Riggs Pushed To Win
Over Reedy In Tourney

CHICAGO, June 1s.-(P-Bobby
Riggs, ruler of American tennis
since Don Bulge turned pro, look
ed like anything but the national
champion today in the second round
of the National Clay Courts tourna-
ment.
The little Chicago star bungled his
way through a five-set battle with
William Reedy of Los Angeles be-
fore finally winning by 3-6, 70, 81,
6-3, 6-2. Reedy played steady tennis
and took advantage of Riggs errors
in the first two sets.
All tn seeded Americans who
played today survived, but two of
the three English entrants fell by
the wayside.

a three-year program, he said, the
government can guarantee a price
range of between Is and Is cents
In a unanimously adopted reso'
luton, the tobacco men, merch'
ants and bankers pointed out thai
a three-year plan would cause the
trade to be more likely to offer
reasonable prices; the government
could give maximum support for
export grades, which now have
practically no markets; norma
credit could be more intelligently
extended, assuring growers fnan'
cial aid necessary to production;
and growers could m a their
plans without fear of drastic
change from year to year.
Hutson pointed out that probable
world consumption of the 1910 crof
would be between 600, 000, 900 and
700, 600, 900 pounds, depending upon
current events. OF this amount, nc
said, domestic consumption will
absorb about 400, 900, 900 pounds

such vessels.
Other New Types
The other new types would be a
heavy cruiser of about $4,000 tons,
carrying 11-inch guns and strong
armor, and capable of making
swift journeys to any trouble spot
in the South Atlantic.
Stressing that the idea of uni
versal training was still in the
study stage, President Roosevelt
said he might have something to
say to congress on the matter in
three, four or six weeks, if the
legislators were still in session.
He did not say whether the plan
contemplated calling up all young
men in certain age groups at the
very start, or whether it would
be put into effect more gradually.
But he did assert that he felt
some sort of training, involving
a measure of discipline, ultimately
should be provided for every boy.
The chief executive said he had
spoken hastily when he recently
praised a newspaper editorial rec
ommending universal military
training. He was thinking, he ex-
planned, of military training in the
broad sense, training of men who
would be in uniform fighting, in
uniform behind the lines, in fac
tories and munitions plants and
those maintaining a certain neces-
sary conservation of resources.
200 Combat Ships
The 81, 900, 600, 900 naval program,
which would take seven years to
complete, would authorize the navy
to build 200 combat ships, raising
the total to 1888. Stark said that if
congress approved the authorize
ton legislation, he would ask a
SITS, 600, 900 appropriation immedi'
ately to start work on the program.
The proposal was submitted as
a substitute for a / 200, 600, 900 ma
val expansion bill introduced in
congress only yesterday by Sena-
tor Walsh D-Mass) and Rep. Vim
son D-Ga), respective chairmen
of the senate and house naval COM
mittees.
Testifying publicly after a closed
session of the house committee,
Stark said in response to a ques-
ton by Chairman Vinson that in
view of world conditions he con
sidered the plan "essential'' to the
defense of this country, its posses
sions and the Monroe doctrine.
Stark did not break down his
proposal in terms of ships, but
said that it would virtually double
the navy's present authorized ton
mage. That tonnage he placed at
about 1,724, 480. His plan, he said,
would add about 1880, 600 tons. l

two uniforms a year.
Prior to the depression the rate
of pay was: Captains, $138; lieu
tenants, $135 and privates $l25 per
month, or $87, 600 a year. .
The raises requested would boost
the salaries above the maximum
paid prior to the depression, it
was pointed out, the increase being
asked in view of the contribution
these men have made In aiding
the city to balance its budget"
during the depression years.
It was also pointed out that

them as representatives of the
Firefighters local pointed out that
Since. Mr.. Cooper became mayor
working conditions have been
much improved and we don't think
that any of the men are dissatisfied
as far as working conditions are
concerned"
After the firemen retired tn e
street department employees, tt g
majority of which r represented
by the Teamster and Chauffeurs
local No. 391, appeared to ask
through Kornegay and Gore that
they be given a pay raise.
R. c. Weigle, business agent
for the local, pointed out that in
1881 workers in the department re-
ceived a drastic reduction in
wages" A master mechanic, h e
pointed out for example, who pre-
viously made $42.50 a week was
cut to $50, was subsequently given
a $3.50 a week raise, making his
pay now $3.50 a week.
Truck drivers who formerly
made $21.6O a week were cut $685.,
later were give an 1925 raise and
now draw $3.50, he said.
In 1881, he said, the payroll Of
the department was ST., $50 and to-
day, with two additional carpenters
who draw $25 a week, it is only
$50, 900 a year.
He asked that the workers in
the department be given a COM
plete restoration of pay and that

classified as truck drivers but as
skilled operators and be given $50
a week and the operator of the

This, he said, would raise the
salary item in the budget to $4,000
He said also the men feel truck
drivers should receive $24 a weel
and truck drivers helpers $21.6|
a week.

