The WORLD of TODAY
K, S. Challenges Blockade Plans
By the Associated Press
Complications of a serious nature were forecast in Washington
last night as Sumner Welles, Acting Secretary of Whr, advised
Great Britain that the United States was not to be understood as
endorsing any principle of interference with its neutral trade.
The announcement followed shortly after the British Embassy
had disclosed that effective December 1, the British would start a
pre-sailing system of investigating Arperfcan exports to ten Euro
pean,neutral nations.
Apparently the notice to Britain that this country was reserv
ing its full rights under International Law to genuinely neutral
trade was given when the export checking plan was discussed, but
Welles did not make clear in what way it applied, or what eventu
alities it might cover.
This news followed shortly after an announcement from London
that Britain would wage an unrestricted sea blockade of Germany
in “retaliation” for mine warfare which counted the 11,930-ton Jap
anese passenger liner Terukuni Maru as its newest victim.
A mine-sweeping trawler of the British navy and two other
trawlers also were added to the mounting list of maritime losses
yesterday. .
German Bombing Plot Arrests
German Secret Police tonight announced the arrest of a man
charged with the November 8th, beer cellar bombing attempt’ on
Hitler’s life, and the capture of two British Intelligence agents
accused of of plotting German revolution.
While the official announcement of the police did not connect
the arrest and capture, they did charge Otto Strasser, one time Hit
ler lieutenant, with organizing the bombing plot, and' the British
Intelligence service with furnishing the money.”"
The man charged with the bombing was named as George
Elser of Munich, who was said by police to have confessed.
In London, the British Foreign Office said neither the British
government nor any agent of it had any knowledge of the German
citizen described as having placed a bomb in the Munich beer cellar.

A PADRE PLAYS PAR GOLF
Rev. J. W. Holland
DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
' Jack Ryerson of Cooperstown, N. Y., where some say baseball
was started, is one of America’s most ardent golfers.^ He has been
playing the game since he was a boy, and keeping records since
1917. He finds that last month he completed a round which gave
him the unusual record of having played 500 different golf courses.
Mr. Ryerson considers Pinehurst is “tops” as a golf resort. He
has been coming here for many" years, and in 1934 won the Mid
winter tournament. In 1931 he was runner-up in the North and
South amateur championship.
Jack has played golf in Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, Great Britain,
France, China, Siam, India, Malay and , in practically every state
in this country.
Born in Chicgo and educated at Yale, Jack has made his home
for many years in Cooperstown, where a golf course is included
in the family estate. This course was formerly the property of the
Otsego Golf Club. In recent years Jack has managed it.
Among important incidents in the golfing career of Mr. Ryer
son, are the following:
He has made three holes-in-one. The 12th at Pebble Beach in
California; the 14th at Pine Valley and the 12th at Cooperstown.
He has participated in 250 golf tournaments and has won 32.
Most important wins were in the Southeastern amateur champion
ship at Phoenix in 1926; the Cooperstown invitational, five tmes;
Eastern New York state in 1938; Florida winter championship, St.
Augustine, twice; Mason and Dixon, White Sulphur, twice; Lake

Maurice Writes On Clinic Issue
Robert E. Harlow, Esq.,
Editor, Pinehurst Outlook.
Dear Mr. Harlow:
The interesting story appear
ing in the Outlook on Tuesday,
November 21st, regarding the
problems of syphilis treatment
in the Pinehurst area, has per
haps not made completely clear
the attitude of the Moore Coun
ty Hospital toward this question.
I Shall appreciate youi* courtesy
if you will print the following
amplification.
Because the Moore County
Hospital exists to serve this sec
tion, and because it is supported
by the people of this whole sec
tion, it always seeks to present
to the public thp full facts in re
gard to any matterv of policy. In
considering the treatment of
syphilis, the hospital emphatic
ally begins with a premise that
syphilis is a great scourge, that
it should be fought efficiently
and continuously, and that the
present campaign against it is a
vital undertaking.
Visiting in Pine
hurst once again is
the Rev. J. W. Hol
land, Padre of the
Holy Trinity Church
of St. John, N. B.
One of the most
rugged men of New
Brunswick, Rev. Fr.
Holland is noted for
the excellence of his
golf. He is just past
60 years of age, but
still plays golf
close to par figures.
He has often been
the principal oppon
ent of Eric Thomp
son of Pinehurst
and St. John, in city
championships and
other competitions
in the New Bruns
wick city.
1 Last season the
i Padre played the
K number three course*
B in par. He is also an
" excellent curler.
The problem is — can the
Moore County Hospital best
serve in this fight by holding a
weekly clinic on its premises?
After careful consideration
the medical staff of the hospital
voted to advise the directors that
in their judgment a syphilis cli
nic for the Pinehurst area should
not be established at the hospital,
but should be continued, instead,
at some other point. ~
At the meeting of the staff on
November 13th Dr. J. C. Knox,
state epidemiologist, who has
general supervision over syphi
lis clinics in North Carolina,
brought out the fact that of 225
active clinics now functioning
throughout the state, only 6 are
in hospitals. Many clinics which
were once located in hospitals
have moved1 elsewhere.
It1 appeared to the majority
present at the above mentioned
staff meeting that the establish
ment of a clinic at the Moore
County Hospital would present
grave difficulties.

A RECREATION CENTER
Bowling, a healthful recrea
tion, which requires skill and
gives much pleasure was brought
back to Piriehurst last night when
four modern, streamlined alleys
were put into play in the Pine
hurst warehouse, directly above
the plant of the Pinehurst Print
ing company on the Aberdeen
road.
From shortly after the noon
hour until early this morning the'
talented bowlers of Pinehurst
and the Sandhills were rolling:
balls down the perfect alleys and5
scattering the pins. It was not
until after two a. m. that the last
ball had been delivered.
Raymond Johnson is to be com
plimented for the establishment
of a recreational center in Pine
hurst, equipped with the latest
and best for bowling. Members
of the wnter colony and hotel
guests wll find a great deal of
amusement and pleasure in par
ticipating in the "various league
games and individual competi
tor which Mr. Johnson plans for
the Reason.
The alleys are the Dixie sec
tional, made from specially se
lected and kiln - dried maple.
They were placed in the Pine
hurst building by experts repre
senting the Saunier - Wilhelm
company of Pittsburgh.
Rev. A. J. McKelway, pastor
of the Community Church acted
as captain of a side of nine bowl
ers last night, whifch was defeat
ed by a team headed by Meredith
Herndon. The score was 801 to
769.
Chester Williams was among
those who bowled, and he was
asked to select a team from
among the membership of the
Tin Whistle' Club for an early
match, against a side selected
and captained iby Rev. Mr. Mc
Kelway.
In last night’s match Myron
Barrett rolled the highest string.
He toppled 101 pins. William
Wilson was next best with 100
fallen pins.
Best string of the night was
rolled by Lou Koch of the Pine
hurst Press Bureau and Pine
hurst Outlook staff. Shortly af
ter one a. m. this morning he
bowled over 142, eclipsing the
record of 122, made earlier in
the night by W. R. Murray of
Southern Pines. Mr. Koch's
score by frames:
10 9 18 19 16 19 14 9 18 10—142
This is a good string in any
man’s league.
Howard Dupont, who has ‘had
experience in handling results
on official scoreboards .for the
United States Golf Association
and the P. G. A. is bowling sec
