PUZZLED BY
NRA RULING
Crack News Man, Here to
Study Effects of Decision,
Surprised at Court Action

Surprised at the decision of
your Supreme Court on NRA?
Indeed, 1 was surprised"
And that is the reason why Sir
Percival Phillips, K.B.E., crack spe-
cial correspondent of the London
Daily Telegraph, has come to
Washington.
For the repercussions of that
momentous dictum are not con-
fined to the borders of the U. S. A.
When the New Dealers played
their ace two years ago this
month, observers across thte Allan.
tic eagerly awaited the next move.
And when the high court
trumped the New Deal ace, this
journal of conservative London
opinion called it's outstanding re-
porter in from a mission in Ger
many, and late yesterday Sir Per-
cival, with 200 other newsmen, was
listening to President Roosevelt
outline the future of tthe National
Recovery Administration.
Decision PuzzIing
Fresh from months of observa-
ton of the regimes of Mussolini
and Hitler, Sir Percival today told
The Washington Times:
THAT after two years of de
factO existence your National
Recovery Administration should
be stripped of its powers by the
Supreme Court puzzles and sur
priseS me.
Unconstitutional? Illegal del
egatiOn of powers? So the
court has ruled. But still, the
NRA has been a functioning
actuality ever since 1 came here
at its inception in 1933."
Veteran of every world news
"break" in the last two decades,
Sir PerciVal is careful to avoid
being cast in the role of a critic.
He emphasizes that his is to paint
for English readers a picture of
the aftermath of NRA on social
and economic life in the United
States, and he intends to remain
in Washington for that purpose
for another 10 days.
Hitler'S Rule "StrOng"
Turning to European develop
ments, Sir Percival asserted that
the Hitler government in Ger
many is equally as strong as that
of Mussolini, adding:
Both countries are in the
hands of a welI-cOntrolled au-
tOcracy. The people do as they
are told and there is no sign
of revolt.
"Sir Oswald Mosely and his
black shirts? He has no chance
Of obtaining power unless chaos
develops in England. can
conceive of no such develop
ment."
Sir Percival explai-,.ed that a
sense of contentment anG we'll
being is evident throughout Brit
ain. The English middle class
has been freed of much of is tax
burdens, although the wealthy
class has not received Similar ia
vors, he said.
Wages Increased
The working classes in labor
and industry have been granted
wage increases and are much

parts on the continent. Gill SER

GOOD GOLF
 By BiU KHSh

The past golf season was a triumph of youth, repeated in practically every state. Everywhere, it was youth that marched to victory, eyes bright, cheeks flushed, proud and very happy. The veterans slipped their clubs into their bags with one defeat after another and silently departed.
 They will be back again, and maybe when they return they will assault youth so vio- lently that they will carry everything before them, be- cause the old golfer, if he mustdie, will die hard.
 Incidentally, it was a most wonderfully successful golf year. Four continents were ablaze with it's interests and it's games.
 GOLF DON'TS
 Don't fuss. Fussiness is next to seriousness.
 Don't argue. The rules are the rules.
 Don't debate = even with yourself: /: there is the hole: l: there are your clubs.
 Don't hesitate. Hesitation shows weakness, and your op- ponent will notice it.
 Don't move your head--let it be your anchor.
 Don't let the hands get into the down-stroke too quickly. Cultivate the feeling of hitting with the club head.

Young players populating the Baldwin street section of the city known as the Abrigador, made bas- ketbaIl history last night with one of the most thrilling hoop games among junior competitors through out the city this season. Many years hence, when some great Eames played on the new Wash 5ngton Hill Community court are talked about, someone will be sure to mention the 19 to IS victory or the Tribune Juniors over the washington Hill Juniors, accom- plished after a long five minute overtime period of play.
 Hard Luck
 Personal fouls cost the young Hills the game, for they had to play the last minute of the game with only four players after each team had scored seven field goals. Phelan forthe Tribunes was out standing while Grady and Martin scored 10 of the losing teams 1S points. At half time the Tribes led by the same margin they had fin- ished, and 8 to scode. Summary:

 To. come right out and say so, Sir 2 Malcolm Campbell will not make | another attack on his worlds land z speed record of 272.108 miles an < hour until he is given perfect i beach, a beach hard as concrete \ from the boardwalk where he | calls ''contact", to Halifax inlet { where he pulls Bluebird up.

 It wasn't a happy Campbell who folds of how he planned to wa t 1t out if it took ali summer. The man is sensitive, and he fels,. probably
 with some cause, that Daytona Beach officials, who invited him
 to make the run, and who well

 Campbell made 1t clear that un- less he went for the record within the next two days he probably would be forced to wait until the 18th for a full moon and flood tides. For some reason he has a hunch that the next few days
 may give him a perfect beach. Asked to visit Miami, and other cities he refused.

 It is reported that with in a few weeks the Columbian Squires Golf team will swing into action against such teams as Springfield, New Haven, and may other leading teams throughout New England and New York state.
 The question has been asked time and time again why does the Fulton A. c. dodge the challenge of the Columbian Squires? If the writer remembers correctly game spective teams and for some un-
