T osING but one match out Of six

foremost contender was dropping two

captured the lead OF the Women's

Navy colleagues to the front with a
straight-set victory over Peggy Keyser
Smith of George Washington. Alison
Claf1in regained the front-running po-
sition for the Colonials by repulsing
little Audrey Scholl of Army Navy
in two love sets.
Mrs. Smith did her share in send
ing George Washington back to the
top. however. as she scored in two
matches. Miss Clafiin also accounted
for her second victory before the week
was over and Margaret Butler pro-
vided the fifth triumph.

Italy Looking for Another Wiz

ROME P).-Seven stars of the Los
Angeles Olympics are among the %
veteran swordsmen whom Italy ex-
poets to thrust and counter thrust
their way to Italian victory in the
Berlin Olympics.
Italy will not be represented in the
women's workmanship events, but
the mems teams are thought by off,

to be sure winners. Fencing, they ex-
plain, is one sport in which age fails
to take a quick toll of ability.
The Italian swordsmen will be led
to Berlin by Nedo Nadi, president Of
the federation and himself responsible
for a hamper full of points at Los

Christmas celebrations over, the

At the session opening January s.
There were mounting signs that
President Roosevelt's suggestion for .
$500 900 900 appropriation, to last un-
til June 80, would draw sharp attacks
both from advocates Of more liberal
spending and legislators who favor .
frightened Federal purse.
Senator King, Democrat of Utah,
told reporters he considered such
sum unnecessary"
economy applied. $3.50, 900 900 to $780,
100000 should be enough" King said.
Opinion Is Divided.
He added that he considered $780,
100000 to $500 100000 enough for
Federal relief throughout the fiscal
year beginning July /. States should
absorb q growing proportion Of the
burden, he contended
Other quarters In the Capital were
understood to feel that s500, 900 900
would not be sufIicient for the rest
of this fiscal year and that . much
larger sum probably would be neces-
sary for next year also.
While arriving congressional leaders
agreed the relief controversy would
have first call when the session ac-
tually opens, the problems of new
neutrality legislation to replace that
expiring May / claimed attention also.

lively quiet one.
