SUDDEN DEATH
OF LOU HEATH
SADDENS HULL
Lou" Heath died yesterday.

Lou" Heath died yesterday.
Washington newspaperdom and
diplomatic circles whispered those
words sadly today in shocked rev.
erence for one of the best known
and highly respected writer's In
the country.
Louis ]. Heath was 40. He sue
cumbed to a heart attack as he
slept at his home in the 1900 block
Of Biltmore st. N. w.
LATIN.AMERICAN EXPERT
For is years he had been as
signed to news coverage Of diplo-
matte matters and was specialist
in Latin-American diplomatic re-
porting. Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, aboard the S. S. Santa
Marie en- route to New York from
the Lima conference, one of the
first officials to be notified Of
Heath's death, said:
Il consider his conscientious
and construtive activity in pur.
suit of his newspaper duties,
particularly in the Latin-Amer.
lean field, has been an import
ant influence in developing and
maintaining friendship and CO
operation among all American
nations.
His loss will be felt not only
in Washington, but throughout
the hemisphere by his many
personal friends and all who ad-
mired an unswervingly courage
Gus reporter and gentleman"
MISSED TRIP
Heath was to have attended the
Lima conference but the illness
that brought his fatal attack pre-
vented fulfilment of that mission.
He was a personal friend Of every
Latin-American diplomat in the
Capital and his intimate knowl-
edge of the diplomatic problems
of Latin-America had made him
an invaluable member of the
United Press, in whose service he
had been since 1924.
Heath was widely known as a
journalist and philateliSt as well
as a diplomatic writer. He gradu-
ated at Harvard and taught as an
instructor in English at the Univer-
sites of Texas, Pittsburgh, Illinois
and the United States Naval
Academy. He wrote several books
and was frequent contributor to
magazines. His stamp collection
was one of the finest in the coun-
try.
SERVED MANY GROUPS
Although his work pressed
severely upon him, he gave much
of his time to the organization Of
the Washington Newspaper Guild
and served as one of its vice
presidents for three years. He
was a member Of the Senate
press gallery, the White House
Correspondents Association, the
State Department Correspondents
Association, the American Air
Mail Society, the washington Air
Mail Society and an honorary
member of the Reporters Associa-
ton, Of Havana, Cuba.
His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth
Heath of this city and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jay Heath, of Cort-
land, N. Y, his birthplace, survive.
Funeral services will be held to-
morrow in Cortland.

became assistant in the golf shop
From Bannockburn, JamiSon went
to Army and Navy as assistant to
Frank Hartig. Frank later sent
him out to the New York Avenue
Driving Range. A brief period at
the Georgia Avenue tee-em-up-and-
sock-em mart grooved his swing
with the moods. In 1884 Jam1son
went over to Kenwood, where he
served under, first, Al Houghton,

NO HEAD DIPPING
Today, at Indian Spring, Al is
the fortunate mentor of a course
so pleasingly laid out that quite
a few of the city's club members
take out dual memberships, at
their home club and at Indian
Spring, in order to gain practice
on wide, lavish green's.
In teaching his pupils how to
hit them off the tees, AL makes
two statements which may seem
startling to the average golf fan.
First he says, You don't have to
keep straight left arm on the
backswing." Which means that
some people find it awkward and
themselves getting tense when
they bring the left arm back like
ramrod. You may have to bend
it a little to accommodate it to
the contours of your body. If so,
o. K, then bend it little, but. and
this is very big but, the left must
be straight when the clubhead
comes in contact with the ball.
Another thing, Jamison says he
has had some pupils whom it does
no good to warn, Keep your head
down. Better advice, he believes,
is, Keep your head STILL" for most
any dub knows enough to watch
what he's hitting at. If that head
ducks down or swings from side

There was official silence on what

Germany would respect the status

of Tannenberg.

In his plea for approval Of the

this countrys own interests, but to
encourage world peace.
The administration program, the
Secretary said, lis not only best

The Hull statement was made at

vious it was directed as we'll TO the
Capitol. where a House coalition
of Republicans and Democrats had
ripped the administration measure
to pieces and approved an embargo
on arms sales to nations at war.
The present law includes a man.
datory embargo on sales Of arms,
ammunition and implements of war
to belligerents. Repeal Of this pro-
vision is the heart Of the admin
istration's neutrality program, but
the House voted Friday night for
an embargo on sales of arms and
munitions, merely striking out
implements of war"
Representative Vorys. Republican,
Of Ohio, who sponsored the amend
ment, explained he wanted to for
bid sales of ''lethal' weapons but
was willing to permit sales of air
planes, oil, copper and other prod
ucts which might be embargoed I'M

In some quarters Secretary Hulls
statement was interpreted as a
warning that failure to repeal the
embargo completely would encour-
age dissatisfied nations to agrees
sion, since the arms factories of this
country would be closed to their
victims.
Senator Pittman. chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee,
put this viewpoint in blunt Ian

Secretary Hull, but at the same
time he indicated a belief there

There Is no use In the Senate
taking any action that will not be
confirmed by the House" he said.
At the same time Senator Pittman,
processing not to know the meaning
OF the Houses action, said the
House-approved bill must be studied
carefully by the Senate committee,
which will meet Wednesday to take
up the neutrality legislation.

MANTEO, N. c.. July 1.-The
Oberammergau of North Carolina s
outer banks opened tonight before
an audience of $500 persons, most
of whom understood that they were
seeing one of the major community
enterprises of the South.
This is the performance through
the summer of the revised version of
Paul Green's Lost Colony" given
two years ago for the first time as
celebration of the 35Gth anniver-
sary of the establishment on Roa-
noke Island of English civilization
on the North American continent.
Seventy-flve thousand persons saw
the Green symphonic drama in
its first summer Continued by pub
lie demand last year, 100000 saw
re-enacted the story of the Ameri-
can colony which suffered heroically
and finally disappeared into air so
thin it never has been traced.
This summer, thanks to a COM
munity program many cities of a
quater of a million would hesitate
to undertake, 1t Is estimated that
at least $50 900 persons will come to
sparsely settled Roanoke Island to
see Green's play before September
4, when the production closes for
the year.
Through the effort of State SEN
ator D. B. Fearing and "a local
committee, this event intended as
a one-summer celebration has be-
come an annual commemoration of
the British colonists' tribulat lions
and will continue indefinitely.
The thousands tonight included
the Presidents wife, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt; Hall Roosevelt and many
other notables, and people from
more than half the States. The cast
of $50 included elements from dozens
