Nelson Annexes
s. .F.GoIf Title

10th hole of the final round Monday
after holding the lead for two days.
He was on the verge of making golf
history, playing his heart out, but
he learned what scores of other
tournament perennialS have learned.
that you can't waste a stroke when
Nelson, the mechanical man, is play
ing for the blue chips.
SECOND STRAIGHT THREE
Nelson shot his second straight
three under par 90 in the final
round to win with total of 28l, one
stroke ahead of Ferrier
Nelson started out one stroke be-
hind the soldier Monday. For IL
holes they matched stroke for
stroke. Then Ferrier got an eagle on
the par-five 18th hole to go three
strokes ahead.
Nelson began whiting at that
margin on the next hole. He drew
even on the l5tL.
Then came the fatal 10th. Ferrier,
former Australian golf champion
now stationed ar Camp Roberts,
California. dropped one ball into a
lake followed with a shot that hit
a tree. He took a double bogey on
the hole as Nelson stroked out in
par.
But Ferrier didn't quit. He birdied
the next hole to draw within one
stroke of Nelson. But one stroke was
enough to win.

Snead Hot Springs, West Virginia,
and Willie Goggin, White Plains,

Senator's Issue
Warning to 0PA
On Cattle Price

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (UP)-
Senators from western states hinted
Friday they might seek legislative
retaliation against the office Of
Price Administration if the OPA i'm
poses ceiling prices on live cattle
without congressional approval.
The OPA is understood to have
recommended live cattle ceiling of
$3.50 per hundred pounds and an
addition of 50 cents per hundred
weight to the present $1.10 (aver-
age) subsidy paid packers for coed
and choice beef
John j. Madigan, assistant direc-
tor of OPA,s food price division, has
been explaining the OPA's program
to cattlemen in Chicago and Kansas
City for the past two days. Final
ruling on any live ceilings is ex-
pected to come from Sterilization
Director Fred NJ. Vinson.
Senator Hugh Butler, CR0, Ne
braSka. said that IF OPA attempts
to pull a sharp one and put ceiling
price into effect before Congress
meets and has a chance to act, they
will have a lot of explaining to do
when the extension of the price ccn-
troll program comes up for renewal
in the next few months"
Butler said the OPA wanted to
clamp on live ceilings to buttress
several black market cases the agen-
cy now has pending before the emer-
gency court of appeals here.

ONCE TOO OFTEN.

As the tide of battle in Belgium swiftly
turns against the desperate, and ill-ad-
vised re-invasion it is fully apparent tnat
Hitler has mixed his intuitive and mill,

short of the Meuse where the NazlS pan

,,ortion of the 100000 men ever reaching

II was an action that everybody
will approve 10 give the Purple
Heart to three more correspondents
wounded or killed on foreign battle
fields. No group of men has played
a more hectic part than the news
paperme both young and middle
aged. who have followed the troops
in this World War. One of them,
the managing editor of the Atlanta
Journal. has tecn a year and a hall
in a German prison camp. Lucky ne
alive at all. So is Ernie Pyle, though
the war damage done to him was
not so great as at first thought.
This fighting business is not an old
mans game. Like football and pusii-
ism. it belongs to the kids.
Now il begins to look as if, despite
us. the Red army may have to pull
us out of the ditch. The Russians
are nothing loath to Go it, but are
starting across Latvia to the back
door to Berlin. They may get there
ahead o. US after all. The very
thought drives some Americans al
most wild. It's pity, too. We have
worked ourselves into state 0,
jealousy. fear, and suspicion OF soc
Stain and his people, which appear
to calm American minds unJusI-
fled. OF course, every bit OF our fear
and suspicion for our ally IS Just so
much ammunition for the oppoSi-
ton press in all the United Nations.
Whoever is opposed to the govern
ment in Great Britain or America
as well as the rest of the Allies
raises a great hue and cry through
its partisan organs against the Reds.
The writer of this column has
been to Russia three times since
about 1890 with the express purpose
of finding out il possible how SIN
cere and honest the Russians are,
and their leaders are, in ther ei-
forts TO improve their own civiliza-
tion and that of the other nations
with whom they must come in con-
tact. One of the best sources from
which to ret unbiased judgments
on the Soviet Union is from fellow
Americans who are travelling over
there or have come hack. One Will
find by searching his mind carefully
scarcely one skilled observer who
has ever been over there with an
open mind and not already sold out
to some interest back home, scarcely
an American who still maintains the
old suspicion he NAV have had. Al
most TO a manor wOman--thc un-
biased observers have come back
strong witnesses for our present ally
the Soviet Union, with little or none
of that fear and suspicion which
can lead so easily to hatred and iu-
ture war.
One thing is evident not merely
TO the expert but also to the anna
teur in international affairs and IS
becoming more evident to the
masses of the American people every
day, that we've either got to under
stand the Russians and work with
them, or else we've got to fight
! them. Anybody would he horrificd
at that prospect; for we have seen
how they can fight.

