CASE KNOWN HERE
Br TAIX MALI.ON
(Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mallon.)
WASHINGTON, June . The trou
bl with diplomacy ll that it Is utter
ly humorless. Not enough comedians
are ambassadors.
Thla defect was
nearly rectified
recently when the
Justly famous
and well - liked
Jester. Eddie Cin
tor, 0 a 1 1 e d on
Mussolini, and,
by a chance re
mark, upset the
stiff relations of
two nations, cost
o n e commercial
attache his Job
and almost got
I' ll I M ALI O.N
an ambassador in
bad with the state department. It Is
a story which new dealers are tell
ing only in strictest confidence.
It seems that Cantor was at a loss
for something to talk about when
he had a special audience with the
Italian dictator. He wanted to say
something pleasant and internation
ally cordial, so he suggested In an
offhand way that It would be a
good Idea If Borne and Hollywood
could exchange movie stars.
Mr. Mussolini failed to accept the
suggestion In the offhand manner
in which It was proposed. He press
ed all 50 buttons on his desk. In
came the cabinet, assistant secre
taries, running. Mr. Mussolini put
them to work at once on the new
idea.
The version which the most emi
nent new dealers here have ii that
Mr. Cantor, by this time, realired he
had a beer by the tall. He handed
the tail over to a commercial at
tache tn Rome, who became greatly
Interested In the proposition and
apparently made some broad prom
ises to Mr. Mussolini's men. The
American ambassador in Home be
came Interested, took the matter up
with the state department here.
Up to this time, apparently no
one had thought of asking Holly
wood wh at It though t abou t the
idea. The state department looked
into that angle, found the movie
Industry not only cold to he propo
sition but frown stiff against It.
The movie moguls did not want any
of Mr. Mussolini' actors and said
so.
But the movement hal been taken
so far in Rome by this time that no
one dared to tell Mr. Mussolini out
right about the situation. The
promises of the commercial attache
could not possibly be fulfilled, so
authorities here decided the short
est way out of the situation would
be to recall him. This was done, and
he was given permanent leave of
absence without pay. But still it
was necessary to do something about
Mr. Mussolini's actors. A substitute
plan was worked out so that a few
of them may come over here on a
tour and be given keys to the cities,
but no Joba
What Mr. Hoover ha been whis
pering Into the ears of those Re
publican leaders on his latest trans
continental journey is substantially
this:
The next Republican presidential
candidate should come from the
middle west. There Is where the
h opes of Republ I can s u ocess m ust
center. The candidate must be a
sound money man.
This cancels whatever previous
notion Mr. Hoover may have enter
tained that an easterner of the type
of Ogden Mills should be the choice.
Indeed, there Is good reason to be
lieve that those who got the Idea
that Mr. Hoover intended to back
Mills misinterpreted Mr. Hoover's
position. He has told friends lately
that he never had any Idea that
Mills could or should be nominated.
The most Influential Republican
authorities agree with Mr. Hoover
this time. The name they are talk
ing over are well known : Frauk
Knox, the Chicago publisher, Sena
tor Vandenberg of Michigan. Gov
ernor Land on of Kansas, and Sena
tor Dickinson of Iowa. No others.
You will shortly begin to hear
more about Dickinson's chances.
The leaders have apparently decided
to talk him up to see what the pop
ular reaction will be among party
men.
He has a good record of opposi
tion to the new deal, being one of
the few Republicans who originally
voted against NRA. In fact, he has
opposed Just about everything the
new deal has stood for. The party
morula spparently believe the poli
tical situation now la getting around
to the point where a relentless an
tagonist should be given the nomi
nation in preference to anyone who
has approved some new deal steps.
General Johnson dashed into an
elevator in the national press build

with the law here in 1937. and
police sources stated that the form
er bootlegger has within the past
several months paid hasty visits to
this city, where his wife and chil
dren are now living.
State police acknowledged no
check on the small frame house
on South Peach street where Bailey's
wife, children and brother-in-law
are said to be staying, nor would
any official acknowledge that fed
eral agents are possibly keeping
tab on the house in case Bailey
should return.
One authority atated. however,
that a man believed to have been
Bailey was seen on several nights
approach the house with other men
in a "large black sedan," several
weeks prior to the kidnaping.
Another official authority stated
that "Bailey came through Medford
the first of this week, entering the
city at 11:30 p. m. and leaving
about 4:30 the next morning." This
opinion was based upon observance
of a man believed to have been
Bailey entering town from the north.
Pederal authorities at Portland
have refused to state whether or
not Bailey has yet been found and
queried, but did say he was last
seen in that city May 15. Opinion
of some authorities in this city la
that he Is in San Francisco. It is
said that his wife claims he la In
Texas, where he once lived and
where his father la aaid to be a
lumberman.
A web of information disclosed
by local authorities revealed that
Bailey came to Medford in the fall
of 1026, after serving In the United
Statos marines, and secured employ
ment here as welder on the city
water pipe line. He was aoon dis
charged when caught bootlegging
among the crew.
Bailey then started bootlegging as
an occupation, police claim, and
kept out of trouble until April 21,
1927, when he pleaded guilty to a
charge of possession of intoxicating
liquor, and was sentenced to pay
a fine of WOO and serve six months
tn the county Jail. He paid the fine
and served 85 days of the sentence.
In the county Jail at Jacksonville.
After hla release he continued to
bootleg, evading arrest. On one oc
casion he was found at a liquor
cache near the city limits south of
Medford. and escaped under gunfire
from Ralph Jennings,- then sheriff.
On the evening of his arrest on
the liquor possession charge he came
to the police station and offered to
bet Officer Joe Cave that they
wouldn't catch him on a deal that
night. Officer Cave refused the bet.
but three hours later Bailey was
arrested on the Old Stage road
while delivering' two quarts of moon
shine. After leaving Medford In 1930, he
went to Tacoma and Portland, au
thorities believe.
On his visits to Medford he fre
quently dropped Into the police sta
tion, and talked freely with the
officers. He was seen by city police
here last New Year's day, and also
talked with Officer Cave on the
street while here about two months
ago. On one of his recent visits he
Is said to have Inquired about a
roadhouse on King's highway with
the Intention of buying It. He la
aald to have operated a string ot
road houses along the coast.
Police records reveal that he was
lodged In the .city Jail on December
30, 1934 on a drunkenness charge.
He was convicted in Portland
during his earlier activities In Jack

