THE COUNTRY CLUB, CLEVE- LAND, September 10.—Ross (Sandy) Somerville, Canadian veteran and former holder of the United States amateur golf crown, featured the early advance into the third round of the national tournament today by blast- ing Douglas Hill, Cincinnati, with & sub-par package of explosives. Somerville’s second-round victory, by a 6 end 4 margin, found the Canadian ace three under par for 14 holes. He was out in 34, two under, and ended the match with & birdie 2. With clear, cool weather conditions offering a sharp contrast to yester- day's opening deluge, the 128 title seekers opened up the firing in earnest. Walter Emery of Oklahoma City, former national intercollegiate champion, was one under par for 15 holes in routing T. S. Jamison, Jr., Pittsburgh, 5 and 3. Capital Man Wins. Roger Peacock of Indian Spring Country Club, Washington, sank a full niblick shot from 110 yards for an eagle 2 on the 325-yard fourth hole. He defeated Robert Sweeny, Amer- ican-born entry from England, to ad- vance to the third round, 6 and 4. Charles Wallace, Cleveland amateur, led the way into the third round by trouncing Earle Baruch of Philadel- phia, 6 and 5. Favorites faced tougher going. Two of the headliners, Johnny Goodman of Omaha, former national open King, and George T. Dunlap, jr., of New York, amateur titleholder in 1933, were paired in an outstanding second round match in the. third quarter of the draw. They were to tee off at 11:40, Eastern standard time. Pace-setters this morning were Arthur Doering, jr., Chicago, and John Niles of Boston. They reached the turn all square, each posting 40, four over par, for the outgoing nine holes. Givan Defeats Pitt. The hard-hitting Seattle star, Harry Givan, set off the early fireworks by negotiating the first nine in 35, one under par, and becoming two up on Harry Pitt of Washington. Pitt, with a deuce on the nirth hole, reduced Givan’s margin and ‘was out in 38, but Givan finally won, 3 and 2. Virginian Presses Oklahoman. Zell Eaton of Oklahoma City caught @ tartar in Virginia's Morton McCar- thy, who gave the former Western am- ateur a tussle all the way, squared the match by sinking a 30-foot putt on the eighteenth and won on the first extra hole. Eaton lost the battle by three- putting from 20 feet on the nineteenth green, where McCarthy was only 10| feet from the pin with his approach end got a winning par 4. They had a ding-dong fight on the last nine. McCarthy squared the match at the 10th, 13th, 16th and 18th. Eaton got a deuce at the 14th, with a 40-foot putt. McCarthy shot four birdies altogether, including the 10th, 16th and 18th, finally winning the round, one up. Campbell Beats Finger, Albert (Scotty) Campbell of Seattle was even par for 14 holes as he took Jack Finger, California, into camp to | the tune of 5 and 4. The Seattle star meets Eddie Held in the third round tomorrow. Held, from Jamesburg, N. J., was three up on ‘Bob Servis of Dayton at the turn as the result of an outgoing 35, one under par. Jack Munger, youthful member of the strong Texas delegation, was all square at the turn with H. 8. Fownes, 2d, of Pittsburgh. Eddie Hogan, burly Portland, Oreg., star, got the jump on Johnny Fischer, Cincinnati, but it looked like & ding- | dong match. Hogan won the first hole and also took the third, with a 22-foot putt for a birdie, but three putted and lost the fourth. Fischer muffed a three-foot putt to drop the fifth hole but came back to take the next, as Hogan was trapped, leaving the Oregonian one up. ‘The summaries: Summaries of Play.

By the Associated Press. ATHENS, September 10.—Premier TSALDARIS. republican government, issued a pro- clamation today urging the people to‘ vote for the restoration of the mon- archy. The proclamation came after & night which saw the tension between monarchists and republicans break in | an open fight outside the doors of the cabinet chamber, with the bayoneting | of two republican leaders by mon- archist guards. After deploring the night's events, Premier Tsaldaris’ proclamation asked for calm and order, concluding: “I consider democratic royalty as the natural regime for Greece and ask the people to vote for it in the im- pending plebiscite.” Last night's fight broke up a cabi- net meeting.

