C, THURSDAY, JULY 8§ ‘1937 M At Height of Battle at Tennessee BRTONS 70 LEDS N OFENGOLF PLAY Ed Dudley, at 144, Ties, With Leader’s Brother Two Strokes Behind. By the Associated Press. CARNOUSTIE. Scotland, July 8.— Led by English Reginald Whitcombe's three-under-par 70 for 142, the con- tenders for the British open golf championship gave par a thorough going over in today's second round of the tournament Whitcombe's 36-hole total was good enough for a two-stroke margin over Ed Dudley, big, genial Georgian whose | 70 led the first round, and Charles | Reginald's | A. Whitcombe, brother senior by three vears and captain of the British Ryder Cup team. Two strokes farther back was Denny Shute, American P. G. A. champion and winner of the British crown four years ago. He put together successive rounds of 73 for a two-shot advan- tage on two other United States| entrants, Waiter Hagen and Horton | Smith, and Bobby Locke, the South | African youngster who was low ama- | teur last year. Six Better Par. With part of the field still to come in, six men had bettered par of 73 de- &pite the fact that the Carnoustie course had been stretched to its utmost length of 7.200 yvards. In addition to Reginald Whitcombe's 70, Smith and Charles Whitcombe carded 71s, while Hagen, United States Open Champion Ralph Guldahl, with a total of 149, and Aubrey Boomer of France, with a halfway total of 151, were 1 under standard figures with 72s. Shute and Eric Green, a Briton, who ‘was far down the list at 155, equaled par on their second rounds. As only the 40 low scorers and ties will carry on into tomorrow’s last 36 holes, several of the American entrants were on the edge of being shut out Johnny Revolta was none too secure with his 152 and Henry Picard a shade less safe at 153. Sarazen, Kirkwood Out. The 154 posted by Tony Manero, last year's American open champion, also was shaky, while Gene Sarazen . yesterday, shot them- selves right out of the tournament. Gene, winner in 1932 and low-scoring American a year ago, took a 77, as did Kirkwood. Another sub-par round of 72 for Henry Cotton, chief English hope, pulled the 193¢ champion on even terms with Shute, while one of yester- day's surprises, Bill Branch, Belgian open champion in 1936, scored a 75 for 147 and moved in ahead of Hagen, | Smith and Locke.

