They were Wallace Whatley and
Helen Woods and they preceded

The queen was regal in white
satin deliberately garnished with
rhinestones and sequins. Her
train of silver fell from a Medici
collar heavily embroidered in
brilliants and sequins. Her crown
was of rhinestones.
The king was in regulation

Justice Groner Named
As Special Master In
|Tide|ands Oil Case
BY the Associoted Press

Chief Justice Vinson today ap-
pointed D. Lawrence Groner to serve
as special master in the California
tidelands oil case.
Justice Groner retired March
as chief justice of the United States
Court of Appeals here.
Justice Vinson made the appoint
ment under a formal order issued by
the Supreme Court on June 81. In
making the appointment, Justice
Vinson stated:
"The special master shall have
authority to summon witnesses, is
sue subpoenas and to take such evi-
dence as he may deem necessary"
Veteran Jurist Is IA.
Justice Groners IA years old, is
a veteran Federal jurist who has
had wide experience with marine
and coastal legal procedure.
Before his appointment to the
Court of Appails here, he served
from 1921 to 1881 as Federal Judge
for the Eastern District of Virginia.
He previously served as United
States attorney for the same district.
Born in Norfolk, Justice Groner
is a graduate of Washington and
Lee and Virginia Universities. He
began the practice of law in Norfolk
in 1894.
Urged by California.
The special master will take evil
dence on conflicting claims made by
California and by the Justice De-
partment to coastal lands having
rich oil deposits.
Appointment of a special master
was urged by California. The Su-
preme Court has decreed that the
United States has paramount rights
in, and full dominion and power
over" lands lying seaward of the
low-water mark off the California
coast. The court left for later de-
termination the exact boundary
lines between State and Federal
jurisdiction.

In all the talk about Republican presl-
dental candidates. most folks seem TO De
overlooking one important fact.
The Republican nominee for President
will be no better than the Republican Con-
gress which makes or repeats the laws.
We can Judge the Republican party, as we
Judged the Democratic party IN the past, by
what happens in congress. The Democrats
used to control congress. Since last year. the
Republicans haze controlled congress-. They
have a majority Of the votes. Congress does
what the Republican party decides.
When this Republican Congress opened
its 1913 session last January, this paper sug-
gested that there was still an opportunity for
the Republican party to make a fine record
in congress.
We thought then and We think now that
there could be no better type Of political cam
paign than one in which a party demonstrates
what it stands for by actual legislation.
Now this congress has reached the half
way mark. 1t has been in session almost
three full months. 1t is expected to adjourn
before the end Of June. 1t has only three
months left in which to make the record that
its nominees for President and Vice President
and for senator and representative Will take
to the voters this fall.
These first three months OF congress nave
been devoted almost entirely to hearings and
debates. SO far, there has been no final de-
cision on a single piece of important legisla-
ton.
Of the few laws that congress has passed,
the most important appear to be deficit APP
preparations to provide funds for necessary
government operations. These deficit APP
preparations were made necessary by made
quate funds voted last year when the Repub-
lican party was trying to make a showing on
government economy.
The deadline for passage Of the Marshall
plan is approaching. Rent controls were ex-
tended temporarily because the House delay
ed so long in considering any measure. The
Presidents proposal for a $40 per person cut
in income taxes has been defeated in the
House committee. The Wagner-Murray-
Dingell bill for National Health Insurance is
still in committee. SO are the various propos-
ais to speed up low-cost nome building. So
are the bills to raise minimum wage and
strengthen the Wage and Hour law. Excess
profits tax proposals, likewise.
About all we can say is watch what the
Republicans do. This is a Republican con.
gress. They still have an opportunity to wiz
the respect and support of every trade union
list.

