THE DILLON EXAM INER WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS' Truman Renews Pledge of Support Of ‘Safe Plan’ for Atomic Curbs; Attlee Charts British Saving Plan (EDITOR’S NOTE: When opinUni are expressed In these columns, they are those of Wasters Newspaper Union’« news analysts and net necessarily of f t i i newspaper.) MAKES BID FOR STEEL PEACE . . . Cyras Chin* (facing camera) director of the U. S. mediation service, Is surrounded by newsmen as he arrived from Washington to make another effort for settlement of the paralyzing steel strike. These conferences were described as “exploratory,” although Ching later reported that the situation was “not hopeless.” TRUMAN: Supports A-Curbs “To assure that atomic energy will be devoted to man’s welfare and not to his destruction is a con tinuing challenge to all nations and all peoples.” In those words, President Tru man pledged his support to any safe and effective plans that would outlaw the atomic bomb. THE PRESIDENT spoke at a ceremony in which the United Na tions laid the cornerstone for its permanent headquarters in New York city. Mr. Truman called the corner stone rites “an act of faith— our unshakable faith that the United Nations will succeed.” • The President declared that con trol of weapons is essential to a peaceful world and said that “Ever since the first atomic bomb was developed, a major objective of U. S. policy has been a system of International control of atomic energy that would assure effective prohibition of atomic weapons . . . and at the same time would pro mote the peaceful use of atomic energy by all nations.\ HE ENDORSED anew the Ber nard Baruch control plan which was rejected by Russia. The chief point of disagreement between western powers and Rus sia on atomic energy control has been insistence by the West on an effective means of inspection to see that natibns would keep their pledges to outlaw the bombs. Rus sia wouldn’t hold still for that pro posal WORLD FRONT: Spotty Picture The world picture was spotty as international developments became increasingly confused. A Washing ton development intensified the tension between the U. S. and Rus sia in the cold war, British and U. S. leaders were beginning to split on the issue of recognizing the Chinese Red conquering govern ment, France was hard-pressed to organize its government, a Greco- Tito pact appeared possible and the U. S. closed its consulate at Da rien. A look at the overall situation showed that in: W A S H IN G T O N - The United States in a new crackdown on Rus sia had obtained an indictment against Amtorg, Russian purchas ing agency in the U. S. and six of its officers on charges of failing to register as agents of a foreign power. The maximum penalty for violation of that law would be $10,- D00 fine and five years imprison ment. The firm itself was liable to a $10,000 fine. Shortly after U. S. attorney general McGrath an nounced return of the indictment, five of the Russians were arrested by FBI agents in New York. As was expected. Soviet officials vigorously protested the arrests. There had been repeated allega tions in congress that Amtorg acts as an espionage agent. Said assis tant U. S. attorney Edward R. Rig- ney: “Diplomatic passports don’t constitute a defense for the crime charged here.” The indictments did not charge Amtorg with serving as an espionage agency for the Soviets. LO N D O N — There was a de veloping split between Great Brit ain and the United States on the issue of recognition of the Com munist regime in China. Indications were that London would establish full diplomatic relations soon. However, this appeared contingent on whether the Communists would Norway Reports Progress In Atomic*Energy Study Norway was getting along rather well with atomic research, accord ing to a report by the council for scientific research. The report s a i d drilling for Uranium in Setesdal valley had been successful, and underground operations had started with a crew of 30. The country’s first atomic pile is being built near Oslo, and three universities have received equip ment for atomic research. ENGLAND: More Austerity In a drastic effort to rescue Great Britain from its financial morass, Prime Minister Clement Attlee charted an economic course designed to save 784 million dol lars annually. He also ordered a cut of 400 million dollars in dollar imports. THUS did the prime minister plot a course of more austerity for the British people. The savings effected, or hoped to be effected, would result from lop ping off spending for national de fense, capital investments, public relations and food subsidies. Attlee presented a quick, graphic interpretation of what was pro posed. “We must reduce expendi ture and increase production,” he told the house of commons. But it wasn’t as simple as the formula would seem to make it. To the already austerity-weary Britons it meant that.many of the goods for which they now have to stand in line for hours would be even more scarce., Gasoline and some food items would