CHICAGO (®.—George S. May, president of the Tam o’ Shanter Golf Club, said today that in view of the cancella- tion of the 1942 U. S. G. A. Amateur golf championship, his club would hold an all- American amateur event the week of September 7 in con- junction with the $15,000 Tam o’ Shanter Open. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK., Jan. 10.—The United States Golf Association today can- celed all of its 1942 national cham- pionships, including the open, the amateur, the women's title event and the public links’ tournament. While canceling all of its na- tional championships, the U. S. G. A. said it would not take any action on sectional tournaments, leaving that to sectional officials to deter- mine. Joe Dey, secretary of the U. 8. G. A, pointed out that the action would have no effect on the winter tournaments, since they are con- trolled largely by the Professional Golfers’ Association. Both organi- zations, however, are working to- gether on exhibitions for the benefit of various war relief funds, he said. The U. S. G. A. amended its by- laws to permit amateur golfers to | receive up to $100 in Defense bonds | | as prize money in any tournament. | Heretofore, amateurs won only trophies. Approval also was given for three Nation-wide one-day tournaments to be plaved May 30, July 4 and September 7 as part of the “Hail America” physical program. The three tournaments will be held on a medal play handicap basis at the association’'s member clubs. The U. S. G.

HANNA, Wyo., Jan. 10.—The body of an Army fiyer, missing since the crash of a four-motored bomber Thursday night, was found today beside his partly opened parachute 8 miles south of Hanna. Seven crew mates of the dead fiyer, identified only as Lt. Wolkin, successfully parachuted. Troopers from Fort Francis E. Warren, who found the body, said the flyer apparently was hit by the big plane after he bailed out. ch WASHINGTON, WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION b O, SATURDAY, JANUARY Hike Farm Prices Before Controls, Defying McCarran Acts To Block Shift 0f Agencies Resolution Would Ban Transfers Without Consent of Congress (Earlier Decentralization Story on Page A-3.) A new move to block transfer of Government agencies from ‘Washington was made this after- noon when Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada introduced a resolution to prohibit any shifts without the consent of Congress. The chairman of the | Senate District Committee took this action after consultation with leaders of Senate and House District Committees. The resolution declares that it is the belief of the Senate that the action of the Budget Bureau in ordering certain Government agencies and offices to move from the District “is without authority of law and contrary to the will of Congress and without knowledge of the Congress and that the execution of such order will result not only in vast increases in expenditures but also to increase inefficiency in governmental operation and the a tual impairment of good govern- ment.” ‘The resolution further states that “the execution of such orders should be stayed immediately.” It directs before taking any further steps toward removing any agency or office from the District, shall sub- mit a report to the Senate giving full and detailed information as to the reasons for the issuance of such order, the statutory authority upon which it is based and a full and complete disclosure of all facts in connection with each and every agency or office directed to be moved.” Basis for Order Questioned. The McCarran resolution explains that the Senate and House District Committees have been meeting in almost daily joint sessions with a view to determining the advisability and feasibility of mcving agencies and offices from the District. It states that these committees have of any statutofy authority for any person or Government agency to order such removals. The joint tion and data which the resolution says should be considered by the Budget Bureau in connection with the proposal to move such agencies. The resomtion emphasized that the committees “have endeavored to obtain on several occasions, but without success. through personal appearance at public hearings of responsible officials of the Bureau phone calls and correspondence with the directing heads of that bureau information as to the basis for the orders issued and pertinent data regarding the selection of sites. building, equipment, cost of moving agencies and personnel, and pro- visions for the aceommodation of offices and personnel in other lo- calities.” The resolutton states that numer- ous letters and telephone calls have | been received by the Senate and House District Committees to the effect that the personnel havé been charged with disloyalty and lack of patriotism if they oppose the mov- ing of their agencies. Increased Costs Claimed. Senator McCarran points out in the resolution that the removal of such personnel involves monetary losses of incalculable amounts as well as the disruption of home and civic'life. In the opinion of repre- sentatives of the agencies affected, expressed in public hearings, the ef- ficiency of the Federal Government will be seriously impaired, and the increase in cost of maintaining the offices away from Washington wil!

