THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Dewey Ready For Drive On Policy Game (Continued from Page 1 ) 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 By ABanquet (Continued from Page 1) 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.

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. ELECTED CORRESPONDENT Prof. Warner F. Patterson, of the romance languages department, has been elected associate correspondent of the Academic de Aix en Provence, one of the best known of the French provincial academies, it wasran- nounced yesterday. fill" 7 + 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 (Continued on Page 4) 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.
