ST. ANNE'S-O -THE-SEA. Eng
land, May 24.-William Lawson Little
jr.. of San Francisco tonight stood
on the threshold of doing what nc
other American ever has done and
which only two Britons have accom-
plished in so years-winning the
British amateur golf championship
two consecutive years.
The husky 24-year-old Pacific Coast
SHOEMAKER, who won the title in his
first bid for it year ago at PreStwick
and also holds the American amateur
championship, qualified today for the
36-hole final tomorrow, when he will
be matched against DR.. William Twed-
dell, himself a winner of the crown
in 1927.
In the quarter finals this morning
the defending champion made short
shrift of George L. @. Henriques the
42-year-old stock broker who had been
the sensation of the early rounds,
winning by the lop-sided score Of 6
and 4. This afternoon Little put out
Robert Sweeney, jr, formerly Of New
York and q resident of London for
many years, and 2.
Tweddell scored two noteworthy VIC
tories in advancing to the final. His

Wagner Bill GiUen
Tentative Approval
In Roosevelt Talk
By the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt discussed the
Wagner labor disputes bill with con-
gressional and labor leaders today, and
administration approval of its prin-
ciples was indicated.
For almost two hours the President
and his callers studied the measure
and the proposed extension of N. r.
A. in what was explained as an at
tempt to make the two proposals
harmonic as near as possible.
william Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, who
has warned that there would be a
general strike unless N. R. A. Is ex-
tended two years, attended the con-
ference, and said, on emerging:
THE conference was highly salts
factory"
The administration N. r. A. plan
tentatively fixed now at 211s months,
as contrasted with the 91a-month
limit voted by the Senate-is expected
to 60 through the House next week.
The White House conferees predicted
today the House then would consider
the Wagner bill, which already has
been passed by the Senate.
"It.. is my opinion" said Green,
"that the President Is sympathetic
and favorable to the act sponsored by
Senator Wagner. We will be very
happy II the N. r. A. and Wagner
bills are passed"
Those at the White House included
Secretary Perkins, Senator Wagner,
Democrat, Of New York, author Of the
bill: John L. Lewis. president Of the
United Mine Workers of America; ;
Donald r. Richberg. chairman of the
N. r.. A. board; Sidney Hillman, q
member OF the N. r. A. board, and
representatives Of the Attorney Gen.

COMPULSORY CAR
TESTS APPROVED
City Heads Adopt in Toto
Proposals Presented
by Committee.

Compulsory semi-annual mechan-
ical inspection Of all automobiles and
series of other proposals for bet
tering traffic law enforcement and
expedition of trials at Police Court
were approved today by the Com
missioners.
The city heads adopted in toto the
proposals of the committee of Dis
trict officials and civic workers which
were placed before them Tuesday
after weeks of study of TRAFFIC and
Police Court problems. Publication in
legal notices In the newspapers of the
names of all persons whose permits
are suspended or revoked for viola
ton of traffic regulations was one Of
the items. Other suggestions were
for legislation concerning service on
juries in Police Court and qualifica-
tons Of jurors. y
Program Drafted by Six.
The program was drafted for the
Commissioners by George w. Offutt,
chairman of the Traffic Advisory Com
mittee; H. Winship Wheatley, presi-
dent District Bar Association; George
Beasley, president Federation Of Civic
Associations; James G. Yaden, presi-
dent Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations; Richmond B. Keech, vice
chairman Public Utilities Commission,
and Edward Dent, District surveyor.
Corporation Counsel Prettyman and
Auditor Donovan were directed to go
over tentative drafts Of bills to put
the proposed program into effect.
These are to be sent to Congress when
finally approved.
The committee opposed the sugges-
ton for creation Of a magistrates
court system, proposed as a means of
reducing congestion at Police Court.
If that plan is taken up for recon-
sideration later 1t will not be until
just prior to the next session of Con-
gress, Commissioner Hazen said. The
committee was continued in service in
the meantime and may submit other
proposals later.
Test Urged by Van Duzer.
The proposed compulsory tests Of
automobiles was suggested some
months ago by Traffic Director Van
Duzer. 1t is based on the so-called
Memphis plan. All automobile owners
would be assessed fee of 81 to cover
the tests, to be made at District test
ing stations. In succeeding years the
fee would be so cents per car. An ap-
preparation of $4,000 is proposed for
establishing the test stations and a
sum Of SIS, 900 for employing the per-
sonnet.
Legislation to be drafted concern
ing Police Court machinery proposes
to take away from women their pres
ent prerogative of declining to serve
as jurors: to reduce the number of
cases in which jury trials may be de-
manded; to lengthen the term of Po-
lice Court jury panels to one month.
and to cut the number of reasons now
permitted for exemption of persons
from jury service.
The Commissioners have not fixed
date when publication of the names
Of drivers whose permits are suspended
or revoked will be started. This sub
ject has been placed in the hands of
Traffic Director Van Duzer to prepare
the program.

was made by McCarl's Office.
The committee then went into ex-

All seven Republican members OF

reported to have voted to lay the legis-

proved by the Senate.
McSwain Is Hopeful.
Chairman McSwain, obviously crest
fallen at the action, said it would not
necessarily kill the measure for this
session, as some committee member
could move to reconsider the vote to
table, or new bill could be introduced.

A committee member said one OF
those who voted to table had said he
would move to reconsider.
Maverick himself was ready with a
petition to force the committee to let
the legislation come to the floor. This
would require the signatures Of 217
House members.
The legislation would give the T
