V Reverse Play in Presidential Game
Thirty years ago when football was just emerging from
'it pure beef and brawn era there were people who thought
that "trick plays'V were not exactly sporting. They feared
such tactics would teach young Americans to be tricky and
deceptive in adult life. That notion died out. . .
i - But a good many Americans still have a conviction tnat
"trick plays" are not cricket, when it comes to politics; espe
cially the biggest political game, of all, the ; contest for the
presidency. They feel that the players and the spectators
should always know who is carrying the ball.
When Norman Thomas, who is trying to carry the ball
but knows he can't make a. first down, visited Oregon the oth
er day he mentioned reports that if Franklin Roosevelt is re
elected he will presently resign and turn the job over to Hen
ry Wallace. There is a rather widespread opinion that what
Norman Thomas says, he believes except that due allowance
must be made for his point of view, which most people con
sider erroneous. I ' .
Thomas is, however nominally, an opponent or resi
dent Roosevelt. If Thomas says Roosevelt will pull a re
verse" and pretend to carry the ball across the goal line, only
to let Wallace sneak through where the opposition isn t and
touch it down, that is merely argument from the opposition.
The same would be true if the rumor came from the republi
can camp. , , .
But the story is being heard from other sources, and not
from opposition sources. Most recently it has been traced to
W. M. Thatcher, a high official of the Farmers Union who is
sutroosed to have the inside track to the White House and the
inside stuff on what goes on there. It is revealed that mat
cher, expressed in a bulletin to Farmers Union officials, a
''positive"-belief that Roosevelt will resign soon after elec
tion if the war situation permits.
Describing an interview with the president, Thatcher
wrote:
"He seriously discussed, at great length, how Mr. Wallace
was chosen for vice-president through a process of elimination
i and. In all of that analysis, it was evident to me that he is deep
ly conscious that he may not lire or it may be necessary for him
to resign if he is re-elected. ...
"I am positlTe that if he is re-elected and the war situation
gives him an opportunity to get out, he will resign. I make this
statement because he emphasised the qualities of Henry Wallace
as one who ls-a thorough New Dealer, who has unquestioned in
tegrity, fidelity to the common people of this country and the
cause of democracy, and who also has one of the best minds and
the clearest concepts of world problems of any in this group."
That apparently, for what it is worth, is the basis for
.the current rumors of a "reverse" play. It may be what is in
the president's mind ; on the other hand it may be propaganda
intended only for the ears of the small group of citizens who
would like to have Wallace in the White House rather than
Roosevelt.
Most anyone would agree that without Roosevelt out
ahead as a decoy, Wallace could never buck the line for a
touchdown. But practically speaking, the ethics of the situa-
tion may not be clear to everyone. Some of the Roosevelt
backers consider it wholly ethical to throw tomatoes at his
opponent. They, of course, would not object to a trick play.
' Others would call it plain dishonesty.
M The Battle of Dakar
V Something is admittedly rotten in French Equatorial
Africa, and to date the war communiques of Vichy, de Gaulle, j
the French general involved, and the British themselves have
served only to make the confusion worse confounded.
1 The first link in the present chain of events was appar
ently the passage of six French cruisers and heavy destroy
er through the straits of Gibraltar without drawing so much
as an overripe tomato from the British fortress on the sum
mit of UhS "Rock." This was, in view of the naval engagement
at Oran late in June, surprising to say the least. But it was
i only the prelude to stranger things to come.
C Those thines came last Monday. The Vichy wireless,
somewhat breathlessly, reported a large British naval squad
ron as standing offshore' and pumping shells over French na
val vessels in the harbor and into the town, where the na
tives pigs seemed to be having the most trouble with them,
s,, Vichy also said that six different efforts were made by the
British to land troops to take the city, but that French Sen
egalese soldiers had forced them back- to their fleet. De
Gaulle, leader of the Free Frenchmen in Britain, was said to
wits uixixiiaiiviCiT viiu yx airc ahviya v.
Since the first outbreak, the British have continued their
attack, and the French have retaliated by sending French
planes to give Gibraltar a bad hour or two with air bombs,
and by turning loose a flood of adjectives on their former
allies and brothers in arms.
These are the events themselves, but what is behind them
is still hidden. The British, in a rather Tame statement Tues
day, claimed that the Germans, in French clothing, were try
ing to set up a base for penetration into South America at
Dakar, which is, actually, the closest old world port to the
new world. De Gaulle has produced nothing that hasn't ap
peared in Free Frenchman press clippings about opposing
Hitlerism; and Vichy can do nothing but scream.
The only plausible explanation which appears offhand
is that the British had some deal with the French with re
apect to the six vessels which slid past Gibraltar. Perhaps that
didn't pan out, or not as was expected, with the result that
the British decided to take over the ships and the base with
them. Where De Gaulle comes in is still unclear, unless he was
brought along for propaganda purposes for lise with the
French at Dakar. One can be pretty certain, however, that
no French general is actually' giving orders to a British battle
squadron; despite his communiques
The question is not one to be decided in words. Either
British or French victory will result from the current hostili
ties, with consequences which will not be very clear for some
time to come. In the meantime one can observe without much
' sense of novelty the spectacle of another corner of the world
going up in flame. : - - j
-"The Majority Is Always Right?
Consider the case of Thomas J. Buckley. He paid his f il
' - ing fee and was duly entered in the Massachusetts democra
tic primary as a candidate for state auditor. That was-the
last heard of Mr. Buckley until after the votes were counted.
He won the nomination by a huge plurality. f
Thereupon it became the duty of democratic party off i
' cials to get in touch with their nominee. None of them knew
him, and it was only with difficulty that they ascertained
that there actually was such a person. At latest report they
had not yet interviewed him ; the report was that he had gone
away to the seashore to "rest up after the rigors of the cam
. paign." - - - ; - i , - I : -., ...
Then ciune the further meager information that he was

