—2 ¥ DUNLAP IS BEATEN IN BRITISH GOLF Bows to Mighty Stroking of | Veteran Scotchman, Michael Scott. ¥ By the Associated Press. HOYLAKE, England, June 23— George T. Dunlap, jr., sole American survivor in the British amateur golf championship, was eliminated in the | semi-final round today 4 and 3 by the veteran British internationalist, ' Honorable Michael Scott. : ‘The slim young American, twice hold- er of the United States. intercollegiate | title, held his own with Scott through the first nine holes of the match, which they finished all square, but failed to | win a hole on the incoming route, Scott | taking the lead at the eleventh to end | the match four holes later. | Defeated Somerville. | On his way to the semi-final Dunlap | defeated several leading golfers of the British Empire, including C. Rcssi (Sandy) Somerville, Canadian holder of the United States amateur title, and | Lister Hartley, British Walker Cup | star. | The real break in his match with Scott came on the eighth hole, a 482- yarder, where George shot his par 5| only to have Scott sink an 8-yard putt | for an eagle 3, to square the match and | apparently shake the nerve of the 24- year-old American. Scott, twice Australian open cham- pion and four times winner of the ama- teur title there, was a member of the ‘British Walker Cup team in 1924 and scored two of Britain’s three points. He defeated Jess Sweetser, former United States and British amateur title holder, 7 and 6, and paired with Robert Scott, jr, to defeat Bob Jones and | W. C. Fownes 1 up. ! He is 55 years old. No Match for Scotsman. Dunlap was playing ahout as well as he did in his preva-is aseiches, but | was no match for the »vousea &cotch- man, who was eyen fod¥s througl. the 15 holes played, with an eagle and one birdie on his card. Sttt was only over par three times and two of the holes he lost that way. Scott is a brother of Lady Margaret | Scott, who won the first British wom- | en’s championships in 1893, 1894 and | 1895 Scott’s victory put him into the finals | for the first time, his best previous showing being a semi-final berth in | 1920 and sixth round brackets in 1912 and 1929. He was the leading amateur in the British open in 1922 when Wal- ter Hagen won his first British title, finishing in a tie for 20th place. Cyril Tolley, British title holder in| 1920 and 1929, also fell in the semi- final round before Thomas Arundel , losing out in a 20-hole match. | Tolley's Defeat Surprise. ‘The defeat of Tolley was as much an ‘upset as that of Dunlap by Scott as the portly former champlon, one of the longest drivers in golf, had been favored by the critics to at least gain the final round. Bourn was native English champion in 1930 and won the French amateur title in 1928. He played in the United States amateur in 1929, being elimi- nated in the second round. It will be a battle of youth against age again in the 36-hole final tomorrow, as Bourn is only 31, 24 years younger than his opponent. Dunlap took his defeat like the good sportsman he is, tell the golf writ- ers who crowded around: “He’s a better golfer than I am.’ Told He Hadn't Chance. As the young American and the gray-| haired Scotsman walked in from the | fifteenth green Scott told Dunlap that | he had not seen him play before, “but | all my friends told me before the match that I hadn't a ghost of a chance.” “Oh, that's what we call ‘honey’ talk over on our side,” Dunlap responded, smiling. Starting the semi-final match, Dunlap took a one-hole lead on Scott at the second and went two up on the sixth, but Michael then rallied to take the seventh with a par 3 and the eighth| with an eagle 3 to send them to the tenth green all even. ‘The first hole was halved in orthodox fashion, but both were in bunkers at the second, Dunlap from the tee and | Bcott cn his second. Both recovered | nicely, but the Englishman needed three Dutts and George took the hole to go | 1 up. The third, fourth and fifth holes | were halved with pars, but on the sixth | Scott overran the green and the Amer- | ican went 2 up. | Scott Makes Eagle. Dunlap’s margin was reduced to 1 as Scott holed a 3-yarder on the seventh | while Dunlap was missing one of a like distance away, and the match was| squared on the 482-yard eighth as the | Englishman sent his second winging to within 8 yards of the cup and rammed | home the putt for an eagle 3. 1 Scott was outdriven 50 yards on the | ninth, but hit a great spoon shot to| the green to get his half and make the | turn all ever | ‘The tenth was halved, but Scott went into the lead for the first time to the cheers of the large gallery as Dunlap was short with his approach. The twelfth was halved in 5s, 1 over par, but Scott took the short thirteenth with a par 3 and went 3 up at the four- teenth as Dunlap, obviously shaken, dubbed a short putt and Scott sank a long one for a birdie 4. | End at Fifteenth Hole. | ‘The end came at the fifteenth hole as Bcott won with a par 4 to make it 6 won of the last 9 played and take the match. Dunlap defeated the experienced tour- nament player, Ronald Hoyle Hardman of Birkdale, in the quarter-final round this morning The slim New Yorker won the first hole with a par 4 when Hardman pulled his second shot and then missed & putt of a yard. Dunlap went two up at the third, where Hardman pulled his drive into a ditch and then missed & 5-foot putt Hardman went three down at the sixth, where he was out of bounds aud pushed, his iron shot into the rough at the®seventh, which Dunlap won U g0 4 up. The eighth was halved, but the Englishman holed a 10-yard puit for a birdie 3 at the ninth to turn 3 down. Dunlap won the tenth hole to regain his four-hole lead, Hardman picking up after he had pulled his second shot and made a poor recovery. The Eng- lishman pulled himself together enough to halve the next three holes, but Dun- lap ended matters with his birdie 4 on the 511-yard fourteenth. Douglas Grant Beaten.

