NEUTRAL ACT
EXTENSION
ASSURED
May !, 1887, Date Set
as Senate Rejects
Clark Proposal
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

A1Eef08gAVH8A N@Wo D0rVtCo
Extension Of the present tenn
porary neutrality act until May !,
1897, was assured today when the
Senate rejected an amendment to
the pending neutrality resolution,
which would have limited the ex-
tension to June / Of this year.
An amendment, offered by Sen
ator Clark Cd Of Missouri, to
test whether the Senate would
enact q permanent neutrality law
at the present session was de-
feated, 81 to i6. It was opposed
by the old irreconcilables and by
Administration leaders. The reSo-
luton for extension passed the
House yesterday by the overwhelm.
ing vote Of 353 to ~.
Plea For World Peace
The 16 Senators voting for the
9O-day extension were:
Bone. Clark, Costigan, Donahey,
Holt. Mrs. Long. Pope. Schwellen-
bach and Thomas (Oklahoma) i,
Democrats; Barbour, Capper, Fra
zier, Morris and Vandenberg, Re-
publicans; La Toilette, Progress
sive, and Benson, FarmerLIaborite.
Just before the vote, Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic
floor leader, made an impaSsioned
plea for world peace. He pointed
out America wanted peace and
had signed the Briand-Kellog
antiwar pact in hopes Of avoiding
war, He added:
"But other signatOries to that
pact, who pledged themselves
never to 90 to war. have gone
TO war. II Is q clear fact that
it Ii not always to rely upon
these treaty obligations to keep
the peace. We propose to keep
that treaty. We do not propose
to help any other nation to viO-
late It's obligations under that
treaty"
In opposing enactment Of per.
manent neutrality legislation now,
Robinson said there was great
doubt whether any agreement
could be reached In Congress over
q number Of controversial issues.
The extension program would
authorize the President to:
/. Embargo sale, expectation
and transportation Of American
war munitions to any foreign
power at war, except those on
the American continent.
2. Ban shipment Of war muni-
tions to warning nations on
American vessels.
3. Prohibit use Of American
ports as bases by submarines Of
warning nations or as bases for
shipment Of war munitions to
warning nations.
4: Warn Americans they ira
vel on merchant ships Of war
ring nations at their own peril
5 Prohibit private loans or
extension Of credits, except or.
binary commercial credits, to
any warning nation.

Frontier Established
That ushered in the second
phase of the conflict in which
the British, definitely fright
ened, hastily rushed reinforce
ments to Egypt last october.
Now British officers say they
could not have held Egypt
against Italian troops in Libya
last october. Today they have
$4,000 to $4,000 British troops
along the heavily fortified Libyan
frontier, and feel they could
hold Egypt against any attack.
Meanwhile the Italians con-

blow British prestige has suffered
since Americas disagreement with

realization it must either find q
compromise =, with ,MusSolini or
back down or fight.
Compromise Sought
Ever since, the British have
been seeking compromise to save
everybody's face. especially their
own as well as MuSSolini's. Unfor-
tunately, Hoare joined Laval in
proposing a peace plan which gave
italy the entire southern half Of
Ethiopia and all of Tigre and Dan
akil provinces, leaving Emperor
Halle Salassie only nominal con-
troll of the Central Amharic prov
moes.
But the British public, obServ-
ing Halle Selassie was still defend
..lg the greater parts of the pro-
posed gifts to Italy, roared pro
tests and Sir Samuel was made
the scapegoat and had to resign.
Farsighted British statesmen re-
marked that If the Italians would
only 60 ahead and conquer the
territory in question, the British,
being confronted with an &C.
complished fact, would certainly
confer rather than risk-a world
war.
Now the Italians are doing it,
and this means the beginning Of
the third phase of the conflict.

FISHIN
According to Izaak Walton

July above tide water and in
tide water August /. The license
costs for non-residents is $3.50
and the term from January / to
January l. The upper Potomac
and the Susquahanna are the two
best bets. The Susquahanna also
boasts excellent Wall-eyed pike
fishing and rockfish.
Be Careful
We would like to call attention
to speeding on the upper Poto-
mac with large watercraft t.
Anglers lines have been cut by
running too close with power
boats, and there is a potential
danger of upset by heavy wakes
set up by fast-moving craft.
Please slow down when approach
ing row boats and canoes. Even
if you do not cause an accident,
you will make the occupants of
the small boat uncomfortable
and damage their sport. Live
and let live!
The only mention Of large
catches that will be made in this
column will be those that are
brought home in good condition
and given to welfare institutions.
We do not feel that killing more
than you can use is sportsman
like, and will do all we can to
discourage hoggish and destruc-
tive practices. Save some sport
for your children!
The Washington times., 1936-06-22

