FARM SPOKESWEN PUSH PR BL Success for Measure This Session Seen if Agree- ment Is Reached. Congressional sponsors placed their hopes for a farm price stabilization bill this session on a conference today of farm organization representatives with the House Agriculture Committee, They predicted that officials of the National Grange, the Farmers’ Union and the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration would convince the commit- tee that immediate legislation is need- ed to prevent excessive surpluses and low prices in 1939. If the House committee agrees, sponsors said it would be “relatively easy” to get the Senate Agriculture Committee to fall in line. The Senate Committee decided last week to hold regional hearings on price legislation after adjournment preparatory to enacting a general farm program next year. The American Farm Bureau Fed- eration decided to make a last stand before the House committee for en- actment of a crop control bill at this session of Congress. Regional Farm Bureau leaders from | all parts of the country responded | to a call by President Edward A.| O'Neal to help draft an l’l(‘\(‘nlh-: hour appeal An all-day conference was spurred to action by a statement from Speaker Bankhead yesterday that no decision | had been reached as to whether ad- ministration leaders would press for new farm legislation at this session. Bankhead made this statement after | R conference with Senator Barkley of | Kentucky, the Democratic Senate leader. Senate farm leaders expressed dis- appointment that a meeting yesterday of President Roosevelt and Senator Barkley did not produce an imme= diate demand for this proposal. Sen- ators Pope, Democrat, of Idaho: Me- Gill, Democrat, of Kansas, and Black, | Democrat. of Alabama stood ready m; press for action if the market decline in corn prices continues, | | Tennis (Continued From First Page.)

Effective on his service, uncannily | accurate with all his shots, the 21- year-old Milwaukee star ran Hare, a newcomer to Davis Cup tennis, ragged | with well-placed lobs whenever the | big British southpaw sought to take | the net, It was no contest at any stage of | the proceedings, for Hare never could get going against Parker's clever gen- eralship. | Parker’s victory not only gave the | United States the trophy for the first | time since France won it at German- town in 1927, but likewise vindicated | his selection by Capt. Walter L. Pate | as a member of the challenge-round | team, replacing Bryan M. (Bitsy) Grant of Atlanta | Parker was hitting the ball so well | that the Briton constantly was off bal- ance and once sprawled his full length in the turf, but kept on hitting the ball from there. When he would get up Parker would race him far back for a lob and then drive deep to each cor- ner before hitting a perfect cut shot | just over the net. The American raced on to take his | own service in the fourth game, los- | ing only one point, for a 3—1 lead, but he and Mako scored over F. H. D.| Wilde and C. R. D. Tuckey yesterday, | set the stage for Parker and the Mil- | waukee youngster took full advantage | of his dramatic opportunity to clinch the cup American tennis aces vainly | have sought for 10 yea | Takes No Chances, | After Parker had handed the tall,| left-handed Hare an astonishinz drub- bing. Budge's final with Austin became | merely an exhibition, | But despite the fact that the pres- sure was off, the Oakland. Calif.. ace was in no mood to spoil his unmarred record. Stroke experimentation cost him the second set, but thereafter he kept Austin under full control. Incidentally that second set was only the fourth Budge has dropped all | vear. He lost one to Parker in the| semi-finals of the all-England cham- | pionships and dropped the first two in | his spectacular five-set match with Baron Gottfried von Cramm in the interzone finals. | The huge silver trophy. sbout the kize of a cart wheel, was brought out on the center court and placed on a table draped in the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack. Cup Handed to Pate. Her highness. the Princess Helena Victoria. stood beside the trophy. As the crowd rose, the princess lifted the cup and handed it to Walter L. Pate, captain of the American team, and | then shook hands with members of both teams. Taking it easy for the first time since the start of the interzone finals, | Budge lost his first four serves, but rallied to take the opening set. He | was trailing at 2—5, but broke through | Austin’s service in the eighth, tenth | and fourteenth games to pull it out of the fire. Austin Breaks Foes' Service. Austin broke Budge's delivery in the third and ninth games for his winning edge in the second set. Budge, after winning the fifth and seventh | games at love, began experimenting | with his shots and finally lost out to Bunny's hard-hit and well-placed drives. Budge won the third set, 6—4, for a | lead of two sets to one. | Budge really started racing around | the court in the third set. He took | the first five games with the loss of only 8 points. He served three aces | for a 40—0 lead in the sixth, but eased up and let Bunny pull out the game. Austin took the seventh on service | and broke through Budge in the| eighth. Then the Briton took the | ninth with the loss of only 1 point | before Budge decided to go to work | again. Then the American ace won | the tenth game at love for the set. Budge Takes Match. Budge came out for the fourth set with his arm around Austin’s shoul- ders and suggested they trade rackets. Bunny, who uses a strange, stream- lined weapon, agreed, whereupon Budge broke his service in the open- ing game for a 1—0 lead. After that first service break by Budge, games followed service until Budge finally broke through again in the ninth for the set, 6—3, and the match. Evidence of the informality of the closing match was forthcoming when the two friendly rivals midway through the final set suddenly stopped play- ing, went over and sat on a rail and had a cup of tea together, to the great amusement of the crowd. Parker's victory, gained under sen- sational circumstances, gave the United States its third, and decisive, point of the five-match series. One more singles match, between Don Budge, Oakland, Calif, red-headed ace, and Henry Wilfred (Bunny) Aus- tin, remained to be played, but this became merely an exhibition.

