Nv WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-4REFor
you buffers who spend a lifetime
trying to break 100 and whose best
round is round of drinks, par
ticularly if somebody else is buy
ing. it probably isn't much OF a
morale builder to know that Byron
Nelson could have given away 3d.
600 for every time he went over
y this year and still would have
come out with a neat profit.
In round numbers Nelson h S
average $685. strokes. That's his
average for 70 rounds of tourna-
ment golf since Jan. l, and phe-
nomenal as it is it's only slightly
better than the mark of his side
kick, Jug McSpaden, whose medal
play mark for hte same number
of events is 69.72.
Golfers are as bad as baseball
players when it comes Il keeping
tab on just how they Ske doing,
and Nelson, no exception, can reel
eff figures like Ted Williams could
reel off his batting average and
total bases.
Lets see," the personable guy
who currently is tops on the links
mused. II was over u only five
times, getting one 70, one 70, and
one each of u.s. "a, and 70. On
about 40 of the rounds broke 70,
and l broke $50 IN IL of II tourna-
ments, with 269 at Nashville the
best score"
He wasn't boasting. After all,
you don't shout unless you want
something, and nobody who has
earned $39,875 in war bonds so far

Fish Urges Wider Use
OF NEGROES in Combat

Charging that use of colored SOL
diers in combat areas has been
greatly restricted in this war, Repre-
sentative Fish, Republican, of New
York last night urged that they ''be
permitted to serve In all combat
units and to fight and die for their
country the same as any other SOL
dier in the Army of the United
States"
Mr.. Fish told members of the In
stitute on Racial Relations, meeting
at the Asbury Methodist Church,
Eleventh and K streets NV, that
American postwar problems must be
solved by a united front between all
races, colors and creeds.
Representative Knutson, Repub-
ucan Of Minnesota urged that all
citizens, regardless of racial or re-
ligious afhliations, unite now for the
cause Of democracy.
Another speaker, DR.. Charles R.
Drew, chief surgeon at Freedmen s
Hospital, who helped perfect the
system of preserving blood plasma,
termed earlier restrictions which
prohibited Negroes from giving blood
fairly stupid and asserted "if the
present ruling Of segregation of
blood would be removed, 1t would
do more than any one thing to raise
the morale Of the Negro people"
