L.T, SUNOCOMONDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1957 GOOD EVENING EVERXB0DY: nLet1 s all get together and see if we canH put 1 1 1 1 1 an end to that civil war in Spain,« says Cuba. To which Uncle Q Sam replies in the laguage of the poet, and that*s a consummation devoutly to be wished In ,fBut,n adds your Uncle, «please count | me out.11 And the State Department explains: f,The Government of the United States has adopted as a matter of principle, a policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of another country.” The suggestion of the Cuban government was that all the American republics should get together and arbitrate that Spanish mess. Captain Anthony Eden made a sharp retort to some of the criticisms that have been fired at the British government's Spanish policy. "It's a weak and it's vacillating," said the patriarched Wartime Premier, the Right Honorable Daivd Lloyd George; SFAia - 2 also the leaders of the Labor Party. The whole non-intervention scheme, said Mr. Lloyd George, was a one-sided affair, which helped only Franco and the insurgents. The Foreign Minister came right back with a quotation from the Military Journal of the Soviet Government; an article which described quote n the overwhelming majority in the air of the Spanish government — Madrid .11 End quote. That fairly flabbergasted the Labor leaders in the House of Commons when they heard it. Captain Anthony Eden went on to quote other official figures, showing that the British governments refusal to recognize France as a belligerent had deprived him of control of the sea. That had enabled the Spanish government to receive a huge volume of supplies. Eye-witnesses of today1s proceedings in the British Parliament described the opposition as stunned bji Anthony Eden*s answer. ADD SPAIN Gaptain Eden*s speech was not^confined to Spanish affairs. It was a general defensejOf British foreign policy, the most vigorous, they say, of his whole career. Be started off with a direct snub to Mussolini. He referred to Mussolini■S championship of Hitler 1 s demands for a place in the African sun. "Some countries ,11 he said, ’’proclaim an ultimatum and call It peace.” And he continued: ”Such orders will-never be obeyed by t\ the British public. < ifo -regtdy»-te aako our oon»rtbqtlon ts nmf And the House of Commons roared its cheers, when OmptAto Eden added: ”We will accept cooperation from all but dictation from none! ” ^------------------------ ——a----------------------------------------- Here*s a surprise note on the Spanish situation which came over the wire just a few minutes ago. Catalonia is buzzing with rumors that the civil war will be over in two months. It Is even being discussed In the front line trenches. The morale of the government soldiers is so low that some of them even talk about admitting that the Rebels are bound to win. That report wwibw xfwoguncgfftg±a±xacEaMgggax does not come from official sources^ but from impartial neutral observers. CHINA Today, for the first time a prominent Japanese comes forward to admit that a war is going on in China. And says he:- ,fIt is a very foolish sort of war. We get nothing out of it. All Japan knows we are fighting for no material gain.w The man who makes that statement;, is Mr. Takaishi, one of the most important editors of Japan. He’s here to try to explain the Japanese cause to us. And tone of the things he s&id was: f,We certainly haven't been tactfull" "What Japan is fighting for in China he explained, "is to stamp out the anti-Japanese feeling. We want freedom to bring about peaceful cooperation in the development of natural resources in north China. Wre want to be treated the same as other countries." CHINA - 2 Conf-e-pettee~came-~not- f» United -Iti ngdea ^ut-fr-ea—the United* S-Wteesr*-** ---—— -- ------- ——- 0 -------------- — In Tokyo, newspapers bristled with dispatches from Rome and Berlin, the gist of which was that Italy was prepared to jump ! into thenar Eastern situation. If Soviet Russia takes any part, that is any military actlor^*,in the Sino-Japanese War, Mussolini will line up with Hitler on Japanfs side. Everybody In Tokyo believes that this was decided definitely when the Duee visited the Fuehrer iripermany last month. The Rome-Berlin axis is prepared to interpret Its stajad against Communism by heipirg Japan if the excuse arises. And a spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office admitted that there have been conversations between Italy and the Mikado*s government WIND SQR A quiet, exceedingly reserved man walked down the gangplank from the QUEEN MAR¥ here at New Xork today. His name was not on the passenger list. But, some of the reporters recognized Mm from Ms photographs. For he was once much in the tabloids. It was Mr. Ernest A, Simpson, once of America, now of London. Naturally, he was soon surrounded by news hawks. But he beat them to it with a speech as follows: clearing his throat saidhe:- "I trust that all of you are gentlemen, and, as you realize I have never said anytMng to the press, about the circumstances, you will understand that I have notMng to say now.” He had come to the states, he said, to see Ms mother and also on business for Ms firm. Mr. Simpson* s appeal was so simple and direct that he got away with it. Strange as it maji seem, the reporters took Mm at Ms word, and they left Mm alone. I know you don*t believe it, but it!s sot Mr. Ernest Simjison's arrival In New York thus precedes by eleven days the coming of his ex-wife and her third husband. