...from taking the defensive, John Lewis was last week busy extending his long, long lines. Already launched under the friendly eye of his brother, Alma Denny Lewis, was a drive to organize 800,000 Federal Government employes, a move which brought an official frown from the Chief Executive of the biggest employer in the U. S. (see p. 9). He chartered a new organization called the State, County and Municipal Workers of America, hoped for 2,000,000 members, declared that strikes and picketing would not be included in the organization's policy. And last week John Lewis...
...Dudley of Philadelphia passed them with a 70, followed by Denny Shute, twice U. S. professional champion, with a 73. In the second round, with only a light easterly breeze, the competition grew keener. For Great Britain, Reginald Whitcombe scored a 70 for a total of 142, his older brother Charles Whitcombe posted 144, and Henry Cotton got 146. Still Ed Dudley's 144, Denny Shute's 146 and Walter Hagen's 148 promised that some keen British play would be necessary to guard the Open title in the last 36 holes...

...signature. Excerpt: "The name 'Professional Golfer' must be and remain a synonym and pledge of honor, service and fair dealing. His professional integrity, fidelity to the game of golf, and a sense of his great responsibility to employers and employes, manufacturers and clients and to his brother professionals, transcend thought of material gain in the motives of the true Professional Golfer. It is fundamental that the Professional Golfer must understand the basic principles upon which his profession is established; otherwise he cannot . . . work for the good of Golf." Last week this solemn creed was imputed a hollow mockery...
...more useful family connection, however, is Dr. Kung's wife, eldest of the three famed Soong girls who with their brother have long been the real power behind the Nanking Government. By marrying Ailing ("Pleasant") Soong, smart Dr. Kung became brother-in-law at one crack of China's late, sainted Dr. Sun Yatsen, President Chiang Kai-shek and Finance Minster T. V. Soong. It was logical in 1933 when T. V. Soong quarreled with Chiang that Dr. Kung should succeed to his job. Regarded then as second-rate compared to brilliant "T. V.", Dr. Kung has since...
