Murphy to Try Net Comeback
In Mid Atlantic Tournament

Dick Murphy, veteran District
netman, will try comback in the
Middle Atlantic tournament, open
ing Saturday at Columbia Country
Club, disregarding a previous de-
cision to play in no more compeJi-
tive affairs.
His name was among more than
a score on file with Buddy Goeltz
at Columbia, and the heavy list OF
early entries indicated the tourney
would attract a full draw of 64
players from the District and adja-
cent territory.
Murphy, not entered last year,
will seek the crown held by Barney
Welsh, and while he has only an
outside chance at best of going very
far, his presence is expected to add
some of the old color to the game.
Dick has been one Of the town S
most consistent tournament players
for years and can be counted on for
some fancy shots when on his game.

Voigt and Shafer Out,
Dope Reversed in
Contest Friday
WPA and Ageies Oppose
AT Same Time for
Class B Honors
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Bobby Brownell Maryland open
golf champion, and ace in the hole
for the Federal Bureau of Invastiga-
tion will play Friday for FBI against
Treasury in the final round of The
Star-sponsored Government match
play championship at Kenwood. 1t
will mark Bobby's first appearance
in the tourney, and that appearance
may toss a monkey wronch into the
whole situation surrounding the
class A championship. For where
FBI will be strengthened by the &C
QUESTION of Brownell, the Treasury
team, opposing fnalist, has been
weakened by absence Of two Of the
men who helped Treasury to a VIM
ming season in their section.
George j. Voigt, Treasury's No.
man through most of the early sea-
son, is in Chicago and will not be
available for the final match. E.
Maine Shafer, one of the Treasury
mainstays, cannot play. So Treas
ury is weakened, while FBI presum-
ably is strengthened. 1t may bring
about an upset Of the dope, which
previously had pointed to a Treasury
victory.
AS the situation now stands the
teams in the class A final will line
up this way:
Treasury-Bernie 1Iallock, Dick
Jennings, John r. Miller and either
Jack Palmer or Jim Wilmeth.
FBI - Bobby Brownell, Tommy
Webb, Harold Hair and John Clm-
perman.
Billy Shea, who has been one of
the FBI stalwarts in preceding
matches, will not be available for
the final match, but FBI won't be
weakened with the addition of
Brownell. The Maryland open
champ can go fast against any op-
position. Cimperman is former
Nebraska State star, and, accord
ing to Webb, is a golfer with plenty
of ability.
But it is too bad that both teams
couldn't be at their peak for the
final match. Treasury without
Voigt won't seem the same team,
nor will FB1 without Slea.
The Glass A match ana the final
In Glass B both will get under way
around 4 o'clock. The Glass 8
final will be played at Indian
Spring with Works Progress Ad-
n1inistration meeting Agriculture.
These teams will line up as fol-
lows:
WPA-George Borsari, Reginald
Manson. Henry Deel and E. L. Ho-
gan.
Agriculture-Wilbur Seay D. N.
Hevenner, Frank Gradoville, w. F.
Watkins and r. S. Sullivan.
This match looms strictly as a
tough one to forecast. Both teams
are strong, even in Glass B, and both
have long winning records in pre-
liminary play.

Dairy Farmers PoI|ed
On Order 10 Increase
Cream Price Here
Wholesale Dealers Also
Get Chance to Vote on
Wickurd Proposal

A poll of dairy farmers in Viz
ginia, Maryland, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania-the area supplying
Washington milk and cream-was
begun today by the Agriculture De-
partment in an effort to win ap-
proval for a change In marketing
regulations tentatively decreed yes
terday by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard.
The amendment would leave most
fluid milk at its present price, but
would boost the price of milk used
primarily for cream from s210 to
s3-57 per 100 pounds. The price
Of milk used for ice cream would
also be permitted to rise according
to formula which is expected to
be about IS cents per hundred.
Two-thirds of the dairy farmers
must approve before the amended
marketing agreement can be put in
force. The milk dealers, who must
pay the increased costs, will get
chance to vote for the agreement,
too. But II they disapprove and the
dairymen approve, the amendment
is expected to be put into effect by
special order of President Roosevelt.
The farmers vote is expected TO be
completed within a week.
There is no regulation of the re-
tail price of milk in Washington,
so the dealers may pass the price
boost along to consumers.
The Agriculture Department,
which buys penny milk" for dis
tribution to the underprivileged of
Washington. announced that under
the agreement 1t would be willing
to boost its payments for this prod
uct from s2.4o to s3.io per 100
pounds.

Temporary Buildings Seen
For Accounting Office Site

The Government may erect two
temporary buildings on the intended
site Of the new General Accounting
Once building, at Fourth and G
streets NV, it was said today at
the Public Buildings Administra-
tion. Uncertainty as to whether
reinforced concrete will be available
for the structure now contemplated
there is responsible for the posi-
bility of a change in plans.
1t was originally intended to
erect a 5000 600 Office but the short
age OF critical materials caused a
revision of the plans and it was
decided to erect a building that
would be partly Of a permanent
nature.
If 1t becomes impossible to get
material for the permanent portion,
the present plan will be scrapped
and the two "ternpos" submitted
to provide badly needed Office space
