POLITICAL CAREER FOR BRADMAN?
Rumours In England
(Received May 28, 8.15 p.m.) London, May 28.
The* cricket writer of the Australian Associated Press says that, as a result of Bradman’s fluent topical speechmaking and his grip of current problems, rumours are current, especially in Foreign Office circles, that he -contemplates entering politics. This he flatly denies, adding that the idea is not even at the back of his mind.
A remark by Mr. Menzies, Australian Attorney-General, who is now in London, that “if Bradman enters politics I hope he will come in on my side,” seems partially responsible for the suggestion. Bradman has met socially a number of Foreign Office officials, who were surprised at his interest in and quick comprehension of international affairs.
