CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 5—Most of you have seen bronc-riding or calf-roping in some form or other. But at Cheyenne’s “Frontier Days” rodeo they have something which few of us have ever seen, and which to mye is the greater part of the show. That is a wildhorse race. Tt is always the last event on the day's program, and it keeps the crowd in its seats until the very last second of the show. I've never seen a melee like the start of this wild-horse race. Ill try to describe it to you. The horses have just been rounded up Off the range. They've never been ridden, nor even had a halter on them. They Te brought across the big infield to the home stretch of the racetrack, right in front of the grandstand. Fach horse is haltered, and is being jerked. skidded or dragged along hy its halter-rope, which is tied to the saddle-horn of a horseman leading him. lv a halter rope cant stand the strain, snaps in two, and the wild horse is free. Then begins a mad chasing all over, with cowboys trying to rope him from zll directions. Gradually the Lome stretch becomes thicker and thicker with frightened horses and lunging men. Counting helpers and their mounts, there are around 50 horses and 100 men in the little area in front of the grandstard.

Boy, What Bacitement—

They are given about 10 minutes before the starting gun in which to get their horses quieted down a little. Apparently this is only a theory, for it’s about the wildest 10 minutes you ever saw. Horses are rearing, pawing, kicking, snorting and Tunging In every direction. Men in overalls are hanging onto their ears or embracing their wecks, trying in i them down. The panicky horses some-

rable at all to the little temperaaround that regular race horses do rier falls. This stuff is wild and own on their backs. Men are down Ten are swinging through the air like I nging onto horses’ heads. Horses plunge blindly through fences. Wild-eyed horses are running everywhere, and men are sweating and cussing and

WILLIAM J. (CURLY) ASH, the well known pubTicist, is back from a vacation at Pentwater., Mich. with some tall tales of His own angling prowess. Curly, as we get it, went fishing for the first tive in his life, accompanied by Joe Cripe of the Convention Bureau. Those fish just wouldnt leave Curley's hook alowe. The fist time he dropped it in, a two-pounid bass hit it and scared him badly. Mr. Cripe nearly laughed his head off at Curley’s antics in trying to Tand the enraged bass. He did land it, though, and reloaded his hook with bait. Wham! Right off the bat a five-pound pike strirck. He really was scared th time—didnt know what to “Give him some line.~ yelled Mr. Cripe. Curly yanked line out by the handfuls, but fortunately the line didnt get tangled. At last. by continuing to Qo evervt ¢ wrong. he succeeded in landing it. Such is beginner ek

hitting hard against our windows. I could not help feeling sorry for the farmers, for it must have done much damage to their crops. Finally, a little after 1 o'clock, we found a place to turn off the road and managed to eat a picnic lunch in the car while the storm wore itself out. After that it rained very heavily until fairly late in the afternoon, but no more 3 hail came down. Bo When we stopped for gas, just before 7 o'clock, the friendly garage man said that their storm had been chiefly wind and rain. His wife came out of the station and asked if I was Mrs. Roosevelt, saying she had recognized me. but the girls there insisted I could not be myself!

Finally a Ligh is fired. That is the signal. While | one man holds each horse's head, the cowboy gets the, saddle on—or tries to. The timing starts from the pistol shot, and saddling is part of the race. Usually it doesn’t take lone, for the cowboys are keyed to a high pitch of angry determination by now. | The second the saddle is tightened, the cowboy leaps on. The holders turn the horse loose and start beating him with their hats. This both gets him started in the right direction and scares him so he starts running instead of standing and bucking. But if a horse at the rear of the melee happens to be one of the first saddled, then his rider has to plunge him through the whole writhing mess of horses and men that are still trying frantically to get ready to start. Its a Strange World Some of the horses throw their riders instantly. Some try to jump the fence. Some take out across the infield. Some wheel in fast circles. Some just stand and buck. Somve rear and jump and run blindly until they hit something and go down. I saw two wild horses plunge into each other and knock each other flat on their backs, while their cowboy riders went sailing through the air into the path of other plunging horses. Some of them turn and streak down the track in the wrong direction. You see, they have only halters| on them, not bridles. So there's no way for the cowboy to guide this raging animal which has never before been saddled or ridden. If you get your horse saddled, guided through the melee, and headed around the first turn, its largely Iwuck. They tell me that many a time the leader will be a quarter of a mile ahead, and come galloping down the home stretch all aglow with impending victory, and then suddenly his horse will stop within 10 feet of the finish line and start running back in the other direction. | A fourth of the riders never get started at all. Another fourth of the horses come roaring down the homve stretch With nobody on them-—the riders have been left strewn around the track. It's a great speetacle, one of the most exciting things I've ever seen. The winner of each day's race makes about 875. I think T'd rather crawl on my hands and knees from Cheyenne to Jordan, Mont. for $75 than to dive into that cauldron of hot horses’ hooves there at the frenzied starting line.

