T THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1935 Awaiting Her Last Voyage - Junk Yard Bound Senator Harrison Plays Bigger Role In Capitol Circles WASHINGTON, July 19. -(UP) - The gadfly role Senator Pat Harrison enjoyed so long is his no more. As the play goes on, he fils a more im- portant role in the Roosevelt cast. The tall, slightly stooped Mississip- pian, who roamed the senate floor in the long lean years of the Democratic party as a free lance critic and poker of sardonic fun at Republicans, sits now in the inner circle of administra- tion senators. Generally, he is classified as third member of a southern "big three" - Robinson of Arkansas, Byrns of South Carolina, Harrison of Missis- sippi - believed to have the ready car of the White House. Chairman of the powerful finance committee - which helps decide where the money is coming from - he now also is a majority wheel- horse generally. Harrison is thin faced, long of nose and his hair is thinning. He is 53. First coming to Washington in 1910 as a house member, he has been here ever since. No senator knows more of the traditions of that body. Harrison is a favorite of the Dem- ocratic national committee, having performed high service for it. Perhaps no deathless Harrison mot will remain after him. His quips come so rapidly and spontaneously few remember the words, although they recall the effect. His chief outdoor hobby is golf, but he remains a devotee of the retort elegant. Mackinac Span Is Rejected By P W A Officials WASHINGTON, July 19. - (')- The plan to bridge the Straits of Mackinac has been frowned upon by the public works administration. Nevertheless, its proponents in Washington rose today to a new at- tack. Charles E. Fowler, bridge designer, who has been at work in Washington for several months on his proposal to link the upper and lower, Michigan peninsulas, was notified today the bridge again had been turned down as a PWA project. Col. Horatio B. Hackett, assistant public works administrator, told Fowler the traffic possibilities did not warrant expenditure of approxi- mately $35,000,000, the estimated cost of such a span. Fowler contends that it would be impracticable to build a bridge direct- ly across the straits because of the water depth and because of ice condi- tions. He believes the best. plan is to span the water by a circuitous route covering the various islands. Fowler contended the argument that traffic would not justify the ex- penditure was without foundation and said that if the bridge were built a $500,000,000 tourist business could be expected from 22 states. Fowler said the administration was Talks At Lobby Quiz Smallest And Youngest Champ Wins With Her Toughest Dive NEW YORK, July 19.- (/P)-The She was the second champion to men in the press box, probably most repeat last year's victory, as Olive of the 5,000 gathered under the blaz- McKean, six-foot power sprinter from ing sun around the big pool, too, held Seattle, opened the title events with their breaths and muttered: an easy conquest in the 100-meter "Now if she just won't try anything free style event. tough . . .

