Success for Measure This
Session Seen if Agree
ment Is Reached.
Congressional sponsors placed their
hopes for a farm price stabilization
bill this session on a conference today
of farm organization representatives
with the House Agriculture Committee.
They predicted that officials of the
National Grange, the Farmers' Union
and the American Farm Bureau Fed
eration would convince the commit
tee that immediate legislation is need
ed to prevent excessive surpluses and
low prices in 1939.
If the House committee agrees,
sponsors said it would be "relatively
easy" to get the Senate Agriculture
Committee to fall in line.
Tire Senate Committee decided last
week to hold regional hearings on
price legislation after adjournment
preparatory to enacting a general
farm program next year.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration decided to make a last stand
before the House committee for en
actment of a crop control bill at this
session of Congress.
Regional Farm Bureau leaders from
all parts of the country responded
to a call by President Edward A.
O'Neal to help draft an eleventh
hour appeal.
An all-day conference was spurred
to action by a statement from Speaker
Bankhead yesterday that no decision
had been reached as to whether ad
ministration leaders would press for
new farm legislation at this session.
Bankhead made this statement after
a. conference with Senator Barkley of
Kentucky, the Democratic Senate
leader.
Senate farm leaders expressed dis
appointment that a meeting yesterday
of President Roosevelt and Senator
Barkley did not produce an imme
diate demand for this proposal. Sen

Gill. Democrat, of Kansas, and Black.

he and Mako scored over F. H. D.
Wilde and C. R. D. Tuckey yesterday,
set the stage for Parker and the Mil
waukee youngster took full advantage
of his dramatic, opportunity to clinch I
the cup American tennis aces vainly \
have sought for 10 years.
Takes No Chances.
After Parker had handed the tall, |
left-handed Hare an astonishing drub- j
bing. Budge's final with Austin became j
merely an exhibition.
But despite the fact that the pres- >
sure was off. the Oakland. Calif., ace
was in no mood to spoil his unmarred
record. Stroke experimentation cost J
him the second set, but thereafter he
kept Austin under full control.
Incidentally that, second set was i
only the fourth Budge has dropped all
year. He lost one to Parker in the
semi-finals of the all-England cham
pionships and dropped the first two in
his spectacular five-set match with
Baron Gottfried von Cramm in the
interzone finals.
The huge silver trophy, about the
size of a rart wheel, was brought out
on the center court and plaeed on a j
table draped in the S’ars and Stripes
and the Union Jack.
Cup Handed to Pate.
Her highness, the Princess Helena
Victoria, stood beside the trophy. As
the crowd rose, the princess lifted the
cup and handed it to Walter L. Pate, j
captain of the American team, and i
then shook hands with members of
• both teams.
Taking it easy for the first time
since the start of the interzone finals.
Budge lost his first four serves, but
rallied to take the opening set. He
was trailing at 2—5, but broke through
Austin's service in the eighth, tenth
and fourteenth games to pull it out
of the fire.
Austin Breaks Foes’ Service.
Austin broke Budge's delivery in
the third and ninth games for his
winning edge in the second set. Budge,
after winning the fifth and seventh
games at, love, began experimenting
with his shots and finally lost out to [
Bunny's hard-hit and well-placed
drives.
Budge won the third set, 6—4, for a
lead of two sets to one.
Budge really started racing around
the rourt in the third set. He took
the first five games with the loss of I
only 8 points. He served three aces j
for a 40—0 lead in the sixth, but eased
up and let Bunny pull out the game. 1
Austin took the seventh on service i
and broke through Budge in the j
eighth. Then the Briton took the j
ninth with the loss of only 1 point!
before Budge decided to go to work
again. Then the American ace won
the tenth game at love for the set.
Budge Takes Match.
Budge came out for the fourth set
with his arm around Austin's shoul
ders and suggested they trade rackets.
Bunny, who uses a strange, stream
lined weapon, agreed, whereupon
Budge broke his service in the open
ing game for a 1—0 lead.
After that first service break by
Budge, games followed service until
Budge finally broke through again in
the ninth for the set, 6—3, and the
match.
Evidence of the informality of the
closing match was forthcoming when
the two friendly rivals midway through
the final set suddenly stopped play
ing. went over and sat on a rail and
had a cup of tea together, to the great
amusement of the crowd.
Parker’s victory, gained under sen
sational circumstances, gave the
United States its third, and decisive,
point of the five-match series. One
more singles match, between Don
Budge, Oakland, Calif., red-headed
ace, and Henry Wilfred (Bunny) Aus
tin, remained to be played, but this
became merely an exhibition.

