WAN HORN RATED
 REAL THREAT TO FRANK PARKER
Los Angeles Machine Gun Kid' New Net Sensa-
 ton at Rye
By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Rye, N. r., Aug. 11-(UP)-- Frankie Parker, one of the outstand- ing candidates for a Davis cup sim gles job with Uncle Sam in Septem- Der, faced a genuine "test of fire" to- day against Welby Van Horn, the machine gun kid from Los Angeles, in the semi-finals of the eastern grass courts championships.
 Parker, of Pasadena, Cal, was forced to the limit yesterday to win a three-set thriller from veteran John Hope Doeg who had Frankie at match point four times in the final set. Today Frankie stacked up against an IS year old high school grad who is 8 fieet-footed, hard hitting "volleyin' fool"
 Van Horn, sensation of the cur- rent tourney, has knocked of Frank Guernsey of Orlanto, Fla, national intercollegiate champ; Sidney B. Wood, veteran internationalist, and Gil Hunt, the nations ninth rank ing player. Wood and Hunt were seeded players.
 Parker was favored because of his well-rounded game and greater ex- perience, but the experts admitted that anything might happen. Hence it was the days feature match, al- though the women's singles semi finals boasted two international en- counters. Only Parker and Van Horn were playing today in the mems singles, the other semi-final between Bobby Riggs and Ladislav Hecht being slated for tomorrow.
 Alice Marble of Beverly Hills, Cal, the Wimbledon, national and defend- ing champion, was expected to win with comparative ease over Mime. Rene Mathieu of France. Miss Mar ble, shapely blond queen of the courts, is at the peak of her game, while the years seem to be catching up with the French veteran, despite her three-set victory yesterday over Dorothy Workman of Los Angeles, seeded No. 4.
 Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline, Mass, No. 3, had 8 stiffer battle in prospect with pretty Kath- erine Stammers, ace of the British Wightman cup team. Yesterday Miss Stammers put out Dorothy Bundy of Santa Monica, Cal, No. 3, in three sets.
 Both semi-finals in the women's doubles were slated. In the upper bracket, Helen Jacobs and Dorothy Workman engaged Dorothy Bundy and Mary Arnold of Los Angeles. The lower bracket matched Miss Marble and Mrs. Fabyan, Wimble- don and national champions against Dorothy Andrus, Stamford, Conn.,, and Mime. Sylva Henrotin, France.
 In the mems doubles. three third round encounters complete the semi final bracket. The matches were: Riggs and Elwood Cooke of Port land, Ore, vs. Chester and William Murphy of Chicago; Parker and Don McNeill, Oklahoma City, vs. Gene Moka, Los Angeles, and Gardnar Mulloy, Miami, Fla, and Robert Pea cock, Laguna Beach, Cal. and Doug lfas Imhoff, Long Beach Cal. vs. Charles Hare England and Ladislav Hecht, Czechoslovakia.

north ever since the last Of April
and wish to know if would be
using good judgment TO return to
the south this winter?
Ans: - Make arrangements TO
leave the north around the hrst OF
November. Each winter you try to

III mind care anything at all for
me?
Ans:--He thinks you're swell. but
he isn't ready to marry you by any

shrewd handling TO change the mind
of the tall fellow?
A.H.--If do work around this
town viii the company that used
to work for pay me if they lind it
out?

to go back 10 work and stop the com
pensation as soon as you are able.

INQUIRIES REVEAL. CHANGE IN FEELING

As matter of fact, one of the primary reasons for the recent con- ference on travel to Latin America was this submarine scare There was good deal of sentiment at the conference in favor of Q direct, behind-the-sceneS appeal to the White House for a public pro- nouncement that travel to Latin America is perfectly safe. So far, nothing has come of 1t.
 The official of one travel agency here sayS that the change in pub lie feeling is evident in the types of queries that are received. Ordi- aarily, q customer of this agency comes in at this time of year and says, well, I want to take a southern cruise this winter; what have you got?" Now he says, "Hmmm do you think l ought to take a southern cruise this year2"
 What makes the steamship peo- pie sorest about the whole thing IS the fact that nobody here be- lieves that passenger vessels in the Caribbean, plying between United States and Latin American or insular ports are in the slight est danger.
 There is a good deal of skepti- cism about the presence of any submarines in those waters, and a firm conviction that they would not bother cruise ships even if they were there.

flash to start the new blockade, and a decrease in the number of reports of allied and neutral merchantmen victims indicated that an answer might have been found to the Ger man magnetic mine, Britain an- nounced series of naval successes
 British Naval Successes
 First, t was asserted that royal air force planes had made a bomb- ing attack on a German warship squadron near the big German Hell goland naval base, off the German North Sea coast It was reported that one German cruiser was struck direct and that other warships, in- cluding second cruiser and several destroyers, probably had been dam aged. One German pursuit plane was shot down, 1t was asserted of- ficially, and all British planes re- turned safe to base.
 Secondly, a series of official an- nouncements indicated that five and perhaps six German submarines had been sunk in recent days, Crews Of two of them were landed at British ports.
 Official announcements and un- official reports said that the British bombing planes which attacked the Helgoland fleet took photographs which indicated not only that one German cruiser was hit direct but that others were struck. Two Ger man cruisers were lying close to a flotilla of six or seven destroyers, It was said. The British flight leader saw the ships through a gap in the clouds. Ills order to attack was fol- lowed by blast of German anti aircraft gun fire, 1t was said. As the British planes dropped their bombs one of the planes fell out of forma- tion. But 1t regained altitude, 1t was said, and returned with the rest. The German plane which was shot down 1t was said. was a Messerschm.dt and the only German plane that went up to challenge the bombers.
 Victories Of Allies
 ]. The air ministry said that a coastal reconnaissance plane sank a submarine 150 miles out in the
