TAX LAWS TARGET

Their chief target was the tax
laws, especially the corporate un-
distributed profits and capital
gains taxes, though they agreed
other policies Of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration had put hobbies" on
business, as Flanders phrased it.
The Governments attitude of
trying to get somebody or some
group" has spread fear among
investors and business today lies
helpless before the Government, I"
Flanders said.
The Washington times., 1938-03-02
CHANGES OPINION

''Up until a year ago, 1t was
my personal conviction that the
unfavorable sentiment which
held back spending and investi-
ing was to be laid about equally
at the door of industry and Gov
ernment," said Flanders, II have
now come to the conclusion that
the full measure Of responsible
ity must be laid at the door Of
Government for the state of
mind which induces us to hold
onto our money"
"The principal reasons for this
change of opinion lies in the fact
that industry is now completely
helpless before government. Gov
must, therefore, take full
responsibility"
Flanders listed real estate build
ing, railroads and electric public
utilities as the three main avenues
for restoring employment.

Compromise Sought
To Halt Bitter Fight
Over Reorganization
Both Sides Concede Senate Bill Must Be
Changed or Face Long Contest
NNS.) Negotiations for compromise on the bitterly
feupht Government reorganization bill started in the

alton bill were started in the
Senate today.
With the Democratic forces
split wide open and the Republi-
cans almost 100 per cent against
major features of the bill, it was
conceded on both sides that a
compromise is necessary to pre-
vent a long contest.
Foes of the bill. which would
give the President broad power to
consolidate, coordinate and abol-
ish agencies of the executive
branch of the Government, were
striving for adoption of the
Wheeler amendment, which would
make such changes subject to con-
gressional approval.
AUDIT SHIFT FOUGHT
Other proposed amendments
would forbid abolition of the comp
troller generals office for an
audit bureau under the budget
bureau, and exempt the Civil
Service Commission from the re-
organization plan.
The opposition argued the meas
ure would result in increased Fed
eral expenditures, rather than re-
trenchment and insisted economy
should be the primary purpose of
any reorganization scheme.
There is no member of the
Senate who is more conscious Of
the extravaganza which exists in
the bureaus and departments
here in Washington, the over
tapping activities, the dupli-
Gated efforts, than am l." said
Senator Byrd CD of Virginia,
a leader of the opposition.
He will offer a batch Of amend
ments designed to perfect" the
bill.
POWER GRANT CITED
First" Byrd said, "I want
Congress to go clearly on record
that economy is one of the main
objectives of any reorganiza-
ton of the Government. Second,
there should be no greater power
conferred upon the Executive
branch of the Government than
is necessary to accomplish the
purpose of a business-like and
thorough reorganization.
Third, I want to see pre-
served the independence of the
general accounting office, and I
want to see preserved the indie
pendence of the various agencies
of this Government such as the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the Communications Com
mission, the Power Commission
and other qua si-j u d icial
agencies"
Byrd said the policies CT Con-
gress should not be swept aside
through a broad delegation of
power to the Executive. the bill
stipulates that this power would
expire July l, 1910.

Canadian Horsemen
Rally in National
Challenge Glass
Promise Keen Defense
Of Trophy They Won
At Show Lost Year
By the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Nov. 10-The mill
tary phase of the National Horse
Show, which so far has been de-
cidedly Chilean and United States,
with emphasis on the former, may
take on another angle tonight when
the Canadian Army officers defend
another of the many trophies they
won last year.
The International Military Spe-
cial Challenge Trophy brings the
officers and their picked mounts of
six nations into the Madison Square
Garden arena, with last years win
ner, 1t. Marshall Cleland of Canada,
in the gallery. 1t. Cleland injured
his back last summer and probably
is through riding over the jumps,
while Square. the horse he rode to
victory, was killed in Europe several
months ago.
Canadian Team Rallies.
The Canadians present a strong
front, however, with Capt. Stuart
Bate and 1t. Douglas Cleland, %
year-old brother of Marshall, their
main reliance. The Dominion Of
flcers got away to a bad start in this
show, but the last two nights they
came up with rides that indicated
their horses are rounding into form,
now that the weather is cooler.
The officers from the north coun-
try matched the performances of
the Chile and United States teams
last night in the final test of the
three-day competition for the
trophy presented by President Ar
turo Alessandri of Chile, but the bad
night in the opening competition
spoiled their chance of retaining
the trophy. AS it was, the Chileans
won with a low score of 20 faults
and were trailed in order by the
United States. Irish, Mexicans, Ca
nadians and Cubans.
Civilian Field Narrows.
The competition among civilian
exhibitors for ribbon honors
apparently has narrowed down to
four-cornered affair involving the
stables of Mrs. James B. johnson of
Rochester, Mich: A. B Dick Dicks
field Farm of Gurnee, Ill; Alfred B.
Maclay's Killearn Farm of Mill
brook, N. Y, and L. Victor Wells
Fair City Stables of Elberon, N. j.
Mrs. johnson, the former Frances
Dodge and winner two years ago,
entered the day leading with eight
blues as the result of four triumphs
yesterday. Maclay is only one back,
but five of his came in the special
classes for hackney-bred horses on
the opening day.

