1t seems that when the Presi-

wanted the Supreme Court chang
ed NOW, he aroused the staid
justices to a new sence of apprec-
iation of what "this day and age"
wants in it's court decisions. The
freeing of Angelo Herndon, COM
munist, for allegedly "insurrec-

a healthy sign taht civil rights are
not to be lost sight of in our very
material and prejudice-ridden
civilization.
The Communist are people, and
citizens, and have their rights as
well as other citizens. OF course
we are against some Of the basic
doctrines they preach, but we do
not approve or sending them to
the chain gang for comparatively
trivial offences, such as the alleged
Herdon offense.
We welcome the decision In the

A Brief
ExpIana+ion
Ito the Colored People OF
Arizona)
From
JOHN r.. MURDOCH, M. G.

from Arizona dropped into my Of
zee and asked me a few questions
regarding the recent bills before
the House concerning the crime of
lynching and how I felt toward
such legislation. He said he would
be glad to send to the colored
people of Arizona anything that I
might want to say to them on this
subject. Therefore, I am dictat-
ing this rather hurried statement.
Of course, a part Of my idea may
be found on page 4571 of the Con-
gressional Record for the date
April IS, 1887.
I took the time to say to my
young friend from Arizona, re-
markably bright young man and
evidently a lawyer in training,
that while we had a comparative
ly few colored people in Arizona, I
knew a large number of them and
held them in. high esteem. / ex-
planned that a score or more OF
such young people from Phoenix
had attended my college classes
at Tempe, and that had the OPP
portunity to favor these young
people in numerous ways during
the years of the depression, and
that 1 regarded these colored stud
ents as my personal friends. Z
also know and value some Of the
teachers of the colored school of
Phoenix, such as Mr.. Landry, Prin-
cipal Of the Booker T. Washington
School, who is fine representa-
tive of his race and also an eff
cient educational leader in Ar1Z-
ona.
Now, I feel that my vote against
the Gavagan Anti-Lynching Bill
does need some explaining to my
colored friends They expected
me to be as fair toward their peo-
pie in Washington as I have al
ways been in Arizona, and that I
most sincerely desire to do. But
I voted against the Gavagan Bill
and explained why briefly just be-
fore the vote was taken. That
statement is found in the Congress
sional Record Of April Is on page
4571. My explanation is this:
There is such a mass of legisla-
tion coming before Congress that
cannot personally get acquainted
with more than a small part Of it,
even though I have very intelligent
assistants to help me study and
understand what is before us. My
membership on three important
committees requires more time
and study on bills pertaining to
public lands, reclamation and ir-
and public roads than I
can manage to give. I had not
read either Of the two anti-lynch-
ing bills a week ago. A week ago
the Mitchell Bills came up for
consideration in the House. Now.
know Mr.. Mitchell, the colored
Congressman from Illinois, and
respect him highly as colleague.
my inclination was to
favor his measure. But man
beside me explained that the Nit
chell Bill had no chance of enact

The Washington times., 1937-05-31

They've got what Del Howard,
the former ball player, used to call
the "old coincidence" meaning
that you generally don't go wrong
because you don't believe in it, and
Mako clearly showed the new atti-
tude yesterday. He was, more
times than not, the best man on
the courts.
OF course the overnight loss of
their champion, Adrian Quist, from
singles and doubles, and the fact
that McGrath was understood to
be favoring an injured leg, made
lot of difference but-probably
not enough. A week ago, I thought
the Australians would win, but I'm
pretty well convinced now that, no
matter which way the cards had
fallen, their luck was out.
Quist, in sound health, might
conceivably have beaten "BitSy"
Grant if they were playing singles
on Saturday. But Bulge already
has beaten Crawford in straight
sets and Grant couldn't miss
against this stumbling, fumbling
caricature of the last two days. SO
the doubles would have paid off.
anyway, because McGrath'S play
then was easily up to Quist at his
best.
Bulge Key Man
In fact, the man didn't limp
at all and one wonders, in any
case, why they nominated fright
ened, 18-year-old John Bromwich,
with the double-armed, right arm,
left arm and, I think, the old four
beat crawl stroke, in Quist's place
in the singles. Certainly, McGrath
on one leg would have been bet
ter than Bromwich on two and
I should say the real tip off on
the latter was that Grant only
was off his feet once. He's liable
to do more than that just warm
ing up.
However, we're not concerned
here with what might have hap
pened, but only with what did.
Bulge, very good all the way, was
the key man in singles and
doubles; Grant won in straight
sets from Bromwich at a mini
mum Of trouble; Mako was deadly
overhead, lost very few services
and had his forehand scoring
clean aces. He'll not play again
in this round, there remaining
only the formality of Grant versus
Crawford and Bulge versus Brom-
wich Just to play the hand out.
The Washington times., 1937-05-31

