Would Temper Pro Rule.

A NDREWS said he has sent circu-
lar letter to every association in
the country. asking that athletes turn
in suggestions, complaints and recon-
mendations.
Take the rule that II an athlete
says he might turn professional. or
is thinking about it. and presto, he's
bumped out Of amateur athletics for
merely thinking-why, it's ridiculous.
That's what happened to Jesse Owens.
"Or the rule that forbids an athlete
from remaining an amateur if he goes
to work for a sporting goods firm.
That's unfair. If man or woman
knows athletics. why shouldn't he or
she be allowed to follow q trade in
which they are versed?"

LONDON, Sept. Is. (UP)
An international naval po-
lice force came into being
today to patrol 100000
square miles of the Mediterranean
and challenge Fascist Italys bold
assertion that the Ancient sea is
primarily hers.
British and French battle fleets,
with destroyers as policemen on
the beats AMI navy seaplanes as the
equivalent of radio scout cars, took
I'D their stations on the sea lanes
to protect Mediterranean shipping
from the officially mysterious "pi-
rate" submarines which had preyed
for weeks on merchant ships.
In their own territorial waters,
ships of seven other Mediterranean
and Black sea nations joined the
police work, and ports of all these
nations were open to the British
and French fleets.
More British and French war
ships were speeding toWar1 the sea
lane, loaded with depth bombs, and
more were to be sent later.
Italy alone of Mediterranean
powers-excluding the Spanish COM
batants and Italy's little Satellite
Albania-was out Of the "Nyon ar
rangement", and apparently she
was somewhat surprised that the
other powers did not even await
her rejection of an invitation to
participate before they put their
patrol plan into effect.
Dispatches from Rome seemed to
hint that Italy might join the patrol
if her share in patrol work were
made equal to that of France and
Britain.
The Importance and sweeping ex-
tent of the Nyon arrangement were
more and more apparent. Techni-
cally submarines that did not COM
ply with rules for humanizing un-
dersea warfare alone were included.
Actually, the effect of the Nyon
plan will be that all submarines
operating on the Mediterranean will
be suspects and liable to attack.
