SNEAD GETS SET
FOR TEXAS MEET
Pros Warm Up for Opening of
Tourney; Klein Cards Ga
On Par II Course

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. g. UP -
Muddy fairways and slick greens
Of Willow Springs golf course be-
gan baking under bright sunshine
late today-and that was all the
touring professional band needed
to burn up the place on the v OF
the Texas Open.
For the second successive day
the elements meant little to Sam
uel Jackson Snead, the betting
mountaineer of Hot Springs, Va,
playing in the pro-amateur event.
Snead, despite two ragged holes
caused by ugly lies in the mud,
plodded around the par 36-35-71
course in 34-33-67. Yesterday,
with the rain harrassing him, he
equalled the course record W t h
31-33-64.
But Snead had to play second
fiddle today to a chunky, little
known professional from New
R%raunfels, Tex, Charles Klein
The former assistant professional.
OF this rain-spattered course
played magnificently in early
morning cloudiness to card a 80
31-64. He needed no help from
his amateur partner, Jack Rayzor
of San Antonio. His card was the
best ball.
Late in the afternoon Lawson
Little, national Open champion
and Miss Betty Jameson, the sh,
San Antonio lass who has won thu
national women's title two year!
in succession, came in with a g.

MEDAL IN TOURNEY
Greensboro Manager Posts
145 in Opening Round OF
Baseball Players Meet

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla Feb
eLR-Though he came down in the
!. hack at the halfway point and re-
ouired emergency medical treat
ment before he could continue, the
veteran Heinie Manush put to-
oether two good rounds of 72-73-
las to win medal honors IN the
qualifying round of the Sixth An

Heinie's nearest rival was Lloyd
Brown. another old-timer now

boro. N. c., swung too hard right
at the conclusion of his morning
round and what should come loose
but his -sacro-iliac.
Munash was rushed into town
to a doctor. There the Grant joint
was snapped back into place, and
Heinie lit another cigar and went
on left-handing his way around the
course. He shot the last nine in "a,
a stroke under par.
Yves Terrell, defending cham
pion and three-times former WIN
ner. broke two wood clubs and two
irons in posting a 75-76-151. Yves
was not happy on the afternoon
round and threw his clubs 13 times
by actual count, getting slightly
better distance with his woods than
with his irons.
Tying Terrell at Isl was Mer-
vim Shea, the quiet Detroit coach,
with rounds of 1916. Gerald Walk
er, Cleveland's new outfelder, was
all alone at 77-75-152. Joe Med
wick and Jack Russell tied at 153.
while Jimmie Foxx, who is sched-
uled to have his regular annual
salary argument tomorrow with
Jimmy Collins, general manager
of the Red Sox, posted 74-8O-l54.

DEMAGOGUES

Speaker Sam Rayburn had to cal on the dictionary, the Manual o1 Rules and his own sense of humol to cope with this ticklish parliamen- tary question: Can newspaper cal 230 House members demagogues and get away with it?
 The question was posed by vocifer- ous Republican Clare Hoffman oi Michigan, who raised point o1 personal privilege" in connection with a Washington newspaper edi- torial, branding as demagogues those who voted against the Overton bill to increase the annual federal con- tribution to the District of Colum- kia.
 Hoffman dem nd d that the newspaper be investigated because of the reflection" it cast on the 230 House members, including him. self. who voted against the bill When Rayburn held that Hoffman had not been mentioned individually and, under House rules, was not en- titled to personal privilege, the

WIRTZ RESIGNATION

On January 10 of this year Hon. est Harold" Ickes issued an official statement to the press denying a Washington Merry Go-R Round story that the Under Secretary of the In- terior, Alvin J. Wirtz, would shortly resign and would be replaced by ex- Congressman Jack Dempsey of New Mexico.
 With characteristic vigor, Secre- tary Ickes said: Both generally and specifically deny every single one of these statements and every impli- cation that any one of them may carry"
 However, Alvin J. Wirtz has now resigned as Under Secretary of the Interior and ex-Congresslnan Jack Dempsey is being appointed in his place.
 NOTE: - When Admiral Land Chairman of the Maritime Commis sion. heard Dempsey was leaving the Commission for the Interior De- partment, he hit the ceiling. New Mexico, from which Dempsey halls, cannot boast a single navigable stream but he has been an excellent Maritime Commissioner.

