T HE Manor Moose" is on the
rampage again. Harry @. Pitt,
ace golfer of the Manor Club,
l. who has about decided to
pass up a shot at the Middle
Atlantic championship this year,
bagged five brides in nine holes on
the woods" nine at Manor yesterday
and then called it day
IT'S too hot and I'm too hot and
I guess I'd better quit" Harry said,
so he packed his clubs and took
dive in the swimming pool. He
started with a 7 on the par 5 first
hole, which ordinarily ne plays with
a drive and an iron, and then pro-
ceeded to burn up the torrid fair
ways for the other eight holes, bag
ging five brides en- route.
Harry won the mid-Atlantic back
in 1928, sinking a 40-foot putt across
the green at the first extra hole at
Congressional to snuff out the title
aspirations of John C. Shorey. He
was runner-up last year to David
B. Cook, the Rolling Road lad who
won the tourney over his home course.
The championship affair starts next
Wednesday over the famed Cascades
course of the Hot Springs Golf and
Tennis Club, with at least five flights
to be played. Most of the better
golfers of Washington are planning
to make the trip to Hot Springs.

 Havana, Jan Early America recognition of the new Cuban government was predicted today as Col Carlos Mendieta, con- servative in principle and popular with all classes except extreme radicals, consolidated his position as president.
 Announcement that Jefferson Gallery, President Roosevelts per sonal representative in Cuba, would leave Havana for Ct conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, OH board the United States cruiser Richmond, was regarded as ex- tremely significant.
 Despite denial from Washington that Caffery's meeting with Hull, who is returning to the United States from South America, held any other importance than report cn Cuban conditions, political cir cles insisted it would be the fore runner of recognition.
 President Mendieta. fourth exc outive to hold office in the past five troubled months, continued his et- forts to form d cabinet today. E%- citement of the past AS hours and the extreme pressure under Whlch he has been working combined to send him to bed, "indisposed,' last night, with this phase of his work incompleted.
 He had decided, to form a state council of 70 members, to act as a legislative body. He will retain the right to veto any act of the coun- cil, but his veto may be oVerridden by a two-t thirds vote.
 Censorship over the radio and other communications was lifted to-day, but the government con tinued to maintain it's control over the Cuba Electric Company. storm center of strike threats.
 Colonel Mendieta announced, in a press meeting, that he would ap- point a commission to determine the issues between striking em- ployes of the American-owned utility and the management. and to attempt to reach q settlement or workers demands. His own elec- ton appeared to have ended, at least temporarily, the threat of n general strike.
 Meanwhile, the city of Havana continued it's jubilant. reception Of the news that Mendieta had been sworn in as president.

Gold Bill May Be
 LauU By Tuesday
Financial Big-Wigs TrySto Trip Up Roosevelt on
 Taking of Gold Reserve and Dollar RevaIuaton

r It was understood however that the treasury plans some new fi- nance next week. Meanwhile an abrupt rise of t,le dollar on foreign exchange indicated the need of starting operations with the $2,- 900, ,000,00O stabil.Iation fund which the. bill provides.
 As house and senate committee hearings on the dollar revaluation measure continued today, the ad- ministration found several provi- sions of the bill opposed by signifi- cant financial figures. Governor Black of the federal reserve boa rd before the senate banking and cur. rency committee opposed the pres- ident's proposal to take title to fed eral reserve gold. James M. War dollar below 60 cents would "be costly" and possibly result in a ser ious drain on the stabilization fund. He told the house coinage commit tee however that if he were a member of congress he would make a speech in which I would bill the president asks for in the CHltl StlIty.
 "I would then explain however" Warburg said. that I would like the revaluation plan better if there was no top of CO.,.
 Several senators predicted that if the administration tries to rush the bill through by Tuesday there would be republican filibuster, based on the argument that de- tailed study of the momentous leg islation was necessary.
 Senator Glass, dem, Va, asked if he believed the bill would pass by Tuesday, said. Tt hasn't got a chance"
 The house. however, under the ironclad program of the leader ship, will stay in session Saturday until the bill is passed. Debate IS limited on the bill, which will be brought up under d special rule.
 A republican attempt may be made in the house to place q time limit on stabilization fund opera tions-either one year or two. Re3 McGugin. repn, Kan, is sponsoring such a change.
