AYOT ST. LAWRENCE, Herford-
shire. England, July 26.-The Curl
GUS who made a pilgrimage to the
home Of George Bernard Shaw to-
day went away disappointed and
muttering that maybe the seer is
getting a bit too old to kick up his
heels on his birthday.
Clusters OF the curious gathered
about the old mans home hoping to
wheedle him into some highjinks
on his 91st birthday, but Mr.. Shaw
kept out of their way and their
sight.
Only a diminishing circle of the
elect-old friends In creative arts
those who serve him in his home
and a few children and old cronies
among the villagers-contrived to
glimpse more than Mr.. Shaw's white
beard as he poked his head out OF
they backyard workshop to gaze at
the rolling hills or strolled in the
gardens.
His best friends saw to 1t that out
siders didn't trespass too far. His

on a new play which will have its

With literary colleague 8. Winston,
Mr. Shaw again discussed his views
of mans potentialities for longer
life, 200 TO 800 years that Is.

He speaks about the years as a
young man does," Mr.. Winston re-
lated, "and a listener might easily
believe that Shaw is confident his
future will run for 20 or 80 years.

vigor-and perhaps his careful, SEN

THE FEDERAL PAYROLL

Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia points out ln his latest report that in spite Of reported economics the Federal employment still is twice the prewar level In 1889 there were 9290O0 such workers Today there are 2O4s 88 not counting those serving without compensation. =
 These workers employed in 2,039 units. The presidential office accounts for IT units with l0t persons employed The cabinet departments have l2o7 units accounting for 1855 99O employees Then there are independent agencies offices numbering 833 units with 376708 employees, and emergency agencies with POP units and 51 IA employees
 While the present total represents a reduction from the wartime peak of 3,650,000, almost million of this reduction were the rolls of industrial work CTS most of them employed on military Work TOT which Senator Byrd remarks mo possible peacetme Justification could be rgged up" good many of them were native workers overseas Thus the number of non-industria, strictly administrative employees who have been taken off the swollen wartime payroll number only 650,000.
 It is granted that Senator Byrd and his commit tee to reduce essential governmental expenditures has tough row to hoe He must buck the biggest lobby in Washington and the most highly organized.

Hogan Sweeps Prizes
In Coast Golf by 6-4
Win Over Rees
BY the Associated Press

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Feb. "a
The much heralded international
golf match between Americas Ben
Hogan and England's Bal Rees was
a matter of history today, with
Hogan the winner of the $4,000
purse and the gallant little Welsh
man q popular loser.
Hogan defeated Rees, and 4, in
match play for the $4,000 portion
of the purse, and outshot the visitor
in medal competition on success
sive days to bag the $1,000 offered
by San Diego sportsman o. W.
(Junior) Todd for individual 49,
hole rounds of the 36-hole event.
Hogan closed out the match play
on the 32d hole before a sun-baked
gallery of more than 1000 yester-
day, and went on to post medal
score of 37-3+71, as against Rees'
36-39-75, for the days round.
Rees Troubled on Back Nine.
On Saturday Hogan had 1856
to Rees' 34-38-72 for the par 1886
"a layout. While the payoff was
on individual rounds, Hogan's &c.
hole tota. was 1879, Rees 147. Texas
born Hogan went l up on the third
hole Saturday, and never relin-
quished the lead.
He was 3 up at the end Of 1S
holes, 2 up-thanks to a 10-foot
putt on the 27th-at that stage of
the match yesterday, and went on
to win handily when the Brit
isher encountered trouble on the
back nine.
Rees had a chance to square the
match on the 26th, but a short
approach and a bad lie robbed him
on a birdie and both players took
SIS. To others it seems Rees' game
battle ended on the 28th, when he
was wild to the green and three
putted from the apron for a 6, two
over part to Hogan 4. This put Ben
3 up and one medal stroke in front
for the round.
Hogan In Dlmculty.
For a time earlier it appeared the
Yankee master might bump into
real trouble. On the 22d Rees out
drove him, and then Hogan three
putted the green, losing the hole.
On the 23d Hogan overshot the
carpet by so feet, used a putter for
beautiful recovery and then
missed 4-foot putt and his second
hole in succession, which left him
only l up.
But his 10-footer on the 9th for
birdie 3-the hole he went l over
on the previous day-put him up,
and from then on there wasn't
much doubt about the outcome.
Today the players, good friends
off the course, were headed for
Florida. Rees plans to play in the
st. Petersburg and Miami four ball
tournaments before sailing for Lon
don in March, while Hogan rejoins
the touring American professionals.

Armed 10 Be Flown
Westward Tonight
For 100000 Race
b. the Assoeioied Press

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 24.-Calumet
FARMS Armed, third greatest money
winner in turf history, will leave to-
night-weather permitting-on an
overnight flight to California, where
he is entered in the 100000 Santa
Anita Handicap on Saturday.
Capt. c. A. Ryan, veteran of IT'S
Atlantic crossings, planned to take
off in the -engined cargo plane
last night, but postponed the fight
"a hours because of bad weather
along the 2500-mile route. Armed,
who added $43,900 to his earnings
Saturday when he won the Widener
at Hialeah Park and brought his
total winnings to s459, IT'S, will travel
in utmost comfort.
Plane to Make One Stop.
Two safety belts will hold him
steady, but enable him to relax, and
night flying is planned for added
smoothness. The lone stop Is sched-
uled at Dallas.
Parnell, Armeds favorite lead
pony, will accompany the Calumet
gelding on the trip. With them will
be Trainer H. A. (Jimmy) Jones,
Jockey Doug Dodson, Groom Steve
Geniz, Exercise Boy F. z. Mcmillan
and two watchmen who will not let
Armed out of their sight during the
entire time he is in the West.
Sufficient oats, bran and hay to
feed the long-tailed racer during
his stay in California, as well as go
gallons of Florida water, will occupy
q corner of the big cargo plane.
In winning the Widener Saturday.
Armed duplicated his feat of 1946
and set new track record for the
mile and quarter at 2:O1M.
Armed Set Own Pace.
Jockey Dodson said Armed "set his
own pace" over the dull track and
added that he knew they had the
race won when they passed the TO
yard pole, with Talon, Argentine
second and Lets Dance
third.
Armed is the worlds leading
winning gelding and ranks
behind Whirlaway, at 1851 ,161, and
Stymie, at $516.2s5, in turf purses.
A victory in the rich race Satur-
day would put him just a whisker
behind Whirlaway in winnings.
Armed began racing as a 3-year-old
in 1914 and has finished out of the
only five times in A starts.
