COALIE NEEDED BY
 NEW YORK AMERKS
(By United Press)

The New York American tried to beg, borrow or steal a goalie today to replace Earl Robertson who will be unable to play in the Stanley cup playoffs because of severely injured thigh.
 Robertson was hurt last night as the Amerks were, buried 11-5 by their intra-city rivals, the Rangers. The total 16 goals in one game was a new high for the season, and sec- ond only in modern annals to the l8 piled up in Maroon Canadien game last year. Seven of the Ranger goals came in the last period against relief goalie Roger Jenkins.
 In the only other game last night, the Montreal Canadiens, who al- ready had clinched the last play off place, outclassed the tail-end Chicago Black Hawks, 5-1. Toe Blake, in the race for league SCOT ing honors, hit the wicket twice for Montreal.

New York, July 2e.-The world OF

of life on the Cherokee Reservation
in North Carolina.
That's why Paul Lambert, mem
ber of the Cherokee tribe, and one
of the attendants at the North Caro-
lima Exhibit at the Worlds Fair, beg
ged brief leave. of absence the other
day. Lambert, who is called "chief'
by his, fellow attendants, had been
squintihg, at the summer sky and
restlessly pacing the exhibit for some
days.
When he came back to work last
week, it was learned that he had ar

vious Tuesday forming at 7 o'clock
climbed aboard nis tractor, and work
ed his corn crop IA hours a day until

United Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers union; r. ]. Thomas, head OF
CLOS United Auto Workers union,
and Dalrymple, president OF the Unit

''The aim,'' John L. Lewis said,
"will be to organize all construc-

many evils and abuses that have be-
set the industry in the past and i'm
prove wages and working conditions

Special provisions will be made
by the committee for the elimination

Lewis estimated that out of the g.
100000 workers in the construction
industry, less than oAc-t'lird had
been organized by the AFL.
His invasion of the construction
field was regarded as highly sig
nificant since some of his strongest
opponents within the AFL are the
leaders of the building trades unions.

WASHINGTON
JOTTINGs
BY
Edward Corneaby

shall the Congress have control over
foreign policy by writing into law just
how far the President can go and no
farther, or shall it change the present
law setting out very general broad
standards and allowing the President
to do as he thinks proper in the cir
cumstances. Before this is settled it
will be midsummer and the American
people are going to witness as pretty a
cat and dog fight as it has seen in a
long time.
The presidents request to Congress
last week for $1,762,4 100000 for all re-
lief purposes for the year which begins
July /, 1910, is going to run into
trouble before Congress gives the
money or even permits it to be handled
the way it has been.....
The Presidents first Reorganization
plan, which would place WPA into a
new agency into which also be trans
fered Social Security, National Youth
administration, the Employment Ser
vice and several other setups, would
not modify the present relief setup
There is little doubt that the Reorgani-
cation plan will meet congressional ap-
provai but that is a separate problem
from relief. .......
The economy bloc is going to op-
pose the amount of funds asked by
the President. Despite the fact that
the Administration has reduced the
WPA total one-third below this years
figure ($423,OO0,OOO) these members
are afraid that next winter an emer-
gency request for more money will be
made. They want to cut now so that
even if more funds become necessary
the total will still be below present
expenditures. There will be very little
opposition to the Presidents request
for $123,OO0000 each for the National
Youth Administration and the Farm
Security Administration, programs de-
signed to help high school and college
students and struggling farmers re-
spectively. ....
| The biggest fight will come over {
desire to change the existing relief set
up. A Southern economy" bloc wants
relief shifted to public works, wants
to eliminate all white collar" relic
projects such as writing and theateI
work, wants relief decentralized from
Washington to the States with thu
states bearing a learger share of TIL
cost. =. This program will be bitterl,
opposed by the President. 80.

WASHINGTON JoTT1NGs
(Corneaby)

A lot of people in Washington lost
several hours of valuable sleep the
morning of April %. Most of the big
wigs In official life and the diplomatic
set sat huddled around their radios
that morning to listen to Adolf Hitler
EVEN though lot of them can't un-
derstand German. .. He undoubtedly
commanded the largest listening aud
fence in the history of the world.
Even a half dozen senators and con,
gresham, many of them members o.
the Foreign Relations Committees, sal
huddled around a big receiving set in
one of the major broadcasting stations
looking wise as they listened to the
rush of words from the German fuehr-
er-but only one of them could under
stand what he was saying. That did
MT stop them from commenting on the
speech, however. One thing about a
statesman-he is always ready to give
his opinion on anything -.
The Hitler speech brought into
sharp focus the ever-present American
neutrality problem. The isolationis
bloc, mostly from the midwest, were
more confirmed than ever in their be
lief, that this country must keep it
NOSE out of foreign affairs. There is
a lot of ill-concealed impotence in
Washington with the Administration
tactics. Those who oppose vigorously
giving the President any further
authority to deal with foreign affairs
as he may want, declare that already
this country has left neutral position
that every action taken in the las
three months parallels the days O
early 1916 and 1917 binding us closer
to England and France. They asser
that we are being dragged down the
road to war. go.
But there is in both houses of Con
gress an equally powerful group, anx
ious to back up the President. They
believe that Americas self-interest de
mands that we support the so-callee
democracies. Let by Senator Pittman
they want the present Neutrality Ac
changed so that the President will b
given a free rein in dealing with
foreign countries.
The fight between the two groups
stripped of all of its legal language
SINNERS down to one basic point
