Washington, June 4 -AP- A
proposal to organize American

The fact that such an offensive

that our forces are not yet ready,

While Darwin Is not within effective

Moreover, it would have some
moral value, In that 1t would enable
the Axis propaganda to proclaim
that the invasion Of Australia had
begun. 1t Is quite true that no really
serious invasion Of Australia could
be conducted from Darwin, because
of the lack OF water and poor inter-

ELIOT,

Renewal Of Allied attacks on
Timor and of Japanese attacks on
Port Moresby suggest that the Pc
riod of quiet which followed the
Battle of the Coral Sea may be ap-
preaching it's end, and that the
waters and islands north and north
east of the Australian continent
may again be the scene Of operations
on q larger scale.
The bombings Of Timor. which
have been kept up at intervals by
American and Australian myers, are
probably for the purpose OF keeping
down Japanese air activities based
on that island. Timor is the logical
base for any Japanese attack on
Port Darwin, and 1t may be that
the Japanese are now preparing for
such an effort. 1t is hardly likely
as yet that Darwin could be used
as an offensive base by the United
Nations; there has not been time
for the assembly Of strong am
phibious forces there, nor Of base
facilities for them. A Japanese at
tack in force on Darwin would be
an offensive, not a preventive meas
ure at the present time. Its OBJ
jective would probably be to estab-

AS for Port Moresby, this long

conceivable that Port Moresby was
the goal Of the Japanese task force

would be OF value to the Japanese
as an air base for attacks against
the cities Of the North Queensland
coast and for raiders striking down
that coast inside the Great Barrier
Reef. It would also serve as q base
for any landing attempt on the
Cape York Peninsula. A landing
in this area might be made stimuli
taneously with one at Darwin, with
a view to dividing the defense
forces. An advance down the Cape

Japanese quickly within air striking

Relief Journeys
Organization Is Going
All Out to Keep Golf
Doing Its War Bit

Members Of the Professional
Golfers Association were asked to-
day by PGA President Ed Dudley
to stage series of Nation wide war
relief turnaments at their clubs
July 18 and 10, on the same days
the crack pros of the Nation will
play in a Red Cross benefit match
at Detroit. The PGA Ryder Cup
team will play a team of challengers
captained by Walter Hagen at Oak
land Hills, near the motor city.
"The Professional Golfers AS
sociation of America" said Dudley.
''is making an all-out war effort
to keep golf doing its bit in these
times, and we are making this spe-
cial appeal to our 1900 members
to do their utmost in putting on
war relief tournaments at their
respective clubs" Dudley suggested
81 entry fee, but left the amount
to the judgement of the club pros
who will stage the tournaments.
This is a splendid opportunity
for all of us to lend our full support
to this cause" said the PGA prexy.
Proceeds of the club Journeys
would be turned over to the USO,
and to Army and Navy relief. The
Detroit. affair is replica of the
successful meetings of professional
golf teams, and Dudley asks that
the days of the match be set aside
for further effort by the pros for war
relief purposes.
All the clubs around Washington

inspired fund-raising effort.

shop today for the first time, where
members may look it over and rate
their golf by the Cox system or by
the other systems.
Basic principle of WHY'S handi-
cap idea is that every man has
private par, his real score, the one
he averages any time he starts. All
of us have a private par which we
should consider as base," says Cox.
Take the average businessman
golfer. He does pretty well If he
shoots around 80. In fact he does
very we'll if he hovers around that
figure, for golf Is hard game and
no man can become an expert unless
he studies it, practices it and plays a
lot. So say the average business
man who scores around 80 Is doing
very we'll. The average score prob
ably will be lot higher.
Should Have Private Par.
"The private par for that man
should be 80 and not 72. If he shoots
86 or IS he should consider he has
had a good day. If he goes up to 95
he can claim he has had bad day.
So I give the 90average man a
handicap of 10 strokes. Yes, know
par for this course is u, but who
shoots to par? I don't and I don't
know any amateurs who do, either.
Take the case of fellow who Is
constantly banging away at par.
Gene Pittman, our club champion,
does it pretty consistently, but Gene,
of course, doesn't always hit par or
below. Gene has his private par.
It's 72, which happens to be par for
the course.
Now on this card land Witty
pointed to the new score card which
he has arranged, have taken the
holes as they come and put the
private par on each hole for the
scratch man and all the way up to
the high handicap man. It's as
ridiculous to expect an 18-handicap
guy to get As on the second and 10th
holes as it is for me to shoot a ST
every time I start. Therefore I've
taken the tough holes and raised
the personal par of the high -handi-
cap men a stroke to bring them up
to their true average. 1t was easy
when I started, and I think 1t might
work out.
But the point is lot of people
are fooling themselves. Instead Of
shooting at the course par they
should have their own private par
and try to stick to that or beat 1t
every time they start. If they can
lick this private par they've done all
right"
