VOU can figure the impending drama
for yourself. Here is Lawson Lit
tie, the California catapult, who has
won three amateur championships in
O row.
The slugging son Of Stanford has
hammered his way through 23' con-
secutive matches in the last two years
at Prestwick, Scotland; Brookline,
Boston and st. Annes, England,
against the pick Of the field.
Nineteen of these matches have
been over the killing 1s-hole route.
where anything can happen. after the
manner Of the small white ball spin
ming around roulette wheel.
No other golfer ever has equaled
this record on the amateur side. To-
day there will be more than Is con-
centration camps-more than Is
mobilization points-from Oregon to
Florida-from Texas to Maine-from
Louisiana to Minnesota-fromh hell to
breakfast and back again-with the
top cream of our amateur field trying
to qualify for a march on Cleveland
and possibly chance to halt the run
away march of the broad -chested,
long hitting Californian who has
picked up where Bobby Jones left off
All past champions are eligible.
This means that such veterans as
Chick Evans, Chandler Egan. Bob
Gardner, Jess Sweetser. Francis Out
met, Jesse Guilford, George Dunlap,
Max Marston, etc. can report to
Clevelan1 for match play September
9 without having to take the heavy
barrier that nearly a thousand golfers
must face today. And most of them
will be on hand. I'D a few of them
still can toss the poisoned harpoon in
the general direction Of impetuous

MANY possibilities for the position

declared the Legion will conduct shows

1T IS unfortunate that the wrangle
likely to ensue will not find Maj
Vandoren at hand to bring about q
fair and amicable settlement. The
late boxing commissioner was an able
lawyer, an equitable referee in dis
putes brought before the board. 1t
was he who formulated the rules and
regulations for legalized boxing in
the District and his code was widely
copied by State boards in control of
the fight game.
Maj. Vandoren, born in Hyattsville
IN 1895. was graduated in law from
Georgetown University in June. 1917,
and became a lieutenant in the Ma
rine Corps the following month. His
war record was brilliant. He served
with the I'd Division In France In
six major engagements and was dis
charged in September, 1919, as a cap
tain. 1t was after the war that he
became a major in reserve.
For conspicuous service in the
MeuSe- Argonne campaign, France
awarded him the croix de guerre with
gilt star and at scissors he won the
croix de guerre with silver star. In
the latter engagement he was severely
gassed, which resulted in the heart
affection that was the cause of his
sudden death.

fought a few good ones, too, and I
done all right. Matte Brown. for in
stance. There's a fellow that went
the limit with Louis. And Ford Smith,
the guy that stopped Art Lasky. My
record is better than YOU think"
It's obvious from these two cUt-rate
autobiographies that Buddy is a shyer
person than Mr.. Doyle. Buddy doesn't
like to talk. Doyle does and will, be-
tween choruses. He's hard worker
with both lungs. But in spite of his
winning personality, lovely face. and
dulcet pipes, he gets into trouble row
and then, as witness what happened
a couple Of weeks back.
Mr.. Doyles build-up tour took him,
as you may know, through the fens
and meadows Of New Jersey. In one
of the meadows he agreed to fight an
uncouth character named Leo Will
liams. Leo was expected to wilt and
fall on his left ear from the impact
Of Mr.. Doyle's hammering duke
People who can fall on their left ear
always are welcome on fight tours,
parties, and picnics because o. their
special talent.
He Wouldn't Be SOciable.
RUT suddenly, just before the battle,
there was an argument and the
sound Of many voices Prominent
among the latter was the velvet tenor
Of Mr.. Doyle. conveying the message
that he would not 60 through with
the fight. There were a great many
hoarse whispers. too. to the effect
that Leo Williams had broken his
sociable habit Of falling down (on
the left ear) and was planning to
punch right back at Mr.. Doyle.
Whatever the truth may have been,
the New Jersey Boxing Commission
promptly suspended Mr.. DOYLE or.
IA counts. There was a movement
on foot just the other day to suspend
him in New York State as well. This
would have dumped Mr.. James j.
Johnstons Baer-Doyle fight into the
soup, with $3.50 chance of staying
there.
But the matter has been straighten-
ed out, and Mr.. Doyle will fight MT.
Baer as advertised. One or the other
should win by knockout, though
the distance. in consideration OF
Buddy's tender age, is only six rounds
Perhaps they will both win by a
knockout. so strong is habit in the
human breast.
Anyway, the bout will prove some
thing. 1t won't be necessary to call
in Mr.. Sherlock Holmes to solve the
baffiing case of the two canaries who
say they can fight.

this surplus producing region will

emphasis on a revival Of export mar
kets, rather than the present policy

correspondent found surprising
amount of sentiment among the farm
ers in favor of making the A. A. A.
production control program a perma-
nent national policy. In the distressed
wheat belt Of Western Kansas there
appears to be an increasing DISPOSE
tion to oppose return to the old
plan Of mass production. at least
until foreign markets actually are
found.
The view expressed by many Of the
farmers interviewed was:

better by sitting at home and pro-
ducing less, that the larger crops We
raise the less profit we make from

Whether these benefits to the East
have decreased during the depression.
due to the general decline OF busi-
ness, or the fact the consumer Is pro-
testing more vigorously against in
creasing food prices, has made little
difference to the farmer. His answer
generally is that for many years the
consuming East has bought foodstuffs
at less than the cost Of production.
which brought about the depletion Of
the farmers capital and contributed
largely to the present plight Of West
ern agriculture.
The Eastern consumer blames the
processing tax largely for the increased
cost Of living; the Midwestern farmer
counters by saying the cause is the
drought and short crops, which have
hit his pocketbook harder than any
tax on the consumer. The fear Of
food strikes in large cities in protest
against high food costs has not
reached the farmer.