Hare saved his in the fifth to make the count 2—3 against him. Parker. at this stage, was so superior | to his opponent that Hare looked com- | pletely helpless. He was so worn out | from chasing lobs that he could barely | move. Parker took the sixth game with the loss of only a single point. Hare rallied momentarily to hold his service in the seventh at love, but Parker took the eighth for a 5—3 lead. Finding the range for a time for his first service, Hare won another love game in the ninth to trail 5—4. but Parker held his service in the tenth game for the set at 6—4. Hare won the first game of the third set with the loss of only one point and then took time out to change shoes. The big fellow spread himself down on the grass on the side of the court and placidly took off the old ones, while | Parker got into his big polo coat to | keep warm. Evidently happy in the new shoes, Hare proceeded to race all over the court to break Parker's service, for the first time during the match, in the second game. Frankie, however, aban- doned his baseline tactics in the third game and broke through Hare's de- livery to make the count 1 to 2 against ble fault. Parker tied it up at 2—2 by holding | his service in the fourth game and then went on to take the set Parker won the third set, 6—2, and | the match, 6—2, 6—4, 6—2, and| clinched the Davis Cup. | i Airiior{_ (Continued From First Page.) and maintained by the United States | It no longer Arlington | this road and the airport has offered $25,000 to the county to build a sub- | stitute.

Here is our chance to get an adequate airport at no expense to the Federal or District governments. This bill should be passed at once.” Wouldn't Back Camp Springs. Nichols explained that he had re- fused to sign the District Airport Com- mission’s report recommending the Camp Springs site because he believes it should have provided also for a close-in airport. He said the Camp Springs site, if developed, probably would “be the best airport in the world.” Samuel J. Solomon, general manager of Washington Airport, told the com- mittee that if the May bill is passed it will be possible to construct a new runway more than a mile long cross- ing the present 4,200-foot runway. “This construction would take care NOTICE DUE TO THE DEATH OF MR.

The time is coming when all cities must have two major airports, and Washington is no exception.” Solomon said that before making his offer of $25,000 to Arlington County for a substitute road he had consulted with a contractor who has built many miles of new roads in the county. He asked for a price on a substitute road of “as good or better type of construc- tion” than any of the new roads the county is building. The estimate, he said, was less than $25,00.

With these two Police Court ap- pointments disposed of, the President will have settled a local patronage problem which has been kept alive ever since the terms of Judges McMahon and Hitt expired last Winter.

C, TUESDAY, TAMMANY SWITCH TOWHALEN LOOMS Dooling’s Death Compli- cates Status of Copeland as Tiger Choice. By the Associatea Press. NEW YORK, July 27.—A brewing revolt in its pro-New Deal wing today threatened Tammany Hall's support of United States Senator Royal S. Cope- land in his quest for the mayorship of New York City. Out of respect for its dead chieftain, James J. Dooling, who died yesterday of apoplexy, the historic wigwam's subleaders declared a surface truce until Thursday in the task of picking his successor. But battle lines were forming quietly and one of the chief issues was whether the hall would stand firm behind Copeland, a critic of the Roosevelt administration, or | switch to Grover A. Whalen, urbane | one-time police commissioner. Whalen, a strong New Dealer, is the mayoralty choice of the four Demo- cratic borough organizations, outside Tammany, friendly to Postmaster General James A. Farley. Two Leaders for Post.

S8AN FRANCISCO, July 27.—Strik- ing hotel workers who voted heavily to accept a compromise settlement plun returned to picket lines today | as new labor difficulties kept this city's | 19 major hostelries closed for the eighty-eighth day. ‘The new tie-up involved engineers | and laundry workers, who are nego- tiating unsuccessfully with operators are not on strike. Operators said they could see no gain in attempting to Teopen until a settlement is reached. Culinary and clerical workers, who voted 1,531 to 613 yesterday in favor of a peace plan worked out through | picket lines in an effort to force through new agreements for the engi- neers and laundry workers. The latter did not appear in the lines, Operators and union reprmen(a!l\‘es‘ expressed belief agreements could be | worked out to allow the hotels—closed since May 1—to reopen tomorrow. The strikers jubilantly described | their peace terms as a union victory. | Under the proposal, union demands for higher wages and a 40-hour week will be submitted to arbitration. The employers granted recognition, but not | preferential hiring to the union repre- | senting clerks and office workers. | Union officials explained the dis- | crepancy between the total strike vote | and the estimated 3.200 strikers by stating many of the latter had obtained work in Summer resorts, while others | did not participate in the vote, super- | vised by deputy county registmars.
