BAKER INHOSPITAL AFTER OCEAN DASH Yanht Apparently Victorious in Race to Save Life of Banker. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, May 29.—Apparently victorious in a 300-mile race to save the life of George F. Baker, multi- millionaire banker, the yacht Viking arrived in Honolulu early today. The condition of Baker, stricken with peritonitis, was described as “satisfactory.” Doctors and nurses rushed aboard the yacht as soon as it docked to aid the financier whose battle to over- come peritonitis was aided by doctors of two nations, a British nurse and three Federal agencies. Dr. John A. Newell, 70-year-old Australian eye specialist who left the liner Niagara in midocean to aid in an emergency operation, said the New York banker “took a turn for the better vesterday and will recover.” The yacht, arriving shortly after midnight (5 a.m. Eastern standard time), brought first definite infor- mation of the 2-hour operation. per- formed 300 miles southwest of Hono- lulu. Dr. Arthur Ambler, the 59-year-old | New York banker's personal physi- cian and companion on a South Seas cruise, performed it, with the Aus- tralian doctor and a British nurse assisting. | Dr. Newell said he administered ether. Dr. Newell, who was in gen- eral practice until 10 years ago, was| en route from Sydney to San Frsu\-, cisco to attend an eye specialists convention. Members of the party said Baker began to feel ill Tuesday morning. He was put to bed immediately, but his | condition steadily grew worse. Tues- | day night it became critical after the arrival of serums aboard the ! Coast Guard cutter Taney which con- voyed the yacht into Honolulu. " Golf (Continued from First Page.) overshot the short twenty-sixth and hit & bunker. Munn got one of these holes back by sinking a 12-footer at the twenty-seventh and thet entered the home stretch with the final issue still in doubt. Munn was bunkered at the twenty- eighth, overshot the green with his re- covery and picked up to give the American a lead of 2 up. Sweeny tossed this right back in the Irishman’s lap by pushing his drive at the twenty- ninth into rough, but regained his two- hole margin at the thirtieth where Munn was half-stymied. Match Ends at Thirty-second. They halved the thirty-first, but Munn went three down at the thirty- second where he was half-stymied He kept the match alive by winning | the thirty-third while Sweeny badly | topped his drive. The American ended matters on the thirty-fourth by sinking a 20-foot down-hill putt for a deuce. Munn looked completely exhausted ; 82 he walked over to congratulate the winner. The day was perfect, but Munn, tisually very jovial, looked tired. He | hacked into the long grass to lose the first hole. After halving the second, the 25- year-old Sweeny captured the third | hole, sinking a 25-footer for a deuce. | He also took the fourth with a single putt of 18 feet as Munn’s short game continued weak. The Londoner's victory would give America technical claim to Great | Britain's most coveted golf crown, al- though Sweeny has spent most of his life on this side of the Atlantic, FOL D.

NEW YORK, May 29.—Roscoe Alls, the comedian, could play his phono- graph record without fear of inter- ruption today, but the other record— the Supreme Court record—says he has to pay Mrs. Ails $20 a week ali- mony and no joking. It’s a pretty good record—the phono- graph record—Roscoe thinks. So good he brought it into court yesterday to convince Justice Samuel J. Harris that his wife was mistaken when she and her brother and her two aunts thought his hoofing partner, Betty Lewis, was in his room one night in February. What they actually heard when they were standing outside his room, Roscoe testified, was the phonograph, grinding out the act of hat-cha Joe Millerish jokes Roscoe had made with Betty to sell their act to & W, P, A, group. Remember that joke about the freckle? She—What's that on your shoulder? He—A freckle. She—Well, it's walking. Well, that was one of the bits of snappy dialogue in the recorg. Some of the rest went like this: He—Oh, darling, since I met you I can't eat, I can’t sleep, I can't drink. She—Why? He—1I got no money. And then this piece of whimsy: He—Lie in my arms. Look at me with the good eye. Tell me, do you love me? She—Yeah, man! ‘The phonograph played brightly. The court listened carefully in grim silence to Roscoe's novel alibi pres- entation. But the court wasn't con- vinced even when Roscoe said he had been eating an apple, and surely a man wouldn't be eating an apple if he had a toothsome gal in his room. But Mrs. Ails and her relatives in- sisted that Betty was there, that Ros- coe's face was smudged with lipstick and that Miss Lewis dived into a closet when they entered. So Mrs. Ails got the divorce, custody of their daughter, Joe Roscoe Ails, 6 and assurance of $20 a week. But Roscoe has the record—the phonograph record.

By the Assocfated Press. Congressional leaders expressed doubt today that the proposed “agri- cultural adjustment act of 1937 would be enacted at this session, but predicted passage of the “ever-normal granary” program. They said the granary proposal of Secretary Wallace escaped criticisms directed against other features of the broad farm program drafted by the American Farm Bureau Federation. President Roosevelt told reporters he would like to see Congress pass legislation embracing the granary sys- tem. It would provide for storing up surplus foods of bumper crop years for use in lean years. Some members of the House Agrie culture Committee expressed doubts about the merits of the Farm Bureau Federation's suggestion that farmers be assured a “fair” price through Federal payments when prices went below an established level. Although Wallace supported the price guarantee, Chairman Jones of. Manero.
