Kepublican aspirants may safely repudiate all that Roosevelt promised in his con-ferences with Stalin and all that Mr. Tru-man promised after he took office.

""Ha CotnTO BEGDI FIGHT- - M rpHERE are more shattered dreams, dislocated hopes and tragedies in a training camp than could ever guess. This is no sob story no crying match. It is a true story affecting the future lives and hopes of many very fine young men such as Char-lie Keller of the Yankees. Keller is as clean and as fine a citizen as 1 ever have known. He was a top stu-dent at Maryland. He was a young star with the Yankees. He has known more than one bad break. He was just edging into the money when he was called to war service. Last sea-son a growth on his spine cut him down. Keller has been working desper-ately to get back. The old pain is gone. The suffering is over. But back muscles take time to mend. "I can hit the ball solidly," he told me, "but it doesn't go very far. I need time to rebuild those destroy-ed muscles. What about the future? Who knows? I can only hope." There is Spud Chandler, nearing 40, a great pitcher with a great heart. The chunk they cut from his elbow is still a St. Petersburg ex-hibit. "I'm aiming at 15 wins," Chandler told me. "I won't be far away." Maybe. Maybe not. But here's a man's career hanging in the balance. Tex Hughson of the Red Sox one of the best. Chandler rated Hughson the best in the American League. Last year Hughson won 12 and lost 11. Not too hot. But he also had a sore arm that called for an opera-tion. How good will Hughson be this season? Who can say? Hughson in e shape can win the American League pennant for Joe McCarthy and the Red Sox. A wavering Hugh-so- n can bring about their defeat. If you saw the Kellers, the Chan-dlers, the Hughsons and others on the borderline, at work, you could sense their background -- of tragedy or their hopes of better and brighter days. A job is pretty important when you have a wife and a few kids. I mean a job where you belong a job such as these veterans and others deserve. There happens to be more than you might know on the human side in a spring training camp, where men from 30 to 39 might be wonder-ing what the next move will be. Football Coaches The new football season of 1948 al-ready is under way, with the great-est coaching shift in history. There are new men at Yale, Harvard, In-diana, Navy, Michigan, Washington and Kansas, to mention only a few. They are all good men and those who have the best material will win. Those who haven't, won't. The most distinct shift belongs to Herman Hickman wjio left Army for Yale. The poet laureate of the Smoky mountains, who as a fat coun-try boy, reached stardom as a guard at Tennessee over 20 years ago, had no early dream that some day he would be head football man beneath New Haven's elassic elms. At West Point, Hickman became the best line coach I ever saw. He also became one of the most inspira-tional factors in all football No one can say just yet how Hick-man will work out as a head coach in his first year. My guess is that the Smoky mountain bard will do a fine job with even fair material. Even at football's middle age, Herman knows in advance that he can handle any man on his squad, physically. This was true at Army when he had Coulter, Foldberg, Steffy and a few other brawny linemen. I've seen Hickman take them on two at a time with his amazingly active 300 or more pounds. Hickman should make a fine head coach. He has been a great football player and also a great fellow. Be-tween seasons he can take over the chair of mountain poetry at Yale, in which his kinfolk might figure. Tie Great Bambino There is a story marching that is beyond all telling. Its setting is deep in tragedy, but its outline is as brilliant as any rim of stars. It is the story of Babe Ruth, suf-fering beyond all comprehension, yet valiantly retracing his path of nearly 30 years ago for the good of baseball, for the good of all kids and for the good of suffering humanity in gen-eral whatever the cause may be. It is the .story of a man who is much greater nearing the trail's end of glory than he ever was hitting his TH home runs, and giving a vast nation the greatest thrills that sport ever has known. Babe Ruth has been my friend for over 30 years a great guy, set in mammoth proportions of build, heart and appetite, especially when he was starring from 1914 through 1935 in the box, in the field and above all, at bat. Broken, but not beaten, a relic of the king that was, he is an even greater man today. His head may be bloody but It remains un-bowed. I have watched his drawn face, where anyone could see his inward suffering, as he autographed base-balls and score cards. 