Faith Of Owner by
Taking Hunter Title
By Lory lawrence

Faith works wonders, sayeth the
prophet, and today Mrs. George p.
Greenhalgh Is certain the prophets
have something. Yesterday Trau-
merton, for years q disappointment
to the Greenhalgh's famous Springs
bury Stables, justified Mrs. Green
halgh's faith in the son OF imported
Traumer-Sunburn by taking the
hunter championship at the Meadow
brook horse show before q crowd of
4,200 enthusiastic fans.
While an outstanding mount In
the hunt field, Traumerton never
seemed horse-show minded. To him
horse shows were a bore and she
showed his disapproyal with all
things connected with the arena by
rearing up on his hind legs and max
ing faces at the judges.
Wins Several Honors.
He would nonchalantly knock down
jumps that in the hunt field he
would clear by q foot. Yesterday
the fans saw q different Traumer-
tan.
Under the able plotting Of Betty
Bosley and Earl Phelps he took the
tricolor with Is points, winning the
hunter hack, taking second in the
working hunter stake and yellow
ribbons in the road hack, model and
ladies working hunter.
Reserve hunter tricolor was award
ed DR.. Paul Y. Rosenberg's Hylo
Ladd, whose performance, under the
riding Of his former owner, Martin
Vogel, jr, seems to improve with
each successive show He piled up
10 points, winning in the working
hunter stake, taking second in the
open and picking up minor awards.
Open Title to Black Flyer.
The open jumper championship
was taken easily by e. A. Haeussler's
Black Flyer, the only jumper in the
show which seemed to be UP to his
usual form. Most of the leapers
made kindling of the go-as-you-
please course which Black Flyer, with
his owner aboard, took with only
four faults In 37.4 seconds. His win
IN this event as well as the touch
and out and the jumper stake, plus a
third in the warmup, added up to a
score of II points.
The knock down and out came
nearest to the type OF competition
Capital fans expect. After four
1umpoffs, w. G. Wars HI Jack, rid
den by Garth War, took the blue
over Margaret Aitcheson's Wye, who
added to his blue in the warmup
brought him reserve championship
with 10 points.

Congressional Opens
Greatest Program
In Club 'sHisfory

Congressional Country Club mem
bers, who struggled patiently
through 1s46, putting up with the
Inconvenience caused by the course
being used as an OSS training
ground during the war years, have
discarded their temporary slogan
"Wait until next year."
This is Conl nlressional's big year,
starting with the official opening
day on Thursday, April "a. The
new green's on the second and sixth
holes, both tremendous improve
ments, will be put into play on that
day.
The bitches on holes 2, 4, and 10
have been elerninated and the rock
quarry on the 18th has been filled
= and seeded. Other new greens and
. number Of new tees are under
construction. The clubhouse has
been renovated and redecorated.
Improvements have been made to
the grounds, pool and tennis
courts.
President Floyd D. Akers has the
most ambitious program in the
clubs history already in operation.
Golf Committee Chairman F. E. Nc
Ardle is preparing the tournament
schedule, to be announced this week
Pro Witty Cox Is back, which is good
news to Congressional members. Cox
imported greenskeeping supervisor
last week from New York to apply
the finishing touches to the course.
He has spent almost the entire win
ter at the club and 80 per cent of
that time on the course. And a new
nine at Congressional again is under
discussion.
Bobby Brownel1 and Ralph Bo-
CART, who lost only one match last
year in full season of competition,
including a number Of challenge

take a respite from tournament
golf between the Masters tourna-
ment and the approaching Middle
Atlantic PQA championship, was
scheduled to compete in the first
local tournament Of the season to-
day, a MAPGA pro-amateur at
Woodholme in Baltimore.
Worsham will be on the spot In

18th of the tee-but three-putted.
He finished with q SO, however,
three under perfect figures.

PORTAL TO PORTAL:
Claims Mount

As union claims against industry
for back pay for walking to the
Job or preparing for work on COM
pany property mounted to over half
Q billion, tax experts opined that
Uncle Sam may have to bear the
burden Of the settlements if the
firms are permitted to obtain tax
credits for such disbursements.
Although John L. Lewis first
pointed up the question Of so-called
portal to portal pay for miners
travelling to the coal faces under
ground, the principle was given in
dustry-wide implications with the
Supreme courts decision unfolding
such compensation retroactive to
1888 for employees of the Mount
Clemens, Mich, Pottery company.
The Supreme court verdict was
followed by rush of the major
CLIO unions for such retroactive
back pay, with the United Farm
Equipment and Metal Workers su-
ing International Harvester for 100
million dollars. Since employees
have been paid for 40 hour week,
the unions are asking for overtime
pay plus damages.
Firms may be able to charge off
back payments to Uncle Sam under
provisions of the income tax law
permitting companies to carry back
net operating losses into the two pre-
ceding years and also apply such
losses in two succeeding years.
Meanwhile, the U. S. Chamber
Of Commerce polled its member
ship on congressional amendment
Of the fair labor standards act of
1898 under which portal to portal
pay has been based. The chamber
proposed ~ observance of custom,
practice or agreement in different
localities or industries as to work
ing rules; (2) provision for relief
for unwilling violation of the law,
and (3) permission Of companies
and unions to make compromise
settlements.