Have you asked for your copy
of the Washington Times Tide
able? If not, do so at once, it's
rec, and printed on waterproof
paper. Anglers and boat captains
say that this handy tide table is
invaluable at every nearby fish
ng point. For reliable informa-
ion read this column, we promise
'ou news based on actual fishing
done every week.
Rockfish in the upper Potomac
are still tickle and the second big
run has not materialiZed as yet.
We hope for better news soon. The
small pan sized catfish or kitty
fish" are giving the anglers around
"Joe's" run for their money,
with an occasional bass for desert.
Hardheads are biting all over
the bay and if you use light tackle
you will have lots of sport. Heavy
sinkers are not necessary, if you
use line of small diameter, the
weight of your sinker is in direct
proportion to the size of your line.
Try six thread and you will find
one ounce will hold nicely in forty
feet of water, and your fish will
fight harder with less lead to tote
around with them.
Trout Biting
WeakfiSh, or trout making their
appearance at Solomon'S Island
this early in the season are quite
a novelty, just why they are biting
is too much for us to say. How
ever they are biting so try your
luck. 1t won't be long before some
sergeant fish will make the lines
on the South West Middles hum.
AS for Blues we will reserve our
opinion until catches are made
on all boats.
The Virginia bass season opens

servations at Gunston Cove we
feel that this season will be un.
usually good, as there was an un.
usually large crop of fish there
last year that should be legal size

Cubs Streak

IF Max Schmeling could do
the impossible, so can we," Casey
Stengel told his Brooklyn Dodg-
ers before they took the field
against the Chicago Cubs, who
had won IA straight games.
Fired with this classic example
Of underdog tenacity and deter
mination, the hapless Dodgers
went out onto the field prepared
to do or die. And what hap
pened? Why the Cubs stretched
t heir winning streak to Is
straight, triumphing to 2, but
the Dodgers won the second
game of doubleheader, 6 to 4.
1t was Van Mungo's pitching
that stopped the Cubs in the
nightcap. He allowed only eight
hits and bested Lon Warneke,
who had won six in a row.
By losing the second game, the
Cubs lost a fine chance to over
haul the league leading st. Louis
Cardinals, who we're losing to
the New York Giants, 6 to 4.
The Boston Bees defeated the
Cincinnati Reds, 3 to 2, on Wally
Berger's eighth homer of the sea-
son in the last of the ninth, and
the Pittsburgh Pirates nosed out
the Phillies, 7 to 6, in a hard
hitting game in which each side
hit three home runs.
The Boston Red Sox, behind
Wes Ferrell's 2-hit pitching, shut
out the st. Louis Browns. 3 to 0,
in the first game of a twin bill,
but five pitchers proved inef-
fectual in the nightcap and the
Browns squared the days festivi-
ties by a score of 6 to 3.
The league leading New York
Yankees lost an 8 to 7 decision
to the champion Detroit Tigers.
The Philadelphia Athletics
came from behind to score eight
runs in the seventh inning and
defeat the Chicago White SoX.
The score was II to S.

GRlST OF THE GRIFFS Va
By Frank "Buck" O'NeiII
Late Special-BLUE DAY
Fourth at Suffolk Downs

bsnuffed out in double play,
Trosky to Knicknerbocker on
Lewis hot drive down the first
base line.
A Cleveland bid for a big in
ming in the fifth came to an abrupt
ending. Gleeson pulled a curve
ball into left field, and on
the hit and run, Hale singled to
right. Gleeson made third, but
Hale was out, Travis to Kress to
Kuhel. Vosmik flied deep, Scor-
ing Gleeson and Pytlak bunted
safely, but there it stopped.
When it came to nudging the
nugget in the pinches, Stone and
Kress did the work. They drove
in the first two runs scored by
Washington.
Red Kress made a great save on
peg from Bolton which sailed
wide of second base and almost
went into the outfield. The play
cut down a Cleveland run, for
Hughes was on second at the time.
Hughes got to third on an in
field out and then proceeded to
steal home while Prof. Weaver
was winding up. This very hui
initiating incident bothered Prof.
Weaver to a point where he
pitched a long single to Trosky,
but Chapman shot down the Injun
first sacker at second, KreSs tax
ing the peg.
Chapman's seventh inning
single was erased when Lewis
lined hard to Knickerbocker The
last named whipped line throw
to Trosky and Chappie was caught
off the bag.
Kress came in plenty fast to
made sweet play on Hale's half
topped roller. These slow ground
ers offer the truest test of an in
fielder's defensive ability.
In the first half of the ninth
inning, the announcer's voice
doomed over the microphone: "R.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June %.
Chapman hit the center field
screen for a double in the first
inning and scored as Johnny
Stone beat out a single to Hale.
Fast running by Stone made that
blow possible.
Buddy Lewis gave the fans a
chuckle at the start of the sec
ond inning. He dropped one of
those practice throws and made
five stabs at the ball before he
found the handle.
Little comment was caused in
the first inning when the Tribe
made a run off Whitehil1. That
has come to be almost an &C
cepted order of things. But when
the Tribe got five runs off the
southpaw in the second, the
moaning on the Washington bench
was loud and clear.
Next to chasing the will O. the
wisp, the next most uncertain
venture is predicting what these
Griffs are going to do. Mostly
they do exactly what you never
expect Of them.
The boys entered Cleveland rid
ing high and ready for the big
killing. They dragged themselves
through the portals of the termi-
nal hoping that something would
happen down here to help them.
Chapman was charged with an
error when his throw on Averills
single took bad hop and got
away from Kress. Under the rules
there was no other way to score
the thing, but it certainly was
tough on the ARROW"
Averill had a large time OF 1t
with Earl Whitehill'S pitching. He
got three singles to center field
the first three times at bat. Which
is fair evidence that some LETT
handed hitters hit some lett
handed pitchers.
Chapman ripped a single to left
field in the fifth inning but was
