Policy Game

fiom a combination of race-track
payoff figures-with the winners get-
ting 600-1 odds.
Then, in October, 1935, a squall of
"tommy-gun" slugs caught Dutch
Schultz in a Newark, N.J. beer tav-
er , and his heir-apparent Dixie Da-
vis, then just 30 years old, allege~ly
took over the multi-million dollar
"policy empire."
The halcyon days of honey lasted
two years.
In 1937, Racket-Buster Dewey
turned on the heat.
And Davis "lammed" in traditional
gangster style-a widely-sought fugi-
tive until Dewey's agents captured
him in a Philadelphia hide-out.
With him in the hide-out, detec-
tives fqund Dixie's inamorata, Hope
Dare, and even while he was held
without bail, somehow, mysteriously,
Davis managed to visit her repeated-
ly at her apartment, escorted by de-
tectives. It was rumored that Ho e
Dare. was playing an important part
in the case.
Then the two small-town boys be-
gan rehearsing the scenes of the
court drama. Dewey, the one-time
choir boy from Owosso, Mich., kept
the time. Davis did the "singing"-
or squealing, in the argot of the un-
derworld
And because Davis "sang," plead-
ing guilty and turning state's evi-
dence, Jimmy Hines now stands vir-
tually alone to bear the brunt of
Dewey's onslaught.
All his co-defendants have either
turned states' evidence, are dead or
missing; except Martin ("Moe")
Weintraub, a lawyer who handled
policy cases in court.
Both Hines and Weintraub have
denied Dewey's charges.
Hines' fellow Tammanyite, form-
er District Attorney Dodge, has been
accused by Dewey of having been
"intimidated, influencedhornbribed"
by Hines-but no specific criminl
charge has yet been levelled against
him.
Of the other two city officials
name'd by Dewey,. Magistrate Fran-
cis J. Erwin is dead and Magistrate
Hulon Capshaw has joined Dodge in
vehement denials of corruption.
In letting Dixie Davis turn states'
evidence, Dewey obviously had big-
ger game in view.
Defense Attorney Stryker protested
angrily that Dewey was "going after"
Hines-attacking a Tammany lead-
er-not to clean up the gigantic pol-
icy, racket but to polish his already
daign g shield for an assault on the
governorship in 1940. Back, in the
'90's, . District Attorney Theodore
Rooeyelt had started swinging the
"big stick" against gamblers on his
way to the White Hogse.
But Dewey, weeks ago, denied any
ambition to become governor in 1940.
Dewey's astonishing record of con-
victions overshadows even the famed
disclosures of political corruption
made by Samuel Seabury in 1932-
the probe that sent ex-mayor Jimmy
Walker in flight to England and led
the then Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt to oust Tlomas M. ("Tin Box")
Farley as sheriff of New York.
Dewey convicted the notorious
Players Mark
Decade's Work

presented last week by the players,
Francis Compton, Oswald Marshall
and Whitford Kane, present guest di-
rector of the Repertory Players have
put their talents from the profession-
al stage to use in developing actors
from the aspirants who make up the
company.
Four years ago., Mr. Windt con-
tinued, it was decidedthat musicales
would be added to the productions of
the group in order to widen its ap-
peal. Since that time "The Choco-
late Soldier," two Gilbert and Sul-
livan light operas, "The Pirates of
Penzance" and H.M.S. Pinafore,"
Smetana's "The Bartered Bride" and
Frimi's "Vagabond King" have been
presented.
In late years, he pointed out, the
appeal of the Players has become
much more widespread than it was.
Now the townspeople are 'among the
first to demand tickets for perform-
ances where previously the audiences
had been almost wholly made up of
faculty and students. "Why, the
other day the waitress in a down-
town restaurant told me she had
immensely enjoyed the "Vagabond.
King," he said. "I was surprised and
vastly pleased.
"This widespread interest encour-
ages us to greater endeavour for it
shows us that a theatre such as ours
is desirable here and that if we make
it a good one the people will come to
see our offerings'
Mr. Windt gave much credit for
the successful season which the Rep-
ertory Players have enjoyed his staff.
Alevander Wyckoff of the Pennsyl-
vania Museum School of Industrial
Arts, who has designed the scenery
for the group, has, he said, "broughtj
a renaissance in designing and cos-1
tuming," with the aid of Evelyn Co-
hen, his wife, who is in charge of
the, costuming. Orren Parker, who
has done the lighting will leavershort-
ly, Mr. Windt said, to study scenery
and lighting under a Rockefeller
Foundation scholarship to the Yale
University Drama School. An inno-
vation this year, which he said, has
proved very., beneficial to the cast is
the course in directing which has
been carried on by Prof. William Hal-
stead of the speech department.
Waxey Gordon and Jack ("Legs")
Diamond.
Dewey had his hooks on Schultz,
too, when the Dutchman went out
and he smashed the $20,000,000-a-
year restaurant racket, the $10,000,-
000-a-year fur racket and a dozen1
other huge swindels battening like
leeches on legitimate business and4
industry in New York.
He smashed the $12,000,000-a-yearf
vice syndicate headed by Charles1
("Lucky") Luciano, and sent thet
luckless "Lucky" to bleak Dannemoral
Prison on a 30-50 year sentence.
So goes the record of young Tom
Dewey that confronts Jimmy Hines
on the eve of his trial-an iron-
jawed veteran of many a political
free-for-all, popular with his follow-f
ers, versus a cool-eyed young gladi-
ator sworn to wipe out graft withoutk
regard for politics, high or low.

