another Brooklynite, who has
been enjoying a brief vacation
in his home town.
The youthful italian. who

annexing the municipal crown at

is one of the youngest golfers
in history ever to attain national
fame, plans an extensive training
campaign prepping for the Ma

week.
He should be aided greatly
when he plays in numerous
matches with Witty Cox the first
which is scheduled this afternoon
at the KenWood Club. Russ Hole

furnish the opposition.
S. G. Leofller, the top figure of

outstanding public linksmen.
Strafaci will remain in Wash

However he may take it a little
easy as he wants to gain back the
IA pounds that he lost during the

English Driver
Prepares For
Speed Try

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS
Utah, Aug. 31.-Sir Malcolm
Campbell, worlds fastest automo
bile driver, cooked his eye on the
weather vane today and decided
to give his famed Bluebird the
gun at the earliest possible mo
ment.
Tuesday noon at the latest he
hopes to send his 2,500-horsepoWe1
juggernaut hurtling along the Is
mile straightWay at this saline
course at speed never before at
tained by man. Early Fall rains
were forecast by the weather
bureau and the daring little Eng
lishman wanted to beat them.
Sir Malcolm today, SphinX-like
went about his preparations for a
measured mile trial. Sunday night
he will have the Bluebird in readi
ness, and Monday he hopes to get
her acquainted with the track.
He hopes to be ready for the Of
ficial test Tuesday.
"WilI you be able to make 800
miles per hour?" Sir Malcolm
was asked as he inspected the
course.
II don't know, nobody knows"
he replied, his steeI-gray eyes
flashing. "Ill do the best 1 can
and leave the rest up to the
GODS"
For the first time yesterday the
noted Briton rode over the course
not in the Bluebird, but in a bor
roWed stock car. He examined
every detail of the track.
I'm damned keen about these
salt flats" the holder of the
worlds record at 276 miles per
hour commented; "but I'm max
ing no predictions. I've learned
the more you know about this
business the more you jolly well
realize how little you actually
know. Success or failure rests
on the margin of a split second.
It's not a question of wanting
to break records. It's the thrill
of being behind the Wheel"

An interesting weekend at Lake Fasselborg was enjoyed by a flying party of six made up Of Verne Gorst, G. B. Leighton, Fred Raab, 2. J. Thompson, Bruce Ewen and ?, E. Alvord, who returned today vith a report that they caught
 inc mess of fish.
 The party made the trip in the Boe:ng flying boat with Gorst as pilot and spent two nights in the Pacific Alaska Airways cabin. They had planned to return Sunday but can of gasoline was found to contain water and an extension of the trip was necessary while some gas was obtained from the Talla- poosa. Just that many more fish were caught and enjoyed, members of the party reported.

tually many must be disappointed and probably alienated, for even four billions will go only so far.
 These local officials also brought to Washington stories of disap- pointments down at. the other end of the line-among the recipients of relief themselves.
 One mid-western mayor told the relief dispensers plainly they were making enemies in every direction Even those on relief, he said, were growing embittered because MT Hopkins social workers were pre- scriblng diets nobody liked. and in Sistlng on regulations for which no- body could figure out the reason.
 The remedy proposed by this par ticular city official was to place the whole problem of local administra- tion into the hands of the local democratic party organization which was pictured as also about tc join the ranks of the disgruntled because it had been ignored
 A Reason For Caution
 All in all, there are those versed in politics who think the expendi- ture of the work relief money may in the end. hurt MT. Roosevelt more than it benefits him politically. Per haps that helps explain the caution with which he proceeded.

Price Says Administration Finds Spending Four Billion
 Fm from Unmised Blessing 2

In announcing his selections for the important relief posts, the President adopted. manifestly for the same reason, a strangely con- fusing method of publicity.
 He announced on one day that Mir. Walker would head the "appli- cations division.' Almost everyone jumped to the conclusion that MT Walker would be the really big fig ure in work relief
 But next day. the White House announced that another tremen- dcusly important place would go to MT Tugwell The next day after that, Mfr. Ickes was disclosed as the king-pin of the set-up. and on the fourth day about the same thing happened to MT. Hopkins.
 It was all very confusing as many people supposed 1t was intended to be, but it salved some worried spir- its, and for the time being seems fo have left everyone concerned feeling pretty good.
 "Enomie3 Being Made"
 The new organization needed a halo of friendly cooperation and good fellowship about it's head to help withstand the shock which descended upon it almost immedi- atsly.

BODY OF YOUNG FLEEK FOUND ON
 DOUGLAS BEACH
Youth Drowned Last Janu- ary When Washed from
 Boat During Storm

Badly decomposed, the body of Everett Nelson Fleek, 23-year-old son of William A Fleek, Douglas machine shop proprietor, was found about o'clock this morning on the beach near Tresdwell. The discov- cry was made by City Marshal Charles Schramm of Douglas who notified the father. MT. Fleek, identified the body as that of his son who disappeared from his gas boat last January 20..
 Coroner J. F. Mullen had the body sent to the c. w. Carter Nor tuary here and it was not decided this afternoon whether an inquest would be held. It was announced that buarial will be held at l:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon with committal services at the grave in the family plot at Evergreen Cem- etery.
 Young Fleek, who was an employe of the A. J. mine, had gone to his boat at the City Float to arrange additional lines to keep the vessel from drifting away as the result of high waves caused by a strong Taku wind. When he failed to re- turn, and when the boat was found on the beach, an extended search was made but no trace of the young man could be found. It was assum- ed at the time that he probably had been drowned. He was believed to have been swept overheard when the boat went adrift.

 Washington is learning that the privilege of spending four billion dollars will not be, politically, an unlniXed blessing after all.
 The very bitter disputes which have broken out between federal relief officials and a half dozen state administrations tell only a part of the story.
 From the political viewpoint, MT. Roosevelt and his helpers in spend- ing must reckon with such other factors as the disappointment of local officials and private citizens who ask for money and receive none; the opposition charges of graft and political manipulation, whether it exists or not; the dan gers which turk in personal rival ries in the works relief set-up; and the complications which appear un- avoidable in the handling of re- lief funds down in the local com munities.
 Appointments Confusing
 A large part of the trouble be- gins right at home in Washington.
 Most of the key figures in the spending organization-partieularly MT. Ickes and MT. Hopkins-have made numerous enemies on Capitol Hill. To get the relief bill through at all the administration leaders had to give certain assurances that the authority of these men would be limited.