Axis in some Latin American countries But we are doing a great deal more in this field than has been generally known, especially by short wave radio. We are expanding our listening-post aetivities to obtain more complete information as to Axis radio propaganda in neutral countries. A more energetic attempt is being made now to meet this with counterpropaganda. The Axis has been effective in getting its story and its slant on events quickly to the ears of Latin America, Northern Africa and the near Fast. We can do a good deal of this ourselves. Much now depends upon which side has the more effective propaganda among the weak neutrals uncertain which way to jump.

Atlantic Balance Changed?

In these two Kinds of warfare—economic and propaganda—we are in up to the hilt. But I see no indication that we are nearer fighting war than we have been for several months. True the danger may

be increasing. Japan has advanced to more threat-

ening positions so that she has fewer moves left now before we should probably go into action. In the

Atlantic the danger could become acute overnight. [JH 0 napolis

For instance Portugal and Spain are be'ng closely watched. As the saying is, Hitler could take either one of them by telephone. If he did we might very likely feel compelled to move to new outposts further into the Atlantic. We would of course resist any attack upon leeland. Any repeated attacks on our shipping west of Teeland would provoke hostilities, although they might remain local.

There is increasing feeling that in the Atlantic the balance has changed. Some here believe Hitler has given up the Atlantic as a hopeless struggle and iS now bent upon entrenching himself on the three continents. So long as Hitler can be kept out of the Atlantic, there is no increased need for our active participation. But if the balance is turning, that is all the more reason for us to drive our production and shipment to the highest possible speed, so that willing hands on the front lines will be adequately equipped to press their advantage.

it would be worth waiting 15 minutes for a table. We decided that on a Sunday evening every

restaurant would be crowded, and finally we sat down |

to a very good dinner. The proprietor said he had never had so busy a summer. On Saturday they had 3000 people and they closed at 3 a. m. and opened again at 6 the next morning. He told me that, like many other places, they use college boys and girls to wait on table, but have a regular staff as well and are busy all through the winter. We did not intend to stop in Boston, but it seemed to be the only place where we could find accommodations, so we spent the night at the Statler Hotel. Providence sometimes is kind, for I found a message there to call one of my sons who has his orders and is off tomorrow for some time. If I had not come to Boston, I would have missed saying goodby. I have been hearing lately how much women pilots are doing in England. They ferry planes to places of safety when they are not in use, and fill in so that men can get some rest when duty is neither combat duty nor dangerous service. I wonder if, in this country, in the CAA courses or in the services, we have begun to train women so they may perform such duties. It would seem to be wise to give women pilots this opportunity, since we know they have been so useful in other countries.

Urehing Are Callous

THE BODIES were brought to the German airdrome of Kalaon the Athenian Riviera and laid out there, face down. The commanding personnel of

| the airfield, deeply moved by the

loss of their brother officers, stood at attention beside the row of bodies. But Greek urchins, who had been allowed to enter the field to sell refreshments, were callously Levantine in their attitude to-

| ward the German tragedy.

