An upset resulted in the 145-
grapple when Frobe of Cincinnati
f1attened Tommy Charles in 1:20,
but Cecil Wyant, Indianapolis flash,
threw White in one minute.
The 165 contest gave spectators
one of the thrills of the evening
when Jungbluth of the invaders out
fought Walt Bauman in one of the
closest decisions of the meet, and q
| fitting climax followed when Ed
Willsey went overtime with Vessel
of Cincinnati, to lose the decision
after IL minutes.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 13.-Blond
Jimmy Hines, Garden City IL. II
pro, today had assured himself a
place among leading links stars of

tory in the $4,000 Los Angeles Open

ago, when he bagged the $4,000
Riverside, Cal, open, had to fight
off a bad case of nerves as well as
the challenge of Henry Picard of
Hershey, Pa, before he won yes
terday.
Begins to Waiver
Starting his last 18 holes with an
aggregate of 206, three strokes ahead
of Picard, Hines continued his par
breaking golf until the fifteenth
hole then he began to waver.
Only the fact that Picard also
blew up on his last few holes kept
Hines from losing his lead as he
finished with a $50 and collected
$500. Picard finished with a 1884,
tied with Jimmy Thomson of Ridge
wood, N. j., for second place.
Picard and Hines had been tied at
137 each at the end of the first two
rounds, but Picard fell three strokes
behind at the end of the third round,
when he shot a 70, which he fol-
lowed in the final round with "a,
five over par.
FOcrth Is Shared
Vic Ghezzi of Deal, N. j., defend
ing champ, took 70 and got tie
with Mark Fry of Alameda, Cal,

RASKOB PROTESTS
INCOME TAX CASE
Charges Roosevelt Is Play
ing Politics in Action.

By United Prose
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is charged today with
playing politics at the expense of
his political opponents income tax
returns.
Former Chairman John j. Ras-
kob of the Democratic National
Committee raised the issue in pro-
test against Treasury action in seek
ing additional 1929 income tax from
Pierre S. du Pont.
Mr.. Raskob said the Treasury ac-
ton illustrated the tyranny which
could be inflicted by an Admins
tration hostile to a citizen honestly
opposing its socialistic policies"
This attack on Mr.. du Pont," the
RaSkob statement continued, lis
quite welltimed with respect to the
dinner of the American Liberty
League to be given in Washington
and strongly emphasizes the need of
work such as the league is I'M
oertaking if our citizens hope to
avoid losing our constitutional form
of government and instead having
substituted a government of in
Vulnerable alphabetical bureaus to
dictate the conduct of the daily lives
of each and every one of U.S."
Mr.. Raskob said he and du Pont
had sold securities to each other
''for the purpose of definitely es-
tablishing losses in the only way
such losses could be established un-
der the law. The transactions were
not questioned until now-more
than six years after their consuma-
tion," he said.
The Treasury commended the sales
were Fictitious" because the stocks
involved subsequently were repur-
chased by the sellers.
