Genial Bannockburn
Will Renew 4-BaII
Golf Tournament
Owner to Present Club
With Equipment to
Iron Out Course

Bannockburn Golf and Country
Club, successor to the Capital Golf
and Country Club, again will hold
q best-ball invitation tournament in
1941, similar In every respect to the
tourney held this year.
Resumption of annual invitation
affair is one Of the features of the
new setup at Bannockburn an
nounced by Roy K. Aten, president
of the club. A dozen years ago the
invitation events of the old Bannock-
burn club, which was succeeded by
Capital in 1887, were milestones Of
the tournament season around
washington annually.
The complete picture of the new
Bannockburn will be known late in
November when the clubs holds its
annual meeting to elect officers,
committee chairmen and go over
final details in complete club re-
organization.
Suffered i'm Good Humor.
Bannockburn, of course, Is not the
same organization of 1912. when DR..
T. J. w. Brown, John T. Harris,
Lee Crandall, Daniel L. Hazard and
many others decided their old
course at Chevy Chase Circle was
getting too crowded, and they
moved over to a new location on
the hills above Glen Echo. The
first course was nine-hole affair.
About IA years ago it was length
ened to l8 holes. Today few OF
the original members remain.
But Bannockburn today has the
same spirit. Money was none too
plentiful. the course was rough. and
frosts and rains washed out pebbles
from the hillsides in those early
days. 1t became the voluntary duty
of the pioneers of the old club to
organize themselves into a stone
picking crew. They joked about it,
but it was a good waist reducer
BY the time a middle-aged gent had
picked up 200 pounds of stones,
walked those hills and hit a golf
ball go times or more he had good
workout
Club Morale Excellent.
1t was all part of the Bannock-
burn spirit which exists today. For
sheer club spirit those Bannockburn
men and women take odds from no
member of country club whose
trimmings may be more elaborate.
John j. SINNERS, owner Of the
property. is going to give Bsnnock-
burn the equipment needed to
straighten out the hills and valleys,
provide those fairways with a thick
carpet of grass and otherwise make
the course, to quote Aten, lone OF
the best in this section" How can
Bannockburn miss?

Louis Enjoys Politics,
But Not With Owens
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (N.ANA).-
Your correspondents deepest regret
in this election campaign Is that
the proposed debate between Joe
Louis, the Republican statesman,
and Jesse Owens, the rock of De-
mecracy, failed to come off.
This would have been the most
sensational platform fight in Amer
ican politics since Lincoln and
Douglas. Mr.. Louis undoubtedly is
the toughest Republican at large
and Mr.. Owens is the fastest Dem
ocrat.
The challenge. hurled by Mr..
Owens. was rejected by Mr. Louis.
u amt got nothing against jesse"
said Joseph calmly.
:"Joe outweighs Owens by 40
pounds" said Mr.. Jack Blackburn,
hts trainer. 1T wouldn't be no
match. We will wait till Billy Conn
gets a little fatter and take him
instead"
Mr.. Owens, the Democratic orator,
was indignant at this reply. He
pointed out that the Louis stable
seemed to be under a slight misap-
prehension.
II don't want to fight joe" he
explained. IT just want to expose
his political ignorance"

mo, they're right. all right" said
Mr.. Louis firmly. And then, take
the N. r. A"
Lets take it later on" said Mr..
Martin hastily. Right now you've
got some other calls to make"
That was exactly what Mr.. Louis
thought. He had a call to make at
restaurant. 1t was getting near
lunch time. However, owing to an
oversight at headquarters, there
were no restaurants on Joe's itin-
erary. BY 3 pm. this splendid
trencherman had lost most of his
interest in politics and was casting
wolflike glances at every chow dog
and Pekingese that passed by.
Our next call is at the Daughters
Of Will Arise" said the guide.
And then we eat?" said the cam
paigner.
NO" said the guide. Then we
visit the Loyal Sons of Never More"
"Oh," said Mr. Louis bleakly.
Pretty soon the campaign took
him to the bedside of the Negro
policeman who is said to have been
one of three constables allegedly
assaulted by Steve Early, the Presi-
dents secretary. Though still
hungry Mr.. Louis managed to muster
up word of sympathy.
Leaders Are Cautious
In Hondling Louis
Il feel sorry for you," said Joe,
"but after we all vote for Willkie
you will not get kicked any more. I"
.'"Well, that's very nice of you"
said the policeman, embarrassed,
"but personally, I am voting for
Roosevelt"
"Oh," said Mr. Louis.
BY 6 pm. Joe had turned prac-
tically white with starvation and
was confning his campaign speeches
to short, significant grunts. At 7
pm. he sat down to his first meal
since breakfast. I will spare you
the complete box score, but the
havoc was fearful.
!. Since then party leaders have kept
very close watch on Joes CAM
paign. And so has Jesse Owens, the
rock of Democracy, from his obser-
vstion post in Cleveland.
'"Joe Is nice fellow" says Mr..
Owens. "but he doesn't know the
issues"
1t would have been a great de-
bate.

