LEGION HEAD URGES
CONTINUED FUNDS
Calls Byrd stalking Horse"
for Small Minority Against
Veterans"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. November 26.-
Louis A. Johnson, national commander
of the American Legion, In an address
here tonight, in which he urged con-
tinuation Of veterans appropriations
spoke of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byro
as ''unwittingly and unintentionally'
the stalking horse for the one person
out of 5000 CT our population who is
against the veterans of America"
Speaking at a public meeting, Comdr
johnson described the Legion as "a
spontaneous thing. born with the sound
of battle ringing in our ears" and said
'the first love, the first obligation and
duty of the American Legion is re-
habilitaticn."
He spoke of IAN organized crowd OF
clever opponents who are not oisinter-
ested in relieving themselves Of the re-
sponsibility of taxation" and charged
that they "misrepresent facts deliberate
", they are inciting class against class. q"
Facts and Figures Offered.
Facts and figures were cited to show
that Federal tax burdens are not so
heavy and have not increased in the
same manner as State and local taxes.
It was further argued by Comdr. john
taxes, from which veterans appropria-
tions come, Is borne by comparatively
small group in the larger income classes.
For each dollar paid by the larger
group of Federal income taxpayers" he
said, 1880 is paid by the smaller group
with the bigger incomes, and that is
where the fight against the veterans
comes, from the l per cent of the 31s
per cent of our population, or approx
mately one out of 5000 Of our entire
population"
Comdr. johnson then referred to
activities of the National Economy
League, headed by Rear Admiral Rich
ard E. Byrd and having Archibald
Roosevelt as secretary. He said he would
agree with Admiral Byrd's statement
that taxes have got to be reduced, but
he added that while Byrd ''is out paying
his respects and his compliments to the
American Legion" there appears in
print from Archibald Roosevelt state
ment listing Federal appropriations
which cannot readily be cut, and, con-
Guiding. there remains, therefore, only
the Veteran
Shift in Burden Seen.
Reading from the brief of the Cham
Der of Commerce Of the United States
opposing veterans appropriations the
statement that redistricting hospitaliza-
ton to service-connected disability
would remove the necessity for further
hospital construction and permit aban-
dcnment of the facilities already COM
pleted, Comdr. johnson asked:
IF we take away the Federal sup
port of the men who fought for the
Federal Government, what becomes Of
these dependents?"
He said they would be thrown back
on the States and further increases in
State and local taxes would be neces-
sary, shifting the burden from high
salaried Federal income tax payers to
the average American taxpayer, who
will have to carry the burden, because
I know you will take care of these men
II they are thrown back en- your door

COSTA R|CAN FIGHT
ON PACT WATCHED
EI Salvador Situation Focuses
Attention on Recognition
Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.

State Department officials and Cen
trail American diplomats are watching
to see whether Costa Rican movement
for conference to change the treaty
governing recognition of Central Ameri-
can governments will be taken up by
neighboring countries.
The continuation in power Of the gov
ernment of Gen. Maximiliano Martinez
in El Salvador, despite non-recognition
by the other Central American republics
and the United States, has focused at
tention on the recognition policy of this
Government. Although the United
States did not sign the peace treaty of
1928, which defined conditions under
which recognition would be withheld,
Secretary Stimson has adopted the
treaty as the basis Of United States
policy. The treaty may not be re-
nounced before January, 1884
It provides against recognition of any
governments which come into power
through revolution or coup d'etat when
they have not constitutionally reorgan-
lied the government, or should a Presi-
dent be chosen who was leader in the
overthrow of the old government, who
was related by blood or marriage to
state or in high military command
within six months prior to the over
throw.
Two Fail Due to Treaty.
Just why Costa Rica should be the
spearhead of such a movement, which
obviously would affect the case of FL
Salvador, is not clear to ob5erverS here.
State Department officials attributed
failure of Manuel Quesada to gain the
presidency by revolution after the cleo
ton of the present president, Ricardo
Jimenez, several months ago in part
to the Salvadorean example of the
working of this recognition policy.
The temporarily successful Diaz and
Chamorro revolutions in Nicaragua
eventually failed, it is said. because Of
this treaty, which will be 10 years old
in February.
The State Department has not COM
mitted itself upon the new movement.
Theoretically, the independent repub-
lies of Central America alone are in
volved in any contemplated change in
tht treaty. AS a matter of fact, the
United States was represented at the
conference in 1928 when the treaty was
drafted and Secretary Stimson has de-
Tended publicly the policy involved as

