 Jones took the lead away from 1s- year-old Sidney w. Moves, Yale freshman, who carded sensational 3S-32-70, even par.
 The triple champion was in fine form and experienced trouble only on four holes. Twice he was in traps and twice in the rough, but over par on only one hole, the 37S yard eleventh, where his drive found deep rough and he failed to find the green with his second. He offset this with birdies on the 10th and 18th, sinking butts of A and 12 feet re- spectively On five other greens Jones Tipped the cup with long puts. Oth- erwise he would have administered a fine beating to old maa par.

 After an inspection, it was decided to use the regular green on the 125
 
 of rust that have spoiled a large part of it. It was found the pin could be placed so as to minimize the putting hazards of the dried out parts of the green.
 The gallery increased rapidly and there were fully 150Son hand when Jones, paired with Emery Stratton of West Newton, Mass, went to the first tee shortly after 8 a. m.
 The big parade was moving ahead of schedule and under thorough con- trol, with a detachment of United States marine aiding the local con- stabulary and and Pennsylvania state police.

24 Brokerage Houses to Testify.
 Toledo, Sept. 22 P-Arthur M Hyde, United States secretary of agriculture, who revealed Saturday that the Soviet government had sold short millions of bushels of wheat on the Chicago grain market, said here today the governments investigation of three Chicago grain houses showed sales double the amount at first admitted by the Russians.
 Under Way for Months
 Secretary Hyde also said that it was at first reported the Soviet government had been in the market only a. few days, while indications, from the hurried investigation made, are that the manipulations have been under way for months.
 He expressed pleasure that the Chicago board of trade is undertak- ing it's own investigation but said the American people could feel sure that no effort will be left undone by the government to trace the whole story of the Soviet activities in the American grain market. He indicated that only start in the investigation has been made.
 Thorough Check Promised
 At first" he said, "the Russians admitted to only five million of short selling and said it was a mat ter of days that they had been ac- tive. Our investigation of just three hours convinced us that the amounts are much larger and have ex'&nded over longer duration. We have found sufficient evidence to warrant a thorough investigation"

GOLF COURSE COST
 UP ID PARK BOARD Question Of Profit to Be Dis
 cuSsed Tomorrow Night NEW RECORD SET SUNDAY
EllingwOod Claims Receipts Are Less Than Expense and Lamphier Expresses Opposite Opinion Concessionaire May Quit

Park commissioners at a meeting tomorrow night will attempt to ar rive at decision whether the muni- cipal golf course is profitable pro- ject or whether the expense is in evcess of receipts.
 With the total of 4,195 persons playing the course at 35 ceRts round, and the additional sale of 23 books at s2.50 each since course opened has been s1,625.75, which includes s100 from Charles Bern- stein for the concession.
 Officials Disagree
 Park Superintendent Clyde M. Ellingwood states that the cost of maintenance is in excess of $500 per week, which would subtract from this total s1,20O, leaving d balance of $626.75. AS against this MT. Ellingwood says there is an ex- pense for supplies such as top soil fertilizer, seed and supplies not in cluded in the $500 weekly, which will run well over s700.
 Park Commissioner Edwin P. Lamphier, Jr.,. chairman of the golf committee states however that fig ures can be made to prove either a loss or a gain.
 MT. Ellingwood, he says, is charging against the maintenance cost, certain items which really be- long to capital investment. 1nclud- ed in this, he points out, were a number of permanent improvements and the use-of additional labor prior to the opening.
 Report Berstcin Would Quit
 That Mr. Bernstien has not found the concession the bonanza Ne hoped he would be is an open se- cret although the concesSonaire himself declined to talk today, be- yond admitting that he proposed to attend the special meeting of the park board tomorrow night.
 Asked. about reports that he wants to be relieved of his contract, MT. Bernstein replied "I'll tell you tomorrow night"
 Park officials again point out that MT. Bernstein could do more bus mess there than he does. They say there have been occasions when re- treatments were not available at the refreshment stand at No. 6 hole, and that yesterday sales were lost because merchandise called for was not in stock.
 Commissioner Lamphier, speak ing about the general proceeds of the course, said yesterdays profits were slightly higher than at Meri- den, where the municipal course is said to be financial success.
 Attendance Records Broken
 All previous records, both for the number of rounds played and the low score on the course, were brok- en at the municipal golf course yes- terday when 347 persons played the course in one day and two profess sional golfers went around in less than par.
 A total of 524 persons played the course Saturday and Sunday, mak- ing total of 4,195 rounds at 35 cents round since the course opened a month ago. In addition