The setting up of the AFl. Educational
League by a joint session of the Central Lab
or Council and the Building Trades Council
functioning as a political convention was an
event of great significance.
This action was Alameda (Calif.) coun-
tvs part in a nationwide movement. IN ell
feet. it is our share in the founding of a Labor
Party which may yet we'll play as important
a role in the history Of our republic as the
British Labor Party has played in the ancient
kingdom over the seas.
Slowly and ponderously, perhaps, with
many hesitations and the usual number OF bit
ter disputes. we have been moving toward
this now for a long time. The new organlza-
ton exists largely on paper so tar, but 1t Is a
wonderfully encouraging thing to have at last
got this much on paper-that as All mem
bers we belong to a national, state and county
political organization.
When it was said above that we are found
ing a Labor Party it must be understood, OF
course. that the term is used figuratively or
svmbolically. For, being good cautious AL
folk. we move along in different fashion from
the riders of red-striped zebras, and explain
very carefully at every step that we re not do-
ing this, and certainly we're not doing that,
but that maybe, perhaps, perchance, were
doing something or other.
Nevertheless, we've done it, whatever it
is,
British Labor Party Founded 48 Years Ago
The British Labor Party was formed AZ
wears ago. on February p, 1900, in conse-
quence of a resolution passed by the Trades
Union Congress in the previous September,
lust as the AFL national political organiza-
ton was established as the result of a reso-
luton adopted by the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in San Francisco in
October of last year.
At first, in Britain, they didn't call it the
Labor Party. but the Labor Representation
committee. 1t was set up as a federation OF
trade unions and allied bodies, and had no
individual members until 1913. 1t was not
known as the Labor Party until 1906.
1t is to be noted that the purpose of the
representation committee set up in 1900 was
declared to be ito establish a distinct labor
group in parliament. who shall have their
own whips and agree upon Their own policy,
which must embrace a readiness to cooperate
with any party which for the time being may
be engaged in promoting legislation in the d.
rect interest Of labor
Things have moved along a good deal in
the az years since British labor men and wo-
men adopted that declaration of purpose, and
as we set up our organization we realize that
much in addition to Legislation in the direct
interest Of labor has to be considered We
must prove to the people Of the districts rep
resented in congress and legislature that We
are not narrowly looking at public affair

The Pittsburgh power hitter
whose 81 four -baggers tied him with
Johnny Mize of the New York
Giants for the National League
leadership last year, won another
game for the Pirates yesterday with
his home run bat.
The California clouter slammed
his eighth homer of the season with
mate aboard in the eighth inning
last night to give the Pirates a 4-3
victory over Bill Voiselle and the
Braves in Boston.
It marked the fourth time this
season that a Kiner blast provided
the winning runs for the Bucca-
neers.
Ralph began to find the range in
May after slow start. On the second
day of this month, he slammed two
round -tripplers and drove in four
runs to hang a Ga defeat upon
Ewell Blackwell and the Cincinnati

belted two more homers and batted
in five runs to whip the Brooklyn

Caps Trade Torgof
For Bullets Schulz,
Set-Shot Artist

1rv Torgoff, regular on the Wash
ington Capitols basket ball team for
two years, was traded today for Dick
Schulz of the Baltimore Bullets
Owner Mike Uline Of the Gaps an
nounced. 1t was an even swap
with no cash involved.
This is the second deal within
two weeks involving the two clubs
Johnny Mahnken, formerly of Wash
ington, having previously been sent
to Baltimore in exchange for Kleg-
gle Hermsen.
Schulz is 27 years old, three years
younger than Torgoff, is feet !
inch tall and weighs 1875 pounds
He's a set-shot artist, and during
the regular season counted 38a
points. He added Al more points
during the playoff series that
brought Baltimore the Basket Ball
Association of America champion
ship in its first year in the loop.
In joining the Bullets, Torgoff
goes to a club with which he had
several scraps during the years. He
had several encounters with Paul
Hoffman in Baltimore a number of
times.
Also added to the Bullets Is DAN
ny Kraus, one-time Georgetown
University star and a former col-
lege teammate of Mahnken's. Kraus
yesterday signed one-year con-
tract. Another Georgetown player
considering a try at professional
basket ball is Andy Kostecka, who
is on the list of those drafted by
Indianapolis,
Coach Red Auerbach of the Caps
could not be reached today fol-
comment on the deal, but in Balti-
more, Bullet Coach Buddy JEAN
nette insisted he came out on top
Schulz is a good set shot," he
said, "but so Is Torgoh. In
addition, Irv can do more things
with a basket ball and has greater
variety of shots and is a real scrap
per under the basket"
Despite Jeannette's claim, the
deal appears to be pretty even
one. Torgoff scored 383 points dur
ing the regular season. a shade less
than did Schulz. The Caps new
player was a member of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin team in 1887
and was with the Kenosha Royals,
Sheboygan Redskins and Toronto
Huskies before going to the Bullets
last year
