Mrs. Harrington - Hetty Best Harrington

bright colors and bright makeup and made

D. c. GOLF AST|R
OVER NJ kENZ|E,
SPENCERPLAY

Local golf clubs we're a-buzz
today with the first round
achievements of Ronald R. Mac
Kenzie, Congressional Country
Club pro, and Cliff Spencer,
Beaver Dam Country Club pro,
in the National Open champion
ship at the Oakmont Country
Club, Pittsburgh, yesterday.
Mackenzie reeled off a par
matching 70 to gain second place.
He had held the lead until Alvin
Kruger, 28-year-old Wisconsin,
came in as dusk was falling
with a sub-par II. Spencer
wasn't far overshadowed by
Kreuger and Mackenzie, shoot
ing a 70 to place him in a four
way deadlock with Jimmy
Thompson, Herman Barron and
Horton Smith for third place.
Leo j. Walper, Bethesda driving
range pro, taking IS, was prac-
tically out of it.
Beach Cards II
Ralph Beach, Baltimore pro,
carded IT while AL Houghton,
Kenwood pro, and Bobby Cruick-
shank, Richmond pro, each
scored rs. The latter pair was
tied with six others for forty
third place.
Skillful putting enabled Mac
Kenzie to match par. He was out
in 80, one over par, but came back
in "a, one under par. All told, Mac
Kenzie used but % puts, remark
able putting on those tricky Oak
mont greens.
Plays Fine Golf
Spencer, who has been playing
fine golf since the middle of last
summer, doomed long tee shots
straight down the Oakmont fair
ways and also trundled in much,
needed puts. He took 81 strokes
on the first nine and SO on the
back nine.
Providing acKenzie and
Spencer don't suffer bad slumps
in today's 18:hole round, they
should easily qualify for the final
So holes tomorrow. So also should
Beach, Houghton and Cruick'
shank, if they can duplicate yes

not born with natural skill.
Upon her arrival in this coun-
try for her exhibition series, Miss
Wethered declared:

years to break 100.

tice and be patient. This fact
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-06-07

should encourage those buffers
who feel they lack a natural
bent for the game"
Miss Wethered also gave valll-
able tips that men and women
golfers alike should follow. She
advised taking the club back
slowly as possible on the back
swing, keeping the left wrist we'll
under the shaft on the top of the
swing. That will permit a smooth
er motion on the down swing.
Pairs With Mcleod
Miss Wethered will be paired
with Freddy Mcleod, veteran Co
lumbia Country Club pro, against
Mrs. Glenna Collett Ware, Phila'
delphia, several times former
women's national champion, and
Roland R. Mackenzie, Congress
sional Country Club pro. Mac
Kenzie stands second in the race
for the National Open champion
ship at Oakmont as the result OF
his par-equalling y in yesterdays
opening 18-ho1e round.
Tickets for the match, costing
$1.1O, have been placed on sale
at all local clubs, A. G. Spald
ing and Bro, Woodward anc
Lothrop's and at headquarters OF
the various governmental golf as
sociations. There will be plenty
of free parking space on the East
side of Connecticut Avenue di
rectly opposite the clubhouse en-
trance. Proceeds, if any, will be
donated to charity.

Kenzie with a subpar II, was

first three holes of his second

Taking a birdie four on the
long first hole, he shot straight
fours also into the next two cups.
Sarazen lost a stroke at the long
fourth, where he was in trap.
He played conventional golf at
the fifth to get par, then holed
a 20-footer at the sixth for
birdie. He was in a trap with
his tee shot at the seventh, then
played safely out of the sand to
the fairway, and finally pitched
home eight feet from the pin and
knocked the putt in.

attitude of bankers, as the class which
imagined that it was chiefly affected

This was not surprising, since the
phenomenon was and is Of frequent

Cry Of Imitation Answered.
Unfortunately this is all too true.
You are witnessing the same phe-
nomenon again today. You are hear
ing the same cry that the banking
bill means reckless infiation-that
the purpose Of the bill Is to obtain
control of the banks so that the
administration may be able to finance
an endless series of Government de-
flcits. The complete answer to this
bugaboo Is that If the administra-
ton had such q purpose it would
not need this bill, for this or any
other administration will always find
means to raise the funds which the
representatives of the people in Con-
gress have appropriated.
AS a matter Of fact, the administra-
ton has at its command, in the
sterilization fund and under the So
called Thomas amendment, more thar
five billions Of unexpended dollars
Demand for the purchase of Govern

of these facts, do you believe the

you that the administration wants the
banking bill enacted in order to enable

Commission, against pensions Of all
kinds, both State and national-in
short, against all that enlightened
legislation which has long since been
accepted and now forms the basis OF
such economic and social advance as
we have achieevd.
Scouts Charge Of Politics.
II 1t 10 fair to charge that the Fed
eral Reserve Board is political. then
the same accusation must be made
against the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, against the Federal Trade
Commission and against other gov
ernmental bodies the members Of
which are nominated by the President
and confirmed by the Senate. Expert
ence has demonstrated that these
bodies have consistently acted not for
political advantage, but In the public
interest.
Some of the opponents of the bill
are raising all the familiar bugaboos
that they have so often trotted out
In the past whenever any attempt has
been made in the interests of the
country as q whole to limit their in
fluence in national affairs. I think
that Mr.. Walter Lippmann well stated
the tone and temper of these irrecon-
ciliable opponents when In recent
article he referred to their hysterical
methods. He pointed out that they
tell us in one breath that we are
threatened with o grave emergency
because of the dangers Of uncontrol-
liable imitation, while in the next
breath they tell US that no emergency
exists which requires the enactment
of this legislation, designed as 1t Is to
enable us to deal effectively with just
such an emergency. As Mr.. Lipp-
mann says with reference to the In
consistency of these opponents: 1T
does not make sense. II We are faced
with these hideous dangers. are we
not criminally negligent If we fail to
AK clearly the responsibility for avert
ing them?"
As say. this cry Of wolf" Is not
new. I have had occasion to delve into
the history of banking legislation and
I note with some degree OF con-
