A ASSOCIATION heads and alley
owners, as we'll as followers of
the sport, for years have sought per-
mission of Sunday bowling, pointing
out that base ball, golf, tennis, foot
ball, soccer, basket ball, swimming and
other sports are permitted on Sunday.
George L. Isemann, secretary of the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress
for the last 10 years, believes there
will be little opposition from the
clergy, since the bill would prohibit
operation of alleys in conflict with
church services.
Il have yet to find a clergyman
who has offered any serious objec-
ton to passage of the bill," said Ise-
mann today.
The bill if passed, would allow bowl
ing from 2 pm. until midnight, thus
avoiding conflict with morning church
services.

RObt w. Bingham's Speech Did Not Set We'll
 With Nazis

Berlin, July T-(UP)-Nazis, stung by speech of Robert Worth Bing- ham, American Ambassador to Lon- don, retaliated today with attacks on him in newspaper editorials.
 Bingham, speaking at a fourth of July dinner in London, contrasted democracies with Relationships, to the natural advantage of the demo- cracies; defended the American and British rearmament programs as a hope for peace, and made such comments as that If we must deal with despotims that teach only honor and blood to little children, then we must deal with them by force."
 Scores Bingham
 "This diplomat has so peculiar a conception of his task and his men, tality is so alien to us that it would be useless to try to convince him. said the Deutsche Allgemeine zei- tung. Bingham melted the so called democracies against the so called dictatorships in an almost unbeliev- able maner.
 Although it is his duty to fulfill a peaceful mission he expressed Americas new interest in Europe by an appeal for an armament race. He asserts that despots forced Great Britain and the United States tc rearm. "The American diplomat ought to know that Germany was forced to rearm after others failed to fulfill their treaty obligation oi | disarmament"

PRESIDENT ASKS
 FOR REDUCTIONS

Washington, July 7.-(UP)- President Roosevelt hoped today to attain a 'layman's balance" of the federal budget this fiscal year by reducing government expenditures 10 per cent in the next 12 months.
 The President previously esti- mated the administration would spend $4l8, 8,0O0, 900 more than it took in between July 1, this year and June 30, 1888. He did not count Q $401 900, 900 debt retirement item.
 In revised budget estimates for the past and current year presented congress last April 20, Mir. Roosevelt estimated that 1937-1e36 revenue would reach a new high of $6.e06,- 100000. He set expenditures at ST. 324,0oo,0oo.
 If spending is reduced by $4O0,- 900, 900, the two figures would about meet.

Great Britain May Decide to Rush Troops in to

London, July 2 - (UP) - British authorities have ordered designated troop units to be ready for duty in Palestine if disorders result from publication this evening of a royal commission report on Palestine, it was understood today. Further, in the belief that the Palestine situa- ton is connected with the entire Mediterranean problem, secret ser- vice men are ready to arrest any anti-British agitator-and suspects are under surveillance now. The re- port of the royal commission is to be broadcast this evening and the 5000 British troops in Palestine, in addition to thousands of policemen, are ready for action.
 Division of Palestine
 It is understood that the report will recommend partition of Pales- tine between Jews and Arabs, with a small area remaining under Brit ish mandate. Neither Jews nor Arabs favor the solution suggested for the years of turmoil in the mandated territory.
 General staff authorities in Pales- tine believe they can control any situation which may arise. But au- thorities here have prepared them- selves, if the situation becames ser- ious, to send troops not only from Egypt but from Great Britain on brief notice.

LITTLE OLD LADY

Chicago, July 7-(UP)- Arthur Lloyd, owner of modest antique business, learned today that the painting he accepted in trade for small dog is an original and high ly-valued portrait by the French master. Jean Baptiste Greuze.
 A "gray-haired old lady in a black dress" traded him the painting for a puppy to give to bed-ridden grandchild, he said.
 The woman had been in his shop to buy some glassware. She saw several puppies, and asked for one. Lloyd refused. Later she came back with the painting.
 "She told me she found 1t in her attic and asked me to trade a puppy for it, so I did," Lloyd said.
 Lloyd said he is going to get in touch with the little old lady," be- cause he hopes to sell >the painting for a good price land there ought to be something in for her."
