A. Stewart not to accept the po-
sition of judge Of juvenile court,
it is probable that another appoint
ment will be made at the Wednes'
day meeting of the City Council,

last night.
Stewart, who was appointed te
the juvenile post by the council
August 2, stated yesterday after
returning to the city from vacation,
that ''my duties as director of the
Brigade Boys club will prevent my
accepting the position.
'The Brigade boys are starting
on a full year of activity, and
feel that in my work with thu
club I can render better service
to the community's juveniles thar
I could as judge of the court. .
he declared.
1--WE are preventive, not a
cure for juvenile delinquency. The
work is important and requires
my full efforts" he said.
II appreciate very much the
honor done me by the City coun'
Gil, and regret very much my in
ability to accept the work." Stew
art concluded.
Mrs. j. c. Layton, officer Of
the juvenile court, has been serv.
ing as acting juvenile judge since
the post was vacated by Edgar
L. Vow, who was required to leave

PEA MEET PACED
BY DARK HORSE

| SFOhAINE, wash, Aug. lf-tHf
Little Freddie Annon, one Of the
dark horse contenders among the
country's golf professionals, scram
bled around the Mantle course ir
below par fashion today to lead {
! classy field in the first round Of
the 36-hole qualifying test for the
1914 National P. G. A. champion
ship.
His 34-34-68 against a $685.:
par course, was good enough tt
set the pace not only for the two
leading performers of the year
Byrn Nelson of Toledo, O., anc
Harold McSpaden of Philadelphia
but many another star and former
champion.
Annon, 30-year-old defense plant
worker of Mamaroneck, N. Y, ano
spare-time golf instructor, had to
hustle for his leading score; he
strayed off the fairways and batted
balls over green's but a putter that
seldom failed saved him time ano
again. He couldn't miss when he
got on the greens.
His .four-under par enabled him
to steal the first day show of the
seven-day event and people were
asking ''Who is Annon?"
Trailing him with 69's were By
ron Nelson, former U. S. open and
P. G. A. champ; Ed Dudley OF
Colorado Springs, president of the
P. G. A., and Morrie Gravatt OF
Williamsport, Pa, also an outsider.
Nelso turned in 1888; Dudley
and Gravatt posted 1884. Harold
McSpaden of Philadelphia, leading
bond winner of the year, shared
the 70-station (36-34) with Bob
Hamilton. Evansville, Ind. (36-34
and Willie Goggin, White Plains,
N. Y, who paired up 34s.
The only others to break par
with us were Joe Zarhardt. Har-
ristown, Pa, 1874, and John Cert
sen, Salt Lake City, 1888.
Ven-par figures were wooed by
Steve Savel, Schenectady, N. Y,
1884; Thurman Edwards, Winston
Salem, N. c., 1896; Mark Fry,
Oakland, 35-37, and Sam Byrd,
Redfor, Mich, 1896.
Back a ways were such big
names as Craig Wood of Mamaro-
neck, U. S. Open title holder for
the duration, with 39-35-74; Tony
Manero. Stamford, Conn.,, National
Open champion in 1886, with 37-37
ID; Harry Cooper of Minneapolis
39-35-74; Jimmy Hines, Amster-
dam, N. Y, 38-36-74; and Olin
Dutra Of Los Angeles, Ex-national
open and P. G. A., winner, with
1858.
An outstanding performance over
looked in the rush was turned in
by Dave Martin of Fresno, Calf.
He had a 38-36-74 and played on
a knee so badly swollen he had
had water tapped from it several
times. He wrenched his knee dur
ing practice round last Thursday.
The field of SO (cq) starters teed
off today under drastic rules
change, elimination of the tradition
al stymie. Tournament committee
members on the grounds voted last
night to remove this regulation
from their national title event. A
majority of the entries were pleas
ed with the change.

