He may not win the tournament.
but he should be top amateur. And
Jim Terrier won't be far away from
the winning spot at the finish late
today.
Terrier. the tall Australian Open
and Amateur champion, was play
ing today in the District Open cham

some 25 pros and amateurs were
competing for a substantial purse
and the title on which Witty Cox
has had a monopoly since 1887. WIFI
fly, of course. will be the gent to lick.
He is the defending champ, is play
ing over his own course and just
now is red hot. He whipped around
the par-72 layout in 81 whacks
couple of days ago, without really
trying, and he looms as the standout
in the affair.
Al Houghton won't be far away,
however. The Houghton man hasn't
been far off the pace in any tourna-
ment in this sector this year, and
he should be well up when the cash
is handed out this afternoon.
Terrier seems the best amateur
golfer TO appear around Washing
ton in many a monitor year. The
big Aussie. who stands 6 feet 4
inches, and hits the ball long way,
was paired in the tourney today
with Levi Yoder. who has been play
ing lately as a pro. 1t wouldn't be
too fantastic TO see Terrier win. He
led for three rounds in the Chicago
open championship and lost only by
an ordinary finish.
Indian Spring in Final.
A surprisingly strong Indian
Spring links team. fighting hard in
defense of its Maryland title, has
reached the final in the State team
championship and will meet Balti-
more Country Clubs strong aggrega-
ton next Sunday on neutral course
for the championship.
Indian Spring defeated Elkridge
at Eldkridge yesterday by a score of
10 TO ia, While Beaver Dam was
going down 10 deleat al tne nanQS
of Baltimore Country Club at Five

Early in the season Indian Spring
didn't seem to have much chance.
Riddled by designations from the
team which won the title last year
without being pressed the Four Cor
ners clubmen have come back strong
and today are favorites TO win again
Indian Spring scored four shutouts
yesterday, with Pro Mel Shorey and
Roger Peacock and Lou Harrison
and Bob Albertus winning points
each. The course over which the
final match will be played is TO be

Git already had one tie) when Con-
zaga won, 20-6. With that game
the Eagles proved their win the
previous week over Eastern was no
f1uke and they are beginning to
command real respect. Eastern
came back after that loss, though,
to down St. Johns, 1876, and re-
main a slight favorite to take the
east section crown again. Anacostia
hasn't played up to specifications
so far, having led Dewitt, TT, last
Friday, but the Indians can take
the crown by beating both Eastern
and Tech.
Rating the schoolboy gridders be-
comes increasingly tougher. Team
A has beaten team B, team B has
beaten team c and team c has
beaten team A. Thus several elevens
are rated below teams they have
beaten or tied, but these final place
ments were made on consideration
of current strengths as shown in the
last week or two and not entirely
on early-Season ShoWings.

Eastern Still Slender
Choice Over Tech
And Anacostia
End Of wills Streak
Places Western on
Top in Rankings
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Schoolboy football fans are looking
for real battle in the East Division
of the public high series as Eastern,
Tech and Anacostia get ready for
two weeks of strife among them
selves to decide which meets Western
for the city crown on November %.
A bit later than West Division
teams in playing series games, East
ern rates on top with two victories.
Tech has played only one game, a
tie with Central, while Anacostia
has won one and lost one.
The ratings are damned after
week end of upSetS and near upsets.
From the welter of games stands out
the fact that none of the Is high
school teams in this area remains
undefeated. Little Woodrow Wilson
down in Portsmouth took care of
Westinghouse, 90. ending IA
game winning streak extending over
two years. That defeat dropped the
Generals down to second place in
the ratings under Western.
Dateu ABOVE SOnQutTOTS-
While the Red Raiders lost one OF
their early games to the Generals
by 1-point margin they have been
going great guns since and with
three straight wins have clinched
the West Division title and have
scored the highest total of points in
this section, 60 They took their
division title by winning from Wood
row Wilson, TO. while Roosevelt was
handling Central. rs. It's game with
Western might be called a moral
victory for Wilson because on COM
parative scores the Raiders were 10
touchdowns or so better than the
Tigers.
Roosevelt's victory was a real up
set and put the Rough Riders on
the road to what may be their best
season in recent history. AS they
stand now, they are favored over
James Monroe, Wilson and GonZaga,
the three remaining schools on their
program, and five victories in one
season has been unheard of in Rider
history.

Back From War Zone

Refusing to give up q 'ringside

decided, Mrs. Blanche Preston
Marshall, 72-year-old mother of
George Marshall, owner of the
Washington Redskins. is back in the
Capital unaffected by adventures
that would have been narrowing to
persons many years her junior.
The last two months of the year
she spent in France were especially
exciting, Mrs. Marshall said today
at the Wardman Park Hotel in re-
calling how she was forced to flee
from Nice TO Cannes, to Marseille,
and last to Lisbon, where she caught
the liner Manhattan.
She lost all her baggage, and was
down to a nickel" 30 she came
home "steerage," with the State De-
partment advancing the funds for
her passage
Mrs. Marshall was in Bordeaux
when Na1 troops marched in. Prac-
tically every French city and town
she was in experienced blackouts
at one time another. At one place,
she said, food was plentiful and
good; at another it was scarce and
bad. For two weeks her diet-of
necessity-waS tea and biscuits.
France, Mrs. Marshall believes,
will live again-because there are
no women on earth like the French. 4"
AS for the United States going to
Britain's aid, she is in favor of
letting them Germany and
BRITAIN beat each other"

Air Mail Carriers Ask
Excess Profits Tax
Exemption Be Allowed
Coins Are Controlled
By Law Anyway,
Executive Asserts
BY the Associated Press.


