VI died quietly in his sleep today at the
Sandringham country home where he
was born.
His 26-year-old daughter, now Queen
Elizabeth, is due to arrive here by air
from East Africa tomorrow morning to
claim her throne.
The 56-year-old King of the British Commonwealth
was round dead in his bed by his valet at about 12J0
this morning. '
The tidings were kept within the Royal Family and
the highest Government circles till Elizabeth, in gay holi-
day mood at the beginning of her Empire tour with Princa
Philip, could be told privately of her father's death.
Then the news was flashed
round the world that the mon-
arch who had reigned through
15 stormy years was dead, and
that the greatest of all remain-
ing thrones now has its first
queen since Victoria.
The princess became queen in
constitutional theory upon the
moment of her father's death.

No Official
Word On Funeral
LONDON, Feb. 8 (UP)
There was no official word to-
day as to funeral plans for the
late King George VI.
Court circles said, however,
it was likely that a funeral
service would be held in Vest-
minster Abbey, where a long
line of monarchs lie buried.
But King George will prob-
ably be burled alongside his
father, King George V, in the
family chapel at Windsor
Castle.

At a recent news conference
President Truman dropped a re-
mark about wishing we could
have a direct national primary
for the selection of presidential
nominees.
No one can be sure the Presi-
dent meant what he said, since
he gets pretty flippant in these
bouts with the press over his
1952 intentions. But it- might
well be argued that there Is
some sound sense in this pro-
position.
In only IS states of the 48
Is there now a "presidential"
primary, and In several of
those 16 the popular expres-
sion of sentiment Is purely
advisory instead of binding on
the delegates to the national
convention. The other 32
states select delegates in state
conventions, where the peo-
ple's voice is heard only in-
directly.

are accustomed to high incomes. Not a few of them are cokeys,

Anyone who understands the
workings of politics knows that
state party conventions are
largely under the control of the
party machinery.
The slate of delegates which
emerges from such conclaves Is
in almost every instance the
product of party organization
decisions.
The successful rebellions
against organization control are
relatively rare.
Actually, the conventioi:
method of choosing delegates,
.epresentatlves and even no-
minees is a carry-over from
earlier American history.
It reflects the compromise
made by the Founding Fathers
between those who wanted true
democracy and those who fear-
ed too direct expression of the
popular will.

Feb. 17. Judy not only came in at a bargain percentage (only bet-

yond even her great talent; it was a come-back, she had been a
naughty girl, and she had never" played her dream-theatre or any
other on Broadway. Everyone was pulling for her.
The logical solution would seem to be another film star. But
there are few who are without commitments that would inter-
fere with a run or even a limited engagement. Most of those who
can do anything on a stage have played the big picture-houses
across the street. And they took down fantastic pay, more than
the Palace could gross.
Sophie Tucker declined, pleading that she has a routine aimed
at the cafe trade and it would take her weeks to perfect one for
a return to her old love, vaudeville. (It would require even longer
to dry-clean the material she's using now, maybe.) Most other
cabaret performers lack drawing-power. Jimmy Durante, Joe E.

Gradually this fear lessen-
ned, and machnnery was estab-
lished to give the people closer
control over selection of their
representatives. Only a few
decades ago senators were still
being chosen for nomination
by state convention; now they
are picked in direct primaries.
The primary method finally
began to be adopted in the pre-
sidential race as well, though
its application there is still
sharply limited.
But Insofar as it does help to
measure genuine popular senti-
ment as to candidates, it must
be counted a gain.
The present primary system
is handicapped not only by
limited application but by cer-
tain attitudes that have grown
up around It.
As Is evident lr the current
campaign, there seems to be a
notion, for example, that the
"favorite son" principle should
operate In states where a lead-
ing political figure is a can-
didate.
In other words, it Is contend-
ed that the home state candi-
date should be conceded his
own territory without a fight.
Senator Taft has indicated
he will not go Into California

94SS.00O recently made by Congressman Hebert in the Navy's
purchase of water-distilling machines. The incident also il-
lustrates how one lone taxpayer can help save money.
The lone taxpayer Is John E. Pottharst. of the Meco Co., New
Orleans, who, when he bid low on a Navy contract, yet didn't get
the contract, notified watchdog Congressman Hebert.
The Cleaver-Brooks Co. of Milwaukee bid 9900,000 higher on
the distilling machines than Pottharst in New Orleans.
But despite that, the Navy, apparently unconcerned about
saving money, instructed the Army engineers to award the 79
percent of the contract to the high bidder.
The other 25 percent went to Re finite of Omaha which was
about 9100 lower than Meco of New Orleans.
However, when Pottharrst of Meco protested to Congressman
Hebert, the Navy finally began to have some slight consideration
for the taxpayers' money.
As a result, Cleaver-Brooks reduced Its bid by about $955,000.
This was a slice of about $2,000 on each water-distilling unit.
So while bidder Pottharst dldnt get the contract, he cud help

