Hogan Is Second, Snead Third
and Clayton Heather Fourth
In Golf Meet
By FELIX MCKNIGHT

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. - @ -
Monotonously brilliant, w. Lawson

Golf tournament today with a burst
of brides on the final IS holes for
a 72-hole total of 273.
Eleven under par through now.
wintry winds, rain and today's In
dian summer sunshine, the broad
shouldered National Open champion
beat out Ben Hogan of White Plains
N. Y, by three strokes.
Rounds Of 74-62-7O-67 gave Little
top money Of $1,000 and his first
triumph of the winter tour. The
incredible 81 scored yesterday in
snow and slush over Willow Springs

led the P. G. A. 1S-hole competitive
record, vas the clincher.
Not even that 81 gave him time
to coast, for only the misbehaviour
of Hogan's putter kept him from
finishing on top. Three-putt greens,
scven of them On the final So holes
and some of them from r%idiculously
short distances, wrecked Hogan's
chances.
Typical of Hogan's collapse was
his first nine holes today. He fin.
ished it IN IS, one under par, and
did these things: plunked second
shots on two par five holes and
three-putted; drove a par four green
and t~hree-putted from the apron;
three-putted the ninth green from
13 feet.
Only three holes short of the fin
ish, when he still had a definite
chance to tie, Hogan chilled his fad
ing hopes by three-putting the 10th
and list holes. Even with all that
green misfortune, he was $3.50 on
the final two rounds.
1t wasn't three-putt greens that

WAR INTERPRETIVE
Continued From Page One)

\NOx4VAAAASN ~ ON
conflict is entering a new phase of
violence.
The raid On Genoa was of prime
significance because the city and
base represent a citadel Of Italy's
fast declining power. The naval
force which took part in the bold at
tack had to steam at least 800 miles
from Malta or 1900 OF more miles
from Gibraltar, its movements vlsl-
BILE to aerial observation.
Regardless Of danger from surface,
submarine and aerial attack and ig-
noring mines and coastal d%efenses,
the warships were able to hurl 300
tons of shells on their detectives, the
admiralty asserted.
Mr.. Churchill noted that the port
might have been a springboard for
an attempted Nazi thrust toward
Africa. Beyond that possibility, the
b~ombardment embodies a warning
that nc Italian mainland port out
side the landlocked Adriatic was safe
now from attack by sea, and demon
strated further that fascist sea pow
err was as impotent as Italian lane
and air forces have proven under the
test Of war.
Great Blow
The blow to Genoa was almost as
telling as that inflicted by torpedo
planes at laramie in November, and
tended to even cores for British
naval losses last month from Nazi
dive bomb attacks.
The extent and purpose Of the i'm
minent Nazi thrust into Bulgaria
must remain partly obscure, until
disclosed by events. Herr Hitler Is
certainly playing with fire, however,
in an area which is additionally Eu-
ropes powder key.
With Bulgaria overrun Xix Ru-
mania, Greece is patiently in immedi-
ate peril of invasion from the rear
by a drive to Salonika.
Bulgaria, with possibly 100000 men
under arms to oppose several times
as many veteran Nazi troopers, could
not hope to resist successfully, nor
could Greece cope with a Nazi as
well as fascist army.
But at this midwinter season the
roads required for full dress mill
tary operations are virtually non-eX-
istent in Bulgaria. On the border,
in Thrace, Turkey has massed an
army of 400, 900 and has proclaimed
readiness to fight-provided only a
nod is received from Moscow, which
must be reluctant to see Nazi power
further consolidated in southeastern
Europe.
Heavily-armed Yugoslavia is nerv-
Gus. And Britain has served no.
tice of readiness to bomb Bulgarian
military detectives from the air, and
presumably bombers will undertake
to raid the vital Rumanian oil fields,
as yet unscathed by war.
Under the circumstances it may be
suspected that any action taken by
the Nazis just now will be primarily
defensive and cautious.
Britain presumably is alert to the
possibility that the Balkan moves
may be a feint to distract from a
Nazi drive on Gibraltar which, if
successful could nullify the African
triumphs and imperil British con-
troll of the middle sea.
Nazi plans toward this end appear
to have been complicated however
by Frances attitude and the formula

Col. Lindbergh has really clarified
the issue. He answers the ancient
question: Am I my brothers
keeper?" with a fiat negative. He
would take the chance OF Hitler
conquest by stopping the war now.
He wants q negotiated peace with
Hitler. There are many people who
think war settles nothing and that
peace could come by the right sort
of program of reconstruction to be
offered by our Government to the
peoples of Europe, but all this pre-
supposes the elimination Of Hitler
ism and the return to democracy.
There is little chance that Ameri-
can money or effort would under

Col. Lindbergh does not have any
responsibility to any one but him.

the President are responsible for
the safety of the American Nation.
If Prophet Lindbergh is wrong and
Hitler gets the upper hand and
threatens the United States, it
doesn't matter very much to one
individual. If the elected repre-
sentatives of the American people
take chance and are proved wrong,
the consequences are beyond analy-
sis. Hence predictions as to how

to the Nazi occupation. And we
cannot ignore the Rumanian charge
that Russian Communists are ex-
plotting the situation in order to
make 1t difficult for the Germans
to retain their hold on the country.
1t Is almost automatic that any
Balkan upheaval must be surround
ed by mystery. The Rumanian affair
is no exception, but it is easier to
analyze If we set the facts down
simply without looking for too much
hidden meaning.
When Antonescu last September
forced King Carols abdication and
established military dictatorship,
the coup was achieved with the
support Of the powerful Iron Guard.
The dictatorship was definitely pro-
Nazi and shortly subscribed to the
axis. The general made the Iron
Guard the sole political party, and
became its spiritual" leader.
Hitched to Hitler's Star.
1t is important to remember these
things when we consider the split
which has developed in the Iron
Guard.
Antonescu has indicated that his
sole business is to preserve the inde-
pendence Of Rumania. He also has
made 1t clear that he believes his
country's fortune is bound up with
that Of Germany, that he has faith
In Nazidom and SO has hitched his
chariot to Hitler's star. That is
said also to represent the position
Of the Iron Guard as a whole.
The recent loss of Rumanian
Pennsylvania to Hungary has been
raised as one battle cry in the
present revolt but seems to be Incl
dental rather than one of the chief
causes Of the disturbance. Anto-
nescu has announced that he doesn't
recognize the ceSsion of this rich
territory to Hungary-although it
was done on order of Hitler-and
expects to get it back.
Italian Reverse Intensified Row.
The Rumanian government ac-
cepts the view that Hitler was
forced to make this concession be-
cause OF 1taly's insistence. Thus as
1taly's prestige has sunk in the war
recently. so the Rumanian demands
for return of Transylvania have
gone up. The Iron Guard in gen.
eral appears to have had no quarrel
with this attitude of their dictator.
1t Is only when we examine the
structure of Antonescu's government
that we begin to get an idea of wha,
has caused the so-called extremists
among the Iron Guard to break
away and join with others who art
oficially described as chronic dis
sidents and exploiters of trouble
Strangely enough, when the general
assumed power with the Iron Guard
support he didn't establish q guard
ist government.
The government is made up OF
various classes. Financial and eco
nomic matters, however, are in the
hands Of Observation-Disclosures
members OF the old regime OF the
king.
Germans Keep Aloof.
Here is said to lie the bone of con-
tention with the radicals. They are
dissatisfied with the dictator because
he has turned control Of finances
over to the conservatives. That
gives rise to the cry of favoring the
vested interests at the expense OF
the masses. The government charges
that this position is being exploited
by Communists.
The Germans would appear to
have kept aloof so far as possible.