tin last Saturday, played virtually
flawless tennis to score the most im
portant triumph of his career.
Effective on his service, uncannily
accurate with all his shots, the 21
year-old Milwaukee star ran Hare, a
newcomer to Davis Cup tennis, ragged
with well-placed lobs whenever the
big British southpaw sought to take
the net.
It was no contest at any stage of
the proceedings, for Hare never could
get going against Parker's clever gen
eralship.
Parker's victory not only gave the
United States the trophy for the first
time since France won it at German
town in 1927, but likewise vindicated
his selection by Capt. Walter L. Pate
as a member of the challenge-round
team, replacing Bryan M. (Bitsy)
Grant of Atlanta.
Parker was hitting the ball so well
that the Briton constantly was off bal
ance and once sprawled his full length
in the turf, but kept on hitting the ball
from there. When he would get up
Parker would race him far back for a
lob and then drive deep to each cor
ner before hitting a perfect cut shot
just over the net.
The American raced on to take his
own service in the fourth game, las
ing only one point, for a 3—1 lead, but
Hare saved his in the fifth to make the
count 2—3 against him.
Parker, at this stage, was so superior
to his opponent that Hare looked com
pletely helpless. He was so wforn out
from chasing lobs that he could barely
move. Parker took the sixth game with
the loss of only a single point.
Hare rallied momentarily to hold his
service in the seventh at love, but
Parker took the eighth for a 5—3 lead.
Finding the range for a time for his
first service, Hare won another love
game in the ninth to trail 5—4. but
Parker held his service in the tenth
game for the set at 6—4.
Hare won the first game of the third
set wdth the loss of only one point and
then took time out to change shoes.
The big fellow spread himself down on
the grass on the side of the court and
placidly took ofT the old ones, while
Parker got into his big polo coat to
keep warm.
Evidently happy in the new shoes.
Hare proceeded to race all over the
court to break Parker's service, for the
first time during the match, in the
second game. Frankie, however, aban
doned his baseline tactics in the third
game and broke through Hare's de
livery to make the count 1 to 2 against
him. Hare lost game point on a dou
ble fault.
Parker tied it up at 2—2 by holding
his service in the fourth game and
then went on to take the set.
Parker won the third set. 6—2, and
the match, 6—2, 6—4, 6—2, and
clinched the Davis Cup.

for the use of the Army. It no longer
is needed by the Army. Arlington
County never has spent a cent for
this road and the airport has offered
$2.3.000 to the county to build a sub
stitute. That amount would build a
better road than the county now has.
It seems to me that is more than fair.”
Nichols pointed out that in Wash
ington Airport the Capital has an air
terminal which never has cost the
Federal or the District Governments
a penny. The field wras pioneered by
private capital which, he said, "has
gone as far as it is possible to go with
out Government co-operation.”
"Had it not been for Washington
Airport, the Federal Government prob
ably would not have the benefit of air
transportation out of the Capital at
all,” Nichols said. "I want to see the
District have as safe an airport as
possible, but congressional action is
necessary. Here is our chance to get
an adequate airport at no expense to
the Federal or District governments.
This bill should be passed at once.”
Wouldn't Back Camp Spring*.
Nichols explained that he had re
fused to sign the District Airport Com
mission's report recommending the
Camp Springs site because he believes
it should have provided also for a
close-in airport. He said the Camp
Springs site, if developed, probably
would "be the best airport in the
world.”
Samuel J. Solomon, general manager
of Washington Airport, told the com
mittee that if the May bill is passed
it will be possible to construct a new
runway more than a mile long cross
ing the present 4,200-foot runway.
"This construction would take care
of all of the District's air transport
needs except in the worst of weather,”
Solomon said, "No airport, however,
can be close in to the heart of a city
and be a perfect all-weather airport.
The time is coming when all cities
must have two major airports, and
Washington is no exception.”
Solomon said that before making
his offer of $25,000 to Arlington County
for a substitute road he had consulted
with a contractor who has built many
miles of new roads in the county. He
asked for a price on a substitute road
of "as good or better type of construc
tion” than any of the new roads the
county is building. The estimate, he
said, was less than $25,000. The
county authorities, however, refused to
agree, holding out for a solid concrete
road, which Solomon said would cost
$50,000.
The committee adjourned until 10:30
a m. tomorrow' after hearing Ricken

