NeIson.P Winner,
Boosts His Season

y the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13-By-
ron Nelson, golfdom's most ardent
bookkeeper, posted three more en-
tries in his elaborate set of ledgers
today after his triumph in the
Philadelphia Inquirer's sl7,500 invi-
tation tournament.
The Toledo umbrella salesman
finished with four consecutive birds
yesterday to register 60 that went
into one book as a course record for
the Llanerch Country Club links.
The 1853 that gave him a two
stroke lead over Harold (Jug) Nc
Spaden of Philadelphia, served to
reduce his average for his last six
tournaments to 6745 strokes per
round and this was recorded In an
other ledger.
Season Winnings Total S27,94S.33.
Then in the most important VOL
ume he listed the S3,33333 paid to
the winner of the links test played
for the benefit of the Professional
Golfers Association rehabilitation
fund.
1HdI last entry IS sure 10 go IN
the book" said Nelson with laugh
as he visited press headquarters
following his latest triumph.
His books now show entries of
S27 ,940.33 for this season, 10 tourna-
ment triumphs in 20 starts, and 10
OF his last IA rounds in better than
70 per round.
Nelson started earning his Twill
hood as a bookkeeper in a Texas
railroad station. When he switched
to golf, his former habits stayed
with him.
In the face of Nelson's machine
like golf the rest of the field was
helpless, McSpaden finishing with
three straight rounds of IS and sec
ond place.

Statehood for Hawaii
In Immediate Future
Proposed by Ickes
BY the Associated Press.

oS thc ASsoSiotcd
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
recommended today that Hawaii
be admitted to statehood "in the
immediate future"
1.-THE record of the people Of
Hawaii during the war clearly in
dicates that further postponement
will be unnecessary" he declared in
statement.
The Secretary's stand came as a
surprise in view of his remark at
his last press conference, three
weeks ago, that he doubted very
much" he would make a recon-
mendation before 1916. -.
Disturbed Over Control.
He asserted then he was disturbed
by the economic control that five
families exert over there" and would
be better pleased eff it really were
democratic institution instead. oil
an oligarchy" .r
In his statement today Mr.. Ickes
said the Interior Department be-
lieves that the concentration oil
economic control of which some
people have complained can better
be handled by the people themselves
under statehood with the assistance
they viii have from the Fedora
Government" t#
Hawaii was annexed to the United
States in 1893 and has been a Terri.
tory since 1900 The Division OF
Territories and Island Possessions i,

To Visit Hawaii.
| Congress, which will have the
final say on whether Hawaii be.
comes the 49th State, already is pre-
pairing to look into the Territory:
qualifications. A House Territories
Subcommittee, which may be &C.
companied by some Senate Terri
tories Committee members, will visit
Hawaii next month.
Territorial Delegate harrington
Republican, hailed Secretary Ickes
statement as the most significant
contribution to the movement fol-
statehood for Hawaii since the
people of the islands, in a plebiscite
in 1910, requested by congressional
committee to determine their wishes
voted 2 to ! in favor of statehood. >
Hawaii's population is approx.
mately 100000, with many racia
groups represented. Despite this, Mr.
Ickes said, the people of Hawai-
Give and function as unified
American community" with little
evidence of bloc voting along racia
lines"
Economically, Hawaii is CLOSELY
tied to the mainland. Most of it.
manufactured goods come from tn.
States. The States take most of tn,
products of Hawaii's two major in.
dustries, sugar and pineapples.

