CHEMISTS created a new indus

producing synthetic resins. These

sockets and similar parts of radio
sets (Bakeite, consensite, red

among the trade names for these

Bars Death Penalty

NHE state of Michigan turns
l. down capital punishment.
Whether that was the most i'm
portant decision made by any group
OF people on Monday, it certainly
was one Of the most gratifying.
This is especially true because
the state of Michigan acted, not
on impulse, but after ninety years
OF successful administration of JUS
tlce without the death penalty.
There has not been an execution
IN Michigan since Andrew Jackson's
time, yet its record of law enforce
ment will compare favorably with
that of any other American state.
In this connection, it seems to be
a well-estabIished fact that order
depends far less on what people
do to each other by way of pun
ishment than on the moral support
they give it.

American Backers of Lakes,
River Project Are Optimistic;
Treaty Plans Held Advanced

Favorable developments in the
long struggle for the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence seaway has con-
vinced leading American hackers
of the project that it is today
nearer realization.
Although the Canadian govern
ment has openly taken no action
toward negotiating a treaty for
the seaway, the Bennett regime
has indicated it is about ready
to seek a final agreement, and
pressure from western Canadian
interests is increasing.
Henry j. Allen, former Senator
from Kansas, who is president OF
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
Tidewater Association and Charles
P. Craig, vice president, both
voiced optimism.
Conference with Hoover
Canada, according to Minister
William Duncan Herridge, desires
to negotiate a treaty through
diplomatic channels instead OF
commissioners.
The Canadian minister has re.
turned to Ottawa with HanfOrd
MacNider, American minister,
after a conference here with
President Hoover and Acting Sec,
retary of State Castle. Presum'
ably Herridge carried renewed
assurance of the American Gov
ernment'S eagerness to write a
treaty.
The SeaWay is estimated to
cost $440,O00,00O, and is already
half built, according to officials
of the Great Lakes association
U. S. Quota Short
Canada has spent $l56,000,00O
and the United States $45. 100000
On the basis Of the United States
bearing two-thirds the cost of
the seaway, the American Govern,
ment would have to provide $248..
100000 and Canada is $9,000,00O

A development being closely
watched by American interests is
an investigation of the Beauhar
nOiS Canal and hydrO-electric con
cessiOns in Quebec. Some engi
neerS have asserted this develop
ment would retard the Seaway.

TENNIS
PRO MEETS
RICHARDS

FOREST HILLS. N. y, July IL,
Karel Kozeluh, the ia m ou S
Czechoslovakian who came to
the United States two years ago,
hailed as the worlds greatest
tennis player, has found America
an unwholesome place for his
reputation
During those two years Winnie
Richards and Big Bill Tilden have
beaten Karel so often that the
folks back home in Europe no
longer believe he is the No. l
man of the tennis world, which
is like brine on KoZeluh'S wounded
feelings, for the Czech was mighty
proud of his "invincibility."
This afternoon at Forest Hills,
he'll probably have to eat some
more humble pie. He meets
Richards for the 'steenth time
when they clash in the semi.
final round of the national pro-
fessional tennis championships,
and Winnie, defending the title
he took away from Kozeluh last
September, is a strong favorite
to beat the Czech.
Kozeluh ran into all sorts OF
trouble yesterday putting Frank
Hunter out in the quarter-final
round, while Richards was sailing
through straight-set victory over
Bobby Sellers, Tildens youthful
fellow transformer.
Richards is playing right at
the top of his form. 1t took
him more than two hours to
Subdue Kozeluh in their 1880
final. Don't be surprised if his
vollies and smashes finish the
Czech off in a lot less than
that today.
The other semifinal brings to-
gether Big Bill Tilden, and
not Albert Burke. the British
pro" as expected, but Howard
o. Kinsey, the Californian, who
made the loop drive famous, IN
stead.
Kinsey upset the dope when he
put Burke out in four sets ano
he showed enough in doing SO
to warrant the prediction that
he will make lot OF trouble 1or
Tilden.
After the finalists in the
singles have been determined, the
semifinals in the doubles will!
then be contested. Kozeluh and
Burke will team up against
Richards and Kinsey in one
match, and Tilden and Hunter
will oppose Emmett Pare ano
Seller in the other.