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Windsor. 4&d we learn today that it has been definitely arranged for the Duke and Duchess to be WINDSOR - 2 the guests of the President at the White House. However, it will not be a state visit and the First I*ady of the band will not answer the door. Mrs. Roosevelt has to leave Washington November fourth on a lecture tour and won't be back for more than two weeks. So it will probably be just a luncheon, nothing official, nothing ceremonious. There has been a good deal of specualation as to what will be the attitude of His Majesty's embassy In Washington when the Duke and Duchess arrive: here. It so happens that His Excellency, Sir Ronald Lindsay, also arrived onthe QUEEN MAR¥ today. Sir Ronald said: wIf the Duke wants any help I shall give it to him.” Then he added:- "But I doubt whether he will want to be escorted around the country by anybody representing the embassy." Then Ambassador explained: nfiis Royal Highness was always the simplest kind of person." Sir Ronald added:- "The Duke Is coming in a private capacity and will be treated the same as any other member of the royal family." The LONDON DAILY EXPRESS announced today that the visit of the Windsors to this country Is part of a plan to establish an International Welfare Foundation, the direct object of which will be to bring about better living standards and working conditions all over WINDSOR - 3 the world. Perhaps we will have a chance to hear the details of this from the lips of the Duke of Windsor himself. For he is planning to make a fireside chat owfr the r adio while he is here. And as we all remember he Is rather a radio star — his perhaps Was the most famous radio speech ever made Along with a few million of you, I took in a football game over the week-end. Palmer otadium, the lair of the Princeton Tiger. And I was hoping against hope that the majority of the soothsayers were wrong. Ton tell them about, Ed Thorgersen, you tell ’em the sad, sad story, while X sit here and weep. ED THORGERSEN Well I for one called it wrong because — as I stated Friday night — theories and statistics where Big Three traditional football is concerned mean next to nothing at all. Bo I reasoned that inasmuch as past performances gave Harvard the slight edge going into the game — Ifd abide by the rule of reverse Sind call a Princeton upset. As it happened the records for once really indicated the winner an Ivy League football but believe me Lowell, if there was anything in the past performance of those two teams to qualify the worst Princeton defeat by a Crimson team in their sixty year old rivalry — it must have been written in invisible ink. So how^d you like to pick up a bargain Lowell in a second-hand crystal — you can use it to pick the winner of the Harvard-Xale game two weeks from next Saturday. Speaking of Xale — brings to mind that spectacular finale of the Xale-Dartmouth game — I mean — particularly those blood­ curdling final seconds of the last period when the Bulldog baekfield gave 72,000 frenzied spectators perhaps the greatest single football thrill of the season. When those three Eli bulldogs, Fank, Hessberg, and Humphery pulled the game out of the fire in the last twenty seconds of play with that Frank Merriweil touchdown pass and conversion that tied the score. ED THQRGERSE& - 2 Of Dartmouth be it said — here and now — scoring punch we knew it had — but the way the line measured up — in the face of epidemic illness that gripped half the first string lineup — dispells any doubt that myy have existed before the game that Dartmouth — bft its last weekend performance stands tonight on a par with Yale, Pittsburgh and Fordham — challengers all for Eastern ranking, In the Middle West, reverberations continue to echo the stunning upset of Minnesota by the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, whose 7 to 6 victory over Bernie Bieranfs Juggernaut removes Minnesota from the upper brackets of Nations! ranking and enables Notre Dame to retain its spotless record of never having been beaten by a Minnesota team* Monday morning quarterbacks along the Dixie Trails are still talking about the toppling of Vanderbilt by a rebuilt wreck from Georgia Tech. It's sheoks like that make Friday night football forecasts turn out to be Monday night fairy tales. Along the southwestern sector tonight Baylor stands head and shoulders above all other contenders for conference supremacy by its six to nothing verdict over a strong Texas Christian squad. ED THQRGERSBfl - 3 WMie on the Pacific coast , none will question California* s claim to the western Rose Bowl invitation — for in smashing U.C.L.A. twenty-seven to fourteen — the Golden Bear occupies the pi^aaele of Pacific Conference ranking. So — by way of recapitulation her@*s how they stand. In the East — a four cornered race for the Atlantic Seaboard crown — namely -— Yale-— Pittsburgh — Fordham and Dartmouth — in the order named. Mid-west they rank Ohio State the tops — with Nebraska close behind. In