zel Saturday granted an annual
rate increase of $498,417 for
West Coast Telephone company.

than he granted would ' be un
justified because "the company
has failed to provide a reason
ably satisfactory service in most
of its exchanges, has failed to
fulfill past promises for im
proved service and has failed in
its public relations."

3.62 per cent annually based on
its investment, will be raised to
5.66 under terms of the order.
The Washington State Public
Service commission recently
granted the company a 6.8 per

Chantilly, France (U.R)
Henri de Lamaze of France won
his sixth French Amateur golf
crown Saturday with a 5 and
4 victory over young Don Bis
plinghoff of Orlando, Fla.
De Lamaze's triumph ruined
American hopes of sweeping Eu
rope's two major amateur golf
titles. Lt. Joe Conrad of San
Antonio, Tex., who was beaten
by de Lamaze in yesterday's
semi-finals, won the British
championship last week.
US Team In
Golf Lead
Washington (U.R) T h e U.S.
team tightened its grip on first
place in the international golf
tournament Saturday as PGA
champion Chick Harbert match
ed par 70 and open king Ed Fur
gol broke regulation figures for
the first time with a 69.
Australia's Peter Thomson
jumped back into the lead for
individual honors, posting his
second 67 of the four-day tourna
ment. Belgium's Flory Van
Donck, who entered the round
three strokes up on the 26-nation
field, had trouble putting on the
rain-soaked greens and shot a
73.
Thomson's three-day total of
208 was one ahead of Harbert
and Van Donck. They were trail
ed by Argentina's Roberto De
Vicenzo at 211 and Harry Brad
shaw of Ireland, Eric Brown of
Scotland and Furgol at 212.
In team' totals, the U.S. had
421, three ahead of Australia's
entry of Thomson and Kel Nagle.
Next were Belgium, 426; Scot
land and Argentina, 427; and
Ireland, 428.
The 36-year-old Frenchman,
regarded virtually as unbeatable
on his home course here at Chan
tilly forged a 5-up lead over Bis
plinghoff on the morning 18
holes and then maintained his
top-flight golf to close out the
match on the 32nd hole.
It was the second straight year
that de Lamaze had beaten an
American in the final. Last year
he beat Clarke Hardwicke of Los
Angeles, 4 and 3.
De Lamaze, a burly Paris bus
inessman, played with machine
like precision to frustrate Bis
plinghoff's bid on the afternoon
round.
Conrad Beats Cudd
Bisplinghoff, competing in
only his second international
tournament, made the final
round with a 3 and 1 victory
over Bill Campbell of Hunting
ton, W. Va., Friday while the
36-year-old De Lamaze defeated
the tourney favorite and British
amateur champion, Lt. Joseph
Conrad of San Antonio, Tex., 4
and 3.
Bisplinghoff was 2 up at the
turn against Campbell Friday
and then refused to wilt as the
West Virginian turned on the
pressure on the back nine. Bis
plinghoff ended the match on
the- lengthy 17th when he
smashed his third shot a foot
from the pin and won the hole
with a birdie four.
In the quarter-finals earlier

K. G. Thorn of Britain, 3 and 2;
De Lamaze defeated Lt. Jim

8; Conrad licked Bruce Cudd of

Next time you're driving around town, just
notice the number of gleaming new Dodge cars
you see on the street!
Then ask yourself: "What is it these people
have found out about the new Dodge that's
causing this landslide of popular favor?"
Part of it, of course, is the new Dodge styling.
You can see at a glance how much bigger and
more luxurious this car is up to 9 inches
longer than its competitors.
But the real story behind the rush to Dodge is
this; People are discovering the difference in the
way Dodge cars are engineered and built!
They discover it in the solid, substantial feel of
the car the way it handles and rides. They
learn to appreciate it in the deep-down good
ness of every part and feature: Doors that
don't rattle. Body joints that don't squeak.
Windows that work smoothly.
There is really no substitute for the depend
ability that is built into Dodge. Isn't it time
you discovered this difference for yourself?
