Climax Iron Shot
 Won For Nelson
By OSCAR FRALEY lI1nited Prnss Staff COrrespondentl

tOHlvCu TEOoS 0tAh SVAh
 New Rochelle. N. Y, June l9-- (UP)-The unerring iron shots which have made Byron Nelson one of golf's highest-paid professionals paid of again today -- $2,666'66 worth
 For big Byron boosted his bank roll by that much as he won the Red Cross open at Wykagyl Coun- try club yesterday and the shot that allowed him to pick up the marbles was the same that gave him the 1889 National Open title
 Nielsen, the transplanted Texan from Toledo O. v'o'la
 his final round of Il for a 76-hoie total of PTS to have MOA M. -., :, For Sgt. Vic Ghczzi was four fat blows away when the field retrcated to the clubhouse. But once again 1t was those long irons, firing with the precision Of machine gun, that gave Nelson the big blue chips
 Because when they started the final 18 holes under blazi11 syn, GhezN was rolling along like an automaton and he hit the turn for home with a 36, one under par, while Nelson was two over regula- ton figures going to the ninth hole. When they started, Nelson was five strokes to the good. Yet as he stood peering into the sun on the ninth tee the word reached him that a pair would mean he had lost three of those fading five strokes-with nine holes still to play.
 PayofR Shot
 His drive on the 487-yard ninth was only mediocre. But he whipped cut his two iron, took a peek over the crest of the hill and into the green in the valley, and then walked back and blasted it up to within 10 feet of the pit. The putt was an anti-clirnax, as he canned 1t for an eagle three. Instead of losing three strokes he had saved two of them and Ghezzi's goose hung high. They both tourned the back nine in 34-and that was the ball game.
 The win boosted Nelson ahead of Sammy Byrd and second only to Jug McSpaden in yearly winnings with a total of $l4.34l compared with the Jug -Haid's" $i5,100.
 Other Scores
 Third behind Ghezzi came Mike Turnesa, with 284, while Jack Pa troni of Manchester, Vt, and Gene Sarazine tied at 2S5. Then came McSpaden with 286; Craig Wood, 287: Herman Barron, 289; Tony Manero and Sam Byrd, 29l's: Nor rie Gravatt, Williamsport, Pa, Jim Johnson, Detroit, and William Cog gin, White Plains, all 292; Henry Ransom, Houston, Tex, Tony Penna, Dayton, O., and Bud Lewis, all 2e3: Joe Turnesa. 2e4: and Paul Runyan.

PEARL HARBOR SECRECY
From Washington, ID. c. Post)

From Washington ID. c. Post
The public is entitled to know why
the fleet was bottled up in Pearl Har-
Dor at the time of the attack when
war with Japan had been imminent
for weeks. 1t is entitled to know
whether the repeated warnings OF a
sneak Japanese attack were trans
mitted to Admiral Kimmel and Cen
eral Short. Who was responsible for
denying the Navy the planes it needed
for proper reconnaissance?
1t is shocking that in this great
democracy facts so intimately related
to cur costly reverses in the early
days of the war should have remained
concealed for nearly years.
We think the Administration is un-
der obligation to bring the information
at hand out into the open, not by way
of building case against anyone but
by way of frankly releasing to the
people what they are entitled to know.
1t goes without saying that rumors
and political innuendo will fly thick
and fast until some such step is taken.
Not only that continued suppression
of the truth will lead many citizens to
believe the worst.
