78 10 Break AII-Time
Record for Tourney

PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-
Steady Louise Suggs of Carrollton

to break the all-time women's
Open golf championship today as
she fired a one-over-par 70 for a
54-hole total of 209. a Seven-stroke
lead on the field.
The grim-lipped Georgia COM
petitor, who learned all her golf
from her daddy-a former minor
league baseball player-needs only
to score 78 or better tomorrow
to break the all-time Women5s
record for u holes. The mark cur
rently is 288, established at Palma
Ceia Country Club, Tampa, Fla,
last year by Mrs. George zaharias.
Miss Suggs has been hotter
than the three-day heat wave
which has baked this area with
100-degree temperatures. She
toured the 5.460-yard Bala Golf
Club course in one-over par 70
Thursday. followed this with a
par 50 yesterday, and then siz-
zled another 10 today.
New Three Round Mark.
Her 54-hole total of 2O9 is a.
new record for the first three
rounds of Open play. The old
mark of 218 was set by Defend
ing Champion Betsy Rawls oil

Hills Golf Club at Atlanta, Ga.
For the second straight day,
the slim Southerner-third lead
ing money winner on the wo-
mems circuit-one-putted eight
greens. She had three brides.
Closest to the pace of Miss
Suggs is Betty Jameson, San An

first two rounds of 71-73 for al
216 total Miss Jameson, who Isl
right behind Miss Suggs in money
winning this year, will have to-

hope for Suggs collapse on the
final 18 if she is to have any
chance of taking top prize in the
$500 tournament.

he Personalities

What the campaign has lacked
by way of genuinely contested
issues, it has made up in low-level
vehemence. This is perhaps not
so paradoxical as 1t seems at first
glance. It has been almost as if
the two sides were forced to deal
in personalities-in smear tactics
and mud-th -throwing-by the lack of
real issues to deal in.
This same lack will mean that
many voter, when he goes to the
polls day after tomorrow, will find
himself primarily concerned with
a question OF personalities. Some
undoubtedly will cast their ballots
in accordance with the dictates Of
an overriding issue which has i'm
pressed itself on their minds:
Against the washington mess, for
instance against the idea Of
military man in the White House.
Most, however, seem likely to vote
simply for the man who seems to
them the better Of the two.
And here again--however it may
have been depicted during the cam
paign, and whatever lever the
voter chooses to pull-the choice
will hardly present itself as one
between black and white. It viii

It was billed as "The Case of
Stevenson VS.. Stevenson" a court
room drama, written, produced
and acted by Senator Mccarthy.
The Eisenhower campaign head
quarters had made it clear that
the project was McCarthy's and
McCarthy's alone. The Stevenson
headquarters warned it would be
another infamous attack of the
sort the Wisconsinite hurled against
Gen. Marshall from the Senate
floor.
Mccarthy said he was going to
shed some light on Stevenson. But
the light wasn't very bright. Nc
Carthy conceded that he couldn't
make Stevenson out to be a Com
munist or even pro-Communist.
But he did go after Stevenson's
supporters. Some of them, Nc
Carthy said, had been notorious
leftistS. He waved Sheafs of docu-
ments at the audience and said
they contained the proof of his
statements.
McCorthy's Conclusions
Mccarthy concluded that Steven
sons left-wing friends and his
deposition in the Alger Hiss case
made him unfit for the presidency.
After his speech there was a
furry of statements to the press
correcting Interpretations and plac-
ing other quotations back in con-
text. Newspaper reviews of the
stark courtroom drama were, at
best, tepid. Even strongly pro-
Eisenhower newspapers shrugged
their editorial shoulders. Some
were shocked-but at Mccarthy,
not at Stevenson.
Perhaps the epic was unexciting
because it had been produced out
side the libel-proof sanctuary of
the Senate where Mccarthy, in the
past, had staged his hits.
Other Productions
Better shows were produced dur
ing the week. Both candidates
filled Madison. Square Garden in
New York City rallies. Stevenson
presented an all-star cast of stage,
screen and TV stars, all whooping
it up for his candidacy. Ike's sup
porting cast was less of the Broad
way clan; it featured, among
others, Tom Dewey and John Fos-
ter Dulles.

didates in American history when
he presented the Governors of Is

Bloody Sphinx

D EPEATEDLY. last week, United
AN Nations troops clawed their
way up Korean ridges to hurl Conn
munist fighters of the crests. And
just as doggedly, the Reds came
back and forced the allies to give
ground. The casualties-not yet
announced-seemed likely to reach
the tolls of some of the bloodiest
World War I battles.
The fighting on the hills with the
peculiar names didn't make much
sense to the readers Of the com.
muniques. What were those hills
like and why were they SO bitterly
contested?
Last week Associated Press re-
porter John Randolph visited the
central front and described the piv.
otal sector of the battle.
Imagine the crouching Sphinx Of
Egypt looking southeast, Randolph
wrote. It's big head and heavy

munism; Of this there can be no
real doubt. Yet each accuses the
other of soft attitude toward the
Reds.
Neither man has seemed willing,
in this campaign, to grant to the.
other the credit for good faith and
independence which he arrogates
to himself. Who is a captive Of
whom? Eisenhower: "The candi-
date of the administration party
has been taken over body, boots
and breeches by the administra-
tion." Stevenson: "The great cru
sade has become the great surren-
der. 1t now appears brutally
clear that Senator Taft has taken
over"
Which is the party of prosperity,
and which the party of depres-
sion? Eisenhower: "We must pledge
every single bit of strength {.
against the recurrence of the time
of the depression" Stevenson: "Of
course depression is possible. If
you want one, know just the boys
(the Old Guard who could pro-
duce it for YOU"
Who is leading the battle against
imitation? Eisenhower: Imitation is
the thief that robs you by night.
%. The present administration has
let this peril constantly grow"
Stevenson: 'It is the Democratic
Party which has led the fight to
hold prices down."
What about social security?
Eisenhower: "We must improve and
extend Social security" Steven
son: "The Republicans made the
same pledge in their 1914 platform.
-. Two years later they :. s.. actually
took social security coverage away
from more than half a million
people"
What about tidelands? This is
the only issue on which the two
candidates seem far apart. Eisen-
hover supports States rights to
the submerged lands; Stevenson
backs the national title to them.
But the tidelands issue is relatively
insignificant in the overall context
of the campaign.