dleton's sewer, the job of bringing
John Smith and federal relief money
together is complete. The WPA of-
fice at Middletown tells John Smith
to go to work and puts his name on
the federal payroll. If he receives
the average wage for unskilled work-
ers he will get $46.50 a month.
The treasury will not handle John
Smith's paycheck in Washing~ton.
His check will be made out in a field
office and sent to him every two
weeks.
If WPA has agreed to furnish part
of the materials needed for Middle-
town's sewer, they will be purchased
by a treasury field office and deliv-
ered to the job site. Middletown's
engineer will cooperate in supervising
construction work.

IN THIS CORNER
By MEL FINEBERG
The following column was written by
Harry L. Sonneborn of the Daily editor-
ial staff, who has been threatening us
with it for a long, long time.-M. F.
L ADIES and genmen (as the Old
Architect would put it), this is
the first sports column we have ever
attempted. As news reporter and
editorial writer on The Daily and
on innumerable high school and
extra-curricular publications for lo,
these many years, we have treated of
politics and poker games, sewing
circles and subversive propaganda,
but this is absolutely our initial ef-
fort into the field of reducing the
thrillers and the chillers of the dia-
mond and the gridiron to cold type.
And, although we have played
a little ball with the boys now
and again, our viewpoint is re-
stricted to the typical innocent
naivete of the grandstand quar-
terback. And our column today,
will be restricted to the typical
remember-when sort of bull ses-
sion that the Boys In The,
Bleachers would rather partici-
pate in than hold Annie Oak-
leys to a title bout.
It seems that our involuntary first
contact with the field of sport came
along in 1920, when we lived next
door to one Old Pete, a gentleman
who played ball under the name of
Grover Cleveland Alexander. Old
Pete was doing right well about that
time, and it sore distressed us to
read in the papers about two years
ago that Old Pete had been found in
a Chicago gutter, a broken hulk of a
man whom the crowds once cheered.
As Babe Ruth so aptly put it, you're
a hero today and a bum tomorrow.
Even that may be an understatement.
Bang! Set 'em up in the third alley.
Along in 1928, Wichita Falls was
in the cellar in the Texas League.
There was nothing remarkable about
that, but there was quite a bt re-
markable about thde portly gentleman
who played left field for the Spud-
ders, as the club was called. This
portly gentleman, whose name might
better be left in the record books,
had once been up in the big time and
had etched his name in said record
books for good. But now he was slow
and aging. We saw him play, many
a warm afternoon, and the portly
gentleman never covered more than.
20 or 30 square feet of left field. Even
when he could get to the ball, it was
a herculean effort for him to get it as
far as the shortstop.
Why did the Spudders, keep
.him? The answer was in the big.
stick that the portly gentleman
carried. Despite his aging legs
and weakening eyes, he could
still tee off on the Texas League's
pitching. In 1928, the portly
gentleman batted .325 and hit
the encouraging total of 22 home
runs. We would not be a bit sur-
prised to learn that he is still
playing left field for somebody.
And we'll never forget the opening
game of the '29 season in Cleveland.
We've long since forgotten who
Cleveland opened against, but the
first batter was a young rookie play-
ing in his first major league game.
And on the first ball pitched he put
everything he had behind his swing.
As American League pitchers have
found since, the home run that re-
sulted was no fluke. The young
rookie's name was Earl Averill.
Another opening day we'll long re-
member was the 1935 opener in De-
troit. It was a raw. April day that
seemed more like February, with a
small turnout and lots of overcoats.
The big young fellow who started for
Detroit was reputed to be a hot-
weather pitcher, and was counted on
to help the Tigers toward another
pennant. But he looked stiff as he
tried to warm up that day. It was
just too cold to pitch, tie bleacher-
ites solemnly agreed.
The big young fellow went out
on that mound, as we recall, and
set down the opposition with four
hits. He was not just good, he
was great, that year.
Right now he's trying to stick with
Beaumont in the Texas League, He's
26 years old, his nane is Lynwood
Rowe, and it looks like he's all
through.
But now. we'll get away from these
tears for the greats that are gone,
and tell you about one of the biggest
letdowns any baseball crowd ever ex-
perienced. It was late in the 1935
season, and the Tigers of Detroit ,were
on their way to a world's champion-
ship, with their Battalion of Death
infield, and their three O-men, Geh-
ringer, Greenberg, and Goslin, driv-
ing in the late-inning runs that were
winning the games. It .so happened
that 'Detroit was playing the lowly
Philadelphia Athletics on: the day in
question, and the, score, was all tied
up at three runs each as the A's came
to bat.in the ninth.
Somehow or other they managed
to score three runs, and then some-
how the Tigers managed to score
three runs. That's the kind of a ball
game it was, just the kind a crowd
loves.
Both teams settled down to
some pretty tight baseball until
the 14th inning, with the score-
board still showing six. runs to
six, when Philadelphia, guided
by the genius of Mr. Cornelius
M~c~illicuddy and the fickle hand
of fate, scraped out three more
runs by dint of a couple of er-
rors, a misplay, a base on balls,
some smart base-running, and
just one single.. The crowd rose
up in righteous indignation and

