COPS HER FIRST
NET TITLE TOGA
Detroit, June 17 U.R Doro
thy May Bundy, chunky and
hard-hitting Santa oMnica star,
won her first national singles
crown today when she defeated
Mary Arnold, Los Angeles, 7-8,
6-4, in a hard-fought final of the
national clay courts tennis tour
nament. Miss Bundy, daughter of Tom
and May Sutton Bundy, them
selves tennis champions many
years ago, possessed too many
shots and too much drive for
her attractive opponent and
came through with decisive
points at critical moments.
The 27-year-old Miss Bundy,
who had previously advanced
no farther than the semi-final
round of the national grass court
tournament, and who had been
beaten many times in final
matches of smaller tournaments,
refused to be beaten today by
the steady, accurate play of her
opponent.
Using her overhead game to
good advantage, she repeatedly
smashed for placement points,
and it was on a sljot of this kind
that she took the title, after
Miss Arnold had several times
fought back from match points.
The champion's hard drives
kept Miss Arnold on the move
throughout the match and set
up easy points on cross-court
placement.
Although Miss Arnold hung
tenaciously to her smaller oppo
nent's heels, she held the lead
only once in the match at 3-2 in
the first set.

100-METER KING
New York, June 17 (U.R)
Charley Parker, streamlined,
taffy-haired high school kid. from
San Antonio, Texas, whose sen
sational sprinting speed depends
upon his "nervousness," became
the nation's new Junior 100-meter
king today, winning the
sprint with ease In the amateur
athletic outdoor track and field
j championships at Randall's isl
and.
Parker's nervousness generat
ed enough explosive speed to
kick cjnders at the country's
fastest youngsters, although his
time of 11.1 seconds was com
paratively slow. He was run
ning against a strong quartering
wind as he registered bis 10th
consecutive victory.
Parker's running featured the
opening day program devoted
largely to Junior competition,
although three senior events
were held. There were 19 strict
ly Junior affairs. It was a lack
luster not spiced by a single rec
ord, except for the unprecedent
number of athletes on hand
430 from 33 states.
Big Bill Hulse of the New
York Athletic club, top-flight
miler. won the senior 1500-meter
run In the comparatively slow
lime of 3:54.3 unchallenged af
ter he took the lead midway In
the first lap. He finished 40
yards ahead of his clubmate,

(ALLIES READY TO
BALKANSTATES
Greece. Yugoslavia, Albania
To Get Supplies When
Countries Invaded.
Bf Samyi D. Soukl
U. P. Staff Correspondent
Cairo (U.R The defeat of
famine and disease, enemies as
formidable as the Germans, is
being planned now for the relief
of the Balkans when "Zero
Hour" strikes and the allies in
vade. On the heels of the attacking
forces will land men and sup
plies toceed the starving people
of Greece, Yugoslavia, and Al
bania. The men and materials
assigned to this task are already
based somewhere in the desert
of the Middle East British offi
cers and men of the allied mili
tary liaison (Balkans). Numbered
in hundreds, these men are now
finishing their training which
was based on a flow of reports
that reached them from various
unrevealable sources on the sit
uation In the Balkans.
The AML was set up in Feb
ruary, 1943, by Gen. Sir Henry
Maitland Wilson acting on or
ders received from London. The
aim was to create an organization
that would be able to assist the
Balkan countries to recover
from chaos that may come after
the Germans withdraw from the
occupied area.
Priority io Greece
First priority lnt he plans was
assigned to devising a scheme
for the relief of Greece, hardest
hit, hence hardest to relieve.
AML now needs only the word
that the supreme commander in
the Mediterranean has launched
his attack and lt will be ready
to go into action with him.
Yugoslavian and Albanian plans
are also- well advanced toward
completion.
AML planners have purposely
made their scheme very flex
ible.. It can be put into effect
Immediately, or at some distant
date. It can be applied partially
or completely, depending upon
the nature of the invasion. No
one knows the target date for
the Balkan Invasion and no one
knows in what state of disinte
gration Balkan affairs will be
when the day for AML to move
In occurs. Will civil war be rag
ing or will the people be group
ed around a single leader?
Here are unknowns that make
flexibility essential in the or
ganization:
1. The target date for the Bal
kan Invasion is not known.
2. The political setup in the
Balkans li hazy.
3. Lack of knowledge as to
what, if any, local organizations
will be intrenched strong
enough to lend a hand In relief
work.
4. In trying to relieve Inland
areas of the Balkans, will AML
troops have to cope with enemy
guerrilla forces fighting a delay
ing Dattie7
8. Will the Germans carry out
a "scorched earth" policy in the
area?
o. win purely military re
quirements of an operational
nature hamper AML?
Shuns Polities
Whatever their politics, AML
officers know that the amount
of aid they will be able to give
is extremely limited, held to the
barest minimum necessary to
avert famine and disease.
AML as an organization is
strictly military no political
considerations are tolerated In
meeting their problems. In fact
omcers joining tne unit are
carefully investigated to Insure
complete freedom from "politi
cal inclinations" detrimental to
the aim of the mission. Officers
who have good background
knowledge of the Balkans are

often turned down as applicants
because of some connection with
Balkan families who are con
nected with some political party.
The knowledge of these men is
not lost, however, as- they are
often called upon to advise on
technical points while adminis
trative policy Is left to other dis
interested officers,
While the Balkans are utmost
entirely a "British sphere of in
fluence," there is some Ameri
can participation in AML, espe
cially in the supplies section.
UNRRA has also lent its support
to the Brtlish military organiza
tion, and its several hundred
workers will be cooperating ful

stricken populations.
