tion to follow a schedule similar tc

The President was occupied today
principally with long distance tele-
phone talks with Administrator Hugh

times he was absorbed in reading mail
debating letters and signing papers

for more than an hour in the study
during the interval they disposed OF
a quantity of routine business. Early

To place the name of Postmaster
General Farley in the list of Postmas-
tiers General on the monumental new
Post Office Department Building is
costing the Government bout $1,000.
The names of the Postmasters Gen.
eral, under the original plans for the
building, were designed to be carved
In stone on two panels, one on the left
and one on the right side of the large
semi-circle of the post Office. facing
west, between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets not far from the old Post Of1ce
Building.
The names were all carved into the
blocks of stone in the stone mills IN
Indiana prior to shipment. When it
became necessary to place Mr. Farley
on the list. all the names had been
carved, half of them for the panel to
the north and the other hah of them

ADDITION OF FARLEY TO NAMES
ON NEW BUILDING COSTS $1,000

for the panel to the south. In order
to get Mr.. Farley's name on the panel,
it was necessary to plane off all names
and recarve them.
AS the building now appears, half Of
the names on the north side, beginning
with Benjamin Franklin, and running
down to the bottom of the left panel,
are in place. But the panel on the south
side of the semi-circle, where the stones
were planed to eliminate the names. will
have to be carved over again by work
men on scaffoldS
In addition to the names Of the post
masters general there are also three
other groups of carvings on the semi
circular niche facing west. Two Of these
groups carry the history Of progress Of
the American postal system. The third
group consists of q poetic expression Of
what the post means In the lives Of the
American people.

ROME Italy. August 2l-Italian
Premier Benito Mussolini is determined
more than ever to prevent Germany
from gobbling up Austria and will con-
tinue to help Austrian Chancellor
Engelbert Dollfuss to fight the battle Of
Austrian independence, II Duce told
Grand Hotel at Riccione over the week
end Dollfuss left Italy at $50 o'clock
this morning
Supported by Italy. France and Great
Britain. Dollfuss win continue to do
everything possible to prevent Austro-
German relations from exploding In
any disastrous crisis, the two prime
ministers agreed Austria will follow
the policy of peace and collaboration
with all its neighbors, especially with
Italy, Hungary and even with Ger
many, so far as possible" says an
official statement.
Danube Issue Taken Up.
In talking over the immediate urgent
problem of Austrian independence
Mussolini and Dollfuss also considered
the broader question of the whole
Danube region. The Italian policy
apparently will continue to be to try
to bring Austria and Hungary-separ-
ately-more securely than ever into
the italian orbit of influence, and then
come to some kind of understanding
with Germany on the Danube cues
ton and only when this Is done deal
with the little entente countries, name
ly, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and
Rumania
AT the end of their conversation the
two men found that they were per-
fectly agreed on the problems dis
cussed," says the official announcement.
Mussolini seems to have been dele
gated by the French and British to act
up to a certain point as the spokesman
of all three powers in their Austrian
policy.
ii Duce Has Hard Job.
Paris and London seem to think that
II Duce has more influence with Ger
man Chancellor Adolf Hitler than any
one else in Europe-even, if that is not
saying very much. as was proved by
the failure of the Nazis to modify their
anti-Austrian policy following the Ital-
ion claims that Hitler promised to do so.
II Duce has need of all his ability as
political tight-rope walker in han
ding the Austro- German problem, since
he has just twice as much at stake, as
he is in just twice as difficult a posi-
ton as any other interested chief of
governments. He is trying to prevent
Germany from doing the thing it most
wants to do. and at the same time keep
Germany's good will And a union OF
Austria and Germany would be more
serious for Italy than it would be even
for France.

there has been no lack Of competition.
For the second year in succession
Washington has staged the sectional
qualification rounds for the national
amateur and open championships, the
Maryland State amateur title tilt has
been played over local course and for
the first time has been won by a Wash
ington man, and frequent friendly
matches have helped what otherwise
might have been q dull season.
Roger Peocock's sudden rise to
position OF enlineHce among
local amateurs has created q lot
OF good -ndtured rtpdlrtes Which
haze done nothing but help
Rogers game.
Indeed. the Indian Spring youngster,
even II he loses mis- District champion
ship two and half weeks hence, still
will be entitled to top place among
local amateurs.
His impressive showing In the Mary
land State tourney, his amazing con-
sistency of scoring around par over
many golf courses and his victory in
the Congressional tourney have assured
him OF first place among the Simon
pures around Washington.
Roger will be an outstanding favorite
to win the tourney over bis home
course.
Judged by the pace he has
been setting In practice rounds,
It Is easy for him to knock the
bali around Indian Spring in ~
or better every time he starts.
Such q pace will be far too fast for
the other amateurs to match.
Roger has fine chance to set an
all-time record for scoring In the local

duce something new" this
coming foot ball season in the
drive to give Michigan it's fourth
successive Western Conference
championship.
Since the Wolverines have lost only
one game in three seasons, the head
coach feels that the public cannot bt
satisfied with mere victory and that
the thrills Of the wide-open type oi
play must be furnished. In Spring

tried often in competition this Fall.

signed to give the guards an op-
portunity to attract the attention
Of spectators.
Michigan guards come back out OF
the line as soon as the ball Is snapped
to form interference on rs per cent o1
Oil plays. AAS ruilp WA1Cci, Gay

On this formation the guards, one
or both, will line up facing their own

results again this Fall. Newman's sue
cessor remains to be chosen, but the
Michigan squad has nearly dozen
candidates who can throw passes. Bill
Renner who was in school last year, but
did not compete, IS described by Kipke

if he can do the other things"
Most OF the Deteran backs,
