BY OSCAR FRALEY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Atlantic City, N. j., May 20 - (U.
P) Slammin' Sam Snead and
little Ben Hogan were favored TO
reach the PEA golf championship
finals as eigh survivors Of field of
l02 professionals teed of IN the
quarter-flnal round at Seavlew
country club today.
Snead was the favorite In the up
per bracket, where he was grouped
with Jimmy Demaret, Detroit: Ma
tional Open Champion Craig Wood,
Mamaroneck, N. Y, and big Ed
Dudley, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Hogan was in the bottom half OF
the draw, where survivors incvluded
Byron Nelson, Toledo, an over
whelming favorite before the tour
nament opened; Corporal Jim Tur-
mesa, Fort Dix, and Lighthouse Har-
ny Cooper, the comeb-back entrant
from Minneapolis.
Par-Wreckers
Snead, the Virginia hill-billy with
the mighty wallop, was supported on
hsi record In winning two matches
playing So holes in IL under par.
Poker-faced Hogan, his wrist in
jury completely healed, was 10
under par for the same number Of
holes.
Snead blasted Willie Goggin,
White Plains, N. Y, off the fairway
yesterday with a and 8 victory,
sinking six brides and an eagle.
Sam was three under par for the 20
holes. In the first round he easily
defeated highly-regarded Sam
Byrd, and @.
Hogan tossed eight brides and an
eagle at KY Laffoon and walked
away with a 8 and decision In
what had been expected to be a
rough battle. He was six under for
the % holes.
Cooper, Nelson and Turnesa all
had tough going. Staging another Of
his garrison finishes, Lighthouse
Harry came from behind and nosed
out Lloyd Mangrum, Chicago, one
up. Cooper was one down at the
9th but evened the match on the
28th. He went up on the 31st and
won by halving the Seth.
Near Upset
Nelson almost was the victim Of a
major upset, but defeated veteran
Joe Kirkwood, Arlington, Pa, 2 and
l. He was four up at the end Of IS
but Kirkwood rallied. Lord Byron
had too much reserve and captured
the 33rd and saith holes for his mar
gin.
A bad drive on the last hole cost
jug McSpaden, Philadelphia, a
chance for victory. He dropped it in
the wodos and before he could re-
cover, Turnesa scored a par that
gave him a one-up win. They were
all even at 10 and McSpaden had
gone one up at 81.
Demarest was five under par for
a 2 and 2 triumph over Tom Har-
mon, Montclair, N. j., giving him a
total of seven under par for 70 holes
He was considered a greater threat
now than at any time since he won
six major tournaments in 1910.
Dudley eliminated Toney Pennd,
Dayton, Ohio, and 2, carding a
36-35-7l for three-up edge at the
halfway mark. Wood was one under
par for 80 holes In a Z and 6 VIC
tory over Leland Gibson, Kansas
City, Mo.

Talun, Angel And
Sharkey To Show
AT N. B. Monday

New Britain, May 20 - Maurice
CHE AngeO Tiliot, who until two
weeks ago, reigned as the heavy
weight wrestling champion of the
world, will start his comeback cam
paign at the Stanley Arena here
Monday night when he tackles
Wladyslaw Talun, giant Pole, in the
feature bout on the mat program
prepared by Matchmaker Ed Hurley.
Tillet lost his championship to
Steve (Crusher) Casey and Monday
nights match will decide which of
these two men will be the logical
contender for Casey's title.
A few short weeks ago, Talun held
the Angel to draw. 1t was the first
time that the Partisan had been
held even since he started wrestling
In this country. Because of that and
also, because 1t has been bruited
about through the wrestling world
that Talun is the logical opponent
for Casey, Tillet Is determined to
win Monday night. The bout will be
over the usual championship route
or two falls out of three to win with
u 0U-ul1tluLe ClI1e LlH1C.
Back Again
Jack Sharkey, the former heavy
weight boxing champion, will be the
third man in the ring. He was se-
lected over the protests of Carl Po-
jello, the Angels manager. He APP
peared here last Friday night as
the third man in the ring in the
Westenberg- Casey match and he
made an excellent impression.
Three 30-minute, time-liMit bOutA
will round out the UNDERGRAD. In
one, Rudy Paytek, the sensational
Polish youngster from Wisconsin,
will meet Leo CThe Lion) Numa. In
another, Les Ryan, former Fordharn
athlete, will tackle Sliding Billy
Hanson. In the curtain raiser. Mike
Rogaski of Buffalo, faces Steve
Passas of South Boston. The first
bout will go on at $3.50 o'clock and
the main contest will start not later
than $3.50 o'clock so that it cannot
be called q 1880, Connecticut's
curfew law limit.

of an airship's surface is vulnerable?
You can shoot right through an arship
filled with helium gas and make only small
leak that can be quickly sealed up by the crew.
The risk OF fire and explosion is no greater
on an airship than is the risk Of fire in an
airplane, or automobile, or anything which
carries a tank Of gasoline as fuel for it's
motors
Far at sea the only thing which an airship
would fear would be an aircraft carrier with
its 1890 planes. But realize we'll this point
An airshp is a scout whose job is to locate
major enemy. forces. Any scout lives by
variation Of that old adage:
He who scouts and runs away lives to
scout another day"
If u. S airship could have located the
aircraft carrier which swept into Hawaii and
launched its planes for the great attack on
Pearl Harbor. il would have found a large
share of the Japanese fleet.
Tho Japanese aircraft carrier was not
travelling alone. You can be sure of that.
These costly and most valuable craft never
travel alone. They have with them protecting
heavy cruisers small cruisers and many de-
stroyers, a whole battle force in itself
Thus if the L. s. airship had spotted the
aircraft carrier radioed back its position and
then were shot down, 1t would have fulfilled
its mission. a main section of the enemy
fleet would have been located
Against anything less than an aircraft
carrier, high flying airship at sea has little

would drop off from the airshp and make
short work Of the climbing enemy airplanos
The planes on the airshp remember
would have all the advantage in altitude
You can assume even the impossible Sup
pose that the planes from the enemy's surface
craft somehow knocked down the 10 planes
from tho airship Even then the airship
would not need mercy TO save itself
Terrific guntire is possible from a big
airship You can mount many machine guns
and small cannon on it and cover it from
every angle of attack
Moreover the big bulk Of the airship makes
a firm steady base from which TO fire and aids
better aiming of the guns Compared TO an
arplane, firing from airship is like firing
from the steady surface of a battleship in
contrast TO a rolling destroyer.
Far out over the Pacific only big patrol
bombcrs could fly as far, or faster than an
airship But the fighter planes within an
air5hp would make short work OF any pom
dcrous long range patrol bomber that might
chance to spot the airship.
Without fighter plane escort big bombers
are dead pigeons IN this war.
Within siX months after bueprints leave
the drafting table the United States could
construct a large arship. During World
War l. Germany was turning them out at
the rate Of one every six weeks, We can do
better than that today
The cost Of an arship would be only that
of a destroyer.

Congressional appropriation committees see
the light But in those days appropriations
of So OO00 600 seemed huge and the advocates
of airships lost their fight.
This country would have given 10 times

have had a fleet of these great sky scouts

Where a surface scouting cruiser can
putter along at. say 30 knots modern air
ship can travel nearly three times as fast.
Based at Hawaii or at Los ArEelog great
airships of the United States could roam
nearly to Australia and back Far at sea they
would be immune to attack by the one weapon
they fear shore based, swift fighter planes
Airships so huge that they seem like
