RAN ELEVATED TRAIN
On the way to washington
from Akron, they stopped off at
a roadside lunchroom in Boones-
vile, Pa. for a snack. Before
they could leave the word has
spread like wildfire and a
parade began around the lunch
counter stool. In Is minutes
200 people had gathered for a
glimpse of Hollywood's most
famous child.
How long will they stay in
Washington and what will they
do? They haven't decided. Jim
Denton from the Twentieth
Century.Fox studio Is their ad-
vance man and is arranging the
itinerary.
Of course there will be a visit
to the White House and Shir-
ley is eager to see the Capitol,
the Washington Monument,
Mt. Vernon and other points of
historical interest.
Il want to see Mr.. Hoover"
Shirley says, "and have a ride
in his G-Man auto. My goodness,
I'll like that"
Another of her favorites, on
the calling list is Mrs. Roose-
welt. II want to be like her when
I grow up," she adds. The First
Lady endeared herself to Shirley
on a visit to California last win
ter. The trip will probably have
a detour to Hyde Park where she
is surnmering.
HOOVER IS FAVORITE
Shirley also wants to see
where "Uncle Bill" learned to
dance in Washington. Uncle
Bill" is the famous tap dancer
Bill Robinson, who taught her
most of the dancing routines
seen in her pictures In her last
feature the youthful stopper did
"Toy Trumpet" number,
taught by Uncle Bill, in which
the cameras and sound mikes
were focused on her for tour-and-
one-half minutes constantly. She
went through the entire routine
without missing a beat, and
dancing masters call it the great
est single dancing feat ever
shown on the screen. And the
longest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Temple want
to see Williamsburg, Va, and
the restored English settlement,
and that will be on their touring
list. Where they will go from
Washington just hasn't been
planned.
I think little Shirley was the
coolest and calmest of all who
crowded the Temples May
flower suite last night. She
accepted with a little curtsey all
the introductions made by Fox
Movietone's Arthur De Titta and
his Helen, Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Wheeler. who we're official hosts
for the visitors.
SLEEPS TEN HOURS
They were under no instruc-
tions from the studio. Only
strict rule, inflexible, Is that
there be no liquor at any OF
the tiny stars receptions. Soft
drinks only.
Shirley looks like her father,
is prettier off the screen than
on it. The washington parade
of autograph hounds hasn't
really started yet. But the cor
r1dor last night was filled with
Mayflower maids, help from the
kitchen, porters and clerks who
had congregated outside Of her
suite for a peek at the hotels
distinguished visitor.
Come what may, Shirley gets
10 hours sleep at night. 1t
was past her bedtime, so the
curfew rang last night shortly
after 10, and the stars inter
views and adventures will be
continued today.

By Harlan Aides

LONDON, KY, June 9 QN.S0
500 head!
That was the price Mrs. Martha
Howard was promised for each
union organizer she lured into
the hands Of deputy sheriffs in
Harlan county, according to her
testimony at the Governments

executives.
QUOTES DEPUTY
She asserted White gave her a
list of the organizers auto license
numbers to identify them. She
was to strike up a friendship with
them when they came in the store
and wrangle an invitation to a
dance or tavern.
Mrs. Howard said she was next
to tip off a taxi driver as to their
destination, where the deputy
said the union men would be
taken care Of"
There's 500 in the sheriff's
office for you for every man you
help us get,'" she quoted White
as saying.

The witness concluded her testi-
h1ony with the assertion that she
had overheard a group of deputies
talking about going out to see
old man Musick" on the night of
February 9, 1887, when the union
organizers son, Ben, was slain by
q shotgun blast fired through a
window of the Musick home.

never met each other until three
weeks ago. The Redskins played
together last year, as all the world
knows.
The defeat was costly to Wash

only Is the world elevating an eye
brow when their name is men,
toned, but Ed Justice, veteran
back Of the Skins, is out of action
indefinitely. He jammed his in
jured shoulder, and Roy Baker,
trainer and assistant coach, would
venture no prediction as to when
he would return to the game. Don
Irwin, battered before the game,

mered In the game, will be ready

It is true that the flood of man
power unleashed by the college
team swayed the balance in the
game, but it was not alone in re-

were better. For instance, in for

supreme, the college boys gained
159 yards in eight competitions out
Of 10 tries. Washington clicked
for lat yards in II competitions out
of "a attempts. In first downs

final score, and behind the score
we find the contributing causes to

PLAYERS FEAR
"l|NX|NG" HANK
international News Photo

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The big
three among Yankee circuit clout-
ers, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig
and Bill Dickey, have little to say
about Hank Greenberg's attempt
to break Babe Ruth's home run
record, but the general opinion is
that the record will some day fall.
"It's a pretty tough mark to
shoot at," DiMaggio says, "but
it might be cracked. Anything
can happen"
The reticence of the Yank slug.
gers probably Is due to fear OF
jinxing Big Hank. He hit his
forty-sixth yesterday, leaving but
IA to be slammed over the fence
in the space of a month to tie
Ruth's record of 60 hit in 1927.
All Greenberg would say was:
There's no question but that
the record will be broken in
time. If I don't do it this year,
maybe I'll do it next year or
the year after"
From now on the strain on
Hank will be something terrific.
Certainly he has a better chance
to equal or beat Ruth's mark than
he would if the Tigers were run
ming neck and neck with the lead
ers. No pitcher is likely to be
bearing down quite as hard against
a team as hopelessly out O: the
pennant race as the Tigers.

Taxation Without
Representati0n

In the past, with more or less
reason. Washington golfers have
complained about the handt
Gaping treatment they have re-
ceived at the hands Of the Mary
land association. But in this
case, MR.. GARY did his duty
in the only way he possibly
could with the records he had at
hand.
AT Manor BOBBY BROWN
ELL is handicapped at 8, and 1t
is so recorded on the Manor bull
letin board. To Manor handl-
caps, the Maryland association
adds one stroke in all Maryland
events. So BOBBY went to
Five Farms and gave his handi-
cap as 4.
Early this spring week was
set aside as Maryland handicap
week and pros at local clubs
were told to report their COM
peting members handicaps to
MIR. GARY. BOBBY did not
compete at Manor that week for
his handicap, so his name was
not on the list AL TREDER
sent to GARY.
Meanwhile AL JAMISON Of
Indian Spring did send In q
handicap Of 3 for BOBBY from
Indi /. Spring. And Indian
Spring handicaps do not get
that added stroke. That was
the only record which MR..
GARY had to go on in reducing
BOBBY's handicap from 4 to
3, which cut him and BETTY
MECKLEY out of winning low
net prize.
BOBBY maintains that he
never paid 81 for q handicap
from Indian Spring, so it Is all
still something of a mystery how
he his Indian Spring rating.
One thing the mix-up does
point to is a crying need for
District representation on the

ways causing trouble and hard
feelings. And the number Of
