Roland's bid for distinction in
this section has been steady
and earnest and under the bal
ancing influence of his father,
Albert Mackenzie, he has come
about naturally. He was not
rushed to perfection, neither
was he allowed to become stale
or overturned to the task.
Those who saw Mackenzie
paired with Miller STEVENSON
against Jones and Watts Gum
over at Washington Golf and
Country Club last Sunday,
knew from the outset that Ro-
land belonged in that dis
tinguished company from At
lanta and that he would COM
pare we'll with his fellow coun-
trymen when the Muirfield
matches are actually being set
tied.
Although the Walker Cup
will not be disputed for nearly
a month yet, that event is the
sole subject of conversation
around Washington locker rooms
wherever golf is breathed.
A real sense of pride seems
to have come over Washington
devotees in the knowledge that
one out Of their ranks has gone
forth tn almost the very land
in which the game was born,
to wrest a highly coveted
honor. !.

Unless something very spectacu-
lar happens, Rena Levy is nicely
set for the all-event prizes and
money. Last night Rena rolled a
331 game in the class A singles Of
the Washington Ladies Duckpin

being run off at the Coliseum,
bringing her total pins for doubles,
singles and team rolling way above
everyone else.
Another upset occurred when the
Specials, rolling In class @, bOwled

tatfon from second place and drop

class not lowered by the activities
Of last night. jenkins, with a 296,
takes second place; Forney, with
292, third, and Ingraham. with 279,
fourth. These scores put L., Sullt-
van, Tuohey and Wagner into fifth,
sixth and seventh places.
"Broncho" Qualities and Quigley
came through with $50 in their
doubles. which gives them third
place in that event, while the 5S7
rolled by Thomas and Greevy ties
them with Levy and Loehl for
fourth place.
. Class C doubles experienced a
change last night, also. Edenton
and Abronivitz turned in a 543
which gives them second place in
that event, setting Sorsette and
Perry, and Fox and Carr back to
third and fourth places respectively.
It Is expected that Thursday
night will see the close Of this fifth
annual tournament, which has been
the biggest and most satisfactory

WASHINGTON Letter
By " ESDaley
:sst IDnoall sssocniros sa.cisl

Washington, Dec. 15.-Ambition of
men for high political office contri-
butes more than any other factor to
the turmoil in Congress. If it we're
possible to capture the numerous
presidential bees" that are being re-
leased by fond friends and control
the lame ducks, it would then be
possible to enact legislation which is
highly desirable and necessary for
the public good. 1t is almost i'm
possible to start discussion on ma
jor legislation without having the
subject hopelessly entangled with the
ambitions of certain men for the
Presidency. Every native-born
American school boy, at some time or
another, entertains the hope that some
day he will be selected for the dis
tinction, and the fond parents usually
encourage the desire. The passage
of years, however, brings a realiza-
ton that the childish ambition has
one chance in 100000 of mater
ialization.
Just now some profess to detect in
farm relief activities of Frank o.
Lowden, former governor of Illinois,
deliberate design to provide him
with background for fostering his
presidential candidacy in 1928. The
same is claimed for Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, in his support of bus
mess organizations. Likewise, every
crnoah Of a .c
carefully scrutinized i'm an effort to
discover the beginning of presiden-
tial boom. 1t is also true that
whenever private citizen, whose
record is considered enviable, and his
personal integrity unquestionable, the
tide changes as he is mentioned or
groomed for public office. Faults
which had never been noted previous
ly are considered glaring, as his can
didacy reaches impressive proper
tons. Examine the records of men
now in public office and you will
be convinced. ------5
The general legislative situation is
confusing to observers. Claim is
made that the three months remain
ing of the Sixty-ninth Congress are
too short to accomplish much in the
way of important lawmaking. There
is too much diversion provided by the
lame duck" members of Congress.
1t may be explained that this term
is used to describe Senators or Con-
gressmen who have failed to be re-
elected by their constituency. Many
the political world, and often bargain
with party leaders for patronage such
as appointments to Federal commits
sions, and in the case of certain rich
Senators assignments to diplomatic

posts are sought. That is given as
the reason why Mr.. Coolidge has been
tardy in sending up lists of appoint
ments for confirmation by the Senate
1t is doubtful that agricultural leg
islation will pass at this session.
Reports received this week show that
the anticipated alliance of the farm
group on the Republican side with
the Southern delegation has fallen
short. 1t was expected that the de-
preston in the South, due to the
cotton crop, would bring about a
united drive for the adoption of the
main features of the McNary-Haugen
farm bill. 1t is said that the COM
pulsory cooperative features of this
bill are resented by Southern planters
and political deals are off.
With the orgy of Investigations in
the campaign expenditure becoming
more unrestrained little is heard of
the World Court issue, which played
such an important part in the deli
berations of the first session of the
present Congress. If the Senate
spends all its time investigating quail
ifications of its members, it will have
no time for the nations business.
+ The radio legislation squabble
shows no signs of clearing. The
struggle for control of the air con-
tinues to grow, and fear is felt as to
the political outcome of temporary
radio legislation, which would give
electrical monopolies foothold in the
radio field. The Muscle Shoals power
and fertilizer project is again before
Congress for consideration. The
chances of having the matter settled
at this session are decidedly SLIM
The so-called independent groups"
of power organizations and the al
legged combine of the larger electrical
interests have locked horns and Con-
gress will probably adjourn without
settling the issues at stake: ..
The chairman of the committees in
charge of the Senate and House Of
flee Buildings are hard pressed these
days by demands for changes in Of
flee space. Many newcomers to
Washington are shocked and disap-
pointed to learn that the choice rooms
occupied by their predecessors are
not a part of their political inner
itance. AS in its other activities,
Congress assigns rooms based upon
seniority and committee service. The
newcomers are likewise attempting to
grab off all the Federal appointments
as patronage. Sometimes the sit
uation is extremely difficult to meet
as these pledges for political rewards
exceed the jobs available in Wash
ington official life.
