Washington. D. C.
The furious battle over the bill to
suspend the 40-hour week in war
plants caused a personal rift be
tween two house leaders that may
take a long time to heal.
When Rep. John McCormack,
Massachusetts liberal, was elected
Democratic floor leader, one of his
strongest supporters was a col
league who had nothing in common
with McCormack except friendship
? anti-New Deal, anti-labor Rep.
r*
IC CO* UI UCUIgld.
It was with hushed astonishment,
therefore, that the house listened to
Cox's bitter attack against McCor
mack during the stormy debate over
the anti-40 hour proposal. His voice
strident in anger. Cox denounced
McCormack on the ground that his
opposition to abolishing the 40-hour
week was "not good sportsmanship,
and I wonder if it is good leader
ship "
"I have hoped," the Georgian
thundered, "that at some time the
gentleman from Massachusetts
would come to a realization that he
is supposed to speak for the major
ity of this house rather than for
somebody else."
Friends rushed to McCormack's
defense, but he made no reply. Next
day, however, under McCormack's
leadership, the bill was defeated 226
to 62? a tally which left no doubts
about who spoke for the "majority."
Note: Two undercover factors
were responsible for this vote, which
probably did not reflect the general
sentiment of the country. One was
a tremendous pressure drive by the
A. F. of L. and C.I.O. in the district
of each congressman. This was par
ticularly effective with Republicans,
who, with their eyes on next fall's
congressional elections, are very po
litical-minded. Second, was the fail
ure of the farm bloc to support the
bill because it feared labor reprisals
against the parity and other boodle
grabs which the farm bloc is after.
The bloc has been counted on to kill
the 40-hour week, but the laborites
served blunt notice that if the bill
was passed, labor would ax the
farmers. Result, the farm bloc ran
for cover and the bill went into the
ashcan.

WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED
The other day Harry Hopkins had
a visitor in the person of Aubrey
Williams, head of the National
Youth administration, who has been
one of his closest friends for many
years.
"Harry," said Williams, looking
around the room in the naval hos
pital, "how many bottles of medi
cine have you got there?"
"About 18," replied the lend-lease
administrator.
"About 18 too many," commented
the National Youth administrator.
"And how many doctors have you
got?"
Hopkins told him.
"Well, Harry, what's the use of
your fooling around with all these
doctors and all this medicine," said
his friend. "You know that the more
doctors you have the more this
whole thing gets on your nerves.
Now there's only one doctor who
really knew what ailed you, and
that's Andy Rivers out at Mayo's in
Rochester. Why don't you have Dr.
Rivers come East and get you fixed
up?"
Harry Hopkins actcd on his old
friend's advice, sent for Dr. Rivers,
and now is out of the hospital.
He says he has forgotten about
medicine and doctors, and feels bet
ter than he has in months. Fur
thermore, Dr. Rivers has told him
that without any question he can
recover entirely.
NEW G.O.P. CHAIRMAN?
It's very shush-shush, but in cer
tain inner Republican circles there
have been secrct pow-wows on re
placing Rep. Joe Martin as national
chairman.
The hard-working little Bay Stater
wanted to quit last year, but party
chiefs decided that the wisest course
would be to persuade Martin to stay
for the sake of harmony.
Now some of the strongest advo
cates ui" his retention are after his
scalp. The hostile fire is from two
sources.
One is from Mid-West leaders,
sour on Martin, (1) for his failure to
give them recognition in national
headquarters; (2) for his secrct
financial wooing of Pennsylvania oil
millionaire Joseph Pew and Penn
sylvania steel millionaire Ernest
Weir.
In the farm belt the two big-money
contributors are political dynamite
and the Mid-West G.O.P. chiefs can't
understand why Martin is palling
around with them. So they feel the
time has come for one of their group
to be named either natio ial chair
man or executive director.
npHE eyes of a smart catcher
j * should be able to study batting |
I form at closest range. This being
I true. Bill Dickey's slant on Ted
I Williams is worth noting.
Dickey was working in Hollywood
on the Lou Gehrig picture when the
argument was started about great
hitters.
"In my opinion," Bill said, "Ted
Williams last season was the great
est single-year hitter 1 ever saw, and
Vr+ around quite a while. I've
also seen a lot of good ones, or bet
ter than good.
"But Williams in 1941 was super
good. I worked on him with our
pitchers in something like 22 games
and I know what a tough job it was
to get him out or keep him oil the
bases. He was always a hundred
per cent poison."
What Makes Great Hitters?
"What were the main factors in
the Williams swing?" I asked the
Yankee catcher.
"There were a flock of main fac
tors," Dickey answered. "In the
first place, you just can't get Ted to
hit at a bad ball? even one only an
incii or two wide. He must havr
eyes like a hawk. You've got to get
it over or he'll wait and walk. Time
and again I've seen him let balls
slip by that couldn't have missed
the plate by more than an inch.
"In the second place, Williams has
a great pair of hands, wrists and
forearms. Weighing only 170 or
maybe 175 pounds, he has almost
as much power as the Babe and Lou
used to have. His timing is per
fect. He seems to wait until the ball
TED WILLIAMS
is almost in your mitt before he |
swings. I've never seen a hitter
who could wait longer before taking
his cut. Few can do this. Every
one is a little too anxious at the
bat and quick hitting or swinging
is a general fault. But not with
Ted Williams."
