THE READING TIMES READING, PAT MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1935 PHONE CONGRESS DELAY IRKS DEMOCRATS Threaten Stern Measures To Prevent Wholesale Revisions WASHINGTAN, March 26 Irked at the delay of the Roosevelt relief and unemployment aid measures, Democratic leaders tonight threatened to use stern tactics to prevent wholesale revisions and to these proposals on the statute alongside banking, economy and beer as soon as possible. Congress reconvenes tomorrow after three-day recess with the farm and unemployment bills still in the committee stage. The majority party chiefs, however, while withholding details of their strategy, served notice they would brook no undue interference with the heretotore smooth-running emergency program. No Calendar Ready. Leaders had hoped that the laywould provide ample opportunity for agriculture and labor committees get the administration's recommendations in shape for floor consideration tomorrow, but opposition to accepting both as drawn will leave senate and house twiddling thumbs unless quick agreement can be reached on the forest employment proposal.

The farm bill, already passed by the house, and designed to raise prices through acreage and producton control, will not be ready for senate consideration until the latter part of the week. Despite Secretary Wallace's plea for prompt action, Chairman Smith of the agriculture committee. decided to continue hearings this week. Both the senate and house labor committees hope to report a revised administration bill tomorrow to furnish employment in the nation's forests to 250,000 men, but whether they will reach the floors in time for consideration before adjournment is problematical. The only other legislation ready for consideration in both branches is that removing the statutory limitaton of medicinal liquor prescriptions.

Such bill passed the house last session, but never got through the senate. NORRISTOWN PHONE OPERATOR KILLED Girl, 23, Falls from Her Horse NORRISTOWN. March 26 (AP) Miss 23-year old Norristown telephone operator, was killed today in a fall from a horse which police said had one rein of its harness cut almost clear through in two places. Charles L. A.

Eller, Montgomery county detective, said he found the right rein broken after the accident at a riding academy in Fairview, six miles west of here. One cut, which he said caused the sein to break, was made edgewise on the leather, about eight inches above the bit. The other, about an inch above that, was made across the width of the leather. Eller said a sharp knife apparently had been used "very recently." Robert Grover, 19, who has been living at the academy for the last four months, since he was employed by the owner, Eugene Kindlan, was brought to Norristown by Eiler for questioning. TWO JUMP TO DEATH WHEN PLANE FALLS LOS ANGELES, March 26 (A) Blade Hulbert, veteran acrobatic flier, and Andrew C.

Carr, service station operator and sportsman pilot, were killed near the municipal airport today when they leaped from a Supping biplane and plunged to their death without opening their parachutes. Eye-witnesses said the ship at an altitude of about 1,000 feet. The craft seemed to straighten out for an instant, they said, and then fell into another spin. They said they saw Carr jump when the plane was about 200 feet from the ground. Officials said the release strings on the parachutes worn by the flier had not been pulled.

Hulbert February 25, 1931, completed an inverted outside loop, records acclaiming him as the first commercial pilot to accomplish the danserous maneuver. widow and 8-year-old son survive Hulbert. Carr is survived by his former wife and a 12-year-old son. HI HO Res U. S.

For the past three years new clubs have been springing up in mushroom growths, chess books of all sorts are avidly bought, library shelves are depleted of these volumes.

In boom periods, many have left the keen intellectual delight of the game for more boisterous pleasures, only to return to it again in the calmer aftermath. People look about for some saner, more economical method of spending their leisure. What more ideally Ats the purpose than chess? In America we have lagged behind other countries in our devotion to chess.

In Europe, It is serious matter, taught in many of the schools, with vast current literature of its own. This 18 late development, for previous to the debut of Capabianca in 1911, the experts of Europe considered the United States quite provincial and 'backward chessically. The last few years America has developed number of masters of the Arst rank. Foremost is young I. Kashdan, of New York, who in manner and style reminiscent of Norphy, continues placidly to register victory after viatory against the European grand masters, and if, as may be in the stars he is destined to bring the world's crown to his native land, new era for chess in America will surely arise.

