U. S. HOPES SINK
AS YANKS SLIDE
BY E WILLIAMS

HOYLAkE, England, July 3-P)
Tempers and golf scores blew sky
high at the halfway maxi in the
British Open golf tourney today
but U. S. hopes to keep the trophy
sank as Toledo's Frank Strana.
han, who topped the American
contingent, found himself seven
strokes off the pace.
Sgt. Charles (Chuck) Jennings,
the golfing soldier from Medford,
N. j., was eliminated when he
posted a 70 beside his 80 of Wed
nesday for 162-six strokes above
the figure that cut today's 10O-man
field to 40 for tomorrow's two de-
cisive rounds.
Stranahan twas disguised with
his 7e for an aggregate of $50, a
total that was two strokes better
than that of John Bulla and three
better than Vic Ghezzi's. Bulla had
u today and Ghezzi had 70.
All three made the select group
of 40 but only Ghezzi still was
hopeful of anexing the crown
which Sam Snead of Hot Springs,
Va, won last year but is not de.
Tending.
While all the Americans were
having some trouble it was all
smiles for Fred DAILY, Belfast pro
fessional. who dashed home with
a 70 to combine with his 70 of the
day before for 143 am a four stroke
lead.
No two rounds were played w.
der the same conditions all day
as a high wind from the river Dee
alternated with a dead calm to
harass the pressure-ridden golf
e-s.

stalked off the last green in white
faced anger over the 70 which
cost him the lead after his bril-
liant So of yesterday through wind
and rain.
Tell them I played beautiful
ly,' he snapped sarcastically to
neWsmen.
Cotton's aggregate OF 147-four
strokes behind Ireland's Daily -
put him in a two-way tie for Sec
ond place with Sam King, former
Ryder cup player, who turned in
u for the day.
Bulla, from Phoenix, Ariz., was
cucsing his game at every hole and
near the end of his round-with
many of his puts off line - ne
scuffed the fairway with his blue
and grey two-toned golf shoes and
muttered I'D just as well pack up
and 60 home"
But as the day wore on and the
changing wind hiked the scores
Johnny grew more cheerful.
Five players, including pro Har-
ry Smith of San Andres, Colombia,
ripped up their cards. Thirty-two
others came back with 80 or high

Hanky Game Of Doubling
Money Puts I in Jail

The old hanky game cropped up
again in Municipal Court with the
result that two of its exponents
today are in Jail, far from the temp
tation a gullible public affords.
Walter w. Womack, Is, colored,
had barely arrived in town from
his Scottsburg (Va.) home early
Monday morning when two men
engaged him in conversation.
We'll double your money if you'll
just put SIS in this handkerchief, 4"
Mr.. Womack quoted them as saying.
He told police they took his SIS,
tied it in the hanky and made a
few slight-of-hand passes in the
air.
When they handed him the hand
kerchief, it was empty-a fact Mr..
Womack said he discovered on the
way back to the Greyhound Bus
Terminal, where the men said they
would meet him. Police trailed the
partners to the Central Library
grounds where both were arrested
and the money recovered.
Melvin Banks, 81, of the 600 block
of @ street NV, and Mingo Sum-
bry, OF Jacksonville, Fla, both col
ored, were sentenced to 100 days and
so days respectively on petty larceny
charges.

A new food relief package con-
tanning 40,963 calories-enough to
keep a European going for three
weeks when supplemented by local
rations-was demonstrated to news
papermen at the Mayf1ower Hotel
yesterday.
The affair was sponsored by Off
cials of the Cooperative for Ameri-
can Remittances to Europe, better
known as CARE.
After the press conference, which
included brief remarks by Under
secretary of Agriculture Norris E.
Dodd, visitors tasted native dishes
of IL nations receiving CARE pack
ages.
Sponsors reported the food was
prepared from ingredients offered
in the food packages. Dishes were
prepared by embassy and legation
chefs, resplendent in white coats and
hats.
Here are a few of the dishes:
Romanian Sabmale, Polish maka-
ron zapiekany szynka, Italian tag
liatelle all'ouvo, Hungarian szilvas
lepeny, Greek mousaka patates,
French crepes fourrees au foie gras,
Austrian schinkenf1eckerln and april
cot pie, the last an offering of the
Norwegian Embassy.
Purpose Of the gathering was to
emphasize the versatility of CARES
new 21h-pound package, which re-
places the old Army 10-in-1 rations
that have been sent to persons in
Europe at $40 a package. While
millions of the old CARE rations
have gone overseas, officials have
Evening star., 1947-03-05

turned to a package that contains
more fats and other vitally needed
foods not in the 10-in-1 rations.
The organization now is taking
orders at the same price and is
looking forward to stepping up ship
ments in the near future, according
to Paul Comfy French, executive
director of CARE.
The new package contains the
following: IL ounces of luncheon
meat, q pound of liver loaf, a pound
of braised beef, 2 pounds of sugar,
2 pounds Of vegetable shortening,
7 pounds of flour, a pound of april
cots, pound of prunes, pounds
OF chocolate, pound of coffee, a
half-pound of dried egg powder,
2 pounds of dried whole milk, and
6 ounces OF soap.
A message was read from former
President Hoover just back from
a food survey for President Truman.
Mr.. Hoover made the estimate that
one CARE package could last a per-
son three weeks, when local rations
were counted in. He described the
package as lone sure and efficient
way to send food" abroad to individ-
uals.
Mr.. Dodd observed that in CARE
package is wrapped almost the only
hope of the ordinary family in Eu-
rope of rising, momentarily at least,
above the bare subsistence level of
nutrition"

non-profit organization can be had
