Big Producers Have Boards Ear

The Munitions Board also per-
mitted the nations wool supply
to dwindle so low that the Army
is short of wool to clothe its troops
for the severe Korean winter AS a
result, the government is now
frantically bidding for wool on the
Australian market. The irony is
that the Agriculture Department
had plenty of wool last year but
couldn't get the Munitions Board
to take it over for stockpiling.
Anxious not to get caught short
Of cotton, for uniforms, the Ag-
riculture Department asked the Mu-
nitions Board in August what its
needs would be.
No answer was received for more
than 80 days, then a note came
back from the Munitions Board,
advising that the man in charge
of the cotton problem was out Of
town. Desperately, the Agriculture
Department made its own estimate
by going over the Boards head
and getting figures direct from the
armed services.
One trouble with the Munitions
Board is that it listens to the big
producers, which want to use raw
materials in normal civilian pro-
| duction, and not have them stock
piled for emergencies instead. Fol
example, the Munitions Board has
been lulled by the giant Aluminium
Company Of America and, as re-
/ suit, has done virtually nothing
about stockpiling precious alumni
UNI. Yet in case of total war, go
percent of our aluminium output
would be used up by the military,
leaving civilians almost none
! One reason for the Boards in
efficiency is that it has inherited
too many castaways from the three
military services When the Board
called upon the armed forces for
: personnel, it didn't get any top men.

coal company executive didn't set

Iowa Ready to Bid High
To Obtain Right Man

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Jan. 80 (P.-
A hunt was on today for success
sor to DR.. Eddie Anderson.
The preliminary task of draft
ing a list of eligibles was in the
hands of a f1ve-man committee
composed of members of the uni
versity's Athletic Board.
The committee held its first
meeting yesterday at the Cedar
Rapids home Of DIR. Wayne Foster,
an alumni member of the board.
DR.. Paul Brechler, Iowa athletic
director, said the committee will
make up q list of candidates
from what we know and recon-
mendations from I-Club organi-
cations, the Western Conference
commissioner and other athletic
officials.
DR.. Brechler said the prospec-
tive names would be sifted to the
five or six best men"
Anderson, whose $12,500-a-year
contract had year to run, re-
signed because full professional
ranking to guarantee tenure was
not included in proposed new
contract. The university could
not meet the demand because OF
State Board of Education rule
against faculty rating for
coaches. -,
Brechler said Iowa would "go
anywhere in the country to find
the right man."
Discussing what salary Iowa
would be willing to pay, the
athletic director said I'VE will pay
whatever we think the man is
worth. I believe the salary Eddie
received was among the top five
in the conference" and added:
mo use being skinny about it;
we will pay coach right up with
the best schools in the country"
Anderson's resignation sur
prised Iowa officials. They had
believed until last Thursday that
negotiations were progressing IA
vorably.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. So
Jimmy Demaret, with his rainbow
wardrobe and the pot of gold he
won in the $4,000 Ben Hogan
Open, leads the golfing clan to
Tucson this week.
Jaunty Jimmy, who yesterday
beat out Sam Snead by a stroke
to win with a 15-under-par 269
for the 72-hole grind, could be ex-
cused for hoping he doesn't en-
counter any more cornstalks.
Two almost cost him the first
tournament victory since he beat
Ben Hogan In a playoff here last
year.
AS he came to the 18th and
final tee, with the rain that fell
all day still coming down, the pro
from Ojai, Calf, knew he needed
a par five to win. Sam had finished
by missing an 8-foot putt and
taking a 270 after a sc for the
round.
Poor Tourney for Hogan.
Demaret's drive came to rest a
foot from cornstalk used to pro-
tect young trees. His second wound
up under one of the wrappings rs
yards from the green. After a
quick rule Interpretation the stalks
were cut away without moving
the ball. The Ojai fashion plate
hit to the green and sank his
second putt. Although some by
standing pros argues Demaret
should have been penalized a
stroke, No official protest was filed
and Jimmy pocketed the $4,000
check.
His 269 was one stroke of Bobby
Locke's 1948 record.
The tournaments namesake
Hogan, wound up with only $3.50

over par again yesterday and had
q 72-hole total of 283.
Hogan leaves the tourney trail
here and heads back to his home
IN Fort Worth, Tex. He won't
drive this time. It was on his way
home after the 1949 Phoenix Open
that a bus-automobile accident
put him out, of play for the year.
Ellsworth Vines, the former ten
mis- champ now golfng out of
Chicago, learned on Friday that
his father had died. He continued
playing, tied the competitive
course record with a 81 on Satur-
day. and finished third with 274 to
take a $1,000 check.
Johnny Palmer of Badin, N. c.,
took seven strokes on the par 4
seventh hole and wound up fourth
with 275. He pocketed $500. Dave
Douglas, Newark, Del, had 276 for
$700, and both Jack Harden Of Ell
Paso and Henry Ransom of st.
Andrews, Ill. had 277 for $3.50.
Snead, who added $1,400 Sec
ond-place money to his $2,75S
won in previous PGA-sponsored
Journeys already this year, re-
mained the 1850 top cash winner.
That doesn't count the check he
won by tying for first place In
the Bing Crosby tourney. Dem
aret now is second with $2,792.
Birdie on 18th Helps.
Despite yesterdays rain, Jimmy
kept his dapper appearance. He
wore green plaid cap with tas-
sle, yellow shirt, red sweater and
bright green rain pants.
Turning point of the match
probably came on the 18th hole.
Snead was reported 5 under par
up ahead. Demaret was only /
under. He stroked an 18-foot
putt. It trimmed the cup, rolled
completely around and fell in for
a birdie.
Bob Rosburg of San Francisco
won the amateur honors with
a 291.
Only two players from Mary
land, Virginia and Washington,
ID. c., qualified for the final
round, and both finished out of
the money. Jack Isaacs of Lang
ley Field. Va, had 72-71-72-72
for 287, four strokes from the last
money prize, and Lew Worsham
scared to 79 after 70-73-72 for
