Workers Assured Paw
Throughout Year
Under 6. N. Plan
Cho;rmon Sloan Says
$50, 900 Employees Will
Come Under Program
9y The Associated Press,

sy the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. 15.-General Mo-
tors Corp. announced today two
benefit plans intended to assure
hourly wage employees of weekly in
comes throughout the year.
Chairman Alfred P. Sloan, jr.,
said about 100000 workers would
fall within the scope of the plans.
The plans represent large-scale
attempt to level off the income
peaks" and valleys" inherent in
the seasonal automotive industry
by using resources of the industry's
largest corporation as a stabilizing
factor.
Employees with five or more years
Of service will be entitled to ad-
vances in periods of curtailed en-
ployment sufficient to bring their
aggregate weekly incomes from all
sources to so per cent of their stand
ard weekly earnings. That plan
will be known as the General Mo-
tors income security plan"
Every employe eligible under the
dncome security plan" Sloan said,
lis enabled to make his personal
arrangements for a full year ahead
with assurances that in no week
will his income be less than 60 per
cent of standard weekly earnings" !"
Employees with two to five years
of service will be entitled to ad-
vanceS in periods of subnormal &C.
tivity equal to 40 per cent of their
standard weekly earnings. That
plan, which limits the advances to
the equivalent of u hours of work,
will be known as "the General Mo-
tors lay-off benefit plan"
Employees will be required to repay
the advances by work performed
when production increases.
The announcement said suit
able plan applicable to $1,000 sal
aried employees was being prepared.
Mr.. Sloan said that while the
corporation may sustain a consider
able loss, I believe the greater Sc
curity provided under the plans and
the better relations that such CO.
operation will promote between the
corporation and the employees bene-
fitted will justify the costs involved"

PUb[|NX ENTRIES
SET NEW RECORD
250, Including Four From
D. C., Due to Tee Off at
Cleveland Monday.

Tin-can golfers of the land are get
ting more enthused over their cham
pionship for the public links cham-
pionship of the United States. The
boys who get their golf the hard way
on the municipal layouts-haye en-
tered the national title tourney in
greater numbers this year than ever
before.
Two hundred and fifty Of the pay
as~they-play boys. including four from
the National Capital, have entered the
championship affair at Cleveland's
Highland Park course starting next
Monday. The field represents a total
OF ~ communities in 20 States, dis
tricts and territories, and Sc teams Of
four players each have entered the
competition for the Harding Cup, pre-
sented in 1923 by Warren G. Harding,
President of the United States.
These totals all represent new rec
ords for the public links champion
ship. Previous record for the tourney
was 223 entries, in 1886 at Bethpage
State Park, Long Island.
The quartet of Washington entries,
forming the Harding Cup team from
the Capital, have drawn favorable
starting times in the 36-hole medal
round, and the boys may go some
where in the tourney that elevated
Claude Rippy to the runner-up posi-
ton in 1886

partment clerk, starts Monday at 10:40

taker of New Haven, Conn. Bradley
H. (Ted) Burrows, the portly chicken
merchant, whom we strongly suspect
will put on the best exhibition Of any
OF the local entrants, plays at 1:20

Wienke of Milwaukee, Wis.
Andrew j. Oliveri, the young shoe
repair man who holds the District
municipal title, starts at 1910 and

links in washington, will show up with
a plea for the 1910 championship for

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 18.-The pos
Casino tennis tournament appeared
far removed today as International
Champion Don Bulge and the seven
other quarter er-finalists prepared to

for the first time this week.
Bulge, whose previous play indi-

march against the winner of the other
upper-half match, between Frank
Parker of Beverly Hills, Calf, and
Bryan (Bitsy) Grant. the Atlanta mite

such encounters.

starts this season, was linked with
stylist Sydney Wood of New York for
what promised to be the most exciting
Of the four singles matches
Only two of those survivors were ex-
tended as they qualified for the round
of eight. Grant and Cooke had to
play extra sets to get through Jack
Kramer of Los Angeles and Gardner
Mulloy of Miami. but the other seeded
stars pounded out straight set deci-
sions. Bulge, two-time Casino win
ner, took Archie Henderson. the North
Carolina college star, in stride.
Allison Erases His Pal.
Allison drew the unpleasant assign
ment of eliminating Johnny Van Ryn,
his intimate tennis friend and business
partner. Hunt overcame Gene Mako,
the Davis Cup doubles player; Petra
advanced at the expense of William
Murphy, the Chicago twin, and Wood
moved through Hal Surface of Kansas
City.
The doubles action started yesterday
with the favored Budge-Mako team
romping through two sets of rivals to
gain the fourth round and lap the
field. All the other seeded teams,
Hunt and Wood, Allison and Van Ryn,
the Oakland, Calf, combination of
Frank Kovacs and Bobby Harman,
halted in the third round, as did the
first two ranking foreign pairs, G.
Patrick Hughes and Charles Hare of
England, and Petra and Bernard Des-
tremeau, who defeated Bulge and

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. 18.--Re-

England was at stake, Jack Crawford

Although Crawford and Won Cramm
have since passed out Of the picture,

Quist and Metaxa have met once be-

"Quist had met match point and

called the service good, however. and
Quist insisted on replaying the point,
and then went on to take the match
Naturally, there should be no reversal

Quist, meanwhile, has developed
into one of the worlds great stars,
and since he, like Bromwich, is playing
at the top of his game, he's favored
over his German rival, too.
Because the Germans reached the
doubles final at Wimbledon this year
they figure to push their rivals hardest
