But those results were not forthcom- g. It was reported that Johnson was ready to leave his home mear Wash- ington tonight, and arrive tomorrow tu take charge of the team Sunday.

His reference to faith | is the | “minority groups” rpreted ,by his hearers as not intended to apply to any particular minority group in Ireland, but to those he classed as troublemakers everywhere. The Secretary added that he assumed it would not be within the functions of other delegations to go outside of the agenda, in which observers noted that war debts were specifically excluded from list the of topics. Replying to other questions from British correspondents, the Secretary sald the American delegation is not at- u::tptmg to put a time limit on the conference, but feels it must be faeili- tated because of the gravity of the eco- nomic - crisis. Has Definite Ideas. ‘This fecling, he said, is shared by the other governments with which the mat- ter was discussed during the White House talks in Washington. The American delegation came with definite ideas and with a spirit of teamwork, the chairman continued. Hull, speaking with great emphasis, sald the American representatives have a profound and deep-seated feeling that unless there is enough statesman- chip at the conference to make sub- stantial in dealing with the will be sad indeed for present-day ideals and standards. | His delegation, he sald, feels also that it might be deemed feasible by the Conference to consider more the use of silver for subsidiary ccinage - poses and currency coverage in lieu of a certaln amount of gold. Economists thought, Hull said, that if the price of silver were around 50 or 60 cents an ounce, the purchasing power of the Far East would be con- siderably augmented. Links Tariff and Money. Informed that Sir Arthur Salter, British economist, has stated that monetary stabilization is the first requi- site for economic recovery, Hull de- clared the Conference m'ght naturally commence with the stabilization of the currency situation, but added that if! skyscraping tariffs and other variations are not reduced, commerce would be helpless as before, The two are linked together, he em- phasized. Asked regarding the major purpose of the Conference as h: sees it, the American Secretary asserted the com mon objective is world eccnomic re- covery. The plan the American delegates have in mind, he said, contemplates a middle course between two extremes— mux omic nationalism and internation- alism. Hull stressed international co-opera- tion as important in getting the great- est possible use from domestic programs of recovery.’ JAPAN-U. S. PACT PROPOSED.

GLENVIEW, Til, June 9.—Alti part of his lead was whittled away a rival outburst of low scoring, Armour of Chicago kept well in front of the field today with an outging 37, only one over par, for his second round of the United States open golf cham~ plonship The Scot, with 105 for 27 holés, at that stage was four shots in front of his nearest rival, Joe Kirkwood Coral Gables, Fla. Kirkwood finished his second round in 70, two under par, for a total of 144. Armour thus nesd- ed to go one under par on the last nine to keep his margin. Where Armour’s 68 yesterday, for & five-shot lead, was the only pam crack- ing first round, there were seven scores of par or better in the first half of today’s competition. Record 33s were posted for each nine. Ralph Guldahl, lanky St. Louis pro- feesional, led the attack with a 33— 71, setting & new course record for the outgoing nine and posting a 36-hole total of 147. There was no such disturbing force in the breeze as existed yesterday, and the cooler weather combined to spur a low scoring epidemie. Kirkwood, with a 74 to work on, shot birdies on the first two holes. He holed a chip shot from 12 yards off No. 1 green and rolled his third only 3 feet past the cup for a 4 on the 489-yard second. He got his par 3 on the short third easily. “The boys will take this course apart, if the wind doesn’t any stronger,” volunteered Leo Diegel as he started his second round, aiming to improve on his opening 78. Larruping Leo couldn't get down his putts on the first few holes, however, and had to be satisfled with three pars in a row. Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati, who had a first round 75, lost a stroke in the rough on the first hole, taking a 5, but got his pars on the next two. Guldahl Makes Mistake.

Armour pulled his second shot into a trap at the left of the tenth green, and it cost him a stroke, as he needed five to get down, going two over par altogether. , only the Armour shot the first nine in 37, one over par, despite three-put short eighth, and still had a substantial | lead, being four shots ahead of Joe Kirkwood at that point. His driving | after the first hole was spectacular. Armour hit such a booming tee shot on the 408-yard ninth that he nseded only a No. 7 iron to reach the green, 30 feet from the pin. He just missed the putt, but his par 4 gave him 37. one over par for the nine. Henry Kafser broke par with a 71 and he was certain of qualifying for the final half of the tournament with 52. Archje Hambrick of Zanesville, Qhio, also hopped on the comeback band- wagon and a subpar 71, moved him into the safe sice of the scoring column with a_total of 152. Leo Diegel's 33 over the last nine, a new competitive record for that half of the course, gave him a 71 and a total of 149. He regained his putting touch a bit late, however, and still had a big deficit to overcome.
