A large, unwieldy gallery of 3,000 watched Sarazen march to the turn in 35, one under par. He got two hard- won fours on the first two holes. At the first he was short with his second, but nearly dropped a 40-foot chip. Again at the second he missed the green and was in the sand off the edge. But he marched in and exploded out 15 feet from the pin and ran the putt down for a par.

BACKGROUND— Workers in France followed elec- tion victory of Leftists by *folded arms” strike which paralyzed ar- terics of manufacture and com- merce. Premier Blum, true to his constituents, refused to use force to clear factories, manned but idle. Eventually, lawmakers bowed to strikers’ demands for 40-hour week and numerous pay raises. £y ine Associatea Press. PARIS, June 25—Olive branches of industrial and political peace were of- | fered by the French government today. ‘The “Popular Front” administration | agreed to halt further occupation of | factories by striking workmen, a dele- | gation of French Chambers of Com- merce officials reported. The Croix de Feu won a new lease on life wnen the government announced | the Rightist League would be permitted | to continue as a “political party” on | the condition it drops all semblance of | a “private militia.” The Chambers of Commerce repre- sentatives said they received assurance from Premier Leon Blum no further | manufacturing plants would be tied up by “folded arms” strikers, whose num- bers at their height approximated 1,- 000,000 employes. The chambers’ demand, the dele- gates said, was based on the general accord reached between strikers and | exacuation of the plants. ‘The premier’s office declined to give -official confirmation to the report, but did not deny it. Blum made “express reserves,” it was said, in discussing the labor situation with the group. The continued existence of Rightist organizations, which the cabinet or- dered dissolved a week ago, presumably extended to all four leagues, but the peace offer was made specifically only to the followers of Col. Francois de la Rocque. “If the Croix De Feu constitutes it- self as a political party, that forma- tion is perfectly legal,” the govern- ment announcement sald. “The gov- ernment never contemplated dissolu- tion of any political party.” Hasty revision of the league’s status from what the cabinet called a “com- bat group and private militia” to that of a political party followed the dis- . —Wide World Photo. CAMDEN STRIKE ARRESTS MOUNT Ten More Held, Bringing Total to 52 in R. C. A. Labor Trouble. By (ne Assoclated Press. CAMDEN, N. J, June 25—Police arrested 10 more persons for dis- orderly conduct today in a strike at the Victor division of the R. C. A. Manufacturing Co. No serious trouble was reported. Strike leaders announced a de- termination to keep the picketing orderly and recruited ‘‘policemen” from their own ranks to direct the crowd. Ropes put up by Camden po- lice kept the crowd back from the plant entrances and several thousand workers entered. ‘Today's arrests brought the total to | 52. Three were injured in clashes yesterday. All but three of those arrested were released yesterday. The three were held in $500 bail each for a further hearing. Camden Local 103, Electrical and Radio Workers of America, called the strike Tuesday after a week's negotia- tions with the company on demands for a 20 per cent pay increase, closed shop and recognition of the union as the sole bargaining agency with the company. The number of employes not report- ing for work was placed at 2,500 by E. T. Hamilton, vice president in charge of labor relations, but A. C. Levay, chairman of the union’s Legal Committee, said 8,000 workers had | answered the strike call. POLICE CHIEF ASKS AID. Ohio Sherift to Deputize 100 Portsmouth, Ohio, Strike. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, June 25 (#).— Police Chtef Clarence Highfield of nearby New Boston asked aid today in maintaining peace at the strike- closed Wheeling Steel Corp. plant. Sheriff Arthur Oakes said he would deputize 100 men to take charge. Prosecutor Emory Smith of Scioto County disclosed that he was con- ducting an investigation of Tuesday's death-marked riot at the plant and would turn his findings over to a special session of the grand jury for action. Strike pickets and sympathizers completed today tearing up a portion of railroad track leading from one part of the corporation’s property to another, across West street in New Boston. The National Scene BY ALICE LONGWORTH HILADELPHIA, Pa., June 25.—The voice of the New Deal con- vention is loud in the land. From every street corner loid- speakers are hearing tell of the dreadful shape the country was in on March 4, 1933, when the miracle man took over. This is the burden of all the speeches of the convention. It undoubtedly will be the theme of Mr. Roose- velt's speech on Saturday, the climax toward which the whole show is being directed. Is it possible that at that time Mr. Roosevelt will have the audacity to quote from his inaugural address? When he delivered it, he was looking forward to 1936, confident that he could quote himself and say, “Behold what we have done.” He cannot at this date follow that strategy with- out being tripped up by facts. If he should say that ten miilion men were out of work and the Alice Longworta. took office, he may hear an echo: budget out of balance on that dark day when he “Those men are still looking for jobs, and the budget is still hopelessly unbalanced.” The talk is quite general that Mr. Roosevelt now is laying the ground work for a third term, as in March, 1933, he sowed the seed for the present campaign. Manager Farley sniffs at the idea, but if the country is to be entirely relieved of this apprehension, it must be by the President himself, and in a statement that admits of no double interpretation. Perhaps he will make such a statement part of his Saturday night speech. It would help to allay ‘suspicions aroused by the proposed abrogation of the two-thirds rule. Outside the convention hall, it begins to look more and more as if even a second term for Mr. Roosevelt s & violent presumption. The Philadelphia auditorium, naturally enough, is going New Deal in & big way. Conventions, however, nominate; they do not elect. Christian Heidt, 44th Division, and Lieut. Col. H.

