It was believed here that because of the lengthy reports which Mr, Phillips was said to have transmitted to Washington that any ane nouncement regarding the American moves will be made there. Mr. Phillips, it was learned, is going to Florence late today where he is expected to meet with Myron C. Taylor, President Roosevelt's per sonal representative at the Vatican.

such training and that adding officers “would create a hump” in the promotion list.

The committee’s answer was that “it is regrettable that every officer cannot live to be a general . . . but that training that may save our sons’ lives on the field of battle is more important than bars and epaulets.” Introduction of the resolution on the Philippines followed an “off the record” address of more than an hour on the Far Eastern situation by Frank Parker, national executive committeeman from the Philip pines and advisory member of the defense committee.

The resolution cited that because of world conditions, “the main« tenance of our influence in the Pa« ¢ific Ocean is of fundamental ime from the standpoint of our national defense, but also the development of our international commerce with the Far East and our freedom of movement in this vast area”

Urges Careful Study

The measure urged “. . . a careful examination of this entire problem including the proper protection of the Isle of Guam and the continued sovereignty of the United States over the Philippine Archipelago.” The WPA vocational training schools were suggested by the vet erans’ unemployment committee to train persons for skilled positions in private industry, the trainees to be

He was 60. He was head of the diocese and rector of a suburban Evanston, Ill. church, one of the wealthiest and most fashionable in the Chicago area, He had been bishop since 1930.

elements of a swell human interest story are all tied up in it. Aging owner, Kentucky-bred horse, life at stake, practically. Even the bookies seem to be convinced and when you can convince a bookie you are good enough to run for a Republican office in Mississippi with high hopes. And then comes along this strange Mr. Woolf who says everybody's wrong. Bimmy can't win. Do you wonder that the people around here look at him, snicker and tap their heads knowingly? But Mr. Woolf is no johnny-come-lately around a race track. He knows where the eighth pole is, as the boys say. He has won the Derby himself. Remember a thing named Lawrin? Well, that was Mr. Woolf's colt. And everybody laughed when

and said, ‘Do you mind, mister, if I bet $10,000 straight at your winter book odds on my horsey?” The bookmaker didnt. He liked to meet fellows like Mr, Woolf . , . before, not after,

This was two Derbys ago. We remember Mr. Woolf and his crowd. The stand-out that year was Fighting Fox. He couldn't lose, either. Like everybody else in Louisville that night we were amused at Mr, Woolf and his crowd. We were not so amused when the race was over, Remembering the circumstances, we had to pay some attention to him today when he said, “This is no one horse race by any means. I like two horses to beat Bimelech, and I'm not sure which one it will be. But I'm sure of this: It will be either Dit or Pictor.”

GETS 2-YEAR TERM FOR GUN-GARRYING

A 20-year-old boy went to Indiana Reformatory today for two years, convicted of carrying a pistol without a license. He is Joseph Skaggs, 2724 Wood St., who pleaded non guilty to the charge, but was convicted by Special Criminal Court Judge Clyde Carter. Police testified they attempted to “shake down” the youth on a down= town street March 17. The youth ran and was later seen at Boyd and Marryland Sts, where officers shouted “Stick them up.” The youth raised one hand, and the officers found the other caught in his pocket around a loaded .32 automatic. The youth explained he was care rying the gun as a protection for his brother, who had been in a fight in a tavern.
