Locke Heads Big Field
Into $4,000 Tourney
ION Columbus Links ;
By the Asseciofed Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 25E
Golfdom's leading money winners
start after another $4,000 pot-of
gold today in the second annual
72-hole medal play Columbus open
championship.
The field of SO professionals and
IA amateurs resembled the "whe's
who" of the links, with title-winners
galore numbered among the club
swinging athletes.
Bobby Locke, who came to this
country from South Africa in May
to play a few tournaments-and
stayed on to win six Of 11-was the
No. choice to take the s., 500 top
prize annexed a year ago by the
now retired Byron Nelson.
But he was expected to have
plenty of opposition from such
sharpshooters as Sam Snead, Ben
Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, Ed Porky)
Oliver, Ed Furgol, Jim F'errier,
Herman Keiser, Lew Worsham,
Clayton Heafner, Johnny Palmer.
Lawson Little, Ellsworth Vines,
CQlCk EarDerC ana q nOSL OF OCnerS.
One thing certainly was in Locke's
favor, along with his shot-making
ability. The Columbus Country
Clubs rollinf, heavily treed course
is on high ground and the greens
are fast and dry. The pitch-and-
run approach shot as practiced by
Locke and other Eropeans, rather
than the "hit-and-stick" shot to
the green favored by Americans, ap-
pears to be the necessary gesture in
getting close to the pin. The home
breds who generally shoot for the
pin may find their ball skidding far
past the objective, unless the rains
come to soften the greens.
The classy field plays 18 holes
today, another Is tomorrow. and the
low so and ties battle down the So
hole stretch Sunday. Sixty-four Of
the 107 starters are from Ohio.
The money seekers warmed up for
the tournament grind yesterday with
pro-amateur, Herman Keiser
teaming with amateurs Earl Ham
ilton and A. F. Leckie, jr., for best
ball SO. That 13-under-par effort
the amateurs picked up IL of the IS
strokes-meant $3.50 to Keiser. Jim
Milward paced the pros with SO.

TRAINED PUBLIC SERVANT

Thls columll9t, however, IS not one who believes that the dedica- ton of ones life to public service should be the o5ject of derision. Ii the nation had more trained pub lie servants such as Warren, we would be much better off
 Warren was promoted from De- putty City Attorney to be Chief City Attorney, then was elected District Attorney of Alameda County, where he proceeded to attack the Ku EluX Klan. clean out gamblers purge the racketeers ard even kick cd the Mayor of Oakland and most of the Oakla'o City Council out ol office.
 Tn fact, Warren did such a good job as District Attorney for r Sears that he stepped from that jcb to become Attorney General of the State in lo38, even at a time when the Democrats elected a Gov ernor for the first time in 40 years. And four yeas later it was only natural for hm to go one step higher into the Governors chair.
 Warren has made it quite clear he $ not a candidate for Vice Pres ident and he nas made no effort to put himself forward for the Presidency. Friends say his real ambiticn is b he Attorney General of the United States. Come June in Philadelphia, however, with the Republicans facing serious dead lock. Earl Waeren may be just the kind of new blood the party needs to arouse jaGed electoral enthusi- 2Srr..

THE CALL TO CONGRESS

After ong deliberation and thorough preparation, President Truman has at last called special session of Congress provide emergency aid for Europe in line with the Marshall plan. This action comes none too soon The economic and political crisis in Europe is mounting a rate which creates the danger that under the impact of hunger and Russo Communist sabotage 1t may develop into panic with serious consequences for the whole Western world.
 But it may be assumed that the Presidents action does not come too late. For having been taken after consultation with the leaders of Congress, which should guarantee early action, the call for a special session is in itself token of both Americas earnest ness to fulfill the promises made in the Marshall declaration and of our determination to meet the Communist challenge with more substantial measures than mere slogans This alone should provide pow oful stimulus and support to all the constructive forces of Europe whose mobilization and cooperation is the first condition for saving that continent
 There is an unansWerable logic in the Presidents position that we must give help to Western Europe, where some countries have exhausted their financial resources and unable to purchase the food and fuel essential for their survival during the coming winter This help requires Congressional action which cannot be delayed until January The available aid funds will be exhausted by Dec l. Attempts to tide the situation by drafting funds originally set aside lkor ct,ler purposes would be neither adequate nor proper time the President is quite right in emphasizing that the emergency aid is merely a preliminary measure which must be followed by "long-range European recovery program provided in the Marshall plan ard that the special session will provide opportunity to speed up it's considera- tion