Choosing the critical moment of the silent salute of military respect, they howled in unison, at the top of their voices and fled as fast as their small brown legs could carry them. In the German accounts of the

| capture of Crete, important not | only for itself but as rehearsal for

invasion of England. mention of the glider attack—as contrasted with the parachuists—is conspicu= ously absent. This deliberate omission, it is held, may be because the slow= landing floaters proved relatively easy game for British ack-ack when landing in such defended places as the Malemi airfield. Towing the gliders also cut down the speed of the Junkers-52 which is the aerial truckhorse of the Luftwaffe.

» No Gliders in Russia

IN SOME MILITARY circles it is held that glider troops can be used to best advantage over wide stretches of undefended country, as reinforcements of positions already taken, but not in such short, sharp attacks as are the specialty of the German parachutists. Glider attacks have not been noticeable so far upon the Russ jan front, though the country is suitable for them. This either because the Ger-

U. A. W. ENJOYS ROWDY DEBATE

‘That Proves, Says Writer, - It’s Still a Real Union, Without Tuxedo.

By EDWIN A. LAHEY Copyright 1841, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Ine. BUFFALO, Aug. 5—The un=- | trammeled and not too polite de(bate of the United Automobile | Workers’ sixth annual convention probably will get really under way | today. | Bitter fraternal fights [pected to punctuate the whole convention, which will last for a (week or more, Like today's issue (of whether to seat 10 delegates [representing the Alis-Chalmers local of Milwaukee, the ostensible reason for these fights wiil be the ‘question of communism. | The real reason for them is that the auto workers are still a trade union, enjoying a rowdy They don’t even have an office in | Washington and there probably {isn’t a dinner jacket in the whole |executive board.

Want Vice Presidencies

It is difficult to trace the origin of factions in the Auto Workers’ | Union, because two of them might fall out over some hay bag, dress {up their feud in the trappings of political ideas, and all of the sudden you have rival caucuses. At present, however, there is a {strong group ied by Walter P.’ (Reuther and Richard T. Franken|steen, and carrying the blessing of | President R. J. Thomas, with views ‘on Communists amounting almos (to a complex. and they are carry(ing a fight into the convention to write into the union constitution ‘a prohibition against Communists (holding any elected .or appointed | flices. ! This group also proposed to cre- | late two new vice presidencies, | “with fixed administrative and or- | ganizational responsibilities.” The | candidates for these proposed néw | offices, it is presumed, would be Mr. Reuther and Mr. Frankensteen,

Two Strikes Are Issues

Another bitter fight will occupy the delegates if and when the Reu-ther-Frankensteen faction attempts | to run a candidate against George| P. Addes, secretary-treasurer of the union. While nobody accuses Mr. | Addes of being a Communist, he js the leader of the substantial group of executive board members who are tagged by the Reuther-Frankem-steen group as emotionally, if not actually, Communist. The two most sensational strikes of the past year have been U, A. W, jobs that gave the international officers a headache—Allis-Chalmers in Milwaukee and North American Aviation in Inglewood, Cal. The echoes of these strikes will furnish the discordant notes of the convention. The first of these fights will come today when the Reuther-Franken-steen faction, which controls the credentials committee, decides whether to give the delegates from the Allis-Chalmers local the brush0 . Win First Test

Yesterday Mr. Frankensteen was supported by a four-to-one show of hands when he asked that the seating of these delegates be dedeferred pending the hearing of further witnesses. The Allis-Chalmers local has been accused of Communist leadership since its 79-day strike last winter, for which it admitted the vote had been “irregular.” Still more fireworks will follow in the discussion of the North American strike which caused President Roosevelt to call out the troops. Lew Michener, regional director in California, who was charged with responsibility for this fiasco by Frankensteen, aviation director of the U. A. W,, has never faced the various charges made against him for this strike, so the convention debate will be, in effect, his trial. The argument of the ReutherFrankensteen group against the communists in the union office is contained in a “program for the union,” being circulated here, Their proposed constitutional amendment would bar Nazis and Fascists, as well as Communists, from office. “Members of the Communist, Fascist, and Nazi organizations owe their loyalty to a foreign government and as such are nothing more than colonial agents carrying out the program and advancing the interests of such foreign powers inside the trade union move-

ment,” the Reuther-Frankensteen program declares. i
