PUBUNKS TOURNEY ATTRACTS 2,602 Amateur Event Will Be Held This Year At Detroit, Home Of The Founder NEW YORK, June 30—MWThe world’s largest golf tournament the amateur public links cham pionship of the United States Golf association — will return to the home town of its founder this year with an entry list of 2,602 golfers. This is the 19th public links tournament and the first ever held at Detroit, home of James D. Standish, Jr., first chairman of the U. S. G. A. public links com mittee and donor of the individual championship cup. It will be play ed July 22 to 27 with 192 survivors of the record entry list competing. Sectional qualifying rounds are scheduled for 39 locations. Some of these 36-hole tests already have been completed. The others will be held during the period from July 5 to 8. The total entry of 2,601 is 201 above the figure for last year, the first when sectional qualifying rounds, were required. According to U. S. G. A. officials, “as far as is known, .no other major golf competition in the world attracts as large a field as this.” Five former champions, are granted exemption from the sec tional qualifying rounds and they, too, will have to play through to become eligible for the intercity team competition for the Warren G. Harding trophy. They are An drew Swedko of Pittsburgh, the defending champion; Robert E. Wingate, Jacksonville, 1930; Charles Ferrera, San Francisco, 1931 and 1933; David A. Mitchell, Atlanta, 1934, and A1 Leach, Cleve land, 1938. The Denver district has the larg est entry list, 432, and Chicago the next, 265, but they were awarded only six and seven qualifying places, respectively, as playing strength as well as the number of entries is considered. San Francis co, with 164 entries, was given the top total of 11 qualifying places and Detroit and Buffalo drew ten each with entries of 152 and 164. The entries and number of qual ifying places for each district, in clude Pinehurst, N.

There have been other instances, too, where the timetable of this war has been published in advance. The view that Moscow is pre paring for a clash it considers in evitable is one of three principal interpretations of the Balkan move that seems to have caught Berlin off guard. It is supported, how ever, by virtually every major de velopment in eastern Europe since the war started. It could be of course that bol shevik Russia, lately as imperi alistic as Russia of the Czars, is merely continuing to grab while the grabbing is good, neither the axis dictators nor Great Britain being in a position for the moment to oppose. Berlin, apparently taken aback when the Red army started mov ing into Bessarabia on the heels of a short ultimatum, undertakes now to spread the impression that the occupation was in accord with last August’s compact by which Russia became a passive partner oi the axis. Both these alternate explana tions fail to carry full conviction in the light of the historic German “drive to the East” toward wheat lands of the Ukraine and the oil beyond. It is fairly well established that Rumania’s King Carol appealed to Berlin when the Moscow ultima tum came. He was advised to sub mit and very likely was given pri vately a reassuring hint that a day of reckoning was approaching. Such reassurances, according to diplomatic reports, were likewise given Lithuania’s foreign minister when Red troops earlier moved into that and neighboring small Baltic states. Whatever his motives, Stalin’s every move has had the effect of strengthening Russia’s position immensely against a collision with Germany, whether it come in Sep tember or another time. In the north, the Red army has dug in along the German border of east Prussia. The occupation of eastern Poland cut off Germany from territorial contact with Ru mania and its oil. Now the Reds are encamped along the vital Danube, have push ed farther into the uneasy Bal kans, and should a clash with the Nazis come, they are in a position quickly to cut off Germany’s Ru manian oil supply. There seems little to support the suggestion advanced by Nazis that Moscow’s move was instigated by beleaguered Britain to divert or weaken the impending onslaught on England. It must have the effect, how ever, of reinforcing British deter mination to beat off the invasion in the hope that it dare not be long sustained. It suggests, too, that forces are shaping up toward re storation of a balance of power in unhappy Europe. 1 UNIVERSAL ARMS TRAINING ASKED (Continued From Page One) to render this country immune from attack.” Unless the further step of con scription is taken, he added, “we must be prepared to spend dollars” for defense “where we now spend cents.” Recalling that President Roose velt had indicated that the admin istration might propose some form of universal government service for young men and women, Capper said he was “unalterably opposed to drafting men and boys in peace time—to say nothing of girls and and young women—for industrial training, for work in labor batta lions, in the name of preparedness.’ National defense also was the subject of various other speeches and statements in the capital dur ing the day. The national economy league, through its executive director, H. G. W. Sundelof, charged that “con tusion still seems to be the order of the day in Washington.” In issuing a summary of congressional appro priations for national defense, the league complained that “we have a loose-leaf method of adding bil lions and yet more billions to de fense costs with seemingly no ad equate analysis of needs.” Colonel F. C. Harrington, WPA administrator, said that “it is my hope,” he said, “that by autumn as much as one-third of the WPA may be engaged upon projects which contribute in some measure ,o the national defense.” In an address prepared for radio delivery (MBS), Harrington said such projects fell into three groups —those which the army and navy would operate directly with funds transferred from WPA; projects sponsored by the war and navy departments but carried out by iVPA as part of state programs; and non-federal projects such as nunicipal airports, national guard irmories, training areas and roads )f military importance 2j O’CROWLEY’^ WILL BE CLOSED ALL DAY THURSDAY JELY 4th In recognition of our National Holiday and in fairness to our loyal employees we will be closed all day July 4th.