cost more. They would have to pay a 14-cent fee for medicines they were getting free under the national health pro gram. leave the British alone at Hong Kong and promise to respect their rights there. The difference on opin ion between the U.S. and Britain on the subject of recognition was not considered as a particularly se rious one. It was regarded here as an inevitable reflection of their dif fering national Interests. While the U.S. has been withdrawing from China, the British are still “in” and hope to remain so for obvious economic and financial reasons. DARIEN — Harassment by Chi nese Communists had forced clos ing of the U.S. consulate there. The American consul and vice-consul from this Russian-controlled city moved to Seoul. The U.S. attaches who had spent 15 months here said Communist policies prevented their relief at the end of a scheduled eight-month tour of duty. At a news conference, the reported Commu nist obstacles had limited their movements severely. Vice-consul Culver Gleysteen said he was once held four hours by Chinese Com munist police and Soviet soldiers who accused him of “signaling out to sea” with the lights of his jeep. HAWAII—The prolonged strike of dock workers at five of Hawaii’s six ports was over at last. The CIO international longshoremen’s and warehousemen’s union ordered its 2,000 striking stevedores to go back to their jobs. The men struck May 1, demanding a raise of 32 cents in their $1.40 hourly wage. The strike technically ended October 6, but continued, pending settlement of side issues involving working condi tions, pay and other issues in outer- island ports. GOLD RUSH Pea-Size Nuggets Cast New Yukon Spell The spell of the Yukon was reach ing out again to heat the blood of men who seek quick fortunes in gold. Reports ol nuggets “the size of peas” being found near Fish- wheel in Alaska bad been flashed throughout the territory and a new gold rush was on. Grizzled sour doughs, untried tenderfeet vied with each other to stake claims for the praeioui metaL Planes loaded with excited men. and mining equipment and husky dog teams were pushing into the area in a race with the arctic winter which would paralyze all mining efforts. The village of Fishwheel was mushrooming overnight like the famed cities of the fabulous Yukon of the earlier gold rush days. The lure was, like a magnet reach ing out with impelling force. FARM FAIR: World's Biggest Something of interest to every agriculturist from the man who wants to grow bigger potatoes to the high-booted cowboy with the prize-winning Hereford, is on the agenda of the Canadian Royal Win ter Fair slated for Toronto’s coli seum November 15 to November 23, omitting Sunday. IN ADDITION there will be a complete display of the latest wrinkles in farm machinery and aids to more profitable operation. The Royal Winter Fair has long been recognized as the world’s l a r g e s t agricultural exibition staged under one roof. Sponsored by Canadian federal, grain and ag ricultural * associations, the compe titions carry with them many world championship awards. FOR THE FIRST TIME in 20 years, competition in the seed and grain divisions will be thrown open to any grower in the world and thus will award the winner world championship honors. Some 10,000 prize ribbons together with thou sands of dollars in monetary awards will be handed out. Farm home displays, washing machines and a host of things in teresting to women are always fea tures of Canada’s top winter fair. GEN.VAUGHAN: 'Shock Absorber' It was interesting to note the multiple interpretations Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, White House aide, was applying to his position of en tertainer, aide and personal confi dant of President Harry Truman. AT. A DINNER given by fellow Democrats in Washington, Gen. Vaughan, linked with the capital’s ‘5 per centers” and mysterious John Maragon, one-time White House hanger-on, portrayed him self in a new light. He is, he said, a “shock ab sorber,” as it were, as well as a ‘part of the scenery” at the White House. ’IT IS NOT pleasant furnishing the throat,” he went on, “but I might as well earn my pay by be ing a shock absorber . . . at the White House.” ’I am an authority on investiga tions,” he said. “We’ve had so many investigations in the last year or so that have laid an egg.\ He pointed out that when admin istration critics complain about ’trivial things,\ it’s a healthy sign that \there is not a great deal that they can complain about.” THE \TRIVIAL THINGS\ to which the general referred were By JOE MAHONEY NEEDLEWORK PATTERNS burly l e f t - e n d o f n o r t h CARO L IN A WHO L E D THE 1948 TARHEEL FOOTBALL S Q U A D IN P A S S RECEIVING, P L A Y E D H IS FIR S T G O L L E G E GAME AGAINST VIRG INIA TEC H A N D SCORED A TOUCHDOW N O N H I S & n s r P t a y / charges that certain Washington figures with “influence” coula swing government contracts and favors where they wished for a “5 per cent\ fee, gifts of deep freezers to members of Washing ton’s official family.

