Defeats WesJ.and, 6 and 5
in Amateur Tourney Final
Putter Has Magic
Won Title 17 Years Ago
tf "We Met"
CHICAGO, Sept. 6. (AP) Fran
cla Oulmet .tins the reading public
somewhat baffled when It cornea
to pronounce his name.
He la of French descent and be
cause of that, almost everyone
calls him "We May."
sHe ha pronounces It "We Met."
HI father, now dead, ' was
French, his mother waa Irish.
BEVERLY COUNTRY CLUB, Chica
go, Sept. 8. (AP) Francis Oulmet of
Boa ton, who last won the title 17
years ago, today recaptured the Unit
ed States golf champlona-i. p Dy de
feating Jack Westland of Chicago, 6
and 6, In the final match.
His victory was by the same margin
as he defeated Jerry Travers in 1914
when he was the 21-year-old "boy
wonder" of golf.
Oulmet got the Jump on his
younger rival- at the outset this
morning, piled up a lead of four
holes in the first seven and was
seriously threatened only once there
after. This was on the Incoming
nine of the first round, where West-
land cut Oulmet's lead to two up
by winning the 13th.
Putter Has Magic
At this stage, Oulmet performed
some magic with his putter holing
out on three greens from six to 25
feet and was five up at the end of
the morning round.
From there on It was only a ques
tion of how far the match would
go. Both played erratic golf In the
high wind but Oulmet had the shots
to check his rival at nearly every
turn. He finished with five straight
holes in par to end the match on the
81st green.
A gallery of about 2600 spectators
saw Oulmet scale the heights he has
been seeking in vain for years. Six
times prior to this year he had
reached the semi-finals, once the
final, only to be turned back. Today,
at the ,age .of 38,. he competed .a
march of triumph through a tourna
ment which had been dominated by
golfing youth almost from the outset
and succeed the great Bobby Jones
as king of the amateur realm.
Long Putt Helps
Oulmet's experience, better Judg
ment of his shots and frequent
strokes of genius on the greens were
the deciding factors. Francis was
often in trouble but ,he always had
telling shot or two In reserve when
he needed It. One of these was a
long putt, 25 feet, on the 16th hole
that kept Westland from what looked
like a sure win. Another was a
great chip at the 27th for a half,
where Westland had a good chance
to win and cut Oulmet's lead to only
lour iholes.
The wind played havoc with West
land's tee shots as well as his ap
proaches, In addition to which his
putter never behaved as it did when
he was rolling them In from all
corners, earlier In the tournament.
In his first final and only his second
championship, however, he gave a
game exhibition against an opponent
who simply knew too much about
the royal and ancient pastime for
mm to onset.

SALEM, Sept. 8. (AP) Purchase
by the state of logged-off lands for
Improvement into producing prop
erty was recommended here today by
Charles Gram, state labor commis
sioner, as one solution of the unem
ployment problem facing Oregon. The
program announced by the commis
sioner as a method of action by the
state, has. been under consideration
by the department for many months,
Oram said.
The program calls for the state to
float a bond Issue over a long peiiod
of years, secure much of the 160,000
acres of logged-off land from the
various counties, reforest that not
suitable for agriculture, then sell the
better lands In small lots to families.
and provide for long-term payment.
Aid Back to Land Move
The program would pave the way
for a back-to-the-land movement
with the three-fold object of provid
ing employment, encouraging small
home ownership and replacing on tax
rolls increasing volume of land now
unproductive and non taxpaylng,
Gram said.
Before announcing the plan for
consideration by the governor, state
land board and other official agen
cies, Oram said he had presented the
program to county officials and or
ganizations over the state and that
it had found' favor among thoughtful
men. It Is believed that the present
emergency can be met with such a
movement.
"The idle must be employed,"
Gram said, "Many must be fed,
clothed and housed. Whenever and
wherever there are projects that are
more Important they should be util
ized. Employment Reservoir
"The Idea of land Improvement is
brought forward as a reservoir of
employment when other projects are
not available.

Nearly Five Billion Accumu
latedHoover Feels So
lution Rests in Return
to Stabilized Basis
WASHINGTON, Sept. B. (AP)
The concentration of a vast portion
of the world's gold supply in this
country Is considered by the Hoover
administration a problem not within
the purview of governmental action
Shipments from foreign countries
have increased so rapidly in recent
months that nearly 90.000,000,000 has
been accumulated. The administra
tion takes the view that at least $2,
000,000,000 of the unusual surplus Is
not due to favorable trade balance.
The Inflow was attributed by high
government officials to the feeling of
insecurity of nations In foreign coun
tries about their governments. It as
made known yesterday that the ad
ministration resents the charges that
the surplus Is the result of American
hoarding.
Confidence In V. 8.
, With a large number of govern
ments throughout the world more or
less undergoing strained conditions
and in some cases crisis, many na
tionals have sent their gold to the
United States because of confidence
In American institutions.
It was made clear that the larger
portion of the gold here was held by
private Institutions and that It came
from Individuals and bankers who
were uneasy as to conditions In other
countries.
Never before in the history of this
country, officials said, had such a
situation existed in the gold market.
The American government feels that
the solution rests in the ability of
other governments and their finan
cial Institutions to return to a stabil
ized basis.
