Morgenthau Urges in New York Speech v. t __ Treasury vHead Calls For Less Spend ing in Relief, Highways, Public Works and Agriculture BYRD DEMANDS CURTAILMENT NEW YORK, Nov. 10—(ff)Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau tonight; called upon the administration to bal ance the budget by cutting expendi tures. In what appeared to be an ef fort to encourage business to pull itself out of its current slump, the treasury secretary intimated that tax receipts would be insufficient for the current rate of spending, and advo cated a $695,000,000 reduction in next year’s federal expenditures. Specifi cally he called for less spending for relief, highways, public works and agriculture—apparently aiming a blow at some proposals to be up for con sideration at the special session of Congress which convenes next week. \ In addition Morgenthau advocated broadening the income tax structure to include more persons on the tax rolls. Senator Byrd, Virginia Democrat and advocate of economy, also de manded tonight that the federal gov* ernment stop "writing checks*’ which will eventually visit terrible -conse quences on our people. In his speech before the Academy of Political Science Senator Byrd declared'7 that it is inevitable that the. national credit will be impaired unless we retrench. Vv. PINEHURST SCOREBOARD By Robert E. Harlow Donald J. Ross, Chief of Staff of Pinehurst golf, played himself in for the 1937-38 season yesterday over the No. 3 course with a remarkable score of 85-33—68. He accomplished this with a brilliant finish of 2-4-3-3-A Mr. Ross was a member of a four ball match in which Lloyd D. Brace of Boston was his partner against former- Governor Channing H. Cox of Boston and Richard S. Tufts, ft was a game in which two points were credited to each hole and Mr. Cox and Mr. Tufts nosed out a one-point victory. It was the professional- finish of the former Governor which brought vic tory for his sfde. He played the last five holes in 3-4-4-S-6. Mr. Tufts scored 35-37—72. He played on even terms with Mr. Ross for the first nine but lost ground to the exceptional 33 Mr. Ross stroked on the final nine. The first tournament played on grass greens in Pinehurst was the, 1935 Midi-South events when Gene Kunes and Dick Metz won the pro pro 36-hole bestball competition with a card of 137, and Orville Whitp, of Greensboro, the individual with 144. Previous to the grass greens the competition was held over the sand greens and produced three winning scores of" 131, by Henry 'Cuici and Joe Turnesa in 1928; by Tom Creavy and Harmon Barron in 1931, and by Tom Armour and A1 Watrous in 1932. The best individual record ^ver the sand was Mike Turnesa’s 135 Ampng those,who were disappoint ed when the Duke and Duchess can celled their American trip was Hor ton Smith, American Ryder Cul team member, who has played a number of times with the Duke of England. Smith had high hopes of playing with Windsor during the American touf and had cabled the British nobleman an invitation to join him in Pinehurst. Mrs. Estelle Lawson Page of Chap el Hill, women’s national golf champ ion, states that the first time she ever struck a golf ball was at West Point and) that she took an iron and hit it onto the green of a short hole, r (Continued on page 3) V That Was Cost of World War to U. S., Says Treasury on Eve of ■ * ' - . Armistice Day"- ^' ■ ’ ’*. ‘‘ WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Be tween tonights civilian sunset and to morrow's military taps 83 Americans now living will join an old comrade in death. They are veterans of the World War who 10 years ago on Nov. 11 laid down their arms in armistice and who now, the veterans administration said, are dying at that daily rate. Their comrade is that mute senti nel of the warrior dead—America's unknown soldier. Many of the survivors are well and happy, but: Fifty-two thousand are' in hospitals and institutions ... six times that number are without regular jobs . . . some have no eyesight ... others are maimed of limb and mind. The veterans administration has expended $22,236,740,214 ... adjust ed service certificates have gone out to 3,468,067 veterans ... about $1, 400,000,000 ' of the bonds have been turned into cash. r, The treasury, on the eve of Armis tice Day, checked back over the yel lowing ledgers and estimated that the World War has cost the United States— $46,103,000,000! Destiny in 10 years has kicked the scene upside down. The war president, Woodrow Wil son, is long dead. A The wartime assistant secretary of the navy—Franklin D. Roosevelt— will go to the sloping hills of Arling ton cemetery tomorrow to lay a wreath’on the Unknown Soldier's' tomb. Soldiers have become senators . . . generals have died ... captains are colonels . . . heroes of battle are lead ers of industry. Mothers, wives and daughters still write the war department frantically searching for information about the Unknown Soldier ... “He may be ours.” Some of Country’s Leading Trotters Gathered Here ‘ 7*J ■■ • * ' V Activity at Race Track Increased by Arrival of Eight Head for Smith’s Newbrook Stables By Lou Koch Activity at the Pinehurst Race Track, winter training ground of some of the country’s crack threats to the harness horse circuits each year, is continually increasing. Among the most, recent arrivals at the track are eight head at’the New brook Stables, owned by H. Stacy Smith of Newark, N. J., under the training charge of Karl (Vermont) Recor. Recor has set a high mark as a horse trainer in the harness class and has brought in innumerable win ners during his career in the upper circuits. This is the ninth season that Smith has been shipping his stable of trotters and pacers to Pinehurst for winter training. This fact, plus the prominent position the Newbrook Stables hold in money and race-win ning class, is one of the finest recom mendations for the general suitability Pinehurst bears as one of the choicest winter training centers of the world.* The present string at Newbrook Stables includes three 3-year olds, Freckles, Judge Mahoney and Gar ioca; three 2-year olds, Sun Dial, Harris and Blair and two yearlings,, Glorianna and Dana. Freckles, (2:045), by Guy Day, Dam Lockaway Express, is a most pros pective looking race colt. At the Newark meet this season Freckles came within one-half of a second of the world’s record of the famous Mr. Watt, 2.031 over the half-mile trade. Carioca (2:06), by Spencer, dam Carolwyn, was winner of 11 starts out of 15, a promising candidate for next year’s all-age events. Judge r (Continued on page 2)v a r : I *5 . >1, . . . V' . A . .

Harlow Another great Sandhills golf course 9 •i ■ V was re-dedicated yesterday when the Pine Needles -yras opened for play tov the first time since the greens were V changed from those of sand to grass. During the summer grass greens, j ample in size, averaging 6,000 feet in >,■; area, and undulating just enough to make putting interesting, were in stalled. There are other improve- vf ments: large tees, new ladies*' tees on some holes, changes in some fairway design and the , installation of more than five miles of pipe for watering. The Pine Needles justly famous 18 hole putting course just in front of the Hotel is a carpet of perfe^T green and in fine condition for putting. A chil- - dren’s putting course has been added. / Thus, golf in the Sandhills takes j another step in increasing the pres tige gained through 40 years of golf in Pinehurst . ’ .'99 ' 99"lX. ^ ,9 V. 'V Emmett E. Boone, Sr, manager of ? the Pine Needles arrived yesterday and was present when the flags were y put up on the course's brand new grass greens. George T.

J. Maloy, Arthur Thompson, Will- \ iam T. Featherston and Thomas V. v Cantwell, all \members of the Rich mond County Country Club of Staten Island. They are guests at Pine / Needles and were enthusiastic in their praise of the layout.
