REMNANTS OF GAR LEAD WASHINGTON 10 SOLDIER TOMBS Veterans and Citizens Join! in Solemn Tributes to Hero Dead. ARLINGTON IS MECCA FOR MOST OF PILGRIMS Sergt. Younger, Who Dropped First | ‘Wreath to Designate Unknown Soldier, Participating Today. Led by the remnants of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Capital bowed its head today at the blossom- banked sepulchres of the Nation's mili- tary dead—known and unknown. By the simple gesture of a tenderly placed wreath, the stirring eulogy of an inspired voice and the plaintive notes of the soldier's requiem, “Taps,” rev- erent ranks of citizens and uniformed forces joined solemnly in an impressive tribute to those who died in their . country's defense. Arlington Is Mecea. Arlington was the mecca of a ma- Jority of the pilgrims, but all day long other groups of men, women and chil- dren wended their way to far-flung shrines of the dead—from the heights of Mount St. Alban, where America’s Rt World War President lies at rest, to ' m the isolated graves of less distinguished patriots in scattered cemeteries, President Hoover journed to the mon- ument-studded farm flelds of Gettys- burg, where special ceremonies were » planned on the site made famous by | Base Lincoln with his immortal battlefield address. While the trip necessitated the President’s absence from the afternoon rites in the Arlington Amphitheater, in- terest in the ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was heightened this year by the presence of Sergt. Ed- ward S. Younger, the man who selected the body which lies enshrined there. Sergt. Younger Participating. Sergt. Younger, now & mail clerk in Chicago, was to re-enact this afternoon the breathless scene nine years ago in a makeshift chapel in Chalons-Sur- Marne, when he dropped a wreath of roses on one of four caskets and designated for all time the unidentified soldier who was to become a national @ymbol of patriotism. ‘Wreaths previously had been laid or the marble tomb by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans. A colorful and touching preliminary to the Arlington seyvices was the an- nual Memorial day mobilization of the aging veterans of the Civil War.

PRESIDENT LEAVES T0 MAKE ADDRESS Fishing Trip Will Follow Me- morial Day Speech at Gettysburg. President Hoover left Washington at 9:30 o'clock this morning for Gettys- burg, Pa., where this afternoon, from a rostrum on the battlefield on the out- skirts of that historic town, he will deliver a Memorial day address, and later will motor to the fishing preserve near Williamsport, Pa., of Jay Cooke, 3d, of Philadelphie, to spend the week end. Mrs. Hoover was unable to accom- pany the President because she has not fully recovered from the effects of an illness. With the President on the journey to Gettysburg are Secretary of War Hurley, Secretaries Lawrence Richey and George Ackerson, Col. Campbell Hodges and Capt. Allan Buchanan, chief military and naval aides, respectively; Capt. Joel T. Boone, White House physician; about a dozen newspaper correspondents and as many more news photographers, as well as the customary number of Secret Service operatives. The President will not return to the White House before | late Sunday afternoon. Mr. Hoover, at 2:30 o'clock this aft- ernoon, will speak from a spot on the Gettysburg field not far distant from where Abraham Lincoln nearly 70 years ago delivered an address which has be- come immortal. Will Be Joined by Governor. According to information received at the White House, many thousands of persons will be assembled to listen to the Memorial day message. The presidential party will motor di- burg, where they will be welcomed by Gov. John Pisher of Pennsylvania and his staff and members of the commit- tee in charge of the memorial services. The governor will join the President in the latter's automobile and will ride with him through the town to the grandstand. On the way, through the National Cemetery on the battlefield, the President'’s car will pause long enough for him to watch several hun- dred school children attired in white place flags and flowers upon the sur- rounding graves. It is understood that before leaving this hallowed ground the President himself will place a wreath, brought from the White House, upon one of the graves. __It is doubtful if the entire ceremones (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—Al Sim- mons’ double and singles by Jimmy Foxx and Eric McNair, the last with two out in the thirteenth inning, pro- duced the run that gave the A's a 7-6 win over the Nationals this morning. Fred Marberry, who had relieved Ad Liska in the ninth, was the victim of this attack. Simmons’ eighth home run of the sea- son with two on and two out in the ninth sent the game into overtime. It was made off Liska, who had ylelded but five hits up to that time. Liska was wild throughout, though, and it was & pass to Pinch Batter Williams just before Simmons stepped to the plate in the ninth that got the pitcher into trouble. The Nationals reached Bob Grove for nine safeties in the first nine frames, but could do nothing against Jack Quinn. Foxx, the A’s first-sacker, got six hits in seven times up.

