FAIR PLAY
ON the FA|RWAY
by Sam Snead
PEA. CHAMPION, ls4s
WIDE WORLD

DEAR MR.. SNEAD: You've
been successful as a profession
al golfer for many years. Can
you give Americas 1000, 600
other golfers some advice on
how to behave on the course?
ANSWER: First of all, golf is a
sport, and it ought to be enjoyed.
That applies equally to the par
breaker, the spectator and the
Sunday player who never breaks
100. So don't rush or try to hurry
others. No one likes to hear some
fellow back down the fairway
yell fore" when the course is
crowded.
On the other hand, slow groups
shouldn't hog the fairway, either.
If a faster group follows your
match, let them play through.
A persons character becomes
very evident by the way he be-
haves on the golf course. Around
Evening star., 1949-07-03

every club there are certain men
no one will play with if it can be
avoided because they are too quick
to lose their tempers. These hot
heads spoil the game for everyone
concerned.
Be sure you know the rules of
the game - such as not taking
practice swings near your ball
when it's in the rough and not
heeling your club in a sand trap.
And make point of learning the
special rules of the course you play
on.
STAY with the people in your
match and don't get ahead of your
fellow golfers before they've made
their shots.
There are other people to think
of besides those playing the game.
The caddie, for instance. He has a
tough job - and you can make
it much worse by being unreason-
able. Too many golfers blow up
at caddies who can t find q ball
that's gone out-of-bounds or
into the woods. Then there are
the greenkeepers. They have a
full-time job keeping the course in
condition without having to spend
time picking up candy wrappers
and score cards after you.
OF course, everyone knows he
should replace his divots. smooth
sand in the traps and be quiet
when another player is taking a
swing.
AND being quiet applies espe-
cially to spectators at a tourna-
ment. Give the players oppor-
tunity to concentrate on the game.
Don't start wandering off toward
the next hole to get choice spot
along the fairway before every
golfer has finished his putting.
That can be just as distracting to
the player as crowding too close.
Golf is very popular sport and
as with anything else, the keynote
of good manners on the course is
courtesy. Be considerate of others.
They want to enjoy the game, too.

feeling at polling places was almost
100 percent against calling off the
strike on the terms proposed by
the Soviet administration.
The railroad company had offered
to pay West Berlin workers 60
percent of their wages in West

times as much as Soviet occupa-

PRESIDENT
GIVES OUT
HIS VIEWS
Entire Program Is Must
for Congress : Talks
on Many Subjects
By D. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, June III
President Truman repeated today
that any must" list for Congress
should include his whole program.
He also told a news conference
he will stay in Washington without
any extended vacation as long as
Congress remains in session and
perhaps longer.
He said the idea of a train trip
across the country to take the
issues to the people is on the shelf
now, for use if necessary. He once
talked of such a tour.
The President, in response to
questions, agreed such trip might
not be necessary It is definitely
not in the works for october or
November, he told another ques-
toner.
How about next year? He smiled
and said next year will take care
OF itself.
Asked if he and party leaders
have added any more "musts' to
the legislative agenda, the Presi-
dent replied the must list includes
the recommendation in his three
main messages-on the state OF
the union, the budget and eco
nomics.
When a reporter said Congress
is showing no sign of carrying out
most Of his program, the President
Is dmonished that no such conclu-
sion can be reached until Congress
has finished its work
On other questions the President
said he:
Opposes any Export-Import Bank
loan to Spain for purchase OF
American cotton and tobacco.
Has several women under con-
sideration for diplomatic posts Gu:
is not ready to make any choices.
Supposes the question whether
Curtis Calder, utilities executive,
will be named Secretary of the
Army is still open.
Will decline when the question
reaches him whether to accept or
reject any compromise bill on state
OF federal control of tidelands
House Speaker Rayburn has been
working on such proposal.
Will be unable to attend the
Democratic partys farm conference
at Dies Moines June 1918.
Would not comment on Britain's
release of Gerhart Eisler.

VETO issue
B0G5D0WN
ON BERLIN
Russia Still Insistent on
Demand for Settlement
Of Big Problem
tBy Associated Press

Settlement of the Berlin prob
lem is begged down over Russia S
insistence that the veto be part OF
any future Four-PoWer administra-
tive policy. The Western Powers
and Russia split yesterday in the
Foreign Ministers conference at
Paris. The Western Powers pro-
posed that the veto power te
limited. Russia's Andrei Vishinsky
said no. However, Vishinsky limited
that the Russians might agree to
trim the area of authority OF the
kommandatura (Allied governing
body for Berlin).
French sources said Vishinsky
agreed that the Kommandatura' S
function might be re-examined.
His statement was interpreted to
mean that some authority might
be withdrawn from the Kommanda-
tura and delegated to local Ger
man administration. This avenue
of approach will not be explored
in the hope of reaching Four
Power agreement.
The Russian press dashed at
American insistence that the veto
be curtailed. A Tass dispatch on
the Four-Power conference SAID
the U. S. delegation would accept
only a set-up lin which the de-
cisive word will belong to Che West
ern Powers who hold the majority
