MOE FACES RIVAL
 ID DEFEND GROWN
Western Amateur Golf ChaIn-
 pionship Prize at Stake

Chicago, III. July 23 P-The tussle for the western amateur golf crown, worn by the youthful Don Moe of Portland, Oregon. swept in 10 the match play grind today with a strong, internationally-f favored field in the fight.
 Facing the young champion were at least a half dozen campaigners able to give an argument in almost any kind of a tournament. They included the two Britons, Cyril Tol- ley and T. Phillip Perkins, Chick Evans and Johnny Lehman of Chi . cago, who teed out l4S for the med al in the 36 hole qualifying round; Keefe Carter of Oklahoma City, for fer champion, and Bob McCrary, fighting two trans Mississippi cham pionships in succession.
 From the standpoint of real threats, it probably was the fastest field in the tournaments B years of play.
 Moe, spared the task of qualify ing, faced an experienced golfer as his first rival in Vince Huntington of Chicago who breezed into the qualifying bracket yesterday with a l55 total. Moe ranked a big fav- orite naturally. but his game has been slightly off color since his re- turn from the Walker Cup wars in England and Huntington expected to stop his march before he got started.

 On Washington Herald

Washington, July 23 (UP) - A woman whose family for three gen. erations has been outstanding in journalism today assumed the title of editor-in-chie of the Washington Herald
 Mrs. Eleanor Medill Patterson, granddaughter of the founder of the Chicago Tribune, thus becomes the first of her sex to hold such a posi- ton on a metropolitan newspaper. She will begin her new duties Au- gust 1.
 The task which Mrs. Patterson takes over will not be entirely new to her, nor is the scent of printers ink strange to her. She has done considerable newspaper work and in addition has written several novels. She signed these latter as Coun- tess Gizycka, title she received on her first marriage. Her second hus- band, Elmer Schlesinger, a lawyer, died several years ago.
 Mrs. Patterson has long been anx- ious to engage in newspaper work here and sought to buy the Herald. but was unsuccessful. In the an- nouncement made today by the Hearst organization, which owns the Herald, it was said Mrs. Patterson will work as editor of the Herald under a regular Hearst contract" The announcement said the new edi- tor should be successful and inter esting."

 With modern frills to make the endurance contest more thrilling, especially for the spectators, the boys will have a refueler. This will be Alice Morley, sister of Harold She will bring food to the boys whenever they need refueling, and the best part of her job is that she will not have to take a sky ride in an airplane to reach the contestants.
 Of course, there may be many air-minded men and women who. watching the endurance flight. will feel disposed to help refuel the two boys, and chocolate bars, peanuts, sandwiches and pop, all being very important fuel, will not be declined by the contestants.
 If these boys break the Nasilias- Bonola record, the latter kiters will imediately go into strict training for crack at the new record. There being no limit on size of kite, shape or length of tail. the sky is the linn it now fer New Britain kite flyers. To make it safe for democracy ir New Britain the ages of all kite fiji CTS for endurance records is limited to Is years.

BogdanoV Wants AmtorS Trad.
 ing Corp. Cleared in Probe

New York, July 23 P-Peter A. Trading Corporation. said in a sta.o- ment today that development or even continuation of Russial- American trade. which now amounts to more than s1oo,ooO,o00 a year, would be rendered virtually impos- sible unless accusations against the company were thoroughly investigat- ed and proved groundless.
 Representative Hamilton Fish. Jr., chairman of the special congression- al committee investigating commI- mist activity in the United States, before which Bogdanov's statement was read, promised that all accu5a- tions against Amtorg would be delV- ed.
 Claims Business Hurt
 Not only was further development of Russian-American trade threat ened by the accusations he mention ed. Bogdanov said, but already cer- tain American firms had declined
  these rumors and that therefor e these purchases had had 10 be made il Europe.
 Bogdanov specifically mentioned statements by Grigory Bessedovs',E, former Soviet charge de affaires at Paris; Grover Whalen when he was police commissioner of New Yo"". and Mathew Woll. vice president Of the American Federation of Labo~, who testified a witness before this committee.

Speakine $ g
 of Sports

Rain forced the postponement of the Industrial baseball league games last evening and fans who were eagerly awaiting the important Gasco- Stanley Rule contest will have to wait while longer.
 This game will be played at Wal nut Hill park on Friday evening, according to present plans, and a large crowd is expected. If the Rulers win they will keep on the heels of the league leading Corbin nine, but if the Gascos come through the race will be practically all over.
 The Sokols will practice at the Washington school grounds from s to s o'clock tomorrow night.
 Our idea of a real pitcher is Phil Collins, who is up among the lead ing hurlers in the National league despite the fact that he is with the tail-end Phillies. Collins has been coming through all season, and yes terday he was not content to win the game with his twirling, but had to go out and hit two homers and a single just to show how much a one-man ball team he is.
 Anybody who can win consistently for the Phillies deserves the leagues most valuable player award.
 A league is being organized by the teams in the fifth ward, and it is planned to give the proceeds to General Haller post for its veterans relief fund The Burritt, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross. and Republican teams are expected to join in this public-spirited enterprise, which, be- sides aiding the ex-servicemen, should produce some good baseball and some sav;>aly fought games.

POLICE STUDY
ROHM BULLET

RICHMOND, Va, May 19.-
New evidence, which is being
carefully guarded by police. has
been discovered in the murder of
Harry Rohm, wealthy leather
deader who was slain in the hall
way Of his home, some time late
last Monday night.
This was indicated at police
headquarters here today follow
ing the filing of a report by the
Bertillon expert who made a min
ute examination of the bullets
taken from the slain mans body
and several weapons which might
have been used by the killer.
While a number of plausible
leads have been followed by
police, all have collapsed in the
greatest murder mystery in the
history Of Richmond.
Police were at first inclined to
the belief that Rohm was shot
sometime after 10 o'clock at
night by a man that surprised
MIN and a married woman in the
RohHn house.
The theory is now advanced
that the actual Staying took place
between $40 and $50 o'clock as
it was during this 20 minutes
that a man called Rohm several
times and was told that the line
was out of order.
Considerable Importance is still
attached to the death threat
made to Rohm few days before
the killing.
The threat police say was made
by a married man who had
warned Rohm to cease his atten-
tionS to his wife on pain Of
death. Further developments are
promised by police today,

TARIFF
COMPROMISE

Administration leaders sought
permission today from the Senate
to free the hands Of it's tariff
conferees in the conference be-
tween House and Senate over the
two disputed provisions. With
the Senate conferees free to
arbitrate, there was hope of
prompt compromise through
abandonment of the debenture
and slight modification Of the
Presidents present power to raise
and lower tariff duties.
The Democratic-InSurgent coali-
ton in the Senate. however, fought
all suggestions Of compromise. It's
leaders declared the debenture
and flexible repeal were the two
most important provisions in the
bill, far more important than
any of the rates. They insisted
upon separate votes by the
Senate, directing it's conferees to
hold out to the end" for in
cluSion of both provisions in the
pending bill
Both sides planned a heated
debate during the day on the
two disputed provisions. There
were indications the debate might
run over into tomorrow's session
before the votes are taken.