The seventeenth was halved in birdie 4s and then Jones won the eighteenth to take the match and leave only one match standing between him and the one major championship he never has been abie to win. Both Score Birdies. A gallery of 3,000 persons assembled for the start of the semi-final match between Jones and Voigt and was re- warded with a great thrill at the first hole when it was halved in birdie threes. Jones went 1 up at the second, where he scored a par 4 to 5 for Voigt. George was trapped in “Cheape’s Bunker” and, although he slashed into the sand and dug the ball out, he was 40 yards short of the green, while Bobby was on with his second. Jones putted dead from 20 feet, and when Voigt ran over the green he conceded the hole. Jones, 1 up. The third was halved in fours. The fourth was halved in fives, after Voigt had a great chance to win and square the match. He did square it at the fifth _hole with a birdie 4 to Jones’ par 5. Jones’ drive was only a yard ahead of that from Voigt's club. Voigt's No. 1 iron shot skimmed a few feet bsyond the green’s edge. Jomes was on, 90 feet from the cup. his putt of about 5 feet. his, the ball running past the cup, and the match was all-square. » Jones again went 1 up at the sixth when he scored a par 4 to 5 for Voigt, but Voigt again squared the match at the seventh when he was down in par 4, while Jones took three putts and finished with a 5. ‘The short eighth was halved in par ‘The ninth was halved with a pair of par fours, and the match at the turn was all square.

Jones holed an 18-inch putt for his 4 and conceded Voigt one only slightly longer, leaving the match all square as they started on the second nine. The tenth was halved in par fours. Voigt went 1 up at the eleventh, this marking the first time he had been in the lead, when he weas down in par 3 at the short hole to 4 for Jones. Jones tried to reach the green with a low shot, his ball striking in blown sand in front of the green and seemed likely to run up to the cup. Instead it raced up the sloping green and ran down the bank of the Eden River. Jone chipped back 6 feet from the cup. Voight put his approach putt on the lip of the cup. Jones' ball again slipped past the hole, giving Voigt the lead. ‘The twelith was halved in 4. Voight Takes Thirteenth. Voigt went 2 up at the thirteenth when he was down in 4 to 5 for Jones. Bobby with a little slice on his drive found his ball in rough and his second was just short of a bunker. Voigt drove in the fairway, but topped his iron shot. However his next found a good spot on the plateau near the green. ‘The crowd then gasped as Jones com- pletely fluffed a mashie pitch, the ball going about 10 yards. Voigt ran his nine feet from the pin. Jones holed his putt from 12 feet, but Voigt got his down also to win the hole. Jones reduced Voigt's lead to one by winning the fourteenth with a birdie 4. Voigt was in trouble all the way and finally took 6, while Jones holed his birdie 4, leaving Voigt 1 up. The fifteenth was halved in 5. Jones won the sixteenth with a four to Volgt's five. The seventeenth was halved in birdie fours and the match was still square, Bobby Jones and George Voigt sur- vived play in the quarter finels this morning along with two Englishmen, Roger Wethered of London and Lister Hartley of Chislehurst. Pairings for the semi-final round this afternoon found Jones opposed to Voigt and Hartley matched with Wethered for the right to enter the 36-hole final round tomorrow. Voigt and Jones both won their morn- ing matches in comparatively easy fash- ion. Jones gained a four-hole lead on Eric Fiddian of Stourbridge on the first nine holes and maintained it to end the match on the fifteenth green, 4 and 3. Voigt eliminated William Sutton, ‘West Chesire artisan, 5 and 4, holding a lead of 2 up at the turn and then taking advantage of a collapse in the Briton's game to end the match at the fourteenth.

