Just for the record, though, all such scores made with use of the preferred lie, are not legitimate un- der USGA rules of golf; though many players might be surprised to learn that many of the scores in the sixties" posted last winter by the leading professionals of the game, in southern tournaments, were made in the same manner, principally be- cause of the fact that the labor shortage was such that the southern nok courses could not be kept in proper condition; denying the play CT fair chance to hit the ball from the fairway.

 The attendant had a ready an- swer, to wit: "just wait1l Q ball is fouled into the stands. One guy will get up and start running toward the spot where the ball landed.

 ALL ALIVE

PARIS, Nov. p - Orly Airfield announced tonight that the wreck age of an American C-53 Trans port sought since Tuesday had been found in the Alps near Interlaken, Switzerland, and that all the II persons aboard were alive
 The transport was found on a 30-degiee slope about 500 feet from the peak of 10,000-foot high mountain, according to a message rom enc of the search planes which was in direct communication with the grounded crewmen.
 Orly Field said three persons were seen walking about the wreckaee A party of Swiss moun- tain climbers and American nurses and doc0ors left Interlaken imn1edi- ately for the scene of the crash, reported to be 13 miles Southeast of that city
 Six men, four women and a lit- tie girl--all of them Americans are still huddled about the wreck age ol an Army Transport plane in The frozen wilderness of the Alps.
 For the first time, food and med lcal supplies have been dropped to the marooned Americans. And for the first time, rescue aircraft are circling the spot-in the shadow of the mighty ice-covered Jung frau, and not far from the jagged spike of the Matterhorn, King of the Swiss Alps.
 Earlier, all rescue efforts had been doomed because of dark, mur- Ky weather. A cloud bank over the Alps made it impossible to con duct operations hy air, and noun tailleers, working up the mountain side with pick-axes and other AL pine gear, also had been stymied by the weather.

 The debate illustrates the fun damental difference between House Republicans and their counterpart in the Senate. While GOPers in the House have been waving their arms about cutting taxes, more statesmanlike leaders in the Senate have urged go-slow policy, all Of which came to a head in the COP caucus last week

 Knutson had hopes of selling Senate COP leaders on sweeping tax reductions, but Senators Bob Taft of Ohio and Style Bridges of New Hampshire disillusioned him.
