Physician Winner
Of Marathon Used
In Test of Hearts
BY the Assoe,oted Press


PHILADELPHIA, NOV. g.
knowledge of the effects of eX-
ercise on persons suffering from
heart disease may be increased
because of a 26-mile marathon
run staged here yesterday.
The 80 distance runners COM
peting in the first Valley Forge
marathon over Philadelphia
streets and suburban roads each
underwent a series of medical
tests before and after the race.
The tests, which will be eval-
uated and published later. will
determine, their sponsors hope
the impact of tremendous eX-
ertion and systematic exercises
on the heart and arteries. The
research specialists were particu-
larly interested in fat metab-
oliSm, which is connected with
the early stages of hardening of
the arteries.
DR.. Charles Robbins, a 33-
year-old Philadelphia physician
for the United States Public
Health Service and a veteran
distance runner, won the race in
2 hours 26 minutes and 7 Sec
onds. Second was Ted Corbitt,
a New York physio-therapist,
followed by Edo Romagnoli, a
New York traffic policeman.
The race started from the
downtown Wolfe Clinic and Hos
pital and ended at the Valley
Forge Heart Institute and Hos
pital in suburban FairvieW Viii
lage.
The age of the entries ranged
from 20-year-old Ralph Eilberg
of nearby Upper Darby to 65-
year-old Amos Kujala, a Boston
gardener.

Advisory Committee
Urges Pro Golfers
To Appoint Car
BY the Assoeiated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 9.-Profes-
sional golf is goinq to get a car.
similar to baseball's-if the PGA
takes the advice of its advisory
committee.
The Professional Golfers Asso-
cations Executive Committee
will consider the recommendation
later this week. President Horton
Smith is on record as favoring a
commissioner of pro golf.
The Advisory Committees rec
ommendation came shortly after
it had elected George S. May of
Chicago as chairman to succeed
comedian Bob Hope.
Our committee, May said in
a statement, strongly urges that
one man be given the power
to make and enforce all decis-
ions involving PGA tournament
players.
Such a man would have au-
thority to handle all the details
of the tour and would work on
the policy level. of course under
the control of National PGA
officials"
May is promoter of the world
an. aIl-America tournaments at
the Tam O'Shanter Club of
Chicago.
May made it plain the pro-
posed commissioner would not
"impinge" on any PGA executive
powers, but pointed out that
while the PGA now has a travel
ing supervisory staff no one man
is designated to enforce de-
ciSions.
A commissioner likely could
have solved already a matter
which has been debated three
days by the PGA's Executive
Committee without action-the
winter circuit dates.
Authority for handling details
at present is spread among the
13-member Executive Commit
tee. President Smith, Executive
Secretary Tom Crane and three
elected representatives of tour
nament players, Cary Middlecof,
Jerry Barber and Dave Douglas.
Another matter likely to fall
into a commissioners lap would
be failure or outright refusal of
some name" golfers to play in
certain circuit tournaments.
Dave Griffith, Detroit, was
chosen vice-preSident of Mays
advisory committee and Harry
Radix, Chicago, secretary.
There are more than 80 Spon-
sorS here for the PGA sessions.
but no decisions have been an
nounced on tournaments. A
spokesman claimed it was due to
an excess of tournaments.

illness got into the newspapers
and gifts and letters began to
pour in.
But the best thing that hap
pened. Raphaela said, was the
telephone call she got from Mr..
LAMA, who sang Silent Night"
to her over the long distance
lines, invited her 80 Hollywood
and made her the guest of honor
at a special party.
Every Friday night Mr.. LAMA