NEW HAVEN, Conn, November 90
Forty-six hundred square miles of ter
ritory in the Himalayan Mountains
have been explored and mapped for the
first time by Yale's North India expe-
dition.
A report Of the survey of the land,
all of which Is above an altitude of
14,500 feet, has Just been received by
President James Rowland Angel of
Yale from Prof. Hellmut De Terra, the
expeditions director.
THE geological data amassed," wrote
De Terra, tend to prove that Himalaya
and Karakorum, the worlds highest
mountain ranges, possesses a geological
structure similar to that which char
acterizes the Alps In Europe, a result
which will ultim tely lead to o better
understanding Of the origin Of high
mountain ranges.
Elevated Lakes Examined.
COLLECTIONS of invertebrate fossils
from hitherto unexplored regions will
throw new light on the geological his
tory Of Central Asia"
Yale geographers expressed the belief
the new map will be valuable in ex-
planning the forces which raised for
mer level lowland to a height of more
than 10000 feet. The Himalayas and
nearby ranges are the scene Of the most
recent mountain building.

SHIELDS ON TRIAL
FACING CRAWFORD
Final Davis Cup Play With
Australia Is Otherwise
Meaningless.

BY the Associated Press.
~ H1LADELPHIA. May 30.-A test
- of Frank x, Shields is furnished
today in the concluding matches
of the Davis Cup tie between
the United States and Australia-and
that's all.
The singles duels between Shields and
Jack Crawford and between Ellsworth
Vines and Harry Hopman have no bear
ing on the outcome Of the tie. The
Americans sewed it up by winning the
two singles and the doubles matches OF
Friday and Saturday
Shields, who rose to stellar rank in
1880, fell down in overseas competition
and in the national championships last
year, and his straight-set victory over
Hopman in the opening event Of this
Davis Cup play Friday was his first
major triumph of this season.
If he can dispose of Crawford today,
however, the Americans will feel con-
siderably more confident Of success
against the European competitors to be
taken on later in the Summer. The
tall, curly-haired Crawford is No. man
on the Australian squad and had been
described as peer of Norman Brookes
his illustrious fellow countryman OF
other years
Crawford took one set from Vines be-
fore a storm ralned out their contest
Friday, but finally bowed, 60, 6-4
2-6, 6A. On the basis of his show
ing in this match, Vines should have
slight difficulty with Hopman today
Their match follows the Shields -Craw-
forc duel. which starts at l:30 pm.
Eastern standard time). The matches
are played at the Philadelphia Country
Club.

TINE low-handicap golfers are not
the only ones who can perform
sensational stunts on the golf
course From the clubs of the
lesser known men frequently come shots
just as spectacular as those which the
better golfers make little more often
But one foursome at the Washington
Golf and Country Club has just accom-
plished feat which is without parallel
around Washington. This foursome, no
member Of which has a handicap of
less than 10 strokes, played one of the
hardest holes Of the Washington course
eagle, two brides and a par on the
seventh hole, which generally is regard
ed as one of the most difficult holes on
that tricky layout over in Virginia.
DR.. G. r. Huffman scored the eagle
deuce, playing the hole with a drive
and No. iron, with his second shot
finding the bottom Of the cup from ITO
yards away. Then along came DR.. S. T
Noland, who laid an iron shot stone
dead for gimme" 4; DR.. E. w. Titus

a good on a hard hole, but a score
that looked ordinary in such a group
Several years ago Risley G. Hunt scored
an eagle deuce on the seventh hole, and
that stunt stood alone until Huffman
knocked the ball in the hole for the
second eagle. But that mark of four
under par on hard hole by single
foursome is somewhat of a record. The
hole is 434 yards long.

U. S. Visit Helped De Forest
New British Golf Champion Became Expert
Through Playing With Pros in California

every now and then, but gave him
some very valuable instruction in re-
turn. BY the end of the 1881 VIM
ter season De Forest began to give
indications of developing into a
high-class amateur golfer.
On his return to England he con-
tinued to improve and went to the
finals of the 1881 British amateur
championship at Westward Ho only
to be defeated by Eric Martin Smith.
British critics were inclined to doubt
the quality of De Forests golf and
regarded the finals of the 1881
championship as an anti-climax,
since all Of the old favorites were
swept out Of the field and two dis
tinct outsiders battled for the title.
So little was thought of De Forests
game that he was not included in
the tentative selections for the Brit
ish Ryder Cup team that comes to
the United States in September.
Now there Is little doubt he will be
given place In the lineup.
Even should De Forest be omitted
from the. British Walker Cup team,
its a godd, wager he will come over
for our Gtnateur championship.
