causes Of alarm.
Painters engaged in removing

damage was not extensive. The first
alarm was sounded shortly after 3

Is Sent Congress

agency as having attempted to do
too much.
Major Points
Major points in the committee
analysis:
MIRA aided substantially in In
creasing total wage distributions and
initiating the nation toward solution
of questions affecting labor.
That the MIRA program was es-
pecially handicapped by the effort
to do too much too fast and t hat
certain trade practice provisions in
tended to rai.e or stabilize prices
failed to function satisfactory.
That both management and labor
at ,mpted to undertake impractical
bl. and unavoidable provisions and
that even simple matters such as
m ',imum wages, maximum hours
AMI minimum prices developed UNI
usual completely.
That final MIRA policy, emerging
in the agency's last days, was IN
harmony with antitrust laws.
The report was written by an
economics professor. an attorney, a
manufacturing executive and rep
resentatiye of organized labor.
Invaluable Aid
"Thc report of the committee, y
Mr.. Roosevelt said, Should furnish
invaluable aid TO the congress In
the consideration and determtna-
ton of vital legislative problems.
This report, with its admirable,
we'll Unbalanced weighing of con-
troversial issues and Its impartial
review of complicated factual stu
atoms, provides dspassionate con-
81 ',eration Of host Of problems rs
to which emotion, self-interest and
prejudice have too frequently OBJ
scured the truth.
1T is worthy of the most serious
conslderat by the congress and
should be made available for WIDE

viewing the detectives, the successes

Will Find 1t Difficult.

WASH1NGTON amateurs, used to
wv putting on fairly fast greens, have
no idea of the speed Of those Oak
mont surfaces. Jimmy Powers, the
red-thatched sports editor of the New
York News, wrote the best crack that S
ever been made about those greens.
Putting at Oakmont," said Jimmy,
~is like putting ball down a long
flight OF marble stairs and trying to
hole out on the third step from the
bottom"
1t isn't quite as bad as that, but the
boy who gets jittery over the three
footers is going to have quite time
at Oakmont. And then there are
those 288 traps-maybe more now.
When the Greens Committee finds
itself In funds they dig a few more
traps, and they're looking ahead to the
amateur championship of 1888, so you
never can tell how many more traps
they'll have when the college boys
start firing next week.

9.Run Ninth Ties,
Then Game Lost

By the Associated Press.
THE bamboo bat for the seasons
greatest rally goes to the Cam
bridge Cardinals Of the Eastern
Shore League.
They all but made a story-book
performance out of their game
with Centreville last night, and
even If they didn't win. they did
run the game into an extra inning
by scoring nine runs in the ninth.
Centreville led. 9 to 0, going into
the ninth. Unbelievably, the Car
dinals rallied to knock Ogden from
the mound, score nine times and
tie it up.
Stanfleld. one OF the three
pitchers Cambridge used, hit Wurst
in the tenth. He went to second
when pitch got past the catcher,
and scored on Miller's two-bagger,
his only hit of the night.

Course New to Them.

THE three local lads who will play
- for the Blue and Gray at OAK
mont are Billy Dettweiler of Con-
gressional and Harvey johnson and
Maury Nee of Columbia. None of
them has played Oakmont, the one
course in the land which has stood
the championship test, over the years.
Par for the Oakmont layout is p, or
q total of 238 over the 72-hole dis
tance.
The open championship of 1927,
played there. was won with 30l, and
the 1896 open, also played at Oak
mont, was won with 299. Roland
Mackenzie won the medal in the
amateur title tourney at Oakmont in
1925 with 36-hole score of las.
Where the pros and the crack
amateurs have busted par to bits over
most other courses (as witness the
recent national open at DetrolD, they
never have been able to crack the
Oakmont jinX, and it isn't likely the
college boys will do it next week.

She has won every race but one Of

She has liked to run as long as she
can remember. Her first meet was
county school affair. She took
firsts in the running broad Jump and
in the So and 75-yard dashes.
AS Miami freshman, she recently
broke four records in the annual in

have shattered some others but for
rule limiting her to the four events.
Besides, she ran in tennis shoes on a
slow track.

In that meet. Patty ran the 60
yard 2-foot hurdles in 875 seconds to
better the national record OF 88 set
in 1927 by Pearle Lanmott of Will

letic officials submitted the timing to

Healthy and weighing about $50
pounds. although she doesn't look it.,
Patty gets her speed on the track by
inheritance.
Her father, August A. Fickes, en-
ployment manager for a Cleveland

as youth. He once won nine f1rsts