skinny purses, make you believe that
the topnotchers of today are rolling
in wealth. A purse of $500 was big.
The boys played for peanuts. Con-
trast the few open Journeys of 25
years ago with the 100000 in purses
that will be spread around among
the top pros of today.
Some of them will be at Augusta
next month, but many of them are
gone. Alex Smith and Willie Camp
bell are dead. Gil Nichols doesn't
play tournament golf any more. Nor
does Jim Barnes. Yet you can look
for good scoring from men like Nc
Leod and Jock Hutchison.
You'll hear tales from some
of the more cynical golfers of
years agone that when they
took away the ribbed spade
mashie they took Jock Hutchi-
sons game.
1t isn't so. Jock can still play
golf. And SO can Fred Mcleod.
These men-the seniors who will
gather at Augusta next month-are
the men who kept the torch of
golf burning when the game was
young and before a young Bos-
tonian named Francis Ouimet put
golf on the front page with his
1913 open championship victory.
These men really are golf.
They represent something that
cannot be replaced by the present
grlmly serious Sneads and Gull
dahls and the others who are win
ming tournaments today.
Sure, the current winners are
good. But there's something more
to golf than mere shot making and
scoring below 10 and breaking par
every time you start. Maybe the
Scottish brogue has something to
do with it. And maybe that's why
A. S. Bourne and the other good
folk at Augusta dig deep down in
their jeans every year to entertain
the men who made golf in America.
Fred Mcleod is one of them
And Freddie can come back with
all the marbles. He isn't as young
as Jock Hutchison, but he is good
enough to win.
The tournament will be played
December 6 and 7 over the 36-hole
route, with 18 holes each day, which
makes a sissy out of Fred in way.
He is used to going SO holes a day
at home.
Mrs Lou E. Harris is the new
Womens golf chairman at Wood
mont. Mrs. Harris was chosen yes
terday at the annual meeting, fol-
lowing turkey tourney won by
Mrs. Gustave Ring, who scored
net 81 to win. Mrs. Theodore
Peyser won the gross award after
tie with Mrs. Henry Goodman.

Pinehurst's opening tournament
OF the season is going to draw only
three or four of the pro golfers
around Washington for the Mid
South affair to run most of next
week. Coming at the same time as
the annual meeting of the Profess
sional Golfers Association at Chi
cago, the Pinehurst gathering, long
a rallying point for the top pros of
the land, who figure it as the begin
ming of the winter tour, will draw
the usual good field in point of links
class, but most of the administrators
of the pro game will be at Chicago
for the P. G. A. annual conclave.
Bob Barnett, Chevy Chase pro, plans
to go to Chicago as delegate from
the Middle Atlantic P. G.. A.
Diffenbaugh and Walper Go.
Local. pros definitely planning to
go are George Diffenbaugh of Ken
wood and Leo Walper, the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. champ, who
planned to get away last week and
was held up by some last-minute
cleanup work. When Leo leaves
Washington he will be away for five
months or more. playing the winter
circuit and probably getting to Cali
fornia for the big money affairs
there. Cliff Spencer hasn't yet de-
cided whether he can go to Pine
hurst and Witty Cox will stick
around Washington. Cox will 60 to
Pinehurst later with a group of
Congressional members who are
planning big party at the Carolina
resort the first week in December.
Barnett, by the way, will be getting
away for Florida early this year.
Bob usually leaves around Thanks

Stokes Listed for Dogs
Of Different Glasses:
Bench Show Sunday

The annual field trials of the
National Beagle Association start
today at Aldie, Va, and continue
Tor 10 days, each day being marked
by its own special features. Small
packs of four hounds are running
today. Friday and Saturday will
see the running of large packs, some
of them world renowned.
Sunday will feature a bench show
and the running of single classes,
which means the running of beagles
in pairs. not singly. Thereafter
until the close of the show, there
will be various stakes for dogs of
different classes, including derby
and all-age stakes for dogs from
13 to Is inches and for dogs over
IS inches.
The National Beagle Association
owns its own field grounds near
Aldie. The place is known as In
stitute Farm and consists of about
500 acres of beautiful countryside
and a group of buildings, which at
one time. prior to and at the
time of the Civil War, served as a
hospital, and after that were used
as a school.
Contenders and exhibitors in these
trials are expected from all over
the Eastern section of the country
including the Foxcatcher beagles
owned by the Du Points, the Pea
pack Hunt pack, the Myopia Hunt
Club pack, packs from Westchester
County, Long Island; New Jersey
Massachusetts,, as well as from the
hunting counties of Virginia and
Maryland
These trials, staged in one of the
most beautiful regions near here,
present a very colorful spectacle.

