the weather made golf highly I'M
comfortable. Frosted greens early
in the morning held up the start OF
play As minutes and the day itself
was marked by raw, penetrating
cold. But that didn't seem to
bother the sharp-shooters.
Goggin's nearest rivals in the Ct
group were Dutch Harrison, York,
Pa, 1914 winner here; Herman
Keiser, Akron, O., who defends his
Augusta masters title next week;
Lawson Little, Cleveland, former
National and British amateur and
open king; George Schoux. Ma

The 6s group included such dis
tinguished performers a S Lloyd
Mangrum, Chicago, U. S. open
champion; leading money winner
of 1e47, Jimmy Demaret, Ojai,
Calf, and Morton Smith, Detroit,
another all-time great of the game.
To get back to Goggin, he called
his round his best of the year.
Straight tee shots and sharp put
ting gave him IL pars and six bird
les. He required no sensational
shots to grab the top spot, stead
mess paying off. His longest putt
was a 12-footer on the 18th.
The days lowest nine hole
rounds were turned in by Harrison
and Barron. Dutch went out in
81, while Barron came back in 81,
despite a six on the 18th where
he overshot the green. This was
offset by an eagle two on the
39o-yard 18th where he Clipped

Main features of the bill entitled
Natl Health Insurance and Public
Health act:
l. 1t provides a comprehensive ma
tional health program through a ma
tionwide system of prepaid personal
health service benefits and through
federal grants to states for expanded
health services.
2. Each state, upon agreeing to OBJ
serve minimum national standards,
would administer the system for its
own people with federal money allo-
Gated from the national health insur-
ance fund. Top administration would
be under a 5-man board.
8. Financing would be through So
cial insurance premiums of go of
of all employed and self-em-
ployed persons half levied on en-
ployer and half on employee.

company strategy" King stated
elimination of the federal govern
ment as builder of substations prob
ably will ultimately throw control OF
the northwest power pool into the
hands of Washington Water Power"
he added.
The three companies whose merger
is under way, King said, control all
major private electric distribution
facilities in Washington outside of
the Puget Power system. The merger
of Pacific and Northwestern has al
ready been approved by federal reg
ulating agencies.
It's probable that these controls
will enable these merged companies
to increase their pressure on Puget
Sound Power e Light company for
its capitulation and sale to them
rather than to the public utility dis
tricts," King concluded.
United Action Necessary
The state grange executive commit
tee last week adopted a resolution
congressional cuts in Bon
neville and Columbia basin funds.
The committee declared it would
take the united efforts of Northwest
industry, labor and agriculture to
prevent reclamation and power funds
from being cut and the basic power

Farmers are perhaps more

in the adoption of such a pro-
gram than any other economic
group in the United States, for
it is in rural areas that the most dis
tressing health conditions prevail At

Inadequate. Not only is there less
provision for care for farm people
after they become i'll, but the practice
of preventive medicine is almost non

masses of farm people and consequent
chronic malnutrition render them
especially vulnerable to recurring i'll
nesses and ailments. They have most
to gain, therefore, from such a health
program as is embodied in Senator
Murray's new BILL which in essential
respects is the same as S1606 in the