BACKGROUND— Several days ago Chinese reports told of Japanese soldiers, armed with bayonets, pushing foreigners, including an American, from the streets and sidewalks as 3,000 Jap- anese troops marched to an army demonstration. The American involved was re- ported to be Capt. Henry S. Jerni gan, attached to the United States Embassy as a language student. The Cavalry officer, in civiliar clothes, was declared to have pushed aside @ Japanese bayonet to avoid being injured. A French woman also was reported to have been shoved into @ muddy gutter. By the Assoctated Press. PEIPING, June 25.—Protest against the “rude, rought treatment” of Amer- ican citizens during a military display ‘Tuesday was lodged with the Japanese Embassy today by Nelson T. Johnson, United States Ambassador to China. ‘The official protest, complaining of the activities of Japanese soldiers, was made on instructions from Washing- ton. ‘The Japanese Embassy replied it would submit the complaint to the Japanese commandant and make a formal answer later. ‘Woman Threatened With Sword. Ambassador Johnson’s complaint did not name the Americans involved and the embassy declined to disclose them, but one was presumed to be Capt. Henry 8. Jernigan, attached to the United States Embassy. The other was believed to be a woman who was reported threatened with a sword by & Japenese officer to force her from the pavement on a legation street while Japanese soldiers were march- ing. The French Embassy also made representations concerning the uncere- monious handling of the wife and child of an officer attached to the French Embassy. All the incidents occurred at a time when virtually the entire legation | quarter was under occupation by Japanese troops, who for reasons un- stated were posted outside the United States, German, French, Soviet and Belgian Embassies and at foreign banks in the quarter., Parade Daily. Ever since the arrival of reinforce- ments last week, the Japanese soldiers have paraded noisily and daily through the legation quarter, with trumpets blaring, appareatly for the | purpose of impressing the Chinese. United States observers pointed out the Japanese now have more troops in Tientsin than all other powers to- gether. Japan has been acquiring additional buildings in the legation quarter for military administrative purposes and officers’ quarters. Tension between the Chinese and Japanese has become so acute that foreign observers feared a serious incident might take place at any time to provoke further Japanese mili- | Aary increases in North China.

CHICAGO, June 25.—Although the death of Arthur W. Cutten, famous market trader, wiped out Federal charges of income tax evasion, his estate today faced a tax and penalty claim totaling almost $1,000,000. A few hours after the 66-year-old “little giant” of the grain pits died yesterday of heart disease, Assistant United States District Attorney Carl R.

MONTREUX, S8witzerland, June 25.—Foreign Commissar Maxim Lit- vinoff of Russia announced today the | Soviet Union wants freedom of pas- sage through the Dardenelles for her warships, to link Russia’s naval bases in various seas. His announcement, expressed to the International Dardanelles Conference, was regarded as a warning that Rus- sia, as & mighty nation, considers her interests in Europe and Asia vital. Litvinoff declared Russia had no intentions of aggression and that she desired to establish close communica- tion among her naval bases merely for visits of courtesy and communication ‘and for no other purpose.” Transit Freedom Suggested. He offered as proof of Russia’s de- sire for peace the fact he had sug- gested freedom of transit through the Dardanelles, which Turkey desires to fortify, “for warships of all powers when this is necessary to afford as- | sistance to victims of aggression or for the fulfilment of the covenant of the League of Nations.” The foreign commissar insisted Russia merely was seeking to limit the naval tonnage in the Black Sea of na- tions which do not border on that body of water so there would be “no menace to the Black Sea states nor necessity for an excessive increase of their naval forces in the Black Sea.” He said Russia, however, must ob- ject to attempts to limit the transit through the Dardanelles of warships of Black Sea states. “The demand of Black Sea coun- tries for the greater security of their shores,” said Litvinoff, “does not in- jure the interests of other states, which are given freedom of passage Wwithin reasonable limits for all peaceful pur- ‘hp-nece Protest Clause.