merce J. Monroe Johnson will be to
morrow's first witness. Among others
to be heard are Col. Edgar S. Gorrell,

Franco Claims Two Bri
gades Destroyed in
Great Victory.
By the Associated Press.
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron
tier, July 27.—Insurgent dispatches
from the Madrid front today said Gen.
Francisco Franco's legions had slashed
their way to the outskirts of Villa
neuva de la Canada after the virtual
destruction of two of the government's
finest brigades.
The insurgent reports modified an
earlier communique stating that the
Lister and 16th Brigades had been
wiped out.
These two units were reduced to the
strength of a single company, the in
surgents announced, which would
mean that only 300 of an estimated
3,000 men survived the battle.
(The Associated Press correspondent
in Madrid denied the two units had
been wiped out and said by telephone
that they “are still functioning.”)
Canadians In Brigade,
The Lister Brigade, contrary to
earlier insurgent designation as a
foreign volunteer unit, was said to
be the flower of the government's
Spanish troops, composed entirely of
natives drawn from other army units.
The 16th Brigade also is a Spanish
unit.
(Leftist sources in New York said
the Lister Brigade was composed of
Canadian volunteers. United States
volunteers within the international
contingent were said to be divided
between the George Washington and
the Abraham Lincoln Battalions,
which have served many months on
the Madrid front 1
Franco's campaign, the dispatches
said, had captured “all objectives
ordered’’ on the Madrid front. iA
government dispatch admitted Mad
rids forces had fallen back, north of
Brunete. but declared they were hold
ing fast elsewhere on the govern
ment's salient into the insurgent
lines.)

The insurgents also asserted they
had pushed the government further
bark in the Albarracin sector of the
Teruel front. The communique re
ported Franco's columns occupied the
villages of Rovuela and Calomares
after a sanguinary rout of Madrid
Valencia militiamen.
The communique declared that all
of Gen. Jose Miaja's "desperate coun
ter-attacks" in the Brunete sector
had been repulsed.
Sweeping artillery fire destroyed 50
government tanks, it said, and ad
vancing troops captured almost 100
machine guns, many anti-tank guns
and 100 prisoners. Six hundred gov
ernment soldiers were reported to
have deserted to Franco's ranks.
All government positions along the
30-mile looping front which Mia.ia had

