their efforts toward mediation of

ALBUQUERQUE. N. Mex. August
27.-Federal immigration officials plan
ned today to question further the
young man under arrest here who
claims to be Baron George Exter
Frederick Won Krupp, jr., a disowned
son Of the head of the krupp arms
factory in Germany. He admits
using the name George Adorjan
Gabor in the Eastern United States,
where he is wanted on bad check
charges.
In connection with his story that
he was disowned four years ago, went
to Hungary and became a Hungarian
citizen, under the name of Gabor, and
then came to this country as a col
lege student, immigration officials
hope to learn whether there may be
grounds for deporting him as an un-
desirable alien, if he has broken Amer
lean laws, as charged.
Will Waive ExtraditiOn.
The young man said last night he
would waive extradition to return to
Wilmington, Del. to face a charge
of issuing a bad check. He denied
over having cashed a check there or
in Pittsburgh. Nher~ he also is want
ed. Originally he was arrested in
connection with a bad check COM
plant, from Denver, but the complain
ant, an automobile agency official,
later refused to press the charges.
Investigators here are inclined, they
said, to place more credence In. the

MATCH, Plan

with six leading American golfers
going to England this summer,
it is learned that a suggestion is
made for an international profess
sionaI four-a-side match should be
organized.
One game of this character has
been played before that at Glen
eagles in 1921 when the British
team, led by George Duncan. won
by nine matches to three. with
three matches haived.
There is always q difficulty In
getting all the players together
for an event Of this kind, but two
big London clubs are trying to ar
range for the meeting to take
place Immediately after the open
championship.
The plan is that four Of the
chief American entrants in the
championship should take part in
a contest with four British players,
extending over two days, and de-
cided on the American tournament
principle leach of the four players
on one side meeting each member
of the opposing side over Is holes.
Each game would be played to
the last green, and the number of
holes up would count for the side,
the result being arrived at by the
total Of holes up obta1Ted by the
teams in the 16 matches.
