Par in Indian Spring
Pro-Lady Tourney

The Middle Atlantic golf profess
sionals gave no indication that they
would tear the Indian Spring course
to pieces in the $500-added District
Open next month when par with
stood the best efforts Of 81 pros in
the annual MAPGA Pro-Lady tour
nament yesterday at Indian Spring
Winter rules were played, too, which
made the course easier.
Par of 10 was equaled by Manor's
Clagett Stevens with his best COM
petitive round of the season, AL
Houghton of Prince Georges, who
won the pro sweeps In the same
event last year with the same score,
and Baltimore's Andy Gibson of the
c. c. of Maryland and Ralph Beach
of Suburban.
Women Help Partners.
Ninety women golfers turned out
and two of them, Mrs. Rex Howard
of Kenwood and Mrs. Bernard Trupp
Of Suburban. really gave their part
ners some help, aided by a two
thirds handicap allowance. Mrs.
Howard Clipped in the cup for a
birdie sand net 2-on the fourth
hole and with George Diffenbaugh
posted 66, score tied by Beach,
who had three brides within a space
Of four holes on the back nine, and
Mrs. Trupp.
Until some of the late starters
came in. the event was almost a
carbon copy of the one last year
Houghton had his same 10 and the
host pro and assistant, Mel Shorey,
and Bob Bowers, who tied for first
last year, were deadlocked with new
partners at 81 best ball scores.
Shorey teamed with Southpaw Mrs.
K. s. Giles and Bowers with Mrs
Charles Jorg.
Two other 67s that tied for second
in the best-ball event were by
Stevens and Mrs. H. E. Davies OF
Manor and John Shorey of the
Pennington Club in Charlottesville
and Mrs. J. T. Powell OF the host
club.
The next best pro score was a II
by Bowers that included only &c
puts.
Greens True, But Heavy.
Although some of the lowest scor-
ing of the season has been accom-
plished at Indian Spring, the pros
cannot seem to do much with old
man par there and it looks as if a
par total might win the 36-hole
D. c. Open. The green's were true
but heavy, and Shorey undoubtedly
will be pestered by entrants desiring
practice rounds before the tourna-
ment, to get another crack at the
greens.

Fifty Years Ago

Many applications for employment were be-
ing received by Librarian of Congress John
Russell Young just half GEN.
New libroN tury ago. The Star for July 30,
EmpIoyes 1897, said that 10S positions
would be filled in the new build
ing then being occupied. Moving the books
from the Capitol meanwhile was in progress.
An Official explained that he wished this work
could be done as it had been in Berlin. "The
soldiers from the barracks to report . each
armed with basket. One half the regular
library force was detailed to pack the baskets
and the other half to receive them, the soldiers
doing the rest" Thus, "the entire collection
of 900 900 volumes was removed in one day"
"A crowd of immense proportions" said The

non. The time for the event
was fixed at 7 o'clock and one Of the interesting
features in connection with it was that it was
held just as announced. When the word
was given, the lines were loosened and the
balloon went straight up in the air. There
was no wind to speak Of and it may be said
that in this respect the ascension was one of
the most successful ever held in this part Of
the country. When at the altitude of about
5000 feet Miss Shannon cut the parachute

les in democratic lands? Or, lastly, has
Soviet indoctrination been so complete as
to stultify normal human intellectual
processes and make Mr. Krasilnikov and
his ilk actually believe what they say?
Fantastic though this last hypothesis
may appear to rational minds, 1t should
be entertained as possibility. The more
we explore the dark recesses of totalitarian
theology, the more we become aware of a
"revaluation of all values" proclaimed long
ago in the twisted philosophy Of Nietzsche
and subsequently elaborated by totalitarian
prophets Communist, Nazi and Fascist
alike. Is this not the full Towering of that
baneful reason of unreason" against
which Qrtega y Gasset has long warned
us? If so, it reveals to us more profoundly
than ever the mortal theological enemy
which the civilized world confronts.

