Senate Rejects Anti-Strike Rider to Guffey-Vinson Bill WASHINGTON, April 5.—(A3)—'The Senate refused today to write a con demnation of sit-down strikes into the Guffey-Vinson coal bill. It rejected an amendment denounc ln£ sit-downs as “illegal and contrary to sound public policy.” The vote was 48 to 36. The amendment was introduced by Senator Byrnes (D-S. C.) and was fought bitterly by administration lead ers who claimed that any senate ex pression on sit-down strikes should be uiade in an independent resolution and n°t in connection with the coal bill. Defeat of the Byrnes amendment ehmaxed several days of debate in which some adherents of a quick vote °u the proposal argued the senate ? 0UW not sidestep or delay the strike 1Ssue f°r any reason. f At the start of today’s session Byr !!es refused to withdraw his demand °r an immediate vote.

DEFENDING CHAMPION ABSENT By Howard Burns Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Greensboro, N; C. who last week add ed the North and South title to her laurels yesterday flashed around the long number one course at the South ern Pines Country Club in the Ninth Annual Women’s Mid-South Champ ionship in 39—39—78 to lead a field of forty women golfers in the thirty six hole medal tournament. Trailing four strokes behind was Virginia Guil foil, the Syracuse University soph more who tied with Mrs. Karl Schiedt of Norristown, Pa. with 41—41—82 for second place.

Mrs. Page was one stroke under women’s par on the first, second, fif th, eighth and ninth holes and one stroke over on the sixth. On the in ward voyage she was under par on the tenth, thirteenth and seventeenth and one stroke over on the eleventh and fifteenth. Miss Guilfoil, although unaccustomed to sand greens was out two strokes under par but was 6ne over on the return round. Mrs. Scheidt, who also played a steady game, was out two strokes under par but was one [ over On the homeward stretch, both golfers netting one under par for the eighteen. The course is considered (several strokes harder than"the Pine hurst number 3, and this is largely responsible for the higher scores. Mary Kuhn, of Aspinwall, Pa., and Helen Waring, of Pinehurst, played a steady game, getting long drives on a number of the holes but experienced trouble with the sand greens. Miss Kuhn carded a 47-44—91. Other low scores, were turned in by Eleanor Bar ron, of Southern Pines, who carded an 88, Lydia Sherer, of Chicago, an 89 and Mrs. Richard D. Clemson, of Mid dleton, N.

This orchestra had great success at the Versailles, in New York, and previous to that; at the Palladium, London. Their distinctive rhythms and in dividual . arrangements of popular music and tropical tunes have made them one of the most popular dance orchestras and general entertainers of the various metropolitan centers in which they have been featured. Their music creates a mood of romance and glamour which is in keeping with the Springtime atmosphere of this resort community. They are replacing How ard Lally and his orchestra, who left for New York to fill a booking at the Salon Madrid of the Fifth Ave nue hotel. • ^ THE WEATHER North Carolina: Partly cloudy Tues day, preceded by rain on the coast. Cooler in the west portion. Wed nesday fair and colder. b _ One Hundred Forty-Eight Entrants to Begin All Over Again Today. GEORGE T. DUNLAP, JR., HAS A 70 * By A. Linde Fowler A torrential rain that was almost a cloudburst, accompanied by thunder and lightning, caused the postpone ment of yesterday’s qualifying round of the annual North and South Ama teur golf championship. The rain came in such volume that the greens were under water, and the bunkers were miniature ponds, so that putting was out of the question. The fairways had what might be termed casual land, rather than casual water. The doubly unfortunate part - of it was that the storm held off until mid-afternoon, so that approximately half of the field of more than a hundred and sixty starters completed their rounds,jmany of them without getting even a drop, some completing the last few holes in the storm. The trouble was that there were others who had only just started when the storm broke in all its fury. The committee in charge of the tour nament had no alternative, under the circumstances, but to call off the en tire play, because it would not have been fair to make the late starters face such conditions, and well-nigh impossible for some of them even to get around before dark because they were still going off the first tee at three thirty o’clock. On account of the postponement, it is altogether likely that either tomor row or Thursday there will be two rounds of match play instead of one. Some of the players were in hopes that the double round would be played Wednesday, but it hardly seems prob able that that will be the program, because of the size of thie field, even though some drop out. The idea of using both the No. 2 and No. 3 cour ses for match play is not altogether feasible, for the reason that there are many transients not in the tournament who have to be accommodated, and it would be unfair to them to curtail their playing privileges. The postponement robbed George T. Dunlap, Jr., at least temporarily, of the distinction of leading this largest and strongest field for years, in the North and South, because he had turned in a seventy, which undoubted ly would have stood as low of the day. The defending champion, who first won the title in 1931, did not defend in ’32, but won again in ’33, '34, ’35, and *36, was out in thirty-four and back in thirty-six, from markers that were pretty well back. He scrambled for his first two pars, sank a six foot er for his three at the third, missed his four at the fifth by hooking hi& second, sank a fifteen-footer for a bir die at the seventh, went wide with his. second to the eighth and took a five,, but registered his birdie four put with a par at the ninth. At the long tenth, he had only & five-footer for a birdie four: at the thirteenth he was not on in two, but got his four; at the fourteenth, his second was trapped on the right, cost ing him a five; at the short fifteenth, he missed a six-footer for a deuce, and at the par 5 sixteenth his ten-footer for an eagle three hung on the lip of the cup but would not drop. He got his three at the seventeenth, and was left with a par-4 at the eighteenth to break seventy. Here he got a quick hook on his drive into the rough, got a good out and pitched eight feet from the cup, whence his putt for a sixty-nine only lipped the cup. His card: Out '... 443 643 363—34 In .. 444 453 435—36—70 h Charlie Whitehead, the long-hitting New Jersey champion, was .second at postponement time, with a seventy four. He three-putted no fewer than five greens in his thirty-six out and thirty-eight home. Little Frank Stra faci, of Brooklyn, Dick Chapman, and W. T. Bired, Jr., of Durham, former (Continued on Page Two)