1OW John Smith' Receives His
Share Of WPA's $1,425,000,000
WASHINGTON,' Aug. 13.-(/)-
Men out of work-flat broke-are
living in river shanties, prairie shacks
and city slums, worrying about food
and clothing for their wives and
children.
In Washington, there is $1,425,000,-
000 to put the unemployed to work.
To bring these men and this mon-
ey together is the business of the
Works Progress Administration, aided
by cities and states.
Here's how the job is done, as fed-
eral officials describe it:I
In Middletown, U.S.A., John Smith
finds himself down on his luck. He
hasn't had a job in months. The
money's all gone. His wife wants to
know how he expects her to feed
four children on air.
He goes first to the Middletown Re-
lief Agency, run by the city. A case
worker hears his story, and takes
his application. Someone may visit
his home to check the facts. Then,
the case of John Smith goes before
the local board. On the board may
be John Smith's minister, the family
doctor or the man who sold him
groceries.
If the board is satisfied he can-
not carry on alone, it will order his
name put on the relief rolls. That
doesn't mean John Smith gets a job.
He may get some cash or some food
and a rent check from state funds.
But John Smith is strong and
knows how to work. So the Middle-
town Relief Agency passes his name
along to the local office of .WPA.
Middletown still plays a role.. Itf
doesn't want John Smith and others
on the relief rolls, supported entirely
by state and local funds. Can WPA{
find work for them?,
There is the run-down sewer over
on the East Side. If the city hadt
money to put in a new one, John1
Smith could go to work. So the cityI
asks WPA aid for the sewer. f
Middletown's engineer designs af
sewer and estimates its cost for the '
WPA representative. He also tells
how much of a contribution the city
would be willing to make.
The local WPA office reviews the
plan legally, structurally, economic-
ally. Approved, it is passed on to
the State Administrator, who fits it
into the state or regional budget--
provided he finds there are enough
unemloyed in Middletown to do the
job.
The application moves on to Wash-
ington for approval by the WPA Ad-
ministrator and the budget bureau.
Then it gives to the White House for
the President's signature.
But the project is not started yet.
That will be up to the State Admin-
istrator. Each State Administrator
keeps on hand a sizeable back-log of
approved projects. From that re-
serve, he selects projects to fit his
budget and the employment needs of
the communities.
When he allocates money for Mid-