WASHINGTON PIPELINE
A bill to force tax settlements into the open has been intro-
duced by California's alert Sen. Richard Nixon.
It is now against the law for the Internal Revenue Bureau
to report the final settlement of tax cases, though the cases
themselves are made public.
In other words, whereas the public has no way of double-
checking on the tax fixers, as of today, under the proposed Nixon
bill the Treasury would be forced to reoort all future tax settle-
ments to Congress, plus all the tax settlements dating bask five
years

So South put the king of dia-

Now South was sure of a dia-
mond, two hearts, and either
three ot four clubs. He needed
four clubs to make his contract.
How should he play the suit?
Since he was doing his plan-
ning early. H was easy for him
.to Terr)ember what hadhappen-
;ed On the previous trick. East
'had led the three of diamonds.
Evidently, East had only four
'diamonds.
This meant that West also had
four diamonds. Since West was
, known to have five aades, it was
clear that West could have only
four cards in hearts and clubs
together.
South decided that West was
short in clubs. He therefore led
a club to dummy's ace and re-
t' rned a club to finesse the ten.
When this finese succeeded the
contract was safe.

The first shipment, consisting

The trailers were hauled by mo-

Bored Bobbysoxers Set Off
Chain Reaction Of Trouble
NEW YORK,Feb. fUP) The
chain reaction of tragedies set
off by three bored Massachu-
etts school girls who went on a
New York spending spree with
stolen money brought new woes,
last night, this time to the cltv's!
biggest nightclub.
The Latin Quarter opened for
business as usual, but no liquor j
could be served.
;The city has banned liquor
ales at the club for a week as
the penalty for selling alcoholic j
beverages to two of the three
teen-aged girls.
This was the latest in the wave i
of troubles caused bv the girls
lnce they stole $18,000 from a
strong box in the Nahant. Mass.,
home of heart specialist Dr. Al-;
bert Covner last Oct. 18.

Then they came to New York
on a apree.
The girls bought expensive I

Named as co-consplrators. but

top Reds convicted in New York
last year after a lengthy trial.
Hours before the case got un-

persons gathered outside the
courtroom and demanded ad-

space for about 125 persons and
only a handful of

The average person eats 18
pounds of candy annually and
rets a lot more sugar from
sweetened drinks, desserts and
other, foods.
Extensive research has prov-
ed that sugar is the greatest
cause of tooth decay and that
excessive use of swgar in tbe
diet definitely is harmful.

These foods will supply the es-

experts add that otb.tr foods
such as breads, cereals, potatoes
and desserts may be added to
meet the demands of the appe-