- "At' no time had military ope

panies had immediately 'reform

trains) and settlements. In the
latter part of February (1856),
about the time of the uprising on
the coast (Curry county' coast),
the Indiana had appeared in the
Illinois valley (present Josephine
county), killing two men and
wounding three others, and soon
after shot a citlien names Guess,
who was plowing in a ' field on
Deer creek, his wife and two
children being domiciled in the
house of Br. White, some distance
away.
.
"It was already night when
the news of the killing of Guess
was brought to Captain O'Neal
(Hugh O Neal of the Oregon ml-
litis.) who, with a detachment
of his company was scouting in
the Ticinity; but he set out im
mediately to recorer the body
of the murdered man, and eoarey
it to his family. A description of
that night's ride, and the duty
performed by Capt. O'Neal and
his company, dramatically Illus
trates the lires and characters
of the Oregon rolunteers (sol
diers). "It. Is here condensed from the
pen of J. M. Sutton, himself a
rolunteer (and, this columnist
thinks, newspaper man), who llr-
ed to write of those troublous
times, but who as long since
passed orer to the silent ma
jority:
"The trail led through a for
est which intensified the dark
ness. Philip Wearer, who lired
in the Ticinity. acted as guide,
and was careful to report erery
place where an ambush might be
feared, when the captain would
ride forward and through the
pass with two or three men be
fore allowing the remainder to
adrance. Arriving at the most
dangerous crossing of a deep ra
vine, Capt. O'Neal directed Ser
geant Stannis to take four men
and go down the gulch to a
lower trail, while Corporal Geddes
went abore to another crossing,
when he would more on by the
main trail, and all would meet
on the other side, thus giving an
opportunity for some to escape,
or to rescue others in case of an
attack. I
"When we had reached halt
way to the bottom of the ravine
the horses gave unmistakable
signs of smelling' Indians, and
the Captain, in a low voice, gave
the order to trot briskly forward.
They were met at the bottom by
a volley of rifle shots. Putting
their horses to the top of their
speed, the company made a dash
for the opposite side in the dark
ness and gained the bank, the In
dians shouting and yelling. As
soon as the rolunteers were out
of the ambush they returned
shots and yells. Leaving their
horses in car of a guard, they
poured a brisk fire into the
thicket where the Indians were
stationed, but without being able
to take aim at anything. How
ever, in a short time the Indians
stopped firing and war heard
retreating up the opposite side
of the ravine; and the darkness
not permitting a pursuit, the
company, which had sustained no
injury, pursued its way to the
house of Dr. White, where two
men, neighbors, were found sta
tioned midway between the house
and the horse corral, guarding
both, while Mrs. Guess, not know
ing what was going on outside,
sat waiting for her husband,
ignorant of though fearing the
cause of his absence so tar in
the night.
-. H
"The volunteers placed their
horses, ready to mount, under
guard, and set out to loos:, or to
feel In the darkness for the body
of the murdered man, under the
guidance of Mr. Wearer. As they
neared the field they heard the
oxen with which Guess had been
plowing' still hitched to the
plow running and surging
around the field in great terror.
The captain divided his - men.
ending one squad' to. the left
hand side of the field, with or

