In Meet This Week
BY the Associated Press.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, June 90
Virginia's leading amateur golfers
will gather here next week for what
promises to be one of the closest
State tournaments in recent history.
These are few facts which give
evidence of a nip-and- struggle
for the huge State Golf Association
Trophy:
Slender young Wynsol Spencer of
Newport News, the defending title
holder, has been beaten this season
in the Tidewater Amateur by Sam
Bates, Norfolk, who now is playing
sizzling game.
Jimmy Watts, Lynchburg attor-
ney, who won the championship
when the State tournament was
held on the Cascades course here
two years ago, indicated that he was
on his game this season by winning
low amateur honors in the recent
State open.
Richmond's Charley Kent, long
regarded as having one of the
soundest games in the State, has
won three Journeys in a row-the
Hermitage International, which in
cluded some OF Virginia's and Wash
ington's leading shotmakers; the
Richmond city meet and the Rich
mond Bar Association event.
Al Dollins of Covington has been
knocking at the State throne for
the last five years, and the noun
famous Cascades is his home lay
out.
More than 100 entries from all
sections of the State are expected
to compete.

Alien Registration,
Signed by Roosevelt,
Begins in 50 Days
President Urges All
To Cooperate for
Effective Results
BY the Associated Press.

by inc hSScCldteu rIcSb
President Roosevelt, terming it
measure for mutual protection Of
this country and loyal aliens who
are its guests" signed yesterday leg
islation requiring registration and
f1ngerprinting of all foreigners in
the United States.
In putting his signature to the bill
enacted by Congress as defense
against fifth column" activity, Mr..
Roosevelt said that it did not carry
ANY stigma or implication of hostil-
ity" toward aliens.
Urges Cooperation.
Urging cooperation of citizens and
non citizens alike, he declared, too,
that it would be unfortunate If
amy loyal aliens were subjected to
harassment,"
Meanwhile, in an address to the
National Police Academy, William
Green, A. F. L. president, urged that
Congress outlaw the Communist
party and the Nazi bund.
The big job of registering and
fingerprinting the estimated $780,
900 aliens in this country will be
carried out by the Justice and Post
Office departments under direction
of Solicitor General Francis Biddle.
The plans already have been
worked out by the two departments
in cooperation with the Census Bu-
reau. Mr.. Biddle had an opportunity
to talk them over with Mr.. Roosevelt
on cruise on the Potomac yester-
day afternoon.
Begins i'm 60 Days.
Under the law, registration of
aliens must begin within go days
and must be completed four months
later.
Mr.. Biddle said in an interview
that before actual registration there
would be an intensive education
campaign to acquaint the aliens
with what is demanded of them.
This will be carried out through
more than 1000 foreign language
newspapers, hundreds of other pub
locations, clubs, societies and
churches having aliens membership,
radio stations which broadcast in
foreign tongues and through English
speaking groups which have contact
with aliens.
Mr.. Biddle said that an appeal
probably would be made to service
groups such as the Lions, Rotary
and Kiwanis Clubs, Chambers of
Commerce and the American Le-
gion.
Post Offices to Aid.
Postmasters and their aides in
some As, 900 post Offices will regis
ter and flngerprint aliens. The Post
Office Department will make out the
registration cards and mail them to
the aliens, turning over the original
registration data to the immigra-
ton service for checking against the
lists of legally admitted aliens. The
flngerprint records will be turned
over to the Department of Justice
for classification and filing.
Mr.. Biddle said that fingerprint-
ing would not be entirely strange
to postmasters, since those in charge
of first and second class Offices now
f1ngerprint all of their employees.
Congress supplied $3,0O0,0O0 for
the registration job and $500,00O for
classifying and filing the finger
prints. These prints are to be kept
separately from others and will be
litsed in an alien noncriminal sec
ton.

The crowd of $500 fans attending
the National A. A. U. track and field
championships gave him rousing
ovation.
Veteran Glenn Cunningham, max
ing his final appearance of brilliant
foot-racing career, failed to achieve
an ambition, but in losing to WAL

forced the latter to a new American
record.
Close to Worlds Record.
Mehl broke the tape in 3 minutes
479 seconds. 1t was only one
tenth of a second lower than the
worlds record set in the 1886 Olym-
pic Games. He had shaken off two
bids for the lead by Paul Moore of
Stanford, but as the latter fell back,
Mehl put on a sprint that carried
him to victory.
John Munski of Columbia, Mo-,
ran fourth and Gene Venzke of the
New York A. A. was fifth.
Harold Davis of Salinas (Calif)
Junior College won the 100-meter
final in 1913 seconds.

tenth of second slower than the
worlds record set in 1896 by Jesse
Owens.

in 1886.
Wolcott Ties Record.
Wolcott later practically stole the
show with world record-tying VIC
tory in the 200-meter hurdles. His
clocking of 22.6 seconds equalled the
recognized record set in 1885.
Davis rang up an equally notable
double triumph by winning the
