PRESIDENT OF
ECUADOR OFFERS
TO QUIT POST
Congress Refuses to Accept
Ayora's Resignation
in Crisis.
b. United Press

BIZ United Press
QUITO, Ecuador, Sept. 30
President Isibro Ayora remains
determined today to relinquish the
presidency Of Ecuador, despite an
unconditional vote Of confidence
given him by full session OF con-
gress and refusal of congress to &C
cept his resignation.
Ayora regarded his resignation as
the only means of saving the coun-
try "from its present crisis"
Premier Julio Moreno, also secre-
tary of the interior, had resigned
before President Ayora announced
his own resignation.
Colonel Carlos Guerrero, who sue
ceeded Moreno as minister OF the
interior. will assume the presi-
dency if congress accepts Ayora S
resignation.
Quito appeared nervous during
the political developments, and
there was considerable activity
around the barracks, but there
we're no disturbances.
The part military leaders played
in Ayora's resignation remained
obscure. While it was reported
of6ciallv that they had sought to
persuade the president to remain
in Office, the rise III power OF
Colonel Guerrero within forty eight
hours is obvious.
Ecuador has been troubled with
financial and business depression
and political rivalry between the
coast. the producing section OF the
country, and the Sierra region
causing considerable bitterness.

left with the right. He Is inclined
TO throw his right side around on the
down swing where either q bad slice
or ball hit far to the left will result.
In the ease of Jones, Mac Smith,
Horton Smith, Armour and others you
could see that the left hand and arm
remained in control until just before
the ball was hit. And when at last
the right hand applied the final punch
the left still retained its place. 1t was
not swept aside, crowded of the line
Of flight. It was firm at the moment
Of impact, holding the clubhead along
the right line.
The average golfer makes little or
no use of his left hand. The strong
hand hitting or swinging forward takes
charge of his stroke. He would be bet
ter of playing the game with the
right hand. But the winning golfer
in any big tournament has deep respect
for this left hand and arm. He takes
the club back with the left hand.
The left hand is still in control
on the start Of the down swing and
he keeps the right out as much as
he can until both hands swing into
action through the final sector of the
swing. And this is something else the
average golfer can work on to his most
distinct advantage. If he is looking for
better scores, and is getting bit SICK
of bunkered existence.
