War Sfresses Need
OF j. ). Defenses,
Pittman Says
Senator Sees Need Of
Preparation Along All
Lines at Once

Events in Europe today should
serve to warn this country of the
time required to prepare for ma
tional defense and "the absolute
necessity of the United States COM
mencing such preparation along all
lines at once" Chairman Pittman
OF the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee declared last night.
Asked If he regards Germany's
success in Norway as a serious set
back for the Allies, the Nevadan
replied:
The events in Norway have
tended more to injure the prestige
Of Great Britain rather than to have
had any lasting, material effects
upon the result of the war. In con-
sidering the ultimate result of the
war, We must remember that the
nation or nations controlling the sea
have never been conquered. 1t has
been urged that the great develop
ment OF airships raises doubt as
TO the dominant position of navies.
That question has not been in any
sense determined by the war in
Norway
Taken by Surprise.
Senator Pittman said apparently
the British government and navy
were taken entirely by surprise and
that it is evident also the German
government had made every prep
aration for such INVASION
1T had armed forces in the guise
OF sailors upon merchantmen in
every Norwegian harbor, prepared
TO take possession of such ports in
stantly upon the German invasion
through Oslo," the Senator con-
tlnued. THE German air forces
demonstrated their effectiveness In
battle where not opposed by other
air forces and materially aided IN
the invasion. There has been no
demonstration, however, in the war
in Norway of the effectiveness of
airships against battleships. Nor
way has rugged coast with few
harbors and British landing forces
were intercepted by land armament
in such ports in possession Of the
Germans.
Until it is demonstrated that air
fleets can successfully combat with
water fleets, we cannot successfully
assert that nations who control the
seas can be conquered.
Problem of Materials.
ut cannot be denied that if Ger
many consummates the conquest Of
Norway and domination over Swe-
den that 1t will be of great material
value to Germany. nor can it be
denied that if Hitler is able to
dominate the Balkans that he will
acquire great additional strength.
The probe mstill exists, however,
as to whether sufficient raw ma
terials could be obtained in the Ba:-
kans in time to materially benefit
Hitler. 1t takes time and capital
to develop and transport raw re-
sources"
Senator Pittman said he did not
think developments in Norway
should cause this country to con-
centrate on air defense rather than
through its Navy.

Spain Turns 10 U. 5.
For Economic Aid

MADRID, May 4.-The European
war has caused Spain to look west
ward instead of northward for COM
merce, and as a result improved
relations with the United States are
believed here to be in prospect.
The Spanish press carried ar
ticles today praising the United
States and especially the United
States Ambassador, Alexander We'd
dell, who sailed from Naples for a
vacation trip to the United States
Wednesday.
Washington is expected here to
be receptive to Spanish requests for
economic aid. One authoritative
quarter said the Spanish Nationalist
government was expecting to get
financial help to the amount Of

Man, Suspecting Baby Mixup
In 1911, Seeks True Heir

''You have a fine baby" the doc
tor told him.. His head is almost
as big as mine"
At the same hour a baby boy
was born to Scandinavian woman
in a room adjacent to Mrs. Stulls
A nurse showed Mr.. Stull baby
with large head and black hair, he
said, "a family characteristic"
'She hesitated and said, No, it's
the one over here. Then she showed
me baby with no hair. I wondered
then If she were sure"
Parental pride and affection over
shadowed any doubts. I'VE loved
him so much that we wouldn't have
parted with him even if we knew
there had bene mixup in babies" I"
Now Mr.. Stulls aim is to find the
identity of the Scandinavian mother
But the hospital long since was
closed and the records disappeared
The attending physician. the woman
who operated the hospital and the
head nurse are dead.

McCosky Assumes Lead
In American Contest

CHICAGO, July 2O-R-William
Barney McCosky, Detroit's 22-year
old sophomore outfelder, was
ignored on the All-Star selections
a few weeks ago, but he's the big
offensive noise in the American
league anyway.
Young Barney collected 10 hits
in 35 trips to the plate last week to
take over the batting lead and
move into the front-running spot
in three other Individual depart
ments to play.
McCosky gained seven points
through Fridays games, boosting
his Mace mark to 1858, a slight
lead owe Rip Radcliff of St. Louis
who is hitting 1850. The Tiger star
also tops the field in triples with IL
and he has the most hits, 113 and
the most runs, 70.
Two former leaders in hitting.
Taft Wright of Chicago and Lou
Finney of Boston, are tied for third
at 1854, representing a one-point
loss for Finney during the week
and a two-point drop for Wright,
the pace-setter a week ago.

