Zurich Herald, 1949-05-26, Page 2There's A Sllmmerful of Fun Ahead of these happy youngsters with their' bright modem playthings, which are all made of strong vinylite plastic. Mothers hike the safety inherent in the softness of these toys. Their small size when deflated makes - for convenient packing. 'Colour -fast, ,they are easily inflated. The wading pool above serves as a fishing -hole for the moment, complete with tiny magnet -seeking fish. The Walt Disney character tent fits over :any standard -size card table. John Lardner, as you probably know, is a son of the one -and -only, the late and still lamented Ring W. Lardner. He greatly resembles his old man in personal appearance. Sometimes he writes very much like him as well. (And in our book there is no higher praise to be heaved at a. writer on sports.) In a recent issue of NEWVS- W EK, John has a very w'.tty column in which he tells how the late Joe Jacobs has achieved im- mortality by having his name ,and sayings—two of them— included m the latest edition of the classic "Bartlett's Fami'iar Quotations." Joe Jacobs, in case you•faiI to re - :member, was a noted manager of fighters, better known in ring circles as "Mussel the Muscle", who was around and about back in the days when pickings ip the box -fight racket were a lot jucier than they are at present—or than they are likely to be for some time, in our opinion. "Yussel", of course, is just a Yiddish nickname which any boy named "Joseph" night wear. But Jacobs gained the tag of "the Muscle" through his own unaided achievements, and it bespoke his matchless skill in the gentle art of "muscling in" and grabbing himself a piece of any fighter who looked to be on • his way to fame cad for- tune. principally the latter. * * Sotnc of Jacobs' methods in the muscling process would hardly have won hint high honors in .the Boy Scouts, or even Honorable ;Mention in a Church Sewing Circle. Still, he generally got his man, and always got the (10110, and -vent down to his grave famous as one of the sharpest operators where "every . man for theirself" is the first rule of conduct. TIL,. tint of 1'ussel's many notable sayings to be included in I\1r. Bart - let' collection is his "We was lobbed," a remark he was wont to emit a'most unfailingly any time a referee's decision went against one of his battlers. * * Still. in spite of John Lardner— and Bartlett --thinking it worthy of How To Get A Good Credit Rating #'07 •c)ah=c time the Globe and Mail Stas la co reprinting items which ap- peared in the Toronto Globe just 100 } are ago. From the issue of May 12, 1449, comes this item, which sated() be of interest to many, 4.`speriillly allose, in the printing and p..r:r e t l' b . publictrot;.; business, A New Fact Disclosed We were not aware until recently that the books of newspaper pub- lishers are consulted, to quite a large extent, by pedple in business to ascertain the pecuniary standing of persons. .Debts .for . newspapers come due once a year; and persons who pay up regularly are regarded as prompt men, and worthy of con- fidence. To ascertain whether a roan is good, they find out what paper he takes and contrive in some way to peer into the account. A shrewd observer of human nature said in a newspaper office . lately: "itxtve me a printer's boux. after all, to tell whether a man's good. They're a complete thermometer. .a .credit .thermometer. .We always know a man to be bad if he doesn't pay the printer." I'o which we can only add that vbilr t'1t' advice given is indubitably armful. welly printers wonder cvr'e a ttr the lapse of a remote. n11;,1y f; 11 to accept it. preservation, we personally have never rated it as higher than pos- sibly Grade B Pols. Long before Joe Jacobs was around it was a wide- spread custom of tight managers to use the plural instead of singular when speaking to one of their hired Help; in fact, "Go in and battle him kid, he can't hurt US" ante -dated Yussel by many years. But the second specimen of Joe's .dicta which Bartlett has included really deserves to be e'+nbalnleu m the records; and Lardner tells how he, personally, was present when it dripped from. the Jacobs' lips. Joe, like many of his ilk, was a renowned opponent of early ris ng and open- air exercise. Although he wasn't the author of the famous epigram, "Any guy who gets up before three P.M. is a night-watchman': he might well have bean.. *• * However, one October day, some miscreant persuaded Jacobs to jour- ney out to the :Detroit Bal. Park to see a World Series game. The after- noon was on the chilly side—in fact it was so cold that the fans stayed away in droves. For some four innings the shivering Jacobs sat in the windy Press Box where he was an invited guest. Then somebody asked him what he thought of the Great American pastime. * * * Yu.se:'s reply was short, pithy and to the point. Unclenching his store teeth• from the cigar they were chatteringly attempting to clench, Joe said, bitterly, "I sltoulda stood in bed." Then, looking neither to the right or the left, he took his depart- ure and headed, presumably. for the warm quilts. * * * So now Joe's "1 bhoulda stood In bed" is in .Bartlett—and our thanks to John Lardner for telling us they are there, and reminding us of the circumstances which prompted its utterance. * * * As you have probably noticed, we have been somewhat dilatory in pre- dicting the outcome of the Ding's Plate in detail. There 'r a reason for this. We hope that our pick;nt•s will reach some of you too late to take action on, to your later regret. :r *• Still, duty is duty, so here gods. And to make up for our tardiness we are going to give you a choice, mot only of horses, but of selectors. First, here are the views of a friend who has been picking them and playing thein, man and boy, for nigh on forty years; and with ,such not- abl.estiecetae ti3at he still Works hard at his trade everyday. Ile is 00 piker. He picks you not only the winner, but the place and show horses as well. He sees them coming in: 1, BUNTY LINE; 2, EPIC; 3, SPEEDY IRISH. He has so much faith in all three that he's going to play them that way, and we only hope he doesn't wear tight shoes as it's a long walk home. As for <,urself, we look for GEM THIEF to take; it ail; and we'd be prepared to wager all our wealth we're right, the only trouble being that they don't have wickets that take anything under two dollar bets.

