make the decisions necessary to

which they were faced.
At about the same time, a SINH
lar group was meeting In England.
1t had moved a little farther ahead,
perhaps because its members had
come to the point where they felt
that efficient planning, such as sue
cessful business institutions carried
through. might be applied TO public
affairs as well. They called them
selves the Up E P" political and

Second, that since Gas the previous

Birth of a
Big Idea

Just when the go million Jobs"
idea was born, do not know. Ger
tainly it was before anyone had hit
upon that particular figure which.
indeed, must be considered rather
as symbol than an exact estimate
Of tomorrow's needs. But there was
one statement made at a meeting
In 1910 which seems to me to have
been the inspiration for the present
report.
1t was Donald Nelson who spoke
and the gist Of what he said was
this:
I'm order to get full production
for the war effort we must conquer
certain future fears. Labor must
be cured Of the fear that this tre-
mendous production effort will bring
reaction and that war workers will
be working themselves out of a Job
later. Capital must be cured Of the
fear that 1t will bring imitation and
depression which mean that they are
working themselves out Of their in
vestments and profit"
Whether this caused the board of
trustees Of the NPA to call upon
Its committee on international policy
to set their heads to writing a pre-
scription for full employment, l do
not know. But II might seem to have
caused constructive thinking In that
direction.
These are some of the men in
volved:
William Bait. one of Americas
leading industrialists and a member
Of the War Production board, heads
the NPA's board of trustees. The
chairman of the committee Of the
NPA which prepared the report is
Stacy May, economic advisor to the
McGraw-Hill publishing company.
There are 81 others who compose
the committee which drew I'D the re-
port. They are representative men,
bers of industry. labor, agriculture.
finance, public affairs, professional
life.

SAN GABRIEL, Calf, Jan. 21.-
1t has taken three years of arduous
practice, but Henry Ellsworth Vines,
once the monarch of the tennis
world, has come into his own as a
golf professional.
ELY Vines, one of the all-time
greats of the net game, has just won
his first golf tournament against
big-time competition He captured
the San Gabriel Country Clubs pro-
amateur best ball event yesterday
with a course record-equaling 64,
seven strokes under par.
Byron Nelson, golf's man of the
year in 1943, finished second with 81.
Nelson was doing everything right,
getting long, straight drives, being
on the green In 2 and holing his
puts. But Vines was superlative.
He had to putt only 26 times on 18
holes and never was over par any
where.
Vines performance was on the
course where he learned to play the
game when he quit tennis for good
in 1910 after being the world anna
teur champion and then king of the
net pros for five years. The fact he
knows the course by heart hardly
detracts from the lustrous perform
ance. however
The long armed, long-legged Vines
has been the hottest golfer in South
ern California all winter. Prac-
tically every course he has toured
has surrendered to his shotmaking.
But for two jinx holes, the 9Th and
18th, which he 3-putted four con-
secutive days, he might have been
right there with the winner. jug
McSpaden, in the recent $4,000 Los
Angeles Open.
McSpaden wasn't around yester-
day. but it was just as we'll for the
Philadelphian, for nobody would
have beaten Vines. He and his part
ner, Watson Hills, won the best-ball
event with 81, Hills contributing
three holes in spite of Elly's great
performance.
Vines, now 80, seems to have mas
tered all the shots in golf. He has
tremendous power in his shoulders,
fine competitive spirit and coolness
under pressure. His coordination is
perfect.
This game doesn't get your legs"
Ellsworth remarks, land it keeps you
out in the open. Quite difference
as compared to transforming for in
door tennis matches, played at

ATHENS, Ga, Jan. 21.-A $500

eligible football players last season

Butts 1914 plans.

roly- poly coach.
The conference Executive Com
mittee announced through Secre-
tary w. D. Funkhouser at Lex
ington, KY. that Georgia had been
charged with playing five transfer
students in violation of a conference
rule.
Funkhouser indicated the action
would have no bearing on results
of Georgia's 1943 games.
I'VE won't 60 into games in which
ineligible players participated" he
said, since wartime conditions al
tered the situation at many schools
in 1943."
Coach Butts readily admitted
using the transfer students last fall.

Butts said he used the players
after informing Conference Com
missioner Mike Conner and two

also acted on authorization from

Georgia officials announced that
they had appealed the fine.
The Georgia coach said Billy Rut-

five players challenged, was the

others, he said, included Fred
Burke, a tackle from Newcastle,