WAR MEMORIAL AID PLEDGED BY LABOR Central Union Body Opens Effort to Complete Financ- ing of District Temple. President Green Makes Appeal In a letter addressed to Chair- man Frank B. Noyes of the Dis- trict of Columbia World War Memorial Commission, President Willlam Green of the American Federatlon of Labor said: “The plan which you and those associated with you have launched forces of the United States from the District of Columbia in the World War 18 most commend- able. It shoul be given the whole-hearted support of every man, woman and child residing in the District of Columbia. The beautiful memorial which will be conceived and erected by a mas- ter mind will appeal to the pa- triotism, love of country and the noble Instincts of all those who believe in our free institutions, our form of government and the blessings of liberty and freedom which come as a common heri- tage from our forefathers. “I wish that the masses of the people, the working people of the District, may have a large part in the construction and in the erection of this memorial. Many of their relatives and friends served in the World War, and some who setved died in the service of humanity and of their country. “Having all these facts in mind, I make an earnest appeal to the working people and their friends, in the District of Columbia, to make such contributions as con- ditions and circumstances will permit to the fund being cre- ated for the erection of this memorial. It matters not whether the contribution is small or great, the money given will rep- resent the interest each will have in the memorial, “Labor should not fail to do its fine part and to make its finan- clal contribution to the success of this great patriotic enterprise. In the name of labor, I appeal to the working people of the Dis- trict of Columbia to do their part and to contribute as gen- erously as possible to the memo- rial fund.” Inspired by & stirring appeal of Presi- dent Willlam Green of the American Federation of Labor, the Wishington Central Labor Union today plunged int> a well organized eflort to complete financing of the District of Columbia World War Memorlal by increasing the funds from their present total of $135,~ 000 to the goal of $155.000. In making this announcement, Frank B. Noyes, chairman of the District of Columbia Memorial _Association, ex- pressed the hope that construction in West Potomac Park may start next Fall. A minimum of $20,000 remains to be Talsed. Pledges yet to be paid may re- duce this. The memorial is to take the form of & white stone temple of classic design, where band concerts may be piayed. It is to be located in a grove of trees be- tween the Tidal Basin and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Committee of 14 Appointed.

BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. SPEEDWAY, INDIANAPOLIS, May 30.—With a deafening roar from wide- open motors, 38 cars, with two men huddled in each, flashed away at 10 o'clock today in the start of the 500- mile automobile race, over the bumpy brick course of the Indianapolis Speed- way. The fleld contained the pick of American drivers and two Italian in- vaders seeking a share of the $115,000 in prize money. As the start was made it appearcd like a glorious day for the race. The weather was a bit frosty and a stiff, cold wind kept the spectators shivering and hoping for warmer temperature. ‘The sun shone brilliantly from cloud- less skies, however, giving no indication of rain. ‘The crowd of more than 165,000 spec- tators cheered lustily as the racers started on their way and then settled back into their seats to watch the drivers take their chances with death in their mad dash around the two-and- one-half-mile oval. Billy Arnold, 23-year-old Chicagoan, remained a favorite with the crowd along with two previous winners of the race, Peter De Paolo and Louie Meyer. Arnold started from the pole position.

