Sports Goods company which spon-
sred Bulge, and the Cosmopoli-
tan Tennis club, on whose courts
the exhibition play was staged, at
tracted a mixed gathering of more
than 5000 excited tennis enthusi-

anything quite like it and, today,
it is the talk of the town.
AS for the brilliant occasion, it
was saved despite the fact that,
Mcdaniel, minus nervousness dis

a contest for the touted fellow

MCDANIEL IMPROVES
In the second set when he had
gained his composure, Mcdaniel,
who got few points and but one
game out of the first set, played
many points to deuce and looked
impressive when maneuvering
himself to two games.
Bulge, with sizzling-hot serv-

overhead "kills", had the gallery

Stephen F. Chadwick, Repub-

was one of a few congressman who
had twice voted against advancing
appropriations TO the Dies COM

Chadwick spoke at Clover Park

in Eatonville.
The man who opposes me re-
fused 10 vote for funds for the
committee even after il had
brought forth evidence which led
to the conviction of Earl Browder
of the Communist party and in
the unmasking of Fritz Kuhn of
the German-American bund,"
Chadwick said.
He has consistently, during
seven and one-half years in con-
gress been yes man for the
greediest bunch of bureaucrats
who ever seized power in our ma
uonal capital. He was selected
by Harold Ickes to be the Demo-

Mauretania Is Expected
To Quit Honolulu Today

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, April 5.-Usually re.
liable sources said today Britain's
swift liner Mauretania would quit
Honolulu at noon to resume her
secrecy wartime voyage,
apparently to New Zealand or Aus
tralia to pick up troops.
The spacious passenger ship was
being made ready here for depar-
ture. A crew of 410 was aboard $50
of them in the culinary service-a
fact which lent credence to the
theory she would enter transport
duty.
One crewman expressed the
opinion the vessel would pick up a
British naval escort on leaving
Hawaii. Protecting craft lowered
on the horizon on the trip from
the Bahama Islands to the Panama
Canal, he said, but none had been
seen between the Canal and Homo
lulu.
Crew members, who were granted
shore leave after the liner made a
surprise docking here yesterday, said
the vessel was operating under
sealed orders. They expressed the
belief, however. the huge vessel, one
of the largest ever to enter Honolulu
Harbor, would sail some time today
after loading fuel and water.

President Would LET
Bureaus Operate Free
OF Curb by Courts
Speed Is Sacrificed,
He Says, When Usual
Procedure Is Followed
By JOHN C.. HENRY.

President Roosevelt today inter-
posed an implied objection to the
pending Logan-Walte bill provid-
ing for broadened judicial review
OF the operation of certain quasi
judicial Government organizations.
In discussing the bill at a press
conference, Mr.. Roosevelt empha-
sized that he has not read the meas
ure itself and is unaware of it's
present status. He made clear,
however, that he feels there are
certain objections to submitting ad-
minlstrative agencies of the Gov
eminent to continuing restrictive
action by the courts.
In amplifying his position. he de-
clared his feeling that if depart
ments Of the Government, inClud-
ing the quasi-judicial agencies, are
required to transact all their busi-
ness in accordance with the usual
practices and procedures of the
courts it would result in giving the
party with the most money oppor-
tunity to slow up procedure to an
unconscionable degree. In courts
of law he pointed out, there are
either plaintiff and defendant or
prosecutor and defendant and.
by the system in effect. either of
these parties can prevent expedi-
tious disposition of the courts busi-
ness.
Sees Government Hindered.
Everyone would probably agree.
he continued, that it would be un-
fortunate to slow the workings of
Government in that fashion.
Asked if he believed there is ant
distinction between the new and
older Government agencies, since
some of the latter have been elimi-
mated from jurisdiction of the
pending act. Mr. Roosevelt said he
would be interested to know on
what grounds such action had been
Proposed.
The President returned to his ex-
ecutive Offices for today's press con-
ference after several days of fol-
lowing modified schedule in the
White House proper.
