Even This Wouldn't Have Helped Him Win—Top-heavy favorite for the Kentucky Derby,
OLYMPIA brought grief to the thousands who had wagered on his chances by "running out of
gas" in the final couple of furlongs. In this picture OLYMPIA is seen getting a grooming
prior to the race. Unusual posture and distorted neck are, of course, due to the camera angle.
"Still the Peerless Jinx" is the
way one correspondent comments
on a recent column of ours, in
which we predicted that'Olympia
• might be the best colt in the Ken-
tucky Derby. In the same envelope
he—or it might have been she, (the
cat) --.encloses a form chart of the
Deep South classic showing how
the noble steed of that name finish-
ed a bang-up sixth.
("Bang-up" in this case means
bang-up trying to kiss the sixteenth
post, and if you want to know how
far that is from the wire, just try
to Iun it some time under your
own power.)
* * *
We were rather disappointed at
this comment. 1f we remember
correctly we wrote, after calling
Olympia, "now just see him bow a
tendon" or words to that effect.
Beck, there were no less than eight
high-strung highly -bred and im-
mensely valuable Thoroughbreds
that finished a lot later than
Olympia. So what does our corre-
spondent mean by calling us a
'Peerless" jinx.
* * *
If we keep up that sort of thing,
'follow Sixbits and he'll show you
the soft spots in the asphalt to
sleep in" will no longer have the
meaning it long has been honored
with.
* * *
But enough of horse -racing.
Let's turd to baseball, where we
find that, as usual, goons are bust-
ing out all over who are threaten-
ing to break all the hitting, fielding
and pitching records ever made
since Abner Doubleday got himself
immortalized by taking several
ancient sports known, variously, by
the names of rounders, one -old -cat,
send what -have -you, and synthesiz-
ing (we hope that's the correct
spelling) into something really
Avolutionary.
* * *
The revolution came when sev-
eral thousand earnest and ardent
believers in world -improvement
found out that by playing baseball,
and even more by encouraging and
paying others to play it under your
auspices. you could not only make
a soft living without undue toil,
but also do something grand and
noble for the youth and oldsters of
your country.
You saw, we hope, the account
of a speech which Frank Shau-
gnessy made at a recent baseball
banquet in which he said—if not
'misreported by the press, that
"baseball is the greatest moral
force we have in America."
* * *
For the moment, after reading it,
we were inclined to gag just a
little and reach for the baking -soda,
(For the exact brand of baking -
coda, see the advertising columns.)
* * *
But then we remembered how
'various ardent hockey apostles
Neve been getting away with rim -
/far lawn -spread at banquets and
«lsewhere, also how much we boys
in the press boxes used to get out
of watching "Shag's" lower limbs
kiln a perfect "O" every time one
Mee passed • the . other, so our
nausea spent itself.
* * *
Although we have eked out a
fair part of otir existence for the
past 25 or 30 years by writing on,
, out and aeglind epori< in various
moa sr vr'e still think that sport—
tspecially the professional variety
—is the most over -played thing
we 11,1ve on this side of the At-
lantic, :'lir'. it might go for the
%veil.
Still, in spite of this decidedly
sourish diatribe, we hope it won't
stop any of our readers—especially
the younger generation—from play-
ing any sort of game they really
enjoy. But only so long as they
really enjoy it.
For one of our most cherished
memories was one afternoon when
the late Lou Marsh and ourself
were side by side at a jam-packed
stadium watching an important
game, the exact nature of which
we won't divulge, only it was a
Dominion final. Outside the Sta-
dium we could see a bunch of kids,
in a nearby open space, having a
game of their own.
* *
"Six," said Marsh, "you go out
and tell those kids to come on in
and see the big game, and I'll be
at the pass -gate to see that they
get in." Just as bored as Lou un-
doubtedly was, we assented to the
proposition. "Heck, mister," said
the leader of the kids when he
presented the invitation, "we're
having too much fun right here to
go and watch a game that sound*
as lousy as that one inside." Lou
Marsh laughed his head off when
we told him; and we've been laugh-
ing over it every time we've thought
of it since.