So began a new life tor Judith
as it began for Tex and Sonia.
That first night she saw Michael
after Tex had got his divorce, he
pleaded his cause.
"Glv m time, Michael," she
begged. "I care more about yon
than any other friend in the
world. Yet I guess I'm a one
man woman."
"But you don't lor him any
more," Michael persisted.
"No, not the way you mean.
But I married him. Nothing can
alter that . . . nothing!"
Michael did not give up hope.
He was patient with her. That
summer was on of the happiest
Judith had erer known. Fre
quently she and Michael drove
out into the country to din. On
weekends they swam at th Tan
Mathas home.
As for Judith's job, she lored
It. So pleased was D Franc with
his newest saleswoman, that h
promised in another year to tak
through th breast.
"While the body was being pre
pared for burial. Wearer, who
had called en Mrs. Guess.eame into
the room and said she had asked
it her husband waa dead; but
that he had eraded th question,
as ha would not tell her. NO
ONE COULD BE FOUND to per
form the painful office, and it
devolved upon ' Captain O'Neal,
as ALL WHO1 KNEW HIM WILL
RECOLLECT, was no coward;
yet he shrunk from this. But time
was pressing and he must per
form th sad duty. How It was
performed Is not known, but that
he told her the terrible truth
was soon evident from the an
guished cries of the widowed wife
and fatherless children; sounds
deeply painful to all who stood
around th lifeless body on that
February morning."

That was well written by Mr.
Sutton. Mrs. Victor added: "Such
were the duties In which rolun
teers were month after month
engaged, their time being divided
between skirmishing with the
enemy, protecting property, res
cuing, it possible, those in peril,
burying th victims of . sarage
hate, and removing their helpless
families - to . places ot safety. If
they lacked the discipline ot mer

Judith saw Hugh Lansing fre
quently. He, Michael, and sh
often had dinner together. Even
in the summer heat, J n d 1 1 h
bloomed like a proverbial rose.
Michael, watching her closely,
felt hopeful. He loved her enough
to be patient. And sometimes
Judith admitted to herself that
Michael was becoming more and
more necessary to her. Most ot
the time she took him for grant
ed. He waa always there to listen
to her problems and suggest so
lutions. One day early in August, Sonia
and Tex earn to New York. They
dropped in out ot th aky with
out warning in a new racing ship
Tex was testing for the trans
continental race in September.
Judith shook her head. Read
ing the interviews with Tex and
Sonia, Judith could not beller
that just a year ago sh had been
happy, that this man had been
her husband. Now they were
poles apart. But
She read of Tex's new trophy
ship -with alarm. H shouldn't
try it again. Sonia should stop
him!
A great sense of foreboding
took possession of her. She could
not shake It off. She felt sh
ought to warn Tex. Sh had to
see him! But that, sh told her
self, would be silly, if not worse.
Tex and Sonia had been in
town a week. Judith had a date
for dinner one night with Hugh
and . Michael in t h I r favorite
llttl chop hous on 48th street.
Sh wore a sheer blaek frock,
rery smart. One of the "mark
downs" ot De Franc's. She wore
a small black hat, the sheerest of
hose. Nerer had she looked lord
lier, more genuinely alluring.
When Judith entered th res
taurant, th head waiter said,
"Mr. Dudley's waiting, Mrs.
Aimes." Judith caught a glimpse
of Dudley orer at their farorit
corner table. Hugh Lannlng earn
in directly after Judith. It waa
not until she and Hugh were
close to Dudley's table, that Ju
dith noticed Dudley's two guests.
Her steps faltered. Just one
glimpse of that blond head and
she knew: Sonia with Text
"I can't, Hugh."
"Chin up, here we go!"
There was nothing else to do.
Dudley bad seen Judith, and had
stood up. So did Tex who saluted
smilingly with. "Hello, Judith.

