OMAHA, Sept. % (N.A.N.A0.-
Nebraska people are little less sure
that any form of neutrality legisla-
tion will keep them out of war than
are the men and women of the more
prosperous mountain States to the
west and north:
Strangely enough, drought and
grasshoppers have something to do
with this. Nebraska's short wheat
crop long ago was harvested and
sold; her corn is burned up, and she
will have little hay and grain to
feed her beef cattle and hogs. Since
she hasn't much to sell, "the subtle
bribery of war profits leaves many
of her farmers cold and suspicious.
At best, most of them will have to
wait full year to gain the much
needed benefits of a price rise.
This is the eighth consecutive
year we have had either whole or
a partial crop failure" a once-prom-
inent farmer in Central Nebraska
explained. We'll harvest less than
half normal corn crop, and every
thing else is in proportion. Many
of us are broke and discouraged.
There are thousands of farmers
right in this section of the country
who literally will have nothing to
sell this fall. Our only income is
what we get from the A. A. A. pro-
gram"
He shook his head rather wistfully
when he pointed out that in three
short and moving weeks corn had

advanced from IS cents to 50 cents,

ouV04AtCA AAO4AA ~ SSAAoo W w SSAAS',
wheat had shot up 20 cents and cat
tie and hogs had added from l to 3
cents pound. Neither he nor most
of his neighbors got one penny bene-
fit from this sensational rise in price.
They simply had nothing to sell.
Next Year Only Hope.
1.-The best we can hope for" he
went on, lis that this 'cash-and-
carry idea will hold up the prices
until next year-and then that the
good Lore will give us crop"
But this particular farmer, and
many others interviewed in motor
trip across this great State, made no
attempt to hide their gloomy skepti-
cism about the ability of any sort of
legislation to guarantee America
keeping aloof from the war. One
farmer said, II don't reckon WASH
ington can legislate absolute peace
any more than she can legislate
prosperity"
In the last 48 hours new element
has begun to creep into the con-
sciousness of these Independently
minded Nebraska citizens. Hate and
resentment against Hitler have sud-
denly turned into a very definite
fear. Russia's invasion of Poland
has hardened the sentimental and
emotional side and everywhere one
hears questionings about the chances
of France and England to stand
against a possible combination Of
Germany, Russia, Japan and Italy.

Things are moving too swiftly and

1t is impossible to say what more
we can do at this moment other
than to build the securest defenses
to safeguard our continent and our
institutions"
A Land Of Agriculture.
Nebraska has few interests outside
its farms and ranches. To tens Of
thousands of these men of the good
earth the depression has marched
hand in hand with unprecedented
years Of drought. The hope that
next year may bring them the mira

vague "cash-and-carry" neutrality

America out of war interests them,

the benefits of the boom are i'm

In some communities scattered
over this and adjacent States there
are important German groups. They
have no love for Hitler, but likewise
no sympathy for France or Eng

Y BowIers Capture

Loop Closes

Y. M. G. A. bowlers today were the
winners of the richest duckpin
league championship of metropoli-
tan Washington by virtue of a pen
nant victory in the Rosslyn Inde-
pendent League.
Eighteen teams in the strong 20
club suburban loop topped the "Y''
outfit in averages for the season,
but when 1t came to winning games
the new titleholders were the class.
Their prize is 5000.
Needing two games to clinch the
pennant, the "Y" team, led by
Story's 156-368, swept Smyser's
Pharmacy in the wind-up last night
to finish three games in front of
Arlington Cleaners, who won two
games from Clarendon Cleaners. A
roll-off to decide third place will be
staged Thursday night among Nc
Glincy's Market, Kidwell's Senators
and Arlington Trust.
Earl Donaldson of Dependable
Dyers and Cleaners was the stand
out bowler of the final night with q
season record game of lit, which
cracked Joe Callan's mark by one
stick.
Lou Jenkins of Quality Shop car
ried off the individual champion
ship with an average of 1888 for
ia games. His brilliant rolling
throughout the season, which in
cluded an all-time record set of 463
earned him the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress Medal. He gained
this award by being the most i'm
proved bowler in the loop. Last
season his average was 116. Ed
Nash was the runner-up with an
average of 121-48. The Senators
with 693 and Quality Shop with

makers.

British Seek Golf Pacl
To Strengthen Own
And j. :. Events
Would Swap in Sending
Teams to Amateur
Championships
BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sporta Writer.

HOYLAKE, England, May "a
The Royal and Ancient Golf Asso-
citation today was said to be con-
sidering scheme under which
Great Britain and the United States
would send teams to compete in
each others amateur golf cham
pionship every year.
The proposal is that the United
States Golf Association would
finance a team of four amateurs to
go to Britain each spring for the
British amateur and the Royal and
Ancient likewise would pay the way
of British team to the United
States amateur every fall.
See Increased Gate.
The supporters of the scheme be-
lieve this "internationalizing" of the
two tournaments not only would
help the standard of play In both
countries, but would be self-support-
ing.
Each golf association now sends
a team abroad every four years to
compete in the Walker Cup matches,
and it is pointed out here that the
amateur championships attract
much greater interest and take in
more money in the years when
there is an international field.
British golf writers generally IA
vor the scheme. They point out
that the United States and British
Lawn Tennis Associations pay the
expenses of teams going to the Brit
ish and United States champion
ships every year, and, they see no
objection to extending the idea to
golf.
Turnesa's Absence Disappoints.
There is general disappointment
over here that Willie Turnesa did
not come over for the British anna
teur. Supporters of the team
scheme suggest that the addition
of Turnesa, Johnny Fischer and
Johnny Goodman to this weeks field
would have turned the tournament
into real world championship.
Great Britain now has at least
four players capable Of winning the
