United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Pinehurst, N. C., March 27 -CUP) = This is a story about Sam Parks, Jr., of Pittsburgh, and of the fine courage, high good nature, and tolerance he has shown since that afternoon at Oakmont last June when they handed him the big cup for winning the national open golf championship.
 The treatment Sam Parks has received from the press and public since winning that title is enough to embitter most men. The antag- onism against him started even be- fore he won the title. While he was still out on the course, playing the last nine holes, the press tent club house, locker room, and galleries, were thick with people saying what a pity 1t would be if "that unknown Parks" won the title, from Q field which included the greatest golfing names in the country. And during the cup presentation one could feel the unfriendliness if not the actual hostility, of the crowd that sur- rounded him.
 Hard Names
 The aftermath stories in the newspapers were merciless. His swing was torn to bits. His person. ality was criticized, he was called cheese, chump and freak champion. This bitterness turned to derision when he began the winter circuit with his rival professionals and failed to keep pace. His failure in tournament was played up more than the success of the winner.
 His exhibition tours bordered on the dismal. Two days ago, in the second round o fthe north and south open, I followed him around, his gallery, even counting his partners and the three caddies, never unm- bered more than ten during the erl- tire 18 holes.
 Yesterday, when the rain fell in torrents, and play was postponed, I went looking for Sam Parks. I wanted to ask him how he felt about the things that had been said of his game: how 1t felt to be the national champion, and trudgc along the fariways alone and look across the course and see hundreds of spectators scurrying along in the wake of players without @ title.
 He Can "Take It"
 found him in the lounge--alone and ready to answer any ques- tons. {.
 Don't mind what you ask me-" he said with @ grin. T won't be embarrassed. In fact, I'll ask tho first question for you. Don't you want to know just how I feel about all the things that have happened to me since won the open at Oak mont last year"
 "That's right" said, "but I don't want to make you mad"
 "You won't. Well, to tell you the truth, it's been pretty tough. l think 1t would hurt anybody to be the national champion and not be able t odo any better than I have this winter. People think the cham pion should be the best, and I'm not. There are ten fellows in this tourna- men right here who are better golfers than I am. Maybe more than that. I've been hitting the ball better this winter than I ever did--much better than I did at Oak mont - but I'm not hitting 1t good enough to win.
 T knew couldn't hope to lick them when started the tour, and l knew was sticking my neck out by making 1t. But I knew never would learn to beat them unless l did, 50 I went along. People have been pretty tough on me, but l minded. I've improved my game @ lot, and maybe I'll be able to make them forget my failures later on."

NEW YORK, May 80 G.N.SO.
Eleven defense lawyers at the
Luciano vice trial today were
working to perfect their plans to
save nine underworld characters
accused Of running New York S
12-million-dollars-a-year vice traffic
from conviction on charges which
could net them hundreds of years

Special Prosecutor Thomas E.
Dewey rested the States case last
night afer Mildred Balitzer, his
star witness. left the stand.
Mrs. Balitzer, strikingly attrac-
tive matron who was born in West
Virginia, came to New York,
married three times and at last
became the wife of one of the big
geSt prostitute agents in the city,
named Charles (''Lucky'O Luciano

She said Luciano was her hus-

YACHT BIAS
K|LLSMAN

BOSTON, May 80 G.NsO-One
man was missing following a mys-
terious explosion and fire today
which destroyed the $4,000 pri-
vate yacht, Dream. partly owned
by retired police captain Harry N.
Dickerson, tied up at the end Of
the Dorchester Yacht Club pier.
Norman Aversion, of Wollaston,
caretaker of the yacht who always
sleeps aboard, was missing, and
feared to have been blown from
his sleeping quarters by the blast.
A few minutes before the blast he
was seen walking toward the yacht.
A dozen guests, last of those at
tending a party and dance at the
clubhouse, were just leaving as
the explosion occurred.