No Weak Spots
"Another thing about Williams,"
Dickey continued, "is that he has
no weak spots. We've tried every
thing against him ? keeping them
low ? keeping them up ? fast balls
and slow balls ? curves and every
thing else. But his bat seems to
be in the road, nj matter what he
is served.
"Remember, Ted is still a kid ? ;
around 23, as I recall it. There isn't
any telling how many records he
might have broken if there had been i
no war.
"Joe DiMaggio is another great
hitter who knows how to wait on a
pitch. Joe also keeps a pitcher at
work. He hits at few bad balls and
you never see him rushing any
swing. I've heard that good timing
was simply taking your time, and ;
that seems to fit both Williams and j
DiMaggio."
A nother Good Year
It might be noted here that the
Arkansas Sniper is apparently head
ed for another big year.
"I'm feeling physically better than
I have felt in a long time," Bill
said. "I'd like to catch another hun
dred games again and I'd like to
get back in the .300 class."
It might be remembered that
Dickcy broke all major league rec
ords last season by catching 100 or ?
more games for the 13th time. He !
came to the Yankees around 1928
and the tall Arkansas entry has been
a mighty factor in the Yankee
march ever since.
Always a great hitter in the ]
clutches. Dickey's main succcss has (
been in the matter of handling young j
pitchers ? or any brand of pitching. |
You never see him excited or up- ;
set, no matter what the crucial spot.
In the midst of wild and turbulent
innings Dickey remains cooler than
the heart of on iceberg.
His knowledge of rival batters is
astonishing. He can tell yon the
weakness and strength of every hit
I ter tn his league.

JESUS THE MESSIAH
FORETELLS HIS DEATH
LESSON TEXT? Mark 6 J7-37.
GOLDEN TEXT? For whosoever will save
his life shall lose It; but whosoever shall
lose his We for my sake and the cuspel's.
the same shall save It. ? Mark 8:3V
Jesus came into the world as the
Redeemer of men ? and that means
He came to die. The prophets who
wrote centuries before His coming
presented Him as both the suffering
and the reigning Messiah. However,
to the minds of the Jewish people
only the idea of His glory and king
ship was acceptable, not of His suf
fering and death.
Apparently His own discipl.es had
this same impression and it there
fore became necessary for Jesus as
He came to the last months of His
earthly ministry to speak plainly to
them about these matters.
I. Recognition of Christ by Faith
(vv. 27-30),
As a foundation for right thinking
on any spiritual question there must
be recognition of Christ's deity. He
drew forth such a confession from
the disciples by asking who men
said that He was. Notice that while
there was difference of opinion, all
had a high opinion of Him, calling
Him John the Baptist, Elijah, or one
of the prophets. They knew that a
great man was in their midst, and
had to admit it, even though they
hated and opposed Him. But it is
not enough to accept Christ as a
great man, as a teacher, a prophet,
or an example. Nor is it en^gh
to tell what others think of Him.
The question quickly becomes:
"Whom say ye that I am?" Have
you answered that question? What
will you do with Jesus Christ?
Peter responded with a straight
forward, heaven-born confession of
Christ as the Son of the living God
(cf. Matt. 16:16-18) upon which Christ
i established His church.
II. Rejection and Crucifixion
. Prophesied (vv. 31, 32).
The foundation of faith in Him
having been laid, Christ plainly laid
before the disciples the fact of His
coming rejection and death. Notice
the word "must" in verse 31. "There
was an imperative necessity for
these things. But why must He
die? This question is fully answered
elsewhere in the Bible (John 3:14;
Heb. 9:22; Isa. 53:4-6; II Cor. 5:21;
Gal. 3:13; I Pet. 2:24). There could
have been no salvation for any sin
ner if He had not died (Gal. 3:10,
13; II Cor. 5:21; Rom. 3:20-26)"
(John W. Bradbury).
Note also that He "must rise
again" (v. 31). He died for our
sins, but "was raised again for our
justification" (Rom. 4:25).
III. Rebuke of Unbelief (vv. 32,
| 33). I
Peter, quick to accept Jesus as
the Son of God, permitted Satan to !
blind his mind to the necessity of
the cross, and thus became a stum
bling block of unbelief, calling forth :
a severe rebuke from Jesus.
It is a striking and humbling
thought that the very one who a '
moment before spoke such accept- '
able words of recognition jf Christ's
deity could by unbelief so quickly
become the tool of Satan. "My soul, j
be on thy guard" lest such tempta
tion overtake thee!
May we also learn from this inci
dent that we do well to weigh the
words of even good men lest in a
moment of weakness or unbelief they
say that which may lead us astray.
God's Word alone is sure!
IV. Requirements of Diseipleship
(vv. 34-37).
Following the Christ of Calvary
calls for a willingness to say "no"
to self (literally, to deny any con
nection with self-life) and to follow
through with Him on the path ot
shame and crucifixion. No self-will
and no compromise arc permissible
to Christ's disciples.
Foolishly to attempt to hold one's
life for self is to lose it. That pain
ful loss has left brokenhearted,
wrecked lives all along the path of
man's history. But why should any
one do it? Equally foolish is the
one who supposes that this world has
anything to satisfy the human soul.
Assuming the possibility of the im
possible?that is, attaining the whole
world as one's own possession ? to do
so at the cost of one's soul would be
an indescribably poor bargain.
What then shall we say of those
who barter their eternal souls for a
mess of pottag*, a moment of sensu
al satisfaction, or for a few paltry
dollars? "What shall a man give
in exchange for his soul?"