1 ' V 5 ,"!" , X ? ,v i , THE GREAT MAN MAROIES IN EFFIGY. . .John L. Lewis took part in the parade that marked 'John Mitchell Day' at New Kensington, Pa., but he didn't quote once from Shakespeare or rage grandi-loquently at the Taft-Hartl- act. He was there only in effigy as member of the Hamarville delegation. John Mitchell, incidentally, was the LFVlW president who first won the eight-ho- ur day for miners. Britain Will Fight Reds QNE QUES TI by war chiefs dur-ing recent defense discussions was whether Great Britain would throw its weight with the U. S. in case oi a Red army sweep across Europe. It is no secret that there has been strong sentiment in war-wear- y Brit-ain for sitting out the next war. Five years of buzz-bomb- s and living in air-rai- d shelters have made a lo1 of Britishers feel that neutrality may be the best policy. Incidentally this opinion is also widely held by many Frenchmen, Belgians, Dutch and other conti-nentals. The. answer to this question was to U. S. defense plan-ners. They had to figure out in ad-vance whether the United States would be able to have air bases neat the European continent. With the Red army probably sweeping to the English Channel in a few weeks in case of war, Britain and Spain would be the only potential bases usable by the United States. However, definite word has now been given the United States by the British government that, if Russia attacks, Britain will fight. British bases will be available to American bombers. Kavajos Own Valuable Land IT NOW LOOKS AS IF the poverty- -stricken Navajo Indians, trying to scratch a precarious living from the wastelands of Arizona and New Mexico, may own one of the most priceless pieces of property in the U. S. For some time our chief worry in production of atomic energy was the fact that all uranium deposits lay outside the United States. However, it now appears that the Navajos have been tending their pitiful flocks above a hidden atomic treasure. For, upon the Navajo reservation in the upper corner of Arizona and New Mexico, the Vanadium Corporation of America has been quietly extract-ing uranium. Further details regarding this operation must remain a military secret. One amazing fact can be revealed. So far, the Navajos haven't received one penny for the uranium taken from their land. Instead, the profits have been raked in by the Vanadium corpora-tion. The price which the atomic energy commission is paying the Vanadium corporation for uranium also is se-cret, but a member of the joint congressional committee on atomic energy predicted that the metal may become almost as precious as dia-monds. Since the richest deposits are all outside the United States and could be cut off in case of war, this domestic supply becomes all the more valuable. But the Navajos, sitting on one of nature's jackpots, so far haven't been able to collect a cent. Reason for this again is largely obscured by secrecy, and only part of the story can be told within the limits of na-tional security. For one thing, uranium does not exist in its pure form on the reserva-tion but must be extracted as a by-product from vanadium. The only leases to dig for vanadium on Navajo territory six in all are held by the Vanadium corporation. These leases specify that the Indians will be paid 10 per cent royalty on all mineral compounds except vanadium com-pounds. In the latter case, the royalty is stipulated as 10 per cent of the vanadium oxide, a metal used to toughen steel. Since uranium Is part of the raw vanadium ore until processed, the company conceiv-ably might get away with paying royalty only on the comparatively valueless vanadium oxide, not on the other raw vanadium out of which uranium comes. The Indian service takes the view that uranium is a separate metal apart from vanadium, therefore is subject to the full 10 per cent royalty fee. Stalin's Cigarette Case COMRADE ANDREI GROMYKO, Russia's dour-face- d ambassador to the United Nations, always looks as if he had a grouch on when snapped by photographers. Actually, he has a sense of humor. Or so a fellow diplomat found when he told Gro-myk- o this story. At Yalta, Winston Churchill took out his handsome gold cigarette case and offered- Stalin and FDR a cigarette. The cigarette case evoked considerable admiration especially the inscription: "To Winston from his colleagues in the house of com-mons." A little later Roosevelt took out his cigarette case and offered the con-ferring statesmen a cigarette. His case also evoked admiration. Includ-ing the inscription which read: 'To FDR from the boys on Capitol Hill." Next it was Stalin's turn to flash a diamond-studde- d cigarette case. Its inscription read: "To Count Szecheny from his friends at the jockey club." Gromyko listened carefully, roared with laughter.