Being a thorough operative, the lass looked over the lot and found— a paper-backed copy of ‘Helen's Babies,” a “New Latin Primer,” “Into the Highways and Byways,” by F. F. Montressor; “Jason,” a poem by Wil- liam Morris; “Register of Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States, 1909”; “U. S. Consular Regu- lations, -1886,” and a volume of Sal- magundi papers published in 1814, which gave good scolding to “slang- whangers.” The “slang-whangers” probably de- serve all they got, but we'll bet some of those books stay right on that shelf, free or not free. * ok X ok EVOLUTION. Dr. John P. Harrington, etymo- logical ezpert of the Buregu of American Ethnology, has been delving into the history of words a few thousand years back and emerges from the depths of his Studies with the first explanation of why Mussolini is “Il Duce” and Hitler “Der Fuehrer’ *Seems the two titles once were identical. Here's how Dr. Harrington dopes it out: The Old German word for “leader” was “tohs.” Now Latin was a southern dialect of Old Ger- man and the southerners invari- ably changed “t” to “d” and “h” to “k,” the first southern drawl, as it were. So “tohs” became “doks,” or “dox.” From there it was only a step to “duux.” And “Il Duce” is the modern Italinn corruption of the Latin “Ille Duuz.” * % % X THE OTHER ANGLE. URING the centuries all this phenagling with the tongue was going on down South, the Germans were playing tricks of their own with the language. First they dropped the from “tohs.” Then they changed the “t” to a “z” and the “h” to a “g” as they did with almost all the other words of their ancestors, for ng reasol we could tell you. Anyhow, “tohs’ became “‘zog." Then théy went snooty—began to have things like hereditary titles— and some of the big baronial families appropriated *“zog” for their exclusive use. . They stuck a “herr” before it, making it ‘“herzog,” literally “My Lord Leader,” or, if you prefer, “Mr. Leader.” Cost yeu your head if you: tried to use the ‘title and weren': born to the purple. - 8 commoners A | rgog Barricadeq behind an automobile, combatants in yesterday's bloody battle at the Alcoa, Tenn. hot by rapid fire. ECONOMY MEETING, 1S DUE LATE TODAY 10 Per Cent Cuts Sought, Except in Relief, Army, Navy, Etc. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt will meet this afternoon with representatives of more | than a score of independent and emer- gency agencies and establishments ta | outline his plan to bring about a 10 per cent saving in the funds appro- priated for their use during the present fiscal year. The President figures that if this | 10 per cent cut is actually accom- | plished, he can bring about a saving of approximateiy $400.000.000. Preliminary to this economy confer- ence Mr. Roosevelt conferred this morning with Secretary of the Treas- ury Morgenthau and Daniel Bell, act- ing director of the budget. They worked out tentative details to be sub- | mitted to the afternoon gathering. Relief Outlays Not Counted. The President, in discussing his | saving plan, made it plain that he is determined to balance the budget this year; that is, to balance it so far as possible without including the great | outlays being made entirely in the | name of emergency relief. There- fore, it is expected he will mince no words when he gets the independent agency representatives seated about him in his office. He will take pains to impress on them that just because this money has been allotted, there is mo reason why it all should be spent. His aim is to impound this 10 per cent saving in the Treasury. The President is not so hopeful of bringing about any great saving in the old-line departments of the Govern- ment. He pointed out that this was particularly true in the case of the Army and Navy. Mr. Roosevelt will follow up today's economy talk with a similar one to- morrow afternoon with members of | his cabinet. Own Agencies Not Invited. He did not invite to this afternoon's conference those establishments and agencies whose money is allotted ‘o them directly by the President. He is not worrying about them, as he knows he can personally attend to the 10 per cent saving. Among the agencies 1o be repre- sented at this afternoon’s conference are the Board of Tax Appeals, Cen- tral Statistical Board, Civil Service Commission, Commodity Credit Corp., Electric Home and Farm Authority, Civilian Conservation Corps, Export and Import Bank, Farm Credit Ad- ministration, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, which includes the Home Owners’ Loan Corp., Federal Housing Administration, Federal Power Ad- ministration, Federal Trade Commis- sion, General Accounting Office, In- Serstate Commerce Commission, Na- tional Advisory Commission for Aero- nautics, National Archives, National Labor Relations Board, National Medi- ation Board, Railroad Retirement Board, Reconstruction Finance Corp., Rural Electrification Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission, Smithsonian Institution, - Social Se- curity Board, Maritime Commission, Tariff Commission and the Veterans’ Administration.

The Navy Department said today the Colorado will press the search utilizing planes in the south and southeast sector off Howland Island and also search the Phoenix group of islands.

The captain said today that he thinks the Earhart plane will soon be found and his information is that the sea is calm in that area, so that chances of their rescue are good. Doubting the authenticity of alleged radio messages from the Earhart plane, Capt. Van Auken declared that, as was the case with Rodgers, Miss Ear- hart and her companion are probably receiving messages telling them of rescue attempts. Pointing out that persons in Miss Earhart’s predicament can live for a number of days without food, the captain declared that water is essen- tial.