In their present mood the mass Of

FARM BELT VOTE.
6. 0. P. Must Offer as Much
in Subsidy to Carry
Midwest.
BY THEODORE C. AFFORD.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, September Is
INAN.A).-Any political group seek
ing to win the votes next year of the
Middle Western farmer from President
Roosevelt must be able to offer as
much in Federal subsidies as the pres
ent administration, or a workable
substitute.
Contrary to reports in the East, this
correspondent has found, after trav-
cling several hundreds of miles
through Kansas and Missouri, that
the farmers are for the A. A. A. pro-
gram, and are not prepared to desert
Mr.. Roosevelt. There are many things
they do not like about the admins
tration of the A. A. A., particularly
among the corn-hog farmers. But the
Government checks, particularly in
the areas of greatest distress, are
proving most potent as political argu-
ments on behalf of the administration.
One Western Kansas farmer, soon
to turn over his land to an insurance
company, thus expressed the view
point of majority of the farmers in
terviewed: I'VE are not sold on the
soundneSs of the Government farm
program, but on the necessity"
Kansas Firmly "SOld."
In Kansas, where SAL 100000 in
Government subsidies has been dis
tributed among about 100000 farmers
in the last year, the devotion to the
A. A. A. was found even more pro-
nounced than in Missouri, where about
10000 farmers received A. A. A. checks
totaling s28 100000. Most of the Kan
sas checks have been for reduction
in wheat acreage; and in Missouri for
reducing the production of corn and
Evening star., 1935-09-25

hogs. The A. A. A. wheat program
has worked much more to the farmers
liking than the corn-hog program.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is not as popular
among the farmers of the Middle West
as a year ago, but he has slipped not
nearly as much as he has in the in.
dustrial East. The rising opposition
in the East, especially to the A. A. A.
processing tax. has tended in farm
ing communities to enhance the Pres
ident's popularity, If not to gain
strength generally for all his policies.
The increasing conflict between the
views of the East and the West, most
of which goes back to the question
of self-interest, has emphasized the
difficulty confronting the politicians
of both parties in formulating farm
plank satisfactory to both sections.
The Democrats undoubtedly will be
compelled to adhere to the A. A. A.
policies, as the Republicans were COM
PEELED in 1882 to approve the unpopu-
lar Federal Farm Board Of the last
administration. On the other hand,
The Republicans probably will be forced
to devise a new plan of farm aid to
please the Western farmer without
alternating the business and consumer
groups of the East, which must pay
most of the cost of rehabilitating
Western agriculture. This is q task
for giant minds.
Checks Held Rights"
The Middle Western farmer insists
on a continuation Of some form of
cash subsidies, at least equivalent to
what he is receiving now through the
A. A. A. He does not look at his
checks as a form of Government re-
lief or as charity, but as matter of
right-something due him in return
for the tariff benefits received for
many years by the industrial East

itself upon "the household OF
the nation" the people came to
realize that the course of train.
ing given in these schools of citi.
zenShip had a far greater sig.
nificance than the mere build.
ing up of military reserve.
The only requirements for en-.
trance into these camps for the
first year of training was that
the candidate be between the
ages of II and "a, of good moral
character, and able to read and
write English. No previous mill.
tary training was required. A
considerable proportion of the
C. M. C. T. recruits were city
dWellerS. In these camps they
were provided with a month
away from the overcrowded at
mosphere of the urban popula
ton. The organiza t ion for
which they volunteered led
them in learning ideals of Amer
lean citizenship and govern.
ment and lessons of hygiene
and discipline.
BENEFITS OF CAMPS
Employers we're quick to real
lze the tremendous benefits be-
slowed upon young men who
went through these camps. In
addition to this, the candidates
were given careful physical ex-
animation and noculation
against smallpox and typhoid.
All of this contributed to
higher standard of public health,
a more useful citizenship and
stronger national defense.
The results of the Citizens
Military Training Camps since
their establishment have been
so gratifying that President af.
ter President and Congress after
Congress have united in CON-
mending them as an American
institution worthy of strong Fed
eral support.
Inc only enemies which these
Citizens Military Training
Camps have developed have
come from the ranks of what
Theodore Roosevelt called "the
foes OF our own household"
The Sappers against "the com.
mon defense" are against these
camps. The opponents of that
more perfect union" which the
trainers of the Constitution had
in mind when they established
the Government of the Constitu-
tlon are against these camps.
So are all the dupes of alien in
trigue in our midst.
But a Congress calling itself
American ought more than ever
to go to the support of the Citi-
zens Military Training Camps.
And the way to do that is not
by reducing but by doubling
this year the appropriation of
the comparatively small sum re-
quired for their support.
