For Chinese Relief
Is Feud Plan Now
BY the Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is. - A
grudge match between Joe Kirkwood
whose shrieking plaid cap was
jammed angrily over his ears, and
50-year-old Walter Hagen, the Aus
tralian-born trick shot artists boon
companion on golfing junkets to the
far corners of the earth, lacked only
Hagen's acceptance today-and the
Haig was vacationing In the Michi-
gan north woods.
The Huntingdon Valley Country
Club pros offer to meet Hagen any
where. any time" for q $4,000 wager
drew an expression of interest from
J. Russell Gnau, head Of the Ryder
Cup Challenge Tournament Spon-
soring Committee. who suggested at

Meanwhile the Philadelphia sec
ton of the Professional Golfers As

ing tonight to consider the Incl
dent" at last weeks Ryder Cup

to offer a still unaccepted resigna-
ton from the PGA.
Hagen claims he beat me in a
practice round at Detroit. so I WASH t
good enough to play on his chal-
lenger squad" said Kirkwood. who
declared Hagen and Fred Corcoran,
PGA tournament manager, never
even had the decency to make any
excuse" for dropping him from the
lineup.
I'VE played only 10 holes. I hit
two balls on each hole-and never
bothered to putt out. since 1 had just
driven in from Pittsburgh and was
desperately tired"
Punches CorcOran's Nose
Then when Corcoran announced
to the newspapers that had refused
to play in Red Cross exhibition
match, after I had waited two days
to appear" Kirkwood related, that
was too much and punched him in
the nose. Did he hit back? No"
In Chicago Corcoran said he was
making a full report of the whole
affair to the PGA Executive Com

Skins Plot New PLAYS
In Till Next Week
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star STAFF Correspopdent

ALBUQUERQUE, NJ Mex. Aug. 18.
In huddle for hours on the first
leg of the train ride over the West
tern mountains, the Redskin board
of strategy emerged with new plays
for the college all-star game to be
played in Chicago a week from to-
day. Coaches Dutch Bergman and
Turk Edwards, aided by Sammy
Baugh and Bob McChesney in
drawing funny designs on endless
pieces of paper, came out of their
confab with the prediction that the
all-stars will find some battling new
stuff tossed at them.
Bergman knows the few plays he
revealed in the intrasquad Shrine
game at San Diego have been sent
back to Chicago for perusal by the
all-star coaching staff. AS a matter
of fact he revealed little but straight
power plays and passes knowing two
all-star coaches were in the stands,
SO in the main. the fundamentals of
the new Bergman what-is-it-system
have not been disclosed. The Red
skins have some new strategy in
addition to what they learned at
San Diego.
Only current casualty on the
squad is Ray Ruett, the Norfolk
boy who is on crutches with mus
Gle injuries and an infected toe
Ruett may be out for several more
days On the crowded train ready
to play at Chicago is Steve Bagarus,
the red hot Army noncom who
made a good showing at San Diego
but the Skins are not too happy
about failure to get Jack Jacobs
who was ball of fire in the Shrine
game. Coach Bergman points to
lnequities in a situation which per-
mits the all-stars to use former
pro stars such as Steve Juzwik
while the Redskins cannot on orders
from Pro Football Car Layden
use Jacobs. Bergman also points to
a league vote earlier in the year
permitting the Redskins to use
picked men from all clubs in the
all-Star game.
Some of the boys have had to
double up sleeping two in a mar
row berth on this slow train. which
was due in Chicago this morning
1t isn't too good for bunch of
we'll trained football players facing
tough game week hence but
accommodations are the best OBJ
talnable with the armed forcas
travelling en- maSse.

 The enemy cruiser, moored to the dock, was enveloped in flames. A cargo ship also was hit.
 A Jap fighter crashed into one Liberator, both going down. Heavy anti-aircraft fire was encountered.

President Would Raise
 Aqe Limii 10 Draff All
 Miners Who Won't Work

WASHINGTON. June 24. - The President said he intended to ask Congress to raise the age limit for non-combat military service to 65 years under the Selective Service Act as a means of meeting any future threat of interruption of work at plants, mines or establish ments owned or operated by the Government.
 He asserted in a statement pre- pared before the leaders of the United Mine Workers decided to direct the coal miners to go back en the job:
 The Government has taken steps to set up machinery for in- ducting into the armed service all miners subject to the Selectiye Ser vice Act who absentee themselves without just cause from work in mines under Government opera ticn"
 The President said it was a good thing the miners were returning after interrupting coal production for the third time within a short period and slowing down war pro- duction.
 "The action of the leaders of the United Mine Workers and the coal miners is intolerable. It has rightly stirred up anger and disapproval in an overwhelming mass of the American people, the President added.

 Government Owned
 The Pacific Great Eastern, owned by the British Columbia Govern ment, runs from Squamiss to Quesnel.

German Press Chief Warns Balkans Must Be
 Watched

LONDON, June 24.-A German press chief declares that "in this hour fraught with tension" tn signs indicate an Allied offensive directed primarily against Italy, but of course the other Mediter- ranean coasts, especially the Bal kans, must be watched, too"
 Expects Invasion
 Italy is expecting invasion" said Erich Schneyder. editor in chief of the German news agency, Trans ocean, in a Berlin radio broadcast recorded by the Associated Press.
 The Allied preparations for an assault, he asserted, included "a concentration of warships especial ly il. Gibraltar and Alexandria, , fleets of landing craft including tank carriers and troop concentra- tions, among them strong para chute units" of British soldiers.
 Anxiety Haunts Them
 But all this, said Schneyder, be- traying the anxiety haunting the Axis peoples, does not guarantee" an attack against Italy. The plan, he said, might be simply to try for Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and not the Italian mainland, ill order to clear the Mediterranean.
 The advantages of invasion of European territory in the center of the Mediterranean are obvious, D he said, describing Italy as a land with trains full to bursting" as great armies" were lined up to repulse any landing.