The Atomic Deadlock

WIN the united NaJlOnS Atomic energy
Commission scheduled to submit It's second
report to the Security Council by Septem-
ber Is, the Russians seem more adamant
than ever in their refusal to go along with
the overwhelming majority in establishing
an effective system of world control. They
say they favor such system, but their
version of 1t Is so watered down, so made
quate, so loose and vague, that the outlook
for near-future agreement apparently
Is hopeless.
The majority of the commission-ten
members against Russia and satellite
Poland-support the American plan in
every key essential. That is to say, they
favor the creation OF an unprecedented
and powerful international authority to
own or otherwise control all dangerous
atomic facilities and operations through
out the world. This authority would be
armed with vetoless inspection system
and with vetoless punitive machinery to
guard against the hazards of violations
and evasions. 1t would cut across the
prerogatives of national sovereignty as no
agency has ever before done in history.
To that extent it would be revolutionary,
but no more so than the atom itself.
Unless something very much like 1t comes
into force, mankind must henceforth live
in an atmosphere of collective insecurity,
competing in an armaments race whose
end result-coming suddenly, with panic
madness-might we'll be the annihilation
of civilization and of most of the human
race.
Despite this towering and unparalleled
menace. however, the Russians-alone
among the great powers -stubbornly resist
the control plan Of the majority. AS If
atomic energy were not unique, as if it
had not already blasted away most of the
ancient concepts of international politics,
they hold fast to their national sovereignty
and suggest that they will remain forever
unwilling to surrender any measure of it.
It is true, of course, that they pay lip
service to the idea of strict world control
and vetoless inspection over day-to-day
operations in the field Of nuclear power.
But they will have nothing to do with the
essentials of the American plan, and when
they are asked to explain their own plan
in specific detail, Mr.. Gromyko, their
representative, does little more than hem
and haw and take refuge in diplomatic
gobbledygook.
In the circumstances, the British have
taken sound step in deciding to address
directly to the Stain government in
Moscow request for fortnight, unequiv-
ocal answers to set Of specific questions
designed to smoke out precise definition
of just what Russia really has in mind
when 1t talks its double-talk about world
control Of the atom. The answers should

Shadow Over Britain

The British governments request for
extraordinary powers to deal with that
countrys mounting economic crisis would
give rise to fewer qualms II it were not for
an uneasy conviction that Winston
Churchill may have been correct when he
warned that in the application of those
powers there will lie grave threat to
long cherished liberties and rights"
It Is not that one suspects the Attlee
government of any calculated scheme for
the abrogation of freedom in Britain. Far
from it. The only question is whether, as
crisis builds upon crisis, and as one step
leads to another, it will not be discovered
that there is no stopping place on the
road to authoritarian government. Once
the fate of a nation has been committed
to an all-powerful government, there is
little opportunity to turn back. And the
men who constitute the government, how
ever good their intentions, are apt to find
themselves driven by the pressure OF
events to an ever-increasing reliance upon
naked authority until, in the end, the
rights and liberties Of the people are
totally subordinated to the assumed neces-
stiles Of the state.
This apprehension is not lessened by the
comment on the power -delegating bill
which was made Friday by Herbert Nor
rison, Lord President of the Council. The
bill is worded to assure that "the whole
resources of the community are available
for use and are used in the manner best
calculated to serve the interests of the
community" Commenting on this, Mr..
Morrison said that the government has
mo preconceived notion as to precisely
how we propose to utilize the bill, but
what we want is the power"
That is remarkable statement for 1t
suggests one of two things: Either the
Labor government is demanding an un-
precedented peacetime grant of power
without a plan for its use, or it intends
to use the power for purposes which 1t is
unwilling to disclose until the desired
authority has been granted.
1t is not at all surprising that the
Conservatives, the Liberals and even a
few of the Laborites shy away from what
could amount to an abrogation of the
function Of Parliament. For as the debate
brought out, Parliament, If in session,
could veto any act of the government
under the new bill; but anything done
while Parliament Is not in session would
remain valid and could not be wiped out.
This prospect in land where the tradi-
tion of freedom has been so strong, is
disconcerting one. But as the shadow
falls across Britain, it does no good to
tear ones hair and declaim against dicta-
torship. For the Attlee government is
faced with the harshest sort of economic
reality, and it is privileged to select its
own means OF dealing with the crisis We
can only hope for the best