BRANDS LOBBYISTS IND.C. AS PARASITES Chairman Caraway Charges “They Serve No Useful Pur- pose,” in Review of Probe. By the Associated Press. An assertion that most Washington lobbyists are “simple parasites preying upon the public” was made today by Chairman Caraway of the Senate lobby committee in a review of the accomp- lishments of the committee's seven- months investigation. As the life of the committee neared an end Caraway told newspaper men that the vast majority of the lobbyists are simply taking advantage of the “cupldity or desires of individuals and groups away from Wi " 'y serve no useful purpose,” asserted, adding that if the public has followed the investigation it will refrain | from supporting “these utterly disrepu- table and selfish interests.” Some Groups Honest. Caraway explained, however, that there were groups which were “honestly seeking to bring about helpful legisla- tlon or executive action,” and he did not intend to reflect upon them. “All agree,” he said, “that every eit- izen has the right to present his views on any public matter to any branch of the Guae"l"flrcel:: a consf nal right, but is a tht that should be exerglud. e “The investigation has given a fairly accurate picture of the leading groups who have infested Washington and sought to influence legisiation and ex- ecutive action for a number of years. “In most cases it pretty clearly ap- peared that the chief concern of tge lobbyists was to find credulous people and induce them to contribute the funds which were alleged to be accumulated for the purpose of accomplishing ends they professed to seek. ~But in very many instances the con- tributions found their way into the pockets of the professional lobbyists, Preying Upon Individuals. “Of the hundreds of associations and individuals who are domiciled in Wash- ington and who may properly be de- scribed as lobbyists the vast ‘majorily are simply preying upon the cupidity or desires of individuals and groups away from Washington and whatever money is contributed is pocketed. “They make no effort to influence legislation or executive action and have no influence to accomplish either. They are simply parasites preying upon the public. They serve no useful purpose. “However much they may profess, the fact is that most of them have no sg:lkmg acquaintance with any oue in t legislative or administrative branches of the Government.” TWO CONFESS PLOTTING SLAYING OF MAN’S WIFE Sheriff Says Pair Wanted Second ‘Woman Out of Their Way.

TRAVELING AT RATE OF. 88 MILES AN HOUR Last Reported 347 Miles North of Porto Rico at 9:30 0'Clock Today. By the Associated Pre The Graf Zeppelin radioed the Navy Department today it was heading di= rectly for Lakehurst and expected to arrive there tomorrow morning. The message was sent at 5:04 am. while the airship was above San Juan, Porto Rico, It read: “Heading for Lakehurst di- rectly. Expect arrive there Saturday morning.” ‘The Graf Zeppelin later notified the Navy that at 8 am. its position was 21 degrees 30 minutes north latitude and 67 degrees 10 minutes west longie tude, or about 215 miles mnorth and slightly west of S8an Juan, Porto Rico. Since the Graf passed San Juan it had averaged 73.6 miles an hour on a direct course to Lakehurst. ‘The steamship Coamo advised the Navy that at 9:30 am. the Graf was about 347 miles north and slightly west of San Juan, This would indicate the dirigible had traveled 132 miles since 8 o'clock, aver- aging about 88 miles an hour. In the region the Zeppelin was traversing there were strong tail winds, Porto Rico is approximately 100 miles eastward of the previously charted course of the Graf Zeppelin. The is- land is, however, on a straight course for Lakehurst as followed by the Zep- pelin since leaving Pernambuco. Dr. Hugo Eckener in a radio message made known that he would not go to Havana, Cuba. Shortage of fuel, due to & shortening of the Graf’s load at Pernambuco, where the dirigible was watersoaked, was belleved by observers wh:“' been the cause of the changed plan.

HAVANA, May 30 (#).—Thousands were disappointed here today by an- nouncement that the Graf Zeppelim, bound for Lakehurst, N. .J, ‘from Pernambuco, Brazil, would not make its scheduled stop in this city. At 9 pm., Eastern standard time, a message received from the Graf said the p was over Barbados Pass. Four hours previously another message had sald the ship was making 65 miles an hour, and in the preceding 24 hours had covered 1,600 miles. ‘The Barbados position was at the ex- treme easterly end of the West Indian group, about 1,700 miles southeast of Havana. Some dissatisflaction has been felt hers for the past few days anyway be- cause of advertised tours of the dirigible from Havana to Miami and return at & }Jrlce of $500, just what is charged or the trip to Lakehurst. It is unde: stood now that the tours were adver- tised and money accepted (it was later returned) because of a misunderstand- ing with the Zeppelin authorities. . Eckener's doubt Sunday and Monday as to whether he would call at Rio Janeiro was recalled here.
