British Amateur Golf.

TROON, Scotland, May 24.-United
States Amateur Champion Johnny
Goodman today defeated his Walker
Cup teammate, Ray Billows of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, and 2, to reach the
third round of the British amateur
golf championship.
While Goodman became the third
American to reach the third round,
another of his mates, Marvin (Bud)
Ward of Olympia, Wash, was beaten
in an extra hole match. The Pacific
Coast youngster lost on the twentieth
hole to Albert w. Briscoe of Britain.
Picking up one more hole after
building up three hole margin on the
first nine, Francis Ouimet, Boston vet
eran and United States Walker Cup
team captain, reached the third round
with 4-and-3 triumph over DR.. Will
liam Tweddell DR.. Tweddell cap
tanned the British team in 1896.
Regains His Margin.
Ouimet's margin was cut to up at
the 10th, where he was short of the
green in two, but he shut out Tweddell
by winning the 18th and 10th as the
Briton got into the sand.
Charley Yates of Atlanta. scoring at
the expense of one of his American
Walker Cup teammates, and Fred
Haas, jr., of New Orleans won their
f1rst-round matches today.
Yates, wearing the "lucky red Ham
nels' given him by Bobby Jones, de-
feated Johnny Fischer Of Cincinnati
with stymie on the 10th green. Haas,
wearing his Louisiana State Univer-
sity sweater with big block II"
which bafi1ed the Scots in the gallery,
routed A. j. Ashworth of Scotland, z
and 6. Haas reached the turn in "a,
to be up, and closed out his rival
three holes later.
Out in 80. to be 3 up at the turn
and 4 up after the 10th hole, Yates
wobbled in the face of Ffscher's mag
nificent fight on the back nine and
lost his lead on the home green, where
he sliced into the sand.
Fischer Is Stymied.
At the 18th both were well on In 2,
Fisher 10 feet from the cup and Yates
8. Putting first, Fischer rolled foot
and a half past. Yates then missed,
his ball stopping directly in front Of
Fischer's.
Johnny took out his niblick and
tried to jump the stymie, but his ball
hit Charley's and stayed out of the
cup.
An interesting sidelight was the
fact that Fischer won the 1886 United
States amateur championship at Gar
den City, N. j., mainly because he
stymied Scotland's Jock Mclean on
the thirty-fourth hole Of their 37-hole
final match.
In the final analysis it was Fischer's
putting that lost for him. The lean

Democratic attacks on the Vanden-
berg plan to return control over relief
to the States, with Federal aid grants,
went on today, with Senator McKellar
Of Tennessee criticizing the proposal.
Contending q similar proposal was
in the Republican platform when Gov.
All NJ. Landon was defeated in 1885,
Senator Mcclellan argued the amend
ment would mean ~ separate relief
administrations instead Of the single
Federal administration.
Senator Vandenberg proposes the
same Federal appropriation as in the
administration bill, but the funds
would be allotted to the States to be
augmented by a Is per cent local con-
tribution.
Senator McKellar declared the State
control plan might lead to untold
scandals" Referring to the handling
of the relief problem by Federal Works
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, the
TennesSean said:
There have been no scandals in his
administration except in the headlines
and when examined they have been
found without foundation"
Delay Seen in Senate.
Although Senate leaders were talk
ing hopefully of early passage OF
the $3,247,000,000 work relief and
pump priming bill, there were other
indications that differences over the
proposed curbing Of P. w. A. munich
pal power projects may prove diff
cult to settle promptly.
Senator Norris, Nebraska 1nde-
pendent, made known he would not
agree to the compromise being pre-
pared by Majority Leader Barkley
Of Kentucky, under which P. w. A.
could finance municipal power prof.
ects, but only after a city had made
a fair offer to purchase existing pri-

revamped wage-hour bill.
Py the Associated Press.
Opponents of the revamped wage
hour bill plunged the House into heated
debate Immediately after it met today
by last-ditch attempt to force adop-
ton of a more flexible substitute.
Representative Ramspeck, Democrat,
Of Georgia offered the alternative pro-
posal as the legal and safe way to
provide for regulation of the wages
and hours Of this country's sweated
labor
His bill would create an independent
administrative board with power to
grant exemptions from provisions for
q graduated minimum wage based on
the weighted average" for individual
occupations. In contrast. the House
bill would establish universal gradu-
ated minimum wage starting at as
cents an hour and increasing to 40
cents at the end of three years.
Representative Ramspeck said the
initial wage under his bill probably
would be slightly higher than Is cents
in most industries, but could not go
higher than 40 cents.
Hours under the House bill would
start at A per week and drop to 40 in
two years. Under the Ramspeck bill,
the board would have power to vary
them between 40 and 48 per week.
Almost the entire membership was
on hand when the Georgian told the
House his bill was fundamentally the
same as the bill passed by the Senate
last summer, but asserted it had been
amended to fix definite floor" un-
der wages and provide for geographic
cal representation on the administra-
tive board.
Endorsed by Labor Bodies.
Declaring it had been indorsed origi-
nally by the c. I. o. and the American
Federation Of Labor, he said the House
would have to accept it 'if you want
to give anything more than gesture
to the sweated labor in this country"
"As far as I've been able to learn"
he said, 'the Norton (House) bill has
no chance of being enacted into law
by agreement of the Senate"
Whatever bill the House adopts
probably will have to 60 to a joint
Senate House committee for adjust
ment Of differences.
Il believe most sincerely this is the
only method that has chance of be-
ing sustained by the courts of this
country" Mr.. Ramspeck added.
Immediately after he concluded,
Representative Boileau, Progressive. OF
Wisconsin sought to have the
Georgian;s substitute stricken down
on the ground that 1t was not germane
to the House Bill.
Predict Passage Today.
Leaders brought the bill up to the
amendment stage late yesterday after
five hours of general debate. They
predicted it would pass by a substan-
tial margin before adjournment to-
night.
They based their optimistic forecast
partially on the overwhelming vote OF
322 to 70 by which the membership
forced the bill to the floor. Only So
Democrats and 20 Republicans op-
posed its consideration.
Mr.. Ramspeck said that defeat Of
his substitute would not halt the cam
paign to make the bill more flexible.
He drafted an amendment to make
the proposed annual increases in the
minimum wage discretionary.
"This bill Is never going to become
law" Mr. Ramspeck asserted. 1T will
pass the House all right, but I don't
think the Senate will accept It,"
when 1t gets to conference" Mr..
Ramspeck added, I'VE may be able to
work out a compromise that will be
acceptable"