and are used chiefly in congested of cities and against munitions dumps.
 Armor- piercing bombs have much heavier cases and smaller loads of explosives than demolition bombs. These used only against heavy fortifca- tions.
 Aerial mines bombs weighing about one ton and are released by parachute They detonate on impact and produce intense blast effect These have been used in congested areas also.
 Last of all is the hazard of aerial gunfire, as planes carry machine guns and cannon.
 Our government has learned that going down ficuties not only because of the cost of construc While the subways of London have done the great est service air raid shelters American tunnels are too near the surface to be of use.
 Modern office buildings which abound in all Americans cities offer natural locations for shelters and, strangely in eight-story building the base ment would not be selected but instead the second or third floor. At this level occupants would be reasonably safe from a hit the roof and at the same time would be protected against spnters gas and flood.

Good for Young America
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The Army doctors may be overly severe in re- jectng sent up for military service by the draft boards It seems incredible that many young mer should have disqualifying physical imperfections Yet that is the record Of course, most of the causes for rejection to the layman not to be serious defective teeth weak eyes are the main faults But there were many cases of hernia and of mal- nutrition. Not one boy in 50 previously had had a physical examination and their rejection came to them as a disagreeable surprise. Fortunately most of the troubles reported by the Army doctors can be remedied without much trouble
 And then another unexpected feature was dis closed This lack of bodily strength flabby muscles and arms and legs not up to standard. The doctors say that the automobile is largely reSpon- sible for this. The boys have been riding instead of walking they have been holding steering wheel instead of swinging

balance between the Upper Pluto and Lower-Pluto influences. Th e Lower-Pluto influences encourage atheistic materialism, exalting brute force and exalting selfish cunning Although the stars are read as presaging victory for democracy and the ultimate defeat of the dic- tators, the next few weeks will bring supreme perils for those who battle for liberty and progress. Be- tween now and early autumn great events are to develop along sur- prising lines.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros- perity in which there may be a tendency toward unwise spending Risks, financial and physical, should be carefully avoided.
 Children born on this day may be pleasure-loving and improvident as well as talented. They should be carefully educated in thrift.

AIR RAID SHELTERS

There has already been some talk in Juneau at least family has definite plans for construc tion of shelter immediately.
 pamphlet just issued by the Office for Finer gency Management outlining many of the problems involved in protecting life, industrial plants and public utilities from air raids reveals that gov- ernment is studying the subject thoroughly in light of London's experence.
 Not only does the government assure us that it is ready to act effectively if need be- but we are heartened by the admontion that there is neces- sity for constructing any shelters at this time The OEM also expresses the hope that shall never need any.
 A nation must guard against seven types of hazards in aerial warfare.
 Demolition bombs the largest, weighing from 50 pounds to two tons These are used against har- bors bridges, major Notifications and vessels It is interesting to note that most bombs dropped European cities have weighed less than $50 pounds Augmentation bombs weigh from IT to 30 pounds and are employed against targets easily demolished searchlghts
 Gas bombs much smaller than demolition bombs and their effect structures is much less, but they are important consideration in the con- structon of air raid shelters making necessary gas- tight inclosures gas locks and complicated ventilat- ing systems.
 Incendiary bombs weigh from two to 100 pounds

HOROSCOPE "The stars i1,cline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JUNE l

Adverse aspects rule today. On this first day of June sensational news may be depressing. Some mis- fortune connected with aviation is indicated. Aged persons may be deeply concerned regarding war de- velopments Statesmen long in pub lie service will be safe counselors. Heart and Home: Women are under stimulating and inspiring in
 fluences while this configuration
 prevails. Churches will greatly benefit through their faithful SUD- port. The study of the Scriptures, especially the Old Testament prophecies, will engage unusual at
 tention among persons of all be- liefs. This is a favorable sway for home hospitalities. Girls may ex-
 pect suitors to be serious and def- mite in their intentions.
 Business Affairs: Continued pros
 perity is forecast. Years of bens- fits due to the expansion of power achieved by the United States are prognosticated. While there will be financial reactions at the close or the worst period of war in all Nls- tory, the stars seem to promise pro- longation of general business and commercial success in the great democracy. This means, however, the seers warn, that speculation and profiteering must be avoided. Sound principles in which true democratic ideas prevail will assure splendid results that enable the na- tion to lead the world.
 National Issue: Advocates of a middle course in all economic prob lems will exercise wholesome influ- ence. The seers who declare that this is a period of economic revo- lution counsel wise readjuStments Isolationists are advised to realize that theirs is an outmoded idea, since civilization has removed all barriers of space and time that formerly affected international re- lations. Growth of a united spirit among legislators is foretolds as likely to develop rapidly.
 International Affairs: History IS to be written in blood and fire this month. Wars waste is to be gigan- tic in life and property, if the stars are rightly read. Underneath the
 worldwide conflict the spirit of democracy is to burn with 8 flame which is to consume the dictators in the course of time. Before the ultimate victory, however, there are to be reverses that are tests to faith as well as courage. British statesmen are warned to safeguard their health. There is a portent of illness or extreme exhaustion for the premier.
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of an eventful year. They should avoid offending associates. A romantic friendship is probable for certain men.
 Children born on this day proo- ably will be emotional and idealis- tic. They will be talented in the