1t wound up with a Titan and
dirge yesterday when America,
featuring Don Bulge and Gene
Mako, easily won the doubles
match to close out the account
with probably the most sweeping
performance - and Indictment
ever given one major tennis coun-
try by another, namely, straight
victories in straight sets.
Practically Private
So the obsequies today will be
practically private. Kindly omit
flowers. AS a matter of fact,
they will be in bad taste. They
will remind our distinguished visi-
tors too poignantly of the death
scene yesterday when the Ameri-
can pair, playing-I thought
clinking tennis, ran through Jack
Crawford and Vivian McGrath
at rs, 81, 8-6.
So, no matter what happens
in the last two singles, America
is headed for the interzone finals
against Germany, with a great
chance of going through and
bringing the cup home from Eng
land in the subsequent challenge
round. These lads Of ours may
not be as hot as stove lids, but
they'll never be cold again in i'm

American League.
He said:
eve lose 'em quick"
Bucky gave the right answer.
The GriffS have lost 20 ball games
this year up to date, and in no
fewer than Is of them they have
been just about out of the fight
before the fifth inning.
On three notable occasions the
Griffs were trailing in the early
innings, but drove through the
closing frames to win. One of
these was against the Athletics on
May 2, when the Macks were six
runs to the good, but bowed.
There was another against the
Tigers, when an early lead of
three runs was overcome, and an
other against the Browns, when
a four-run deficit was erased.
You remember those occasions
because they are so few.
Adopt Policy
The Griffs adopted their policy
of losing 'em quick with the Ath-
letics on opening day. The Macks
scored three runs in the first two
innings, added another run later,
and held desperately to their ad-
vantage to win by a score of 4
to 3. Five days later the Athletics
stole another quick lead and held
it through to a finish.
Four of the games lost on the
last Western trip were lost almost
before the starting pitcher had a
chance to get squared away. One
such defeat was suffered in each
of the Western cities. Once, in
st. Louis, the Griffs overcame a
handicap and won. Upon return
ing home the local warriors lost
to Boston, Cleveland and twice to

By LAYTON CARVER

PITTSBURGH, May 31.-Estab-
lished now as one of the greatest
match players golf has seen, Her
mon Densmore Shute today packed
away the P. G.. A. championship
trophy for the second straight year
and started preparations for snar-
ing the National Open crown-at
medal play.
The ice-cold man from Boston,
who yesterday completed his
march through the P. G. A. field
by eliminating jug McSpaden, OF
Winchester, Mass, in defense Of
his title, was ready to begin trying
for little slam.
A little slam in this case would
be his taking the Open at Detroit
next month, although he isn't too
confident.
After vanquishing McSpaden by
up on the thirty-seVenth hole OF
a 36-hole final, Shute said:
81 called the turn for you on
this tournament last winter by
picking myself to win the p. G.
A. title for the second straight
year, and 1 went further than
that a few days ago by naming
McSpaden as the man I would
have to beat.
"As for the Open, I'm not sure.
I'll be in there trying, but ex'
pect lot of trouble"
First since Leo Diegel in 1929 to
repeat and competitor in one of
only three extra-hole matches ever
played for the P. G.. A. title, Shute
yesterday completed a string Of
IL straight victories in man-to+man
competition to retain his crown
and with that caused the veteran
Willie Hunter to say:
Hes the greatest match
player since Hagen was in his
prime"
Shute beats such notable con-
teStantS as Joe TurneSa, DIN Du-
ira, Ed Dudly, Jimmy Hines and
Tony Manero to move into the
finals against McSpaden, and
there he whipped the 29-year-old
Downeaster through the stretch.
Shute beat such notable con-
during the forenoon and saw this
drop to two down as late as the
thirty-third hole. That is when
he beat McSpaden, the payoff
shots for a $1,000 top prize being
Shute's tee shot straight down
the middle, a second on the green
and two puts while MeSpaden
was taking q five.
