U. s. Agents Probe Secret India Raw
 Gold Shipments

SAN FRANCISCO, (P)-Secret; service and customs agents are Investigating the operations of an international syndicate that is smuggling millions of dollars worth of raw gold to India.
 The smuggling activities, it was learned, are being carried out by plane and ship from the United States, mostly through San Fran cisco.
 Secret service agents admitted they are investigating the illegal gold shipments, but declined to reveal any of the results of their inquiry.
 Joining in the effort to smash the syndicate, customs officials ordered all trans-Pacific airlines to redouble their safeguards againts smuggling.
 Huge profits were said to be accruing to the smuggling ring. Gold purchased in the United States at the begged price of $35 an ounce can be sold in India for $93 to $100 an ounce.
 The San Francisco Examiner quoted an unnamed source as say ing investigators believe at least 300,000 ounces of gold are con- cealed in the area, awaiting ship ment. That quantity of gold, at the American begged price, would be worth $1O,5OO,0O0.
 Officials said the gold comes from mines in California's grass valley, Mexico and Alaska. They said it is processed into various forms to render it easier for Smugglers to hide.
 In one instance, $50,00O worth of spun gold was put inside the feed and oil lines of China bound plane. It is reported, though not confirmed, that this gold ex- banded with the heat, clogging the lines and causing the plane to crack up while en route over the Himalayan hump" to India.
 More than a year ago customs agents in San Francisco seized some spun gold concealed aboard the steamer China Bear. A sailer admitted he had been bribed to secrete it in the ships hull.

Il Championship Score

The finest championship golf
score of the year to date was
Claude Harmon's 279 at the Augusta
Nationals Masters show. It was
better than Ben Hogan's 275 at
Riviera, where the next open will
be played.
There have been endless discus
sions of what a championship
score should be, but Harmon has
slipped in the best answer to
date. The Augusta National was
keyed to its toughest test in every
way. Riviera wasn't, with its
rough cut, its baked-out fairways
and its soft greens.
I doubt very much that 283 will
be broken at Riviera in the Ma
tional Open. And Harmon happens
to be golfer who is quite capable
of winning a U. S. Open or the
PEA.

Hurlers Pitch Less Today

Feller-Newhouser - Blackwell -
Dickson-Munger Marchildon -
there wasn't a pitcher in the Amer
lean league last season who worked
300 innings. Teller and Newhouser
were the closest.
There wasn't pitcher in the Ma
tional league who worked 300 in
nings. SPAIN, Blackwell and Branca
were the closest - up around 280.
Today, someone you'd rate as an
average good pitcher works in less
than 200 innings-say 1870.
The decline in pitching - old
fashioned pitching - has been
startling. This means in games
pitched - in games finished - in
innings pitched - in bases on balls
in games won (from 30 to al q
season..
Walsh worked in 81 games one
season-winning 40 and saving IL
others. Today the pitcher who can
go nine innings without being re-
moved is local hero.
This is why we advise all kids
to start throwing. You won't have
to be too good. The pitchers we
rate as real pitchers this season
are Blackwell, Teller, Newhouser,
SPAIN, Dickson, Brecheen and pos
sibly Munger, Trout, Houtteman and
one or two from Connie Mack's
Athletic group; very likely Brissie;
he may be the best.

ArcarO's COn,eback

A year ago there was pretty fair
evidence that Eddie Arcaro was
slipping. The slender Italian from
Kentucky was still riding fairly
well, but he was no centaur. He
was booed around New York tracks
whether he won or lost. 1t came
to the point where it didn't matter
to him whether they booed or
cheered.
This was the situation when Ar
caro- headed for Santa Anita last
December. But on this occasion
his health was better. He was in
better condition. And suddenly
new ambition was born.
ut will be different out here this
time" he said. "It will be a lot
different"
Eddie began winning. He began
ostriding Longden, Reeves and
the rest of the outfit. When he
saw he couldn't win he was no
longer content to pull up and let
other horses place and show. Now
he was riding them out. All tho
way. He also was taking mar
row openings, riding recklessly at
times. He was the old Arcaro Of
winning years.
Then he came back East again.
He began winning on opening day
at Jamaica. He has been winning
ever since.

YOUNGSTERS WHO would like to
= make good money a few years
from now, and not work too hard,
should start throwing baseballs at
various targets.
The MP. (slang for National Pas
time) is running out Of pitchers.
The MP. needs more than double
its present allotment Of right or
left arms that can get the ball over
the plate with enough stuff to BAT
file the batter now and then.
Last year, for example, the Dodg-
ers were good enough to win 4
pennant with a pitching staff COM
posed Of three or four-inning hurl-
ers. They usually needed four or
five pitchers to finish out one game.
Yet they won pennant.
The American league had only
eight or 10 pitchers who we're able
to finish games. Both leagues were
shy of arms that could locate
plate or 60 the distance.
Old-time pitchers such as Ed
Walsh, Walter johnson, Christy
Mathewson, Pete Alexander and
Cy Young could individually out
pitch the greater part Of an en-
tire modern staff.
Bob Teller could and can handle
his share of work. So can Hal
Newhouser, Ewell Blackwell and
Warren SPAIN.
Few pitchers today can work $50
innings in season. johnson,
Walsh and other old-timers were
pitching more than 400 innings a
year. Any pitcher who can't work
$50 innings shouldn't be listed as
a starting pitcher. He is certainly
no part of a regular. Yet, few
pitchers now getting relieved around
the fourth inning could think of
working 200 innings without an at
tack of palsy.

QUESTION: l have a dark soft
wood floor that don't know what

I were to lay linoleum squares,

Education, Fire Prevention And
Improved Methods Help Forests

lima, have instituted statewide
forest control programs.
The pulp and paper industry
of the South as a whole is spend
ing $750,000 a year to protect its
lands, and to help educate timber
land owners of all kinds to the
need for fire. control and the best
methods Of achieving it.
AS small timberland owners
become tree farmers, aware of
the value of their forestland, and
its proper management as a source
of continuous income, great gains
will be made in reducing fire
damage and in expanding the
wealth of the South.
On the other hand, forest land
abused by careless cutting and
fire will produce no income for
its owner or the community.
Forest fire prevention and bet
ter forest management mean for

In 1916, there were 784 foresters
employed on private forest lands,
and 400 foresters in government
employ in the South.

The Southern Pulpwood Con-
