CH|CAGOAN SAYS
He SAW ROBINS

CHICAGO, Sept. II. GNS)
Search for Col. Raymond Robins,
noted prohibitioniSt and friend of
President Hoover. was renewed
today as the result of a fresh re-
port that man resembling the
missing social service leader has
been seen on a Chicago street.
The report was submitted to
city detectives by Richard Smith,
who said he spoke to a person
he believed to be Colonel Robins
yesterday. Smith said he en-
countered the man near the City
Club. of which he is a member.
Smith said today:
"The man wore dark clothes
and a SlOuch hat. / saw Mr..
Robins in the club two years
ago.. 1 am sure it was he."
Smith said he re-entered the
club house to get Joseph Des-
mond, the assistant manager.
who has known Colonel Robins
for 20 years. Desmond accom-
panied Smith to the street to
identify the man, but he had
vanished. Smith said:
He must have run after I
noticed and spoke to him. A
man could not walk to the
street corner in the short time
l was in the club getting Mr..
Desmond to identify him."

DEPUTIES
Believed Seeking Good Will
of U. S. to Help Battle
German Demands
Copyright. 1882. by Interna tional
News Service)

PARIS, Sept. II Q.N.S).
France is ready to accept
President Hoover's proposal
for a one-third cut in arma-
ments, Premier Edouard Her
riot told the foreign relations
commission of the Chamber Of
Deputies this afternoon.
The Prime Minister'S announce
ment, entirely unexpected in
view of the fact that France had
headed the opposition to the
Hoover proposals and had caused
them to be pigeon-holed, was
made on the eve of his departure
for Geneva. where he will par
ticipate in the discussions of the
disarmament conference steering
committee next Wednesday.
Decision Puzzles
The deputies were frankly
puzzled. The first reaction in
the chamber lobbieS was that
the government either was seek
ing to obtain the support of the
United States in its opposition to
the German demand for arms
equality by accepting the Hoover
one-third reduction "in principle"
or that it feared defeat on the
German issue at Geneva and was
trying to make graceful retreat.
France. Herriot told the COM
mission, must maintain good re-
lations with the United States
and he was happy to say that
they were of the best.
No Separate Deals
Recently, he said, diplomats
had been extremely active in ex-
changes concerning the diSarma-
ment question "a reference to the
German aide memoire handed the
French ambassador at Berlin)
but France would only discuss
disarmament at the disarmament
conference at Geneva, which h11
been called into being last Feb
ruary for that very purpose.
He assured the deputies that
he would not treat with Germany
separately on the disarmament
issue, as Berlin had desired.

on Johnny Goodman, the fight
ing American, at the end of
IS holes this morning in their
final round match for the
National Amateur Golf cham

A sensational, eart-break-
ing struggle from the first, in
which stymies were laid indis-
criminately, long puts went in
from all angles, and chip shots
were holed, the Canadian
finally climaxed the exhibition
by holing a 50-foot putt for a
winning birdie at the eigh-
teenth to take the lead.
The lead changed hands often

round with a II, one over par,

Inc Quall1ylng rounds OF SO
holes for this section will be held
Thursday over the Columbia
Country Club course. Practically
every pro has announced his in
tention of being in the starting
field.
The Professional Golfers Asso-
citation has limited the qualifying
field at the championship to ia.
That policy is consistent with
the dictates of the United States
Golf Association, whose say is
final in all questions pertinent to
amateur golf championships Of
this country.
No Restrictions on Entries
The Professional Golfers Asso-
citation, however, places no re-
strictions on the number of en-
tries, so far as the applicant is
a member in good standing in
the association and is also so
kind enough to send along the
entry fee that holsters the asso-
cations treasury.
Nor does the United States
Golf Association mind the num-
ber of entries for the sectional
qualifying rounds of the open
and amateur, but order that the
qualkfiers for the championship
proper be kept down around $50.
OF course, the United States
Golf Association rules that no
amateur with a handicap higher
than four is eligible for the anna
teur or open championship, but
doesn't check on every amateur
entrant.
Ask Better Rights
Many amateur golfers believe
that the number of qualifiers for
the amateur and open should be
raised to at least 200. This
won't happen until the clubs
lodge protests. The clubs sup