better than Freddie that in so far
as grabbing the dough in big time
tournament nowadays the parade
has gone past him. You don't win
many golf purses at the age of So,
and even though Fred Mcleod al
ways has been a great SHOEMAKER
and one of the really fine masters
of the cut iron shot and the bunker
shot, you need more than that to
stay along with the masters of
scoring in golf today.
In a way the Augusta tourney
marks a definite line of cleavage be-
tween the men who play shots and
the men who play clubs; between
the master shotmakers of another
links era and the men who learned
the game in the age of built-uS
greens and sandwiches. And in
a broader sense between the oldsters
and the younger men of golf. There
wouldn't be any more sense of pit
ting Sam Snead, COLTS current SEN
sation, against Jock Hutchison, the
present P. G.. A. senior champ, than
there would be in matching Clyde
Asher's WoodWaac-a good horse in
his class-against Seabiscuit.
Twenty years ago Jock
Hutchison was tops as a golf
pro. Today, even though Jock
remains fine SHOEMAKER, he
wouldn't finish in the first 20
in a major tournament.
The game is too fast for the older
crop of pros.
Scots Used to Be Tops.
And that's the main reason for the
organization of a senior P. G. A.
tournament-the one big tourney of
the year that Fred Mcleod enjoys.
To get the picture you must under
stand the sentiment between the
older Scottish pros; the veterans of
the game in the days before the
home-breds began to sweep every
thing before them. Before the days
when Sarazen. Hagen, Diegel, Gull
dahl, Snead, Runyan and the others
stopped the march of the Caledo-
mans. Those were brave days for
the Scots. They had everything
their own way - Alex Smith, Gil
Nichols. Jock Hutchison, Alex Camp
bell, Willie Smith, Macdonald Smith
and even Jim Barnes, the tall
Cornishman, who yet was a British
subject. And Fred Mcleod.
Small as he was then and
now, Fred Mcleod definitely
belonged in the top flight of
golf.
Never big hitter, but always one
of the most accurate men who ever
smacked a tee shot down the groove,
Freddie played the skimpy tourna-
ment circuit of those days. Some
of the yarns they tell-these old
timers-of those days, with their

tne problems that serious

Strangely enough, 1t is a problem
that worries much more than it
gratifies them. The damage done
to a breed by huge popularity such
as was enjoyed by German shep-
herds Is years ago takes years to
eradicate and sometimes leaves
scars that never can be eradicated.
In June of 1924, 1t took 81 pages

1t is some time since the manu-

labeled their products to show the
approximate amounts to feed dogs
of varying sizes.
Some years ago most cans of dog
food advised their purchasers that
one can was sufficient for a dog
of setter or collie size.
1t is not surprising that they have
ceased so to mark their cans, for
repeated trials have proven that
the average can of dog food con-
tains approximately $50 calories,
to use a simple measure, and that
the average dog of that size requires
about 1900 calories per day.

Discovery
Find Two Dead Men At
Scene Of Automobile
Accident

Enroute home from Los Angeles
where they witnessed the Notre
Dame University of Southern Cali
fornia football game Saturday,
Manuel Escalada and Lewis Bristol
made a gruesoue discovery three
miles north of Continental on the
Nogales- Tucson highway shortly af-
ter midnight Tuesday morning.
They found two dead men and
another man seriously injured at
the scene Of an automobile wreck.
The dead are c. H. Beckett Of Phoe-
nix, 30, collector for the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, and D.
M. Romero of Tucson, a shop
employee of the Southern Pacific
Company. The injured is Mack Foss
of Tucson, %. employee of the shop
department of the Southern Pa
cific.
Escalada and Bristol were driv-
ing along when suddenly they OBJ
served man lying along the side
of the road raise an arm. At first
they thought maybe it was ruse
to get them to stop to give the man
a. ride.
After stopping their car they went
back and ascertained from Foss
that he had been hurt in an au-
tomobile accident and had crawled
from a ditch to the road.
A few yards away they found an
overturned car and dead man
hanging in midair by one foot from
the demolished automobile. A few
feet away was another dead man.
The injured man was taken by the
Nogalians to hospital in Tucson
and an ambulance from Tucson
came out and conveyed the dead
pair to Tucson.
It is believed that the three men
had been drinking and that they
lost control of the car and it over
turned four times when it failed
to make curve, missed a bridge,
and plunged off the highway.
