CUTTING Madrid from Sea

CLOWLY but determinedly Gen.
~ Francisco Francois rebels are
pressing their campaign to cut
Madrid off from Valencia and the
sea. Latest advances of well-mo-
bilized and mechanical troops, fol-
lowing up co-ordinated attacks,
brought the insurgents near to the
capture of Salvacanete, which is
only 80 miles from Cuenca. Cuenca
is the provincial capital, and from
it emanate most of the roads upon
which the loyalist government is
depending to keep open the traffic
between it's two most important
cities. At Teruel, another vital
point in the line of advance, Franco
was reported as having built an
air base with underground hangers
for SO planes, which the rebels were
using to harass the government
lines.
Meanwhile, other nations were on
the point of being involved again.
There was riot among rebel troops
at Toledo, and Italian soldiers were
alleged to have aided in quelling
the uprising. Four merchant ships
one British, one Italian, one
French and one -Greek-were at
tackled in the Mediterranean by
three mystery" planes. Great Brit
ain blamed the rebels and demand
ed an answer to its protest. Italy
blamed the red loyalists. The 10y
alists blamed the rebels, the rebels
blamed the loyalists, there were lots
of talk and back talk, and nobody
got anywhere.

which would permit it to deal only
with employers who maintain
"sweatshops' and starvation
wages" through fake collective bar
gaining agencies.
The "Green amendments" in
brief are:
1. Board jurisdiction over wages
and hours in any industry only if it
finds that collective bargaining
agreements do not cover sufficient
number of employees or facilities
for collective bargaining are inef-
fective -,a,-.
2. Acceptance of wage-hour stand
ards established by collective bar
gaining in any occupation as prima
facie evidence of appropriate stand
ards in that occupation.
8. Board cannot alter wage-hour
standards already prevailing in &C.
cupation in community considered,
or establish classification in any
community which affects adverse
ly the prevailing standards in the
same or other communities.
4. Industries are protected against
prison-made goods.
S. Label provision of original
act is eliminated to protect indus
try from what is considered a nui-
sance.
6. Government work is removed
from the boards control and placed
under the Walsh-Healey act.

ed the bill would be brought up in
the house under special rule and

Peiping Japanese and Chinese forces
were approaching each other. There
were said to be $4,000 Japanese,
well-equipped and organized, and
$4,000 comparatively inefficient Chi
nese.
Between the Peiping-Tientsin line
and the Yellow river were 100000
Chinese troops, half of them con-
trolled by the national government,
and south of the Yellow river were
200, 1000 more. It was reported that
if the Chinese dictator, Gen. Chang
Kai-shek, wanted to fight, he could
throw 100000 men, including his
crack German-trained divisions, into
the field. Still there was no indi-
cation from Marking that the GEN.
trail government would declare war
upon Japan, rather than letting her
have what she wanted, just as she
took what she wanted in Manchuria
and Jehol few years ago.

Payoff Putt Is Easy
When You're Not Grim

Everything hung on that putt.
wouldn't let myself think of what it
meant to me. Do you know, Hugh,
what I was thinking Of? remem-
bered a story I'd heard in the locker
room the night before-the one
about the duffer who had a new
caddie. You've heard that-how he
kept telling his caddie to pick up
those divots, and when they got
back to the clubhouse the caddie
turned the buffers bag upside down
and, looking very seriously, as grass
chunks tumbled out, said, Here
are your divots, boss, but what /
want ia know is what you are GO
ing to do with them?"
That made me laugh as thought
of it. 1 wasn't tight and grim, and
so it was a simple matter to sink
that eight-fOOter and win the Open
crown.
Everybody thinks that was my
greatest golfng thrill. But it wasn't.
There have been lot of them
and disappointments, too. But the
biggest thrill of all-but wait a mo-
ment, let me tell you of some of
the higher moments.
Playing in my first open at Inver-
ness in I92O-it was the first for
Jones, Sarazen and Diegel, too. I've
been in every one since then, but
I'VE never felt the same thrill as
when / walked up to that first tee
at Toledo Qualifying in my
first British Open-at Troon in Scot
land In 1922. That was the worst
storm I've ever played in, and the
gales were bowling around my head
at about ninety miles an hour. Sar-
azen, who was National Open cham
pion at the time; Long Jim Barnes
and inimitable Harry VardOn all
failed to make the grade in the
teeth of those clustering winds Z.
Riding up Fifth avenue on my re-
turn from Chicago, after winning
the Open.
Those are only some of them. The
greatest of all, though, was in win
ming the $1,000 first prize at La
Gorce in Florida in the winter of
1928. I was way back going into
that last round. I was the last
man in and 1 knew what / had to
get to win. And on that stiff par 70
course / turned in 30-33-63, nine
strokes under par, to take that
prize-the biggest in tournament
history-by a single stroke. That
was the greatest round of golf I've
ever played in my life.
There have been disappointments,
of course-times when it all didn't
seem worth the work. But looking
back down the years, l have no re-
grets. Golf has been good to me.