The Senate Finance Committee is car- rying on a similar study independently. Already this year one change has | been made to narrow the opportunities of capitalists for avoidance of income tax payments. It used to be possible, when a loss in capital was established, to carry over a part of this to the suc- | ceeding year, so it would offset earnings for two years. That may now no longer i be done. All losses must be deducted | from the income of the year they are | incurred. H The margin between legality and tax | evasion in such transactions has been viewed by prosecutors as depending on whether sales of securities made for the purpose of establishing a loss are genuine transactions, or mere transfer of the | holdings to another ownership from | which they are later reclaimed. | MOVIES LURE HUTTON FROM ANGELUS TEMLPE |Husband of Aimee McPherson to Continue Occupancy of Her Parsonage, However.

Mrs. McPherson-Hut- ton is reported to be in Paris. Besides appointing a new business manager, Hutton yesterday dismissed Willedd Andrews as his attorney and hired a new lawyer, Fairfax Cosby. Andrews represented Hutton in the breach of promise suit in which Hazel First, the 813 per cent for salaries, impounded | was knocked off when the estimates for| 1934 were prepared.

State will have available $11,563,700 for 1934, as compared to 1933, the principal’_allocations being: Depart- mental, $1,637,482; forelgn service, $8,- 299,707, and international obligations, including treaties and conferences, $1,373.611.

Some personnel cuts have been made or announced in Treasury, Commerce, Agriculture and Navy, as well as the two—Interior and Justice—which fell into line yesterday, while the Post Of- fice Department is going to apply fur- | loughs along with other economies, as is intended at the Department of Labor, whose policy was also made known yes- terday. At the Department of Agriculture, “probably some furloughs and possibly £ e dismissals” was forecast today. Al- ready at the department whose activi- ties are expanding hugely in other di- | rections, abolition of the market news service, with about 400 employ has been announced. In this department the trimming process has lopped out about $15,000,000. At Justice, the program outlined late in the afternoon by Attorney General Cummings, will hit principally patron- age jobs. Cummings explained that the revised budget calls for a cut of $7- 650,000, bringing the funds available to $33,900,000, and will mean employment |SECURITY SA Joan Myrtle, St. Pierre, nurse, won a $5,000 judgment some months ago.

Secretary Perkins sald that while she had not decided just how | the Labor personnel would be affected, an effort is to be made to take up the | difference by furloughs as far as possible.

President Coolidge covered in 1744 during his service in the White House and Presi- dent Harding, 79. In the last Demo- cratic administration cesident Wilson covered into the civil ser¥ice 1,276. How- ever, the charge has been made that thousands of the clerks appointed dur- ing the Wilson administration to help carry out the revenue laws and that later they were transferred to the civil service. No effort was ever made, it is said, to make these clerks take ex- aminations, after the Republicans gained control of the Government, in order to Democratic leaders understand per- fectly well that if the present admin- istration goes into the business of re- voking executive orders isued by Re- publican Presidents in the past covering Jjobs and emfiloycs into the civil service, a day of reckoning will overtake Demo- cratic officeholders, whether they be in the civil service or not, once the Re- publicans regain control of the Govern- ment. However, this does not disturb at present many of the Democrats who are seeking to have Republicans re- moved from the rolls so that Democrats may take their places. The Democrats are willing to take their chances, pro- vided they can get the jobs they want now. View on Civil Service. ‘There seems to be a feeling on the part of some of the Democrats that the civil service can better be used to cover men and women of special technical and sclentific knowledge, while leaving other positions, including clerks, mes- sengers and chauffeurs, for example, to be appointed by the party in power. But whether the administration will un- dertake to make any such far-reaching change with regard to the present merit system under the civil service is ancther thing. The civil service system has been built up gradually with the purpose of creating a permanent organization, with merit governing in all appointments and promotions and a retirement system to take care of the men and women who have worked for the Government until they have become superannuated. To break all this down now would cause not only a great deal of confusion, but also would work great injustice to many employes of the Government who have given faithful service.

