Golfers Are
Rdiined Out
So Are All Scores
In Chicago Event

CHICAGO, July IS tUP)-The
third round of the all-American
mems and womens Opens and
Amateur were postponed today
when driving rain began at 2:30
p. m. and showed no signs Of
letting up.
II is one Of the rare times In
tournament history that a major
championship event has been
postponed. The downpour turned
the nollows OF the Tam O'Shanter
golf course into small lakes and
made play impossible.
The pros were interrupted as
they played the third round in
the 72-hole mems Open tourna-
ment.
SCORES WIPED OUT
Ali scores posted today were
wiped out. Tomorrow players in
all three tournaments will make
fresh start from the marks
they held today at the end of sc
holes. =
1t was considered odd that the
womens scores were wiped out
since all of the players had COM
pleted their third round. Dorothy
Gernain of Philadelphia held q
two-stroke lead over Dot Kielty
of Los Angeles and defending
champion Betty Hicks of Chicago
Promoter George S. May, ruled
however, that a completely new
start would be made tomorrow
Among the scores washed ou,
today in the mems Open was q
II shot by Ralph Guldahl of Chi,
cago. which gave him a 54-hole
total of 211 strokes, FIVE under
par. Joe Zarhardt of Morristown

nm BILE officer and Wilmington a beloved cit
izen.
It is a notable fact which speaks much Tor
him that even though he was located IN WASH

roads passenger department he never lost con-
tact with Wilmington and his host OF friends
and when he returned re-entered the current
of affairs as smoothly as if there had been no
interruption in his life here.

tifty-one years, Mr.. James was an outstand-

and illustrated the company's beneficent policy
of holding its men and advancing them to
positions OF high responsibility as opportunity
offers.
It is with mutual sorrow that the company
and his friends mourn his loss.

Macarthur And Nimitz

The question of who will be in command
when the final drive against Japan is launch
ed. which has been discussed in the press and
BY the public for considerable time and GER
tainly has occupied the attention Of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff is answered-and we believe
TO the satisfaction bf everybody.
General Macarthur will be in top command
Of all ground operations and Admiral Nimitz
all operations at sea. Macarthur and Nimitz
have been working together long time and
10 far as the public knows always in complete
harmony. They form team of unquestion-
able ability.
The announcement that they will continue
to function as a team, each with supreme au-
throity in his field, cooperating with the Joint
Chiefs Of Staff in carrying out its strategy,
is well calculated to increase the confusion
and distress in Tokyo, in equal measure with
Russia's denunciation Of the Moscow-Tokyc
neutrality treaty

Way Over The Top

Wilmington and New Hanover county have
maintained their enviable reputation for gen.
crosby and support Of worthwhile enterprises
by over-subscribing the Red Cross war fund
quota by 500, 1886. Asked to raise $4,000 the
community went way over the top with 1927,
985.
No praise can be too great for this splendid
showing Besides the additional money thus
made available for Red Cross activities in all
theaters Of war it means that the Wilmington
chapter will be able to meet all anticipated
demands, and possibly some not anticipated,
during its fiscal year without running behind.

Two Signs OF Collapse

Two inescapable reasons for thinking the
war in Europe is all but ended have been pro-
vided this week.
The first was when James F. Byrnes re.
signed as assistant president He had tod
President Roosevelt he would remain at his
post until the Germans were defeated.
The second is Russia's denunciation Of its
neutrality treaty with Japan.
If anyone questioned the significance Of the
Byrnes resignation, this move by Moscow can
not be brought into doubt. 1t brings with it a
threat of Russian attack upon japan, and
Russia, wiser than Hitler, has no intention OF
fighting on two fronts.
Obviously Stain is convinced the Germans
are through. He would not place his armed for.
ces in the perilous position Of having to fight
in Europe and Asia simultaneously.

We shall have to push meat still more into
the background, and the basic food supplies
will therefore be ranged as follows: potatoes,
vegetable fats, meat. BY April all poultry ex-

We Germans are a kindly, gentle people.
Please be lenient with us. - Haustrau In the

The fact that we cannot yet have perfect

that we should do nothing. On the contrary, 1t
means that the nations should get started work

WASHINGTON CALLING s
by MIIM
MARQUIS CH1LDS &a%1I1,A

WASHINGTON, - Talking with
some of the new members of the
House and Senate, you get an inn
preston of slight bewilderment
They feel like spectators at big
parade, helpless to 90 more thar
stand on the sidewalk and watch
the exhibits 60 by.
This reaction is particularly in
teresting because the last election
brought some exceptional people
to Congress on both sides of the
political aisle-men and women
who had made careers for them
selves outside the ordinary chan.
nels of politics.
1t may be the time we're living
in. Any period so crowded from
day to day with extraordinary
events calling for extraordinary
action is bound to put a heavy
burden on Congress. But the fact
remains that many members have
a sense of hopelessness about the
flow of legislation that spills
across their desks.
Sensible members soon decide
that the only course is to special
ize. They fasten on subject
ordinarily one Of particular inter-
est back homeland concentrate
on that. While this has advan-
tages, it also has serious disad-
vantages, since it tend to accent
uate the business of special inter-
ests and special blocs.
Largely, it seems to me, the
dilemma of Congress grows out
Of a tirnid relucSance to accept the
techniques of the Goth century
world. The dead hand of the pas,
rests heavily on the machinery OF
the legislative branch OF our gov
eminent. Sometimes the echo OF
Webster and Hayne sounds louder
than the muffled voice Of the pres
ent.
That is why the work Of a con-
gressional committee headed by
Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Jr.,
of Wisconsin is particularly ilnpor-
tant right now. That committee,
through series of hearings, is
working out some recommends
tons to bring Congress up to date.
Whatever you may happen to
think about Senator LaFollette's
views on this question or that
question, he is recognized as one
of the foremost experts in the
country on legislative procedure
in other words, on how to get
things done. Long before he him
self came to the Senate-and that
was nearly 20 years ago-"Young
Bob" was secretary to his father,
fiery "Old Bob," SO he began to
learn very early what was wrong
with the creaky machinery Of our
national legislature
The other day. in commenting
on the testimony Of a witness be-
fore his committee, he made a
diagnosis Of Congress that inter-

Baton And Cupid's Arrow

Reno reports a romance budding between
Gloria Vanderbilt de Cicco and Leopold oto-
koysik, orchestra conductor. Not so many
years ago European sources reported sto-
kowski and Greta Carlo contemplated we'd
lock. They were seen together in many pop
ular tourist resorts and some not so popular,
but nothing came OF it.
AS Gloria is young and changeable as April
weather and Stokowski ageing, the Reno r1-
NOR is unreliable. The baton, we may well
believe, is a better weapon for the conductor
(although he no longer Yields it but witches
his index finger at the orchestra) than Cupid S
arrow.
