John Cudahy, the American am
bassador to Belgium, called Presi.
dent Roosevelt between $3.50 and
800 o'clock last night. The CHIEF
executive was at dinner and could
not be reached. Cudahy called
Brig. Gen. Edwin M. Watson, a
presidential secretary, instead.
He hit it exactly" Watson said
later. THE remarkable thing is
that he said it's going to be Bel
GUM, Holland and Luxembourg"
Watson told the President and
was instructed to get in touch at
once with Secretary Hull and I'm.
dersecretary Welles. In addition,
he called the Belgian ambassador.
He didn't know a thing about
it," Watson reported. "All he could
say was my God, my God.'"
General Watson's telephone calls
started an all-night vigil. Hull
was quickly at the White House,
and Welles, too. Then they re-
paired to the state department and,
as succeeding advices from the
Diplomatic corps and press dis
patches brought grim confirma-
ton of Cudahy's scoop, they and
other officials studied the effect of
the war upon the interests of the
United States.
The President talked with Sec.
rotary Morgenthau, too, and di.
rected him to freeze" the Belgian
and Dutch credits and assets, e.
fore the markets opened today.
This he later supplemented with a
formal executive order officially
safeguarding from German seizure.
By 2 o'clock, MI. Roosevelt had
talked twice with Cudahy and re-
ceived word that German planes
were already bombing an airport
near Brussels. And a little later

government that the United States
inform Germany that Brussels was

GREENSBORO, May 1o.-R-
The angular young man from Duke,

became even a greater favorite
today by turning in a record equal.

Alexander's 81, six strokes under
par, was the result of an outgoing
81 and an inward 33. He won three
points from Jack Jones, w. & L.,
and with teammate Tom Perry
got another three points when
they took the best-ball over Jones

If Alexander continues play like
he started out today, the other
boys will be resigned to shoot for
second place. Skip pared the first
two holes, canned a six foot putt
for a birdie two at the third, rolled
in a 20 footer FIR a birdie three at
the next and then picked up a
birdie 4 at the fifth when his six
foot putt Tipped for an eagle. He
dropped a Is footer at the 9th to
turn four under and at the 18th,
with three puts, he had his only
DOGGY, but settled down a string
of sub-par holes at the 18th, where
he dropped a 20 footer for a birdie,
and then canned a magnificent 30
foot putt for an eagle 3 on the
final holes for one of the finest
rounds Sedgefield has known.

United States Ambassador William
Phillips likewise found nothing to re.
commend that Americans quit Italy
for their safety. High fascists puz-
zled over probable effects of the re.
signation of Neville Chamberlain and
the succession of Winston Churchill
as prime minister of England.
Churchill enjoys a reputation here
for activity, but it was generally
agreed that no change in the status
quo in southeastern Europe was to
be anticipated for the moment, at
least.
Fascist opinion was divided be-
tween the idea that Churchill would
force a more vigorous prosecution of
the war and the opposite theory that
the democratic system could not pro
duce any government capable of
beating the German dictatorship to
the punch.