Clayton Provision Invoked. | Counsel for the plaintiff in the | suit said that the action invoked the | provision o | plementary | Anti-Trust Act, which makes it possible to request damages three times in excess of the amount ac- tually alleged to have been sus- tained. The complaint alleged “an unlaw- ful combination and conspiracy to injure the plaintiff by hindering and restricting Mutual in its abil- ity to freely and fairly compete in the transmission in interstate com- | merce or Nation-wide network pro- grams.” It also accused the defendants of hindering the sale of national net- work time, attacked N. B. C. long- term and exclusive contracts and optional-time clauses. Practices Challenged. ‘The suit alleged that N. B. C. did not operate its Red and Blue net- asked that N. B. C. be enjoined from carrying out the alleged conspiracy and from maintaining or entering into further contracts with affiliated stations. Another allegation was that long- term N. B. C. contracts in cities having less then four broadcasting stations with adequate facilities and exclusive and optional time clauses of such contracts were illegal and in restraint of interstate trade and commerce and that operation of two networks by the defendants was illegal. Many. of the Mutual suit allega- tions were similar to those in a civil suit filed by the Government December 31 against R. C. A, N. B. C. and the Columbia Broadcasting System. In that action the Govern- ment, alleging monopolistic prac- ties, sought to require N. B. C. to sell assets of one of its network and to prohibit C. B. S. from con- tinuing or meking further exclusive affiliation contracts. Miami-Nassau Race Is Ordered Canceled By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Joe Louis, heavyweight champion, appeared at local Board 20 of the Selective'Serv- ice Board early this afternoon to have his induction papers trans- ferred to New York .preparatory to joining the Army—probably next| Wednesday. His appearance came a short time after it was announced in Chicago that he had been ordered to appear there Monday for a physical exam- ination. Col. H. Clay Supplee, Army morale officer, said Louis would take his examination Monday at Governors Island and be inducted into the Army at Camp Upton Wednesday since he had voluntarily waived the usual waiting period. 'Meanwhile, the 20th Century Sporting Club announced a crowd of 18,870 paid $189.700.55 to see Louis smash Buddy Baer in one round | last night at Madison Square Gar- den. ' A breakdown was being prepared to find the amount by which the Naval Rellef Society would benefit from the bout. Louis’ entire purse, all of Promoter Mike Jacobs’ profits and a percentage of Baer's share will be donated to the charity. ‘The War Department told Jack Dempsey today that hyu too old Louis Enters Army Wednesday; Dempsey Rejected for Age at 46 for the Army, since he had no_prior military service. The former world’s heavyweight champion applied for enlistment in New York City and asked that his age be waived. In a letter to the New York re- cfuiting office, Col. Harold N. Gil- bert, who directs Army recruiting activities, said, however, existing law prevented approval of the re- quest. Original enlistments are restricted by statute to men between 18 and 35. Only abie-bodied former service- men may re-enlist if beyond 35, and this exception permitted the accept- ance of Man Mountain Dean, the wrestler, who is a World War vet- eran. Dempsey is well within the re- cently-expanded draft age limit of 18 to 64, but not liable to compul- sory military service. Sylvan Schwartz Named Assistant U. S.

There was, however, no confirm- ation from the British that they had yielded Kuala Lumpur. An official Tokio broadcast claimed Lumpur.

The 10-cent “pick-up” plan was | reported to be patterned after a so-called “jitney” service operated | |in Washington during the first| | World War.

Questions were raised by several committee members whether it would be wise for Congress to single out taxicabs in Washington for ex- | emption under the tire-rationing order in view of the fact that other defense centers in the country now having taxicab service would be deprived of it as the tires on the cabs wear out.