Michigander offered a resolution to authorize the investigation.
 This put Rayburn on tight spot. If he held that the resolu- tion was not privileged, he would be siding with the newspaper. If he held that the resolution was privi- legged, and it came to the floor. the House would be placed in the ludic- rous position of voting on whether or not 230 of its members were 6emagogues.
 The astute Speaker wriggled out of the dilemma by telling Hoffman he would study the matter and in- form him later, virtual veto. Mean while, he did little scorching of the Michigan Congressman for put ting him on the spot. Ceremoniously calling for a dictionary, Rayburn read the definition of a demagogue

early in 1942. Britain is now turn ing out her first four-motOred bomb- CTS. the Stirling. Exact rate of pro duction is a military secret, but it is not high. U. s. airmen consider it an excellent ship
 Meanwhile U. s. production is ex- banding at a rate which a few months ago was not thought possible. Airplane motors are the key to the bomber program. To this end Ford, Buick and Studebaker have taken over Wright and Pratt Whitney pat ents and by early 1922 will be turn ing out 1,600 engines a month. This will be in addition to the accelerated production of Wright and Pratt Whitney in their own plants.
 Propeller production also is being stepped up. The Nash -Kelvinator company is rushing construction of a new plant at Lansing, Mich, to manufacture thr e e-blade bomber propellers under license from United Aircraft.
 Meanwhile Boeing and Consoli- dated flying fortresses are being fer ried in a steady stream across the Atlantic.
 NOTE.-The Martin BX-9 twin motor bomber, considered by the British the best of it's type in the world, has reached the mass pro- duction stage and soon will be com ing off the line at a rate of more than 120 a month.

MONDAY, JUNE 2

Conflicting aspects rule today. Encouraging news regarding busi- ness affairs may be expected, al- though there is sinister portent affecting war expansion.
 Heart and Home: Under this con- figuration the family should con- centrate upon daily tasks; practi- cal interests should dominate. It is a lucky day for letters and for sign- ing contracts, but not fortunate for starting anything Although it IS Monday and the first of the month it is not suspicious for seeking em- ployment or promotion. College girls are well directed. They should specialize in vacations in which the broadest service will be possible. The stars presage many unusual opportunities for well-trained wom- en.
 Business Affairs: The youth movement in agriculture will re- ceive great impetus this summer. Through clubs and scientific train- ing girls as well as boys will dem- onstrate ability to contribute much to the food supplies of the nation and thus to profit handsomely. Women of all ages will be required to replace men who are called to defense service and commercial re- adjustments of great future sig nificance will be general. Full equality will be eventually accord ed to women who still lack certain rights for which their leaders are battling.
 National Issues: Problems relat- ing to the National Guard are fore- told. Army organization will com mand wide attention. Fifth column agents will be numerous in the var ious training centers and will fo- ment discontent among unthink- ing youths. Loyalty on the part of German Americans and Japanese Americans will be demonstrated. In view of the magnitude of the task .of training tens Of thousapds of young men a little difficulty is to be encountered astrologers predict

 Altogether too many people accusing each other of wishful thinking.

We may restrict the wishfu thinkers to those who accused of deceving only themselves. Even here there two kinds
 George Washington at Valley Forge and the Allies in 1914 at the beginning of the battle of the Marne were wishful thinkers They have been prop erly cited in answer to Lindberghs firm belief that Hitler cannot be defeated History is full of mer and of causes that triumphed against overwhelming odds by sheer resolve not to give in. They were successful wishful thinkers. It is now year since Britain has stood off apparently imminent defeat by wishfu thinking.
