badly let down.

Lieut.. Richard w. Mayo, United

modern pentathlon today after the
conclusion of the swimming test.
Lieut.. Mayos score in the 300
meter swim was IA points, giving
him a low total of 211a points.
John OxenStierna, Sweden, had
an excellent swim record of l point
and moved into third place with a
total of 26 points.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5. U.P)-
The rifle range skill of 1t. Richard
w. Mayo, young artillery lieutenant
of Fort Sill Okla, sent him ahead
today in the modern pentathlon
contest with three of the five "teSts
of a perfect soldier" completed.
Well up with the tenth Olympiad
leaders in the equestrian and fenc-
ing contests, Mayo assumed a COM
manding lead yesterday with a
score of 1877 out of possible 200 in
shooting, the third pentathlon di-
vision.
The "a contestants. most of
whom are army officers in their
native lands, must swim today. To-
morrow will end the gruelling event
with a running race. Total scores
are compiled by adding together
the day-to-day positions, SO that
the contestant with the lowest score
at the finish is winner.
Bo Sigfrld Lindman of Sweden,
1924 pentathlon champion and win
ner of the first two events this
year, slipped to fourth place by
ragged shooting. Carlo Simonetti
of Italy moved into second place
and Johan Oxerstierna of Sweden
took third.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5.-Three
new records, none of which was es-
tablished by an American, were en-
tered in the books today as the
sixth program in the track and
field events of the Olympic games
got under way.
For the first time since the
games we're started on Sunday the
United States failed to capture a
mems Olympic track championship.
Only in the women's division was
there an American for whom the
"ceremonie Olympique protocol
laire" was performed. This winner,
not surprisingly, was Mildred
Babe" Didrikson of Dallas, Texas,
one of the greatest women track
stars the world has ever seen.
Babe won her second title in
world and Olympic record time
when her long and lanky legs
brought her home ahead of the in
ternational field in the 80-meter
hurdles.
Miss Didrikson was clocked in
lit. The old worlds record was
lib, held by Marjorie Clark of
South Africa who finished third
in the final. The Texans mark
automatically became an Olympic
record, for the women's hurdle has
not been a games event until this
year.
Incidentally, Miss Clark was not
surprised at doing no better than

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5. U.P)-
Jewels valued at $4,000 were strip
ped from their persons by young
men from whom they had accepted
an automobile ride, two wealthy
Los Angeles women told police to-
day. ~
The women, Mrs. B. r. VARIES
and her sister, Miss Hilda Shuttle,
said they had established an &C
uuaintance with two men after the
latter had called regarding some
Canadian property.
Last night, they said, they ac-
cepted an invitation to ride, and
were taken to the Del Rey hills
along the seacoast. There, the
women told police, the men pro-
duced pistols and took their jew
els.
The men drove away, leaving the
women to wander about for hours
before making their way to Venice,
where they reported the theft.

SHORTER WORKING
WEEK PROPOSED
BY LABOR HEAD

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. U.Pl-A
shorter working week is urged by
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor as
a first step" toward creation OF
millions of jobs for the unem-
ployed.
In a statement apparently de-
signed to hasten administration
consideration of a five-day week
program for industry, Green de-
clared 10000 would be idle next
winter If the present tide of un-
employment is not stemmed. He
estimated II ,o23.00 now are jobless.
Green warned that workers pur-
chasing power should be maintained
at the highest possible level lest
much of the benefit of shortened
hours be lost.
The Reconstruction Finance cor
poration announced a loan of
$1,800,000 to Detroit. This amount
is expected to meet Detroit's essen
tial relief needs for two months,
the corporation said. The public
welfare department of Detroit has
been operating on credit since
March and has unpaid bills Of