THE PANAMA AMERICAN AN INDEPENDENT DADLT NEWSPAPER
PAGE
Stempel Keglers Cop ABC Team Championship
Too bad no one's ever done a story of the frantic Florida boom
days of the early 20's. That most have been the most fantastic
chapter in the history of American realty. I remember it most
for the lavish way sports were used to stimulate pdomotion and
sales.
One operator built a near replica of the famed 500-mile auto
race course Just outside Miami, first class in every respect, brought
in all Ule name drivers, put up substantial prize money, used it
once, then abandoned it. That was the topper.
Close to it, though, was the golf match between Walter Hagen
and Bobby Jones for what was billed as the match play cham-
pionship of the world. This was a Joint come-on at which lots
were sold both at 8t. Petersburg and Sarasota.
Jones' old man had his dough sunk in the Sarasota develop-
ment and Hagen was the pro at a course which had been built
especially to add to the glamor of the St. Petersburg operation. At
the time the boom had lost much of its early vitality and investors
were scarce. Hence the Jones-Hagen match as a booster shot.
As history records Jones, still at his peak, took the most fright-
ful licking of his entire career, losing 13 and 11, which is equi-
valent to losing a ball game 18 to 2 or by some Implausible score.
He was 8 down at the end of the first 36. Almost from the start
it was no contest.
THE FAMOUS JONES MATCH
' There were, however, extenuating circumstances in his case
Jones shared his dad's worries. It's pretty difficult to concentrate
on hitting a, golf ball with the family facing bankruptcy. Jones
washt the type to go for ballyhoo golf. Only a desperate situation
such as this could have won his assent. I heard later he had
wanted to turn pro to help carry the load. That would have been
in keeping with the young Georgian's character.
I remember Hagen played the match with a new set of golf
clubs.
"Henry Topping gave 'em to me and hell be offended if I
Golfers are like ball players; they put great store by their
favorite weapons. So this was no small sacrifice on Hagen's part.
He still had an ancient straight-faced iron club in his bag he
had used as far back as 1914. Henry Topping was the father of
Dan, the Yankee baseball magnate, a fine golfer himself and just
the kind of gent who would get a bang out of Hagen's company.
Last time I was with Hagen in Detroit the Jones match came
up for discussion. He was distressed that so much importance
is attached to it by contemporary historians of the game.
"It wasnt a real test of golf. You were there. You know
Bobby wasn't mentally attuned to serious golf. He was Just going
through the motions/'
I agree with Hagen it wasn't a fair test of the players' relative
abilities at man-to-man golf but Jones was giving the challenge
the best he had under the conditions. Jones had too much respect
for his standing and the game Itself Just to go through the
motions.
GAME'S GREATEST COMPETITOR
Still even If Jones had been at his best for the Florida match
I believe Hagen would have beaten him. Not by any 12 and 11
result but decisively enough. Hagen may not have been the great-
est golfer of all time; he certainly wasn't the greatest shotmaker,
but at match play, where the mechanics of the shot are not the
all-decisive factor, he knew no superior on either side of the
Atlantic.
That*s because he was not only a remarkable competitor but
he had a disarming personality and, in his way, was a master
of psychology. There never was a golfer who could do more with
a pause, a remark, a gesture or get more out of a strategic situa-
tion than the Rochester German, and all within the framework
of etrrtcs and sportsmanship. .evun Hagen was delighted when the National Open came to Detroit
last summer and learned the course had been stiffened to put
a more demanding pnmlum on accuracy. That was like it used
to be in his day when a bad shot meant a penalty If the player's
skill was inadequate.
He regards Ben Hogan as the best of the moderns, the best
since the old guard was in command, and he was surprised when
the Texas bantam had a slovenly 78 for his first round and a
struggling 73 for his second. There had been earlier protests by
the stars that the revisions made the course unfair. Hogan had
protested so vehemently concessions were made.
"Trouble with Hogan" Hagen commented as we stood before
the score board after the second round "Is that be is letting this
course play him Instead of playing the course."
Hogan must have been listening. Next day Hogan, though
trailing by five shots, was In a cheerful frame of mind, obviously
relaxed and ready to play the course, prepared to execute the
shot the situation called for and forget the hazards he and others
deemed too punishing. Result: a 71 and a 87 and a winner by two
strokes.

All agree that Ted Rhodes, a

originally out of Nashville, where
he was a caddie, is the best Ne-
gro golfer in the world. His fath-

Although Rhodes finished far
In the ruck in the Phoenix party,
his initial PGA test, the colored

There is a lazy rhythm to hisj

Rhodes, who stands five feetj

Blood Clot May
Have Killed King,
Doctors Observe
LONDON. Feb. 6 (CV>
Widespread but unofficial me-
dical opinion here today was
that King George VI might
have died of coronary throm-
bosis a blood clot having
formed after his recent lung
operation.
Another less likely medical
theory was that the King suf-
fered a stroke.
It is most unlikely that the
exact cause of death will ever
be officially revealed.

2 Teenagers Draw
Penitentiary Terms
In US Disl. Court
Two teen-agers drew peniten-
tiary terms yesterday In the
U. s. District Court at Ancon.
One of them, 16-year-old Elias
Brown, a Panamanian, was found
guilty on a mail-theft charge and
sentenced to serve one year in
the penitentiary.
The young defendant had been
arrested for taking mail matter
. .vltu ..,- from locked boxes at the Ancon
dows In Keen s house and of the j Pose Office, after having pried
t door, scattering glass | open the doors, and was specif 1-
ior 75 yards. Keen was blown "to
bits" through the roof.
Keen's current interests were
said to be connected with the
Multnomah Kennel Club in Port-
land, Ore., and the Mile High
Club in Denver, Colo.
Police said one report indicat-
ed he was a "major stockholder''
In both dog tracks.
At Denver. Mile High Kennel
Club president George McCarthy
said Keen had no connection
with the Denver track other
than that he had installed one
of his tote boards at the track.
Police said there were indi-
cations that Keen had been
facing increasing opposition in
his business enterprises in
Denver, Phoenix, Ariz., and Mi-
ami, Fla., but that nothing yet
pointed to a definite reason for
his apparent murder.
William P. Kyne, general man-
ager of Bay Meadows horse race
tracks and a friend of Keen, de-
scribed the sportsman as a "high
type fellow...he was definitely
not a gangster."
Kyne said that he and Keen
only recently had reached satis-
factory agreement on dates for
the 1952 season on horse and dog
tracks they run in opposition to
etch other at Portland. Ore.

