FARLEY RELEASES
William Burke, Massachusetts
Democratic state chairman, has con
fided to friends that he received a
personal letter from Farley con
taining authority to release the del
egation "if the President's name is
presented to the convention." Since
this is certain to happen. Jim's let
ter means he will not fight a third
term nomination.
Burke's friends attribute Jim's
letter to the sweeping change in pub
lic sentiment since the catastrophic
war developments. Hitler's blitz
krieg through the hapless lowlands
IN THE midst of the recent Good-
* all round-robin struggle for mas
tery among 15 of the world's best
golfers we began thinking again of
' the part that the mental side or
mental attitude plays in this baffling
game of golf.
The 15 contestants in this tourney
were all fine golfers on the physical
side. Most of them can hit the ball
a long, long way and keep it
straight, most of them are tine iron
players, keen pitchers, and at least
a few are consistent putters. The
main answer is one's mental atti
tude for the day or for the tourna
ment—his ability to concentrate
along the right lines.
This, of course, is an old story.
But how does one locate this phan-
I tom will-o'-the-wisp?
I had been watching Jimmy Dem-
aret, winner of seven big tourna
ments, one of the main favorites at
Fresh Meadow. I had seen him
An airview of Paris, the capital of France, which was first thought Io be the objective of the Nasi “Bllts-
smile and laugh and appear care
kriegers," who swept over the low countries and crossed the French border. When the Germans were within
free coming up to the ball—then sud-
■ denly focus perfectly on the next 60 miles of the capital they changed their drive and headed for the channel ports but later German bomber«

Whether his retirement from the

is unknown.

SUPERIORITY IN TANKS
The fighting which took place in
Flanders probably was the most
desperate in the history of the!
world, even bloodier than the Bat
tles of the Marne and Verdun. ;
Corpses were piled house high. The ,
trapped French and British made i
the Germans pay in floods of blood
for every foot they advanced. They
knew that most of them had no
chance of escaping, but their ob
jective was to weaken the Germans,
give time to General Weygand to
strengthen the defenses of Paris.
The key to this war (and also to
American defense) is to remember ,
that khaki does not stop machine-1
gun bullets, while tanks do. Also
that it is impossible to whip an en
emy whose airplanes can spy out
every move and blast that move
even before it gets started.
The air and tank preponderance of }
the Nazis is the crux of their sue- '
cesses.

NAZIS IN SOUTH AMERICA
The problem of protecting the
Monroe Doctrine has undergone in
tensive nights of study of late around
the state, war and navy depart
ments. Nobody is exactly predict
ing that Hitler will invade South
America this year, but nobody ex
pected him to invade Norway eith- i
er. And the British, one year ago. ,
didn’t expect to be invaded at all,
and did not very well prepare for it
So U. S. strategists, not knowing
what Hitler, in the full flush of vic
tory. might do, are endeavoring to
be prepared.
On the maps of South America
hung in government offices these j
days are two danger spots. One isI
Brazil, the other Uruguay. Other
spots are bad, but these two have
the largest number of Nazi sympa
thizers and fifth column plotters
Uruguay is simply honeycombed
with Nazi agents. There are also
strong German colonies in southern
Brazil, and even in Buenos Aires.
In Argentina, the older army of
ficers are strongly pro-German, hav
ing been trained by a German of
ficer. In Brazil, the younger army
officers are pro-Nazi.
Particularly worrisome is the fate
of these countries with Italy in the
war. There are at least 2,000,000
Italians in Argentina—or about one-
fifth of the population. Also there
are large Italian colonies in Uru
guay and Brazil.
i Chief undercover strategy of these
racial groups is to overthrow
the present governments in South
America, in favor of puppet govern
ments friendly to the Nazi-Fascist
cause. Then these puppet govern
ments could renounce the Monroe
Doctrine and invite Hitler to the
Western hemisphere.
Note—New aviation aids, enlarg
ing of airports, training of pilots,
and even the co-operation of the
U. S. fleet in using Brazilian har
bors are now under discussion to
bolster the present pro-allied gov
ernments of South America.

WAR CHAFF
Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma
says: "The people of my state are
probably ahead of the President in
his attitude toward Europe."
Dorothy Thompson says the best
key to Italian war sentiment was
given her by an Italian in Milan,
who said: "Curse the English, who
drove us into the arms of those
swine, the Germans!”
U. S. diplomatic reports from Rus
sia describe a bad food shortage
there.
The British Lion Roars Its Defiance at Sea
"I drew a fine break in the art of
concentration when I was a young
kid.” Demaret said. "There were
nine in our family. There was al
ways a turmoil around. I had to
learn how to study and concentrate
with a football game or some other
game going on all around me. There
was always a din and a racket I
had to force myself to think of what
I was reading or working over in
spite of these outside distractions.
“So I had to develop the habit of
quick concentration from an early
age, when all lasting habits are usu
ally formed—1 mean the ones that
usually stick with you.
“Here's a funny angle. I am sup
posed to be free from any nervous
trouble. Yet I am one of the most
nervous men you ever knew. I mean
until a tournament starts. I’m ever
nervous in practice. But when the
tournament gets under way I turn
back to my kid days, forget every
thing else, all the outside distrac
tions. I think of only one shot at a
time and I think of a round after
the fashion of one shot at a time.”

Strange Facts
IT hat to Think About
"Bobby Jones once told me," I
said to Demaret, "that he thought of
at least three things before playing
any shot”
"What were they?” Jimmy asked.
“First the pace of his backswing
to be sure it wasn’t hurried. Next,
the full body or the needed body
turn, and, lest, cocking his left
wrist at the top of the swing.”
“I also think of about three things
before playing a shot,” the Texan
said. “First, 1 want to be sure I
have a firm, comfortable and cor
rect grip. Next, 1 want to feel that
I have an easy, comfortable stance.
Last. I also want to be sure I don’t
hurry my backswing and that 1 also
take the needed amount of body
turn.
“Golf.” Demaret said, "is a game
you play largely with your bands,
wrists and forearms. They swing
the clubhead. The body should work
together with the hands, but in most
cases the body works against the
hands. The average golfer lets the
shoulders and body, or maybe the
feet and legs, tie up the hands.
“Now, the average golfer has a
hard time concentrating because he
tries to think of too many things.
It can't be done. He merely gets a
blurred picture of what he is trying
to accomplish. I believe in making
golf as simple as possible."
"What should the average golfer
try to think about?” I asked.

Let Yourself Go
“Watch any of these 15 players
in this field. They all give you the
Impression they are using their
hands more than anything else. And
they are. They are not thinking about
half as many things to do as the
average golfer does. Never mind
too many details. They just tie you
up. Keep as relaxed as you can.
When you begin to tighten up, step
away, and take your stance again.
And don't think of anything but the
swing itself, of using the hands in
the proper manner.

Comfort and Ease
"He or she should try to think
first in terms of being comfortable
and easy, and not to get all tight
ened up. After this, he should think
about letting the hands and fore
arms swing the clubhead. He
shouldn’t start locking his feet and
legs, or stiffening his body.
He
should have a picture of hands, of
live hands, taking that clubhead
back as smoothly as possible, letting
his body turn naturally, and from
the top of the swing he should be
in no hurry to start any down-swing
speed. That’s where so much trou
ble comes from—hustling or hurry
ing the downswing, which will usu
ally take care of itself if you just
learn to leave it alone.
“Golf isn't a left-handed game nor
a right-handed game. It is a game
in which both hands swing the club
head. It isn’t nearly as difficult as
most players make it, if they would
only think of the few necessary
things one must do.
