A special meeting of city cuunci]!
loomed today to authorize addi—l
tions to the Athens police force 'd.H;

ders to patrolmen to take no|
chances with burglars ang hinh—;

Four burglaries were reported'
last night, in the Cobb street sec
tion. Last week's burglaries were
in the Milledge avenue-Cloverhurst
territory.
Additions Asked
It was understood that .more‘
than one member of city council
favors additions to the police
force to furnish a more adequate
police protection to the residential
sections. The force now comprises
eighteen men, including the chief,
two captains. two plainclothesmen.
PDue to the real estate de-l
velopments in recent years, exten
sion of the residential sections, it!
is held that a larger police force
will be necessary. to protect citi
zens from highwaymen and burg
lars such as have put fear into
citizens in the last two weeks. I
Chief Wood said today when the;
telephone calls began coming in
last night from citizens whose
homes had been robbed, only two
men were available for call duty,
He said it is probable that with a
larger police force the burglars
who last night broke into several |
homes would have been captured.

| THE COUNTRY CLUB, CLEVE
iIA:\NLi.-f/P)-~—f\ld9d by an eagle
{three on the 512 yard 16th, Cham
| pion W. Lawson Little, jr., cracked
| par with a 71 today and gained a
itwo hole lead over his Omaha,
{rival and roomate, Johnny Good
{man, in the first half of the 36 hole
i semi-finals of the U. S. Amateur
golf tournament.
Meanwhile the Oklahoma sharp
shooter, and tourpament’'s par
cracking sensation, tall Walter
Emery, hit some remarkable shots
to become four up on Joseph Lyn
ch, portly Bostonian and this year’s
Georgetown University golf cap
tain, in the othér semi-final duel.
Emery, negotiating the first
round in 73, to his rival’s 76, play
ed a miraculous shot from a trap,
around some trees for a birdie on
the third hole and hit the flag with
his tee shot on the 184 yard 14th.
His deuce on that hole was his
gecond of the day and tenth of the
tournament. N
| Lynch’s wretched putting cost
| him repeated chances to make the
match ecloser. -He three-putted
twice and missed four short putts
lotherwise.
Little, despite his sub-par score,
|was erratic on many holes but sav
led himself with several startling

U.S. Throws Full
Moral Support
Into Peace Effort
WASHINGTON—(#)—The United
States threw its full moral sup
port into the scales against war
today in a stirring, last-minute ap
peal by Secretary Hull for a peace
ful settlement of the threatened
Italo-Ethiopian conflict.
Proclaiming the peaceful ijdeals
of the American people and citing
this government’s contributions to
ward the world’ collective efforts
to avert hostilities®» Hull called on
all signatories of the Kellogg peace
pact to observe their golemn obli
gations and maintain world peace.
Although the strong plea—made
in the form of a public statement
last might—wasg not a formal in
voeation of the peace pact, it was
interpreted by international obser
vers here as lacking only the me
chanical details and -the added
weight of other signatories to
make it so. World reaction was
eagerly awaited today.
Made Pledge
Emphasizing that Italy and Eth
jopia—along with 61 other nations
—have pledged themselves to set
tle their dispute by pacific means
Hull declared that since wat
would have serious and adverse ef
fects on every other nation they
had a right to demadn that nations
threatening world peace live up to
their obligations.
“All nations,” he said, “have the
right to ask that any and all is
yues, between whatsoever nations,
be resolved by pacific means.
“Every nation has a right to ask
that no nations subject it and
other nations to the hazards and
uncertainties that must inevitably
accrue to all from resort to arms
by any two.” .