Explaining the control sytem.
Hutson said that if the three-year
plan was adopted, nc farmers quo
ia in any year might be cut by
more than 10 per cent OF his 1910
quota. For instance, if a farmer
has a 20-acre allotment this year,
he may not be cut under ID acres
in either of the two subsequent
years.
On the other hand, Hutson went
on, there is no ceiling OF quotas,
and if demand develops. quotas
can be raised as high as needed.
THE present muddled situation"
he explained, will not be cleared
up this year even should the war
stop today. New taxes imposed on
tobacco in foreign countries will
have to continue to aid in meeting
the revenues needed for fighting"

Great Celebration
It had been for Munich's citizens
such a day Of celebration and hero
worship as they had not seen since
September, 1888, when Hitler and
Mussolini looked acros the same
table at Edouard Daladier and Ne

which they have been engaged.

general headquarters Of his plung-
ing army in the west.
While Premier Musolini entered
the city wearing his accustomed
expression of determination, Hitler
smiled broadly as standing in his
car, he took the salutes of the
shouting people.
1t was the hour of the greatest
triumph of all his career as a
Nazi-a career that II years ago
in this very city landed him in
Jail after an unsuccessful putch.
1t was a Jail in which he wrote
part of his foreshadowing "Mein
Kampf."
1t was here, too, that a beer
cellar explosion left him alive last
November-with a margin OF a
few minutes.
He entered this morning in a
train guarded by four maneuver-
ing planes. Schools were closed:
streets echoed the heils of exult-
ing thousands; men Of the party,
young and old, formed on the side

Thousands of troops stood in sol
i'd rows upon the streets. Men and
women marched singing about the
city.
Mussolini arrived three h
later, at 3 pm. g pm. EST.
With the manner of an old friend
Hitler met him at the railway
station.

 Fire Disappears
 Just then Eric noticed some thing queer. The wall of fire had disappeared. Only q circle of black ccals showed where the wall had been. He leaped down and picked up one coal and threw it to his new friend. But as the coal flew through the air it burst into flame again. It fell to the ground and another wall of flame leaped up.
 Eric and his new friend watched in astonishment.
 Gracious" laughed Eric. I'm glad you didn't catch that coal. But I wish the flames would die down. I don't quite like to leave a fire here
 As he spoke the flames fell to earth and there was just a circle of black coals on the ground.
 Well, said Eric. This looks like something we can use. l shall take one of these coals with me" He put one carefully into his sad dle bag, and then mounted his horse again, and the two young men flew through the air to the Iron Mountain.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
, uandsome Prince Is Released

Fries horse turned his head toward the North He flew through the blue sky, dipped down through pink clouds, and then he flew into great, gray clouds. Lightning pierced the clouds around them. Three times the lightning singed the wings of Fries horse.
 Soon the horse could scarcely lift his wings. He began to float toward the earth. But instead of fields below there was the angry ocean.
 Erie quickly pulled out his sea shell. It flew from his hand to the water and became a fine white boat Eric and his horse settled down on it's deck and it sped through the dark grey storm until they saw ahead huge, cone-like mountain rising straight out of the sea.
 On it's top was a circle of flame reaching into the sky. The sea shell stopped at the mountains side and Eric whispered to his horse Now fly up over those flames and drop me inside the cir cle."
 The horse rose through the air He circled the flames on the noun- tain top and Eric could see below that the top was like a platform. In the center stood great stone table and on it lay great, black heart. Beside the table sat an ugly troll with long yellow teeth.
 Whole Mountain Shakes
 Fries horse dropped down be- side the table. In a twinkling Eric had drawn his bow and shot an arrow straight into the great black heart. As he did it there was an ear-splitting clap Of thunder The mountain shook like a leaf in a storm for a full five minutes. And then there was dead silence.
 In place of the troll stood a handsome young man who bowed to Erie and said. At last some one has set me free The giant is dead. My kingdow is yours, If I still have one. I have been here a hundred years"
 Eric laughed, No, keep the king dom. But ride with me and we will go to the castle of the good, gray Queen
 That I should like to do some day" said the young man But I must hasten to my own kingdom and find my two brothers. They were turned into trolls"
 .'Trolls?" said Eric. Could they have been those that guarded the castle behind the East Wind and the Iron Mountain?"
 q don't know" said the young man. But we three were princes was the oldest We were taken prisoner by the giant without a heart because we tried to shoot him one day He had killed the most beautiful nightingale tn sang every evening outside our mothers window
 Eric thought as the young man spoke. He knew he must hurry tc return to Santa before Christmas Eve But he also wanted to helr the young man. Finally he said Come, I will help you find you

It was the first game for the locals this season as a team which expects to be one of the main contenders for the Channel championship later on. Gordon Mills, formerly of the Foun- dry team was high scorer with l3 points for the Eagles and K. Woods for the Elks tallied II points. In the opener Douglas high school won from the Juneau De- Molay team by 9 points. Their game differed from the main event by less than half the total scoring. Substitutions on both sides were equally tried with little change in results. Gordon Wahto was high pointer for the school lads while Hickey and Nelson tied for each for the visitors.