Other masters are Arthur Dake, I. Horowitz, H. Steiner and the prodigies, Sam Reshevsky, the Polish boy wonder, and Reuben Fine, who at 18 already has several prizes to his credit. Along with the rest of the country, Reading is having its boom in chess, with clubs and organisations of all kinds forming chess teams.

Hamilton Russell Cup in England this summer. The Idea is for the eight or ten eligibles to compete, the winners to share a fund to be raised for travelling expenses.

Frank J. Marshall and I. Kashdan will not have to qualify, the three leaders in the tournament taking the remaining places. Harold M. Phillips, president of the Intercollegiate Chess league, will underwrite $200 of the expense fund, which is a very promising start.

The tournament will probably be held in late April. Among the contestants will be Arthur W. Dake, Reuben Fine, I. A. Horowitz, Fred Reinfeld and Robert Willman, and other possibilities are Herman Steiner.

Speaking quietly, but with an Inner emotion that even his composed attitude could not hide, he declared: Gives World Warning I my duty, both because must defend the honor of my people, and because am responsible statesman, to warn the world against permitting the baneful spirit of calumny in vogue during the war to flame up again." To a general question regarding the federal government's attitude toward news published in the foreign press of alleged acts of terror committed against different-minded persons, and especially Jews, Baron Von Neurath, receiving the correspondent in his office in the Wilhelmstrasse, replied in. German: "Even the best organized ministrative apparatus would not suffice to re to the bottom each and every one of these licious tendentious false reports and deny them. "I find no other explanation for the present propaganda unloosed againt the German government than to consider deliberate, sudden rebirth of the vilification campaien conducted during the World War.

"Just as Belgian atrocity stories then mentioned chopped-off children's arms, so there is talk today of allegedly gouged eyes and cut-off ears. "One would really think that the foreign public, which meanwhile realised the untruth of the World War atrocity stories, would not easily again be deceived by new dishing-up of similar fairy tales." "How absurd such propaganda is." the minister continued. "you yourself could experience Tuesday. Says No Aid To German Jews "That very morning you could read of unbelievable atrocities committed on Messrs. Breitscheid and Wels, but in the afternoon you had the opportunity with your own eyes to see these two gentlemen participate in the Reichstag session." "As concerns Jews, I can only say that their propagandists abroad are rendering their co-religionists in Germany no service by giving the German public.

"For instance, a big American sheet wrote several days ago that foreign correspondents must sumbit their ports to a censor. "I ask you whether this occurred connection with single report in yours and you will have to admit this was not the case." VITAL DEMANDS' TO BE SUBMITTED TO GERMANY NEW YORK.

Every seat in Carnegie Hall was taken as Rabbi Wise and Bernard 3. Deutsch, president of the congress, addressed the congregation and hundreds were turned away. Deutsch said the recent statement of the Central Union of German citizens of the Jewish faith, in which terrorism stories were discounted, was "pitiful because, he said, the Nazis extort from oppressed persons denials of mistreatment. Rabbi Wise, in stating desire to show he had "no hostility to Germany," said: Upholds German Rights "I wish again to record my viction that the Versailles peace treaties should have been revised long before this, that the allies in the last years have been guilty of deep wrongs against Germany, the German the people and the German state, and that Germany has the right to demand that either the allied nations shall disarm 88 they promised and covenated that would, or that Germany shall have the right to arm. "Germany has the right and has had the right to demand certain things of the allies which should have been granted long before this and which, had they been granted, we might never have seen such days as these come upon Germany." At the Community church the Rev.

John Haynes Holmes delivered a denunciation of Chancellor Hitler, called the congregation to its feet and had protest resolution adopted. Frederick B. Robinson, president of City College and chairman the American League for Human Rights, sent President Roosevelt resolution which said the league "views with abhorrence the persecutions and discriminations that have taken place in Germany, and it respectfully petitions the United States government to make representations to the German government for the perpose of urging that government to put an effective stop to such abuses and to guarantee the exercise of essential rights to all within its borders. "Furthermore the league respectfully suggests that the President use his discretionary power in affording asylum to political refugees. GERMAN JEWISH LEADER ASKS MEETINGS BE CANCELLED NEW YORK, March 26, (P) Ernest Wallach, vice-president of the Central Association of German Citisens of Jewish Faith, in a telegram to Governor Lehman of New York and others, urged, on behalf of the president of his organization, that a mans meeting scheduled for Monday 'night be cancelled.

