USGA Warns Golfers
Wartime Laxify in
Rules Must Stop
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Jan. l2.-Francis
Ouimet, chairman of the Champion
ship Committee of the United States
Golf Association, today strongly
scored the laxity which he said had
crept into wartime golf and warned
that from this point on the rules of
the game must be strictly adhered
to in events sponsored by the USGA.
"It is none of our business what
the Professional Golfers Association
does" he said at one point in his re-
port to the annual meeting of COLTS
governing body, 'but 1t is our busi-
ness to see that golf as a game is
played in accordance with its best
traditions.
Ouimet made reference to the fact
that the PGA was permitting its
members to carry l6 clubs, 2 more
than the maximum number stipu-
lated by the USGA, and that it had
waived the stymie rule in its cham
pionship last summer.
Says Game Is Damaged.
1--WE deplore such disregard of
rules because they serve no useful
purpose and injure rather than help
the game for the many" Ouimet
said. incidentally, those who play
in our championships must conform
to the 14-clup rule without excep-
ton"
There is no more reason for the
waving of this rule (the stymie) !"
he declared at another point, than
there would be in giving player
the privilege of removing his ball
from a divot hole. We must
play the game as the rules dictate.
Without strict adherence to these
rules we can see nothing but de-
terioration creeping into a game
that has given so many much pleas
ure."
The former amateur champion
also deplored the war-grown prac-
tice of lifting" the ball and obtain
ing a better lie, which he said had
been thoroughly abused" and de-
clared that the rule against scoring
the faces of iron clubs would again
be rigidly enforced now that the
USGA had taken hold again after
it's wartime recess.
Committee Supports Ouimet.
Supporting Ouimet's stand in
what might easily develop into a
wide breach between the USGA and
the PGA, the former body's Execu-
tive Committee said in its report to-
day:
1--WE further believe that the pro-
fessional golfers, on whom many
amateurs rely for teaching and in
struction, should be the first to con-
form to the rules and regulations Of
the game as established by sthe
USGA and our British brethren, the
Royal and Ancient Club Of st. An
drew.
I'VE cannot and will not accept
as champion a winner of any COM
petition which is not played in strict
conformity with the rules and ac-
cepted practice of the play Of the
game"
The Executive Committee said it
was not believed possible at this time
that either the mans Walker Cup
matches or the women's Curtis Cup
matches would be played against
Britain this year.

La Motta Is Battered
But 0utpoints Bell
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Jake La
Motta still is the No. / challenger
to the crown held by Middleweight
Champion Tony Zale, but his con-
crete jaw is slightly Clipped after a
furious scrap with Welterweight
Tommy Bell.
Although La Motta, the Bronx
Rock, earned a unanimous 10-round
decision over the failing Negro from
Youngstown, Ohio, the welter gave
him a good shaking up and stag
gered him in the closing rounds of
their 10-rounder last night at Madi-
son Square Garden.
1t must have been discouraging
for Bell who gave away 1012 pounds
to La Motta who weighed 161. At
least five times he hit Jake hard
enough to slow him up, but La
Motta bulled back for more each
time.
The scrap was witnessed by 1874
customers who paid $74.452.

 ze said he would bring the "in- credible statement" of It. Gen. Sir Frederick D. Morgan, UNRRA chief fn Germany, to the attention of a special meeting of the Congress.
 It not only savers of NaZism at 1ts worst but goes back to the elders of Zion forgery of century ago" Wise said ITO speak of Jews living comfortably in Poland is in brutal and harsh disregard of the 5000 Co 7b, 900 Jews in Poland who can- not, despite Gen.

 He described the statement as eshamefully partisan" and said that it did Morgan and UNRRA the greatest discredit."
 Dr. Chain Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency for Pales- tine, said he considered Morgan's statement "so palpably anti-Semi- tic" that T would not deign to enter any argument on it."

 Of Peoples Opinion
 Taken In U. S. Zone

Nuremberg, Jan. 3.--(UP)-The majority of German people are so absorbed in food, clothing and shell ter problems that they are not much interested in the Nazi War Crime Trials, 1t was disclosed to- day in a survey conducted by the Allied Control Division.
 Samplings of German opinion were taken in cross-section surveys in 38 cities and towns of the Ameri- can zone from Oct. 29 to Dec. in an effort to obtain the peoples re- action to the trials.
 Of those questioned more than 6O per cent said they believed the de- fendants would receive a fair trial. About five per cent believed Rudolf Hess should be acquitted and five per cent admitted they had learned from the trials that their leaders had betrayed them.
 The main criticisms from the Germans were that the victors alone were doing the judging and no Germans were on the prosecu-. ton staff; that the SS general staff was indicted en masse; and that the trials were staged as "a propagan- da stunt only for show"
 Only 77 per cent said they be- lieved news reports were complete and trustworthy"

 The burglar had the advantage of surprise, as the 27-year-old priest was asleep at the time. The thief carried knife, but the ensuing bat tie was so savage that the intruder lost $29 in silver coins stolen from a contribution box before he could slash his way free.
 Benack several times broke through the knife guard to punch the burglar but finally was wounded 50 painfully he was unable to pursue the fleeing thief, who also had taken so from the priests clothing. Be- mack was reported resting comfort ably at St. Catherine's Hospital with face and neck wounds.