Funeral arrangements will be an nounced later. REDS WANT TO AID IN DEFENSE OF THE DARDANELLES (Continued From Page One) Russia might be acting under Brit ish suggestion—as alleged in German circles in Bucharest after the occu pation of Bessarabia — or whether the Russian moves are motivated by the Kremlin’g fears of future ambi tions of the German-Italian axis. Military observers believed that if the Russian forces in Bessarabia are prepared for prompt attack they may be planning a quick, smashing drive across Rumania into Bulgaria. There they would encounter a Bui rarian army of men technically sym pathetic to the Russians, and the ex tent of resistance is entirely ques tionable. Some observers declared that the march of Red armies from the west might quiet—temporarily at least— 20 years of Balkan animosities, and check any chance of fighting among themselves over their conflicting claims. Instead, attention was centered .on possible development of grave issues between the axis powers and the Soviets, with the Balkans pinned be tween the two. These new developments were taken as indicative of fears that Red armies might not stop at the limits of Bessarabia and northern Bucovina in Rumania: 1. —Rumania mined the Black Sea waters outside the important port of Constanta and outside the Danube delta from Sulina to guard against naval attack. 2. —T h e Rumanian government planned emergency transfer to the Carpathian foothills to the west—to ward Hungary—in case of further Red advance. This was taken to mean that the threat of a clash with Hungary over the Transylvanian province of Rumania is diminished. 3. —Hungary bolstered her forces along the Ruthenian frontier, fearful of a Soviet push through the Uk raine. Reliable sources said the re cent “advance” of Hungarian troors toward the Rumanian frontier was prompted solely by concern over So viet aims in Rumania. 4. —Statements in official Bulga rian circles that Bulgaria’s mobili zation was prompted by fears that Russia might push across Rumania toward the Dardanelles, or that Turkey might move north in antici pation of such an attack. U. S. FLEET UNITS | RETURN TO HONOLULU (Continued From Page One) would not be surprised to see the fleet return this week-end. Navy fliers in hurried farewells to families before joining their ships last Monday indicated they were bound for the Panama Canal. The units when last observed were fol lowing the regular steamer lane to the mainland. / Navy officials maintained silence on reports of the fleet’s movements. The fleet left Pacific coast bases Iasi April 1 for annual war games and at their conclusion -more than two months ago Admiral James O. Richardson unexpectedly announced it would remain here and placed its stay on an “indefinite basis.” Since then the fleet has continued train ing exercises, alternating its bases between Pearl Harbor and Lahaina Roads. SEVERAL MISSING IN TEXAS FLOOD (Continued From Page One) County Judge Paul Feitsch of Hallettsville estimated that at least a dozen others were missing. The flood, which struck at 7 a.m. after rainfall of 12 inches in 12 hours, had receded this afternoon and the river was back within its banks. Morgan said it was “impossible” to estimate the damage to business buildings, in all but three of which the water rose 4 to 6 feet deep HOTEL COMMODORE — Washington, D. C.
