PLAY STUNPS
NJ 'ELVENNY
BY DANNY GILL

Ihat guy DOOIy MlCCHeH
looks like a real tennis player.
guess he'll be plenty tough"
Although he made the statement
a few days ago, after he won his
way into the semifinal round of
the Wardman Park Fall Tennis
Tournament, Ralph McElvenny
knew his tennis onions.
The Western star who has a
victory over Berkley Bell to his
credit and who gave Sidney Wood
real battle before dosing, found
the Wizardry of Mitchell'S strokes
as tough to handle as any he has
run into of late, and McElvenny
has played much tennis, having
participated in tournaments from
coast to coast.
Played Best
Since coming to Washington,
the former Stanford star and
Rocky Mountain champion, who
in 1923 was ranked twenty-fourth
in the nation, has played in three
tournaments, the Government
Employees, which he won without
losing a set; the Washington
Grove (Md) set-to in which he
lost to Barney Welsh in the finals,
and of course, the Wardman in
which he also was a finalist.
Although he has run up against
Shore, LatOna, Staubly, Willis,
Hermann, Welsh, Mitchell and
others, some good, some mediocre,
only two have stopped him
Welsh and, yesterday, Mitchell.
At that he started out as though
he might take Dooly's measure
when he annexed the first set,
6-8, with a series of sizzling
placements.
He took to the net in the sec
ond set and Dooly, who must
have learned something in the
first scrap, trimmed him IS.
The third set was all Mitchell,
the score being 6-3.
Closes With Rush
After a brief rest they went
at it again and it appeared GER
tain the match was going to
take at least five sets to reach
a decision when Mac" picked
up So lead. And then, like
all great champions, Dooly called
on his reserve and found it de-
pendable, and the Colorado satel-
lite saw the match set slip out
of his grasp, rs.
With his victory, the former
Western High School and George
town University ace, won the
Henry L. Stimson Trophy for
the third time, gaining perma-
nent possession. He also put
"a end to the arguments as to
who the best local player is
for this year, at least.
McElvenny showed however,
that he still is the standout
doubles player of this area, when
teamed with Clarence Charest,
one-armed veteran, he added an
other team title to his list. They
defeated Tom Mangan and Axel
Craven in the finals, 6-1, 60,
6-4.

j. 8. MAY DROP
CUBAN PLATT
AMENDMENT
BY International News Service

NnIeFnnIlO0Hl
An Administration move in Con-
gresS to abrogate this country's
right to intervene in Cuba under
the So-called Platt amendment as
soon as reasonably permanent
political stability is established in
that island republic was held a
distinct possibility in authorita-
tive quarters today.
President Roosevelt, it was be-
lieved, is prepared to recommend
this step not only as gesture of
friendship toward Cuba, but as
proof to the rest of Latin America
Of the sincerity of this country's
desire to strengthen the bonds of
political and economic unity with
the nations of Central and South
America through adherence to
the policy Of the good neighbor."
Dates From 1901
The Platt amendment, incorpo-
rated in the 1901 treaty with
Cuba, gives the United States the
right to intervene in the island
republic for the preservation of
Cuban independence" and the
maintenance of a government
adequate for the protection of
life, property, and individual lib
erty."
Although the right of the
United State to intervene in
Cuba under the Platt amendment
is recognized by most of the South
American nations, the existence
Of that amendment is resented in
many Latin American countries.
There have been repeated as
Sertions in the Latin American
press that it conflicts with the
policy of the good neighbor" pro-
claimed by President Roosevelt,
both in his inaugural address and
in his speech before the Pan
American Union here last April.
Four Warships Withdrawn
It also is resented deeply by
many Cubans, especially political
leaders.
Meanwhile, the State Depart
ment announced the withdrawal
of four American warships from
Cuban coastal ports.
These four ships formed part
Of the American naval armada
which has enicrcled the island
since the internal disorders
reused fears that the lives of
American nationals might become
endangered.

