Golfers Girded
For Tough Go
In |. A. Tourney
BY GENE FRIEDMAN

LOS ANGELES. Jan. I. CUPl-A
field of 1856 of the nations top
golfers prepared for a final tune-up
Thursday before the first round
of the 1888 Los Angeles open tour
nament which opens Friday.
Pre-tournament favcrites Sammy
Snead, winner of the Portland and
Richmond opens. and Lord" Byron
Nelson, titilist at the San Fran
cisco open. were expected &c be
or hand for the opening gun OF the
three-day tourney. Other big names
included Ellsworth Vines, national
open king Craig Wood. jug Nc
Spaden and Olin Dutra.
Bruce Coltart, a freckle-faced
youngster from Atlantic City. set
a torrid pace in the qualifying
rounds. posting a 67-70-137 TO lead
the field.
He was followed by young Jimmy
Walkup, San Antonio, who dupli-
Gated Coltart's morning round of 81,
but slumped to 70 in the after
noon for a 139 total.
Mystery man John Montague shot
a sizzling 81 in the afternoon for
the days lowest score to offset an
unimpressive "a in the morning
session which put him in the third
qualifying spot with 140.
Mildred (Babe) Didrickson Ia
hariaS, western women's champion,
one of two female hopefuls in the
preliminaries, made the grade with
152 on a pair of 76's. Alice Bauer,
Long Beach, found the competition
too tough, however, and was elimi-
mated in the early rounds.
Nelson estimated that 285 would
be enough to win on the tough 5000
yard Riviera country club course,
but Wood said he figured it would
take 281 score, or better

Horse Race Levy
Melted State
S5,534,112 in "A

SACRAMENTO Jan. 4. (UP)-
State taxes on horse racing bets set
new record of $5,534,112 during
1914 and taxes for 1945 had been
expected to show another increase
until the federal ban on racing was
announced, state finance depart
ment officials disclosed Wednes-
day.
The collections included $4,291,-
344.50 for the fairs and eXpoSitionS
fund, which is distributed to coun-
ty and district fairs for use in pay
ment of premiums, and Sl,242, ,276.50
for the state general fund.
The collections were based on
three race meetings during the year,
two at Bay Meadows track in San
Mateo county and recently COM
pleted one at Hollywood Park at
Inglewood.
A scheduled meeting at Santa
Anita track, which has not oper-
ated since the start of the war, had
been expected to swell 1945 col
lections.
In the two previous war years,
state collections from horse race
bets averaged about S1,700,000, and
the highest pre-war collections for
IL months were S3,805 ,824.38 for the
1940-41 fiscal year.
Four per cent of all bets is allo-
Gated to the fairs and expositions
fund, and when the handle" for a
single meet exceeds $10,000,000 an
additional l per cent tax on the ex-
cess is levied for the general fund
and when the handle exceeds $2O,-
100000 another l per cent tax for
the general fund is taken on the
excess over that figure.

Coosting Along

But something went amiSs in the
production on the spring crop IN
southern Idaho this year and our
correspondents write from that area
that there is a movement on foot
for a curtailment of the sport next
season so that returning soldiers
will have something to shoot at
when they get back from cunning
the Nips and NaziS.
Idaho, in recent years has had
three -per-day bag limit for &c
days-90 pheasants per hunter each
season. This compares with an aver
age of 20 to so in most other west
ern states.
Lantern jawed DUO Degroot,
coach of the Washington Redskins,
/ is one mentor who can get along
with Boss George Preston Marshall
Or at least so he claims.
Refuting charges that he and
Marshall are on the outs, Degroot
says everything is lovey-dovey be-
tween them and that their five
year contract will be fulfilled.
If there are any differences on
the club" explains Dud, they are
between myself and Advisory Coach
Clark Shaughnessy. Clark believes
in use of the T formation only one
way-I want varianceS."
One of the most-decorated for
mer athletes in the nation is Lieut.
enant Colonel Olinto Barsanti, star
guard of the 1899 University of New

Barsanti, in action on the Ger

times since D-Day-June 6. He
recently was back in action after a
shell fragment wound, and was Cec-
Grated for leading in the capture OF
a strongly-fortified hill position.

 About one thing, General Eisen- hover was emphatic. He is not in- terested in going into politics.
 Eisenhower paid tribute to the President, saying, "The world needs food and leadership just now more than anything else. We've got a great leader in this country, a man from this middle west, and a man with a whale of lot of common sense."
 The General said he will be back in Europe early in July where he will be administrator of American forces and serve on the German control commission.

WASHINGTON, June .23.-Spec- ial arrangements to help airlines and war industries to get spare parts for their transport aircraft have been made by the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation and the Army Air Forces.
 The RrO announces that when airlines and companies supporting the war effort seek to buy surplus airplane parts from the REC, and they are not available, the Army will check it's own stock of surplus aircraft equipment which has not yet been declared surplus for the REC to put on sale.
 If the Army can spare the needed parts they will be shipped directly to the airline or company making the request.
 The REC said the arrangement lis expected to be more important than ever before in view of the anticipated heavy demands upon transport equipment in connection with the movement of military per- sonnel and supplies to the West Coast for the jump-off to the Pa cific war zone"

PRESIDENT 0K'5
 KEEPING OPEN
 HAYNES CUTOFF
Federal Post War Aid fo
 Alaska Also Discussed by : Governor at Olympia

Returning late yesterday from his Olympia. Washington, conference with President Harry s. Truman, Gov. Ernest Gruening disclosed here today that the discussions included Federal Aid to Alaska for postwar developments and maintaining the Haines Cutoff to the Alaska High way as well as the construction of a West Coast link to the highway.
 Presidential sympathy with the Far West Alaska Highway Branch had previously been reported from Olympia It was, however, only one of a number of matters discussed with the President by Gov. Gruen- ing and Washington Senator War ren Magnuson, the Governor stated today.
 The President looked favorably on proposals to keep the Haines branch road to the Alaska Highway open and it is to be brought up for con- sideration by the Canadian Domin- ion government as well as British Columbia authorities, 4Gov. Gruen- ing declared.
 The Governor said he had outlined to President Truman the start made toward postwar development of Alaska and had pointed out limita- tions that would be put on the pro- gram should Alaska be forced to carry it on alone He cited to the President the fact that returning service men are already turning to Alaska and that the Territory is not ready for them.
 President Truman recognized the seriousness of the situation and eX- pressed interest in and sympathy with Alaska's problem. Gov. Gruen- ing is to further discuss the post war program and Federal assistance for it through the Alaska Develop ment Board in the early fall when he will again confer with the Presi- dent in the National Capital.
 The Governor commented also on his meetings with Smaller War Plants Corporation officials in Seattle during his brief trip. He succeeded in securing the promise of a considerable group of the chief officials of that agency to come to Alaska for a first hand view of conditions. They are ex- pected to arrive in the Territory in. about 10 days, probably arriving in Ketchikan the first of the month, when Pan American World Airways inaugurates the use of An- nette Island as permanent base for Ketchikan service.
 After stopping in Ketchikan. the SWPC heads will come on to Ju- neau, then visit other Alaska cit ies. The Governor has asked them to "sit down" in the various com- munities with Chambers of Com merce, civic authorities and all other interested parties for dis cussion of all possible projects for the Territory.
 It is possible, the Governo or stated, that ex-Congressman Maury Maverick, now heading the Smaller War Plants agency, will make the trip. Already committed to come is Howard McGowan, regional chief of the SWPC.