SENATE WARY OF
ANTI-TRUST LAWS
Full Repeal Of Exemptions
Despite F.D.R.'s Promise
Sought Busy Week
Ahead-
WASHINGTON, June 8. (AP)
Scared even of the ghostlike NRA
voted by the house, senate opponent
of the wrecked recovery law, an
nounced today they would demand
full repeal of provisions permitting
exemptions from the anti-trust laws.
They served notice that when the
skeleton of the Blue Eagle Is car
ried in from the house Monday, they
would ask to have it sent to com
mittee for making of such changes.
Administration leaders sought to
convince their senate colleagues that
nothing but the bones of the bird
were left, and that It was a harm
less old carcass from which the
supreme court had stripped all skin
and flesh.
The legislation, a resolution ap
proved by the house yesterday, would
continue the recovery law until next
April, with the authority for com
pulsory codes eliminated because or
the supreme court's decision holding
them invalid.
The little band of senators who
led the fight against the NRA even
before it was finally felted by the
supreme court was openly skeptical
of the resolution despite assurance
from President Roosevelt that the
antl-fuat laws would be fully ' re
stored. This group waa concerned about
a provision of the old act contin
uing authority for the president to
relax the anti-trust laws for volun
tary agreements between Industrial
units.
WASHINGTON. June 8. (AP)
Congressional leaders agreed today
the legislative machine would have

These problems were uppermost In
the minds of early arrivals:
' Will the meeting develop support

Will a convincing statement of

Will a firm pledge to hew to the

BUT BEST WISHES
Sentiment Of Nation For
Braddock, Who Flashed
From Relief Rolls To
Chance For Riches, Year
NEW YORK. June 8. (AP) Old
Man Depression himself, James J.
Braddock. of Woodcllff, N. J., pokes
hts big Irish face into the heavy
weight spotlight Thursday night t
challenge glittering Max Baer Tor
the world's championship, .and to
find out personally if a man ever
does spring from raga to riches
almost overnight.
They fight 15 rounds In Madison
Square Garden's big bowl on Long
Island, and while cold facts make
the tiger champion a 5 to 1 choice,
there hasn't been a sentimental
favorite like this Irish lclcl since
Georges Carpentler, orchid man from
France and World war hero, came
over to wage a hopeless duel with
Jack Dempsey tn 1921.
The Garden expects there will be
33.000 there, and close to 8300.000 in
the cash box if the weather Is good.
It seems safe to say that aside from
Baer's personal following, there will
scarcely be a person In the arena,
or outside listening to the broad
cast, who won't be sympathizing
with the gallant bid of the Jersey
man. A year ago this time. ' Braddock
was working as a stevedore loading
railroad ties on the Jersey City
docks. In close to ten yesrs of ring '
warfare he had been beaten 33 ttmes
In 79 fights. His most recent fights
had been his worst. His future seem
ed definitely behind him.
Then the Garden called him t
fill in on a preliminary on th
card that gave Max Baer hts chance
to crush Prlmo Camera for the
heavyweight title. He almost decided
to para It up: stevedoring seemed
safer financially. But he toased up
the Job. trained one afternoon, and
knocked out Com Griffin, though
he had to get up off th floor to
do It.
His Job was gone and he couldnt
get it back or get another fight.
From February of 1034 to Marcn
of this year, he was on the relief
rolls, drawing 834 a month In New '
Jersey. He haunted the Garden. "H
got a fight with John Henry Lewis
and beat him, one with Art Lasky
and whipped him. He paid back
the money he'd gotten for relief.
Max SchmeMIng knocked out Steve
Hamas and then wouldn't come over
to fight Baer. Th first thing th
astonished Braddock knew he was
named heavyweight title challenger.
He's an entirely different warrior
today than he was a year ago. A
steady diet of steaks Instead or
hash, has raised hla fighting weight
close to 106 pounds. He always could
hit, though he's still very slow. He
has put in a terrific training siege
up In the Catakllla. He's rock-hard,
desperately but bitterly confident
that his wife and three youngsters
aren't going to have to depend again
on government help.
