Louise Suggs' 6-5hot
Lead Looks Big Even
To the Mighty Babe

Can Mrs. Babe ZahariaS spot
Louise Suggs six strokes in SO
holes?
That's the question asked today
at Prince Georges as the $500
Women's National Open cham
pionship entered the third round
with "The Babe" trailing the
methodical Georgian with "a and
rs for $50 to Miss Suggs' 60
75-144.
With two rounds to 60 the two
leading professionals appear to
have the show to themselves. Carol
Diringer of Tiffin, Ohio, is a stroke
behind "The Babe" with 75-76-151
but the 22-year-old Toledo Dis
trict champion never has matched
the pros pace for the full 72 holes.
Beverly Hanson, who scared
from 72 to 81 for 153 and Marlene
Bauer, the serious little 15-year-
old from California, who had 75-
1878. are nine strokes behind
Miss Suggs and playing good golf
but not the kind to pick up nine
strokes in two rounds. Helen Siga,
who tied Miss Suggs for the best
score Of the second round, a rs,
is at 154 and like almost everybody
else appears too far back.
Babe Matches '48 Pace.
"The Babe" is matching her
winning pace of last year in this
tournament with even 75s (she
won with 800 in Atlantic City in
1948) but the way Miss Suggs is
hitting the ball and with her new
putting confidence, even IS golf
never will catch her in this tour
nament. Prince Georges is playing
fairly easy for the ladies, and
although it will be stretched out
bit today and tomorrow, Miss
Suggs is no weakling off the tee
She hits them not far behind Mrs.
Zaharias.
Louise encountered puddles of
water on the second green yester-
day and three-putted, and that
was after she objected to even
starting the round because the
course was too wet. But that
didn't disturb her and she played
steady golf in the high winds and
over the soggy layout. She made
her first long putt of the tourna-
ment on the 18th hole when she
dropped 35-footer for a birdie.
"The Babe" took a penalty. later
verified by the Rules Committee,
when the ball moved as she ad-
dressed it on the fourth green, SO
she hit the ball only rs times in
shooting rs. That gave her a
nasty seven on the fourth and
nullified a birdie-birdie start on
the first two holes.
d. C. Women Far in Ruck.
One Of the big surprises Of the
tournament is the complete COL
lapse of two Of the former win
ners. Record Holder Betty jane
son added an 86 to 10 for 1876.
while Patty Berg scared to "a
from 73 for 157. They will be in
the money, but only because there
are 10 prizes for the 10 pros.
Another unaccountable wave Of
high scoring finds all the local
players hopelessly out of the run
ming, with not one of them break
ing IS in either round.

Farming Success
In the South
BY James P. Davis

LITTLE ROCK, July 20. (ANP)
The part the Triple A has played
in aiding Negro farmers in the
south to achieve some measure OF
success in their work is we'll dem
onstrated by the activities of four
such farmers in Texas and West
Virginia.
Lawler Bowley, a farmer near
Huntsville, Texas, had been work
ing his 21O acre farm for many
years. His son, Markum, took
e when his father became too
old to work. Markum decided to
work up a crop of Austrian win
ter peas, and applied to the AAA
for and received sc sacks of phOs-
phate in 1916 to apply to his pas
ture. He again secured phosphate
in 1947 and in the fal lof 1913,
received 20 sacks Of phosphate
to go under his 800 pounds OF
Austrian field peas. In addition,
Markum finished a $50 cubic
yard dam in his pasture with AAA
aid.
From Caldwell county, Texas,
three colored producers made ap-
plication for stockwater tanks.

Baby Rescued
Alive from Grave

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 20.
(ANP)-A newly born baby, bur-
led alive by her mother, died here
July 11-just n and a half days
after she had been rescued alive
from a 15-hour stay in an earthen
tomb.
The child was born to Miss Ida
Roberts, 20, and was discovered
in the grave by Mrs. Lizzie Hurn,
landlady of Miss Roberts. Upon
removal from the grave and ex-
animation by the county health
officer, the infant was found to
be alive and in a satisfactory
condition" The health officer said
that only a miracle could have
kept the baby alive in the grave.
The young woman gave birth to
the child unattended, then dug a
hole and buried it. She said she
already had one child and could
not support another. She is being
held ina hospital on suspicion while
a grand jury investigates the case.
The woman said the baby was
born late Friday while she was
"hoeing peanuts" and that after
burial, she continued her work.