Johnson said it was improbable the | pipe code would be acted on before ! codes of major industries were arranged. | Meantime Secretary Perkins said she “imagined” that any company union, “hastily thought up” since the passage | of the recovery bill, “would not be re- garded as truly representative.” The act provides that employers, after their codes have been approved, should not interfere with collective bargaining by the employes. Cites Draft Evaders. Miss Perkins added, however, that she felt individual cases would be con- sidered as they were presented and that there might exceptions to any opinion she expressed about the issue. ‘When reminded that coal and hosiery mill operators were setting up employes associations, the cabinet officer said her first thought was of men who married after the draft act was passed during the World War in an effort to escape conscription in the Army. “Newly formed company unions would be about as valid,” she sald before qualifying the statement to admit pos- sibility of exceptions. This discussion was brought about after Miss Perkins attended a lengthy session of the Advisory Board for Labor which was confronted with a protest from organized labor against plans for permitting agreements with industries on minimum wages and maximum hours without bargaining with the workers. She said she had personally recom- mended that in dr: codes under the act, child labor be barred, as “so many adults are without employment and the real purpose of the recovery act is to spread work as much as pos- sible among_adults.” The Public Works Advisory Board announced it had adopted a five-point program for labor, with the proviso that all contracts must meet the re- quirements of the recovery act for short working hours and fair wage scales. Job opportunities, the board asserted, “shall be equitably distributed among qualified workers who are unemployed, not among those who merely wish change one good job for another,” con- tinuing: “These work opportunities shall be distributed, geographically, as widely and as equitably as may be practicable. A workers who, under the law, are entitled to preference, shall secure such treatment. Hits Labor Migration. “The wasteful costs and personal dis- appointments, due to excessive migra- tion of labor to the vicinities of work projects, should be avoided. “Local labor required for such proj- ects and appropriately to be secured through employment services should so far as possible be selected from lists of qualified workers submitted by local employment agencies designated by the United States Employment Service.” To States, cities and counties eager w‘;hue in the work billions, the board said: “Ap] tions for Federal financing or o aid for proposed projects should not be rushed to Washington. ‘They should be withheld until an or- ganization is in existence and functio ing which can handle them in an or- derly and effective manner.” To prevent a “hopeless jam” in ‘Washington the board said there must be wide decentralization, which it pro- posed to bring about by State admin- istrators to recommend to Washington all non-Federal projects. Units will be set up in Washington to consiger the State projects from these standpoints: General policy; engineering and tech- nical soundness; legal feasibility; finan- cial set-up; economic desirability iand relation to unemployment and revival of industry, and from the viewpoint of co-ordinated planning. Federal projects will be scanned from the economic and co-ordination points. All projects and expenditures will be passed upon by the cabinet board, sub- jeclt to the approval of President Roose- velt. ‘The State administrators, whose names the board expects to have ready for submission to the Chief Executive upon his return to the Capital, will be aided in considering applications by a technical expert from Washington and a State advisory board. Only projects which this State set- up approves will come on to Washing- ton, and the cabinet board warned: “Until this organization is set up, it will be useless to send on projects di- rectly to Washington.” ORIENT SEEN OUTLET FOR WHEAT SURPLUS Dr. Ezekiel Says Far East Has Be- 1l JUNE 23, 19 ] | Jilg HARLOW GREETED BY T was a big day for the youngsters blond star of the films, visited her old home in Kansas City, Kans. is pictured with a group of young admirers on the steps of the home of her Moment for Home Folks CHILDREN AT KANSAS CITY. of the neighborhood when Jean Harlow, She —A.

Carver, who lost almost $90 worth of beer before he in turn trapped the conspirator, testified in court today that Watkins came to his wholesale beer plant on June 17, purpcrting to be the agent of Rixey Smith, secretary to Sena- tor Glass. A few Senators and Representatives were going on a boat trip that after- noon, Watkins said, and Mr. Smith had | sent him out to collect data on beer | prices about the city. The Congressmen would require about 20 cases and a bar- rel for their jaunt, the man said. A short time later Watkins reappeared, Carver said, and brought with him a truck and two men. They loaded the | beer, gave the dealer a check with the | signature “¢irter Glass” scrawled on it | in small letters, and departed. Mr. Carver noticed the check was $10 | above the price he had quoted for the beer. On Monday he called Mr. Smith |in Senator Glass’ office, thanked him for the check and mentioned this fact. “What check?” asked Mr. Smith, and | the story was out. - Mr. Carver called police and the arrest followed. On the recommendation of Assistant United States Attorney Michael F. Keogh, Judge John P. McMahon held Watkins for the grand jury under $3500 bond after the hearing this morning.
