Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the ASSOCIATED Press.
SANDWICH, England. May %
Robert Sweeny, American-born resi-
dent Of London. won the British ANA
teur golf championship today by de-
feating Lionel Mum. 50-year old
1rishman, 3 and 2, In the 36-hole final
round
Sweeny. an Oxford "Blue," who has
lived abroad, either in France or Eng
land. since he was 10 years old, lost
the brilliant putting touch that had
characterized his play during the early
rounds OF the match, but he finally
shook off the indomitable Mum at
the thirtieth hole, where he went up.
After they had divided the thirty
second and thirty-third, the 25-year-
old Sweeny finally ended the tussle
with deuce at the thirty-fourth.
Safely on the green from the tee
at the thirty-fourth. Sweeny spent
minutes studying the downhill roll
Then he stepped up to the ball, lying
20 feet away from the cup, and calmly
banged 1t In. Munn's effort from
almost the same distance barely failed
to drop.
Native American Scores Again.
Sweeny's victory gave the United
States at least technical claim to the
championship for the third time in
four years. Lawson Little won in 1894
and 1885. Hector Thomson Of Scot
land, who won last year, withdrew
from this years tournament because
Of Ill health.
Larger Gallery Turns Out.
A much larger gallery turned out
for the second 18-hole round this
afternoon.
Trailing by one hole after the
morning round, Mum missed a chance
to square the match at the. nine
teenth when he failed to hole a four
foot putt after Sweeny had misplayed

After halving the twentieth. Mum
messed up a chip at the twenty first,
but he, too, escaped penalty when the
American youngster failed to drop

Mum squared the match at the
twenty-second when Sweeny missed
two-foot putt and went ahead for the
first time at the twenty-third where
the Americans long game wobbled and
he failed to reach the green in two.
Sweeny drew all square again at
the twenty-fourth when Mum pitched
across the green into bunker.
Girls Cheer Sweeny.
Crowds of girls in bathing suits
swarmed up from the beach at this
point to watch the match and cheer
the younger-and handsomer-man.
Continuing to win or lose every
hole, Sweeny went up at the twenty
fifth as Mum failed to attain the
green in two and then increased his
lead to 2 up when the Irishman

REORGANIZATION
HURT BY CABINET
SquabbIe Threatens Entire
Program-House, Senate
Only LukeWarm.
BY WILL p, KENNEDY

With the House reorganization Com
mittee scheduled to meet Tuesday or
Wednesday to consider a four-bill
program to carry out the Presidents
reorganization program, and the Sem
ate committee pledged by Majority
Leader Robinson to consider the en-
tire program in one bill within a
week, it was disclosed today that intra-
Cabinet strife threatens to wreck re-
organization now as 1t has several
times in the past-notably during the
Coolidge and Hoover administrations
Before leaving Washington on a
week end trip from which he will not
return until Tuesday, Chairman Coch-
ran Of the House committee said he
expects to have meeting just as soon
As Speaker Bankhead returns and
Acting Speaker Warren Of North Caro-
lima, chairman of the Committee on
Accounts, Is relieved from such duty
and can confer with his colleagues on
reorganization. He is one OF the chief
sponsors Of the four-bill program.
The general strategy is to see
whether a one-bill program can win
support in the Senate, while four
bill program is tried out in the House,
where it is expected the President
will find the ma jority more agreeable
to his wishes The insurgent move
ment which developed on Thursday
to such an extent that Majority
Leader Rayburn had to plead with
his colleagues to give to administra-
ton leaders until Tuesday to try to
effect compromise with various
blocs. is being watched closely be-
cause it portends defeat Of the entire
reorganization program.
Little Enthusiasm Shown.
Cochran frankly admitted yester-
day that he had received many let
tiers from all parts OF the country
protesting against the passage Of any
bills providing for the reorganization
Of the Government" Senator Rob-
inson Is also quoted as saying in the
meeting of the Joint Committee on
Thursday that If the bill to carry out
the Presidents reorganization rec
ommedations fails 1t will not be any
great national calamity. This would
indicate there is not any very great
eagerness in either the House or the
Senate committee, or on the part of
the Senate or House leadership, to
get the reorganization measures
passed.
The inter- r-cabinet quabble-refusal
"on principle" to relinquish control
over certain agencies-has wrecked
previous efforts to revamp the Federal
administration machinery. 1t has re-
peatedly been found impossible to
gain the acquiescence of those directly
in charge of changes proposed.
In the Harding and Coolidge cab
inets there was bitter and prolonged
dispute and dissension over the reor-
ganization plan sponsored by a joint
committee of which r. Walton Moore,
now counselor Of the State Depart
ment, was an active House member,
and headed by Walter F. Brown, sub
sequently Postmaster General. Former
President Hoover, then Secretary OF
Commerce, testified before the joint
committee in 1924 that no reorganiza-
ton plan would ever meet with agree
ment among cabinet officers.

Finds Sea Is
2H Miles Deep
Russians Discovery
Is Surprising to
Scientists.

