The answer to the consistency of
tennis form has been shown again
at Wimbledon, where the four out
standing stars at the beginning of
play were Perry. Crawford, Wood and
Shields, with Stoefen next in line.

reached the semi-final bracket and
it took. Crawford to beat Stoefen.

You might name 10 men, four Of
whom should be semi finalists, and

In tennis. if you are a better ten
mis- player than the other party. you
can nearly always win. Not always
but the average will be high.
The same usually is true in polo.
Polo stars lack the wide and shift
ing ranges of form known to golf,
base ball and foot ball.
In base ball and foot ball there are
too many players involved to give
form its chance in any one start.

MT. HOLLY, N. j., Jan. o.
U.N.S0.-As his widowed, At
year-old bride prepared to reen-
act her story of his mysterious
death, police led by County De-
tective Ellis Parker today sought
to determine whether Milla r d
Stefan Edouard, California realty
promoter and reputed foreign Sc
cret agent, took or was given
poison before a bullet crashed
into his brain as he sat in a
parked car near Florence, N. j.
The widow, Mrs. Edna Mcleod
Edouard, was being held incom-
municado while police checked
various angles of her story.
Mrs. Edouard, who told Off
GERS she was the former wife OF
q st. Joseph, Mo-, physician, said
Edouard shot himself as they sat
in an automobile on lonely road
near Florence, because he feared
deportation by Federal authori-
ties, who learned he had acted
as a secret agent for France and

First knowledge of Edouard's
death came when Mrs. Edouard,

By international News Service

A direct appeal to Congress
for extension Of Federal aid to
rehabilitate the nations crippled
education systems was believed
near today as the result of an
informal radio forum in which
Senator Barkley Cd, Of Ken
lucky, and three noted educators
participated.
The educators, who Joined in
urging prompt consideration Of
the National Education AsSocia-
tion's six-point rehabilitation pro-
gram, were John K. Norton, Of
New York, chairman of the joint
commission on the emergency in
education, and State Superintend
ent of Schools James N. Rule. Of
Pennsylvania, and James H. Rich
mond, Of Kentucky.
Six Point Plan
Salient points Of the aSsocia-
tion's program are:
/. An appropriation Of $50,-
100000 to keep schools open
during the 1933-34 school year.
2. An appropriation of $100,.
000, 900 to help maintain schools
during the 1934-35 school year,
to be distributed where neces-
sary.
8. Substantial appropriation
to be distributed to all States
for the year 193435.
4. Release of local funds for
school maintenance to refinance
school district debts and the
providing of Federal loans to
school districts on acceptable
securities.
S. ALLEGATION Of at least 10
per cent of any new public
works appropriations for school
buildings.
6. An appropriation Of $780,
OOO, 900 to be administered by
the U. S. office Of education to
assist students to attend instl-
tutions of higher education.
Conditions Scored
Bolstering their plea for Federal
aid, the educators told Senator
Barley that the following condl-
tions now exist:
About 1900 schools are closed,
others are closing daily; at least
10000 schools will be closed by
the end of March and more than
a million children will be with.
out education facilities; many
teachers are unpaid, and, in
many districts, one out of four
teachers is receiving pay below
that for similar work under
NRA supervision.

By International News Service
A drive for congressional legis-
lation creating a communications
commission to rule the nations
radio, telephone, and telegraph
companies was under way today
as q result Of the report Of
the Presidents Interdepartmental
Committee.
With Chairman Rayburn CD
Of Texas, of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee, preparing
a bill establishing a commission,
Senator Dill CD of Washington,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, was also
preparing to act.
The most bitter fight seen in
the measure is the proposal Of
the committee, headed by Secre-
tary of Commerce Roper, to per-
NIT merger of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Companies.
A provision authorizing the
merger was placed in the railroad
bill during the special session, but
was removed when Senate pro-
gresSiveS attacked it on the ground
it created a monopoly. The mer-
ger has been discussed in Wall
Street for two years.
The Interdepartmental Commit
tee holds that establishment Of
local radio stations throughout
the country, linked with the inter
national radio companies, would
provide direct competition for a
single telegraph and international

n Sistence wage.
Furthermore, industry Is dif-
.,ferent. If conditions warrant
IAN increase in wages paid by

Better Backs Relief
Another legislator friendly to
the cause of Federal employees is

"It is inconsistent for the
Government to ask industry to

time reduce the salaries Of its
own employees.
. "That extra money paid out
BY the Government would be
spent and be instrumental in
turning once more the wheels