the South — Alabama — as predicted by your roving reporter in the Norfolk Vigginia Sournal sometime last August. In the Southwest — it*s Baylor— with California dominating the Golden West. I hear you*ve got a football story tonight Lowell — let»s hear it 1 *7 FOOTBALL A football game at Hockvlew Penitentiary at Bellefonte, Pennsyivania,^had an amusing sequel. The prison team played a visiting outfit from McKeesport, Pennsylvania. The prisoners won handsomely, twenty-four to nothing, on the gridiron. But^it seems the McKeesporters also won. They left the grounds before the cops had a chance to ask them some interesting questions. It turnedbut that shortly before the game, eleven new uniforms disappeared from the gymnasium of St.Peter's Church in McKeesport. The pastor of the church had been asked for the loan of those football suits but when he learned that they were to be used for a Sunday game, he refused. However, some unauthorized ~ 1 person or persons got hold of. So the cops of A. ' I McKeesport did a little Sherlock-Holmesing. s -iementary, my dear Watson, elementary," said the chief^.of~qxrlrlgg> and flashed a wire to the penitentiary"Hold that football team(n The McKeesport 1 1 & wi football^fcwan was held all right, so far as the game was concerned. But the message arrived after the game was over^The consequence was. that everybody won something^ except the cops, I RADIO The technical progress of radio conmunications is due in a great part to the Initiative of radio amateur operators. There1s a sentiment that out justly to tickle the pride of all hams, as the amateurs like to call themselves. It was uttered today at Havana, where the Inter-Ajnerican Radio Conference opened. President Rru of Buba, who opened the conference, made that statement and said: «It»s our responsibility to defend the interests of radio amateurs." AUTOMOBILE Here's a bit of gossip from the Automobile Show. The pageant of new models has persuaded Joe Gibson of Essex, New Jersey, to buy a new ear — and turn in "Betsy !-11 Joe, writes in explanation as follows: "History shows," says he, "that Betsy was acquired by me in Nineteen Thirty One and has covered a hundred and fourteen thousand miles on no other product than Blue Sunoco, and Sunoco A Mercury Made Oil." These are Joe' s words. And he goes on:- "History likewise shows that in that time the hood has ne#er been off the engine for a carbon Job nor have the cylinders and valves been ground. Betsy," ^oes's document continues, "has had no insidd garag:. ing, ha/ing depended upon the canooy of heaven amid wind and rain." Now, however, the new dodels have tempted Joe — and he's turning Betsy in. G.O.P There's going to be a meeting of the National Committee of the Republican Party inChicago this week, and leaders say a tremendous lot depends upon it. e &£#eue3£<*R% And of course the chief topic will be the plan urged by Ex-President Hoover for an off-year cohvention next spring. Ex- Governor Landon isn't going to be the only G.Q,P. leader to fight Mr, Hoover. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas is among those lined up with Mr, Landon. The Kansas Senator declares that this proposed off-year convention would bring about such a row» over party leadership that the G.O.P. would have great difficulty electing members to Congress a year from now. ELECTION / Tomorrow is sure to be one of the most exciting day in the history of lew York City. For the Tammany Tiger, the famous political animal • is fighting for its life.) That*s about the way ray colleague John B. Kennedy, of the Commentator Magazine puts it in a SATURDAY EVENING POST article. The Wigwam has seen its ups and downs in recent years. But never before has the Tiger's back \ been to the wall as now. ^The anxiety tomorrow will be not merely whether the fiery LaGuardia is reelected. The Wigwam is most concerned over Tom Dewey. Will he defeat Tammany's candidate, Harold Hastings, for the District Attorney's job? ^ If Tammany loses the District Attorney1s office this year, and the City Hall as well, then the Tiger's hid will be hanging on a fence. That's what the political sharks tonight are saying all over the country. There are municipal elections in several other cities, including Boston where they're are six candidates out for the Mayor's job. And the folks In New Jersey are going to vote for a governor and a legislature tomorrow ■ ■OMEN If you were on trial in a court of law for something or other, would you like to have women on the jury? According to what one federal judge says, the answer should depend upon whether you were guilty or Innocent. "Verdicts," says this jurist, "have improved conspicuously since women began to serve on juries." Judge Grover Moscowits of the Federal Court in Brooklyn, New York, declares that, during the one month in which women have served on federal juries in his court, the verdicts have been far more intelligent than those brough by all male juries. Then His Honor explained: "The women have not been fooled by the eloquence of lawyers nor by the perjury of witnesses. They have not permitted maudlin sentiment to affect their judgment." By way of an afterthought. His Honor added, "No offense to the men is Intended." Well, maybe. Judge, maybe — SO LON® TNTIL TOMORROW. ;