Joe's Political Arguments
Emborross Party Leaders

my political ignorance is just as
good as Owens" said Mr., Louis
coldly, Il yield to no man in that
respect"
With these words the heavy
weight champion indicated that the
matter was closed and went about
his business of campaigning for
Willkie, much to the embarrass-
ment of the Republican leaders,
who do not know exactly what to
make of Joe's campaign.
Recently the Bomber has been
stumping Harlem. On the first day
of his crusade, he began by giving
a mass interview to political re-
porters, under the direction of Mr.
Joe Martin, the party chairman.
Mr.. Louis had some good stuff up
his sleeve, facts absolutely unknown
to Mr.. Martin. In fact, the more
Mr.. Martin heard of them the less
he wanted to know.
Keeling off statistics at q rapid
rate, Mr. Louis took the position
that all the good janitors' jobs now
are held by white men, leaving his
own people free to pursue their
hobbies on relief
II think those figures are a little
wrong, joe" said Mr.. Martin un-
easily.

Even so, 1t is doubtful if a balance can be reached, but there is every reason to try for such goal.
 The second thing that Congress must do is to face the issue of how to pay for the defense program Its choice lies between taxation and borrowing, or some combination of loans and taxes. The great danger is that no adequate consideration will be given to the possibility of putting the defense cost on cash, pay-as- you-go basis, with the result that much, of the money to pay for it, will be borrowed. The reason for such an outcome will be the unwillingness of Congress and the people to depart from the conventional pattern of federal taxation. Unless forced to do otherwise, they will fiddle around with the income tax, the excise taxes, and perhaps the estate tax. The outcome will be another billion or so in revenue, when seven or eight times as much is needed. So the people will be told, as they were in the last war, that loans are necessary because taxation will not produce as much as is needed.
 There is a tax that will provide revenue enough to pay cash for de- fense. That tax will be described in a later article. The method of bor- rowing, if we are weak enough and foolish enough to use it, will inevita- bly, carry the country toward na- tional bankruptcy, and bankruptcy

If you wish to rate high on that certain girls list keep an eye open tor Perfume -Vanistick, something original in perfumes. It is perfume imprisoned in lipstick form.
 She will like it for its conven- 1ence as well as for it's fine imported fragrance, for it carries easily in the purse without spilling. Each stick is equal to three ounces of perfume, is greaSeless, non-rancid and dos not evaporate.
 Something pleasing in handbags is a new bag made of myriad of n1olded plastic squares, held to- gether by criss-croSsing straps. It doesn't soil easily but if it needs cleaning, damp rag will instantly restore its original sparkle.
 A flattering gift is the luminous gardenia, beautiful plastic repro duction that radiateS soft glow in the dark. A lovely flower in daytime, it becomes alive with light at night. Non -breakable, non- fading and light weight, it is a favorite of the Duchess of Windsor

True, Congress has also passed two tax laws this year, but they will not increase the federal revenue by enough to balance the budget, apart from emergency defense spending. The latest budget estimate for. the fiscal year 1941 was issued on Au- gust IS. If we put into this estimate the amount which the President pro- posed, in January, 1940, to spend on defense during the fiscal year 1941, and if we give. effect to the First Revenue Act of 1940, the result would be the pre-emergency or pre- defense budget. It would show as of August IS, 1940, deficit of 2,630 millions for the fiscal year 1941. The excess profits tax will not produce, for this fiscal year, anything like enough to balance the budget, ex- cluding from it all of the special de- fense spending.
 The first thing that Congress must do, to avoid financial chaos, is to cut the non-essential federal ex- penditureS drastically and deeply.

means a totalitarian receivership. If the borrowing is done through the banks general price imitation will follow as industries are pushed to full capacity. To prevent imitation, price control may be set up. But price control requires, also, both wage control and rationing of goods among consumers. Hitler has pre- vented undue imitation by his con- trol of prices, wages, hours of labor, and consumption. If we use his method of financing, we cannot avoid the use of his methods of con- trolling the people. But these con- trols, plus the other kinds of inter ference that would naturally follow, would mean the loss of our freedom just in getting ready to defend it.
 The only way to avoid this is to pay cash as we go. We can do it, with no more sacrifice than the de- fense program itself will involve. if we have the will to make ourselves strong and yet remain free.

 If she enjoys music she will like the revolutionary piano accessory, the Solovox. It produces electri- cally, without strings, hammers, or mechanical sounding device, hum dreds of tone colors impossible to the piano.
 On the Solovox she can play an instrumental duet with a variety of voices, resembling trombone, trumpet, flute, violin, cello and many entirely new tones. The right hand plays the melody on the Solovox and the left hand accompanies on the piano. Very easy to play, it will add life to any party. It is easily at- tached to any piano.
 She cannot fail to be delighted with one of the glamorous Mais Oui Perfume Gift Sets just an- nounced by Bourjois. They are en- cased in dainty, satin-lined hat boxes ranging from miniatures to full size, and in handkerchief and lingerie cases.
