NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June %
1.N.SD.-With the nations Chief
Executive, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
looking on, Yale was off to a fly

crew meeting with Harvard today,
winning the freshman and junior
varsity races over the two mile
courses on the Thames River, a
prelude to the varsity event sched-
uled this evening.
President Roosevelt saw the
Harvard frosh boat, with his son,
Franklin D., jr., in No. 6 position,
go down to defeat before the Eli
crew by three-quarters of length.
The Yale Jayvees led the Grim.

finish line with two and one-half
lengths to spare.
President Roosevelt watched the
races from the referees launch,

James Roosevelt, and the latter's
mother, Mrs. Harvey Gushing,

1888 BATTING
FORM NEAR
FOR FRED
BY GARRETT WATERS

One of the most interesting
figures in the Griffs' current
drive for first place honors is
Fred Schultz, veteran outfielder.
Few things have been said
about him this season due to the
"only fair" performance he's en-
joyed since the opening Of the
campaign.
But Fred has been Gin there"
plugging away just the same and
has been one Of the important
cogs in the Griffs' daily efforts to
hit that long awaited winning
stride.
Quite like the remainder Of his
Griff team mates, Schultz has
had his ups and downs endeaVor'
ing to get started this year. His
biggest trouble has been his de-
cided lack of form at bat.
Today. however, he appears on
the threshold of becoming the
great and timely batSman he was
during the early 1888 grind the
GriffS experienced while over
hauling the New York Yankees
for first place.
Hits Impress
His base blows within the past
four or five days have offered this
impression as they've made their
presence at times when they've
done the most good for the Griffs.
His average hasn't reached the
800 class as yet by virtue of these
successes at bat, but there's every
indication it will in time as Fred
is too good a performer to be
kept down too long.
He began hitting a little better
last Saturday in the double-header
against the Cleveland Indians
when in the first game he raped
out a double and single in four
trips at bat. Two days later he
gathered three more hits of the
characteristic Schultz type in an
other twin bill against the Indians,
while the past two days while hit
ting against Detroit Tiger pitch
ing he's connected four times
and in every instance when his
hits have made him look particu-
larly impressive.
Several days ago, in fact. when
the Griffs got back home from a
short trip to Boston, it was limited
Manager Cronin'S team looked
nearly set to begin a winning
stride which would carry the boys
to the top of the league.
Several "IfS"
There was an "if" in the hints,
however, and it involved the
cases of Manager Joe Cronin and
Schultz, both of whom had still
to get into normal hitting stride
along with the other Griff per-
formers. Shorty after the current
homes and started, Cronin snap
pee out of his slump, leaving only
Schultz ION the outside"
Now, Fred is hitting. And with
this situation ruling it makes the
Griffs appear even stronger than
before as it gives the lineup a
dangerous man in every position
from the lead-off man down to
the catcher. and pitcher.

GUARD PANAMA
CANAL, is PLEA
OF PUBLISHER
Twenty Men Could Destroy
Pass in IL Hours, He
Asserts.
lcopvr.rh' 1894 by United Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. - Twenty
men, willing 10 risk their lives for
their country, could blast the Pana-
ma Canal 10 pieces in u hours. and
block the channel for months. &C
Cording to Nelson ROunseveH, pub
Usher Of the Panama American.
BY dint OF prodigious energy and
a natural residence Of spirit. Mr.
R0unsevell has made one Of the
few successes out Of an American
language newspaper south Of
Mexico and has preached the gos-
pei Of Panama defense for years in
his publication.
IN an interview today. he re-
peated the charges nc has made
openly. and backed them with
stories Of his own theoretical de-
struction" Of the canal. Approx
mately. 1t was learned that the long
ditch Is now more closely guarded
than ever in its history. largely
through Mr.. Rounsevell's exposure
of its weaknesses.
1t is impossible, today. to ap-
prOach the canal itself, by night,
without running afoul of armed
sentireS. In other years a group
of enemies might have run its en-
tire length, sowing destruction
where they pleased. without let or
hindrance.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-20
Destroyed by Reporters.

