Riggs Is Aggressive
In Trimming Wood
In Three Sets
Speeds to Net 81 Times,
Mixing Hard Smoshes
And Soft Drop Shots
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y, Aug. s.
Bobby Riggs performed an old chore
a new way today, capturing the 49th
annual Meadow Club invitation
tournament for the third successive
time with 1913, Ga, Ga triumph
over Sidney Wood, and giving an ef-
fective answer to critics of his net
game with an impressive exhibition
at the barrier.
Riggs, who usually avoids the net
in favor of the baseline, moved for"
ward 81 times, plaguing Wood with
weak little bunts that dropped lazily
into the forecourt, with which he
mixed occasional brutal smashes
that threatened to catalpult his New
York rival right off the court.
Gains $1,000 Trophy.
Bobby thus gained permanent
possession of the $1,000 Presidents S
Challenge Cup. Wood also bowed
to the Wimbledon champion last
year, although in much easier
fashion.
Wood, who won at Wimbledon
himself in 1881, gained 80 ad-
vantage at the very outset of the
match. Riggs finally squared it at
A and then neither would relin-
quish his service for the next eight
games.
With the score deadlocked at 8-S,
however, Riggs finally negotiated the
break and followed by holding service
to take the set.
The veteran Wood built 20 edge
in the second set, but Bobby won the
next four games, to put himself into
position to take it.
Riggs Hits Stride.
Wood staged a game comeback in
the third set. He went into a 4-2
lead, mainly on Riggs over-anxious-
ness. At this stage, however, Riggs
started a streak that carried him
through the next four games to
victory.
He held Wood to only eight points
in that stretch, scoring with smash
ing fiat drives. Wood attempted to
lob in vain effort to stop Bobby
from leveling, but it did no good.
Riggs in Doubles Final.
Riggs returned to the courts later
and teamed with Elwood Cooke, his
Wimbledon doubles partner, to de-
feat Chicago's Murphy brothers,
Chester and William, lib, 6-3,
ST, Ga, 60, in a doubles semi
final.
The winner will meet Don McNeill
Of Oklahoma City and frankie
Parker of Beverly Hills, Calf, in
the finals Sunday afternoon.

Monopoly Committee
To Study S|ow-up
OF Capital Flow
U. S. Industry Pictured
As SeIf-Sufficient
And Independent

In receipt of evidence that Amer
ica's greatest industries are self-suf-
f1cent and independent of the out
side capital markets, the Monopoly
Committee next week will turn to
study of the flow of individual
savings from pay envelopes through
banking institutions to eventual pro-
ductive operation.
The relative stagnation of this
flow is believed to be the funda-
mental explanation of the past 10
years of depression.
To present testimony on the forth
coming phase of the inquiry, the
committee has asked Ralph Manuel,
president of the Marquette National
Bank of Minneapolis, DR. John
Davenport of the Harvard Business
School, and Assistant Secretary of
State Berle to appear Monday.
Yesterday the committee heard
leaders of the automobile and air
craft industries describe how their
companies had purposely avoided
outside financing in favor of drawing
on internal revenues for expansion
and modernization.
Appearing for General Motors
Corp, Alfred P. Sloan, chairman of
the board, described the tremendous
growth of this company, its periodic
modernization and its extensive re-
search. Despite all these, he said
and plants modernized or expanded,
his company uses its own earnings
In the 18-year period (of the
company's history" he said, there
has been substantially no outside
financing
Mr.. Sloan predicted further eX-
pansion of his own industry.

any further deterioration in the
situation
1T still remains to strengthen
them by more permanent arrange
ments and to try to get additional
support for them from any other
quarters which are willing and able
to give that support" he said.
Mr.. Atlee declared that the best
hope OF preventing war" was to get
"a firm union between Britain,
France and Russia" Referreing to
the negotiations with Russia he
said:
These negotiations are supposed
to be wrapped in secrecy and week
after week we are told in reply to
questions that there must be no
interference while delicate negoti-
ations are going on"
He AIDED that the government s
policy had turned out to be 'leaky"
diplomacy rather than secret
diplomacy

Mr.. Chamberlain expressed re-
gret that Russia had decided not to
send her first assistant foreign COM
misSar, Vladimir P. Potemkin, to
| Geneva for discussions with Foreign
Secretary Viscount Halifax and
French Foreign Minister Georges
Bonnet at the League of Nations
Council meeting opening next
Monday.
When Mr.. Lloyd George protested
it was vital for the House to know
what stood in the way of an agree
ment with Russia, Mr.. Chamberlain
retorted:
1T may be vital to Mr.. George
bit 1 think it might be deadly to
the negotiations"
He said he was confident that,
with the help of the French govern
ment, 1t may be found possible to
overcome those obstacles which
have hitherto prevented us from
finding agreement with the Soviet
Union"
Winston Churchill, war time cab
| met member, and Anthony Eden
tormer foreign secretary, spoke after
MI. Chamberlain, each urging a
complete British French Russian
| alliance.
Mr.. Churchill said he was unable
to understand the governments OBJ
lection to an agreement with Mos
COW in the broad and simple form
proposed by the Russian Soviet
government"
Such an alliance, he said, would
be like setting up an armored UNI
brella under which other countries
would be invited to take shelter.
He went on:
1T is said, Can you trust the Rus
sian Soviet government But sup
pose IN Moscow they are saying
Can we trust Chamberlain I hope
we may say that the answer to both
questions is in the affirmative"
Crucial Decision Seen.
Previously, Mr.. Lloyd George had
told the House that negotiations
among Great Britain. France and
Russia had reached a point where
decisions taken in the next few days
might be "the most important since
the decisions taken in 1914"
Opening foreign affairs debate, the
veteran leader said that there is
tension and strain. There is a gen.
eral feeling of dread. We are all
very nervous and anxious"
Il think every one is contem-
plating another blow from the die
tator powers" Mr. Lloyd George
said. mo one knows where it will
come, but there is general feeling
of dread that it is coming some

Denies Mines to Shut Down.
NEW YORK, May r9 (P.-James
Walter Carter, president of the Car
ter Coal Co., which mines soft coal
near WEIGH, w. Va, said today a
statement attributed to General
Supt. G.. R. Jennings that operations
had been suspended indefinitely
was erroneous and unfortunate"
Nor was it true, Mr.. Carter said,
that dismissal notices had been dis
tributed to 5000 employees.
Because of the inactivity at the
mines due to the shutdown which
has been effective since April L.
Carter said. 1T has been necessary
for the company to shut down en-
tirely or partially some of its stores
and to curtail its Office and clerical
StaffS to some extent.
Consequently termination notices
have been served upon some of the
store and office employees, but none
of these has bsen workers who have
been involved in the mining suspen-
sion. The company has taken no
action whatsoever with respect to
the discharge of any of its mine
worker employees