ST. LOUIS, July 20. -P- Long
Lon Warneke fed Ducky Medwick
a home run ball with n out in
the first inning today, but clamped
down tight after that and pitched
the Cardinals to a 8 to 2 victory
over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The de-
feat dropped the Dodgers to four

The deciding run in this tight

thus giving long Lon his seventh
win of the year.
Warneke gave up ten hits alto

they were going to send Warneke
to the showers. Cookie Lavagetto

Ancient Lefty Grove started for
the sox but was tagged for four
runs in the second with none out

To Win Tuo Crowns

BALTIMORE, July 20.-LRl-Don
Mcneil, the Oklahoma City youth
who is expected to challenge Bobby
Riggs for the national mems singles
title this summer, unleashed today
the brand of tennis that has car
ried him toward championship
heights as he overwhelmed Jack
Kramer, Of California, to win the
Mid-Atlantic and Maryland state
crowns.
Except for a bitterly-fought first
set, in which Kramer, the giant
killer" of the tournament, matched
the Kenyon college star stroke for
stroke, the singles championship
play was all McNeilTs way. The
scores were: 81, 6-3, 6-2.
Their match, played under a bis
tering sun and the highest tempera-
ture of the year in Baltimore, was
a climax to the opening contest in
which Alice Marble of Beverly Hills,
Calf, the national women's singles
champion, and her little doubles
teammate, Mary Arnold, also of Cali
fornia, captured the women's dou-
bles crown from Mary Hardwick and
Valerie Scott of England. The scores
were: rs, ga.
The American, pair, had to come
from behind to win the opening
set after the English girls had built
up a 80 lead with pretty teamwork,
and were forced to stave off a rally
that threatened to deuce their Sec
ond set lead.

Gives Brilliant Exhibition
OF Chip And Explosion
Shots For A SO
BY EARL HILLIGAN

CHICAGO, July 20.-R-Curly-
haired Johnny Revolta, long one
of the finest short-iron artists in
the game, demonstrated his wiz
ardry around the greens at Tam
O'Shanter today with a three-und-
er-par 81 performance which gave
him a 36-hole total of 1876 strokes
and the leadership of the $4,000
Chicago open golf championship at
the half point.
The %9-year-old profession from
Evanston, ILL.,, who had a fine five
under par 81 yesterday, gave a
brilliant exhibition of chip and ex-
plosion shots in four of his five
brides as he went out in SO, even
par, and came home in 80, three
under regulation figures. His abili-
ty around the greens has made
him a consistent money winner for
years and his forte stood him in
good stead today.
In second place as the tourney
headed for tomorrow's SO hole final
was Ralph Guldahl, two time Win
ner of the National Open Title
Putting on one of the finishes for
which he is famous, he came in
with a blazing 34-34-68, four IN
der par, for a So hole total Of 1877
He made up for wildness off the
tee with some fine approaches and
brilliant work on the greens.

pion of Australia who led the field
yesterday with a 66, came in to-
day with a 70 for a 1879 total which

Also in the 139 bracket was Dick
Metz, Chicago professional w o
had a II today. In the al division
were two amateurs, MILFORD
Wehrle of the home club, and Will
lie Turnesa, former National anna
teur titleholder. Wehrle had a Sc
cond round SO while Turnesa took
a 70.
Jim Fouls, Chicago, and Al
Huske, De Kalb, ILL.,, were in the
142 bracket, with a Chicago pro-
fessional, Bob Mcdonald, and Ben
Hogan of New York, at 143. Among
the equallers Of par of 144 for the
two rounds were Ed Oliver, Harry
Cooper and Gene Sarazen.
Sawson Little, the National Open
champion who had a 70 yesterday,
equalled par today for a 145 total.
Sam Snead, a pre- tourney favorite
with Guldahl, could do no better
than a rs today for a So hole total
of 14S. This put him well within
