RUNYAN CONFIDENT.
SMITH PESSIMISTIC

Augusta, Ga, April 10 - (UP)--
Paul Runyan, O little fellow who
doesn't drive very far but Is dead
" accurate with his irons and can
hardly miss q putt, goes out today
to prove TO the big fellows that his
opening round 81 in the Masters
Golf Tournament was not Just
streak OF luck.
In any other year q 81 would
have given Runyan an undisputed
lead but this time his I'VE under
par score was matched by Lanky
Horton Smith, who has finished so
far down the list In the winter tour
naments that he has almost escaped
notice.
Although Smith said he had no
hopes OF winning his third masters
tltle--he won 1t in 1884 and 1856
Runyan was not so modest. II don't
see why / shouldn't keep hitting
them we'll" he said. And It's about
time for me TO win something.
Runyans putting yesterday was
uncanny and accounted for his sub
par round.

Special Trains to Run
At a meeting In Governor ].
Howard McGrath's Offices In the
state house here today between
Governor, Judge James z. Dooley,
president OF Narragansett Park and
high railway officials, 1t was agreed
that the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad would not sus-
pend its regular racetrack service
from Boston to Narragansett Park,
where the New England racing sea-
son opens on Saturday.
The railway company had orig
inally reported that 1t might be
forced to cancel the train service due
TO the war time demands for rolling
stock. Governor McGrath has urged
that the racetrack trains be con-
tlnued If possible, since the rev.
enue the state receives from Maria

cent Of the total of all taxes paid
in Rhode Island, are more vital
than ever before.
The meeting between the COVER
nor, Judge Dooley and railway OH
cials began at noon.
After the agreement was reached,
Judge Dooley and Frank Wall, vice
president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford met to work
out a mutually agreeable schedule
for racetrack trains, details Of
which win be announced later.

12-Monfh School Term
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. ga r.
month school term is being studied
by the Fairfax County School Board.
1t was suggested the year might
be divided into three terms, with
pupils required to attend at least
two, and the third optional.
Less teacher turnover would prob
ably result from such a system, it
was said, and teachers desiring COL
lege courses might be given semes-
ter leaves of absence. Other econo-
mics might result from steady use Of
school plants and buses.
However, the School Board left
the matter open for further con-
sideration.
Mrs. Harriet r. Gordon and Karl
H. Stutzman resigned from the
Fairfax High School faculty.
Miss Ruth Williams was ap-
pointed librarian at Fairfax High,
Miss Mildred Tate was appointed
to the home economics department,
Mrs. Ethel r. Potts was appointed
a teacher of mathematics and
science, and Miss Ruth Early was
named head of the home economics
department.
Supt. w. T. Woodson announced
the outside use Of school buses has
been reduced to minimum to con-
serve tires and buses.

Head of Church Council Leaves
|On Clipper for Geneva PorIey

But 1t was easily negotiated by the
mild-mannered man who bears SO
much Of the responsibility of the
Federal Council. Born In 1888 in
Charlton, N. Y, DR.. Cavert dropped
the manual labor Of the farmer for
the mental vision Of the scholar
when he entered Union College.
Following this preparation three
years at Union Theological Sem
mary, New York, led him to his
ordination as a Presbyterian min
lister. A Union Seminary fellowship
In 1916 took DR.. Cavert through
India, China and Japan. Later he
twice visited the Near East, sailed
the Caribbean and made nine trips
to Europe, the latter in the interest
of international Christianity.
Interested In Refugees.
DR.. Cavert is an active director
OF four refugee organizations. One
OF the associations particularly
priced by him is with the National
Refugee Service, a Jewish relief
organization. He is one OF its few
Christian members.
DR.. Cavert's only activity which
might approach a hobby is the Re-
ligious Book Club, which he founded
and patterned after the Book-of-
the-Month Club plan. He has little
time to crafty fondness for re-
ligious teaching, having turned down
an offer to teach at Union Seminary.
Membership on the Executive Com
mittee of the International Council
of Religious Education is perhaps a
slight sop to his desire.

Cavert, general secretary of the
Federal Council Of the Churches Of
Christ in America, has Just left on
the Atlantic Clipper to meet in
formally with the stats of the

that he will discuss with his fellow
Christians means of maintaining
contacts and will help make pro-

an upstate New York village to the
job of keeping a finger on the pulse
OF world Christianity is a long jump.