Hitler still was fearful Of an Allied in
vasion of Norway. Doenitz considered the
danger slight, because all Of the enemy forces
are concentrated on the western land front"
The effort to bring German troops back from
Norway was hampered by coal shortage in
that country.
Dissension In the Army
Indicating dissension in the German Army
Hitler on March n ordered an investigation
OF ofncers occupying the posts Of fort COM
manders in the Channel Islands. He said the
posts should be filled mainly by naval officers
since many fortresses have been given up
but no ships were ever lost without fighting
to the last man"
Doenitz admitted to the Fuehrer that it had
been a mistake to build battleships instead
OF concentrating on the construction of
larger number Of submarines.
Our enemies had such lead in the field
OF battleship construction that it was i'm
possible for us to overtake them" Doenitz said
"A superior submarine force would have given
us much better chance to end this war in our
favor within short time"
After long period OF trial Doenitzs vaunted
new U-boats were ready for operation at the
end Of March, But during the last five weeks
OF the war the Allied advances squeezed the
U-boats out Of the Baltic ports. In April, 81
of the U-boats were lost, SO sunk at sea and
"a destroyed through air raids and other
attacks. 1t was the highest monthly total for
the war.
The new U-bosts were virtually useless be-
cause of the fuel shortage. Doenitz reported
to Hitler:
THE consequences will be that submarines
will be unable to operate after about 20 April
and all supply tranhc and all shipping will
stop sometime in April"
The manpower shortage and lack Of arms
also had become desperate. Doenitz told Hitler
that, while it was possible to make navy men
available for the army there are no weapons" !"
ALLIED troops pressed on into the center Of
Germany, and the position Of the Wehrmacht
became hopeless but as the disorganiza-
ton in Germany increased ." Hitler's armies
and air forces that he so diligently moved into
action were nothing more than colored pins
on map"
Hitler's orders convinced Goering of his in
sanity and he attempted to take over the
leadership. Hitler ordered Goerings capture
and execution, says the report, but Goerng
was only relieved of his command. In the
meantime Hitler received press reports that
Himmler had sued for peace with Britain and
the United States-"to Hitler it seemed as If he
was surrounded by traitors" He ordered
Doenitz to take Immediate and decisive
action" against those in North Germany
The Russian encirclement OF Berlin cut all
communications of the Reich chancelery, ex-
cept a radio link. Hitler sent hysterical mes
sage to Gen. Alfred Jodl:
Where are Wencks spearheads7 Where are
they going to attack? Where is the 9th Army?
Where are Holste's spearheads?"
Nothing more was heard from Hitler. On
the following day. April 80. he committed
suicide with Eva Braun.

be forthcoming at the earliest possible
moment. According to an official spokes-
man, Britain is willing to wait a long
time for them, but now long? With a
nuclear armaments race already on, the
world cannot wait indefinitely for the men
of the Kremlin to declare fatty whether
they intend to cooperate or not.
If the Soviet answer is to be mo-" the
sooner the world knows it the better. The
deadlock over control of nuclear power
cannot 60 on endlessly. If Russian CO.
operation is out of the question, then the
rest of the world-the part of it that is
willing to work together-must begin
thinking about special agreements of its
own designed to keep the Kremlin and its
satellites at permanent disadvantage in
a grim new atomic balance of power
Such setup would have fearsome i'm
plications, but 1t would be better than
nothing whatever, and nothing whatever
Is about all that the Stain government
seems willing to offer at this stage.

Doomsday in Germany
Captured Documents Lay at Rest the Legend of the
Unconquerable Wehrmacht
By Richard Tornpkins

LONDON, Aug. 8 tP).-Utter national de-
terioration and total military defeat brought
about the downfall of the third Reich, a
b. .tish admiralty report said today, basing its
conclusions on captured documents it said lay
to rest forever the legend of an unconquerable
German army.
Germany suffered total military defeat. and
there was no possibility of ascribing that de-
feat to anything except military conquest" the
report says.
"The revolt against Hitler) of July 20 G944)
was squashed long before the end and there
were in fact no revolutions, no mutinies to
make possible any future sophistry about the
'unconquerable Wehrmacht.'"
The report is based on documents which
detail the "Fuehrer conferences" between Hit
Ter and his staff in the final weeks Of the war
The papers were among the German naval
archives captured by British and American
intelligence officers, and contained day-to-
day account Of confusion and panic in the
German high command.
The beginning of the end was in early 1s45
when shortages of coal, manpower and oil
made Germany's situation desperate.
"A comparison Of these last four months with
the period Immediately preceding the italian
collapse shows how much the German high
command had declined" says the report.
by the beginning Of 1945, Hitler's ability
had deteriorated, and he showed himself quite
incapable Of viewing the war situation as a
whole.
"Where one would expect to find an ac-
ceptance of military defeat leading to plans
being made for guerilla warfare and for con-
Rrb io
stead nothing but series of tactical schemes
fronts, neither related to nor co-ordinated
with any general strategy.
'The conferences give clear picture Of
Hitler and his staff, desperate in the face Of
a situation they could no longer control, and
so harassed that they could not think beyond
the immediate requirements Of battle"
The Nays Role.
The navy early in 1s45 was trying constantly
to determine what naval personnel could be
spared for land forces and decided to make
available three remaining regiments of the
naval rifle brigade, though there were valu-
able specialists in the regiments who were
needed for new ship construction.
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, naval COM
mander-in-ch reported to the Fuehrer early
in February that the naval high command had
been cut drastically from 5000 to $500 to pro-
vide men chiefly for naval emergency units.
Doenitz also reported critical shortage of
ammunition for the heavy guns of the heavy
cruisers"
About this time, Doenitz urgently requested
additional Diesel oil for continuation of sub
marine warfare. There also were demands
from shipyards for preferential treatment in
matters of personnel, coal and power.
Russian submarines were able to operate un-
disturbed in the Baltic sea because there were
no German aircraft there to combat them