Seething national indignation over the Canal Zone
Government's alleged attempt to "annihilate" Panama's
"precarious economy/ boiled over last night in the Na-
tional Assembly when 33 Deputies signed a resolution
denouncing a lack of "friendship and cooperation" on
the part of Canal Zone authorities.
The resolution accused Canal Zone authorities of
helping to create "greater anguish in our country" and
"stabilizing a .. propitious situation for the growth of
international Communism."
Last night's discussion was
brought about by recent charges
by the Chambers of Commrece
of Panama and Colon and by
private Individuals, that the Pa-
nama Canal Co. Is offering un-
fair competition to the Republic
of Panama by permitting the
formation of new commercial
enterprises In the Canal Zone.
The most recent of these
charges was that the Panama
Canal Co. has given permission
for the establishment- of a new
bus line m the Canal Zone In
violation of the 1936 treaty be-
tween Panama and the United
States.
The Spanish-language news-
paper "Estrella de Panama" pub-
lished two editorials analyzing
the problem and pointing out the
serious repercussions that conti-
nued "treaty violations" by the
Canal Zone could cause in Pan-
ama's economic structure.
Yesterday "El Panam Am-
rica," the PA's Spanish-lan-
guage sister, also editorialized on
the problem of commercial com-
petition In the Canal Zone.
The editorial said that accord-
ing to the 1936 treaty the united
States government had agreed
not to permit any more private
commercial firms in the Canal
Zone than those that existed at

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UP)
The government has decided to
try ex-government girl Judith
Copln for a third time on charg-
es of spying for Russia, it was
disclosed today.
The Justice Department has'
given up any idea of retrying the
petite brunette on her New York
spy conviction, but will move
soon for a new trial here.
The one-time Justice Depart-
ment employe was convicted here
June 30, 1949, on charges of
stealing Department secrets with
intent to injure this country and
help Russia, and of unlawfully
removing confidential papers
from government files. She was
sentenced to 40 months to 10
years in prison.
She was convicted In New York
on March 7. 1950, with Russian
engineer Valentin A. Gubitchev,
of espionage for the Soviet Un-
ion. Both were sentenced to 15
years, but Giusitchev was per-
mitted to return to Russia. Miss
Copln has remained free in
bond pending final disposition of
her case.
Now married and expecting a
baby in about a month. Miss
Copln had appealed both con
victions. The case reached the
Supreme Court which, by refus-
ing last week to overturn appeals
court decisions, virtually assured
her a new trial.
The Justice Department is not
expected to produce any new evl-1
dence in the second trial here. It
will present the same case it pro-
secuted successfully before a Jury
here In 1949, taking pains how-
ever not to tap the defendant's
phone conversations with her
lawyer.

The Appeals Court here, In rul-
ing on Miss Coploh's appeal, up-
held her conviction but ordered
a hearing on her phone-tapplnir
complaint. It said If the corn-
paint was true, she had been de-
nied her Constitutional right to
counsel and should get a new
trial.
The Justice Department haa
admitted listening in on her
phone talks with her lawyer at
the time, explosive Archibald
Palmer. Therefore it Is not ex-
pected to block her forthcoming
request for a new trial but rath-
er to go ahead and prosecute.
,.Th* Department may argue
that it learned nothing of use
from her phone talks. But the
Appeals Court has held that
the mere fact she was over-
heard would mean a denial of
her right to counsel. Defense
attorneys may try to make use
of the wire-tapping issue in
the new trial.
Miss Copln is expected to file
a motion soon for a hearing be-
fore the Federal District Court
here on the wire-tapping issue.
When the legal formality of es-
tablishing the facts Is dispensed
with, the court Is expected to or-
der a new trial.
The Justice Department could
have let her go free by declining
to prosecute again and dropping
the case. But now it must go
through the procedure of again
presenting the full evidence to a
Jury and seeking another convic-
tion.
There was no Indication who
will be Miss Coplon's lawyer In
her new trial here. She parted
company with Palmer after the
first trial and is now married to
one of her New York lawyers, Al-
bert H. Sokolov.
She was arrested by the FBI
in New York on March 4, 1949, as
she was walking with Gubitchev
In her purse were found FBI data
slips and personal notes on Jus-
tice Department affairs. <
Her New "York conviction was
upset on grounds that the FBI
agents had no warrant and the
government had failed to prove
she was about to escape. Such
firoof then was required by law
or arrests without a warrant. It
i since has been tightened. '
