Thrilling Win Makes
Mrs. Porter Choice
In Women S Golf
By the Associated Press

ARDMORE, Pa, Sept. 15.-A
local lady has a pretty fair chance
of making good in the 49th an
nual United States Women's Am
ateur golf championship.
The title being contested over
the rolling east course of the
Merton Golf Club went into the
quarter-final round today with
Philadelphia's Dorothy German
Porter a prime favorite.
The comely Mrs. Porter-twice
a Western Amateur champion
won one of tournament history's
most thrilling matches yesterday
as she outlasted the veteran cam
paigner, Mrs. Julius A. Page OF
Greensboro, N. c., l up in 81
holes.
There was never more than
one-hole lead difference between
the two smiling, always good
natured competitors. And a spec
tator probably did the best job
of summing up Mrs. Porters
thrilling victory.
After Mrs. Page had what
would have been winning puts
roll in and out of the cup on the
first two extra holes, smartly
dressed old gent offered this very
old but some times very wise OBJ
servation:
when she misses them like
that it just isn't in the cards for
Mrs. Page to win. Mrs. Porter
will take this match"
Mrs. Porter drove to the green
on the 175-yard third hole, her
ball landing feet from the cup
Mrs. Page hooked into a trap
came out to the fringe of the green
overshot the pin, missed a putt
- and conceded Mrs. Porter bird
and the match.
Mrs. Porter meets local COM
petitor today in Janet Brown
19-year-old University of Michigan
student who makes her home in
Philadelphia. She fought her way
into the quarter-finalS by ousting
Mrs. Sophie Untermeyer, White
Plains, N. Y, l up.
The leading obstacle in the path
of Mrs. Porter's local coup, is pert
Marlene Bauer, 15-year-old Los
Angeles girl. Marlene shot the
four-day-old tournaments best
round and still just edged Mar
garet Gunther, Memphis, Tenn,
up.
Miss Marlene, United States
Junior girls queen, fired a 3-over-
par "a over the 6,135-yard layout.
She went out in 40 and came home
with a magnificent 2-under-par
"a. Miss Gunther, who eliminated
Marlene last year at Pebble Beach,
was almost as good.

FEC Plans 10 Conduct
Color TeIevision Tests
Here in November
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Communications
Commission decided today to go
ahead with comparative demon
strations of color television sys-
tens here next month.
It denied a petition from Radio
Corp. of America for a postpone
ment.
The demonstrations are set for
the week of November IA. They
involve rival color plans spon-
sored by RCA and Columbia
Broadcasting System.
RCA had requested a two-month
delay in order to make further
tests of its color apparatus. It
also argued that a delay until
January would enable Color Tele-
vision, Inc. of San Francisco,
sponsoring a third system, to take
part in the comparisons.
CHS has demanded that the
November II comparison be held
as scheduled.
The FEC said the RCA motion
was denied in order to speed a
final decision on whether color
broadcasting should be authorized
now.
The commission also revised its
hearing schedule on the question.
It cancelled its proposed trip to
San Francisco November 20 to
view the Color Television, Inc.
system there.
The coast firm was directed to
demonstrate. its system in Wash
ington on February 6. The COM
mission said it will have a COM
parative demonstration of all
three systems here on February 8.
The taking of testimony at
present hearings will 60 forward
for another two weeks. The hear
ings will then be recessed until

good, he is not on a diet, he is
able to tolerate alcoholic bever-

not be jeopardized by doing so."

have DR.. White put on the wit

New AIger Hiss Trial
Scheduled Tuesday,
May Be Put Off Again
By kewboId Moves, Jr.

The long-delayed second Alger
Hiss trial may be postponed again.
Originally scheduled for Oc-
tober 10 in New York the trial
Of the former State Department
official was postponed on that
date until next Tuesday. Now
Mr.. Hiss new attorney, Claude B.
Cross Of Boston. is seeking a fur
ther continuance Of the proceed
ings until November %.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas F. Murphy, who pro-
secuted Mr.. Hiss in his first
perjury trial. told The Star by
telephone today he will oppose
additional delay when the de-
fense motion for postponement is
heard Monday by Federal Judge
William Bondy in New York.
Took Over Case Oct. 4.
He said 1t is likely, however,
that some additional time will be
granted Tor preparation by the
defense. Mr.. Cross took over the
case October 4 from Lloyd Paul
Styker, Mr.. Hiss attorney in the
first trial.
That trial ended in a hung
jury on May 8. Mr.. Hiss Is accused
Of lying to a Federal grand jury
last year, when he denied he ever
gave secret State Department
documents to Whitaker Cham
bers for transmission to Russian
agents and said he had not seen
the former Time Magazine editor
since 1886. Mr.. Chambers is Mr..
Hiss principal accuser.
Mr.. Cross had asked for a two
month postponement of the sec
ond trial on October 10. explain
ing he needed time to study the
voluminous transcript of the first
trial. Judge Vincent L. Leibell,
however, cut that initial request to
three weeks. saying a further de-
lay could be considered later If
necessary.
Change Of Venue Denied.
In the october proceedings, the
defense also sought a change Of
venue in the case. Mr. Hiss con-
tended he could not get a fair
trial In New York, and asked that
the scene Of the trial be shifted
to Rutland, VT. That motion was
denied by Judge Alfred c. Coke.
The judge for the second trial
still has not been assigned. Spec
ulation has centered recently on
the probability that the job will
go either to Judge Sylvester Ryan
or Judge Henry w. Goddard.
Judge Samuel H. Kaufman, who
presided at the first trial, was
criticized in Congress and else
where for his handling of the
case. He was accused Of showing
bias in favor of Mr.. Hiss. The
jury voted 8 to 4 for conviction.
