Pathways Ruined by
japanese Beetles
Tons of Bugs on Course
Destroy Gross; Invasion
Due Here Next Yeur

Tons of Japanese invaders are
giving AL Houghton, Prince Georges
Country Club professional golfer
and president, the biggest headache
he ever has had. Armed with more
lethal weapons than machine guns,
japanese beetles have invaded the
Prince Georges course in such guam
titles that Dr. Ernest N. Cory, Mary
land entomologist. estimates the
concentration on the golf course
alone at 1C tons. The bugs have
desolated many of the fairways at
Prince Georges and are continuing
their devastation.
I'VE have tried everything to
keep them off and have had the
State entomologists here for weeks"
said Houghton. I'm sure they have
done a lot of good but still these
bugs continue to chew up our grass.
Out of a space of about 40 square
feet, the entomologists took 10 cans
of about 1900 beetles each. In
other words. about 10000 bugs in
that little area on the 18th fair
way. And they are all over the
course"
Houghton predicts dire devasta-
ton to the farways at the country
clubs on the northwest side of the
city next year, adding that the
beetles will come out of the ground
next month and then will start
their annual migration. They move
at the rate of 5 to 8 miles a year.
and already have caused immense
damage in Baltimore and on the
golf courses in that area.

Sam Is Choice, Although

Ghezzi Faces Demuret
BY GALE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 27.-Six-
teen exhausting 36-hole matches
we're down for settlement today IN
the opening round of the Profess
sional Golfers Association cham
pionship at the Sea View Club. but
about nine-tenths OF the interest was
concentrated on one battle-Sammy
Snead VS.. Sammy Byrd.
1t promised to be dinger. In
fact, it was such a natural that
both players and paying customers
spent far into last night wonder
ing why the Tournament Commit
tee matched the pair at the outset
of a tournament that will not end
until Sunday.
Byrd. if course. is the former
Yankee outfelder who Quit the dia-
mond to see If he could make a
better living at golf. Only now has
he completed his five years ap-
premiership and become eligible to
compete in the P. G. A.
Tough Break for Byrd.
He has blossomed into consist
ertly fine golfer. capable of giving
any one a tussle. Though Snead
was logical choice to beat him to-
day, there was nothing foregone
about it at all. However. some
thought Byrds two great qualifying
rounds-67-72-m have earned
him a little better break IN the
draw.
Only one player outshot Byrd the
last two days. That was Harry
Cooper. the Minneapolis veteran,
who recaptured his wizardry OF a
half dozen years ago to score
67-71-138 and win the medal. The
only other player to do as well as
Byrd was Corpl. Jim Turnesa, and
they shot the same cards. 67-72.
Cooper's flrst-round opponent was
Mike Turnesa of Elmsford, while
Corpl. Jim met E. j. Dutch) Harrl-
son of Camp Hill, Pa,
AS for Snead, he steadied after his
opening days 73 and came in with
a II Yesterday, clipping stroke of
Sea Views par and finishing with

National Open Champion Craig
Wood. who speared a pair of 70s
to qualify in fourth place, drew Rod
Munday of Toledo Ohio, as his first
opponent. Byron Nelson, the pre-
tournament favorite, figured not to
be seriously extended by Harry
Nettlebladt Of Avon, Conn. Ben
Hogan drew Ben Loving of Long
Meadow, Mass.
Ghezzi Is Playing Demaret.
Another who. like Byrd, was eX-
tended no favors by the matching
up committee was Corpl Vic Ghezzi,
the defending champion. He was
paired against Jimmy Demaret of
Detroit, who shot brace of steady
72's the last two days The corporal
was qualified automatically. Sam
Parks. jr., former National Open
champion. who qualified in a play
off with seven others at 147. faced
a tough rival in Harold Jug Nc
Spaden.
A Nelson-Hogan final, inciden-
tally, would be an impossibility, as
they are in the same half of the
draw. along with Cooper. Wood is
in the upper half with Byrd and
Snead Ghezzi and Demaret were
scheduled to lead the procession at
9 am. (E w. t. today, with the
last pair, KY Laffoon and Vic Bass

special machines that enable skilled White
craftsmen to repair worn or broken parts
that, in ordinary times, would be replaced by

materials-and protect owners "for the dura-

When q new port is required, it moy

This policy applies to virtually all replace
ment parts from spark plugs to rear axles
1t has been adopted first-in-the.industry by
White, voluntarily, to conserve war mate
rials and to extend the length of time owners
can be sure of getting needed truck parts.
If the old part is repairable, it will be
returned to the original owner at the cost
of repair. If it is not repairable, credit will
be allowed, based on the scrap value of the
old part, if it has value. All parts which are
not repairable will be disposed of in accord