Agreement Reached
By Conference Group
On GI Bill Of Rights
Posso9e Expected Next
Week; JobIess Benefits,
School Aid Provided
By the Associated Press,

Final agreement was reached
today by a Senate House confer
ence committee on a "G.I. Bill of
Rights" setting up a broad pro-
gram of benefits for the men
and women who come back from
the war.
Passage of the legislation early
next week appeared probable.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, said the Senate would be
asked to approve the measure Mon
day and the House was expected to
approve the bill and send it to the
White House shortly afterward.
I think we've got good BILL, -
Senator Clark asserted.
Only one major point remained in
disagreement when the Senate
House committee met this morning
and 1t did not take them long to get
together on that. 1t is a Senate
originated provision to establish a
veterans job placement service
within the framework of the United
States Employment Service. The
House originally wanted to create a
separate placement agency for vet
erans within the Veterans Admin
istration.
Senator Clark said the House and
Senate conferees agreed unani-
mously on the bill of rights in its
final form.
Senator Clark, chairman of the
Senate conferees, told reporters that
only one conference vote was cast
yesterday against a provision to
make available a maximum of So
weeks of unemployment compensa-
ton to jobless veterans for the first
two years after discharge at a rate
OF $40 a week. The lone dissenting
vote was by Representative Rankin
Democrat, of Mississippi, chairman
of the House conferees.
The House had voted to limit pay
mentS to Is weeks at $40 a week
while the Senate had voted So weeks
on a graduated scale allowing SIS
for single men and women, $40 for
husbands and $25 for fathers.
Other provisions of the bill agreed
on earlier include one providing for
private loans to veterans at per
cent interest, with the Government
guaranteeing 40 per cent, up to a
$4,000 maximum of the amounts of
the individual loans. Another would
give veterans years schooling with
the Government paying $500 tuition,
"a subsistence allowance of $50 a
month, plus $25 for a dependent S
upkeep.

Bill 10 Raise Debt Limit,
Cut Cabaret Tax Siqned

President Roosevelt has signed
legislation increasing the national
debt limit from s210, 900 ,o00, 900 to
$3.50 900 ,000, 900, the White House an
nounced today.
The bill also cuts the cabaret tax
from 30 to 20 per cent, effective
July 10.
The debt limit was raised to clear
the way for the opening Monday of
the Fifth War Loan campaign for
SIG, 900 100000.
The public debt now is approx
imately s18500o, 900 900, as compared
with $4,000 000, 900 in July, 1910,
when the armament program was
started.
The night club tax was raised
from to 80 per cent last April /.
Backers of the reduction to 20 per
cent said the 80 per cent levy had
thrown entertainers out of work
and that the Government was
losing revenue because of a decline
in night club business.

Advance Headquarters Set Up
In France by 9th Air Force
First Allied Planes Go Into Action
From Bases on French Soil

One purpose of the attacks was
to prevent the German air forces
from building up air support for
Marshal Erwin Rommels forces in
Normandy.
The blow against the airfields was
delivered by up to 500 American
Flying Fortresses and Liberators
which took quick advantage of the
improved weather. The British
night and American day heavy
bombers also hammered the Etam-
pes rail junction 80 miles from
Paris, key troop dispatching point
for the Germans.
Bombing enemy targets as close as
a mile to the Normandy battle lines,
American Marauders and Havocs
swept over a 15-mile stretch, rocking
German positions. These planes
ducked under an overcast to strike
from the unusually low altitude of
$500 feet, and the tail gunners
silenced one anti-aircraft battery as
they swooped past. Targets near
the French coast were bombed
through clouds with secret devices.
The several hundred Mustangs,
Lightnings and Thunderbolts which
went out escorting the bombers
made strafing attacks on the Ger
mans.

three earlier raids attempted unsuc-
cessfully to bring the Romanian re-
fining industry to standstill.
All other major refineries in the

active by the heavy bombers, and
the total output of the Romanian
producers has been cut an estimated
