MRS. R. P. HUFF is the new
champion at Kenwood, having
eliminated MRS. ]. C. DALE,
the medalist, in the finals yes
terday after holding her two
down from the ninth hole on.
At Columbia, MRS. H. L.
BRUNDAGE won the women's
crown by her defeat Of MRS.
G. F. CRISP in tight match
which ended l up for MRS.
BRUNDAGE on the eighteenth
hole.
But the championship finals
of the day occurred at Congress
sional Country Club between
MRS. MYRON DAVY and
HELEN DETTWEILER. Though
HELEN had added many local
and out-o of-town crowns to her
list of golf winnings, she had
never held the Congressional
title.
On the out nine, HELEN shot
the works on the first three
holes, taking only one putt on
each green, for a three-up lead.
Both were on the eighteenth
green in two, MRS. DAVY only
three feet from the pin, HELEN
about Is feet away. Until her
dying day, that putt will haunt
MRS. DAVY, for it curled around
the rim at the left of the cup
and trickled not in but beyond,
to cost her the match.
On the long playoff hole.
MRS. DAVY scrambled out of
a trap, for a six to HELEN'S
five, to shake the hand of the
new club champion.

mittedly out to track down

COOCAN CLAIM
Parents Kept Grip on
kids" Earnings

LOS ANGE LEs, April 26
UN.S0.-Jackie Coogan and his
wife, Betty Cradle, sat in their
WeStwood home today and pom.
dered the next move in Jackie's
suit for an accounting of his movie
earnings against his mother and
Stepfather, after receiving two de-
cisive setbacks.
The major blow came in the
form of a statement of his attor.
neys from the Board Of Tax Ap-
peals in Washington, which an.
nounced that "The Kids" parents
had never relinquished the rights
to his earnings and had q legal
claim on them.
TAX PLAN DENIED
The board disclosed the elder
Coogan's attempts to pay the
taxes for his sons salary of 5000
a week, for the salary of Mrs.
Coogan, now Mrs. Arthur Bern
stein, as an officer of Jackie
Coogan Productions, and for his
own income, on separate returns,
were denied by the Government.
A notice sent to Jackie's father
declared that there was no evil
dence that your minor son has
been emancipated. If a minor
has been emancipated by his
parents, his earnings are his own.
Then he learned that the Coo
gan-Bernstein estate was given an
estimated value of approximately
100000 instead of the $4,000 900
Jackie claims he was worth.
That's quite a difference,
isn't it?" he grinned. II guess
the depression accounts for the
shrinkage."
SHRINKAGE DISCLOSED
John E. Biby, appointed by the
court to make an inventory of the
assets now held by Coogan's
mother and step-father, refused to
give an exact accounting OF his
audit, but indicated the estate
which Coogan started building up,
through his fathers and Bern
STEMS management at the age of
four, had suffered considerably

He said he probably would hand
his report to Superior Judge Will

washington was flooded with

areas, and these pitiful people
were dazed to find themselves
handed slips Of paper, told to

them here or there and then

HOSPITAL POLL" TOO
Meanwhile, appeals were being
received at campaign headquarters
in the Denrike Building for a spe-
cial committee to service the hos
pitfalls, so that even the bedridden
might have their chance to ex-
press their views on suffrage.
Endorsement Of the District suf-
frage campaign by Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the driving into
the open of a whispering campaign
to sabotage the movement marked
important developments yesterday
in the fight of local citizens to
win the vote.
New support for the movement,
which yesterday gained the in
dorSement of the District of Co
lumbia Federation of Women's
Clubs, with a membership Of
10000, came from Mrs. Roosevelt
at her press conference.
Indicating that she did not feel
her status as a resident Is such
that she might vote, the First Lady
gave hearty approval to the poll
of April 80 which will enable
WaShingtonianS to make public
demonstration of their desire for
suffrage.

campaign based on racial issues
was delivered by Mrs. Eleanor M.

ton Times, over Station WRC.
Charging the Districts present

ness of the reconstruction period.
Mrs. Patterson made a vigorous
attack on those who sought to he.
vive those issues.
quoting census figures which
showed that Washington's Negro
population was approximately ~
per cent of the total, she said:
1.-The official census of 1880
showed that Washington has a
total population of more than
100000 of whom 1000 were
whites of voting age The
Negroes of voting age totaled
$4,000. The Negro population
was only 27.1 per cent of the
city's total. There were $4,000
persons in Washington who reg
iStered with the Census Bureau
as voters in the States. Clearly
if all $4,000 absentee voters were
considered as white the great
balance of potential voters re-
main white"
