Resents Criticism OF
James Roosevelt.

10 the Editor OF Inc star:
As q regular subscriber to your paper,
I should like to protest your heading an
article in this evenings paper, James
Roosevelt Gave Nothing to Church,
Minister Says" on such poor authority
as that of a minister who jumps to that
conclusion simply because no credit is
taken for such contribution in an income
tax return.
It is not surprising that the 20 mem
bers Of Congress from whom the min
lister received letters, fail to attend his
church.
happen to know from my own ex-
perience that frequently no credit is
taken for charity or church contributions
in an income tax return.
do not know James Roosevelt nor
have any occasion to defend him, but
q sense Of justice compels me to resent
this statement.

Showdown With Mexico

SnOW00Wn with Mexico
President Cardenas' most recent
deal for disposal of surplus Mexican
oil will force showdown soon on the
oil controversy which has disturbed
Mexican American relations for the
past nine months.
BY contract signed through the
firm of w. R. Davis Of New York
Mexico agrees to barter $17,00O,OO0
worth of oil, taken from seized Amer
lean and British properties, for Ger
man industrial products during 1899,
and by a supplemental agreement
will supply the German Navy with
oil in exchange for 100000 cash
and a quantity of blocked marks,
utilizable only for purchase OF Ger
man products.
The oil dispute, which dates from
the appropriations last March, had
reached somewhat of an impasse,
and it was hoped in this country
that Mexico would not be forced to
take any such drastic step to break
its economic chains, and further that,
with the agrarian seizures on their
way to adjustment, something
tangible might be accomplished for
compensation of the dispossessed
American companies.
Although Mexico admittedly has
financial troubles which impel her to
deal with the relationships while her
oil is excluded from the markets of
the democracies, the Mexican
German barter can have scarcely
any other effect than to force this
Government to take much stronger
stand than hitherto.
The barter deal is particularly on
erous to this country not only be-
cause 1t is barter, and therefore
1nimical to the reciprocal trade
program Of Secretary Hull, but be-
cause 1t reduces even further the
present limited possibility of imme-
diate compensation for the American
companies.
If Mexico were selling her oil for
cash, in which the United States
could claim a share as payment for
the seized properties, the deal would
not be so distasteful, but in the
absence of any substantial amount
Of cash revenue from the oil, Mexicos
financial situation does not improve
and consequently her capacity to pay
is not enhanced.
Beyond this is the danger to Amer
acan industrial exports, for which
Mexico has been one of the chief
markets in this hemisphere. The
goods Germany will ship to Mexico
are directly competitive with Amer
lean export products.
Furthermore, the political fact
cannot be ignored that the establish
ment of vital economic ties such as
Mexico now appears to be creating
with Germany inevitably link Mex
lean interest with the ultimate des-
tiny of Nazi-Fascism in Europe, just
eao 1AAAASA1NolA 1Od1lD dllu
In Great Britain and France during
early years of the war tied the fate
Of these investments to the success
or failure of the Allies.
If such deals as Mexico is now
making multiply and Mexican oil
production becomes adjusted to a
German-Italian market, Mexico will
have a vital economic-and therefore
political-interest in the preservation
OF those markets, and in their ex-
pansion as the relationships broaden
their hegemony. That connection
will be difficult to break later without
upsetting the whole of the Mexican
oil industry as re-established.
1t Is one of the anomalies of the
Mexican oil situation that a govern
ment of workers and peasants must
seek salvation at the hands of its
theological enemies.

Bowling Stars.

Calling their tournament to a halt

Capital woman bowling stars who in
the last 10 days have shot their way
high among the leaders of the Wash
ington Women's Duckpin Association
championship at Columbia today are
treking to Norfolk, Va. for the third
annual Southern duckpin tournament.
Flying the banner of the Arcade
Pontiac Motors a crack aggregation
composed Of Lorraine GULL, Georgia
Hays, Viola Bechtold, Betty Dugan
and Anna Daut are scheduled for
competition over the week end.
Augmenting this all-star women's
lineup will be the equally brilliant
Bright Star Liquor mems team with
such headliners as Perce Wolfe, Bill
Krauss. Ollie Pacini, Red Megaw, Joe
Harrison and Ed Blakeney. Frank
Fabrizio is manager of both clubs.
Last nights competition saw Gilmore
Nugent, Government Printing Office
bowler. taking the lead in class B
singles with 1868, total that missed
the all-time mark set by Margaret
Brunelle by only one pin. Vivian
Nolan Of the Swanee District League
team, and leading bowler Of the Ladies
Internal Revenue League, shot to
second place in class A singles with
365 Annetta Matthew looms to get

PIN MEET RECORD
IS HIT BY MULvEY
His 432 in Class c Best
BoWIed in City Tourney
Closing Tonight.

Ed Mulvey. whose heyday in bowl
ing passed with the old Grand Cen
trail and Coliseum days, brought the
Washington City Duckpin Association
tournament to a stirring anti-climax
last night at Convention Hall when
he blasted his way to first place In
class c singles with a three game
count of 1872, record for his class,
the highest set of the current meet
and the second highest singles set
ever rolled in the history of the asso-
cation.
Mulvey. who now contents himself
with once-a-week rolling in the Elks
League at the Recreation, was in the
rarest form when he cut loose with
probably the finest bowling of his
career to count strings of lat, 154
and 13l which today is only surpassed
by Ed Blakeney's 442 class A ALL
time mark rolled at the Lucky Strike
last year.
Espey in Rolling Mood.
But Mulvey was not the only star
of an evening packed with bits of
bowling drama, for Eddie Espey, the
hoy" wonder Of nearly a decade,
came back to shoot his second 400 set
OF the tournament, smashing 425
set that paved the way for Conven-
tion Halls District League team to
forge to the front in class A with
1885, which dropped the 1881 turned
in by Regal Neon Sign bowlers to
second place.
Bob Miciotto. one of Ed Schlegel's
Georgetown Recreation bowlers,
frightened the singles by gaining
fourth place in class B with 389, while
Chester Lindstrom, tournament
bowler Of note hailing from the ven-
erable Agriculture Inter- Bureau
League, moved to sixth place with 377.
Notable among the team shooting
was the 1873 turned in by the Forty
and Eight pinmen Of the American
Legion League. which gained fifth
place in class E. Jack Ferrell was on
hand to see one of his Agriculture
r-Bureau League teams, the Con-
tracts, take seventh place In class e
with 1874.
Third in Glass A Doubles.
Two Southeast bowlers, Bub Cue
thler and George Honey, manager Of
the Queen Pin, shot 761. top doubles
set of the evening, to gain third place
in class A.
Bowlers Of the Silver Spring Inde-
pendent League and a flock of post
ponements' will bring the 28th annual
tournament to its end tonight, and
Secretary Arville Ebersole is hoping
that at least 80 teams show up to roll.