10 years ago and has constantly improved

its not wartime expedient with them.
MANY WHITE TRUCKS, with more

1t stands to reason that when your truck

MilliOnaires To Finance COP Campaign

Washington - The bank account of the Republican National Committee con- tinues to be as bare as Mo- ther Hubbard's cupboard, but the money situation appears to be looking up for the Republican Con- gressional Campaign Com- mittee. This is the organiz ation which provide the funds for COP candidates running for election to the House of Representatives.
 Inside word is that the boys who have quietly un- dertaken 10 fatten the Cam paign Committees lean war. chest are PennsylVan- ia oil millionaire Joe Pew and Pennsylvania steel millionaire Ernest Weir.
 To National Chairman Joe Martin and Represent atiVe J. w. Ditter of Penn sylVania, head of the Cam paign Committee, this is the best kind of good news, for Pew and Weir have been very generous con- tributors in the past. After the 1886 debacle, Pew, al- most single-handed, took the National Committee out of the red. Also he has been the chief financial mainstay of the Pennsyl- Vania COP in recent years. Weir has been a good sec ond in donations.
 But the jubilation of Mar tin and Ditter is not gen. eral in inner Republican circles. Other COP chiefs are privately asking what the Pew Weir develop ment means regarding the party's stand on issues in next years crucial state and congressional cleo tions.
 They will be the decisive battle-ground of the cam paign.
 1uDllcly the mIlllOIalfeS have not declared them selves. But the records of Ditter and Martin, who head the two COP com mittees, are incontroVert- ible.
 Both followed the Amer ica First line in voting on foreign policy measures previous to the war declar- ations.
 Note:- Now in the mid west, Martin is sounding out sentiment of party lead CTS on campaign policy.

 Subordinate commanders executed their superiors orders without question. They were not responsible for the state of readiness prescribed The board said the personnel of both army and navy at their posts with immaterial exceptions when the attack came and were fit for duty although a considerable state of alert demanded by the emergency had not been put into effect"

Further details of the 51-page findings on the sur prise Jap attack have been announced and the report said General Short assumed the navy conducting district reconnaissance and that Admiral Kimmel sumed that the aircraft warning system being op erated by the army-but neither officer made any eff fort to check these points with each other even after they warned from Washington in October and again in November that probable.
 At the time of the attack the report said army air craft in state of readiness which required them only to be ready for fight after four hours notice Aircraft were concentrated to guard them against sabotage instead of them dispersed to protect them from air attack.

Received Warnings

Received Warnings
 Short had received warning from Gen. McClelland in Washington of probable Japanese hostties saying Prior to hostile Japanese action you are directed to undertake such reconnaissance and other you deem necessary.
 Kimme had received an order from Admiral Stark in Washington saying: "Ths dispatch is to be consd- cred a warning and adding Execute an appro- priate defensive deploymen preparatory to carrying out the tasks assigned.
 The report said the failure of the commanders to take all in line with these warnings and the concentration of airpanes had resulted in "such per manent temporary disabement of airplanes that very few fighter planes able to take the air dur ing the course of the action.
 For the same reason the report said, it impos- sble to get planes into the air to trail the Japanese planes back to their carriers Said the report There were deficiencies in personnel weapons, equipment and facilities to maintain all the defenses a footing for extended periods of time but these defic- iences should not have affected the decision of the responsible commanders to the state of readiness to be prescrbed
 Had Sense of Security
 The board found that failure of Short and Kimmel to confer resulted largely from of security due to the prevailing opinion in diplomatic military and naval circles that any immediate Japanese attack would be in the Far East It said: The existence of such view, howveer, prevalent, did not relieve the commanders of the responsibility of the Pacific fleet and most important outpost
 The report said both Kimme and Short failed pro- pery to eVauate the seriousness of the situation and these the effective causes of Japan initial in the Pacific war It stated that the night before the attack both Kimmel and Short were dinner guests away from their commands but that they re- turned to their quarters at early hour.
 Reports from ships and destroyers in Pearl Harbor during the attack showed 60 percent of the officers aboard and 96 percent of the men were aboard Of 75 vessels of the fleet 49 commanding officers were at their posts of duty during the attack while g were enroute to their ships