10000 els Stranded
ION West Coast 10 Miss
Christmas al Home

At least 10000 veterans of Pacific
campaigns will eat their Christmas
turkey in West Coast staging areas
far from home because there are in
SUFFICIENT trains ito move them, the
War Department warned last night.
The statement came after Col. j !.
Monroe Johnson, director OF de-
Tense transportation, told Senate
committee he expects the bottleneck
to be cleared by January /. He told
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee nobody would fret about
this if it weren't for Christmas;
there is nothing that can be done
that isn't being done to expedite the
movement of these men"
Increasing its previous estimate
that $4,000 servicemen would be
spending Christmas in staging areas,
the War Department said troopships
were bringing them into ports faster
than trains can move them out. The
movement of troops eastward by
rail increased 1000 a day recently
but ships brought them In even
faster.
Few, if any, of the troops now on
the West Coast will be home for
Christmas" said the War Depart
ment announcement.
The statement gave this account
of the situation in various ports,
both East and West Coasts for the
period December 81 through 26:
San Francisco-Schedu arrival
OF 24,423 men on 81 ships Expected
backlog for Christmas more than

Mr.. Reuther said he understood
GIN still was debating the question
of whether to go along with the
board or to withdraw.
Earlier, the corporation and union
agreed to meet in Detroit next
Wednesday for discussions of de-
mands made upon GIN by local plant
unions. Mr.. Reuther said he was
hopeful the negotiations would be
broadened to consider the 80 per
cent wage issue. Mr.. Garrison told
the parties that if they need addi-
tional time for negotiating, his panel
hearings would be postponed beyond
December %.
1.-THE board is firmly OF the view
that the strike can and should be
settled BY agreement of the parties,
and that collective bargaining in
this case has not yet proved ade-
quate to its proper tasks" the board
statement read. THE board urges
upon the parties the necessity of
making a fresh and determined eff
fort to settle their differences

action by the Government" |

Col. r. Glen Squirting of Louisville

facts of Gen. Patton's death:
Until the morning of Decembel

progress. His general condition wa:
good and he was confident he would
! recover.
THE first untoward sign was wher
he had .difficulty raising secretion;
from his bronchial tubes. J flsy%.
AT approximately am. yester.
day he had an acute attack o.
breathlessness and palor. The at,
tack lasted about an hour and h,
was relieved by medication. At tina
time we felt relatively sure the gen.
eral had pulmonary dung embo'
ism"

clot probably originated in his In
jured neck and was pumped by tn,
heart to the right lung, causing q

Anybody. particularly an oldeI
person and especially one who i

I! The specialist explained that the

Patton's lungs, and that though h
recovered from the initial shock tina
morning, his lungs filled up with
mucus.
All efforts to stop the increase II
the flow of mucus were futile, Col
Squirting said, and early yesterday
morning Gen. Patton showed sign,
of heart failure.
Col. Squirting revealed that Gen
Patton had suffered two embolism,

|Newsprint Controls
Ito Be Lifted Dec. 81
Despite Short Supply
By the Associated Press.


Government controls on use OF
newsprint win be lifted December
81, but supply is expected to remain
short OF demand. -
In ordering revocation OF all but
inventory restrictions, the Civilian
Production Administration estimate
ed that about ! 1886 900 tons of news
print will be available to United
States publishers during the first
half Of 1916. This is SO per cent of
supply in the same period of 1871.
while this is not adequate to
meet demands" CPA said, "it is con-
sidered sufficient to warrant revoca-
ton of the order in view of recon-
mendations of the industry"
A pledge by the American News
paper Publishers Association to see
that no newspaper suspends publ
cation for lack of newsprint" was
an important factor in CPA's deci-
sion yesterday to cancel the ration
ing order, LAO.
ANPA has Endorsed a so-called
New England plan under which
publishers agree to set aside up TO
|3 per cent of their newsprint ton
mage for any papers threatened with
suspension because they cannot OBJ
tain newsprint
j. Hale Steinman, director of
CPA's Printing and Publishing Di-
vision, said newspapers required to
draw on such pool would be per-
mitted to publish an eight-page
daily paper.
Mr.. Steinman said the plan calls
for State and regional reserves.
CPA Administrator John D.
Small stressed, however. that if this
voluntary plan should break down.
the Government will act promptly
to reinstitute newsprfnt controls.
either through general order or
through use. of the priorities power
in special cases"
Under the newsprint rationing
order, which went into effect jan
uary l, 1943, newspapers have been
limited to certain percentage of
the paper they used during 1941.
Inventory restrictions are being
continued, CPA said, to prevent
amy unreasonable accumulation OF
the available supply"
