Rosenwato Sends Reshevsky
To High S6hool and now
He's in College
DETROIT '(AP) A million
aire felt sorry for a little Jewish
boy who could baffle the world's
best chess players but knew none
ol the normal Joys, of childhood.
So he sent him to school where
he learned to study, and to sports
teachers where he learned to
play.
Julius Rosenwald of Chicago
was the philanthropist; Sammy
Reshevsky, the child chess prc
.dlgy. Sammy, now IS, Is studying
accounting at the University of
Detroit. In two years he will be
gradvated.
' When set en. years old, Sammy
amazed chess players of EuFope
by defeating, or drawing with
such wizards as Rubensteln, the
Polish champion; Zamiseh, Ger
man title holder and other fore
most players of the continent.
Brought to U. 8.
To Meet Champion
In 1920 the eight-year old boy
was brought to the United States
for contests with such masters as
Edward Lasker, J. Kupchick, S.
Factor and L. Stolsenberg.
In an exhibition at Chicago In
1924, Sammy attracted the atten
tion of. Rosenwald. Sammy was a
tiny chess machine, hut of edu
cation and normal childhood di
versions he had had none.
The philanthropist was moved.
Sammy was losing the heritage of
boyhood. Soon the bey dropped
from sight, and his education and
training, financed by Rosenwald,
began.
Sis months of intensive train
ing with autor qualified the 12-year-old
child tor high school. He
learned to play tennis, to swim,
to play baseball.
.His frail body filled out; his
pinched, serious little face took
on the glow of life's playtime.
Chess Is Aided
By New Interests
After awhile he fotind abstin
ence was giving him a zest for
the game he once played by rote.
He welcomed a chance to in alee
another exhibition this year. It
was in Chicago, and again he de
feated all comers, often In groups
of 14. His game was better than !
ever.
Of 1,420 games with some of
the country's chess masters, he
lost not a one.
Sammy was satisfied his chess
game was good. Now It Is in the
background until he .finishes col
lege. Then, he gives fair, warn
ing, Frank Marshall, American
champion and Dr. Alexander Al
ekhine, world champion, had best
look to their laurels.

Addressing Insurance commis
sioners from all parts of the
United States and Canada here,
R. Leighton Foster, superin
tendent of insurance' for the
Province of Ontario, Canada,
strongly indorsed the A.A.A.
Safety Responsibility law as a
means of controlling the reckless
driver. He declared that it is
the "best plan yet offered."
At the same time the Canadian
Commissioner scored the Massa
chusetts Compulsory p'.an and
termed it "undesirable, unwork
able and inimical to the public
interest."
Mr. Fosters addrega- was one
of the high lights of t Us. National,
Convention of Insurance Com
missioners, and he urged bis coT
lagues not to be misled by the
circumstance that the enactment
of these laws is now being spon
sored by organized motordoisr
and that administration is vested
in motor vehicle commissioners.
Mr. Foster declared that up
until, five years ago safety, was
the objective of all motor vehicle
legislation, but that it gradually
dawned upon the public mind
that acidents could not be en
tirely prevented and that thous
ands could own motor vehicles
who were financially irresponsi
ble.
Protect Accident Victims
"Thus developed -a demand,"
he continued, "which I conceive
to be general throughout the
United States and Canada today,
that the Innocent victims of these
accidents be protected, that laws
be formulated looking to the 'Re
sponsibility' in damages of all
motorists as supplementary to
the broader subject of 'safety
on the highways."
The Commissioner picturing
the chaos that followed in the
wake of compulsory Insurance
for all motorists, as adopted in
Massachusetts, with every acci
dent a potential insurance claim,
and also cited the growing oppo
sition to this plan. He contin
ued: "Leadership in such a matter

minority of the public, known as
the pedestrians, is not; and can

was forthcoming. Fori upwards
of a quarter of a century the
American Automobile association

day its membership, i Including
membership in its affiliated mo

Citing the principles of the

legislation already in force In

said:
Would Suspend Licenses
"It "embodied provisions for
the mandatory suspension of
such licenses of all persons found
guilty of serious violations of the
motor vehicle laws and definite

road until,, in addition to what
ever penalties the law provided
for these offenders, they have
submitted satisfactory proof of
their financial responsibility. It
provided for the suspension of
the driving rights of all persons
against whom final judgments
arising out of motor vehicle ac
cidents had been obtained and
had been allowed to remain un
satisfied, the suspension to re
main in effect until the Judg
ment was satisfied and. In .add!
tion until such persons proved

"The A. A. A. bill met with
very favorable reception. It ap

direction of the solution of the
problem which would not bring

years with general approval. It
was sponsored by the motoring
public's own organization. Best
of all, it only applied in a com
pulsory way to motorists who, by
reason of their individual unlaw
ful acts, brought themselves
ithin it. Its outstanding virtue
was the elimination of any fea
tures of universal or absolute
compulsion or prohibition."

LARGEST ORE IS
BUILT OVER HUDSON
NEW YORK (AP) More
than 100,000 miles of wire has
been strung in the four cables of
the world's largest suspension
bridge, over the Hudson river be
tween New York and New Jersey.
when the bridge, now hair
completed, is opened to traffic in
1932, it win provide a long-
sought highway link between
northern New Jersey and New
York City and between the At
lantic states and New England.
Cables, each three feet thick,
cross the Hudson In one clear
sweep of two-thirds of a mile be
tween massive steel towers that
rise 63 B feet on either bank.
Each cable contains 26,474
wires: not quite as thick as a lead
pencil enough wire altogether
to reach half way to the moon.
It would take 2,000 freight loco
motives pulling together t o
break one of the cables.
Even the 8,000,000 motor cars
expected to cross the bridge In its
first year are not expected to
cause more than a third of this
amount of strain.
Length of the cables varies a
good deal with the temperature
At 110 degrees Fahrenheit on a
hot summer day they are three
feet four inches longer than at
10 degrees above zero in the win
ter.
The strands were put in place
at night or early In the morning
when all wires were exactly the
same temperature.
HAMBURG, Germany, Sept. 12.
.(AP) The assertion that Col
umbus was a Catalonlan corsair
and that his trip to America in
1492, long reputed to be the voy
age upon which he discovered
America, was really his second
Journey there, today stirred up
world wide reverberations.
Professor Luis TJllola, director
of the Peruvian national library at
Lima, strated the discussion by an
address before the American-ists
congress last night. Senor TJlloa
said Columbus first visited Ameri
ca on a voyage with Danish cofr
Bairs who traveled from Ireland
to Greenland, Labrador, New
Foundland and the American con
tinent.
In addition he said Columbus
was not Geonese and denounced
documents heretofore produced to
prove the discoverer's nationality
as falsifications. He based his as
sertions on papers he said he
found In Spanish archives in Mad
rid.
"After eight months study
among Spanish archives in Mad
rid, where I found much hitherto
unknown, authentic and incontro
vertible material, I can definitely
assert that Columbus paid his first
visit to the new world by way of
Ireland, Greenland, Labrador and
New Foundland," said Dr. Ulloa.
This was before America s oin-
cial discovery, indeed before he
was in contact with the Spanish
king.'
