ing on legal holidays as the result
of the new 40-hour law, Controller
General McCarl ruled yesterday. Pre-
viously they got time and half. The
controller generals decision was rem
dered to Public Printer Carter. who
raised a number of questions con-
cerning the applicability Of the short
work week at the printing office.
The controller general pointed out
that under the new law employees
paid on an annual basis were recon-
pensed when they were off duty on
legal holidays and that consequently
when they worked they were entitled
as well to pay for the labor actually
performed.
In the same decision, the controller
general said that the continuation
of the practice hitherto obtaining
overtime at the rate of time and a
half for Sunday work would depend
on whether the day was included in
the regular tour of duty.

HUNDREDS BEGIN
JEWISH CANVASS
Drive Launched at Mass
Meeting to Raise $4,000
in Three Weeks Here.

The United Jewish Campaign was
under way today with several hundred
volunteer workers starting three
week canvass for funds for relief of
destitute European Jews and Palestine
rehabilitation.
The drive opened officially last
night with a mass meeting at the
Jewish Community Center, attended
by representatives of a dozen or more
Jewish organizations. The meeting
was called to present final instructions
to the workers and to outline the con-
ditions in Europe that make impera-
tive the raising of $3,0O0000 through
out the United Sttaes this year for
relief purposes
Isidore Hershfeld. co-chairman of
the drive, with Edmund l. Kaufman.
stressed the need for Washington Jews
to raise their quota of $35000. He
said all Washington Jewish organiza-
tionS were cooperating and expressed
confidence the campaign would be
success this year if the workers would
devote their energies for the next
three weeks to the cause.
Refugee Situation Described.
Joseph c. Hyman, secretary of the
American Joint Distribution Commit
tee, The largest international Jewish
relief agency, described his recent sur
vey of the refugee situation in Eu-
rope. He said that thousands of Jews
are in desperate straits and almost
wholly dependent on help from
abroad. Furthermore, he said, there
has been no real improvement in the
condition of the Jews in Germany.
He said:
Despite what on the surface seems
TO be an improvement in the condi-
tions of the German Jews in the last
few months 1 found during my re-
cent visit to Germany the spirits
of the Jews at very low ebb. Their
condition has become more aggra-
waited than ever"
Tells of Development.
The other guest speaker, Mrs. Golda
MeyerSon, Palestinian labor leader,
gave graphic account of the develop
ment of the Jewish homeland en-
deavor She said there was no unem-
ployment in Palestine, but on the
contrary an extreme shortage of labor,
making it necessary to close the
schools at times to allow young men
and women to help harvest the crops.

By GARRETT WATERS

Consistency is an important
item in baseball because it not
only helps the team striving to get
ahead, but the player or players
as well.
This lack of consistency has put
the Griffmen where they are to-
day. The facts and figures on
their showing since their big col
lapse" will easily prove the point.
If that won't, picture OF their
last two series will offer a true
prospective. Against the Yankees,
Manager Cronin's weary warriors
played like new and inspired
champions. They hit we'll, fielded
equally we'll, and received the sort
of pitching from the moundsmen
that won two OF the three contests
entered on the record books.
But Immediately the Phila-
delphia AS hit town sudden let
down made its presence with the
result two games were lost, one
was tied and the hitting and
pitching we're Nightmares.
Yesterday, the Cleveland In
dams, with Walter johnson back
at the helm following his recent
illness, opened a four-game series.
The poor hitting and pitching,
and general inconsistency of the
GriffS once more appeared as
Mel Harder, of the Indians, set
Cronin and his lads down with
four hits while winning a 5-to-1
game.
Today, Manager Cronin sends
his team against the Indians in
the second game of the series.
He hopes to get back in the win
ming column by starting either
Eddie Linke. the rookie, or Monte
Weaver, the veteran, on the
mound.
Oral Hildebrand is expected to
be JohnSon's tWirler today.
Another of those unhappy first
innings ruined the Griffs again
yesterday. Four runs were scored.
! Lefty Walter Stewart started
on the mounds for Cronin and
conclusively demonstrated that it
was not his day when the first
five Cleveland batters hit him safe
ly. Galatzer, Knickerbocker. Ave
rill and Trosky singled, and Hale
doubled. This brought Jack Rus
sell to the mound, who pitched
until the eighth in fine style. Bob
Burke finished.
Harder allowed only two hits
after the first inning, one being
Pinch Hitter Johnny Stones dou-
BILE in the eighth, the other
Travis line single through the In
field in the ninth.
The Griffs scored their run in
the first when Schultz and Cronin
singled between infield outs. The
Indians tailed their fifth marker
of the day in the seventh when
Pytlak tripled and Galatzer
singled.

COOK WILL SHIP

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-George
Cook, efficient young Washington
trainer, today notified Race Sec
rotary John P. Turner that he
was shipping eight horses to
Marlboro for the fall session of
the Southern Maryland Agricul-
tural Fair Association, beginning
Tuesday, August %.
Cook, who has been resting
his charges since the recent

plans to take in the Cumberland
meeting so that his charges will
be thoroughly frightened up by
the time they get postward at
Marlboro.
There are no outstanding
horses in the Cook string, but
TURTLES will do we'll to keep a
weather eye on The Gen, Giggley
Ann and Big Dipper. Cooks
real trouble is securing a rider
as he and Jockey Herbie LAUGH

Mrs. Helen Smith. popular