we'll stay and talk a while.
Judith sat down next to Dud
ley. Her throat was dry and her
hands icy cold. Sonia, Hugh and
Tex were keeping up a rapid-fir
conrersation, "Sonny" laughing
a rood deal. Sh was prettier than
ever. Th crack-up had not
marred her beauty, though there
was a tiny scar near her Up, Ilk
a kitten's scratch. It lent piqu
ancy to her lovely face.
Tex eyed Judith openly: "No
need to ask how you are. Tou'r
blooming! Snappier than ever!"
"Isn't shf!" Sonia chimed in.
"Nothing but romane could do
that for yon, Judith!
.Tex s m i 1 d indulgently at
Sonia, and shook his head. "Now,
now, 'Sonny don't b too per

"I'm not!" pouted the blond.
"Well, lets talk about Hying. Ju
dith, I'd lor to try th trophy

"Yon mean tha judges did.
They don't want women in it!"
Then Tex switched the conrer
sation back to Judith with,
"How's th Job?"
"I like it a lot."
"How's your mother and dad?"
"Fin. , I'm going out to De

Mother and dad! That brought
thoughts of their last Christmas.
But Tex seemed to find no em

Neither did 8onia. In fact, sh

His interest aroused. Wood
talked among business colleagues
and soon discovered German com
mercial agents had approached
many outstanding manufacturers
with similar, lists exhibiting an
Intimate knowledge, of their per
sonal interests.
The lists are now in the
waste baskets or the FBI file.
All seams and cracks in th
republican household hare now
been mended. A eomplet policy
agreement has been effected in
between both ends .of th ticket.
Wlllkl' cheap - power speech in
McNary'a horn state of Oregon
poured th last cement into that
flsaur. ' - .
. Th satisfactory working ar
rangement that has now. been

foray into th farm belt to sell
hi kind of a farm program. Mc
Nary will also carry th WlUkl
torch into New England and fin
ally to th Pacific coast Just
bef or election day. Th repub
lican campaign is getting stream
lined. Watch for the young repub
lican senator, Henry Cabot
Lodge, to join the WlHkle
campaign train. It wfil be more
than m social erent. Lodge will
act as d via Ing emissary from
the republican bloc in congress
which waa none too pleased in
the beginning with the inter
nationalist ton of the Willkie
foreign policy.,
'Th inconsequential puxxU
which ClO's John Lewis has been
able to make of his 1 personal

meeting was held but Mr. Lewis
did not even send np an eyebrow

Norris office denied Lewis was
Invited. Th Lewis office smiled
and said only that Unci John

Forecast reorganisation In th

agent about the apple disease.
Even the on tree In your lawn
will not be too small an amount
for him to bother with, as you
suggest. You will find county
agents quite obliging, although
they are rery busy people. There
is a spray , program for apples
which it would be well for you
to follow. I noticed that the
state college was suggesting that
all decayed fruit which has fallen
from the trees should be picked
up at once and burled three or
four felt deep. The spores from
the rot disease will live over In
th ground and yon will have
the same trouble again next year.
Everyone should spray his fruit
trees, even if they have but on
tree. In fact, wa ar at th point
wher we will hare to follow a
rery strenuous spray program
throughout th garden. W
should hav been doing it for
aom years.
