Patty Berg
Stays Ahead
Grossinger, N.Y. (U.R) Patty
Berg and Louis Suggs, who we're
the title favorites before the
tourney got underway, were
making the form look good to
day by leading the field into
the third round of the Triangle
. Women's Roundrobin golf tour
nament. -
Miss Berg, defending cham
pion from St. Andrews, 111., was
out in front in the unique scor
ing system with 38 points, but
little Miss Suggs of Atlanta,
Ga., was right on her heels with
29.
Sixteen star feminine players
are competing in the roundrobin.
Each day they play in four four
somes, switching around until
they have played with every
other player once. A player re
ceives a point for each stroke by
which her medal score is better
rthan that of another member of
the foursome and loses a point
for every stroke by which her
score is bettered.
That puts Miss Berg ahead,
although her medal score for
the total 36 holes played so far
is 147 to Miss Suggs' 146.
Her are the standings at the
start of the third round:

Linksmen Launch Grueling
National Open Competition
San Francisco (U.R) It was
the old-timers versus the young
sters, with old man par in be
tween, as the 55th annual Na
tional Open golf tournament got
underway today on the Olympic
Club course that has been dub
bed "The Monster."
The names of Dr. Cary Mid
dlecoff, Sam Snead and Ben Ho
gan, among the veteran cam
paigners, are listed as the
choices to win this most-coveted
of all crowns.
But it is a gruelling test on an
exacting course and for that rea
son such brilliant young shot
makers as Gene Littler, Dick
Mayer, Bob Rosburg and Mike
Souchak also are given a good
chance to cop the big prize.
What makes this tournament
tough on the old-timers is the
fact that the 72 holes are played
in three days with 36 holes
slated on Saturday. Add the hills
of the course to this and it may
spell doom for the 43-year-old
Hogan, for instance, who has
trouble enough walking on flat
land with his game legs.
But some of the veteran ex
perts, such as Lawson Little, be
lieve that if ever a course was
made for Snead, this is the one.
Takes Strong Man
"It takes a strong man with
powerful wrists to cope with this
course," said Little. "Snead fits
the description to perfection."
Snead thinks a 284 will win
the tournament and that would
be four over par.
But a lot depends upon the
weather," said Sam. "If it con-
tmues real nice, there may be
some fine scores. If a wind
comes up, the scores may climb
to up around 290."
The weatherman has promised
fair weather over the weekend,

Test Air Raid Alert Yesterday
Proves Civil Defense Planning
Yesterday's test air raid alert
in Medford and Jackson county,
part of a nation-wide two-day
alert, provided civil defense of
ficials a working example of or
ganization in the event of an at
tack. Maj. Gen. Joseph H. Hicks,
county director of civil defense,
said the most important phases
of an alert organization were
assembled in good time, but two
delays, one of them in Salem,
hindered efficient operation by
local groups.
The first alert, that Portland
would be bombed within three
hours, was received here at 8:20
a.m. and within 30 minutes a
radioglcal team, Red Cross dis
aster program personnel and
sheriff's deputies were assemb

Although personnel was at the
civil defense headquarters at the
Federal building, 33 North Riv
erside ave., the offices were not
set up until after 9 a.m. because
the custodian of keys for the
building was delayed when his
car broke down. However, ..by
9:30 a.m., offices were operating
and the Radio Amateur Emer
gency service was ready for op
eration. Another delay occurred in
communications because of a

Furgol.
Furgol plays the course real
well and he claims that this
layout is only 80 per cent as
tough as Baltusrol, where he
won the crown last year.
"I think it will take at least
a 280 to win the championship,"
he said.
Hogan refuses to be drawn
into any controversy on what
will win the title. He says he
feels well and hopes to play a
good game. He indicated, how
ever, that the putting on the
sloping greens here might have
a lot to do with winning the title.
George Shaw Inks 1-Year
Contract With Baltimore

George Shaw, the nation's top

Colt President and General

Sleeping Quarters
General Hicks pointed out that
sleeping quarters are available
for about 7,500 people through
the Red Cross disaster program,
and shelter is available for an
additional 1,500. Arrangements
also have been made to feed
that number of refugees. Mrs.

