NELSON PUTTER STYMIES SNEAD
 FOR $2,OOO BIT

Charlotte, N. C., March 22-(UP) Byron Nelson, who had begun to wonder if his efforts to take first money in the Charlotte Golf Open wasn't like chasing the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow, pock- eted the $2,OO0 prize today after two extra 18-hole playoffS with Sammy Snead.
 The triumph came yesterday when he shot a three-under par 69, while Snead, his lame back aching from the Six-day grind, took a 73.
 It was Nelson's putting touch which provided the margin of tri- umph. Nelson, always a wizard on the green, dropped some of his most accurate butts of the season, while Snead missed several easy ones.
 The Toledo, O., veetran admins tered the coup de grace on the 18th green when he got 8 birdie two on the short iron shot hole, something no player had accomplished during the tournament. To do 1t he had to drop a 30-foot putt.
 Snead won the first hole, but Nel- son took the second when Sammy missed a two-foot putt. They halved the next four holes. Snead took a bogie six on the treacherous 5O9- yard dog-leg seventh while Nelson got a birdie four.
 Great Finish
 Nelson retained the two stroke lead at the halfway mark and the players halved holes until the 14th when Snead birdied and Nelson got par five. Nelson countered with 18th hole birdie and went three up on the 17th when Snead hooked his second drive, clipped past the green, and two putted for a oogie five. Nelson then picked up his final stroke with the birdie two on the 18th.

Have A Radish :?

W7ELL, it's about time for me to begin loOkn
w at the seed catalogues. Every year, about
now, start to plan all them flowers an vegetables
can raise 50 easy IN the winter an have 50 much
trouble with in the summer.
You would think after while would learn
how to raise garden or else quit tryn'.
But no. by the first of the year forget all the
bugs an the backaches, an my hopes begin to
sprout.
BY plantin time I'm usually just bundle of
energy an anticipation. buy enough seeds to
plant 20 acres There will be varieties that it says
right on the package won't grow south of Canada
or north of Mexico. but that won't stop Boren-
HEN read IN the gardenm' page where it says
to put lime on somethin' an no lime on somethin'
else. l always forget which - an put too much
on anyway.
My kids an all the dogs in the neighborhood
trample right where plant the radishes an |
threaten to poison 'em or shoot 'em every one.
But the trampled radishes is the only ones that
comes up
1t usually rains on my day off an weeds
grow double when can't get at 'enn.
The beetles an the aphids an the cutworms
hold their combined worlds fair in my yard.
The lawn don't grow in the shade where it is
cool to do the mowin', but it grows like elephant
grass out in front where every passer-by can see
what lazy lout lives there.
Bur don't get the idea that l am gon' to have
all these troubles in the summer of l945. No. sir.
This year it's all goin' to be different. I'm gon'
to do everythin' accordn' to plan an night on
schedule.
l said to the missus just last night: Honey.
you better lay in some jars an put in for some
extra sugar an get some more vases for flowers,
too"
But she looked at me an said, mo hurry" in
tone of voice that would discourage man who
amt got my determination.

Hamilton Field, Cal. Nov. 16- (UP)-Col. Joseph Albert Meis- finger. 'Buchter of Warsaw" who was captured in Japan, arrived here yesterday by air enroute to Washington, D. c. z
 Although he had denied respon- sibility for the slaughter of more than 100000 Jews in Poland, Mei- singer has been named by the Polish government as the Nazi war criminal who carried out the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto.
 He surrendered to American re- porters in the Fuku-View hotel at Kawaguchi on Sept. ] after an- nouncing that he intended to commit suicide if captured by the Russians because he understood he stood high on their list of war criminals"
 Meisinger admitted that he headed the GestapO in Poland but blamed Ludwig Frank, civil gov- ernor of Warsaw and the goyer- n0rs of three other districts as ordering the actual killings of the Polish Jews.
 Franz Josef Spahn, Nazi leader in the Far East, who also was captured in Japan, said Meisinger had been in charge of all German espionage in the Far East.

Jerusalem. Nov. 16. (UP)-British authorities followed up their bloody suppression of the Zionist riots at Tel Aviv today with new military decree aimed at stamping out the smuggling of illegal Jewish immi- grants into Palestine.
 A terse announcement said the government was invoking its emer- gency defense powers Immediately to empower British troops and na- tive village officials to arrest sus- pected illegal immigrants or search any place without warrant.
 The announcement intimated that a nationwide manhunt for the illegal entrants was about to begin, if 1t was not already under way.
 Meanwhile, tension appeared to be easing off throughout the Holy Land, although heavily-armed Bri- tish troops continued to patrol the Jewish coastal community of Tel Aviv to prevent a recurrence of the mid-week rioting.

 Army Responsible
 For Monilo's Rope
(NEA Telephoto)

Manila, Nov. 16 = (UP) - Jap- ans former naval commander in the Philippines made a surprise court room appearance today to swear that Gen Tomoyuki Yamashita's Japanese Army command alone was responsible for the rapes of. Manila.
 The new witness, Vice Adm. Den- schichi Okoochi, was brought from a prisoner of war camp to back up the prosecution charge that the Japanese naval troops who commit- ted many of the frightful Manila atrocities actually were under Yam ashita's command.
 In trembling voice, Okoochi, tes- tiled that he turned over command of the 10000 naval officers and men in Manila to Yamashita on Jan. 6, l945, more than a month before the city fell to the Americans.
 Amazed At Appearance
 Yamashita twisted in amazement as the bald, bespectacled Japanese Admiral took the witness stand and he glared angrily at his fellow commander.
 T notified Yamashita that I was turning over the command to him and was leaving the same day for Baguio," Okoochi said, obviously struggling to retain his composure under Yamashitas venemous stare.
 T found Yamashita in Baguio, too," he added.
 Okoochi proved poor witness under cross-examination, however
