FOR YACHT

NEW YORK, July 22.-The
fabulous sums being tossed over
board in quest and defense of the
Americas cup was increased to-
day by a mere $4,000 when the
Thorne- Hammond syndicate yacht
Whirlwind, was appropriated that
sum for repairs to put her back
in the running against her three
competitors, Enterprise. Weeta-
moe and Yankee.
Seagoing surgeons held another
consultation over WhirlwindS s
mahogany hull and decided that
an operation would be necessary
almost immediately. And almost
Immediately the work was started,
at an estimated price of $35, 200.
But this is only half the bill that
Whirlwind's owners win have to
foot before she starts back to New
port to reengage in the cup elimi-
nation thialS.
She will be fitted with new
sails before heading Eastward
again and these will set her
Synicate back about $4,000.
And all this in the race Of an
almost certainly that Whirl-
wind has no chance whatever
of being designated the defen.
der of the America cup.
Money must be plentiful In
American cup circles.
Today'S operation on Whirl-
winds million-dollar hull is the
second she has undergone in the
Robert Jacob ship sanitarium at
City Island. These alterations
are being made in a frantic last
minute effort to make her the
shipper Designer L. Francis
Herreshoff hoped she would be.
L. Francis is the son OF
Nathaniel HerreShoff, designer of
all Americas Cup defenders since
1898.
WhirIwind'S mast is being
moved forward today n dis
tanCe of 20 inches. In her
original major operation,
performed at the Jacob yard
three weeks ago, the tall spar
was moved up just that dis
tance.
Today's operation is expected
to make or break" her, It was
also hinted at the Jacob yard
this morning that the advance
ment of the stick toward the
bow would make necessary the
addition of a bow spirit. If this
is so she will be the only one OF
the four potential cup defenders
to have bow spirit.

MOSCOW. Feb. Is. W.p)-Meet-
ings of factory workers have been

test against the growing campaign
of western churches against the

views the foreign attitude as one
more indication of international
preparations for war against her.
The Soviet makes no secret of its
policy toward religion and the
churches. Demolition of cathedral,
monastery or chapel generally is
made a public function, with mass
meetings and speeches.
Furthermore. Soviet officials
proudly point to. the fact that many
of the former religious edifices
have been turned into schools, clubs,
theatres and children's homes. The
leaders call this Couture instead of
superstition.

Wednesday

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. tU.R)-
Secretary of Interior Wilbur is pre-
pared to proceed with the letting OF
contracts for Boulder dam power ne
announced today after conference
with members of the house ana sen
ate irrigation committees.
The conference was called by VIII
bur in an attempt to effect agree
ments between members Of the COM
mittees. VIII o must eventuany
pass on the validity of the contracts.
Senator johnson, Republican, Call
fornia, urged Wilbur to go forward
: with administration of the act, de-
spite divergent opinions regarding
! allotment of power and water. TO
delay longer would intensity those
, differences, Johnson said.
Senators Pittman, Democrat, ana
Oddie. Republican, of Nevada, OBJ
.iected to the secretary's power al
location, holding Nevada was entit-
led to at least one-third of the power
produced at the dam by virtue of
"the seven-state compact" Wilbur
has allotted the state but 18 per cent
of the power. with the privilege of
absorbing 4 per cent of that assign
ed Arizona if that state has no need
for it.
After the conference, Wilbur said
he was unable to predict what
change will be made in his tentative
ALLEGATION, adding "there must be q
series of compromises where there
are so many conflicting conten-
tions."
He said that the smaller munich
. palities will probably receive larg-
! or share of the power than at first
contemplated.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. Is. W.n)-
Admitting some progress and expect.
ant of further success in their at
temps to settle differences on divis-
, ion OF Colorado river water, the com.
mittee Of 10 picked delegates
from CALIFORNIA; tri-state confer

! here Wednesday.
While members Of the commits
sions representing the Metropolitan

} interests, refused to discuss the
. meetings of the past week here, it
, was indicated that some concessions
had been made by both factions.
The delegates adjourned yester-
day to talk over results of the con-
ferences with their respective inter-
. ests and individual members express
, ed hope that some agreement may
!, be reached when their discussion is
resumed next week.
, Inability of the two groups to
agree on how California's allotment
of Boulder dam water shall be split,
was held partly responsible for the
failure of tri-state conferences at
Reno and Phoenix recently.
The Imperial Irrigation District
: has been holding out for 100000
aere-feet of water, while the Metro
politan Water District remained
adamant on its demand for 1.100, 900
acre-feet.
