DOings Around The
Golf Links

s(By Gravy


The regular semi-annual meeting
of the golf club will be held Mon
day night at the home of Willie
Watkins, president. His address
lis I'll South street and the meet
ing will start at 1880 o'clock at
which time win be transacted all
business of the club such as elec-
tion and admittance of new mem
bers and collection of dues. The
present officers are: VIM. Wat
kins, president; Willie Kemp, vice
pres; Lionel Plummer, sec'y.-
treas; Sam Goldsmith and Bias
com Grooms as directors who are
in addition to the officers.
Last Thursday, the team of
Hurricane Eddie Strunk and Char
lie Salas were all set to skunk the
team of Doc Willie Penababe
Kemp and Samuella Goldsmith
but they were unable to do so.
OF course Eddie got away to bad
start on account of so much talk
at the first tee and the others
were giving him the razzle dazzle
the rest of the way around. OF
course most was caused by that
big Christmas gift pipe being
sported by Mr.. Strunk. At first
he was refused admittance to the
transportation vehicle until he
threw, same away but upon the
hegging of his friend, Willie Kemp,
was allowed to proceed with the
pipe providing he put it in his
pocket. After the game pro-
crossed for a while and the last
hole4was reached it was found
that Willie and Sam were four
up.
/ Our genial Postmaster had Bas-
com Grooms and Cookie Mesa as
opponents and since they did not
keep score card and none knew
his score the next day, you may
rest assured that it was neither
shockingly high nor prodigiously
low.
Yesterday the team of Eddie
Strunk and Melvin Russell met
that of Willie Kemp and Johnny
Kirschenbaum with Charlie Salas
again being the mediator of all
disputes. The rules were again
to be as those of Thursday, that
is, to play the ball where it lieth'

knocked it into the rough and when
he called out he could not play

sort of what Pious Willie said about
Doc Willie once. On the other
hand, Eddie Strunk was having so
much trouble with his new pipe
that he got 46 before he knew it.
Maybe some of his trouble was due
to the fact that one of Eddie's
close friends said that the reason
he persists in smoking the thing is
because it makes him look distin-
guished. However, Melvin and
Kirsch both report fine time be-
ing had on account of they were
so amused at their friends that
they did not care what the score
looked like.

CHURCH ABANDONS

LONDON, June 4. (UP)-Ihc
powerful Church of England last
night abandoned any notion of re-
priSal against the obscure country
vicar who travelled alone to
France to marry the eXiled Duke
of Windsor under Anglican church
rites in the face of the church'S
official ban.
"No further action will be Ia
ken by me-" the Bishop of Full
ham, under whose diocese the
ceremony was performed, told the
United Press.
The bishop had telegraphed the
Rev. K. Anderson Jardine, vicar
of st. Paurs at Darlington, u few
hours before the ceremony IN
forming him he was without au-
thority to perform the rituals.
The church contented itself
with passing off the ceremony, IN
direct defiance of its orders, as a
"benediction," and rot a mar
riage.

.NAzIS EXECUTE
AN AMERICAN
Official American Efforts
to Obtain Reprieve
Prove Futile

BERLIN. June 4 (UP).-Hel.
muth Hirsch, 81, an American
citizen, was executed today for
high treason despite efforts of the
American authorities to obtain
reprieve.
An American national who
never had lived in the United
States, Hirsch was executed by
the silk-hatted, gloved headsman
of PloetZensee prison at dawn.
Beheaded at the same time was
Oscar Denner, 20, also convicted
of a political crime. -.
A government communique said
that Hirsch was executed "for vi
olation of the law concerning ex-
plosives."
"Hirsch came to Germany in
behalf of a foreign group Of trail
tors in order to commit crimes
with explosives" said the COM
munique. 1.-TWO internal machines
which were in his possession were
liable to confiscation."
Hirsch was convicted last March
of possessing explosives. German
authorities asserted that, arrested
at Stuttgart last December after
arriving from Czechoslovakia, he
possessed bombs with which he
confessed he intended to take the
life of a high official. Rumor,
never confirmed, was that Adolf
Hitler might be the official.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (UP).
Congress began work last night OF
the governments first long term
program to combat floods, drouths
and dust storms through conserva-
ton and development of the ma
tons natural resources, after
President Roosevelt appealed for
prudent" far sighted treatment
of the problem.
Legislation designed to achieve
the national policy long sought by
the president was introduced in
both houses soon after a special
message outlining his recommen-
dations was read. The program
touched off a scorching fight in
the two chambers over which COM
mittees were to be entrusted with
one of the most vital and far
reaching projects yet initiated by
the New Deal.
The battle began in the house
even before the conservation bill
was introduced. It revolved about
the usually routine reference Of q
presidential message to an appro-
pirate committee for action. Chair
man Will NJ. Wilmington, Dem,
Miss. Of the food control COM
mittee, moved that the message
be sent to his group. Crippled,
grey haired Rep. Jos. j. Mansfield,
DEM, Texas, who introduced the
house bill made a vigorous plea
from a wheel chair that his rivers
and harbors committee be given
the message.
Mansfield won and he called
his committee into session and re-
ported his bill promptly.
In the senate, Sen. George w.
Norris, l., Neb., venerable father
of iva" offered a conservation
bill. 1t follows closely Mr.. Roose-
velt's proposals and further seeks

right of district judges to hamper

walton program for a year and
discussed it with many congress-
men and senator's before sending
his recommendations to the cap
itol. He has from time to time in
corporated is as part of the New
Deals broad plan to make the ma
ton self sustaining, to improve
the lot of the common man and to
leave to his successor a healthier
nation than he found when he en-
tered the White House.
He outlined several reasons for
quick action by congress on q ma
tional conservation policy. First,
he emphasized the urgency of the
problem as displayed by recurrent
floods, drouths and dust storms.
