NEW YORK, Dec. 20. - Fred
Perry and Ellsworth Vines, the
No. / road company of professional
tennis, are starting out upon their
annual safari in quest of the
great American dollar firmly con-
vinced that the next time they
go it will neither be together nor
alone. The writer, in fact, is in
formed today that the winner of
the Vines-Ellsworth series fully
expects to be teamed up next
time with j. Donald Bulge, I'M
doubtedly the greatest amateur of
this generation and possibly any
other.
There is supposed to be a tacit
understanding" to this effect be-
tween Bulge and the other two.
In fact. it is said that the only
thing that kept J. Donald from
breaking down abiectly and con-
senting to accept the $4,000 last
September was fear of public
opinion.

In point of further fact, the
shoulder injury suffered in an au-
tomobile accident probably has
impressed Bulge with a fair idea
of how ephemeral is fame and how
fleeting the financial tie-in may be.
It's possible, you see, to out-Wait

The U. S. Court of Appeals
affirmed action of the lower
court, in refusing to enjoin Pub
lie Works Administrator Harold
1. Ickes from using Federal funds
for erection of the jefferson Me-
mortal in st. Louis.
The Appellate Court affirmed
the ruling of the District Court in
basing its refusal on the ground
that the city of st. Louis, which
is interested in the memorial, was
not made a party to the suit.
The suit was instituted by 81
owners of valuable business prop
erty along the Mississippi, which
would be razed to make room for
the memorial.
Edmund Toland, local attorney
for the 81 protesting property
owners, told reporters he will ap-
peal today's ruling to the U. S.

Proposal Amended
The rules committee, however,
declined to follow Mr.. Buchanan
altogether, and amended his pro-
poSal so as to make the proposed
joint reorganization committee a
special one, and not a permanent
congressional group.
The joint committee, under the
measure to be brought up in the

mony and agree on the legislation
to be put through Congress and
then the House and Senate units
of the joint group would return to
their respective bodies. report and
be in charge of pushing the legiSla-
tive proposals through.
Fear was expressed by various
members that If such a committee
were to be made a permanent
unit, under the rules, it would
have so much power that it would
virtually supplant half a dozen
Of the regular standing commit
tees.
SEES INCREASED COSTS
Although he did not criticize
the Presidents recommendations,
Mr.. Buchanan declared that the
Chief Executive proposes only to
reorganize and consolidate agen-
cies, without curtailing expendi-
lures, whereas his proposal called
for a group which would be a con-
Stant watchdog" over the execu-
tive department to see that agen-
cies did not spread unnecessarily