By the Associated Press. ‘While speeding its treaty strength shipbuilding program with & new au- thorization for 23 new vessels, the Nayy disclosed today that construc- tion of faster and more deadly naval aircraft was moving forward in pace with increased marine power. Of the new warships an aircraft carrier, eight destroyers and three submarines will be built by contract in private yards and one light cruiser, seven destroyers and three submarines will be constructed in Government yards. Ship contracts awarded yesterday totaled $59,225,500, but estimates of cost for vessels to be built in Navy yards—expected to aggregate less than the contract sum—were not made public. Believing planes and ships must be “inseparably tied up together” if Uncle Sam’s sea strength is to equal that of other great powers, one high Navy officlal sald today that “We have got to have” an adequate air force to ‘“balance” and supplement warships, Held of Vital Importance. Refusing to raise the old issue of the comparative value of ships and planes, he expressed the view that “aircraft is of vital importance to | the Navy in dozens of ways.” In the five-to-seven-year building | plan a total of 1,190 planes is con- templated. These will be combat, bombing, observation and patrol types. Although details of the plane-build- known that experiments in new and speedier aircraft are going forward along two lines. The Navy itself, through its Aero- | nautical Engineering Division, is con- | stantly working for improvement and, under a recent congressional act, will build 10 per cent of its planes in |a Government factory at Phila- | delphia. One training plane has been com- | pleted there and Navy officials said ;privstely that tests had shown it “perfectly satisfactory.” Another prod to increased effec- anti-monarchist forces and com- mander of the Athens garrison, led a group of resentful republican officers into the cabinet meeting to protest against the shift of Premier Tsaldaris from his position of neutrality on the restoration question to one favoring the return of former King George. Bayoneted by Guards. Minister of War George Kondylis promptly ordered the arrest of Gen. Panagiotakos and his brother, a re- publican deputy. Both were bayon- eted when monarchist guards at- tempted to carry out the war min- isters orders. The brothers were taken to a hos- pital and tension spread over the | capital. It was felt that the incident might set aflame the smouldering re- publican forces. Gen. Panagiotakos was forced to re- sign his command of the 1st Army Corps in favor of Gen. Papagos, ac- cording to reports. It was announced that Premier Tsaldaris would issue a communique giving the cabinet’s views regarding the restoration of the mon- archy. King George in Touch. Former King George of Greece is living in London. Reports of his im- pending return to the throne have | recurred frequently in recent weeks. He has been in close communication with royalist sympathizers of the | London bearing counsel from Tsaldaris not to return to Greece at the present time. There has been a strong drive in Greece by the royalists for a plebiscite | on the proposed restoration of the monarchy. Government Explains. ‘The government explained the | night's developments in the following official statement: | “As the result of certain movements | the 1st Army Corps undertook certain measure which led to the resignation | of the minister of war, Kondylis. “A cabinet meeting was summoned to examine the situation. The min- ister of war then withdrew his resig- nation, having been persuaded his mo- tives were due to a misunderstanding. “While the cabinet was meeting in a room in the building of the Chamber of Deputies a brawl started between 3 number of persons in the outside cor- ridor. “The army corps commander, Gen. Panayotakos, who intervened to re- store order, was slightly wounded dur- ; ing the quarrel. As a result of his wound he has been succeeded as army commander by Gen. Papagos. “Gen. Panayotakos, whose wounds are superficial, returned home after treatment at a hospital.” It is reported that Pericles Rallis, minister of interior, resigned.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. HYDE PARK, N. Y., September 10. —Indications here today are that President Roosevelt will break his forthcoming journey to the West Coast with a stop-over in St. Louis, Mo., just long enough to address the closing of the American Legion Convention. It is known that political advisers of the President have been urging & speech somewhere in the Midwest, be- fore his contemplated speech incident to the formal dedication of Boulder Dam, on the Colorado River, and at the San Diego, Calif, Exposition. These urgings have been to the effect that it would be bad political strategy for the President to pass up the Mid- west on his trip. Postmaster General Farley, during his conference with the President here a few days ago, strongly urged such a speech. Farley said he did not urge any particular city, preferring to leave that to the President’s choice. Decision Due Soon. President Roosevelt is now known to be studying the matter and the be- lief 1s that he will reach a decision within a few days. Naturally, Mr. | Roosevelt would want just the right | spot for such a speech, and it is be- | lieved the Invitation he received yes- terday to address the Legion is| | tempting. President Roosevelt was very at- tentive to Frank Belgrano, national commander of the Legion, when the commander extended the invitation vesterday to address the organization September 26. Comdr. Belgrano was accompanied by Col. Monroe Johnson, recently appointed Assistant Secretary of Commerce, who has been a mem- ber of the Executive Committee ever since the Leglon was started. Inasmuch as the President wants to give himself about two days in | Washington before starting West, so | as to confer with members of his cabinet and other executives, it is thought that he would leave here for ‘Washington the night of September | 21 or 22. Roper and Bingham to Call. D. C., ‘The President’s work today seemed | to be more of a routine nature. His | only conference engagements wer®| with Secretary of Commerce Roper and Robert W. Bingham, Ambassador to Great Britain. It is believed the Commerce Department head discussed the shipping industry, among other | things. The Commerce Department | is faced with a problem since the subsidy bill, proposed by the Presi- dent, designed to replace the ocean contract system, failed to pass the last session of Congress. Ambassador Bingham soon will re- | turn to London. The problems grow- ing out of the Italo-Ethiopian situ- ation probably will come up for dis- cussion during his visit with the President. Gov. Lehman of New York, close | personal friend of the President, de- clined to say after his luncheon talk with the President yesterday whether or not he would be e candidate to succeed himself as Governor. It is known that the President is anxious to have him run again. Postmaster General Farley gave assurances of this | during his visit the other day. MEXICO ENDS EXILE Former Interior Minister Given Right to Return From U. S. MEXICO CITY, September 10 (4. —The government officially an- nounced yesterday that Gilberto Val- enzuela, former minister of the in- terior and a presidential candidate in 1933, had been granted permission to return from El Paso, Tex., where he has been a political exile, and reside in Mexico permanently. Valenzuela had been living in the United States since the revolution of 1929. Informed political circles believed the official action might prove to be the forerunner of a long-awaited move to permit the return of numerous political exiles. Itvin S. Cobb Says: Fame’s a Fickle Jade, Long’s Ghost May Learn Some Day. SANTA MONICA, Calif.. September 10.—Who today remembers this man’s name? : He was a Southerner. He was hum- bly born. From childhood the crav- ing for power possessed him. He educated himself. studied law, got into the game, gained high of- fice. The aristo- crats despised him. They la- beled him “poor white #rash.” He fought them and he fought the corporations. He flouted the old leaders and he organized ‘‘the great common people.” He built up |a machine in his own image; set up a partisan election board in his own behalf. ‘The whole country watched the so- called upstart, some hating, some fearing, some admiring him. He went into a convention as a discredited minority candidate. He came out of it with the governorship nomination, leaving his party in warring frag- ments. On the eve of attaining his highest ambition of all—complete political control of the Comomnwealth—he was shot down at the State House. His enemies—and some of his friends— believe that, had he lived, he would have ruled the national democracy or else would have wrecked it. 1f Huey Long should have lived—if determination and courage could con- quer the assassin’s bullet—what would have been his place in future history? But with the grim parallel continu- ing to its fatal end, will the next gen- eration forget Long as already this generation has forgotten Goebel of Kentucky, dead by a murderer's hand less than 36 years ago?