Former Belgian premier Paul- Henri Spaak wanted none of a pro posed poll to determine if King Leopold should return to the throne. SUCH AN ACTION might \de stroy Belgium\ Spaak declared in a radio address in Brussels. Premier Gaston Eyskens, a pro- Leopold Social Christian, has pro posed a country-wide poll on whether Belgians want Leopold back from his exile in Switzer land. “I approve the prime minister’s desire to solve the royal question,” Spaak said, “but I do blame him, condemn him for trying to solve the royal question this way.” Gets Navy Post Edward E. Philadelphia Wilcox, former newspaperman, has been named special assist ant to the undersecretary of the navy. He succeeds Cedric Worth, self-styled author of th e “anonymous” document which touched off the B-36 probe. ISOLATION: A 'Big Peril' in Chicago, Sen. Scott Lucas (D., 1 1 1 . ) was sharply critical of a num ber of colleagues whom he called “an isolationist group of senators far more dangerous to the security of our democracy than the Com munists and fellow travelers under orders of Stalin.” Lucas, majority leader in the U. S. senate did not name the senators at whom be burled the criticism, but he identi fied them as opponents.

SPORTLIGHT- Narrow Fairways Stymie Champs ------------- By G R A N T L A N D RICE ROBERTS AND Bill Grantland Rice rvUDLEY ^ Kent, two Easthampton golf ers, arranged an 18-hole exhibition recently that I had wanted to see for a long time. It was the slugger against nature —the big hitter against the hazards of water, sand and wind. It was a matter of power vs. control. The four men in the tour of Maidstone were Sammy Snead, P. G. A. champion, Cary Mid- dlecoff, Open Champion, Lloyd Mangrum, ex-Open champion, and Skip Alexander. These four had been shooting from 64 to 68 on much longer ___________ courses than Maid- 1 s t o n e , which is I only 6,400 yards. But at the finish their range in scor- | ing was from 70 to 76, and only one of the four equalled par, Snead had a 75 and Middlecoff a 76. (With a nor mal w i n d they would have been two or three strokes higher.) It so happens that Maidstone is a links—not a course. A links is a course by a sea or an ocean. No trees are involved. The only haz ards are winds, sand dunes and sea grass. Maidstone looks more like Scotland than St. Andrews does. It has more dunes and more water and more sand. If this be treason to Scotland, let Scotland come to Maidstone. Johnny Kieran, the sage, once a 76 shooter in golf, gave up the game years ago. “I would never have quit golf,\ he told me re cently, \if I had seen this links.” The point is that Maidstone was too narrow, too well-trapped for Snead and Middlecoff, the two champions. At so many other courses around the country, Snead and Middlecoff, two of the greatest, could wander 40 yards off line and have a good lie. Not at Maidstone, where each waver ing or off-line shot exacted its penalty. You arc in sand or sea grass or some form of sea side trouble. The greens at Maidstone are small and the fairways narrow. This is my idea of a great course. I don’t care for the big greens and the wide, spreading fairways, now so much in vogue. Maidstone, at 3,400 yards, is much tougher than most courses at 6,900 or 7,000 yards. There are no hills to climb at Maidstone, which, as the years roil in, is an added feature. Each year the hills get higher. “Maidstone is a pretty narrow target,” Sammy Snead said. “You can’t turn loose like you can on those big fairways. And the greens are pretty small.” Why not? Most greens are much too big. Putting is much too im portant. Putting—where a stooping gentleman of 75 might outputt Sam my Snead. For the true test I believe in n a r r o w fairways, smaller greens and shorter marches. The Snead - Middlecoff - Mang- rum-Alexander show proved 1 was right. Control is more im portant than uncontrolled pow er. There should be a serious penalty for every shot off-line. The Rules of Golf Golf happens to be a game, quite an ancient game, that has far more players than baseball and football combined. The number runs into several millions. It is a playing game, not a spectator’s game. But in recent years, the rules of the game have slipped badly under poor control. The original rules of the game, being an outdoor com petition covering some 200 or 300 or 400 acres, was that the ball be played where you found it—without any caressing or lifting. Recently I was following a match with two ex-presidents of the U. S. G. A. They, were John Jack- son, an eminent lawyer, and Ar chie Reid, whose father was one of the six men who formed the Apple Tree gang at St. Andrews, Yonk ers, in 1892. This was a match-play round. The sun was shining—the sky was blue.- As each player came to a green he promptly picked up his ball—marked it—and stuck the ball in his pocket. “Why?” asked messrs. Jackson and Reid, who know more of the spirit and purpose of golf than most of the players. \The ball is not supposed to be touched,” Archie Reid said. “If it were raining and muddy and a special rule were made for the day, that would be different. Under the rules of golf, they have no right to lift the ball and clean it.” Mr. Jackson concurred. Both were 100 per cent right. I should like to know why the presidents of the U. S. G. A. and the P. G. A. permit this drift. T Q f f F I X - I T l B y T om G regory CEMENT SPREADER A LOT OP TIME C A N B E SAVED IN LAVING R O L L ROOFING B Y USING THIS SPREADER TO A P P L Y CEMENT.