Mr.. ROunseveu brought this sit
uatiOn to the attention Of the Pan
anna Canal authorities, and to the
Army and Navy, in a series Of spec
tacular proofs that his charges
were not nonsense.
Come with me-" he said to a
group Of his reporters one night.
He and his staff gathered in an au-
tOmoale and drove to vital points
along the canal, depositing "explo-
sives" as they went. Theoretically
they destroyed the locks, the dams,
and the power houses, poisoned the
water supplies. shut of the electric
power, blew down the administra-
ton buildings. and in general lay
waste to the entire zone.
Thereafter guards were placed
along the canal. and when the
United States fleet went through, il
its last transfer from ocean to ocean,
the zone witnessed the greatest pro-
tective display in the history of the
canal.
But there are still vital points
unguarded,' Mr.. Rounseveu insisted
today. and twenty men, with a
common plan of procedure, could
put the canal out of business for
months"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-20
Strategic Points Unguarded

"All the canals subsidiaries. he
continued. are left completely m
guarded. -Four men, willing to sell
their lives for patriotism, could
go to the hydro-electric plant any
night. hurl nitrOglycerine bombs
through the windows. and destroy
the station. Simultaneously they
could destroy the Diesel-electric
plant and with this power shut off,
all the lights and all the electrically
operated machinery in the Zone
would be useless.
Another group could poison the
impOunded waters feeding the en-
tire population. Still another could
hurl bombs through the unguarded
and open windows of the machine
shops, and destroy the dry dock at
Balboa.
The Madden Dam. which will
provide the auxiliary water supply
for the Zone is equally unguarded
and could be destroyed in an hour
The dam is nearing completion now
It would take two weeks. perhaps.
to replace the railroad bridge which
also might be subject to inStantane-
Gus destruction.
japanese Spies Reported Active
"At Culebra Cut the normal slides
are bad enough. Two men could
plant dynamite-if they had a
slight knowledge of engineering
in the spot most likley to create
slide that would block the canal for
a month"
All of this mguarded territory,
in Mr.. ROunSevell'S opinion. provides
an open temptation to enviouS ma
lions. TO descend upon the canal at
the threat of war.
And before it would be possible
TO act. the whole canal would be
out OF COmmiSSion-perhapS for six
MONTHS he added. AS for the
Japanese. 1t should be pointed out
that IS per cent of them in the Zone
have no visible means means of
support. They run barber shops
in which they never cut hair. shirt
factories that never sell a shirt, and
restaurants that never serve a meal.
Their 'fiShermen-and I have
proved this-go out in small boats
of the canal and fish with steel
lines that have no hooks. Instead.
they have lead SinkerS. and it is
obvious they are taking SoundingS."

Insolvency Index
Climbs For June

Dun'S insolvency index for three
weeks of June is 63.1, compared
with 59.2 for May. which is the
lowest for that month or any
I month, since September, 1880.
The increase in June resulted
/ from the larger number of bust
, ness failures reported for the first
half of the month. A reduction
lis shown for the third week of
June.
8 Insolvencies continue to be
greatly reduced ir number, com,

years. For June, 1888, the inSol-
vency index was 1858. and for

that month in any year.

Bic STEEL RATE
DIP INDICATED

Steel operations in the week
beginning July 2 are indicated at
% per cent Of capacity, accord
ing to the American Iron and
Steel Institute. This compares
with AIT per cent a week ago.
a decrease of 21.7 points, or 4SR
per cent on a tonnage basis.
Two weeks ago the rate was
56.1 per cent, and a month ago
STA per cent. The latter is the
high record thus far for this
year.
Many steel plants have shut
down entirely for this week, or
until after independence Day.
This pulled down the average for
the entire industry. A more
rational steel operating rate
should be disclosed in week or
two, when some plants have re-
sumed operations. Operations
curing 1dIe July OF August 4AVW
ever, will depend upon new de-
mand for steel products which
at present is at an extremely low
level. It is too early to judge
the effects of the lower quota
tions for steel products, but pro-
ducers are hoping that the con-
cessions just made will bring in
some business.
The approach of the Independ-
ence Day holiday played only a
minor part in the severe drop in
steel operations in the past two
weeks. If steel plants had Suffi-
Gent orders on their books they
undoubtedly would have main
tanned operations. At least, no
such drop as that just recorded
would have occurred.
