and runner-up at Wimbledon last
year, dropped only one game as she
defeated Miss M. Gable, little known
British player, in the first round of
the all-England tennis championships
today The scores were 81, 60.
Miss Jacobs, who had been playing
far below her form since taking i'll
in Vienna last month, looked inyin-
cible as she opened a bid for the
title she has never held. Last year
she was beaten by Helen Wills Moody
in the finals.
Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of New York
and Stamford, Conn, also won her
first round match, defeating Miss
Gethin- Harry of England, Ga, So.
Bryan Grant, jr., Of Atlanta, who
came from behind to defeat Helner
Henkel of Germany in the singles
yesterday, paired with Gerald STRAIT
ford of San Francisco and defeated
Clifford Howell and Jack Wright of
England, 6-l, 60, 6-3, in a first
round match.
David Jones, former Columbia Uni
versity ace, paired with Daniel Prem,
former German Davis Cup star, to
defeat Eric Filby and Donald Cook
of England in a flrst-round match,
Ga, GO, 60.

Australian Davis Cup combination, also
came through with a straight set VIC
tory. They eliminated the Czecho-

j. Caska, 6-3, 6-3, rs.
Marie Louise Horn of Germany
eliminated, Mrs Sarah Palfrey Fabyall
of Brookline, Mass. 6-3, IS, In the
first round Of women's singles.
The methodical German lacked Mrs
palfreys dash and fire, but kept peltine
the ball back at her in robot fashion
The American uncorked every shot in
her repertoire, but the German frau
lein returned practically everything
that came her way.
Mrs. Palfrey, previously regarded as
one of Americas brightest hopes for
the title relinquished by Mrs Moody,
obviously was off her game. She
double-faulted repeatedly and over
shot the baseline consistently.
Katherine Stammers, one OF the
British favorites, eliminated Vera
King, 81, GO.
Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn,
veteran American combination, easily
won their first-round match in the
doubles, defeating the Hungarian team

70 REQUESTS ON FILE
Local Firms Confirm Need
for Workmen SchooIed
in Mechanics.
BY JOHN JOHNSON

A shortage of tool die makers,
machinists, machine repair men and
trained workers for similar jobs in
indianapolis and Indiana was dis
closed today by the Indiana Employ
ment Service, which now has re-
quests for 70 persons qualified for
such work.
The shortage was confirmed by a
personnel official of the Diamond
Chain and Manufacturing Co., who
said that his firm had noticed a
shortage of trained machinists
during the last two years.
He attributed part of it to De-
troit factories farming out their
tool and machine work to places
where enough skilled workmen are
not available.
An employment officer of the j.
D. Adams Manufacturing Co. said
that, although his concern had no
need of such workers now, he was
not sure he could find them if need
ed. He ascribed the shortage in
part to increased business activity
in the durable goods industries.

With the primary election over
in Indiana interest in the matter
seems to be tagging here. WPA

about the report, but are again
praising the administration of
Wayne Coy. both as state and
regional WPA director.
Mr. Coy has charge of the states
from which most of the complaints

Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
But he remains in high favor with
Mr.. Hopkins, his accomplishments
having brought him a special inv,-
tation to the White House, where
he presided at showing of Indiana
WPA in pictures some weeks ago.
1t is considered unlikely that the
report will censure him further than
stating he may be guilty of mild
indiscretions on the political side in
Indiana.
Senator VanNuys is said to credit
his insistent plea for a probe with
the political success of his faction
in the st. Joseph County Demo-
cratic primary. That was the spot
to which he directed special atten-
ton in making his charges of WPA
political coercion.

Approximately $3,OOO,0oo would be

The Senate passed the bill yes

"A multitude of highway trans
portation services now have been
built into the daily living of the
American people" the Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads
said in urging passage of the meas
ure.
Since 1916 the states and the
Federal government have been
working in excellent cooperation on
this gigantic task. The imperative
need for this measure is III the fact
that the states should have know
ledge of congressional action in
order to arrange to continue their
participation.