NEW YORK, July 8.—Conservative and liberal elements of the Protestant Episcopal Church marshaled their re= spective forces today for what ape peared likely to be a bitter, Summer= long battle over the question of mar= riage for divorced persons. The first shot was fired by the church’s commission on marriage and divorce, with its proposal to liberalize canon 41, the “divorce canon,” by giving the bishop of each diocese al- most complete discretionary authority to permit or deny remarriage of di- vorced persons a year or more after the divorce. Under the existing laws which were liberalized in 1931 the church permits remarriage of the innocent party only in a divorce for adultery. The proposal will be submitted to the church’s general convention in Cincinnati October 6. The Living Church, high church Journal, will fire the second shot in its coming issue with an editorial charg- that the proposed amendment would ‘“negative the teaching of and throw the remarriage problem into “chaos.” The Right Rev. William T. Manning, Bishop of New York, long opposed to such liberalization of the *“divorce canon,” was expected to take a lead- ing role in the fight against the pro- posed amendment. In 1931 he was an outspoken foe of the liberalization, ef~ fected soon after his expressed op= position in the Living Church. Chief supporters of the proposal were expected to be the church leaders in Michigan and Missouri, where dio= ceses already have voted to ease re- strictions on remarriage. The Right Rev. Herman Page. Bishop of Mich- igan, chairman of the Commission on Marriage and Divorce, will present the proposal to the Cincinnati convention. “RADICAL GROUP” HIT. Manning Says Divorce-Marriage Pro- posal Will Fail, Bs the Associated Press. SOUTHWEST HARBOR. Me,, July 8.—Bishop William T. Manning of the Episcopal Diocese of New York today termed a church commission report, proposing liberalization of church law to permit remarriage of divorced persons “the work of a rade ical group in the church.” He predicted it would “never be adopted by the general convention' “It is¢ a weak-spirited and time- serving report which seeks to ac- commodate itself to the teachings of the modern paganism,” he said. “If the Episcopal Church should surrender its position as to the sacred- ness and permanence of the marriage relation and as to the evil and wrong of easy divorce, it would be false to its essential principles, it would repudi- ate the teaching and practice of the the beginning and it would separate itself from the Anglican communion throughout the world, of which the Episcopal Church in the United States is a part.” “There will no doubt,” he contine ued in & statement, “be radicals who will advocate all that this report sug- gests, but it may be saild with confi- dence that the church will take no such action.” The report, he added, “* * * should not be taken too seriously.” The Commission on Marriage and Divorce, meeting in New York yester- day, urged an addition to the Episcopal canon on marriage to allow divorced persons to apply, one year from the granting of a divorce, for permission from their diocesan bishop to re- marry. The commission'’s proposed substitution for present marriage laws { of the church would allow the bishop to permit remarriage “* if, in equity and good conscience, he shall choose to do so." “The Seriptures,” said Bishop Man- ning. “have not changed in their teaching on this subject, and the church has not changed., The mar- | riage service in the Prayer Book still says ‘those whom God has joined to- gether let no man put asunder’ and all who are married by the church are still mquired to say ‘till death us do part.’” D.

SIXTH IN SCHOOL EXPENDITURE PER PUPIL Seventy-one cents a day expenditure per student in public schools here placed Washington in sixth place among the cities of the country in 1936 in the cost of education, according to the office of education. The cost here ran up to $124.12 per year, while Albany, N. Y., which stood at the top of the list, spent $147.75 per year, or 82 cents a day. Baltimore spent 48 cents a day, or $90.71 a year; Richmond, Va., 42 cents a day, or $77.50 a year; San Francisco, 74 cents a day; Norfolk, $48.39 a year; Portsmouth, Va., $46.71; Petersburg, Va., $52.19; Alexandria, Va., $44.88, and Harrisonburg, Va., $48.25. Capital Mountie May Choose Steed From 15 at Stable ‘Washington's only mounted police- man will have the pick of 15 horses in Marty Gallagher's riding stable if Rio Rita, the spirited mount recently selected for him, proves too frisky fo. police work. Officials made this clear yesterday a5 Park Policeman L. D. Mason con- tinued to ride easy-going Duke on his beat through Rock Creek Park while waiting for Rio Rita’s sprained shoulder to heal. Rio Rita is expected to be in shape for active duty in a few days, and then Mason will see whether the former Army horse is tractable enough for his use. In stable language, Mason requifes a “dead horse”—one that is easy- going and will stop promptly on cem- mand, because on the park beat he frequently has to halt to give people information. Most riders require just the opposite, a high-spirited horse. Rio Rita was selected for the police jor by Gallagher as the prize of his stable after the Interior Department accepted his bid of $55 a month to supply & mount for the single mount- ed park policeman. >