American military authorities have been pointing. out the advantages of having Spain as a partner in the Atlantic defence system, and some Conservative Leaders are taking the same view. But -such an idea is stirring up considerable. dissent among the laborites, who consider it little short of a crime that Franco ,Spain should be pardoned without being in any way reformed, or that the nation w hich has suppressed all trade unions and crammed its jails with political prisoners should' be con- sidered as a possible ally with the west. "Britain and America protest when countries in Eastern Europe disregard the code of civil liberty," thundered The New Statesman and Nation editorially. "What semblance of moral and social integrity Would remain to the Atlantic Pact if it included Fascist "SA .in?" But where Spain is concerned there are other considerations which weigh with the British Government, in addition to American military views. For instance, reports have been circulatecl in London that one of Spain's top generals has offered ille United States its choice of any air base it wants in Spain, with prac- ticrlly no strings attached. But would Spaio be of any real value as in ally, in case of future war? That is to say, of more value than as a neutral. The Spanish army•is large but badly equipped. 'The transport system is chaotic, all railways having gone without major repairs since the civil war. And all the millions the United States would have to pour, into that country in order to bring it to anything like real effectiveness might better be stent, in the opinion of many, in strengthening Britain and France's defences. But the basic question goes much deeper than this. To the great mass of labor and liberal opinion in West- ern Europe, Spain is a major touch- stone of the '(t'est's real purposes, as one writer puts it. Therefore, are the nations of the Counr'1 of Eu- rope, whose charter eulogizes "indi- vidual freedom, political liberty, and the rule of law" going to admit as a partner into their midst a still un- repentant ally of Hitler and ' f toalld" e, lini? On the answer to that question a very great deal might depend— more than 1nn=t peo',le think, ISRAEL Although flushed with victory,' at• 1eaet tenlpor:]r••, over th•;r arab enemies, and regarding their ad- mision as a nation among nations, thoughtful citizens of Israel are worn' ulg over r ilii• t',re.'t of vont- monism. The economic position of the new nasion is by no means strong. Al- though, so far, there are only a few them sands- unemployed, first demon- strations of people demanding work and failing to find it have occurred at Hakirya and other places, and situs of possible future trouble are plain to he seen. The pressure of mass immigration on cumulative wartime shortages is sending the cost of living index constantly - higher. Nearly 60,000 initltil'ra'nts are Yvinlr in came:. All ships that can he accommodated at Haifa.. Tel Aviv and Jaffa are being unloaded: but few of these go away fully loaded. This is because the year's citrus craps have been disappointingly small. The export of potash from the Dead Sea has not been resumed. And the cracking towers and stor- at,e tanks of the Haifa oil industry stand silent and idle. To close the export-import gap Israel counts on two major sources of aid — the tourist industry, and hug voluntary contributions from world Jewry. When asked if he thought American Jews would con- tinue indefinitely to subsidize Israel, one banker replied, "They must, and they will." Israel prefers not coq thir;i what would happen in case of a tIniteti States depression, a waning of Zionist enthuisasm, or an internatiolhal crisis which would cut off Zionist funds.

GERMANY The peace of Europe, according to British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, depends on the solution of the German problem; and for the first time in four years Germans, of both the East and the West, feel that they are strong enough to in- fluence that decision. The Council of Foreign Minis- ters is now meeting in Paris, and the sessions are pervaded by a sense of the importance of German na- tional aspirations and political tides. Rightly or wrongly, many millions of Germans are convinced that their country is ready to get into the saddle and resume its place ito the grand parade. For the moment they do not appear• to be looking any farther than toward the reunion of East and West Germany, and the consequent emergence of a united nation which would be one of the first poewrs of Europe, and which could have a decisive effect on the outcome of the struggle against Communism. A united anti-Communist Ger- many of some 65 million people could tip the scales of the cold war in favor of the Atlantic nations. That same country, drawn into the Russian empire„ would place the Soviet frontier west of the Rhine and put the Western nations on the political and military offensive. And — like it or not — whether a united Germany can be induced to "face West" permanently, is the pe'ntary problem feeing Bevin and his American and French associates at the Paris meeting, It. seems to most of us what might almost be termed a "screw- ball" situation that we should he, in a sense, catering to the nation which twice within a quarter cen- tury set the whole world in hones, But then, it makes just about as much sense as a lot that happens in this seemingly cockeyed world.
