Demaret' S Ace Gains
Stroke Lead and Tie
For Course Record
BY the Associated Press


PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 27.-Ben
Hogan and Jimmy Demaret renew
their Phoenix golf battle today
with a fellow named Johnny
Palmer given a good chance of
fooling them both.
The opening round in the $10,-
900 Ben Hogan Open tournament
went to Jimmy yesterday by a
single stroke as he tied the COM
petitive course record with a 81.
He also dropped the first hole-in-
one of his competitive career, as
his high No. iron shot on the
18th hole rolled into the cup.
Demaret had left the clubhouse
when Hogan finished with 65 to
tie Palmer inssecond place. Ben,
who said his putting was "the best
I've done in my life," stroked a
30-foot putt into the hole to score
an eagle three on the long par five
18th hole.
He remarked he felt good, so
probably has given the gate to the
flu that bothered him early this
week.
Last year Hogan and Demaret
fought even down to the wire here
just as they had ait Long Beach
the previous week. Here Demaret
won the playoff. It had been just
the opposite the week before.
Tourney Is Wide Open.
After losing in the extra round.
Hogan left for home as he had
planned before the tourney started.
On the way that early morning
car-bus crash put him in the hos
pital and out of play for the year.
Some thought he never would
play competitive golf again. But
he did at Los Angeles and the
story Of how he finished in first
place tie and then lost to Sam
Snead. 1949 golfer of the year, in
the playof is history. Yesterday
Hogan wrote into the record book
his best 18-hole round since COM
ing back.
Demaret hasn't won a tourney
since the 1949 Phoenix Open and
is out to end the dearth, but don t
think for minute this tourna-
ment is neat little bundle all
wrapped up for Hogan, Demaret
or Palmer.
Snead and Wally Ulrich of
Minneapolis were just two strokes
off the leaders pace with FIVE
under-par 66s. Jack Harden of
Ell Paso and Dale Andreason OF
Hinsdale, H., each had scores OF
81. At So were Clayton Heafner,
Charlotte, N. c., Fred Hawkins of
Ell Paso and Ellsworth Vines of
Chicago.
All told. 80 of the play-for-pay
boys were under regulation figures.
The leading amateurs were Gray
Madison of Phoenix and Bill
Markham of East Hampton, Conn.
They both had II, one over par for
the 6.620-yard Phoenix Country
Club course.
Lew Worsham, former United
States Open champion, had a 10,
while down in the pack were three
Baltimore golfers, Walter Romans

WHAT TO DO TO WIN

Here's how you take part in this big opportunity! Every issue this newspaper will publish Alaskagrams in consecutive order, six each week fnr 12 weeks-a total of 72 Alaska grams.
 Each Alaskagram is a group of scrambled letters which form mean ingless words or nOnsensical phrase. After an Alaskagram is unscrambled the letters form the name of a place in Alaska; how ever, there is one superfluous letter -an extra, additional letter which is not needed to form the word.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1950-02-02

All you do is re-arrange the let ters to form single word which is the name of a place in Alaska, and you also show which is the extra letter. For example, the phrase FOR A CHANGE" when it is un- scrambled equals ANCHORAGE" plus the extra letter F.
 Just remember that all place. names consist of only one word and remember to- show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.

umn appears in Republican, Demo- cratic and neutral newspapers. They all carry advertising and that gives them revenue to be free. As long as the press is not licensed, a pub- isher is a free man as he can rrint what he thinks he should. If the press were licensed, maybe only government press agents would have space in it.
 So, I do not really care if my space on the radio is generally unsponsored. When I see how frightened these advertising agenc- ies are of the law department of the EGG, I feel happier not to have anything to do with either of them. I don't like the frightener or those who live in fear.
 Yet, you, in the good cause of urholding the morals of our race, make the incorrect proposal of ex- tending government licensing. There has been censorship over motion pictures for years but it has not done much to keep poor pictures out of circulation.
 My experience has been that nor als are not matter of licensing by the state. Men are not made good by law. There have been laws against murder for centuries, and yet J. Edgar Hoover reports a frightful crime wave as of this year.
 Morals depend upon upbringing, education, religion. There must be a sense of right, deeply lodged in the consciousness of each individ- ual. And that sense can be nur- tured better in the home, church and school than by licensing board which is, itself. and instru- ment of partisan politics and in trigue. We need God and his law as our guide.
 If we raise the morality of our people through education, good taste will suffer no outrage. A li- censing board can only establish censorship, and it's own private indecencies.
 Respectfully Yours,

commentators on the air were eith- CT neutral or left wing. A conser- vative, like myself, could not get time on the radio, because business men and advertising agencies and even network managers were afraid of the FCC.
 I know about that because I in- vestigated very thoroughly and was told, nothing doing. He don't want trouble with the FCC.'
 In a word, they were scared of the licensing agency. They put millions into a business and the EGG might take it away from them on one pretext or another and give the business to deserving Demo- crat or a New Deal harpy
 I have been on the air for a year now and have been doing nice- ly, but whenever anyone seeks a sponsor, some advertising agency man advises against sponsoring me, lest the EGG won't like it.

CENSORSHIP

SEIN NSOhSniI
 My Dear Senator Edwin c. John son:
 I see by the Congressional Record that you were kind enough to in clude one of my columns in your masterly arraignment of Ingrid Bergman. That was kind of you, for while my writings appear daily in large number of newspapers, they are nowhere recorded for pos terity.
 While I admire your diatribe, I must say that I cannot go along with your proposal to license the motion picture industry or the personalities in it.
 Licensing and censorship never did anything for morals or decency. Look at radio. It has been licensed from the very start.
 While I can stay out of mo- tion picture house altogether, l might be tempted to turn on Tos- canni or Father Fulton Sheen or The Greatest Story ever Told" on the radio and then, should I for get to turn the thing off in time I could fill my home with the vil- est gibberish in words and sound And all of it would be licensed.
 As matter of fact, have made very thorough study of the EGG over the years. I would not hire Mir. James L. Fly, MT. Clifford Durr or MT. Wayne Coy to license any thing I do not think well o1 their judgment or their partisan ship. Nor would they of mine That of course, is personal op- inion about individuals whose ideas and tastes differ from mine. Yet they do the licensing for me
 The point is that when you be- gin to put shackles on freedom you must first look to who does the shackling. For instance, fol many years, most of the politica

IRON GRAB SHAKER DEVICE ON TRAWLER SAILING FOR BERlNG

SEATTLE, March g = IA = Equipped with radar and new de- vice for handling crab meat, the trawler Deep Sea of Deep Sea Traw- lers Inc, was to sail today for the Bering Sea.
 The new device will be used in shaking the meat out of the body and legs of crabs caught during the fishing cruise.
 The crab meat device is the in- vention of Harry Lang, chief engi- neer of the Deep Sea.
 It is believed here to be the first fishing craft in the North Pacific with radar.
 The 140-foot steel trawler is under command of Capt. William M. Blackford and carries crew of 25 men. She returned from her last cruise in Boring Sea December 3 last year with a pack of 100000 pounds of crab meat.

The newspaper, and scores of others in Holland, went on to describe the distribu- tion of the toys by CARE, and the manner in which children all oyer the U. s. worked with the Ameri- can Legion to collect them.
 Only sour grapes expressed abroad as was expected, was by the Com munist Press. Even the Communist De Waarheid, however, couldn't entirely damn the tide of toys.
