dates for the House consider the
question theoretical.
Causes Of War
The fourth question states that
the Association favors participa-
ton and leadership by the gov
eminent Of the United States in
international efforts to remove
the causes Of war. Senator Lon
ergan agrees and insists emphati-
cally that such leadership should
come from the Dept. Of State
which understands the problems
involved.
BY the last question, favoring
United States membership In the
World Court and adherence to its
Optional Clause, the Association
Is reminding the candidates Of
the establishment of the Court
through American efforts and Of
the fact that democracy at home
and abroad Is founded on the
ideas of order and justice under
law. Both candidates for the Sen
ate answer in the affirmative.

its work.

"The next Congress may be
called upon to decide questions
Of immense importance to US and
to the world. AL the ,Congressior-
al candidates In Connecticut have
been interviewed on five funda-
mental questions Of foreign policy,
and charts with their answers are
being distributed today In towns

tric". This statement comes from
Mrs. r. L. G. Kitchelt, the direc-
tor Of the Connecticut League Of
Nations Association.
Trade Agreements
The questions were chosen with
great care, according to Mrs.
Kitchelt. The first asks whether
the candidate favors the policy Of
Reciprocal Trade Agreements. The
Association believes that the
United States may help to pre-
vent future wars, like the recent
explosion In Central Europe and
the Japanese aggression In China,
both largely due to economic
causes, II the United States will
assist In the free flow Of interna-
tional trade. Senator Lonergan
and Congressman Citron and
Smith favor this policy. Mr.. Dam
aher Is opposed and both Mr..
Monkiewicz and Mr.. Rice fear its
effect on American industry.
The Association favors revision
of the Neutrality Act to provide
for embargoes on 'other materials
useful in war as well as on NUM-
tons, and to allow discrimination
against the aggressor and In fav-
or Of a country which has not

| FOR POOLROOMS
All Local Establishments
Must Close at | a. m.
Says Prosecutor

Enforcement Of little-hnown
statute requiring the closing Of
poolrooms at a. m. is promised by
Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers. He said
he would ask the cooperation Of
police in enforcing the law.
In a statement in city court this
week, Prosecutor Meyers declared
that many poolrooms about the city
are ignoring the law an dremain
open long after q. m. He said that
many complaints had been received
from persons about the city, relative
to disturbances in the pool parlors
after the legal closing hour.
The first charge of operating q
pool room after hours was entered
in city court Thursday against
Charles Demo, colored operator Of
a place at 48 Bishop street. Though
Demo was discharged because of
uncertainty as to the time his place
was entered by police, Prosecutor
Meyers took occasion to make a
statement warning operators Of all
pool rooms in the city that they
must close on time.
MANY of these places" he said,
"are filled with young fellows until
all hours Of the morning. It's a
practice that has to be stopped, and
I plan to see that the / a. m. clos
ing hour law is enforced"

straight left is a good thing to
have in the ring or on the golf
course" says the mild-man-
nered Tony Manero, who came
up out of nowhere two years
ago and made himself the Ma
tional Open champion at Bal
tusrol.
1.-THE left hand is the key to
good golf" says the man who
was a clever boxer in those days
around Portchester, N. Y, when
he was serving neighboring
courses as a caddy. Torn be-
tween the love of the ring and
his fondness for sweeping fair.
ways, Tony decided his future
lay in the more placid OF the
two sports.
Il might have been a cham
pion of give and take" he says
philosophically, "but I'm quite
satisfied to have been cham
pion of the greatest of all
games"
Tony is now 80 and is pro-
fessional at the Salem Country
Club up Boston way, where the
presence of Denny Shute,
Harold (Jug) McSpaden and
Jimmy Fogarty have revived
the prestige of the MaSsachu-
sets stronghold. He has grown
heavier since he won champion
ship.
ADDED WEIGHT A HELP
IT strip to ITS now," he tells
you. Il used to be at my best
between 145 and 1855. I have to
watch my diet closely although
the added weight had helped
rather than hurt my game. It
has slowed down my back swing.
I now hit the ball with a more
measured stroke.
Eyes, I'm just as keen as ever.
I'm always looking for an easier
way to score. / never tire of
working at my game. I average
at least an hour a day on the
practice grounds and I'm sure if
every golfer did that there would
be less grumbling.
"a sound swing lives forever,
but it has to be tuned up proper
ly. To me, the grip has always
been the most important thing
in the game because a good,
sound grip stays with you al
ways. Show me the good gripper
and I'll show you the good golfer.
When the hands are able to
work smoothly in unison, the
rest of the game becomes much
easier.
SECRET OF LONG HITTING
Some of my brother profes-
SIGNALS have told me my grip is
as sound as any they've ever
seen. 1 don't let the left hand
get too far over the shaft and
like to have the shaft go across
the palm of the hand with only
two of the knuckles showing. A
firm left hand is the secret of
long hitting. I can either hook
or slice with my left. I'm never
conscious of my right hand even
when playing the shorter shots.
What do I believe to be the
greatest need of the poorer
player?
I'D say better coordination
between the body and the hands.
Too many golfers let the body
trail after the hands or else
make no use of their body what
soever. They should let the
body swing the hands. The body
takes the club back and starts
it down. If they would start the
swing with the body swinging
the left hand their progress
would be rapid.
Those who take the club back
with their hands alone usually
pick it up too quickly and get no
width to their swing. They
merely chop down at the ball,
BY initiating the swing with the
body they would Immediately
widen the arc and hit a
Straighter, truer ball."
Tomorrow, in the Washing.
ton Times, Lester Rice presents
the young star of the West,
Johnny BulIG. 1Uho 1Dili suggest
stronger hands for a stronger
g1me.)
