Thanks from Golf Fraternity

Thanks from Golf Fraternity
To the Editor of The Star:
Last Fridays Star carried an excellent
article by Walter McCallum concerning
public links golf in Washington. A few
years back, in series of articles, he
very ably drew a picture of public
links golf conditions.
I hope that The Star and Mr.. Nc
Callum will continue to call to the at
tention of all concerned the lack of
public courses in this city.
Perhaps thereby we may secure a
golf course on which a championship
may be played, rather than having to
hold the scheduled one at East Poto-
mac, which certainly is not in condi-
ton for such tournament.

 Dear Sir:
 I have always thought that best results are to be attained by con- sidering the Social Security Act as a labor act, and the 70,000,000 workers of this country as the con- stituency to be served. am aware of your strong attachment to the program, not simply because of self-interest, but as matter of principle.
 In the months to come-the diff ficult months of reconversion-you can be assured that anything you do collectively or individually to realize on your social security benefits will not only help you but the nation as a whole. Our suc- cess in gliding back to peacetime- economy depends in large part on making it possible for aged work CTS to retire and on tiding workers over from job to job without great loss of purchasing power.
 Very truly yours,

(ANP) Russian soldiers recently

Ohrdruf and slave labor camps near

their American comrades.
One unit playing here for the
313th Ord. Bn., brought along in ad-
dition a team of amazingly supple
acrobats and a hilarious comic pair.
The comedians, mixing slapstick
with subtle satire, engagingly dis
proved the popular conception of
Russian stoicism.
American troops responded with
enthusiasm to a full voiced chorus
singing in Cossack style such favor
ties as 'Mexicali Rose" "Ava Ma
ria," numerous native Russian
classics and the not too familiar but
inspiring '.Red Army Mems Song"
However, the whistles, wolfcalls
and standup applause was reserved
for lovely Olga Alexandrova,
Ukraine beauty, who was featured
in dance parody called "An Acct
dent in the Park"

and decided she was no accident"

The University of Iowa has estab-

Virgil M. Hancher conferred the de-
gree of doctor of philosophy upon
two Negroes = Nick Aaron Ford,
former professor of English at
Langston university, and Milton
Gordon Hardiman, professor of
romance language at Lincoln uni
versity, Missouri. It was the first
time that two members of the race
had received the highest degree
from the university at one time.
Both DR.. Ford and DR.. Hardiman
received M. A. degrees from Iowa
several years earlier, and according
to Registrar Barnes, they have
maintained an unusually high schol-
astic record during all of their grad
uate study. DR.. Ford's dissertation
was Study of Social Propaganda
in Imaginative Literature by Negro
Authors" while DR.. Hardiman
made Study Of the Epithet in the
Works of Chautebriand."
DR.. Ford is author of two books,
advisory editor of Negro Story Mag
azine, former editor of the South

tributor to national magazines and
