MOTOR INSPECTION STANDARDS
RAISED
Examination Period October list To
November 10Th

Maryland's annual motor vehicle
inspection-aimed particularly this
year at eliminating accidents caused
by faulty machanism-will be held
from October to November Is.
There will be positively no ex-
tension of time" for inspections, w.
Lee Elgin, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, added.
"The rise in accidents along Mary
land highways in some respects is
attributed to faulty mechanism, and
this contributing factor will be
greatly eliminated by rigid inspec-
tions and the removal of unsafe We
hicles from the highways.
due to the number of accidents
which have been caused by broken or
worn king bolts, this item will be
added to the list of mechanical parts
to be checked, Mr.. Elgin said.
About 1900 garages and service
stations will be available to make
inspections, he continued, and "a
complete check of each applicant for
an inspection station will be made
to determine qualifications and
equipment"
Mr. Elgin said he had asked Gov
eronr O'Conor for cooperation of the

Over a course groomed to the
final degree of perfection, the 30th
annual Chevy Chase Club invitation
golf tournament started today, with
notable array of sectional cham
pions in the list of approximately
80 starters. All are after the his
toric old Taft and Sherman Cups
presented by the President and Vice
President of the United States to
the Chevy Chase Club back in a
day when the club was far out in
the country, reached only by street
car or the swankier horse drawn
rigs of the powerful and wealthy.
Field Is Selected.
AS usual in these Chevy Chase
events the tourney-only individual
invitation affair to be held around
Washington this year-has drawn a
select field, but this particular event
happens to be notable because of
the appearance of diminutive Bobby
Dunkelberger of Greensboro, N. C.

for the youngster happens to be
good enough to win and probably
won't. Distinguished golfing guests
at Chevy Chase have a habit of
coming back until they do win.
Dunkelberger, mite of fellow
with an immaculate golf game,
started his qualifying round at GAS
today with Raleigh Reece of Ashe-
vile, N. c. Between them these
Carolina lads can do a chunk of
upsetting in tournament notable
in past years for departures from
the traditional dope. Raymond
Guest, noted polo star, and a golfer
OF sorts, withdrew last night. So did
Bill Waxter of Baltimore, but they
probably wouldn't figure anyway.

So the stage is set today for an

a classy field, will have done a good

play tomorrow, with two rounds
scheduled for Thursday and Friday

North and South championships,

generally is ranked fourth or fifth

For 1899 Crown
Open Struggle Tomorrow;
Entries for U. S. Play
Estimated at 1,160
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, May 15-The crack
golf pros, who have had just about
enough time to get their laundry
done and assure the club presidents
they still knew about such duties as
giving lessons and polishing clubs
since they rode or hitch -hiked back
from the winter tour, are off on the
second lap of the race for the i94O
national open championship.
Entries for the open were closed
yesterday with one of the largest
totals on record. Tomorrow the
first big preliminary test for the
title tournament at Cleveland's Can
terbury club, June 6-8, gets under
way 1t is the Goodall round-robin,
In which picked field of Is pros
will play at the Fresh Meadow club
on Long Island.
Total Estimated at 1,160.
Although the open entries won't be
checked, paired up for the sectional
qualifying rounds May 27 and an
nounced to the public for another 10
days or so, Joe Dey, executive Sec
retary of the United States Golf AS
sociation, put the approximate total
at 1,160, the sixth largest in tourna-
ment history. Last year it was 1,193,
while the 1897 record figure was
1,402.
OF these, only the players who fin
ished in tie for 30th place or better
in the 1880 open won't be required to
pass the sectional qualifying tests.
The rest will shoot 36 holes in 26
different locations and about ITO Of
them will get into the main tourna-
ment.
1t is rather surprising to note that
only 10 of the Is selected stars for
the Goodall tourney are on the ex-
empt list for the open. Martin Pose,
the Argentine ace, didn't play last
year, of course, and the veteran
Gene Sarazen had one of those rare
occasions when he couldn't make
the top 80. The others who weren't
among the leaders at the Phila-
delphia Country Club are long -driv-
ing Jimmy Thomson, young Ben
Hogan, par-busting sensation in
the South last winter, and Lawson
Little. one-time amateur champion,
who did right well during the win
ter.
Will Play in ThreesOmes.
The rest of the field includes
Byron Nelson, 1899 open champion;
Craig Wood, one of the players he
beat in the title playoff, and Jimmy
Demaret, winner of the Augusta
Masters Tournament this spring.
They'll start off in five three
somes in this order: Demaret, Thom-
san and Wood; Nelson, Hogan and
Jimmy Hines; Pose, Sarazen and
Henry Picard; Little, Paul Runyan
and Sammy Snead; Horton Smith,
Dick Metz and Clayton Heafner.
Before they finish the gruelling
126-hole grand Sunday, each will
have faced every other one in the
field. The one who can show the
greatest net total of holes won from
his IA rivals will get $1,000 and the
$500 Goodall Trophy Probably he
also will be granted the handicap
of being considered the favorite
when the open comes around.

The coming budget, it was learned,
will probably call for a reduction of
between $50O,O00,OO0 and $1,000, 0O0.-
900 in the running expenses Of the
government and an expenditure dur
ing the next fiscal year Of $4,000

OF the IL billion, it is estimated
six billion will be spent for new items,
including two billion dollars for 10000
airplanes.
The major portion Of the financing
of the military program, it was

ously short term bonds were issued

In order to prove that the trustee
ships were for the purpose of evading
British seizure, Astor's heirs produced
letters and documents. One of the
letters was written by Aston after all
arrangements had been made and de-
clared he was satisfied, that the worst
that could happen to him would be
that the British government would put
him in Jail and he didn't think that
would happen.
His premonition was partially right.
Not only did the British not put him
in Jail but the very next week the
British government elevated him to
the peerage.
There is another factor which in
clines Washington officials to look
with jaundiced eye on British pleas
of poverty.
The Dutch - including the Dutch
royal family-own more than billion
dollars worth of property in this coun-
try. Their interests are more closely
bound up with British victory than
are the interests of the Americans.
Until Dutch property holdings in
this country are liquidated the suspic-
ion will persist that the British are
not putting the case frankly when they
ask for repeal of the Johnson act.
The objection to loaning money to
Britain does not rest alone on the
ground that their record of repayment
~
on the basis of the senate munitions
committee disclosures that loans to
nations at war furnish an easy and
slippery road to war for the loaning
nation.
What happens, according to the
committee, is that nations
citizens become financially involved
in the outcome of the war and take
pains to throw the military weight of
the nation on the side of their Dor
rowers
Those of the nations citizens who
have enough to loan country at war
are seldom, if ever, in the majority of
the population and it then happens
that the majority of the people go to
war on behalf of those with enough
dough to do a country at war some
good.
There is some suspicion here that
the translations of the Dies commit
tee in its recently published White
Paper leave something to be desired.
