LOCKE'S SHOTS
STUMP OLIVER
South African Assumes
Three Stroke Lead
In Playoff
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

CHICAGO, July = up - Bobby
Locke, playing his shots like a
machine, clicked a fouc-under-par
68 today to fashion a three-stroke
lead over Ed "Porky" Oliver at
the end of the first round of their
36-hole playoff for the Tam O'Shan.
ter $1,000 professional title prize
Some 5000 spectators followed
the international golf show down
around the ~6,825-yard course,
frequently applauding as each per-
former scored a share of sensation
al shots.
Locke, the South African seeking
his ninth tournament triumph in 10
meets since landing in the U. S.,
fashioned five brides, and went
over par on only one hole in au-
thorizing a pair of 34's against
par 1886.
Only once did his tee shots drift
into the rough, while Oliver, of
Wilmington, Del, who is the ma
tons sixth leading money win
ner with $8,49O, caught the tall
grass on at least five holes in post
ing 37-34-H.
In taking a three-stroke lead at
the turn, the knickered Johannes
burg visitor pulled one Of the most
amazing recovery shots of the en-
tire tournament of the ninth. His
third shot on hte 520-yard hole was
half buried in a deep sand trap
at the side of the green. He blast
ed out n inch fro mthe cup to
match Olivr with par 5.
Locke, who has won SO, 730 since
ed one one inch from the cup to
hitting these shores, picked up
three strokes on two successive
holes with brides. H needed only
a four-foot tap for a 3 on the 7th
while Oliver took a four. Then he
dropped a II foot putt for a deuce
on the 245-yard 9th. While his op-
ponent was 20 feet over the green
and two putted for a four.
While Oliver was matching par,
Locke methodically gained a five
stroke Lead with a four-foot birdie
putt On the long 10th for a 4,
and 3 footer for a birdie on the 18th
after unleasing another of his con-
sistently accurate iron shot
approaches which throughout the
round more than compensated
for being out~-distanced by Oliv-
er's drives.
The scrapping 215-pound Oliver
gained on the 18th with a birdie 4
after taking two pokes from the
rough and holding a 20 foot putt.
Oliver blew a chance to gain on
the 2l5-yard 18TH by missing a
4 IL foot putt as each made par
3's. But the chubby gallery fav-
orite shaved Locke's advantage
back to three strokes of the 18th by
planting his approach two feet of
the flag and ramming it down
for a birdie 3.
Both required 80 puts for thei:
first round.
Locke, whe has made five
straight sub-par trips in the tour.
nament will fave Olivre in the
closing 18 holes tomorrow starting
at 2 p. m, (CDT).

at may well be that it was i'm
possible to write treaties satisfac-
tory to both the victors and the
vanquished, and that the present
treaties are the best possible under
the circumstances. But the fact re-
mains that borders have been
drawn and territories bartered
about with disregard for the wish
es of the populations affected, and
the political and economic condi-
tions imposed on the vanquished
are bound to retard their recovery.
"The victors fought, of course,
first of all to save themselves from
being crushed under Hitler's heel,
and no price was too great for a
victory which accomplished that
purpose. But they also fought to
do away with relationships, with
annexations, with the liquidation
of racial and other minorities, and
with the political and economic
domination Of the smaller nations.
These goals they have not achieved
in the first 5 treaties, as the pres
ent state of Eastern Europe bears
witness"

Kern of streets and expressways,

Comment this week on 2 worl6
events-the Polish election and the
signing of so-called peace treat
ies-is from the American Fed
erationist an the New York Times
The Times view of the treaties are
restrained and temperate, but
point nevertheless to their weak
ness and danger to the future
Some observers are not as moder.
ate as the Times, declaring that
the treaties will prove breeders Of
another world war.
Here is the Federationist on the
Polish election:
"At Yalta it was decided to sci
up provisional government il
Poland and later sold elections tC
determine permanent plans. 1t was
stipulated that the elections should
be free. o
"The provisional government
which consisted of groups that
were in no sense representative
has proceeded, in true racketeel
manner, to purge the voters known
to be committed to democratic
principles by arrests, terrorism
execution, etc, Peasant groups, be
cause strongest politically, have
been the worst sufferers. The pro
visional government has licensed
government bloc parties to which
persons must belong to rent homes,
get and hold jobs, sor even get RI
lief food packages"
Recently there has been a
powerful religious revival in Po-
land" the AFL organ says in con-
clusion. "This profound force, in
addition to the experience Polish
voters had had in maintaining a
secret force, made it plain that the
Communist racketeers could gain
no legal victory.
"The elections were not secret.
Representatives of approved par
ties escorted voters to the polls.
Under this system the Communist
provisional government won an
overwhelming majority.
"The American Federation of
Labor calls upon our government
to reject this election and demand
an election that will be free and
uncontrolled, as provided in agree
ments, in order to assure Poland
a free choice"
The New York Times comment
follows:
Nearly 2 years after the end of
hostilities in Europe, the first 5
peace treaties to follow the Second
World War were formally signed
Feb. 10 in the Hall of Peace in

Washington, d. C.-The Veter-
