Straight From
Washington
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Observation-Disclosures are neu-
tral only in the sense they don't care
who licks Hitler The neutrality act
was another "noble experiment" Re-
peal or drastic modification OF the
Neutrality Act is the question Of the
week in Washington. Why not repeal
this law that is dead letter? This
seems to be the question most fire.
quently asked. After all our regular
way of living has been upset. Taxes
have been increased. Hundreds Of lit
tie businesses have been injured.
Thousands of workers in these indus
tries have lost their regular jobs and
are now working day and night max
ing war materials. People ask what
is the sense Of this sacrifice and war
time effort if the materials needed TO
crush Hitler are to be loaded on ships
and sent unarmed into the Atlantic,
prey for submarines and raiders.
Tragedy
Pearson and Allen in the Washing
ton Merry-Go-Rou hold that the
greatest tragedy Of the year 1871 is
the way the British have twiddled
their thumbs watching the Russians
and done nothing except cheer from
the sidelines during the five months
since Hitler started his mechanized
| forces on the road Of conquest Of this
nation with which he had just previ-
ously signed 10-year non-aggression
pact. Had the English landed a few
hundred thousand troops in Belgium,
! Norway or Italy Hitler would have
been compelled to send some crack
divisions from the eastern front and
| fight on another front. One Congress-
man said, "The English with three
million men under arms may send an
expeditionary force to the Continent
just as soon as they have enough
Canadians and Australians to do the
! fighting"
Silk Shirts
Official figures regarding wages
paid our workers reveal that in gov
ernment work many trades are earn
ing over $500 an hour with the top

paid S1.2l per hour in New York and

dustries may presage the return OF
the silk shirt era Of the last war In
volved in this is the problem of in
fation control. Certainly it would
seem that union labor leaders should
consider seriously the fact that this
nation is now in an emergency and
that people generally agree strikes
must not be permitted to occur in any
national defense industries.

Roll Labor Act Vulid.
Appeals Court Rules

Washington, D. C.-The United
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia upheld the constitu-
tionality of the Railway Labor Act Of
1884, which established the National
Railway Adjustment Board for settle
ment of disputes between employees
and carriers. The ruling favored the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen in dispute
with the Washington Terminal Co.,
operators of the Union Station here.
The suit involved work at the Union
Station, principally shifting empty
passenger trains. The yard employees
of the company claimed they were en-
titled to the work instead of trainmen
employed by the railroads who are
members of the two brotherhoods with
contracts with the railroad companies
The Washington Terminal Company
rejected the brotherhoods' contention.
The brotherhoods were upheld by the
National Railway Adjustment Board.
The company carried the case to the
District Court, which dismissed the
suit and the action was upheld by the
ruling of the Court of Appeals.
The company challenged the con-
stitutionality of the act on grounds
that a period Of two years is required
before litigation against board rul-
ing can be commenced. 1t was esti-
mated that the case involved nearly
$250,O00 in wages which the brother
hoods claim is due them.

SETS new RECORD
WITHS UNDER PAR
Is Now In Second Place Be-
hind E. J. Dutch Harri-
son Who Has 2O3
By RUSS

OAKLAND, Calf, Jan. 11.-P,
Lanky E. J. Dutch" Harrison,
from Arkansas, led the parade, but
half-pint Benny Hogan, a trans
planted Texan was beating the bass
drum today in the third round OF
the 72.hole, $4,000 Oakland Open
golf tournament.
Hogan, now registered from
White Plains, N. Y, banged out a
phenomenal 62, eight under par,
for the Sequoyah course. 1t set a
new record for P. G. A.-sanction1l
tournaments and equalled the score
made by Ed Dudley Of Philadel-
phia in sectional qualifying for the
P. G. A. championship last year.
The sensational, par.shattering
round of last years leading money
winner among the pros, as we'll
as the holder Of the Harry Vardon
trophy, completely overshadowed
the efforts of the rest of the field.
Harrison, with a third round 50,
chung to his lead by n stroke.
He posted a 54.hole total of 2O3.
Hogan was riding on his heels
with 2O4. The windup tomorrow,
crackups excepted, should provide
one of the most exciting photo
finishes in some time.
Par golf wasn't worth a dime a
basket today. Five entries knocked
off rounds of Sc. There were IS
rounds below the $500 required
as a standard test for the $780,
yard rolling Sequoyah course.
Hogan, the little fellow with the
long swatting ability, turned the
first nine in 80 and came home in
80.
He had ten brides and made
two miscues, mind you. Except for
being short of the green on the
18th and three putting the 18th,
each for DOGGY SIS, he would have
carded a 60.

Juniors on the Y. NJ. c. A. court last

of it.

tanned the pace set by the visitors
second string during the first half,
the score being 9-S at the intermis-
sion. In the second half, NJ. Wat
kins and C. B. Sellers paced the

while holding the Midgets to 4
II points while Groom led the ~
with 5.
The Bolivia varsity almost staged
a runaway in the opening half
against the Juniors. with H. Mills
and L. Danford doing the shooting.
They led by 1876 at the halfway
mark but the "Y" boys effectively
covered their scoring aces in the
final half and scored point for point
down the home stretch. Bolivia
threw up a tight defense against
the Juniors and employed a fast
break to pile up the points in the
initial period. High scorers for the
visitors were H. Mills with II and
L. Danford with 8 points. Crowley
with 7 and Durham with 6 we're lead
ers for the "Y".

of the greatest tennis courage
