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« J stroke.

Whether his retirement from the nomination race means that Jim is ready to manage another campaign 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.” (AO YOU need u screen to keep drafts from a child's bed?

Name ................................ ••••••••• Address ......................................................... • 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.

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. Î 2 PPINTJ OCt FdOM EACH good / 1 NEGATIVE L J 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.