Wrath of The Irish Inflicted On Ritchie For*His Criticisms BALTIMORE, July 19. -(P) -The wrath of the Irish swirled around the' head of former Gov. Albert C. Ritchie today after his most recent assault on the New Deal. The banquet meeting of the An- cient Order of Hibernians, in con- vention here, became an uproar last night as Ritchie asserted in an ad- dress the New Deal "has not worked." The talk was regarded as his notice Ritchie would be amenable to the leadership of conservative Democrats. Rep. Martin L. Sweeney (Dem.), Ohio, former national president of the Hibernians; George Riley, Cali- fornia state president, and George W. Harkins, also of California, lined up against Ritchie. Sweeney said he resented "the ex- governor of Maryland's cheap politi- cal tactics in waging an attack on the administration and taking ad- vantage of the occasion when several hundred men and women of Irish birth and descent were assembled to listen to what they expected to be an historical and scholarly address." One of the minor signs of economic recovery is the increase of imports of porcelain and pottery by the United States. "going in for a lot of chicken feed" in public works allotments, and that the bridge was a more worthy project. Representatives Carl E. Mapes and George A. Dondero, both Republicans, opposed the project at the hearing before the board of engineering and review about a month ago, and blocked the passage of a bill author- izing the Straits of Mackinac Bridge authority created by the Michigan state legislature. Over and over she whirled while the big crowd gasped. Then she straight- ened out, knifed into the water with scarcely a ripple. The crowd burst out in a spontaneous roar of delight, And the three-meter springboard diving championship wvent to Mary Hoerger, of Miami Beach, Fla., young- est and certainly the smallest ath- lete ever to hold a national cham- pionship at anything but marble shooting. Mary sent the four-day women's national swimming championships off with a spectacular push yesterday, and Lenore Knight of Homestead, Pa., greatest of the nation's distance swimmers, kept the sensations rolling under the blazing sky above Manhat- tan beach's 50-meter pool. The husky 23-year-old Pennsyl- vania girl opened her triple title de- fense by swimming a mile in 24 min- utes, 20.4 seconds, faster, than any woman ever swam it before. Miss Knight held the previous record of 24:34.1, set last year when she won the mile, 880 and 440-yard national free style championships. Favor Is Seen For Ineome Tax Revisal WASHINGTON, July 19. - (R) -- Strong favor is developing in the house ways and means committee for new income tax rates which would leave the smaller income taxpayer as he is but take away nearly three- quarters of a $10,000,000 income. The present tax on $10,000,000 is about 63 per cent. Those questioned about the matter were careful to emphasize that no de- cision had been reached by the com- mittee, which is studying 29 different schedules. They said, however, that the one which has aroused special interest among them is a "middle of the road" idea and therefore worthy of particular study. Committee Democrats have singled out this schedule for analysis by their own expert, Lovell H. Parker, chief of staff of the joint congressional com- mittee on internal revenue. He pre- pared statistics comparing the pro- posed new schedule with existing taxes as well as those levied in 1918, 1919, 1924 and 1926. 11 months.

U L R I C H'S BOOK- STORE, CORNER EAST AND SOUTH UNIVERSITY. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19. - (P) - Escorted out of the big leagues by Father Time, Frank "Lefty" O'Doul, .the man who made the green suit a landmark in baseball, is carving out a new career for himself as a minor league manager. From the uniform of a New York Giants player last year, O'Doul slipped into a managerial toga this spring and in half a season has won recognition as a pilot of the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast league. He's established himself as a man- ager who sees and seizes his chances, an aggressive leader who works his players up to a furious fighting pitch and demands results. His credo is "make the most runs and you'll win the game." Off the field he pals with the men who call him boss. The rangy southpaw who twice led the National league in batting has seen his direct methods materialize into "action" with a capital "A." During mid-season his team won three games in one series by scores of 24-6, 17-7, and 17-3! The Seals may not be up on top when the sea- son ends but their base hit bom- bardments will remain long in the memory of the fans. A Bench-Sitting Iaoss O'Doul does his "master-minding" from the bench. "It's a tough job to manage a club from the outfield," he says. "Ty Cobb tried it with De- troit and Tris Speaker brought Cleveland to a pennant, but generally speaking a manager trying to run things from the outfield is under a bad handicap." In his first season as a manager, the one-time star who favors green civvies the year around has had a hand in the development of two youngsters he thinks will duplicate his own more than 10 years' service in the majors. Like their manager, they're out- fielders. One, Joe Di Maggio, already is recognized as one of the finest prospects ever turned up in the Coast League.

Di Maggio was sold last year with the proviso that he remain here an- other season for experience. In 1933, Di Maggio hit safely in 61 consecu- tive games to set a new league rec- ord. A knee injury dimmed his play last season but this year he has been spectacular. 'Rivals Hornsby, Heilmann' "Joe can't miss," says O'Doul. "He rivals Harry Heilmann and Rog- ers Hornsby as a right handed bat- ter. He's a natural player, does everything right and never lets down. When the stage fright wears off and he acquires the polish that comes with big league play, Di Maggio will be a riot in the American league." The two Joes aren't taking back seats in the matter of hitting. When the season went over the half-way mark, Di Maggio was clouting at the average of .382 and Joe Marty had a respectable .306. 4 - I ' Ae40"efMMWAr _ DOWNTOWN - Next to Wuerth Theatre The Foremost Clothiers in Washtenaw County I Shanghaied by a Silly Salt ? ... /ry' /zta Old JCol l 4j y L/ :L .L V CIGARETTES BI i
