" A—=2 & WLEAN 15 6 UP: GOODMAN IS TIED Scot Routs Voigt on First 18 as Omahan and Fischer Tie. Br the Associated Press. GARDEN CITY, N. Y, Septembe: 18.—Scottish Jack McLean, 25-year- old Glasgow whisky salesman, thrived on stormy weather, with a 40-mile wind blowing, to gain a commanding 6-up lead against George Voigt of New York today at the half-way stage of the 36-hole semi-finals for the national amateur golf champion- ship. Two American Walker Cup stars, 26-year-old Johnny Goodman of Omaha and 24-year-old Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati, fought each| other to a standstill through the first | 18 holes of the other semi-final bout over the wind-swept course of the Garden City Golf Club. Goodman negotiated the incoming | nine in 36, even par, and dropped a | 9-foot putt for a birdie two on the | eighteenth to finish the morning round all square with his Walker Cup rival. \ The two young Middle Westerners | waged a sensational close match in which Goodman's generally superior play around the greens was a dom- inant factor. The Nebraskan's re- liable chipper frequently came to his rescue. Twice, on the outgoing nine, he sank long putts to offset Fischer's greater length from tee to green. Goodman squared the match three times, Pischer twice. The Ohioan gained a one-hole lead on the out- ward half of the wind-swept course, but Goodman staged a brisk rally to win the tenth and eleventh. The tide then shifted to Fischer’s favor as he won the thirteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth by playing a more effec- tive short game. Goodman missed a 2-foot putt on| the seventeenth, with a chance to square matters, but his deuce at the club house hole left them just where they started. NICE | S REBUKED BY LABOR LEADER| Says Action in Requesting Halt| of Celanese Meetings Is “‘Unwarranted.” By the Assoclated Press. CUMBERLAND, Md., September 18 ~Labor leaders insisted vigorously yes- | terday upon their right to continue organization activities at the Celanese Corp. of America plant here and took | a critical attitude toward a telegraphic request of Gov. Harry W. Nice. Beeking, he said, to keep the way open for a peaceful settlement of any differences that might arise between the plant workers and management, Gov. Nice asked labor leaders if they for the time being would try to dis- courage any further public meetings. The Governor explained that he wanted anything that might act as an “irritant” avoided. The reaction from the Allegany ‘Trades Council here was vigorous. A telegram signed by Isaac Bradburn, president, and F. P. Allender and ad- dressed to the Governor asserted: “Organized labor in Western Mary- fand is certainly bewildered by your | action in asking curtailment of celan- | ese employes’ meetings. These workers | are only exercising their right to or- | ganize a union of their own choosing, without coercion or intimidation. We think your fear of a strike situation is premature and without foundation. We believe that your action in this matter was entirely unwarranted. | Your procedure, we believe, is the re- | sult of ill advice, and, if followed, will bring about the very situation you de- sire to avoid.” ‘The plant has about 7,000 workers. A textile union was formed some time 2go, and meetings are being held for the purpose of unionizing the plant. William F. Kelly, vice president of the United Textile Workers, tele- graphed the Governor from his New York headquarters that the union was advising against a strike, and none was contemplated unless the company in- terfered with organization of the work- ers. ‘The plant is working full time. Both the labor leaders and plant officials denied there was any labor dispute.

SURPRISE. T WAS not until they got to the Federal Bureau of Investigation on their tour of Washington that three girls from Iowa discovered what a small world this is. Part of the routine of seeing the bureau, as you should know, involves watching those machines which do fingerprint identification. The guide taking the Iowa girls through the place, picked up a card at random, shot it through the machine. The girls watched the process deeply fas- cinated. Finally the card, with the criminal identified, dropped out at the other end. One of them picked it up, looked at it for just a moment, got the shock of her life.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, September 18.—An editorial executive of the New York Herald Tribune sald last night the paper had received a cablegram from John T. Whitaker, one of its cor- respondents in Spain, decrying as a “complete fake” published reports of his detention by Spanish insurgents. Whitaker, the executive added, re- ported he had been well treated by the insurgents and that he was func- tioning normally.

INCINNATI, September 18.—Mr. Roosevelt is represented s receiving bad news from political fronts smilingly, and he is revorted to have a light jest for every new evidence .of the New Deal's unpopularity. The impression of gloom and discomfort given by Mr. Hoover dur- ing the dark days of his political life had much to do with creating the public impression that he was beaten, discouraged, through. Mr. Roosevelt received his earlier setbacks with s good many expressions of bad temper and petulance, and the result was not fortunate for him or for his cause. He is now employing s technique more in keeping with the popular conception of his disposition. No politician was ever endowed with & more valuable public smile than Mr, Roosevelt.

