played a fairly steady game
and at the finish of II holes he
continued to trail Orrell by
strokes.
Coming into the 35th hole Dyke
had managed to even the count and
on the last hole he sunk a beautiful
20-foot putt to finish the match and
give him the city crown.
A large gallery trailed the pair
around the course and many times
it appeared that Orrell had the
match ''in the bag" But the
youngster kept up a steady pace.
His wood shots were at times er-
ratio, but his putting was excel
lent and he steadily forged ahead
on the final 8 holes.

s. F. News Guild
Wins Recognition

San Francisco (FP)-The San
Francisco News had no respect for
Cupid the San Francisco Oak
land Newspaper Guild taught it diff
ferent.
The fracas started when Alice
Thompson a News reporter, married
Robert Keast, a news-hound for the
competing Call-Bulletin. Miss Thomp-
sons managing editor, Frank Clar-
voc, told her that management
policy" dictated that no staff member
could be married to any employee of
a competitor and that she would have
to resign. When Miss Thompson re-
fused to do the graceful thing, Clar-
voc fired her.
That's where the guild stepped in.
After pressing the issue, both sides
accepted an arbitrator who decided
that Miss Thompson Mrs. Keast
should return to her job and get full
pay for the three months she was out.
She then resigned voluntarily to be-
come a student at the University of
California.

Urge Congress Be
Called In Session

New York (FP) - Challenging
President Truman's recent denial that
a national emergency exists, heads Of
three major independent political
groups Sept. 9 urged the president to
call an immediate special session Of
Congress.
In an open letter to Truman, ezecu-
tive chairman Harold .Ickes of the In
dependent Citizens Committee Of the
Arts, Sciences and Professions, Di-
rector Jack Kroll Of the Go Political
Action Committee and Chairman
Frank Kingdom of the National
Citizens PAC outlined a four-fold
program for legislative action to meet
the national emergency.
Their program included enactment
of real price control law, meat ra
tioning, the Wagner-Ellender-Taft
bill, federal civil rights bill and the
lifting Of immigration barriers to Eu-
ropes homeless Jews.
only a month since the long con-
gressional vacation began" the letter
declared, "the skyrocketing prices of
basic commodities make a grim joke
of the new OPA law, the threshold
of another harsh winter, lynch terror
spreads unchecked into community
after community, and hundreds Of
thousands who survived Hitler's death
pits face a living death in Europe's
DIP camps.
as this an emergency, Mr.. Presi-
dent? II is-to housewives frantical-
ly trying to find meat for their table,
and the money to pay for it. 1t is
to the families of veterans doubled up
in friends home, or forced to live
apart. 1t is-to Negroes hiding in
Georgia or Louisiana swanps.
Ickes, Kroll and Kingdom therefore
urged the special session to permit
Congress to "save millions of people
from its own failure"
1--WE did not hesitate to meet the
emergency of war. We cannot do less
to meet this emergency" they de-
clared.
