Mrs. Douglas Asks
for ERP
In Dinner Talk

The collapse of Great Britain
and Europe would mean collapse
of the United Nations, Representa-
tive Helen Gahagan Douglas OF
California predicted last night in
an address before the Womans Ma
tional Democratic Club.
Speaking at a dinner meeting
Mrs. Douglas urged support of the
European Recovery Program as a
practical, dynamic program for
peace"
IF we are to build a world free
from war, collective security mus
be made a reality" she declared
Collective security depends on col
lective strength. If economic col
lapse, with resultant political chaos
engulfs Europe, collective security
is lost.
Collective security based only on
two nations, each the center OF a
group of satellite. powers, isn't COL
lective security at ALL" the speaker
added. The Marshall Plan would
nelp restore Great Britain and Eu-
rope as two great pillars of our
civilized world"
Mrs. Douglas emphasized that the
European Recovery Program is not
an anti Russian program.
TT is a program of planned
United States aid that has been Of
fered to all of Europe-including
Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union" she pointed out.
Russia has refused to cooper
ate" she continued. Eastern Eu-
rope has followed her lead. The
United States has not closed the
door to them-but Europe cannot
wait"
Calling the Marshall Plan a pro-
gram of ''lend-lease for peace" she
declared: when we extended lend
lease in the war to save the world
from conquest and oppression, We
did not know what Russia would
do. We did not wait. We acted.
To-day" she added, I'VE do not
know what Russia will do and again
we cannot wait"

hole and went over par on the Sec
ond and 18th.
FavGrites Start Late.
Most of the favorites were late
starters, including Lloyd Mangrum,
Bobby Locke, Ben Hogan, Jimmy
Demaret and Worsham.
The four-day chase officially
opened the PGA's summer tour, but
there was nothing summery about
the 50-degree temperature that
greeted the early starters. There
was hurried borrowing of sweaters
and heavy shirts among the visitors
for the first of the daily 18-hole
rounds.
The 6,800-yard course, soaked by
rains that forced a postponement of
yesterdays scheduled clinic until 5
pm. Saturday, was a much tougher
Layout than last year Four new
greens, constructed last year under
the impression this event would be
held in June, were opened for the
first time.
Summer Rules in Force.
Summer rules were in force, which
means the ball could not be touched
from tee to green. Players were per-
mitted to repair ball marks on the
green and to wipe the ball. The only
exception to summer rules was that
if ball was buried on the new 18th
fairWay, it would be dropped without
penalty.
The PGA'S new 14-club rule was
in effect (the previous limit was 16)
and clubs were being checked as
to- excessive grooves which would
produce too much backspin. All
players had ample warning, how
ever.
With the National Open cham
pion CWorsham), the PGA titlist
Jim Ferrier), the National Anna
teur champion (Skee RiegeD, the
defending champion and leading
money winner GMangrum) and last
years top money winner Demaret)
in addition to Locke and Hogan en-
tered. it was foolhardy to select an
outstanding favorite.
WOrsham Much Improved.
There was more than hometown
sentiment behind those who liked
WorSham, however, as Washington's
National Open champion admittedly
is playing the finest golf of his
career. He tied for fourth last year
and is much better golfer today.
The most prominent of the late
entries was Clayton Heafner, the
big fellow from Charlotte, who re-
quired 18 stitches in his left hand
when he grabbed a piece of jagged
pipe while attempting to fix a hotel
room fixture less than a month ago.
Three name players withdrew.
England'S eX-British Open Champion
Henry Cotton, former National Anna
teur Champion Dick Chapman and
Fred Haas, New Orleans pro, were
late scratches which left the start
ing field at 119.

Juror Forces MisiriaI
In 7 Suits by Marine;
Settlement Now Seen

\ A jurors admission of possible
prejudice resulted today in o mis-
trial being declared in District
/ Court on two suits in which a
much-decorated Marine Corps cap
tain and his wife seek damages
against man they accused of
entering their former home without
invitation.
There then developed the possi-
bility that the two suits may now
be settled out of court without
again going to trial, according to
counsel
The two suits had been combined
for trial which began yesterday.
Both Capt. Joseph j. Reardon, U. S.
M. c., and Mrs. Reardon charged
Walter K. Handy, jr., an analyst
in the Treasury Department, with
entering their former home in the
900 block of South Buchanan street,
Arlington, which he had rented to
them in behalf of his father-in law
Total of $4,000 Asked.
In addition, Capt. Reardon also
sought $4,000 damages for alleged
libel contained in a letter said to
have been written by Mr.. Handy
to Maj. Gen. A. A. Vandegrift,
former commandant of the Marine
Corps. The two suits sought a total
of $40 900 damages.
Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut de-
clared mistrial after having been
informed by the juror that he might
not be able to render a verdict OBJ
jectively and that he was afraid he
already mad formed an opinion.
Justice Schweinhaut discharged the
jury, leaving the case open, tech
nically, for a new trial. Counsel
then indicated, however, that the
two suits may be settled out of court.
Capt. and Mrs. Reardon now live
in Parkfairfax, Alexandria. Va.
Testifying yesterday, Mrs Rear
don said Mr.. Handy walked into her
home in November and December,
1916. On the second occasion, he
insisted she go down a flight of
stairs SO he could show her how to
operate the furnace, although she
was pregnant at the time. she said.
Three Incidents Charged.
Capt. Reardon testified Mr.. Handy
had entered the home on three oc-
casions. Twice, the officer said Mr..
Handy went. to Mrs. Reardons bed
room door while she was dressing.
Capt. Reardon said he was
wounded on Corregidor and was in
the Bataan death march. He was
awarded the Silver and Bronze
stars and Presidential Army and
Navy citations.
Capt. and Mrs. Reardon are rep
resented by Attorney John Paul
Jones. Mr.. Handy, who lives in An
napolis. Md, is represented by At
