North and South 0pen
Starts Again Today
After Delay Of Rain
By the Associated Press

PINEHURST, N. c., Nov. o.
Set back "a hours by the weather.
the 47th North and South open
golf tournament got off to fresh
start today.
Its 36-hole windup now shifted
to Friday. the 72-hole, $500
highlight of this resort villages
fall season began anew today what
was washed out yesterday.
1t was all rather embarrassing
to Pinehurst officialdom, whose
principal commodity is sunshine
and good golfing weather. Here
in the self-proclaimed winter
golf capital" rain has forced post
ponement of play two successive
years.
Cloudburst Ends 1t.
About half of the 112-man field
was on the No. 2 championship
course a sorbing a thorough
drenching when a midday cloud
burst finally forced the calling off
OF further play. With the wind
and the rain in their hair, the
unfortunates who were struggling
manfully to negotiate the $685.
yard distance were having all sorts
of trouble. Scores ranged from par
36 to we'll in the 40s for the front
nine.
Despite the downpour the course
should be in top shape, barring
additional rain today. The Pine
hurst sand has an amazing capa-
city for absorbing moisture.
Champ Not Favored.
Defending ampion Toney
Penna wasn's figured to repeat,
but then he didn't figure to win
last year, either.
There was strong support for
Professional Cary Middlecoff, the
National open Champion, who
won here four years ago as an
amateur. the only time a non-pro
has ever won the event.
Sam Snead. Clayton Heafner
Johnny Palmer and Claude Har-
mon all had support. while the old
guard was hoping for good show
lngs by such favored greats as
Gene Sarazan, Tommy Armour,
Horton Smith. Denny Shute and
Johnny Farrell.
Amateurs rated a chance to up-
set the money boys included Frank
Stranahan. Dick Chapman, Julius
Boros. skee Riegel and Johnny
McHale.

winning top money Of $4,000 in
the Star Open he was second
to Middlecoff at Reading, won
the Dapper Dan in Pittsburgh.
won the Western Open and was
runnerup to Lloyd Mangrum in
the Tam and to Johnny Palmer
and Jimmy Demaret, who tied,
in the Worlds playoff.
Snead had quite a decision
to make in the early summer.
All the tournaments wanted
him, needed him desperately
in fact. and his home club at
White Sulphur Springs had
first call. But Sam and his
bosses worked out a leave of
absence and he played the cir
cult.
He handled himself nicely in
Chicago after another of his
famous National Open blow
ups. He didn't go on any TRADE,
and time and again has said
he's used the same club again
off the edge of the list green.
where he took the stroke that
cost a tie. AS a player, he's
the man of the year.
Middlecoff, who was not elig-
ible for the PGA. had quite a
year, but it wasn't quite as good
as Snead,s. Cary easily could
be top man next year and for
many to come.
The amateur ranks produced
a new champion in Charley
Coe, but the slim Oklahoman
intends to stick pretty close to
business, as in the past. Frank
Stranahan had his poorest year
since he became a star and Skee
Riegel lost most of his titles.
The Americans didn't win the
British Amateur, for a change.
New Women's Champ.
The new women's golf cham
pion, Mrs. Dorothy German
Porter, also played in compara-
lively few tournaments and
does not intend to allow the
game to interfere with her
family life. Louise Suggs was
the undisputed champion of
the women pro golfers. her
smashing triumph in the Wom-
ems National Open here assur-
ing her of the honors. but, as
she freely admitted, she is the
colorless type.
Among the gals it was little
Miss Bauer who had the golf
fans pulling for her all the way.
She didn't have much compe-
tition in winning the USGA
junior title. but in September
she went to the semifinals of
the Women's National Amateur.
She beat Babe Zaharias the
hard way, in 81 holes, in the
Women's Hardscrapple tourna-
ment in Texas and was runner
up in another open event.
With everybody pestering
her, the timid youngster was
half scared to death, and her
golf swing is so exaggerated on
the backswing everybody was
picking it to pieces. But she
still beat almost everybody but
Miss Suggs before the season
was over. She deserves a hand.
Evening star., 1949-11-02

This vote goes to Samuel
Jackson Snead.
After all, Slammin' Sam is
the Masters champ, won the
PGA and will be the years
leading money winner, regard
less of who wins what from
here until December 81. He
was runner-up in the National
Open. won the Western, a div
1dend tournament. and. in the
richest carnival, he was sec
ond in both big money events
at the Tam O. Shanter. How
can you like anybody else?
Cary Middlecoff. who brought
q certain freshness to the Ma
tional Open title and has been
Snead's greatest rival, gets a
second-place vote here, and for
third it's 15-year-old Marlene
Bauer. the trim and quiet little
blond from California.
Cary Was Favorite.
Snead spotted Middlecof
two f1rsts and two seconds be-
fore Sam made his move. Cary
had been the fellow with the
hot hand on the winter tour
and was the favorite going into
the Masters. He started poorly
in the Masters, but so did
Snead, with 73 and rs for the
first two rounds.
Then Sam found his putting
touch and, on the last hole, one
of the biggest and most demon
strative gallery in the history
of the Masters, brought"
Sammy home, winner by three
strokes.
Snead won his second major
title of the season at Richmond.
where, before an extremely
partial gallery, he annexed the
PGA championship with a solid
week of brilliant golf. His
closest call was against Dave
Douglas, whom he defeated in
the third round after being
three down and eight to play.
After a questionable club
selection cost him the National
Open title, or at least a tie
for it, Sam took a couple of
weeks of then hit another
brilliant streak. starting here

The 1LO study urges that gov
ernmentS employers and unions
concentrate their combined efforts
to reduce costs in the construction
industries through sterilization of
output.
l. Governments should continue
cheap money policies and should
seek to maintain low interest rates
particularly on mortgages.
2. Public works reserves from
which projects can be drawn as
needed to offset fluctuations in
private investment should be built
up.
8. A high degree of labor mo-
bility is required.
4. The present high demand for
housing should be used in order
to perfect planning for any future
decline.
3. Governments might substitute
certain types of private invest
ment and provide housing subsi-
dies to those whose income is con-
sideredto be inadequate.
6. Output stability could be at
tanned in part if governments used
their powers to condemn substan-
dard dwelling and to promote
house-building.
Z. State or local government pro
grams should be coordinated with
those of national governments.
8. If forecasts are to be made
in time to start public works when
they are needed, improvements
will be necessary in statistical an
alyses and collection.

AT the same time, a similar
housing boom was going on all
over the world. Statistics made
public here by the international
Labor Organization (LO) show
that cost have advanced.
Those high cost figures, which
really reflect the trouble that
millions of ordinary citizens have
in finding moderate-priced hous-
ing, have brought forth a warn
ing from ILO against a repetition
Of the housing boom which
brought disastrous results after
World War 1.
In a study of employment in
stability in the world construc-
ton industries, now being con-
sidered by the second session of
Hos Building Civil Engineering
and Public Works Committee
meeting in Rome, ILO asserts that
one of the first aims Of govern
ments should be to stabilize the
industry which has fluctuated SO
extravagantly in the past.
Pointing out the necessity of
establishing the construction in
dustrY. the report stresses the
following points:
In the United States alone $500.
600 workers and their families de-
pend on the building industry for
their livelihood.
In 20 other countries. from five
to 10 percent Of the population
are employed in construction.
Since no other industry scars