MOSCOW, May 29.-Soviet Russia's
North Pole weather outpost measured
the Polar Sea today and found 1t far
deeper than scientists had estimated.
The first measurement reported by
DR.. Otto j. Schmidt's party, camped
on an ice foe, showed the ocean was
2i2 miles deep. P P. Lazareff. Acad-
emy Of Science geophysicist at Mos
COW. said the information surprised"
scientists.
Exact knowledge of depths is Of
great importance in the study Of cur
rents which originate in the Arctic
Ocean, and consequently to proper
organization Of navigation along the
North Sea route" Lazaref1 said.

base camp planes is expected to take

who landed Wednesday about 35 miles

upon every League member to respect
the territorial integrity and politica
independence Of every other nation
1t did not, however, give forma
recognition to the Spanish govern.
ment's contention that territorial ag.
gression had occurred in Spain. The
Spanish government has accused Italy
of such aggression and. in lesser
measure, has assailed Germany fol
permitting its nationals to fight or
the side Of the insurgents.
The resolution, adopted after two
hours of discussion. praised the effort.

Intervention Committee and con.
demred the aerial bombardment Of
unfortified towns in Spain.
Halls Committee Move.
Further. the resolution hailed with
satisfaction the non-intervention com.
mittee's initiative In attempting to ef-
feet the withdrawal of non-Spanish
combatants from the civil war.
It urged League members to sup
port this attempt. 1t recorded PRO
found hope" that measures would be
taken to bring about an early end OF
the conflict.
Julio Alvarez del Vayo, the Spanish
governments delegate, made an elev-
enth-hour struggle to obtain a reso-
luton that would at least imply a
condemnation of Fascist intervention
in Spain.
His demands, however, received only
yelled recognition in the resolution

Developments Regretted.
This resolution notes with regret
that the development of the situation
in Spain does not appear to be of a
character to warrant the belief that
measures taken by governments fol-
lowing the councils recommendations
have had, 50 far. the desired effect"
(The League Council last De-
cember adopted resolution rec
ommending cooperative action
through the Nom Intervention Com
mittee to isolate the Spanish War
and to keep foreign arms and men
out of Spain. The Non-Interven-
ton Committee since has obtained
an international accord to prevent
the movement of such foreign aid
into the war zone. It has set up
land and sea patrol to supervise
enforcement of the accord and to
report violations to member ma
tions. Both Italy and Germany,
with virtually all other European
nations, are bound by the accord.)
After the resolution was adopted
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden Of
Great Britain left by plane for Paris
with Yvon Delbos and Tevfik Rustc
Aras, the French and Turkish foreign
ministers, respectively.
Eden and Delbos now are confronted
with these two tasks:
l. Withdrawal Of all foreign fighters

2. The start Of negotiations for q

Revenue authorities disclosed to-
day they hope to transfer 500 900, 900
from the pockets OF tax evaders to
the Federal Treasury.
Power to do 80 will be asked Of
Congress in q special message by
President Roosevelt, probably Tues
day. White House officials said today.
1t will go forward from the White
House while the Chief Executive Is
visiting his Hyde Park. N Y. home.
The President, described as almost
entirely recovered from a head cold
which caused him to cancel all but Z
few engagements in the last three
days. remained away from his of1ice
today to work on the tax message in
the privacy Of the White House
proper.
Meanwhile officials, spurred by the
Presidents broadside against wealthy
tax dodgers, agreed on a two-vay
program Of prosecution and evasion
proof legislation.
They said fraud proceedings, in
volying possible Jail sentences and
heavy fines. would be recommended
to the Justice Department wherever
evidence justified and that several
changes in the tax laws would be
sought to seal existing loopholes.
Fraud actions. in which penalties
amounting to so per cent OF the tax
may be imposed, may total more than
500. some authorities said. They de-
clared 200 such proceedings last year
netted the Treasury $31 10000 and
said the amount probably would be
doubled this year.
Civil Proceedings Scheduled.
Substantial additional revenue also
Is expected from civil proceedings
against persons not criminally liable
and from revision Of the tax structure.
Authorities said the entire campaign
probably would bolster revenue by
$100, 100000 or more.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated yesterday
that recommendations for legislation
to reinforce the tax structure would
be completed soon. Attorneys at the
Treasury worked swiftly to put sug-
gested changes into final form.
The Internal Revenue Bureau al
ready has issued a regulation designed
to prevent persons with large incomes
from escaping taxes by transferring
assets to foreign corporations set up
for that purpose.
Legislation May Be Sought.
Authorities said, however. additional
bulwarks against this device may be
sought In legislation.
Treasury authorities. from Secretary
Morgenthau down, were silent on
possible plans, but some informed
persons suggested q withholding tax
on all dividends would be effective.
Under this arrangement, corpora
tions would withhold designated per-
centage of dividends paid stockhc lders
and turn the money over to the Treas
ury.
If this arrangement is deemed too
difficult to administer, 1t was said. the
present 10 per cent withholding tax
on dividends paid foreign corporations
might be increased.

protest to United States Post Office

Republic also employed airplanes to
drop packages of foodstuffs to men
remaining in its mills. Pickets re-
taliated by going up in their own
planes for scouting purposes-to learn
what was going on in the plants and
possible attempts to crash the picket
lines Of trains and trucks carrying
food.
The S. w. o. c. succeeded in clos
ing one more Republic plant-the