job in organizing, different

Signs With Colts
The 180-pound bonus baby
led the nation in total offense in
1954 with 1,536 yards. He com
pleted 91 of 196 passes and
racked up a 39 yard punting ave
rage. As a junior he topped the
country on defense and earlier
set an NCAA record with 13
pass interceptions.
Shaw reportedly received sev
eral attractive diamond offers
but decided on big league foot
ball rather than baseball in the
minors. But Kellett said that
Shaw was given permission to
play baseball if he has the
chance and may be signed by
the Portland Beavers in the Pa

However, Shaw must report
to Baltimore July 16th, when
the Colts' rookie camp opens.

Weight-lifting
Marks in Russia
Moscow U.R) A short, fat
man with the strength of 10 was
dubbed "Mr. America" here to
day. He was Paul Anderson, 5
foot, 9-inch, 341-pound weight
lifter from Elizabethton, Tenn.,
who set two world's records with
almost insolent ease Wednesday
as the United States and Russia
tied in six weight-lifting events.
Anderson firft bettered Cana

mark with a two-hand press of
402V4 pounds and then broke
American Norbert Shemansky's
record of 425 pounds in the
clean and jerk when he lifted
426 pounds.
Russia Claims Win
"He's Mr. America" a dumb
founded Russian official ex
claimed. A crowd of 15,000 watched
the match in Groki Park but left
without knowing whether the
United States team or the Rus
sians had won. The Russians
claimed the victory, 11 points to
9, on the basis of "winning" the
featherweight competition in
which the U.S. team did not have
a man entered.
The U. S. team and the Rus
sians each won three of the oth
er six divisions and U. S. team
leader Clarence Johnson of De
troit, Mich., said the Americans
would regard the match as a 9-9
tie.

Political Maneuver Said Foiled
By Job Refusal of Ohio Governor
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
Washington (U.R) Dispatches
report that the Midwest's No. 1
Democrat has done the Repub
licans in again.
Democratic
Gov. Frank J.
Lausche of
Ohio is report
ed to have re
jected a life
judgeship ten
dered by Presi
dent Ei sen
how. Neither
confirmation
LyieC. Wilson, nor denial
could be had at the White House.
But congressional sources sug
gested that there had been feel
ers in Lausche's direction. There
may or may not have been a
firm offer, but from Columbus
come reliable report that the
governor isn't having any of
this particular Republican strat
egy. The job would have been
on the U.S. Appeals Court here
at $25,500 a year with full pay
retirement at age 70 ,which, for
Lausche would be in 10 years.
Lausche is the impregnable
and unpredictable No. 1 Mid
western Democrat. He is serv
ing a fifth term as governor of
normally Republican Ohio. He
doubtless can have a sixth if he
wants it. The Republican scheme
was to get Lausche out of the
state and out of next year's cam
paign. '
In his absence, Ohio Repub
licans were confident they could
elect a Republican governor and
reelect Sen. George H. Bender
who is serving out the term of
the late Robert A. Taft. But
with Lausche in the campaign
the Republicans can and do ex
pect a" tough fight.
Democrats have had better
luck with this fancy political
quarterback sneak. President
Truman performed it brilliantly
in 1945 when he named Repub
lican Harold H. Burton of Ohio
to the Supreme Court. Lausche
was governor even then and he
appointed to the Burton Senate
vacancy a Democrat, as Mr. Tru
man knew he would do.
Mr. T did it again and "n
better when he named Gov.
Luther W. Youngdahl of Minne
sota to the federal bench here in
1951. Youngdahl had been to
Minnesota Republicans what
Lausche is to Ohio Democrats.
The GOP counted on Youngdahl
to lick Democratic Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey in the 1954 con
gressional election, but the Dem

ocrats had Youngdahl safely on

could take place.
Sen. Raymond E. Baldwin of
Connecticut was another Repub
lican fireball who succumbed to
a state judgeship in 1949 at a
time when the GOP was near the
bottom of the barrel for really
good men. Baldwin was ap

Democrat William Benton to
