resolutions committee under chair- Il1anship of Robert P. Wagner of New York. The chief points of friction were over the farm program and the proposal for Q constitutional amendment. On the farm plank, the presidents original ideas suf- fered little change in the hands of the platform drafters, the demand of Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace for 0 federal crop insur- ance pledge being discarded except for Q vague statement to aid dis- aster victims.
 The platform contained Q mon- opoly plank calling for fearless en- forcement" of the antitrust laws and pledged. a balanced budget at the earliest possible moment"
 Denounced c. o. P.
 Its main theme was renunciation of the republican party and lau. datory recital of New Deal accom- plishmentS, but 1t was phrased in the broad and often vague lan- guage which the president had sug. gested 50 that 1t would be accept able to both conservatives and lih- erals, leaving Mrs. Roosevelt free to interprete as the campaign pro- greSses.
 Again and again the blanks start- cd off with i've pledge" or i've advocate, but for the most part the platform bore the imprint of the presidents objectives with little con- cession indicated toward either con- servative of left-wing factions of the party.
 Proposals Submitted
 Specific proposals included:
 Continuation of federal powers against "malefactors of great wealth who .defraud and exploit the peo- ple."
 Expansion of the present founda- tions for social security.
 Continuance of the rural electri- fication program.
 Broadening of the federal housing program.
 Protecting the right of labor to bargain collectively and continua- ton of the New Deal program against sweatshops and child labor.
 Continuation of unemployment re- lief as "a national problem" and of public works projects.
 Extension of the merit system for federal job holders.
 Reduction of the national debt.
 Obligations to Citizens
 The platform set forth that: Government in Q modern civiliza. ton has certain unacceptable obli- gations to its citizens, among which are: CD Protection of the family and the homefn (2) Establishment Of Q democracy of opportunity for all the people: (3) Aid to those overtaken by disaster"
 Greatest interest centered on the platform plank headed: "Ths con- stitution,"
 In 1t, the democratic party as- serted that the republican platform had drawn the battle line by at- tempting to solve vital national problems "solely by action of the separate staets."
 We know" the plank continued, that drought, dust storms, floods, minimum wages, maximum hours, child labor and working conditions Tn industry, nlonopolistic and unfair business practices cannot be ade- quately handled exclusively by 48 state legislatures, 48 separate state

 c. o. P. Avoided It
 But, if that is not possible, 6 pledge to seek a clarifying constitutional amendment. The republican plat form avoided mention of possible constitutional changes, but the party's nominee, Governor Ali M. Landon, declared for constitutional amendment if necessary to permit states to regulate hours and wages and working conditions for women and children.
 3. A democratic pledge to con- tinue its reciprocal tariff policy which the republican platform de- nounced and demanded repealed.
 4. A New Deal declaration for continuance of present monetary policies designed to maintain "a permanent sound currency so stabi- lized as to prevent former wide fluctuations" The republican plat- form demand for sound currency and international cooperation to- ward stabilization was interpreted by Landon to mean 8 return to the gold standard when feasible.
 s. A democratic challenge to compare three years of New Deal recovery with 12 years of republi- canisin that left our nation sore- ly stricken"
 The republican platform de- Ilounced the New Deal activities as "insufferable" in contrast with the democratic endorsement of the Rooseveltian administration and a sweeping pledge for continuance of its program.

 1o36 Republican-We pledge to stop the folly of uncontrolled spend- ing and balance the budget by cut- ting expenditures drastically and immediately.

We will continue to seek by mutual agreement the lowering of tariff barriers against our exports, but continue to give adequate pro- lection to our farmers and manu- lecturers against unfair competition.

1923, say, I would be sitting in the poor house right now. And in 8 back room, too. The dough I've won wouldn't come anywhere naer cov- ering my expenses.
 Pros Give More
 "The golf pros give more and get less than any other skilled athletes in the world. Let me show you what mean with a few figuers. Take the first four tournaments down here. The total prize money was $l9,000, but more than $6,000 of 1t was contributed by the pros them- selves in entry fees, leaving an ac- tual total of $l3000. To compete for this $13,000 about 150 profess sionals came from the east. Let's see what it cost them. Transporta- ton was roughly $100. Room and board was about $50 Q week which means $200 for the month. Caddy fees were easily $l0 @ week, and there was $5 more a week for balls. That means each pro spend ct least $360 during the month, even if he didn't buy drink, have Q shirt laundered, or get Q haircut. Multi ply that by 150 and you have $64, 1000 the pros paid for the right to coril- pete for a fourth of that amount. And don't forget the publicity they gave the places they played.
 And what chance did any one professional have of winning de- cent-sized chunk of the prize money? Durn little, for competition is 50 hot now that you have to be warmer than Q five-alarrn fire to finish anywhere in the money. If you don't believe me, just remember that 8 score of 282-which is six uil-. der even fours-was good for >no better than fifteenth place in the Sarasota open." V"
 Sarazen Has An Idea
 To aid the professionals whom he describes as those gypsies of the fairways who live for the day and let tomorrow worry for itself"-Sar- azen has an idea for an annual golf sweepstakes, which would serve as the Kentucky Derby of golf. This tournament would be played in De- ccmber of each year-one year 1n the east, the next in the west.
 Tn prize money for this tourna- ment of tournaments would be $76,- GOO.
 And I'll tell you where the money would come from Sarazen said. Tt would come from the combined entry fees of all profess sional tournaments getting the money. Let the entry fee be placed in 6 kitty and played for in the great sweepstakes tournament. The way tournaments are run now, ev- erybody benefits but the profession- als.
 Let me explain. Say Wahoo Gen. ter wants to put on 6 tournament for e little publicity. Does 1t cost Wahoo Center anything? No. They get 200 of the professional suckers to end and pay $i0 each. They make $2,000. With any sort of Q gate Wahoo Center chamber of commerce can raise the extra $500 to make up the $2,500 purse 1t has so proudly announced. In short, the way tournaments are run now, the poor professionals travel ell over the country playing for their own money. It's e racket.