GERMANY
On May 5th, the Russian Gov-
ernment made what appeared to be,
on the face of it, a really strikii fee
gesture in the direction of European
peace. It was in the form of an
agreement to lift the blockade
which, for ten months, had cut off
all land and water communication
between the Western zones and the
German capital, Berlin.
Within just a few days, however,
there was increasing doubt as to
whether this gesture was a move to-
ward a real settlement, or just an-
other move in the great interna-
tional game which had come to be
known as the "cold war."
These doubts arose out of the
fact that, as part of the bargain to
lift the blockade, the Big Four
Council of Foreign Ministers were
to meet in Paris toward the end of
May to discuss the entire German
question; and there was no doubt
that such a meeting would have a
huge task to face it.
There was the possibility that, at
this meeting, the Russians might
launch a new and militant attack
aimed at achieving their immediate
goal in Germany—the killing of a
Western Getman State. British,
American and French diplomats
Rresaw real danger, in spite of the
ussian gesture, they could see no
indication that there had been any

fundamental change in the conflict
between Communism and the West.
On the contrary, the Communist
victories in China would seem to,
indicate a stiffening of the conflict
in the Far East.
But in spite of all these doubts,
the agreement to lift the blockade
sounded a note of hope on both
sides of the "iron curtain." The
most dangerous point of East-West
friction was thereby removed; and •
in Russia, as reported in the Red -
controlled radio and press, there
was unrestrained joy in the public
reaction. The warmth of the Rus-
sian response was taken as a sign
that the heightening tension over
the Berlin blockade had caused in-
ternal unrest which the Kremlin
boys felt just had to be calmed..
GREAT BRITAIN
After seven lean years the ration-
ing of candy—or "sweets"—came
to an end in Britain and the gen-
eral public, especially the young-
sters thereof, started in on a grand
orgy. Long queues soon emptied the
shelves, and the shopkeepers were
faced with such a demand that they
had to start a sort of unofficial
rationing.
One London schoolboy, report-
ing, to NEWSWEEr., gave this
rather striking account of how
things stood,
"At school I was happy to see
every boy and girt in the whole
darn school stuffing candy into al-
ready overstuffed mouths and the
teachers telling the class 'Anyone
sucking or eating sweets, please
spit it out before the class begins.'"
Evidently, from such reports, an
elegant time was enjoyed by one
and all!
THE UNITED STATES
The United States national wage
"pattern"' is set in the four major
industries in which labor is solidly
unionized. This pattern directly af-
fects over three million in other in-
dustries.
T! four unions, together with
their timetables for the year, are as
follows:
United Mine Workers whose con-
tracts expire on June 30. Wage ne-
gotiations are scheduled to start
early in that month.
United Automobile Workers.
What happens to the negotiations at
Ford's—where the contracts expire
on July 15—are expected to show
just about how "the cat will jump"
at General Motors and other big
organizations.
United Steel Workers: Talks on
reopening contract begin around
June 15, with' strike action possible
any time after the middle of July.
United Electrical Workers:
Whose contracts were due to be
opened toward the end of May.
Since the war these unions have
won three "rounds" of wage in-
creases—each increase being an ef-
fort to bring wages into like with

eadily rising costs of living. But
This year, things are different. Cost
of living has declined. In many lines
production has caught up with de-
mand to such an extent that there
have been several real layoffs. As
a result the unions' "fourth round"
discussions have been emphasizing
long-range security rattler than in-
creased hourly wages.
Labor's position is about this;
security for the workers means
stable purchasing power, and stable
purchasing power is insurance
against a depression. Also, says
labor, companies can well afford to
pay the cost ant of their record
profits.
Management's position, on the
other hand, is something like this;
higher costs can only be met with
higher price; and at a time of in-
creasing buyer resistance would
mean slackening sales, lower pro-
duction and widespread unemploy-
ment.
In face of management's stand
against increased labor costs, there
has been much speculation as to the
mood' of the workers• Some think
that because of a general feeling of
insecurity, the workers will be re-
luctant to force their demand to the
striking point. But on the other
hand, others think that insecurity
will 'make the workers even more
than ordinarily aggressive. This
latter theory seemed to be borne
out by what happened at Ford,
where a technical grievance under
the present contract brought about
a strike which shut down the huge
Rouge River plant at Dearborn
and which, at the time of writing
this, was spreading slowly through
the entire Ford empire.
