SHORT IRONS.
q THROUGH S

In almost every shot it is pos
sible for the golfer to have what
is known as mental hazards. Nc
matter the lie, there Is always
something that goes on in the
golfers. mind that sets Up haz-
ard long before the downswing
has been executed. Today 7 want
to take you through the short
irons which run from No. 9 thru
No. 5.
Use the same grip on every
other shot as used in the chip
shot. In addressing the ball be
certain it is at a point slightly
back of center of feet, yet with.
in a parallel line of your right
heel Be sure to get the line of
direction To- your target from
where the ball is. Take proper
stance with right heel placed on
right angles with the ball and
PROPOSED line of direction. Having
a firm mental picture of this line
of direction is absolutely neces-
.sary as you address the ball AT
ter direction is fixed in your
mind the hands should be pushed
forward about six inches. so that
the end of shaft is pointing in a
line just indie the left leg. This
should open the face
of club without altering your
stance.
Keep that line of direction
firmly fixed as when ball was
first addressed. This slightly for
ward press of the hands should
throw enough weight forward to
compensate for the amount OF
weight produced by placing club
head back of ball.
In other words, there are two
reasons for this: First make sure
the weight of body is evenly dis
rtributed on both feet. Second, to
make sure ball is hit properly in
doWnswing. If this stance is
maintained properly with bah
slightly before it reaches the low
est point in the downswing. This
action, at the impact with club
head slightly open, produces the
required baekspin.

 The state department ruling in effect told IS iron curtain visitors to go home, now that they have completed their mission to last week-end's cultural and scientific conference for world peace in New York City.

Aleutians Again Have Mail Boat

SEATTLE, (P)-A government mail contract to serve UnalaSka and Aleutian outposts has been granted to the Berger Transporta- ton company, of Seattle, J. Lael Simmons, secretary of the firm said yesterday.
 This will provide the area with regular freight and passenger service, which it has been without since a previous mail contract was terminated in December, 1947.
 A. D. Lawrence, general super intendent of railway mail service, said the new contract will expire June 30, 1850. And calls for pay ment of approximately $156,OO0 a year.
 Mail service to the area from Seward, has been supplied by air plane since the previous mail boat run was suspended. Residents have complained of shortages of supplies and lack of passenger service due to absence of a regular vessel on the run.
 The motorship Garland is being overhauled at Lake Union dry dock. Simmons said the company hopes to start the service by April 20, although the contract current ly provides for May 1 opening.

Johnson Protests Budget Slash For Alaska Railroad

ANCHORAGE, (P) - General John P. Johnson declared last night the Alaska Railroad rehabil- itation program will be knocked into a cooked hat" if the proposed $8,000,000 slash in appropriations recommended in Congress is all lowed to stand.
 He said the appropriation cut would eliminate many vital i'm proVements on the line.
 Half a railroad is better than none, though" Johnson said, as he tried to determine what projects must be eliminated if recommen- dations of the interior committee are accepted.
 First indications were that there would be insufficient funds to complete laying of new rail and ballasting of right of way.
 We have 200 miles of new track ties with ballasting com pleted We were planning to call for bids for 218 additional miles to complete the main line. The proposed cut makes it impossible" Johnson said.
 Other construction projects in jeopardy by the proposed cuts, he said, would be:
 1. Construction of a power plant at Anchorage to serve as a central heating and power generating fla cility. A contract has been award ed for moving steam and diesel generators, boilers and other ma chinery to Anchorage from Carls- bad, N. M., much of it on it's way.

Gigantic COsnic Ray Machine Dedicated
(BY Howard w. Blakeslee)
 ((P) Science Editor)

ROCHESTER, N. Y. (P)-One of two machines in the world that produces man-made cosmic rays, the University of ROcheSter'S giant cyclotron, was dedicated yester- day.
 The machine is essentially an enormous magnet, as high and wide as a dwelling house.
 It is a mass of steel weighing HOO tons. It is painted red except the two poles of the magnet, which are shining steel. The horizontal poles are round and their ends flat. Each is the size of a big din- ing room table. In the gap between them is space enough to sit on one pole without pumping your head on the other.
 In this gap energies of 250,000,- 900 electron-VoltS are created. In the gay heavy particles of matter called protons swing round and round at velocities near the speed of light.
 The speeding particles are let fly, like stones from a sling, and when one of these particles hits a bit of solid matter it knocks loose a particle called a meson.
 Exactly what meson is scien- lists do not know. But both the 250, ,000, ,000-vote protons and the mesons are the same particles which rain down upon the earth from an unknown source in the sky and are called cosmic rays.
 The worlds other known meson- making machine is at the UniverS- ity of California. The Rochester machine was built with funds of the United States atomic energy commission, the office of naval re- search and the university.
