ALLrPOWERFUL STATE
The one achievement Of Com

industries has been the creation
of an all-powerful state at the
cost of serious mistakes with a
waste of labor and capital, the
bureaus report continued.
The Soviet Union cannot pro
duce as cheaply as most industrial
countries because Of the lack o1
technical efficiency, poor equip

laborers and high transportation
costs. Relatively expensive min

Where q Monarch. Is Democracy

HIRSI gesture of King Gustav
 when he ascended the Swedish throne on Dec. 8, 1907, was to cancel the customary elaborate ceremonies. "The money can be spent more usefully elsewhere" he decreed, and he has never depart ed since from this sort of demo- cratic kingship.
 Recently he celebrated his 80th birthday. A collection of 6,0O0,- 900 kronor was presented by the people as an anniversary gift, and immediately Gustav turned over the whole amount to a campaign to fight infantile paralysis. On his roth birthday a similar collec- tion was arranged, but when Gus- tav heard of it he ordered the money set aside for cancer work. That collection netted 5,000,000 kronor, all of which went into special cancer hospitals complete with radium laboratories.
 So the tall, tennis-playing mon- arch retains the popularity he has long since earned in Sweden, and which gained great impetus when he kept his nation free of the World War and moved for unit- ed front with other Scandinavian countries. He is, moreover, a close student of world affairs, a traveller. He has been often called lone of the most astute diplomats in Europe" His chief pride, however, is that in Sweden

Commodore U. I. Whitehead of the Connecticut Outboard Associa- ton has announced that the racing season of the club will wind up with a regatta September 11th at Lake Quassapaug. Entries have been sent out to the leading Eastern drivers in this territory and the waters of the lake will be churned to froth when the boats begin to roar around the l IA mile course.
 Events have been scheduled for the "A", "B", and "C", classes and a special event will be arranged for c. O. A. drivers only for the mid- gets or outboard runabouts. The racing committee is ironing out the details relative to the staging of the regatta and will have a com..:ete schedule drawn up within 8 few days.
 This park has become a fayorite racing spot for the eastern drivers and the last race drew an entrant all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, Lou Eppel, who copped the "A" event in the fast time of 700 sec- onds flat for an average speed of 42.86 m. p. h, one mile away from the record.

WPA WORKERAND RAILROADER ARE GOLF ANALYSTS
Both Winners Made Strong Comebacks to Play for
 Public Links Crown
BY HENRY HENSON United Press Staff COrresD0ndenf\

Cleveland, Aug 27.-(UP) A Cleveland WPA worker who wants to be golf professional and an Oregon railroad man who'd rather play for fun meet today for the nation public links golf champion ship.
 The home town player is Al Leach, 26, city municipal champion, who works as time-keeper at the work relief headquarters. His opponent is Louis Cyr, 31, of Portland, who had to beat IT other players in a quali- flying playof to get into the match play rounds.
 Their match is at 36 holes over the Highland park course and as they teed off this morning galleryites said 1t was toss-up. Both over- came tremendous odds in their 36- hole semi-final matches yesterday, opponents of both carrying them to the last hole before lowing out of the tournament, which is the one big national event for non-club member golfers.
 Big Edge
 Leach was seven down to Bart Taro, Seattle newsboy and the tour- nament baby, at the end fo the morning 18 holes, and his victorious comeback in the closing round was by far the best exhibition of game ness seen during the tournament.
 Handicapped by a digestive ail- ment, the -Clevelander was all over the course during the first 18 holes. At one point he was eight down. But, after halving the first two holes of the afternoon round, he began firing pars and birdies at young Taro, squaring the match on the 35th..
 Poor Finish
 Under pressure Taro's steadiness deserted him on the home hole. He dubbed his second shot, pulled his third and missed an eight-foot putt for five which would have given him a halve with Leach, who had already sunk.
 CV's semi final victim was Eddie Beck, hardware salesman from Portland and a fellow links com panion. He, too, was the underdog as the second 18 holes got underway having dropped three holes in the morning round. But he caught his man on tn. 32nd, forged into the lead on the next hole and then held Beck even on the last three to win, one up.
 Leach intends to leave the WPA and offer his services as a pro- fessional-if he wins today's final.

Danbury Trojans Meet Brooklyn Dodgers, Sept. 1

Danbury, Aug. 7-(SpeciaD-The Danbury Trojans are ready to open the football season for Connecti- cut. The Brooklyn Dodgers of the National Pro loop will again helr launch the gridiron campaign at Lee Stadium here, the contest be- ing set for Thursday night, Sept. l, at 8:30.
 The Hat City eleven held the big pro club to a scoreless tie in 1886, but last year the Dodgers scored three touchdoWns on intercepted passes and fumbles to roll up 8 28-0 victory.
 Determined not to get off to such bad start this time, Coach Jack Thompson has ripped his Danbury club apart, imported some top notch talent and is proceeding to construct the most formidable com bine in eight seasons.
 Faces Tough Schedule
 The Trojans are confronted with a genuine suicide" schedule, with seven American loop foes on the list and two battles with Bristol co-sharers of the state champion ship, set for October play.
 Among the newcomers to the Danbury roster are Ray Reckmack former Detroit Lions bucking back Bill Cerigoni from little Bluefields college in West Virginia, and E. Armstrong, the ex-Dartmouth tackle who returns to the fold after two campaigns with the New York Yankees.
 The battle for the services of AL bic Burke and George Mulligan of Waterbury, goes on apace. These stalWarts have been working out with the Trojans, but may decide to switch their allegiance to the Bristol West Ends. So far these deadly state rivals have been bid- ding for Burke and Mulligan, with Hank Brophy's outfit one jump ahead at the moment.
 Thompson is angling for the serv- ices of Charley Toll, Princeton tackle, and Johnny Nee, Harvard guard. Both will take part in the Al-Star game in New York.
