Cream Of Amateur Coll
In Stranahan S Path
Ito Third British Title
BY the Asseeia,sd Press

PORTHCAWL,; Wales. May 10.
Frank Stranahan will set out
Monday over windblown Royal
Porthcawl golf course in search
of his third British Amateur golf
Echampionship-one more than any
other American ever has won.
Blocking his path will be the
cream of American amateur golf
and three members of British
Walker Cup team, including Joe

tional test.

seeks golf perfection just as

Ian of Mobassa. Kenya, in the
first round. And If he hopes to
get to the final he'll have to get
past fellow-countryman Willie
Turnesa. British champion three
years ago. or Dick Chapman, who
lost to Frank 8 and 6, in last years
deciding round. Stranahan also
won in 1948.
Tough Course To Beat.
The field is considerably smaller
than usual-only 100 entries COM
pared with 324 year ago. There
are % Americans besides Strana-
han, including Comedian Bob
Hope.
The field is good, but the winner
will have to beat this course to
win.
Packed into a tight triangle on
the gently rolling slope of q rocky
plateau rising out of Bristol Char
mel, the whole layout presents
It's bare face to raw winds whip
ping in from the Atlantic.
Britain abounds in seaside soli
courses. but you would have to &c

sEATTLE-ALAsKA's WHIPPING BOY

At least the Seattle Chamber of Commerce recognizes the continued quarrel propaganzed be- tween Alaska and Seattle for what it is.
 That is made clear in recent radio broadcast from Seattle by Thomas J. Pelly, president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 Alaska" was the subject of his address and be- cause of its interest, the Juneau Chamber of Com merce is distributing copies of it to its members Only it's l0-page length is the Empires reason for not publishing the address in full
 Mir Pelly discusses trade with Alaska. then says, "The subject of trade with Alaska brings up the present political situation which citizens in Seattle must recognize and meet"
 And from here on we quote at length from MT. Pely's address:
 And before pursuing what referred to as the political situation should explain that Chamber policy is to avoid if possible taking sides in con- troversal Alaska questions. By this don't mean we necessarily want to duck issues, but rather we take the position Alaskans themselves are the ones to resolve their disagreements A good example of this is the much-debated question Of Statehood
 "As you know Governor Ernest Gruening of Alaska has strongly advocated Statehood for Alaska and he has won good many ardent supporters for this program. On the other hand many Alaskans, particularly business are violently opposed to statehood the basis that the 'coso of a State Government would increase taxes and thereby retard development They think statehood is premature and it is better to let the Federal Government carry the cost of development during their pioneer period Here obviously, is subject Seattle Chamber mem bers visiting Alaska treat with discretion.
 Privately some may harbor, and even express. their opinions but officially discreetly silent. In way Statehood quite impractical when one realizes there are residents in Kitsap County

field made a fascinating, eerie | spectacle in the nighttime gutter al German voices, the swish-sWish of the flowing hydrogen, and the steady silent launching of the big bags as they slipped off into the darkness.
 The boys were getting off theil missives to Prague pretty regu- larly = about 1900, all told-wher it started to drizzle We kept go- ] ing for a while, since rain doesn't impede the balloons. They rise above the clouds in no time, but it does get the men wet So, at am. we finally laid off; every one pretty well soaked.
 {, I sat in the car for while waiting for the rain to stop but when it didn't I used the excuse that I had to get to the cable of flee, and at am. headed back for Munich. I'm getting old, l guess, and cant take it.
 Before I left, however, I went down the line of murky trucks trying to find your son. finally located him sitting inside truck, [ listening to German veterans and eX-prisoners swapping war exper- fences with American c. I. stud ents = men who had once been fighting each other but who now worked together launching friend- ship messages to another people whom they hoped they wouldn't have to fight.
 Germans, incidentally, supposed to be the military master race seem to me completely pacifist German youngsters are just as un- enthusiastic about raising an ar my as your son and other Ameri- can youngsters are about the draft. Sometimes I think it's chiefly the old dodoes who arc complacent about the prospect of war. However, I'm convinced that Moscow wants to wait a consid- erable time before it plunges the world into war. Its satellite peo- ples are too restless and would turn against the Kremlin in case of war. That's why I think this balloon deal, coming at this part icular time, may help. It's only drop in the bucket. of course and lots of people will pooh-pooh it but you have to make a start some way or other in attempts at penetrating the Iron Curtain, so we've taken the first step.
 Anyway, I drove back to Nun ich at 3 am, leaving your son up on the border. They resumed launching the balloons at 4 am. and continued until s6 but he didn't get back to Munich with the trucks until noon, making a 28-hour day-from am. till l2

 The winds weren't quite right the day following, however, and he got 12 hours sleep though last night. When I arrived at the bor- der at 3 am. they were at it again, continuing until 6 am. they planned to lay over until noon, let the men sleep on the roadside, and then unloose another barrage which would hit Prague about 4 pm, just as the people were start ing home from work.
 We'll, that's why your son hasn't written and why am trying to report for him.
 !, I am very lonesome and anxious to get home. It's rained lot here and I hope you've had some of it at home. When I left the pastures were just about burned up. See you soon.

also were too late to join the main truck convoy which had left Mu- nich at noon so Tyler was con- missioned to remain behind to see the most important part of our operation got to the border on time.
 I am writing you because I know he hasn't fulfilled his prom ise to write you every day but I think, when you read this, you'll undestand why
 The winds of freedom, incident- ally, shift back and forth along the border and neither he nor l knew exactly where to join the other trucks. But he had instruc- tions to meet lookout in front of the post office in Weiden, a little town 10 miles from the bor- der. The lookout directed us 10 miles in another direction, where we sighted our convoy and where your son finally delivered the g. 100000 messages to the Czech people on time.
 The trucks were parked on a narrow road on the Bavarian hill- side almost on a straight line to- ward Pilsen and Prague, the two largest cities of Czechoslovaha.
 Arranging a convoy is com- plicated operation, somewhat like loading a circus train and it re- minded me of my old tent-wreck- ing days. Electric generators are at one end of the convoy, though far enough away so that no sparks can reach the hydrogen tanks used to fill the balloons, these are filled inside the truck and launched from it's rear end. Next come four side-gate trucks for rubber balloons. The latter are so big they can't be filled in- side the trucks, so the hydrogen tanks are laid sideways with
 
 hose extending to the balloon launching tables on the side of the road
 Tyler operated the valve on the hydrogen tank, supervising a crew of three Germans. The balloon is inflated with hydrogen until it touches two inverted table legs about four feet apart When it reaches this diameter, it is tied at the bottom and sent on it's way across the Iron Curtain. auto- graphed one of these balloons for Gottwald and Stalin.
