It could not be learned definitely . whether the Board would grant & run-off request at Anderson.
