LEGAL OPINION
 ON VETS BILLS
Board of Finance to Re- Ceive Resolution on
 Memorial Day Expenses

Action of the Board of Aldermen in recommending that Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland be directed to pay the costs of Memorial Day observance up to the amount pro- vided in the budget will be con- sideration of the Board of Finance at its meeting at 4 o'clock today. Corporation Counsel Charles s. OConnor expects to have the opinion requested of him by the aldermen for the boards attention.
 The controller, after promising the various veterans groups that such bills would be honored in the matter of payment for flowers, flags, band hire, transportation, and other costs of the Memorial day tribute held annually for 70 years, inform ed the groups by mail received Sat- urday morning before the Sunday and Monday observance, that he could pay only $200 by a charter provision.
 When Democratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly had heard the protest offered at the board meeting Tuesday night by Captain Thomas E. White, general chairman of the Memorial day committee, he cited further provisions of the same charter section used by the control Ter to show that the board had the power to order such payment up to the amount provided in the lud- get for this year. The board, he remarked, could restrict itself" by the same charter provision the con-

 Miss Crowley, juvenile probation officer, made the statement during a hearing before Judge Edward Mascolo in juvenile court of the cases of three lads who broke into downtown store.
 "Last month";" she declared, there were more juvenile cases in the city than at any previous time during my six years as probation officer. In many cases, the fault lay prin- cipally with the parents"
 "The parents, in many of these cases" she said," are too occupied with playing cards or with other &C., tivities to give proper attention to their children. feel strongly about the situation and I wish that some steps could be taken to improve these conditions"
 Miss Crowley added that her re- marks did not apply to the specific cases before the court, but that they were generally true.
 She said that she is worried about the lack of parental interest, and fears that juvenile delinquency will increase still more unless more par ents take keener personal interest in their children and supervise their activities.

PART OF MERRITT
 HIGHWAY TO OPEN

Bridgeport, Conn, June 2-(UP)- A major section of the $20,000,000 Merritt Parkway will be opened for traffic July 4, State Highway Com missioner William J. Cox said today.

 The remainder of the parkway, which extends to Trumbull, adjacent to Bridgeport, probably will be open ed next year, Cox added.
 The state traffic commission voted to establish a 45-mile speed limit on the parkway.
 The commission reached no deci- sion on whether the, state would operate gasoline stations along the route or whether concessions will be leased.
 A study of the New York state system will be made, it was said, be- fore decision is reached.

And to the buffers question:
whats he got that I haven't
got?" Snead makes answer in his
recent book along these lines:
He holds his club with a finger
grip instead of clinging to it with
a tense, sticky palm. There's as
much pressure on the shaft as
you'd feel Gin holding a knife and
fork" Good hands are something
as necessary to q golfer as to an
accomplished rider.
Snead describes the feel Of the
left-hand grip by saying that you
should be conscious Of maintain
ing it with the thumb and fore
finger" He confeSSeS to being a
''waggler," for only thus can the
golfer get limbered up so that his
swing will start without a jerk.
Some Of the other pointers this
master passes on to neophyteS in
clude a warning not to dip the
left knee, a common fault Of duff
ers, and concentration on the
left-Side performance because it Is
the prime factor In acquiring pre-.
cision.
Sammy has a soft spot in his
heart for the mashie, calling il
"the most versatile club in the
average players bag, when al
lowed to do its work without being
handicapped by tendency tc
scoop the ball. Hit down at it.
AS you get into the short irons
Snead advocates lesSened body
swing, until with the putter there
is none at all. Wrist and arm
action alone make for control ano
precision.
An entire section Of his book Il
devoted to the explosion shot with
the sand niblick, and although
the dynamiter may be bannec
this January by the U, s. g. A.
the same technique will hold fol
the simple niblick.
Snead warns that the clul
must be gripped low, not at tn
top Of the leather. The swing i
extremely upright with very littl
leg action. In gauging your shot
remember that "the distance tn
sand is hit behind the ball de
termines the length Of the shot.

Then there is his salary and pro
lessons at swank White Sulphur
and last but not least royalties on
his recently published, profusely
illustrated book entitled Sam
Snead'S Quick Way to Better
Golf" which retails at 81 per copy
and is published by the Sun Dial
Press.
Singing Sammy is a natural"
golfer, the finest in the country.
AS such, he puts little faith in
teaching by words. He can't tell
you much about how you should
feel when you make the motions
required for good shot, but he
can show you what he looks like
when he feels right"
Snead has the coordination Of
the born athlete; nothing about
his style is made" or artificial.
In his school days he went in for
track, baseball, basketball, football
and boxing, all of which gave him
the smooth, flowing rhythm that
he puts into his golf with such
telling effect.
AS a caddie at Hot Springs, his
long-hitting proves became well
known. Soon after getting his
White Sulphur post he went into
top national competition and has
never faltered since.

there are no thirds.
That's his misfortune. But he
