Senate Votes
Cross
Bloc Drafts Plans To OPP
pose Direct Transfer OF
Military Equipment
SESSION LOOMS
Way Cleared For Bill To
Allow Indirect Assistance
To Britain And France

WASHINGTON, June 13-RN
Unanimously and unquestioningly,
the senate approved a $50, DOC, OOC
appropriation for Red Cross relief
work among the homeless civilians
of the allied lands today, but a
bloc of senators vas reported to
be organizing to prevent any direct
transfer of military equipment
from this government to G r e a t
Britain or France.
At the same time there were
accommodating indications that con-
gress would be in session for some
time to come. Speaker Bankhead
said that original plans for ad-
journing on June % probably would
have to be abandoned, and MAORI
ty leader Rayburn assured the re-
publican members that they would
have 'tall the opportunity to stay
in Washington this summer" that
they may desire.
Urge Long Session
Republicans in both houses of
congress had adopted resolutions
opposing adjournment so long as
the present European crisis con-
tinues. A number of democrats
also had urged that congress stay
in Washington.
The question came up on the
House floor today, with Rep.
Treadway (R-Mass) asserting that
Mr.. Roosevelt had endeavored to
run to cover in his recent state
ments and to dispel any idea that
he was anxious for congress to go
home.
Mr.. Roosevelt had requested the
$50, 600, 900 Red Cross appropria-
ton on Tuesday, saying that it
would express Americas sympathy
with civilian war victims by a
concrete example of our inherent
and decent" generosity. Later he
told a press conference that the
relief would go entirely to the al
lied countries because it was i'm
possible to get supplies into the
lands of their enemies.
Senator Adams D-Colo) presen-
ted the appropriation today as an
amendment to the pending work
relief bill. Under the terms of the
legislation the money is to be spent
by the Red Cross or other agen-
cies to buy supplies in the United
States. There was a consequent
prospect that the expenditure
would reduce American SURPRISES
of farm products.
Meeting Held
Senators were chary of common
ting on the formation of the bloc
to prevent direct governmental mil
itary assistance to the Allies. But
it is known that one meeting had
already been held, in the office OF
Senator Clark D-Mo), attended by
several senators and one member
of the House.
One of those who was present
said that the group would raise
no objection to selling army and
navy equipment to the Allies
through the intermediary Of a pri-

REAL FATE UNCERTAIN
Germans Are Certain De-

Within Next Few Hours

BERLIN, June 13-R-Authori'
tative reports of an impending
German radio ultimatum for sur.
render of Paris, with the alterna.
tive of devastation, were followed
tonight by a published report that
the French would not defend the
city from within.
The report was carried under a
Paris dateline by DNB, the Ger
man news agency. Den %interpre-
tation here was that the French
decision had been made to save
the city on the Seine from the
fate of smashed Warsaw.
None could say, however, wheth-
er it could be regarded as salts
faction in advance of the expected
demand from the German h i 6 h
command that the French capital
actually surrender.
Fate Uncertain
This left uncertain the real war
fate of Paris.
There also was no official con.
firmation that negotiations W e r e
under way through a third -arty

bassy at Paris-to withdraw the
batt1ezone from Paris.
Reliable but unofficial source
said, however, that United States

Like the weather and Washing
tons ice-ridged streets, apparently
nothing can be done about it, but
until the Eastern Amateur Hockey
League is enabled to obtain COM
petent officials, its status as an in
teresting but scrap-saturated cir
cult will be maintained.
Stymied by immigration laws
which prohibit the importation of
Canadian officials, apparently the
only whistle-tooting guys minus
astigmatism and equipped with a
willingness to call 'em as they see
'em, the Eastern League is destined
to stagger along with officials who
have demonstrated they can't keep
games under control.
Last night, for instance, as Port
Colborne dealt the Washington
Eagles 80 trimming before 1000
fans at Riverside Stadium, efficient
officiating would have checked a
free-for-all midway in the third
period. Failure to administer pen
alties as they developed resulted in
the wholesale Slugglng.
Knipfel's Slash Starts Row.
1t was touched off when Ross
Knipfel, attempting to avoid
body check by Port Colborne's Vince
Upper, slashed Upper across the
right eye with his stick, the cash
later requiring stitch. Rules
dictate major penalty for Knip-
fel regardless of whether the blow
was accidental, but Referee Frank
Magaffin ignored the incident.
Then, almost at the same instant,
the Eagles Mike Germann was
tripped viciously by Sailor de-
fenseman, but that, too, was missed.
Mike, incidentally, received three
stitches in the right eyelid and two
over the left eyebrow after the
brawl.
Those incidents led to major
mauling. Upper, righteously en-
ragged. unleashed his wrath on the
first Eagle he viewed, which hap
pened to be fiery little Paul Cour-
teau. He whacked Courteau into the
boards with bone bending body
check, but Referee Magaftin con-
tinued to be bewildered.
Courteau came up swinging, his
scraped face mute evidence he had
been body-checked convincingly.

