Deal for Vis(ose
Brings Issue
ToHedd
BY WILLIAM Il. HUTCHINSON

WASHINGTON. March IS. 49,
President Roosevelt's financial ad-
visers are divided today over the
wisdom Of the administration S
present policy o. forcing the Brit
ISL 20 dispose Of their industrial
holdings IN the United States as
a gesture Of appreciation FOR the
lesse-lend program.
The controversy may break into
the open when the. President re-
turns from his vacation cruise, as
some Of his advisers are demand
ing a complete change Of policy
toward the more than $500 10000
Of British investments in the
United States.
For the moment. however. the
policy calls on the British 10 sell
their American investments In
order 10 raise dollars 10 be spent

COVERS WIDE RANGE

Current negotiations for dis
posal of the SIPS. 100000 British
owned American ViscoSe Corpora
tidh is bringing the issue 10 q
head. Previously. the British sold
about $350.000.000 Of their Amer
lean industrial investments, nearly
all of which renresented- nninnritX
holdings in a wide range Of
corporations.
The American Viscose deal
differs from the other sales, be-
cause this corporation was created
by a British family and operated
by 1t for more than 30 years.
The major issue covers a wide
range OF British holdings. Some Of
the British corporations are i'm
portant in the oil, soap. rubber
thread. beverage, monograph
record and televisiC fields Then
there are heavy British invest
ments in the insurance and trans
portation fields.

GREATER AID

Proponents of this plan say it
would. enable the British to re-
deem ownership Of some of their
American industrial holdings at
the end of the war and thereby
preserve their industrial life line
in the United States.

UNFAIR TO BRITISH

The Viscose deal has centered
attention on the whole subject of
British investments. The British
government itself acquired the
Viscose stock from the British
owners last year, when it called in
all British investments in the
United States.
Now under pressure from the
American treasury the British
government sold the corporation
to a Wall Street banking syndi-
cate, which is expected TO dispose
of il to American investors.
Some high administration Off
Gals are condemning this pro-
cedure as unfair to the British
government and unjust to British
investors, whose property is being
taken under compulsion and turned
over to Americans.
They assert that il is calculated
to breed i'll will in the future.
Their counter propor Is that the
United States government dcsig-
nate federal agency to handle
all British investments in this
country through a pool arrange
ment. for orderly marketing Of the
securities without pressure.

Burke, Former Hoya

Golf Invitation
Gibson, Maryland Open
Winner in 1889, Also
Asked to Augusta

Andrew Gibson. the Baltimore
Scotsman who held the Maryland
open golf championship in 1889, and
John P. Burke, the Georgetown Uni
versity graduate, are new nomina-
tions for invitations to play in the
1941 masters golf tournament at
Augusta.
The tourney. which is the only
event graced by the presence of
Bobby Jones. one-time world links
champion, will be staged April 8, 4,
and over the famed Augusta
National course.
Fred Mcleod Columbia Country
Club professional, is the only WASH
ington golfer honored by an invita-
tion to this strictly restricted affair.
Fred will be invited as a former
National Open champ. Invitations
are sent to all former open, amateur
and P. G. A. title holders, men,
bers of international teams, the first
80 players in the last open champion
ship, the last eight in the amateur
and P. G. A. championships, and
a few players who have unusually
good records during the winter. In
all. rs players will receive invita-
tions to play this year in the To-
hole tourney, which happens to be
one of the finest events of all those
played on the professional circuit.
The Augusta National tourney lit
orally turns out who's who" of
American golf, and invitations are
coveted. But the restrictions sur
rounding the invitations make 1t
tough to get in.
Fred Mcleod probably will play,
but the Columbia pro hasn't made up
his mind. The affair is two months
away, says Freddie, and April may
turn out to be an exceptional month
in links activity at Columbia.
Burke, a former intercollegiate
champion, captain of the George
town team and a potent factor in
looming the Hoyas to top posi-
ton in college golf, gets in because
he went to the last eight in the
last amateur championship, and
Gibson by finishing in the first 80
in the 1910 Open championship.

Rice, Lash Endanger

striding for a new world indoor
Emile record tonight when they
and six other capable performers

Both of those speedy Hoosiers are
reputed to be in midseason form

wiped out the 8:58 record Lash made
here in 1887.
1t is expected that some of the
other starters, including Tommy
Deckard, also of Indiana: Forest
Efaw of Oklahoma, Ralph Schwartz
kopf of Michigan, and Joe McClus-
key, the New York A. c. veteran.
will have such keen desire to win

Munski, tagged by Cunningham
as the most promising miller for
1941, turned in a 4:14.4 effort in

forced to shave that by plenty to