U. S. Keeps Naval Pace

INDICATIONS were that both the
United States and Great Britain
would embark upon unusually large
peacetime naval building programs
in 1888.
Britain, according to reports in
London, will lay the keels for from
three to five battleships, six or
seven cruisers and a proportionate
quota of destroyers, submarines and
smaller craft, to surpass the 1887
total of $4,000 tons, a peacetime
record. 1t was also reported that
personnel would be increased ulti-
mately by $4,000.
With the placing of additional 1887
contracts, Britain will soon have ITO
vessels under construction.
Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
Of American naval operations and
acting secretary of Uncle SANS
navy, said in Washington that con-
gress will be asked to provide funds
for the construction of two battle
ships and two cruisers in the 1898
fiscal year. The admiral inferred
in a press conference that the
United States expects to keep pace
with other nations which are PLAN
ming extensive naval building. The
four new ships will cost $170, 000, 900
and will be ready in 1912. Construc-
ton is about to begin on two other
battleships, which will cost approx
imately $50, 100000. 4

What would be the result OF the
new Japanese domination apparent
ly begun by Maj. Gen. Kawabe was
a matter for speculation. Chinese
residents, long since convinced that
the inevitable would happen, took
it calmly enough. Some of them
voiced their belief that the former
boy emperor of China, Tsuan Tung
Henry Pu-Yi), since 1884 Emperor
Kang Teh of Manchukuo, would re-
turn to his throne in Peiping. He
would then rule over North China as

Seek Unemployed Count

TOR four years congress has
l. failed to order any serious at
tempt at finding out just how seri-
Gus the unemployment problem is.
Now the senate has passed bill,
sponsored by Hugo D. Black (Dem.,
Ala.), which directs the President,
with funds from the 1887 relief APP
preparation, to order a census of the
unemployed and partially unem-
ployed on or before April /, 1898.
Senators Byrnes, Lodge, Clark and
others objected that the bill was
inadequate, but permitted its pas
sage on the unanimous consent cal
endar.
What will be included in the ques-
tionnaire is, under the terms of the
Black measure, to be determined by
the secretary of commerce, the sec
rotary of labor, the Works Progress
administrator, the chairman of the
social security board, the chairman
of the central statistical board and
the director of the census.
Harry L. Hopkins repeatedly has
told the President that an unem-
ployment census would be useless.
Administration opponents have
charged that he only wished to exag-
gerate the unemployment problem.

New York's Share Cut

CENATOR ROBERT F. WAC
~: NER'S (Dem., N W $726, 00O,-
900 housing bill was passed by the
senate, GA to 16, but the senator
scarcely recognized it when his fell
lows were done with it. - ~
Senator Wagner and other admin
istration leaders struggled frantical-
ly to defeat an amendment by Har-
ry F. Byrd (Den., Va.) limiting the
cost of housing projects to $1,000 a
room or 81, 900 a family unit. Result
of the struggle: The upper house,
which originally passed the amend
ment 40 to 80, defeated motion to
reconsider by A to 80. ~~
The bill originally called for ex-
penditures up to $1,000 room or
$1,000 a family unit. Opponents
conceded that the Byrd amendment
would prohibit the building of the
type of houses Senator Wagner had
in mind in New York City, but con-
tended that $4,000 was enough to
spend for housing one family. Per-
sons of extremely low income could
not pay the rent anyway, they ar
gued. -
Some senators charged that the
Wagner bill was designed to afford
the bulk of the housing appropria-
ton to New York. This was pre-
vented by the adoption of an amend
ment by Willard E. Tydings (Dem.,
Md which limited the share of any
one state to 20 per cent. This would
permit New York no more than
$40, 100000 of the $700,000,000 in
loans, and no more than $4,000, 600
a year of the proposed SIC, ZOO, 900 in
rent subsidies. Senator Tydings al
so obtained adoption of an amend
ment which would require local
housing project sponsors to pay S
per cent of the total cost and per
cent of the rental subsidies.

Senate O. KS Court Reform

A LII that was left of the admin
"A istration's sweeping court re-
form proposals passed the senate in
an hour without a record vote. This
was the procedural reform bill for
the lower federal courts. It was in
the nature of a substitute for the
Summers bill in the house of repre-
sentatives, and went back to the
house for what was expected to be
a peaceable conference.
Vice President Garner whipped
the measure through, even though
Senators McDuffey (Dem., Pa.) and
Lewis (Dem., ILL., loudly protested
that they wanted to go on record as
opposed to it.
The bill, as summarized by Sen.
Warren r. Austin (Rep., VIZ, who
wrote most of it, included:
Provision making it the duty Of
the District court, in any constitu-
tional suit between private citizens,
to notify the Department of Justice
that upon showing by the attorney
general that the United States had
a probable interest the government
would be made party to the suit.
Permission for the senior circuit
Judge to reassign district judges
within that circuit for the purpose
of clearing congested dockets. (If
necessary, a judge may be trans
ferred from one circuit to another.)
Permission for direct appeal to
the Supreme court, if 30-day notice
is given, from any decision of a
District court against the constitu-
tionality of an act.
Requirement that all suits for in
junction against the operation Of
federal statutes to be heard by a

Speaking of smiling, though, lot
of people have asked me why I al
ways seem to be smiling when I

I first started playing golf up in
Westchester shortly before the war,
I've told myself to keep smiling.
For I think that's the answer to
golfng success. When you're cheer
full and smiling you are relaxed and
easy, your swing doesn't freeze and
you're able to keep your club in a
flowing groove. It's when you fail
to find that groove that you find
yourself in trouble-and lots of it.