only a small part of the $1,254.-
440, or 1904 per cent Of the
total bonus money, especially
earmarked for new clothing Of
all kinds.
S27S,56O For Clothes
AS a direct result of the final
payment of the bonus, for which
The Washington Times and other
Hearst newspapers have com"
paigned since 1919, it is believed
veterans residing in the District
alone - not counting nearby
Maryland and Virginia counties
will buy suits and overcoats
worth $278,560.
For shirts, they will probably
pay $24,480; for shoes, $4,000,
and other mems furnishings, $70..
$50.
Thus, the total estimated out.
pouring of funds for mems cloth
ing of all types reaches the fig.
ure of $414,720 - no small
amount when it IS remembered
that Government economists be-
lieve the spending will be done
within a comparatively short
space of weeks.
But a major portion of the
SLIPS, 440 set aside for clothing
has yet to be explained. OF this
total amount, $40, 900 should DO
passed over store counters for
children'S clothing, and $370,720
for new dresses and hats and
shoes and hosiery for the wives
Of veterans.
Not Masculine Money"
Thus, Federal experts have
pointed out, almost as much actual
cash will be paid out for women'S
clothing as there will be for mems.
The money to be put into circular
ton in such a short space Of time
because of the final bonus pay
ment- is by no means masculine
money" it is declared, but instead
will be expended more or less along
the lines of the ordinary family
dollar.
The cash figures in this estimate
Of clothing expenditures in the
District have been based directly
on the intentions Of the ex-service
men themselves, expressed by
them in a survey of over $4,000
veterans conducted by the Amer
lean Legion.
And besides clothing, the veter.
ans are expected to expend mil
lions of dollars here for homes.

equipment and many other things.

.H00VER.B0RAH
CLASH DUE AT
CLEVELAND
Former President to
Speak, and Senator
Likely to Answer
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


The long smoldering feud be-
tween two of the outstanding
figures in the Republican party,
Herbert Hoover and Senator Viii
liam E. Borah, will be transferred
to the Cleveland convention 10
days hence and may add consid-
cradle fireworks to an otherwise
fairly harmonious convention.
Mr.. Hoover is going to Cleve-
land and he has been invited, as
a former President and as the
titular leader of the party, to ad-
dress the convention. Senator
Borah is going to Cleveland. He
has not been asked to speak, but
the belief prevailed today that If
Mr.. Hoover expoundS his views
before the convention, Senator
Borah will demand a similar op-
portunity-and get it.
Both Just Guests
Neither Mr.. Hoover nor Sena-
tor Borah is a delegate to the
convention. Both are distin-
guished guests and have been in
vited to occupy seats Of honor
on the platform, along with ex-
Vice President Dawes, Repub-
lican governors, and all Repub-
lican members Of the Senate and
the House.
Speech IrkS Hoover
The Idahoan's nationwide radio
speech Thursday night, in which
he denounced the present leader
ship Of the party and demanded a
thorough housekeeping, starting
at the top, was directed more at
Hoover's administration than at
Roosevelt's. Mr.. Hoover's friends
realize this and deeply resent it.
It was Of more than passing sig
nificance that Mr.. Hoover'S deci'
sion to attend the convention was
not announced until after Sena'
tor Borah's speech Of Thursday
night, although the invitation had
been extended as a formality some
days ago. His acceptance, an
nounced in Palo Alto, was inter
preted in political quarters in the
nature of an answer to the Borah
criticism.
The suggestion that Mr.. Hoover
speak, as the titular head Of the
party and a courtesy due the only
living ex-PreSident, came from
John D. M. Hamilton, the Landon
manager, who said:
81 am impressed with the OPP
pOrtunity which would come to
the convention to hear Mr..
Hoover. His coming to CIeve-
land will be welcomed by both
delegates and visitors, who will
feel it q privilege to have an ex-
preston from him regarding the
vital issues of the campaign"
BORAH SILENT
From the Borah camp today
came no expression as to how
the Senator felt. Carl G. Bach.

tented himself merely with say.