QUAKE:
Rocks Japan

As hundreds of thousands of JAP
anese made homeless by earthquake
and tidal wave shivered in the win
try air, the U. S. rushed relief to the
distressed areas.
Having become used to the shock
and terror of wartime BIG raids,
the Japanese accepted the catastro-
phe with resignation, calmly count
ing their dead and injured in the
thousands and their property dam
age in the millions. No less than "a
of the At procedures felt the trem-
ors, with the coastal regions Of
southern Honshu, Shikoku and Avail
islands swept by seven foot walls Of
water rushing in from the sea.
All Of the horror and distress was
portrayed by the Tokyo newspaper
Asahi in an eyewitness report from
Shikoku: First, startled people felt
the ground shaking beneath them,
then they could hear a great roaring
sound. Stumbling from their quak-
ing houses, they rushed for high
ground, but many were overtaken
by surging wall Of water and their
screams rent the air. Some people
saw little girl with a doll crying,
Save me, gentle Buddha," but
when they returned to search for rel
atives the fearful child was miss
ing and all they could find was the
doll, wedged between planks on the
beach.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
Red Tdpe

The sullen Russians continued to
keep overseas relations with U. S.
military personnel on strictly for
NAL basis as illustrated in their Or
der to an American naval vessel to
clear out of Dairen, Manchuria,
within the prescribed 48 hours.
The Les 1890 entered Dairen as
diplomatic courier ship to bear
supplies and mail to the U. S. con-
sui. Legally, the vessel was per-
mitted to remain only 48 hours, and
the Russ ordered the Americans to
leave or accept the consequences
when it appeared they might be de-
layed over efforts to obtain landing
clearance for a Standard Vacuum
Oil company employee, a newspa-
per correspondent and a magazine
photographer.
Russian authorities in control of
Dairen had given the U. S. consul
the run-around in his attempts to
secure permission for the three
to land. However, their action
stemmed from a fear to grant the
clearance without prior approval
from their masters in Moscow rath-
er than personal feeling.

INDO.CHINA:
Imperial Headache

France was the latest European
power to suffer an imperial head
ache, with Indo-Chinese natives bat
ting French forces for extension of
self-government.
Under a compromise effected last
March, France granted self-rule to
several provinces but retained con-
troll over the rest of the country as
lever for continued dominance.
Awaiting themselves of a well-oiled
machine developed under Japanese
auspices during the wartime occu-
patton, the native leaders of the Wet
Nam Independence party) have
pressed for an extension of their
self-rule.
Not yet able to grant all of French
Indo-China independence and be as
sured of the protection of its COM
mercial interests in the rich Far
Eastern country, France has been
forced to use troops to retain a grip
in the absence of an agreeable COM
promise.

TONS"
Harding's "normalcy" and Cool
idge's conservatism temporarily did
end our internationalism. But their
next choice was Herbert Hoover,
who had been speaking with contin-
ual concern over conditions affect
ing the less privileged. In 1928, for
example, he had called on the in
surance companies to study unem-
ployment insurance; he had en-
dorsed an amendment abolishing
child labor; he had frightened the
reactionaries to death when he pro-
posed the, inheritance tax to "redis-
tribute overswollen fortunes"
Going further back into history,
we note that after three successive
victories, the Republicans, even
when they had majorities in both
houses, did not repeal so-called
reform" measures passed up to
1900. When they returned to
power in 1921, although attempts
were made to do so, such meas
ures as the income and inheritance
taxes were not abolished, or reduced
to an empty gesture. Yesterdays
radical is tomorrow's conservative.

influence of western and southern
states which had already, by means
of state primaries or other subter-
fuge, managed to take the choice
Of senators out Of the hands Of the
state legislatures.
The Republicans benefited by the
failure Of the Democrats to main
tain a West-South alliance, but they
now suffer in turn from other Sec
tional and theological cleavages. I
heard one man remark the other
day that two recent speeches, one
by Senator Morse, Republican Of
Oregon, and the other by Senator
Byrd, Democrat Of Virginia, each
expressed views much more In line
with the opposite party's than with
their own organizations. There are
many other similar anomalies in the
Both congress, as there were in the
last session.
The belief that the extreme con-
servatives will be in the saddle
ready to ride rough-shod over any
liberal move Is not generally sup
ported. True - history has shown
that the American people can stand
just so much reform at time. But
on the other hand they have seldom
been willing to sacrifice past social
gains. Consequently, when the Re-
publicans have been swept into Of

New Freedom" they have been
very chary of repeating laws which
were passed, in answer to a de-
mand for new privileges for the