CASHMERE, Wash., September 10 (#).—Two men and a woman were found dead in the Wenatchee River at a tourist camp near here yesterday following a midnight swimming party. They were identified as Earl Harkle- rode, Everett, Wash., restaurant oper- ator; Earl Squire, cook, each between 30 and 40 years old, and Prankie Nie- man, also known as Violet Jones, about 30.

One of the | heaviest losers was the then first secretary to the German Embassy, whose collection of rare books had been raided. It was Sullivan's wont, Detective Hodkinson recalled, to seek out the homes of the well-to-do and, in the absence of the occupants, loot in a systematic manner, returning night after night to carry off the spoils and go over what remained for choice pieces.

By the Associated Press. Modification of existing procedure in evaluating imports is under consid- eration in negotiations now under way for a Canadian-American reciprocal trade pact. In replying to Canadian proposals for tariff duty reductions and clarifi- cation of trade regulations, Secretary of State Hull, it was learned today, has recommended that the discussions include the important question of “methods of determining the value of merchandise for duty purposes in either country.” Hull's suggestion resulted from rep- resentations made by American manu- facturers and exporters who desire changes in present procedure because of the arbitrary value set on goods and the uncertainty resulting from lack of a fixed valuation yardstick. May Disregard Foreign Prices. Under section 43 of the Canadian customs act, American foreign traders ‘ha\'e pointed out, the minister of na- tional revenue is authorized to disre- | gard foreign invoice prices on goods | of a kind made or produced in Canada, | and establish whatever value for duty purposes he sees fit. The Canadian customs ruling has been invoked on approximately 100 American articles, it was said, and since there is no appeal from the min- | ister's decision, the arbitrary valuation figures have stood, despite any evidence of actual lower value, On other American articles, it was explained, manufacturers and export- ers do not know what valuation may be placed on. their goods until they are actually in Canadian customs. “Dumping Duty” Permitted. Canadian customs authorities are also empowered to fix the manufac- turer's discount rate that will be al- | lowed, regardless of the actual dis- count given, and to assess a “dumping duty” in addition to regular duty if the American value is below the | Canadian.