 Game in Canada
Rx unIfed Fressl

The Montreal Maroons and New York Americans remained in 9 deadlock for second place in the International division of the Na- tional Hockey League today. The Maroons picked up two points with a 5-2 victory over the leading To- ronto Maple Leafs in one of the widest games of the league has seen in recent years. The defeat cut the Leafs margin to four points. ~.
 The Americans stayed tied by whipping the New York Rangers, 6-3, their, first victory in three starts this year against their city rivals. e The Maroon game created an un- odlcial penalty record of 140 min- utes as the teams engaged in wild fight in the last period. It started when Hooley Smith of the Maroons and Red Hcrner began trading punches. Members of both teams jcined in the scrap and belted each l other with sticks and fists more than i've minutes. They quit from sheer. exhaustion.
 Horner, Smith and Lionel Co., nacher of the Maroons each were given major penalties and David- son of Toronto received minor. The four started fighting in the penalty box and al were given an additional 10 minutes. The three double major, to Smith, Conacher and Horner, were the first of that penalty to be dealt out on the cir- cult in several years.
 The Maorons led all the way, chalking up three goals in the first period.
 The Americans came from behind twice and won with three goals in hte second period and two in the third.

NTIMENT FOR
 OF STYMIE STARTS
State Golf Association Asks for U. s. c. A.
 Sanction
BY FRANK MURPHY

'Hlled Press Staff Correspondentl
 Eo1ton, January 3 = (UP) - Abolition of the Pesky Stymie, the Waterloo of many 6 players cham r10n1hip aspirations, will be urged Hg the Massachusetts Golf AsSocia- ton ct the annual United States Golf Association meeting in New york January II.
 Charles E. Mason, president of the rational delegates of strong anti NtyInie sentiment prevailing in this NaV Etate Association, will inform district. Should the U. s. c. A. look with disfavor on this proposal to break with golfing tradition, Mason xsIl hsk as an alternative that abo- 1Iflon of the StyInie by individual states be sanctioned.
 we have the authority to do away with the Stymie in Massachusetts tournament play" Mason said, but before doing SO we would like to have the approval of the U. s. Golf Association"
 The Massachusetts movement for kyutIawing golf's nerve-wracking s1tinp shot" was crystallized in Q uoll conducted among a croSs-sec- ton of low-scoring amateurs, pro- poll showed 76 per cent voting Tor fesssonals and club executives. The abolition of the StyInie, 20 per cent 1ayortng its retention, and per cent Ion the fence"
 The states leading amateur and only scratch player, the veteran, Francis Ouimet, has revealed him- self as among the neutrals. Ouimet, former national amateur and na- fl0nal open champion and Walker Cup captain. told the United Press that he plays golf "only for the fun of 1t" and that personally he rule is kept or discarded. Ouimet d0esia't care whether the Stymie recalled, however, that there hahve heen many unfortunate instances" where stymies worked hardships in match play. If, as in medal play. match golf were conducted without tho stymie he feels 1t wouldn't make any particular difference.
 The opinion here was that 1t 1nand to induce U. s. c. A. heads to would take time and general de- lift the stymie rule. Sentiment in Ht6de Island and New Hampshire zs also against the stymie. New xork's Metropolitan Golf Associa- ton is understood to be deliberating tho question.
 The anti-stymie movement re- raifed innovations" which in the nast years have legalized the ribbed- faced mashie Niblick, the steel shaft ed club, and successive changes in tho size and weight of the golf ball.

 Coral Gables, Fla, Jan. 3-(UP) --The biggest suckers in all the world of sport are those nomads of the niblick, the golf professionals who are ever on the move from tournament to tournament.
 They start poor, they're poor in the middle, and they. end poor.
 This despite the fact that of all the men who work at games for a living, they are the most skillful.
 This appraisal of the touring golf professional belongs to Gene Sara zen-one of their leaders-and was given to me today just before the stocky little Italian teed of in the annual Miami open.