rear-guard territory nearly three weeks

Dooling’s Death Compli
cates Status of Copeland
as Tiger Choice.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 27.—A brewing
revolt in its pro-New Deal wing today
threatened Tammany Hall's support of
United States Senator Royal S. Cope
land in his quest for the mayorship of
New York City.
Out of respect for its dead chieftain,
James J. Dooling, who died yesterday
of apoplexy, the historic wigwam’s
subleaders declare a surface truce
until Thursday in the task of picking
his successor. But battle lines were
forming quietly and one of the chief
issues was whether the hall would
stand firm behind Copeland, a critic
of the Roosevelt administration, or
switch to Grover A. Whalen, urbane
one-time police commissioner.
Whalen, a strong New Dealer, is the
mayoralty choice of the four Demo
cratic borough organizations, outside
Tammany, friendly to Postmaster
General James A. Parley.
Two headers for Post.
Chief candidates mentioned for
Dooling's post, temporarily being held
by Acting Tammany Head William P.
Kenneally, were Represetnatlve Chris
topher D. Sullivan of the second as
sembly district and United States
Marshal John J. Kelly.
Kelly was backed by James J. Hines. I
long powerful in Tammany and a
leader in the move to throw the Hall's
support to Whalen. Sullivan was sup
ported by Albert Marinelli, who led
many unsuccessful attempts to unseat
Dooling during the latter's stormy
three-year reign.
Copeland's strongest hopes of re
taining the support recently voted him
by the Tammany Executive Commit
tee lay in the behind-the-scenes aid
of former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, a bit
ter New Deal foe, and a neutral group
within the wigwam.
The neutral Executive Committee
members planned to avoid further rifts
by retaining intact the dominant al
liance now supporting Copeland and
by postponing selection of a new lead
er until after the September 16 pri
mary.

moralized by Dooling's death. Mayor

O. P. primary nomination or run for j
re-election as an independent per
plexed Republican leaders.
Friends of the stocky little Mayor
intimated he still balked at heading a
ticket picked by Kenneth F. Simpson,
New York County G. O. P. chairman,
although in the past he has supported
his proposed running mates—Dr. Jos
eph P McGoldrick for controller and
Alderman Newbold Morris for council
president.
The situation was complicated fur- :
ther by the candidacy of Lambert j

man. and the announced intention of
Senator Copeland to run in the Re
publican as well as the Democratic
primary.

Miaja s ' Mihcianos" been hammered
back.
Despite the reverse, the government
command felt that the insurgent
counter-offensive was slowly wasting
itself and that the Madrid forces would
conquer and shatter the siege of
Madrid if they could but hold their
grip on the salient for a few more days.
The government set insurgent cas
ualties of the last six days at 25.000
and admitted its own losses were
heavy.
It was estimated that 200.000 men.
divided about evenly between insur
gents and the government, were in
volved in the maelstrom of attack and
counter-attack.
While the government fought off
insurgent attackers from the south
(the Brunete sector), the southeast
and east of Villanueva de la Canada,

another strong insurgent drive was di
rected at its positions east of Villa
nueva del Pardillo, at the base of the
salient. 1

STRIKERS RESUME'
PICKETING HOTELS
New Trouble Breaks Out in
San Francisco Despite
Compromise Vote.
By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—Strik
ing hotel workers who voted heavily
to accept a compromise settlement
plan returned to picket lines today
as new labor difficulties kept this city's
19 major hostelries closed for the
eighty-eighth day.
The new tie-up involved engineers
and laundry workers, who are nego
tiating unsuccessfully with operators
for renewal of union contracts, but
are not on strike. Operators said they
could see no gain in attempting to
reopen until a settlement is reached.
Culinary and clerical workers, who
voted 1,531 to 613 yesterday in favor
of a peace plan worked out through
weeks of negotiation, returned to the i
picket lines in an effort to force
through new agreements for the engi
neers and laundry workers. The latter
did not appear in the lines.
Operators and union representatives
expressed belief agreements could be
worked out to allow the hotels—closed
since May 1—to reopen tomorrow.
The strikers jubilantly described
their peace terms as a union victory.
Under the proposal, union demands |
for higher wages and a 40-hour week
will be submitted to arbitration. The
employers granted recognition, but not |
prefeiential hiring to the union repre- |
senting clerks and office workers.
Union officials explained the dis- 1
crepancy between the total strike vote !
and the estimated 3.200 strikers by
stating many of the latter had obtained
work in Summer resorts, while others
did not participate in the vote, super
vised by deputy county registrars.
William A. Speers, business repre
sentative of the engineers, said a meet
ing was scheduled for today to discuss
proposals offered by the hotel oper
ators.
"This is just as much our strike as it
is the culinary groups,” he said, "and
we hope the operators will appreciate
our sincerity in wanting to consummate j
our agreement, thereby lending our
co-operation in the opening of the
hotels.”