SHOOTING
WASTE HIT

American sportsmen today were
urged to unite in a campaign to
reduce the tremendous annual
wastage in ducks and geese killed
or crippled during the open shoot
ing seasons and never recovered.
The plea was issued on behalf of
both the Bureau of Biological
Survey of the Department of Ag-
riculture and the Advisory Board,
Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
For every two ducks killed and
bagged at least one is lost, the
bureau asserted, calling the situ-
alton appalling when it is con-
sidered that 100000 ducks are
bagged each season The bureau
continued
every sign plainly indicates
that the future of the sport of
duck shooting depends entirely
upon our ability to protect the
now diminishing supply of breed
ing birds. Federal and State
conservation authorities are ap-
plying emergency measures by
restricting open seasons and re.
ducing bag limitS.''

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. 10.
ON.S0.-Hollywood is all
atwitter.
There are mass meetings, pro-

movies.
The first Of these deals with
actors relations with their agents
and the second covers the writ
ing Of contracts, and provides a
~blAcS list" Of actors who violate
the code.
Radical" says the Academy Of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,
which has representatives from
al branches Of the industry.
Astounding" says Eddie Cam
tor, wide-eyed comedian, now
turned deadly earnest as newly
elected president of the Screen
Actors Guild.
The actors, headed by Cantor,
will hold their mass meeting Sun
day, when a definite program will
be laid down for presentation st
the NRA hearing.
Joining Cantor in the guild
which has virtually split with the
academy-are such prominent
movie figures as Ann Harding,
Fredric March and James and
lucille Gleason.
Said Cantor today:
1--WE want representation at
Washington. Nobody under
stands things but the actors
themselves, and how are they
going to know what's going on
In Hollywood If we don't tell
them?"
''The guild is acting to pro-
tect the little fellow that we
think the Administration should
protect"

Rosenblatt revealed that the

Big Stores Cut
Out Time Cards to
Hide Violations
Ry a WORKER Correepondcnt

BROOKLYN, N. VI have just
read an article about the girl who
complained that the condition in
Klein's 14th Street store were mis-
cradle. Now | want to give you
an idea of conditions in New York's
large department stores.
Many stores are working their
employees more than the required
40 hours by enforcing rest periods
during the day.
They have taken away the time
cards so that no employee can
complain against working more
than the required hours. They
have shifted the hours so that
many of their employees who make
over the NRA pay work afternoons
and nights, to make them quit so
that they can hire someone cheaper.
Where do we gain by the NRA?
We used to work regular hours and
now we are shifted around so that
We haven't any time for ourselves.
By this shifting Of hours they do
not have to employ more workers
while the others there have to
rush to get just as much work done
as before the NRA.
They have cut the pay from one
person and hired another person
with the money taken off. They
have raised executives.
Why can't there be more union
ism for the workers in this line?

Bakery at POI Bond St., Brooklyn, are
working Is hours daily, days
weekly.
On Sept. % did not feel well and
sent word that could not work on
Friday and on Saturday I went
back to the bakery to collect four
days pay, and because I refused to
work again Is hours every day was
assaulted by the two owners. I was
badly hurt, and they even smashed
my gold watch and chain, and my
clothing was torn up. I had to run
into a barber shop near the bakery
to protect myself.
The rest of the workers are still
working there 16 to 10 hours a day,
and fearing that they will be as
saulted by the owners. They have
not made any complaint.
The only way to stop these abuses
is to get together and have a few

which consist mainly of girls, are
dissatisfied with their wages and con-
ditions.
When the MIRA. came into effect
the girls who made below $12 we're
given $l2 and few we're raised only
81, from sl2 to s13. The majority are
making IL aSd 10 and a 40-hohr week.
Girls are kicking because they were
cut twice and not given back their
full cut. The girls demanded SIS
a week and wage cuts back. No over
time working. No makeup time on
holidays No speeding up.
The girls are willing to go out on
strike, but because Of lack of lead
ership are afraid to. If they had a
union to back them up, they would
surely go on strike.
Will you please send this letter to
a TUUL union for action.
