Resolution Proposed to Kill
Married Workers. Section
In Pay Cut Bill

After it's many vicissitudes
in both bodies of Congress, the
omnibus economy bill today
awaited the signature of the
President. 1t doubtless will
become law before the end of
the current fiscal year, tomcr-
row, and become effective Fri
day, July l.
The Senate, upon "reconsidera-
ton" last night adopted the con,
ference report upon the highly
controversial measure. 1t had
once rejected il. The House
adopted the conference report late
last week and its conferees
seemed indifferent about the Sen
ate rejection and stood their
ground.
Senate adoption of the confer
ence report was by IS to II vote
That came after Senator La Fol-
lette (RD Wisconsin, had delayed
action for awhile by making
quorum calls and as the Senate
finally yielded on bill which
he claimed had largely been re-
shaped in joint conference COM
mittee the young Wisconsin Sena-
tor shouted:
"This is an abject surrender
on the part of the Senate"
Senator Hiram Bingham (RO
Connecticut. member of the Ap-
preparations Committee, was to
ask a showdown today on a con-
current resolution which he spon'
sors to cut out of the economy
bill a section which discriminates
against married couples in Gov,
ernment employ 1t is possible
to remedy this section by concur
rent resolution, even though the
economy bill has. gone through
its final legislative stages.
This section, which has been
harShly attacked in recent Senate
debates, and by women's and
labor organizations, stipulates
that if lay-offs or dismissals be-
come necessary in order that any
department head may keep with.

in the Democratic national
convention drove hard today
into the camps of their rivals
for sufficient votes to accom-
plish the New York COVER
nor's nomination on an early
ballot.
In complete control of the
convention machinery by their
trio Of organization victories
yesterday, they claimed to be
within less than a hundred
votes" of being able to nomi-
nate on the first or second
ballot.
But their claims were stoutly
resisted by their rivals, who con-
tinued to assert grimly that "this
fight isn't over yet, by any
means"
Use Hard Pressure
The Roosevelt leaders were
bringing to bear all the pressure
they could on Ohio, committed to
George White; in the Garner
States of California and Texas,
in James A. Reeds Missouri, in
Virginia, which is for ex-Gov.
Harry F.. Byrd, and in Indiana.
The vision of the Vice Presi-
Dental nomination was dangled
before a good many eyes during
the night and forenoon, but with
what success was not readily ap-
parent.
Rumors that Garner would
withdraw and accept second posi-
tion on a ticket headed by the
New York governor met with in
dignant denial by the Texans
supporters here.
Anon G. Carter, Fort Worth
publisher, said he had talked to
the Speaker by long-distance tele-
phone, and that while Garner ad-
mitted he had "been approached"
on the Vice Presidency, he had
not considered it.
Representative Samuel Ray

ground here, declared he knew
nothing of any trade. He said:

that if Speaker Garner is not

The first 18 holes are listed
tomorrow, after which the field
will be slaShed to the low so,
and these will continue on at
36 holes medal play Sunday to
see which of their number will
whack up the $2,55O in cash
prizes.
The first prize of $7OO is the
bait Turing many of the country'S
outstanding golfers to Kenwood.
The sum of $700 looks like $1,000
to the paid clan whose pickings
have dwindled due to the de.

Upwards Of IT'S Enter
Upwards of IT'S have entered
the competition. Many of this
number are amateurs from the
various clubs of the District. In
case any Of these amateurs fin.
lsh among the leaders, they will
receive trophies corresponding to
the money value Of the cash
award.
The course. thoroughly dried
out by the sunshine and wind OF
the past few days, is in first-class
shape and promises to test the
skill OF the divot-diggerS. At least
the entrants will find the Ken
wood layout much harder this
year.
Kenwood officials have also
arranged to handle the antici
pated crowd so as the golfers
will have no interference. There
will be marShalS to keep the
spectators in their place and a
huge scoreboard in front of the
clubhouse will give the scores OF
the entrants.
Dutra and Sarazen Absent
The only leaders among the
pros who'll be absent will be
Olin Dutra, P. G. A. champion
and Gene Sarazen, British and
American Open titleholder, but
practically every headliner in the
East will be on hand. They need

Good Cheer Message

When the tall smokeStacks OF
Mr.. Ruppert's brewerieS start
belching forth their message Of
good cheer, you and I will know
that more money is on the way
to pay the salary of more Ruths
and Gehrigs, and If there is any
man in the land who will lay
1t on the line for a good player,
that man is the good Col. Jake
Rupert, himself-no effigy.
If Colonel Rupert has been
able to pay the largest salaries
in baseball during the last
dozen years while the noble
experiment was being disproved
and while his brewery chimneys
issued little if any smoke, what
is he going to be able to bid
for players and pay them when
beer again becomes practically
compulsory?
Now. my friend, Mr.. Clark
Griffith, will not like me to link
the ideas of beer and baseball
in the same breath and utter
ance, for Mr.. Clark Griffith
was always a helpful and re-
forming influence in baseball,
having been a terrific force
in separating seball from
what was once laughingly called
the saloon.
The Washington times., 1932-11-11
Call EN- Salons

But there is no reason for
Griff to become apprehensive,
for from what I learn of the
present intentions of the party
about to take over the reins of
this land, the saloon is not going
to return. I don't know what
they are going to call those
places where we'll get it; per.
hapS salons.
Anyhow, the only way 1 can
see for the other baseball mag
mates to rehabilitate their for
tunes in order to compete with
Mr.. Jake Rupert Is to pick up
some odd pieces of land near
railroad sidings and start build
ing breweries.
The Democrats expect to bal
ance the budget through beer
and perhaps pay the bonus
thereby. Why then shouldn't
beer lead baseball out of the
financial wilderness?
The Cincinnati Reds, in eco
nomic doldrunls If ever a base
ball club was. is an ideal club
Tor a combination brewery

slogan for today is baseball,

Jim BottomIey
Likely to Go
to Dodgers
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE ap-
pointment yesterday Of owen
Bush as manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds has definitely revived
the proposal whereby Sunny Jim
Bottomley, of the st. Louis Cardi-
mails. may wear a Brooklyn uni
form next year.
Previous negotiations for Bot
tomley had been broken off be-
cause Cd Brooklyn officials were
sure that Bottomley was going to
land the Cincinnati job. and (2)
because the Cards had demanded
Southpaw Bill Clark, Brooklyn
pitching ace, in exchange, a propo-
sition that Brooklyn couldn't see.
Now Bottomley again can be listed
as trading material and the Cards
no longer will insist on getting
Clark because they subsequently
have obtained two southpawS, Bill
Walker and Jim Mooney, from
the Giants.
would Strengthen Club
An official of the Brooklyn
club, in admitting today that the
Dodgers would renew efforts to
grab Bottomley at the National
League meeting here next month,
declared the acquisition of Sunny
Jim would make the Dodgers the
equal of any club in the circuit.
Despite the loss Of Del Bissonette,
the regular first Sacker, who was
laid up for the season bysa train
ing camp injury the Dodgers
managed to finish third this year.
Bissonette is reported physically
fit at present but the club is no
means sure he will be able to play
with his old-time skill next year.
Spent Half Season On Bench
Although he hit 200 in 1892,
Bottomley Is not considered a
fixture in st. Louis. He spent
about half of the past season on
the bench. The club has two other
first basemen-Ripper Collins and
Pat Crawford.
st. Louis could use a good sec
ond baseman in case Rogers
HornSby proves to be too slow to
cover the keystone bag. Mickey
Finn, of the Dodgers, is q capable
second Sacker and probably would
figure in any deal for Bottomley.