WIMBLEDON, England, June 25 — Bombarding his French opponent from the baseline, red-headed Don Budge of Oskland, Calif.. trounced Jean Lesueur in the third round of the all-England tennis championships to- day as two of his compatriots were ushered to the sidelines. Budge won at 6—1, 6—1, 6—1. Expert observers agreed that, based on the dazzling form of his exhibition against France's third-ranking star, Budge would have fought Fred Perry, the defending champion, on even terms. Earlier, Persy turned in a masterful performance in crushing John Van Ryn of Philadelphia, 6—3, 6—2, 6—0, after trailing, 1—3, in the opening set. The other American to meet with defeat was Carolin Babcock of Los An- geles, who bowed to Hilda Krahwinkel Sperling of Germany and Denmark, 1—5, 6—1. Allison, Grant Advance. Wilmer Allison, the American cham- pion, and Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, th» pint-sized Georgian, also entered the fourth round of the men’s singles com- petition, Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of New York was another American winner. She teamed with Mme. Sylvia Henrotin of France to eliminate Mrs. K. Bowden and Mrs. John O'Meara, 8—6, 6—3, in the women’s doubles. A crowd of 17,000 watched in silence 85 Van Ryn, the American Davis Cup player, after a brilliant opening spurt accepted defeat under the masterful stroking of the sparkling Briton. Van Ryn was listless, almost to the point of not trying, and repeatedly stood stock still and watched Perry's net burners find unprotected spots in opposite corners. Several times Van Ryn turned to the ball boy and motioned for new ammunition while serving, even before Perry's shot landed. Crowd Is Disappointed. ‘The American ran up a 3-1 lead in the first set, but then Perry stormed the net and took five straight games. The crowd murmured its disoppoint- ment at Van Ryn's lackadaisical man- ner after being keyed up to a high pitch after his early fire. Grant drew big cheers in defeating England's eighth-ranking player, Ed- ward Avory, 6—4, 6—2, 6—4. A good part of the crowd sitting in on the Perry-Van Ryn match left in the last set to watch the popular little Southerner, who is becoming the sensation of the tournament with his graceful stroking and steady ree trieving.

Mixing soft lobs and booming fore- hand drives, Helen Jacobs, four times American champion, swamped Jacque= line Goldschmidt, France’s fifth-rank- ing player, 6—1, 6—0, and advanced to the fourth round.

RICHMOND, Va, June 25.—Gove ernment attorneys conducting the prosecution of Earl Conner Williams, colored, on charges of murdering Miss Fannie Kurz in Fredericksburg Battle- field Park two years ago, prepared to- day to press for admission into evi- | dence of a third version of the crime, different from two already admitted. First entered in evidence was a con- fession allegedly made by Williams after his arrest in Iuka, Miss., in May, 1935, which was admitted over objec- tion of defense. A different version of the crime, in which Williams was said to have im- plicated another colored man now serving & life term in the State pen- itentiary, was attributed to him by a prosecution witness. The second confession, admissability of which was being argued, with the Jury excluded, when court adjourned yesterday, was made by Williams, De- partment of Justice agents said, after Williams was carried from Iuka to Birmingham, Ala. Williams' Iuka statement, read into the record after a defense motion to reject had been overruled and an ex- ception noted, related that he arrived in Fredericksburg on a freight train from Cincinnati about 2 a.m. Sunday, May 20, 1934, After he “hung around town" dur- ing the morning and afternoon. the witnesses said he told them, he en- tered the park about 5 p.m. and “lay around” until about 9 pm. He then approached a parked car containing a boy and a girl and ordered them to get out and “march up the hill” Williams was quoted by the wit- nesses as saying he intended to at- tack the girl, but the boy pleaded with him and, after he considered the girl youth, he changed his mind ard took about $1.90 from the boy. He then approached a second car, he was quoted as saying, ordered the couple there to get out and go some distance from the car. The boy called him a “nigger,” he said, and in his resentment he struck him with an iron pipe he had picked up at a rail- road yard. He then tried to attack the girl, the alleged confession con- tinued, but she screamed and he struck her a heavy blow on the head. Williams then told them, the offi- cers said, that he wrapped the pipe in a newspaper and dropped it in what he thought was a river. He made his way to Baltimore, they said he told them, sent his mother $15 of the $25 he had taken from the boy, and event- ually made his way back to her at 8t. Louis, Mo. Four Fredericksburg people testified that Willlams was there on and after the day the cvime was committed, Judge Way insisted on this “corrobora- tive ‘evidence” before he would admit the alleged confession. e