Modern Rifle, Pistol
Champs Far Ahead
Of 0Id-Timers
Great Records Are Shot
By Woodring, Hemming,
N. R. A. Medal Winners

America still remains a Nation of
rif1emen.
You don't have to go farther be-
hind the scenes than to view the
records of the National Rifle Asso-
citation, where chunky William
Woodring of Alton, ILL.,, today proud
ly displays the impressive medal
handed him last night by the N.
R. A., as the head man with small
arms in the United States during
1899. All Woodring did was to aver
age 99.65 at 100 yards. If that isn't
accurate shooting, there wasn't any
blitzkrieg in Poland Nor was AL
w. Hemming of Detroit any sissy
with the pistol. Hemming, a stock
lily built man, shot ITO times with
his popgun for an average of 956.
Old Marksmen Outclassed.
Bring on your Wild Bill Hickok
and your Frisco Kid. Hemming could
have plugged them full of super
heated lead at any range before they
could swing their Colts into action.
And as for the longer ranges,
Brother Woodring could take care
of those. Between Woodring, who
happens to be relative of the Sec
retary of War, and Hemming, they
could have done all right against
any Army company, even those
equipped with the much-discussed
Garand semi-automatic rifle.
That gun, soon to be turned out
in .30-caliber in production that will
equip every soldier in the United
States Army in two years, will trans
form the American soldier into a
man equipped to defend himself
against any armed man in the
world, according to Maj. Gen. c. M.
Wesson, chief of ordnance, United
States Army. THE least we can
do," said Gen. Wesson, sis to arm
every fighting man with fighting
tools comparable with those of the
soldiers of any nation. But America
still remains Nation of rif1emen." :"
Waller Again President.
Gen. Wesson insisted that the
doughboy-the foot soldier-is the
force behind any military attack.
Hemming thrice has been small
bore rifle champion of the United
States. AS Col. L. w. T. Waller, re-
elected president Of the National
Rifle Association, presented him
with the small arms trophy he said
Hemming "only" was able to be
runnerup in 1899. If they rate their
champions by efficiency, Hemming
still ranks champ in any class with
that 9965 average. Also elected
were Col. M. c. Nash of Boston, vice
president; Maj. Gen. M. A. Reckord
of Baltimore, executive vice presi-
dent, and c. B. Lister, secretary
treasurer. The annual dinner was
held last night at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.

Although only three of the first

Nurmi 10 See Stars
Attack His Mark in
Mi||rose Meet
Maxi, Phantom Finn,' Also
To View Great Fields
In Action Tonight
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. St probably
is his famous sense of timing that
brings Paavo Nurmi back to the
United States today, just in time to
find a new generation of runners
taking pot shots at one of the
many records he put on the books.
Fifteen years ago Peerless Paavo
ran in the Millrose games and set
a world record of minutes 38 Sec
onds for three-quarters of mile.
Tonight in the 33d annual Millrose
games. in Madison Square Garden,
the three-quarter-m mile run will be
on the program for the first time
since then, and Paavo and Taisto
Maxi, the 1910 Phantom Finn" will
be in the crowd of $4,000 or more.
Stars Attacking Record.
Nurmi's 3:03.8 no longer is the
world record. But it's only four
tenths of a second slower, it still
stands as the meet record, and as
such it will be one of the objectives
for John Borican, Archie San Ro-
mani, Wayne Rideout and Tommy
Deckard.
In addition to the Nurmi 3:03.8
and world record 1904 for the
three-quarters, one other standard
is in serious danger. That's the
44O-yard clocking of 0:49.6 turned
in 27 years ago by Long Tom Halpin
and equaled only once since, by
Wally Koppisch, Columbia's football
star.
Standbys of the Millrose games,
of course, are the 600 and the mile.
Tonight's will be the 26th running
of the 900, and a distinctive one
for at least one reason-there will
be a Millrose A. A. man in the field
for the first time.
Goldberg Faces Champions.
He's Sanford Goldberg, the hard
working fireman, who will go to the
mark with Charley Beetham. in
door 600-meter champ; Jim Her
bert and Yves Wallace, 1888 and
1899 winners, and Bill Fritz of
Canada.
The mile, marking Glenn Cum
ningfam's last appearance in this
meet, will find "Ole Man Mile"
shooting for his seventh win in
eight starts. Unbeaten in this race
since 1885 and meet record holder
at ELL, he stands healthy chance
Of taking a beating from any one
of his five rivals-Chuck Fenske and
Gene Venzke, who already have
whipped him this year; Lou zam-
perini, best college miller in 80;

champ, and Les MacMitchell, New

Tiger Lead Menaced

Independents Play Many
Major Weekend Tits;

Ry the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Princeton's
Tigers encounter Dartmouth tonight
in their third and hardest game OF
the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket
Ball League season.
1t is the game that probably will
show whether Princeton will be the
pacesetter when general action is
resumed next week, or just one Of
the bunch.
When the Tigers started the cam
paign week ago, Dartmouth, Cor
nell and Yale were tied for the
lead, each with two victories and
one defeat. Princeton disposed of
the first two to take the lead. Dart
mouth, champion the past two years,
now stands as the Tigers only first
place challenger.
Each Has Scoring Star.
Dartmouth has the advantage of
playing on its home court. Each has
one scoring star-Gus Broberg of the
Indians and Princeton's johnny
Meyerholz. The squads appear about
equai>> matched otherwise. The
signs thus point to a close game,
but signs haven't meant much this
season. Dartmouth should be the
favorite, not only because it hasn't
lost a home game this season, but
because Broberg, strictly a shooter
last year when he smashed the
league scoring record, has shown
great improvement in all-around
floor work.
Tuning up for big program next
week, including four league games