A large houseboat smashed into and tore away part of the railing of Masons Creek Bridge. Bus and street railway systems here and to Virginia Beach were disrupted by the inflowing tides. Telephone service was irregular. Automobiles were stalled everywhere. In the midmorning a boat crew was organized at Ocean View and the task of clearing out all Willoughby residents begun.

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tel- ephone Co. reported 11 out of 90 cir- cuits to the peninsula area already out of commission, due to high winds. Lines to Gloucester and Warsaw were also down. Bus lines were still running, but, due to the fact that ferries have ceased operation, they could only reach Portsmouth.

Just what may have happened to hundreds of persons along the Caro- linas’ coast was in doubt, for com- munications were in a tangled mess. Manteo and Roanoke Island were isolated from the rest of the Nation. Even the Coast Guard wireless sta- tion there was out of commission. The hurricane-swept area of the Atlantic was believed to be compara- tively clear of ships, due to the fact that the United States Weather Bu- reau has been warning of the ap- proaching storm, and its probable path, for the last week. However, the oll tanker Gulf Hawk was reported at anchor off Barnegat Light, N. J., with her engine dis- abled. The cutter Mohawk started out from the New York area to assist. Another ship in the storm area was the §. S. Shawnee, a Clyde-Mallory liner, with 170 passengrs. She was traveling toward New York from Flor- ida and was believed off Cape Hatteras. The Prince David of the Canadian National Steamship Co., with 283 pas- sengers, reported she had been delayed by the storm and wouid reach New York tomorrow. She hove to off North Carolina. The Monarch of Bermuda anchored off Charleston. The City of St. Louis of the Savan- nah Line beat the storm into New York. The 8. 8. Oriente hove to off Chareston.

The Red Cross was preparing to rush doctors, nurses and supplies into the areas which, already engulfed in the storm, were expected to send out calls for help. ‘There were no immediate reports of loss of life. The Government weather service had warned coastal communi- | ties for a week that the hurricane was approaching. In New York, Dr. James H.

Dr. Kimbal did not attempt to fore- cast what would happen when the two areas met, but he indicated that the high-pressure area would act to drive the center of the storm northeastward. This would result, it was believed, in the New York and New Jersey coasts feeling the full effect of the high winds.

The bargemen were reported “in no immediate danger.” MAN FOUND GASSED With gas pouring from an open jet in the stove, Otto Kalliorest, 74, was found unconscious today on the floor of his lunchroom kitchen at 1433 P street. At Emergency Hospital, it was said, his condition was undetermined. Police said they believed he might have fallen just after he had opened the jets preparatory to lighting the stove. He had slight contusions on the head. [CITIZENS L The wind | MARYLAND PLANS T0 GUARD LIVES State Departments Move to Meet Any Damage From Storm. E7 the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, September 18.—State departments moved swiftly yesterday to guard lives and property against damage from the hurricane reported sweeping toward the coast. The State Roads Commisison, mind- ful of the 1933 storm, which wrecked many Eastern Shore roads, called the ‘Weather Bureau for frequent reports on the progress of the storm. However, Nathan L. Smith, chief engineer of the commission, said there was little his department could do in advance. Workmen can be mobilized for quick repair work and machinery made ready, but no pro- tection can be given roads. Only in case of high water, he said, might roads employes be able to protect highways with dykes. A watch can be kept on bridges to make sure that they are not being undermined. The State police radio station car- ried bulletins on the advance of the storm for the benefit of substations throughcut the State. Maj. Enoch B Garey, commander of the force, said that his men would be on the alert to protect traffic in case high water accompanied heavy winds. Maj. Garey said no extra men had been sent to ! the Eastern Shore, where damage was centered in the 1933 hurricane. The Conservation Commission said it felt no anxiety about its fleet of patrol boats. The Dupont, the 196- foot Magship of the fleet, was some- where in the Chesapeake Bay. Judge Robert R. Duer, chairman of the com- mission, and Capt. Amos Creighton, commodore of the patrol fleet, were aboard. The Dupont left Cambridge vesterday for an inspection trip and its destination was not known.

The motion was entered orally, he explained, because he had never represented Zioncheck in Municipal Court and therefore could not appear there officially to- day. Ammerman contended Mrs. Zion- check could not be made a party to the suit. She is administratix of her husband’s estate in the State of Wash- ington, he explained, but cannot be sued in District courts because the latter are without jurisdiction. Robert H. McNelll, counsel for Mrs. Young, countered with the contention Ammerman had no legal status in the court and, therefore, had no right to make the motion for dismissal. Mrs. Young, he said, intended to have an administrator or administratrix ap- pointed here for Zioncheck to serve as custodian of property now under attachment, including his automobile, thereby giving the local court juris- diction again. “MODEL” REGATTA HELD [ ] Full Sports Base Ball Scores, Race Results, Complete Market News of the Day, Latest News Flashes from Around the World.
