Feots Of Houghton Recalled
As MARYLAND Open Boon1s
By MerreII WhittIesey

A golf tournament that for
almost 30 years has carried this
sections most important title
the Maryland Open champion
ships coming up Tuesday at
Chevy Chase, a fact that has not
escaped the attention of the Mid
die Atlantic sections star shot
makers.
Whether it's the title, the prize
money, the fact that there hasn't
been too much tournament golf
here this year, or just that it
means SO holes over the luxurious
underfooting of Chevy Chase,
the Old Line State Open figures
to draw its greatest number OF
entries.
They say that Witty Cox
actually has been seen on the
practice tee at Congressional,
that Bobby Browneu may cast
aside his retirement cloak, and
that every able-bodied pro, and
all available amateurs with han
dicaps of seven of less have sent
their entries to Baltimore. The
deadline, incidentally. is tomor-
row noon as pairings will be made
at an Executive Committee meet
ing tomorrow night at Chevy
Chase.
The prospect of a record entry,
however, does not frighten the
Maryland Opens most frequent
winner-Al Houghton-who won
the title four times, lost in a
playoff in a year he actually
turned in the lowest score, and
was second on three other occa-
sions.
If there's a tournament IA
vorite, it must be Houghton, and
that's simply because he's playing
the best golf of anybody in town.
He may tire little on that last
nine and that's where the boys
may catch him. He's best over
the shorter distances OF late.
After all Houghton wasn't any
teen-ager when he won the title
16 years ago at Columbia, the
year George Diffenbaugh shot a
67 in the first round and then
lost to Houghton's fast finish as
they played side by side down the
stretch.
The next year Houghton
watched Ralph Beach shoot prob
ably the greatest round in the
history of the tournament, an
afternoon IS at Five Farms, to
create a tie for the title-but
Houghton won the playoff.
Houghton's third straight State
Open triumph-in 1934-Was one
of his most sensational and most
unexpected triumphS. The tour
nament fell the day following the
Houghton promoted National
Capital Open at KenWood and the
defending champion was mighty
tired and in addition had gone
to bed sick man the night be-
fore the tournament.
AL struggled out of bed and de-
cided to put in an appearance as
defending champion, play nine
holes and quit. He hit good
drive on the first hole but almost
blacked out while swinging at
his second shot and knocked the
ball only a few feet. He made a
pass at the next shot, hit it on
the green and in lackadaisical
manner, knocked in a 20-footcr
for a par.
Bang, a 40-footer for a birdie
on the second hole, a 30-footer

cause the field was too small for

was equipped with four Jato units,

two units were used in the Green
up experiment, but officers here said
the heavier power was needed for
the Greenland rescue because of
the higher altitude of the icecap.
At Wright-Patterson Field the

In order to resolve certain legal
questions as to the power of the
administrator, the Department of
Commerce requested enactment by
the Eightieth Congress of clarifying
legislation. No action was taken
on that proposal.
However, the Department Of
Justice now has advised that the
administrator has ample statutory
authority to issue this regulation
without new legislation"
Procedure Outlined.
Richard E. Elwell, general counsel
for the CAA, said violations OF CAA
regulations at the airport are mis-
demeanors and prosecution is han
died by the United States Attorney
at Alexandria.
He described this chain of events
as probable in the event of q COM
plant by a colored person that he
was denied service. The individual
would complain to the airport ad-
ministrator who would forward a
memorandum Of the complaint to
CAA which, in turn. would refer it
to the Justice Department or to the

Jurisdiction Issue.
Mr.. Medley said today that Vir-

there, prohibiting the sale Of liquor.
Virginia also has the right to serve
processes, such as warrants. sum-
monses and subpoenas, at the air
port. e.
Mr.. Elwell said Section 2 Of the
National Airport Act authorizes the
issuance of regulations, violation OF
which Is misdemeanor. He said
there are two cases in the District
Court at Alexandria involving seq

that these we're brought by individ-

Board Of Correction Plans
To Expand Use Industries
by the Assosiofsd Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. ga plan
to expand the State use industries
program and provide jobs for every
State penitentiary and house of
correction inmate capable of work.
ing was announced yesterday by
the State Board of Correction.
In a report to Gov. Lane, Board
Chairman Reuben Oppenheimer said
the program would increase en-
ployment in State use industries to
more than 1000 and put to work
about 300 men now idle.
Mr.. Oppenheimer added the en-.
larged program would raise the an
nual volume Of business from ITS
present level of between 5000 900
and $1,0O0,000 to between $780,.
600 and 100000.
The board proposes to use about
100000 of the existing reserves Of
State use industries funds to pay
for machinery and equipment for
the expansion. The report said this
expenditure would virtually exhaust
the reserves.
In addition to the expansion Of
the State use industries program,
the Board of Correction plans to
develop educational and vocational
programs at both the penitentiary
and the House of Correction.
