true II the player, after his first
nine or eighteen holes, happens to
be up among the leaders. The
nearer he is to the top of the
scramble the more wearing the
strain Is on his nerves.
And remember that this strain
continues through two whole days
OF play, through four eighteen hole
rounds of the course. In the open
championship some ten money
prizes are awarded. These begin
with a first prize of something
like $500, a second of $3.50. then
taper down to smaller sums. In

silver plate to the value of the
money prize.

 Regarding the proposal to reduce the overseas garrisons. he said, the reduction cannot be made without violating the soundest principles of security" frt
 The size of the peace garrisons recommended for Hawaii and the
 Canal Zone" General Persh- ing added, "is the minimum with which their missions can be perform cd. Any material decrease in their size will make them ineffective and possibly invite attack" 2
 The loss of the Panama Canal, the speaker declared, would be a blow to the pride of the American people, and, from a military point of view, would be greater blow than the loss of any other possession.
 The general emphasized the inn portance of adequately protecting tho Hawaiian and the Philippine islands, adding lhat "it must be remembered that the controlling fNtor in deter mining the strength of our overseas garrisons is not the iminenee of war, but the military value of these out posts in the general scheme Of de- fense of the continental United States in the event of war"
 Any further reduction" he con. cluded, twill introduce an unwar- ranted element of danger in our plan of national defense"

 YEAR EXTENSION
Austria Is Given 25 Years in Which to Repay Loan
 of $25,000,000

WASHINGTON, Mar. 29.-The joint resolution already adopted by the SCI ate authorizing a 25-year extension for payment by Austria of $25,0Gr for flour purchased through the Unit ed States Grain Corporation, was adopted late today by the house.
 The vote, 142 to 50, was taken after a bitter partisan debate and after the defeat of motion by vote of IS to 15 to send the measure back to the ways and means committee. Members advocating this move insisted action should not be taken until the subject was considered by the debt commis sion.
 " Representative Longworth, Republ. can. Ohio. in presenting the resolu- tion. said it released Austrian assets pledged for payment to the Ur States. if substantially all of the othef cerditor nations waived similar lien upon Austrian assets. The loan, h. said, rested upon an entirely different basis trom the allied loans and no in terest had been paid. because Austria lacked income sufficient to meet hel own government expenses.
 There was a round of applause from both sides of the chamber, when Rep resentative Walsh, Republican, Massa- chusetts, who offered the motion to re-commit, declared the time had come when congress ought to pay at tention to the needs of it's own people instead of trying to aid those who sought a few years ago to overthrow this government.
 You want us to do something just because some well-meaning ladies and some charitable organizations write appealing letters" Walsh shouted "We are not responsible for the condi- tions within our own borders. l, for one, object to the United States be- coming the almoner of the world"

DYE QUESTION CONSIDERED AT

In Attempt to Speed Up Work on Tariff, Committee Holds
 Long Night Session


 WASHINGTON, Mar. 29.-To speed up work on the tariff bil. senate f. nance committee Republicans held a long session tonight, considering the question of whether there shall be duties on dyes or an embargo as urg- ed by Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, a committee member. Senator Shortridge, Republican, California, chairman of the special committee Investigating charges of a dye lobby in Washington, was one of those heard.
 Odds an ends in the tariff bill oc. cupied the senators much of the time today and there seemed to be little prospect that their hope of completing the bill by Saturday night would be re- alized. In the last few days, a num- Der of subjects regarded as closed have been re-opened at the insistence of senators interested, and committee men said this has caused some unex- pected delay.
 While the completed bill probaly will not be ready for consideration by the entire committee, including the Democratic members, on Monday, the expectation now is that it vii be ready for presentation to the senate before the end of next week.
