Game i wtih Jolim: Senate Passes Legislation and Sends It To Conference WASHINGTON, June 19 (AP) The senate today passed legislation Intended to enlarge the American merchant marine through direct subsidy payments. It carried without a record vote and was sent immediately to conference with the house for action on senate amendments. Whether the differences could be adjusted before adjournment of congress was in doubt.

Senator Clark made the principal speech in opposition to the subsidy legislation which would substitute direct payment for the present mail contract subsidy system. 50 Per Cent. Subsidy. For construction, a subsidy up to 50 per cent of the cost would be authorized with approval of four of the five members of the maritime commission, created by the bill. Operators would have to put up 25 per cent in cash.

The government would lend the remaining 25 per cent at 3 percent to be repaid over 20 years. If a reputable operator could not put up the 25 per cent the government could construct vessels and charter them to him. A $25,000 salary limitation for officers of companies receiving a subsidy would be prescribed. New Star Is Exploding At A Rapid Rate WILLIAMS BAY, June 19 (AP) The new star which blazed up suddenly in the sky last night is exploding at the rate of 500 miles a second, Dr. Otto Struve, director of Yerkes observatory of the University of Chicago, reported Friday.

The speed was determined by spectrum studies made by Dr. George Van Biesbroeck, of the observatory, when the nova was first observed in the telescopes last night. Dr. Struve said. Light from the star showed that hydrogen and helium gas was being thrown off by the far-away sun at that rate.

The explosion, the observatory director explained, was what made the star visible to the naked eye. Before some mysterious force started the stellar blast, Dr, Struve said, the star was of the 15th magnitude, and could be Greenberg Has Little Or No Chance to Resume Play This Year. DETROIT, June 19 (INS) Hank Greenberg, slugging first-baseman of the Tigers, never may swing a bat again. The broken wrist, has robbed the world's champions ot the services of the league's "most valuable" player last year, has not healed. It Is doubtful when the wrist will mend enough for Greenberg to resume his post at first base.

Furthermore, Internati onal News Service definitely learned today that Greenberg will be unable to get back into regular play on July 1, as he had anticipated. His k-' i af. elArat oasiNKH wrist still is in a cast, with July 1 less than two weeks away. Han khlmself is reticent on the matter, referring questions to Dr. Frederick C.

Kidncr, noted bone specialist, who is treating him. It was suggested to the slugger that he would be gambling his baseball future if he went into action prematurely. To this, Greenberg said: Willing to Gamble. "If my wrist feels good, I'm going to play. I'll be willing to take the gamble." Greenberg's wrist was broken twice.

The first break, suffered during the world's series last year, was a minor one. But the second fracture is the serious one, the break that has failed to heal. Dr. Kidner, beyond admitting the broken wrist has not healed, declined to discuss the matter. Nevertheless, broken wrists are rare among ball players.

It is through the wrists that the hitters get the final "snap" which represents the difference between propelling a ball out of the park and tapping lightly or propping up. Smart to Stay Out. "Greenberg might be able to play this year, but it would be a smart thing if he didn't," several bone specialists told International News Service. "He would be risking his baseball future." Probably no man in present day baseball likes the game as well as Greenberg. He has worked out frequently with the Tigers with his wrist in a cast.

When Jake PCwell, now with the Yankees, then with the Senators, crashed into Hank at first, causing the break in Greenberg's wrist, the Tiger slugger was hit-ting .348. The Greenburg punch has been painfully missed by the Tigers. It would be hard to find equal tal ent at the plate to replace him at this stage of the pennant race. (Copyright, 1936, I. N.

NEW YORK, June 19 (INS) We took a brief peek at llerr Max Schmeling as he left the Hippodrome yesterday, after weighing in for his fight tonight with Joe Louis, and he showed no signs of nerves or fear. Neither did Louis. But Joe never shows anything except how it should be Schmeling thus scores a roundabout victory over his conqueror, Max Baer. A 24-hour postponement of the Baer-Louis bout would have left the Livermore, heavyweight in such a state of nerves that he might never have made it to the Yankee stadium. And would have been delighted, no doubt, if he hadn't.

No postponement is exactly good for a razor sharp fighter, but it's hsrd to think of two opponents who would be likely to take it more calmly than Joe and Max. Schmeling is Teutonic and phlegmatic; Louis just plain calm. GENE TUNNEY always had such perfect control of himself that delays and postponements did not trouble him. Dcmpsey was exactly the reverse. Jack did not get the name "Tiger-man" for nothing.

Before a big bout, he paced the floor like a caged tiger, and I'll never forget Jimmy DeForest telling me how he went sleepless night after night at Toledo, while Jack walked the floor like an anxious father with a sick child. Great and game as he was, Dempsey definitely was a desperation fighter. Which was one reason why he became less dangerous as he grew older he no' longer had youthful excess energy to burn. As one of my colleagues said of Dempsey the other evening at the Astor: "They could batter his face, but they could never break his heart." IN THE case of tonight's tussle, the chief sufferers from the postponement may have been the sports writers. With sunshine today, the delay might easily help the gate and the principals are, fortunately, not the type to be affected.

But our gang must work over yesterday's adjectives and predictions while awaiting the outcome. For your correspondent, at least, yesterday was one of those days when everything runs in reverse. The fight was postponed. We lost four ringside seats out of our pocket and got soaked trying to find them. And then, having been invited to appear on Rudy Vallee's radio program, we made it an even hundred per cent by deftly losing a page of script.

A loss which we did not dis cover until we were before the microphone and half through with what we had to say. Add embarrassing moments! WE MANAGED to stagger through to the end of the round and we hope Rudy and his listeners will forgive us, although we 11 be some time for giving ourseii lor the carelessness. There are days like that. Schmeling may have one today or possibly even the brown bomber. The ram.

however, has nnt dampened our enthusiasm over the Alabama shuffler as a fighting man. We would have had to see Schmeline beat him in his. Mn' heyday, and that we suspect is some time past. Even so, the German gave every evidence of beine In Derfect nhvs- ical and mental condition, and, whatever the outcome, his lack of fear of the greatly feared Louis is definitely to his credit.

Turns to Collective Se curity Through Mutual Assistance Pacts PARIS, June 19 (AP) The French cabinet agreed today to "accept cancellation of sanctions against Italy dependent upon "any decision adopted by the League of Nations." France may now turn her attention to reinforcement of the collective security system through mutual assistance agreements, the cabinet of Premier Leon Blum In dicated. The cabinet decided to "pursue actively putting to work" of "proper means" for such rein forcement, it was announced. The cabinet's action, it was re ported, was taken as a result of Great Britain's decision to support a recommendation to suspend existing economic and financial penalties against Italy. Official sources did not disclose whether the sanctions were immediately abolished or whether their cancellation was subject to a vote of league members at Geneva. The ministers, however, gave their private impressions sanctions were ended as far as France was concerned.

June 19 (AP) A Philippine plan to defend "every foot of shore line" In the Inhabited islands with men, torpedo boats and airplanes was submitted to the commonwealth assembly today by Moj. Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

General MacArthur, head of the American military commission charged with setting up a low cost, but air tight, scheme of de fense, today was made field mar shal of the Philippine army. He formerly was the United States army chief-of-staff. When the plan attains fruition. he said in his report to President Manuel L. Quezon, conquest of me Philippines would be so cost ly in men and money as to "give pause to the most ruthless and powerful." The proposed set-up, involving the use of small speed boats with torpedoes, plus air defenses, would make an invasion of Luzon, on which Manila is located, almost impossible, he added.