Article Praises
Amherst Frat. for
Admitting Negro

The stand taken. by alumni and
undergraduate members OF AM
herst colleges chapter of the ma
tional Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
in sticking to their decision to
admit Tom Gibbs, a Negro, to
membership, is hailed by Alfred
S. Romer, an alumnus Of the chap
ter. in the Dealers Digest for
August. The article is condensed
from the Atlantic Monthly.
. The Amherst chapters decision
to take in Gibbs, despite bitter OPP
position on the part Of the frater-
nity's national executive council
and others, resulted in the chap
ter's expulsion from the national
organization. The name of Phi
Kappa Psi has disappeared from
the Amherst campus. Reorganized
as Phi Alpha Psi, the house con-
tinues, Romer says, with the re-
: spect and admiration of the col
lege community"
Of Tom Gibbs, the author notes
that he was "a modest, friendly,
likeable boy, a naturally popular
one. and n of the first members
Of his class to be admitted to the
student council. The boys of the
chapter were not professional lib
erals, campaigning for social
equality. They liked Tom and
wanted him to be one OF them
selves. It was as simple at that"
Also, the article points out, the
chapters action was in line with
the college trustees stated belief
that "any man good enough to be
admitted to Amherst college
should be good enough to be adj
mitted to it's component social
groups"
In conclusion, the author admits
to "a warm feeling in my heart
that in this torn world there exist
educational institutions with high
ideals and young men with princi'
pies and the strength to defend
them. I salute Amherst college anc
my brothers in Phi Alpha Psi

action"

HELLO, SUCKER

Not only is it slightly illegal, but it is more than slightly silly to waste you money trying to win a prize in international sweepstakes lottery Even when these affairs run honestly, the chances Of winning about million to one against the player, and beyond this many of the lotteries are pure fakes The Associated Press reports, for example that New York man who tsic) Sl00000 in Mexican sweep stakes last December 26 has not yet been paid, and there is little likelihood that he ever will get his money
 As matter of fact, there were 32 winners in the New York in this particularly lottery and none of them has been paid But despite the widespread publicity given this swndle tickets being distributed in New York for another Mexican sweep stakes-this based the Kentucky Derby-and we have doubt they selling like hot cakes.

BEST SELLER BEHIND IRON CURTAIN

The American embassies in Hun gary, Run-ania and Bulgaria have cabled the State Department for large shipments of a book that may become a best seller behind the Iron Curtain-the Sears, Roe buck catalogue.
 In Prague, Czechoslovakia, a crowd two blocks long formed out side the American International Library the ether day to look at pictures of goods you could buy in America. Hundreds tried to place orders for these goods, before the Czech security police broke up the crowd
 American embassies in other Iron Curtain countries now want more nlail-order house catalogues to show what capitalism means compared with Communism.
 The incident is important for two reasons: l, It shows how eager the people of Iron Curtain coun- tries are to do business with the United States: 2, It shows how the State Department has neglected some of the simplest devices to sell American capitalism in countries where it counts most.
 For instance. the idea of dis trIbuting Sears, Roebuck catalogues behind the Iron Curtain was first proposed by Morris Ernst, New

faced with erosion, due to over- grazing and the range had to be Eoliced carefully. Otherwise cattle men grazed too many head per acre on land that belonged not to them but to all the taxpayers.
 Barrett vigorously dissented. After @ series Of public hearings, he and nine Public Lands colleagues sent protest to former Agriculture Secretary Clinton Anderson, de- manding the limitation of grazing Le banned for three years. Ander- son wouldn't hear of it and the Forest Service continued it's far sighted policy oi curtailing over grazing.
 This year the Forest Service is under Congressional fire from the Democrats for the opposite reason
 mot cracking down hard enough on oyergrazing.
 However, one essential in the pre- yention of oyergrazing is enough rangers to police the national for ests. Cattlemen can go for months with twice the allotted number Of head per acre on the range, unless enough forest rangers are on hand to police them. And without both- cring to question the Forest Ser vice on this phase of its work, the House Appropriations Committee arbitrarily clipped its funds for Fcrest Service hy $1,518,500, charg- ing:
 The Forest Service has full au- thority to fix the number of graz ing permits but in many cases has not exercised it to the point to prevent depreciation"
 Note--If this committee cut is approved by Congress, the S1,5l8,- eco slash will cost the taxpayers tens ol millions in erosion losses i'll future years.