The Nations airmail carriers urged
Congress today to exempt them from
the proposed excess profits tax on
the ground that they were vital to
national defense" and that their
profits were controlled by Federal
law.
Col. Edgar S. Gorrell of Chicago.
president of the Air Transport ASso-
citation of America, declared there
is no excess in the air carrier in
dustry" because the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority can fluctuate the
rates for airmail carrying according
to company's earnings. He ap-
peared at q joint hearing OF the
House Ways and Means and Sem
ate Finance Committees on the pro-
posed tax.
Under the Civil Aeronautics Act,
Col Gorrell said these carriers
profits can be no greater than the
needs of the carrier in the public
interest"
He added that the air carriers were
part of the national defense setup
and that nothing should be done to
impair their efficiency.
Should the committees not see Mt
to exempt those air carriers whose
profits are regulated by c. A. A,
Col. Gorrell proposed these changes
in the suggested profits tax legisla-
ton:
Exclude losses incurred during the
1936-1939 base period in figuring
the tax.
Count 100 per cent of borrowed
money as invested capital" in COM
putting the tax. when the borrowings
are devoted to matters of public
interest" such as a new equipment
program for the airlines.

climax late yesterday. when he in
terrupted conference with former
President Hoover to greet Elliott
Roosevelt, second son of his presi-
Dental rival.
The unexpected set of circum-
stances that brought Mr. Hoover
and President Roosevelt's son into
the Willkie hotel suite at the same
time was still the chief topic of
conversation at this mountain re-
sort today.
Mr.. Hoovers visit was scheduled.

To Boost Recruiting
Automobile Stickers
Also Will Be Used in
Intensive Drive

The War Department now has
under way a new poster campaign
calling for additional recruits for
the Army. The Sd Corps Area. which
includes Washington, has been
allocated 10000 special posters to be
displayed on automobile bumpers.
Over the week end number of
these posters appeared here, mainly
on taxicabs.
Distribution, it was said, is being
made through the local recruiting
Office at 631 Pennsylvania avenue
NV. In addition, as part Of the
drive, series of small stickers for
automobile windows and windshields
is being printed for distribution.

urday and six offers from major ad-
vertising agencies we're received.
The program will be national in
scope under present plans and will
include an expenditure of $4,000
a month for five months.
The intensiflcation of the drive,
1t was explained, was not because
of any lag in recruiting. but the
result of a desire for acceleration
and greater speed in getting men
into uniform for training periods.
The latest figure shows that at
the end of last month 270,1o3 men
had been received AS of August
8. it is estimated that 275.1S3 re-
cruits have been taken into the
Army.
The War Department is moving
more slowly in its recruiting pro-
gram for the Air Corps. it was said,
because it is desirable to &C
cumulate personnel only as fast as
material is made available for their
use. In all, 10000 men are ex-
pected to join the Air Corps.

New Plane Detector
Used for First Time
In Army Maneuvers
District Guard Unit,
In New Comp, Gets
boy OFF After Trip
BY ROBERT A. ERWIN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

RENSSELAER, FALLS, N. Y, Aug
12-Army aviation went into action
this morning for an air warning ex-
ercise that brought the new secret
airplane detector into action for the
| first time in Army maneuvers.
The 260th Coast Artillery. anti
aircraft regiment of the District Ma
tional Guard based at Richville as
part of a Regular Army and Guard
brigade, took no part, however. as
pursuit planes and bombers zoomed
overhead.
The exercise covered a vast area
in Northern New York. from Lake
Ontario on the west to Lake Cham
Isplain 0i the east, and from the Mo-
hawk River on the south to the st.
| Lawrence River on the north.
1t brought into service 2,776 civil
ian volunteer observers 1T 347 anti-
| aircraft warning stations and 46
fire towers to detect the northvard
flight Of 40 general headquarters
air force pursuit ships from the air
ports at Utica and Syracuse.
| The secret detector unit reported
directly by telephone from the base
of the LIST Aircraft Warning Co. at
Heuvelton, Sd Corps Area Head
quarters. to the LIST Army air defense
at WATERFOWL on Lake Ontario,
more than so miles away.
AS the Army pursuit planes sped
northward, six enemy" bombers
that had taken off previously from
Mitchell Field and Langley Field
came in to meet them.
Original In Two Respects.
The pursuits left their bases with
out orders as to where they were
| going and awaited further word over
their radio receiving sets while in
the air.
The system employed today was
original in two respects. The de-
tense command acted on its own
initiative in order to achieve greater
speed, and the enemy" bombers in
tercepted the pursuits by flying to-
ward them. In England. as one
Army of1icer explained, pursuit avia-
ton is held on the ground until the
super center sends them into the
air.
During the two-hour test begin
ming at 10 am, lis independent
telephone companies co-operated
with the New York Telephone Co.
in giving incoming calls from civil
ian observers priority over all other
telephone messages except those
vitality concerned with life, death,
police or fire.
