The WORLD of TODAY
By the Associated Press
The European war at sea reacted the Indian ocean yesterday
vith the sinking of a British freighter off feast Africa by fire from
a Germa ship. Some observers claimed that a German warship fired,
but others thought the attack was made by an armed merchantman.
The stalemate continued on the Western Front.
A British plane fell into the Seine river and three men were
drowned.
Official German releases stated that Germany, “must liberate
the unbearable yoke of British rule of might in feurope.” This was
regarded as an offensive war aim.
News involving General Motors Corporation originated in Indi
ana and New York. A jury in the Federal Court In South Bend
found General Motors Corporation and three subsidiary companies
guilty of violation of the Sherman anti-trust act, and acquitted 17
officials of the firms.
In New York Charles E. Singed instituted a stockholders’ suit
against G. M. and 34 officers and directors for $155,000,000 allegedly
“misappropriated, wasted and squandered” in bonuses and stock
deals between 1930 and 1938. The complaint asked that the money
be returned to the corporation.

DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
1 A definite change in the activities of the Professional Golfers
Association will result from the election in Chicago yesterday of a
brand new set of officers, headed by Tom Walsh, as President.
The election was a great victory for Walsh, who during the
hectic days at Pomonok, when the annual P. G. A. championship
was “on again, off again,” he refused to move one inch from his
position that Denny Shute was not eligible, and regardless of a
player’s strike, or any other circumstance, should not be permitted
to start.
Shute had not complied with the Association by-laws and made
an official entry. It will be recalled thatvleading players struck and
refused to participate in the championship until George R. Jacobus,
who was then President, announced that Shute should be permitted
to start, regardless of the constitution and by-laws of the P. G. A.
Shute did start. Walsh returned to Chicago.
Since that day the members of the P. G. A. have had a number
of months to think over the situation and evidently came to the con
clusion that a man who had the courage to support the Association
regulations under extreme pressure was the sort of man wanted
in the President’s chair.
Walsh is a non-tournament playing professional and among the
group of better business men who hold membership in the P. G. A.
He has been associated for a number of years with fee golf courses
in Chicago, has organized owners of fee courses in movements which
have profited all in that business, and iiicreased interest among
those who play on such courses. Walsh has also been active in the
administration of the park courses owned by the city of Chicago.
The new President is certain to immediately establish a pro
gram for the benefit of the club professionals. One of the first
moves will be a P. G. A. campaign to improve sales in pro shops.
It is likely that at least tWo merchandizing men will be placed on
the association’s payroll to contact the members and give them per
sonal aid in conducting their business.
The strike at Pomonok was an unfortunate affair for the P. G.
A. and especially foie' the' leading*'tournament players. The stars
have had some cause for complaint because they have had no real
power in the handling of their own affairs, final jurisdiction resting
with the Association’s executive committee. But they selected the
most inauspicious occasion to call for a showdown of power. They
did so at a time when the club, which was acting as host, and the
sponsor who was putting up prize money, became involved and em
barrassed.
It was a messy situation. Through it all Walsh insisted that
the rules of the association be upheld, and it now appears that his
action has been endorsed by the membership.