putting anything over on him, or
driving him into any corner. II
made us feel, too. that the Ameri-

All enumerators will be required

SEEKING HELP
When the point was raised that it
will be difficult to secure anyone to
work for from SIS to $8 day minus
gasoline cost when labor that is
unavailable could earn from So to
50 a day here, Tom Finney, U. S.
Employment Service chief in Ell

ianitors could be of great service.

superintendent of schools, Finney
reported to the meeting that in at
least a number CT instances the
services of these men would be
available.
There is no time limit during
which the cenSus must be taken

COLLEGE HEAD OPPOSES
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Outspoken as is his custom, President
Hutchins Of the University of Chicago
expresses sharp, indeed, bitter oppoSi-
ton to the governments proposal to in
augurate widespread system of vOca-
tional education in this country after the
war In making out his case in recent
article in Golfers magazine, he en-
phasized his opposition as to the part
the educational plan will have in re-
storing eX-servicemen to civilian activit-
les. Prior to writing the article, Presl-
dent Hutchins had voiced his opposition
in public statements.
In stating his opposition the educator
acknowledged the impetus given this
branch of education because of the acute
shortage of skilled mechanics when the
need for speedy war production came
upon the country so suddenly. But he
does not accede to the system being
practical one.
He turns his attention to the need for
vocationally trained men after the war,
holding that those who see in training
for trades in a wholesale way in early
peace days not only will not help solve
the employment problem, but will ag-
gravate the situation.
Simply stated he declares that such
training should be ION order that Is,
train only enough to fill the jobs in sight.
Said he Education is not a device to
cope with mass unemployment. mat
problem cannot be evaded by putting the
unemployed in school and then merely
hope that all turns out we'll Rather, the
country should look the problem square
ly in the face"
Referring to turning out a skilled
worker with no job assured or guaran-
teed, the educator minced no words.
On this phase he had this to say:
"In an age in which industrial manage
ment has simplified most industrial op-
erations to the point where they can De
performed by twelve-year-oldS, vocation
al training is fraud. In PERIOD OF un-
employment. it becomes the most vicious
kind of a fraud In the depression year
of 1884, $4,000 students finished their
schooling in bookkeeping, and $4,000
new book-keepers were hired. In the same
wear, 100000 students were trained as
Diesel engineers, and 5000 new men were
added to the 10000 employed IN the IN
dustry. The American Youth Commls-
sion found in 1910 that more than two
thirds of all occupations required noth-
ing bevond elementary education, and
that workers without any vocational
training reached normal production on
70 per cent of all jobs in less than
week"
Already the administration has re-
vealed its weakness in approach to any
logical procedure in establishing employ
ment for returning soldiers and war plant
workers who must also readjust their
Job set-ups. Chiefly the only thought at
Washington is mass programs ana
one phase of such a program is the de-
termination to have enforced peace-tlme
conscription. called by the administra-
tion compulsory military training and
sugared by the President in some amblg-
uous language calculated to remove from
the minds of the public the actual scope