STATE

Today and tomorrow will afford theatergoers their last opportunity of seeing "If I Were King" starring Ronald Colman; also Margaret Lindsay and Ann Sheridan in Broadway Musketeers" at the War ner Brothers State theater. "Broad- way Musketeers" is included in the movie quiz. contest.
 On Friday, the State will present another big double feature unit show that tops everything in the big parade of new season hits this is the motion picture industries biggest year and week after week the man. agement of this theater has proven this statement time and again by presenting combinations of hit pic- lures which have never before been shown in this city.
 Dashing Erroll Flyn, the heart- breaking gallant of Robin Hood" and dynamic Bette Davis, the man wrecking tigress of "Jezebep' form the most exciting screen match in a decade in the headliner of this movie quiz bill "The Sisters"
 The two stars are hailed as the biggest star combination in motion picture history. Their brilliant act. ing sets the tempo for the rest Of the splendid cast which includes fourteen featured characters.
 Myron Brinig's best-selling novel of the same name forms the basis for this must see" film. The book has already caught the imagination of millions of readers and now 1t has been faithfully transformed to the screen in all its transcenden hu- manness.
 Miss Davis is seen as one of the trio of sisters whose varying for- tunes are the theme of the story, The other two are Anita Louise and Jane Bryan. Their parents are por- trayed by Beulah Bondi and Henry Travers, the latter comparatively new to pictures but long famed on the stage.
 The other important roles are flll- ed by Ian Hunter, Donald Crisp, Alan Hale, Dick Foran, aPtrick Knowles, Lee Patrick and Laura Hope Crews.
 It is, however, with the life of the oldest sister, played by Miss Davis, that the picture is mainly concerned. She believes she has found the answer to her longings for fuller life than her little home town affords when charming young newspapermen from San Francisco, played by Flynn, comes to her own and pays ardent court to her. Within week, she has mar ried the newspaper man and left with him for San Francisco. From this point on the film moves swiftly with typical Davis-Flynn character istics.
 On the same show as the second smash hit of Touchdown Army" co- starring Mary Carlisle and John Howard. You positively haven't seen a football game until you see this picture.

Czech Liberty, Now In Peril, Was Graded 20 Years Ago In Philadelphia
BY NEA SERVICE


 Philadelphia, oct. 90 = Twenty years ago. on October 26, Thomas e. Masaryk, the first president of the young Republic of Czechoslo- vakia, statesman, scholar, philoso- pher, an old man with a white beard, put golden pen to paper in the historic Independence Hall inI Philadelphia, where Americas own Declaration of Independence was signed.
 The paper was document which concluded with the words: We be- lieve in democracy; we believe in liberty, in liberty foreverl" Not only did Masaryk, who had worked for a lifetime to see his land free, proclaim the principles of the rights of man and the prin- ciples of equality for his own coun- | try in that historic Declaration of Independence of the Czechoslovak- ian Republic, but he also announced the freedom of other subject Slavic peoples of Central Europe from the tyranny and oppression of the hated lrule of the Hohenzollerns and Haps- burgs.
 Today when this same republic, now almost of age, is facing dis memberment at the hands of the rulers who have succeeded the Ho- henzoIlerns and the Hapsburgs, there are many citizens of the Quaker City who recall the impress sive demonstration of the Slavic people who gathered at Indepen- dence Hall to honor Masaryk and the new Declaration of Indepen- dence.
 One enthusiast in the crowd car ried 8 banner on which was boldly written: "The motto of the Czecho- Slovaks is Independence or Death!
 It was no accident that Masaryk chose to sign the declaration of in dependence in Philadelphia nor that he used American principles oi equality as the foundation of the declaration. He had married . Brooklyn woman; together they hac studied American history in detail And that was one of the reasons why he incorporated in the repub. lican document for his own country the principles that nninorities must be safeguarded, that titles of nobil. ity should be abolished, that social and economic reforms must be il- { troduced and that modern democ'