Wallach is now in the United States on business. His message was addreased to Alfred E. Smith, Bishop T. Manning, Bishop Francis McConnell, Rabbi Stephen 8. Wise, and others.

STATE SALES TAX MAY BE RENEWED Likely to Pass If Beer License Fees Do Not Go for Relief HARRISBURG, March 26 (P) Suggestions to re-enact the sales tax for relief purposes have been greeted in the legislature with mingled brickbats and approval. Some legislative groups say newal of the tax will depend upon the success af efforts to effect omy or obtain for the state the lion's share of beer revenue.

Others assert the tax haun't the faintest chance of passage in view of -wide opposition to the levy. Legislative leaders agree relief for the unemployed must be provided immediately, and in sufficient amount to prevent the recurrence of special sessions of the general assembly. The general cry in capitol ciroles 18 economy, but there are varied opinions as to how it should be effected. From the governor comes the suggestion that $20,000,000 can be raised by centralising collection of personal property, Inheritance and mercantile taxes in the department of revenue. This has raised hue among county now collecting these taxes on a fee basis.

The Republican state organisation contends that between $13,000,000 and $20,000,000 can be raised by reducing state salaries and consolidating state bureaus. The beer revenue proposais enters in the midst of the controversy over methods to be utilized in obtaining relief funds. The Republican organization and friends of the governor say they are in accord on beer regulating bill. The amount of tax on beer to be retained by the state, presumably, it is said, for relief purposes, has not been decided upon. But, in many quarters of the commonwealth there is disapproval of the plan to permit the state to appropriate the largest proportion beer and wine taxes.

Cities Get Retak Fees The contention of many counties and municipalities is that the regulation in the last analysis is problem and that proper policing local retail establishments must be done by the local political sub-divisions. On the other hand, state officials claim the counties and cities will recelve the bulk of the license fees to be charged against wholesale and retail establishments. Some legislators contend the return of the major portion of the state tax on beverages to the ties and municipalities will relieve the burden of taxation on real estate owners. And here stalks the ghost of the emergency relief sales tax, which 18 opposed by merchants of the state. Should the legislators insist upon returning the large proportion of the beer and wine production revenue to the counties and municipalities, then the sales tax, its proponents insist, will bob up again before the general assembly.

Blindfold Chess Upon the recent visit of Reuben Fine who is rapidly gaining a reputation AS simultaneous blindfold player, having recently played eight games simultaneously in that. manner, we received some interesting information on this always intriguing accomplishment.

While Blackburne, England's great exponent of the art of a generation ago said he visualized each and every position, Fine accomplishes his ends by matter of calculation in which he remembers the to end, with a minimum of visualizemoves of each game from beginning tion. Mr. Fine stated that going from board to board playing 30 or 40 simultaneous games was more tiring than conducting eight boards blindfold when it would not be necessary to move around but remain seated calling out the moves. The world's record for the number of games played simultaneously blindfold is 30 games held by G. Koltanowski, the Belgian master.

Dr. Alehkine, the world's champion and an plished blindfold player, having accom- conducted over 20 games simultaneously in this manner, recently ventured the statement that 35 games would be ion eventually that it is the record. It is his opinthis number, physically impossible to exceed explaining that certain masters could probably carry mentally more than this number but the time it requires to conduct the games calling back and forth the moves would make 35 games the limit of the endurance of the player. Dr. Alehkine is a powerfully built man and his vitality and endurance has his often amazed his contemporaries, so opinion on the endurance of simultaneous blindfold players is probably correct.

END GAME No. SOLUTION White's only method of winning is by giving up the passed pawn, Thus: 1K-Q6, K-B1: 2P-B7, KXP: 3K-Q1, and wins with the opposition. The following end-game is not very difficult but should be known to all chess players. END GAME No, 31 White to play and win White: Rooks at QB6, QR7. Q8.
