HIGH COURT FIGHT
+ LOOMS ON WIRES
Right Of Lobby Committee
to Use Private Messages
Is Pivotal Point.

BACKGROUND
Senatorial investigation OF lobby.
ing has run into unprecedented
legal opposition as interests under
suspicion hare sought protection
through courts.
Issue raised on reueldtion that
probers had repietUed telegraph files,
NTH aid OF Communications Com
mission, OF groups opposed to con-
trouersial utility holding company
legislation.
Chicago law firm and Publisher
Hearst hare been leaders isa court
fight, but other publishers also
hare threatened proceedings.
BY the Associated Press.
A finish fight which probably will
end in the United States Supreme
Court appeared likely today over the
issue of a congressional committee IS
legal right to delve into operations OF
private industry through confscation
of records.
Revolving around the Senate Lobby
Committee and Publisher w. r.
Hearst's efforts to block the commit
tees use of kilograms of editorial in
struction, two major developments oc-
Cured yesterday.
In the Senate approval was given a
request Of Senator Black, Democrat, Of
Alabama, for $4,000 counsel fees by
which the committee might carry on
its legal defense. In District Supreme
Court Hearst counsel filed motion
for preliminary Injunction to keep
the committee from making any use
of the publishers kilograms while the
question is in litigation.
Black Assails Interests"
The Senate's action followed two
hour speech by Chairman Black in
which he charged an effort by special
interests to hamper Congressional in
vestigating committees, forecast an
effort to tie up the coming activities
Of the Campaign Funds Committee
with injunctions and predicted the
Hearst suit would ultimately 60 to the
Supreme Court.

Senator Steiwer, Republican, of Ore
gon, assailing the committee for is
suing what he termed unconstitutional
blanket subpoenas for kilograms. and
asserting that the courts had almost
universally condemned fishing ex-
petitions" in the private affairs and
efforts of citizens as illegal.
Blacks resolution authorizing the
employment of counsel was so drawn
that it must have the approval of the
House and the signature of the Presi-
dent before it can become effective.
This was done because of an existing
law limiting committee counsel fees to
$500 a month.
Freedom Of Press Urged.
Hearst first asked an injunction re-
straining the Western Union from de-
livering a particular telegram sub
poenaed by the committee, claiming
an infringement of the right of free
dom Of the press was involved. Al
ready equipped with copy of that
message, the committee sidestepped
the suit by withdrawing the subpoena.
Meanwhile, second Hearst suit,
that involved in yesterdays court
move, had been filed, asking an in
junction requiring the committee to
return all Hearst kilograms in its
possession to the publisher, to make
no use Of them and to refrain from
further efforts to obtain such messages.
The motion gave the committee and
the Federal Communications Commits
sion, also named as defendant, five
days in which to reply to Hearst's
allegations.

Young Crop Promising.

IN CONTRAST to the rather dis
= couraging international prospects
offered by the veterans, the sectional
Junior tournaments this year have
shown one of the finest crops Of
youngsters in many seasons.
If starting from the bottom is the
idea, frankie Parker, a seasoned"
player already, but still few years
away from the challenge round, might
be named the No. l player on the
squad, with Robert Riggs, the brilliant
Los Angeles youngster; Don McNeill,
the Kenyon College freshman from
Oklahoma City who cut wide swathe
during a brief Eastern tour, and Joe
Hunt, 17-year-old Los Angeles school
boy who was runner-up at Sea Bright,
as his teammates. A few other eSpe-
cially bright prospects may turn up
this week in the national Junior
championships at Culver, Ind.
Parker has been regarded as fine
prospect for several years and has had
the benefit of the constant coaching
of his guardian and discoverer. Mercer
Beasley. His one glaring weakness is
his forehand, but if he follows his
plan of devoting the coming year en-
tirely to tennis he may iron out that
fault to a considerable extent.
The others all have their faults,
which coaching and experience may
correct, but their success and stroke
equipment indicates they may go far
within few years. The main diff
Guilty seems to be that education may
interfere with their tennis develop
ment. Tennis officials, dreading the
tennis bum" tag, are firm about
keeping the boy in school.

TIME NOW IS RIPE
TO REBUILD TEAM
Veteran Material Hopeless
for Davis Cup Lineup,
Excepting Bulge.
Rg the Associated Press.

nv t[le ASSOCldlcu FIeSo'
N YEW YORK, August Am early
Summer tennis campaign
VI which has produced one sur
prise after another indicates
there may be no time like the present
for United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation authorities to start building a
new Davis Cup squad from the
ground up.
More than once it has been sug-
gested by competent critics that the
only way for American to regain the
trophy is to take a bunch of promis-
ing young players, give them plenty
of coaching and experience in tour
nament and international play, and
thus create a strong, well-balanced
team. The retirement of Wilmer Al
liSon, mainstay of the unsuccessful
teams in the last few years, makes it
almost imperative to start afresh.
Red-headed Don Bulge remains at
present the only American player who
looks good enough to compete on even
terms with the Australia, British and
German stars, even if Fred Perry does
decide to retire soon. Bitsy Grant
isn't the player on grass courts he is
on clay, and so long as Britain holds
the cup the challenge-round matches
will be played on the turf. Frank
Shields and Sidney Wood, not high
ranking players, have played little
tennis this year, and aren't likely to
come back. Jack McDiarmid, the
Texan, who won the Sea Bright tour
ney last week, may be prospect if he
retains the form he showed there, but
his status Is doubtful.

~ Tending champion, Marion
Miley Of Lexington, KY, and Mrs.
Austin Pardue of Chicago today as the
seventeenth annual women's Western
72-hole medal-play golf derby went

The long hitting miss from the Far
West turned in an exceptional job yes

scored four brides in carding 39-39-
78. Miss Miley shot 41-38-79, even
par on both sides of the Midlothian
Country Club Course, while Mrs. Par

Patty Berg, spectacular young Min

Soft Returns Stop Riggs.

"A FTER his victory over Gregory
Mangin at Sea Bright, Walter S.
Pate, non-playing captain of the 1886
Davis Cup team, commented that
Hunt had "better ground strokes and
a sounder all-round game than Winnie
Richards at IT." He proved a "suck-
er" for McDiarmids accurate place
nents and superb volleying, however.
Riggs. national clay court cham
pion. set a dizzy pace in his first grass
court tournaments until his rivals dis
covered he didn't know how to handle
soft returns.
In addition to that handicap,
Bobby's temperament may prove
troublesome to the Davis Cup moguls.
When he first came East this Spring
he dropped few hints about being
"snubbed" by California officials be-
cause of his lack of social standing
and assumed something of a I'm
ut-to-show-them" attitude.
McNeill, who dropped into the East
ern tournaments unheralded, without
even an expense account, made a
deep impression by winning the East
ern junior title, and at the same time
reaching the semi-hnals Of the East
ern clay courts tournament, before he
went back again. To that he added
the Western junior crown and is a
favorite in the national champion
ship, along with Hunt.
