To Georgia Thursday
For Go|fing Holiday
By Joseph A. Fox

President Eisenhower will fly
to Augusta, Ga, Thursday after
noon for golfing holiday on the
Augusta National golf course
that will last until Sunday, the
White House announced today.
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty told reporters also that the
President will hold a news con-
ference at 1915 pm. tomorrow,
under a scheduled rearrange-
ment necessitated by the week
end trip.
Gen. Eisenhower is returning
to Augusta for the first time
since his post-election trip there.
It will be his first trip away
from Washington since he took
Office.
Returning Late Sunday.
He will be quartered as on
previous occasions at the Ma
tional Golf Club, while the press
party accompanying him will
stay at an Augusta hotel, the
Bon Air. The President will
return to Washington late Sum-
day. t*.<5'*@ &
The President got in seven
hours of golf and relaxation at
the Burning Tree Club yesterday,
the third time he has played
this nearby Maryland course
since he entered the White
House.
In announcing tom orrow's
press CONFERENCE.-THE at the un-
usual midday hour-Mr. Hag-
erty said Gen. Eisenhower here
after will see reporters on Thurs
day. That was news conference
day in the Truman administra-
ton, and it is assumed that Gen.
Eisenhower will alternate ses-
sions between morning and after
noon.
Seeing Cabinet Tomorrow.

price controls to keep down the
cost of foods.
Mr.. Gordon also testified that
some of the seeds the Govern
ment owns begin losing their
power to germinate after storage
of a year or two.
Senator Williams demanded
how this helped farmers. Farm
ers, he said. are the only ones
who buy seeds. If the Govern
ment keeps up seed prices. he
said, that helps the farmers who
sell-but penalties the farmers
who buy. And in the middle is
the Government, probably losing
money on the deal.
1T will be stopped immedi-
ately," promised Mr.. Gordon.
Goals Questioned.
Senator Anderson, Democrat,
of New Mexico, suggested the
Agriculture Department had set
agricultural goals far too high
in recent years-and thus had
itself to blame for some of the
SurpluSes. Mr.. Gordon pointed
out that Secretary Benson al
ready had asked growers this
year to produce one million
fewer bales of cotton than for
mer Secretary Brannan had re-
quested.
Committee Chairman Aiken,
of Vermont, said the department
goals in the past may have been
too high. but perhaps they were
based on factors that changed,
and perhaps nobody at Agricul-
ture could be blamed.
That was about the kindest
thing the Republicans had to
say about the Agriculture De-
partment all dav

Wins Canadian Golf
By the A,seelated Press

MONTREAL, Aug. %. Don
Cherry, 29-year- r-old crooner from
Wichita Falls, Tex, struck from
behind with a birdie on the 35th
hole and a par on the 36th to
win the Canadian amateur golf
championship today.
Cherry, never ahead until the
final hole, defeated Don Doe of
CRANKY. Que, on the 36th after
squaring the match with his
birdie two on the 165-yard 35th
hole.
The Texan, a member of the
U. S. Walker Cup team. was three
down to the 32-year-old Cana
dian at the end of the first 18
holes. He whitfield away at the
lead and finally squared the
match at the 29th.
But Doe regained the lead on
the 545-yard 34th with a par
five when Cherry, still five feet
from the cup in five, conceded.
On the 35th Cherry's tee shot
stopped 412 feet short of the pin
and he sank it for a birdie. Does
drive rolled 20 feet past and his
putt just trimmed the cup.
The American sliced his drive
into light rough on the 430-yard
par four 36th. Does tee shot was
straight down the middle. Cherry
played a beautiful iron shot to
the green. 20 feet short of the
pin. Does second caught a
bunker and was nearly buried in
the sand. His explosion to the
high green still left him with a
20-foot putt and he missed his
par as Cherry went down in two.

Bothered by a growth on his
hand which has affected his
shotmaking and destroyed his
confidence, particularly in the
last few months, Snead has won
only the Baton Rouge Open on
the winter tour and his own
tournament at Greennrier.
Slammin' Sam has been run
nerup in three others, but he's
not too proud of his Second-place
finish in the Open. Recently he
couldn't even win the State Open
in West Virginia, when the only
player in the field who should
have been within 20 strokes of
him-Blll Campbell-beat him
by four.
Boros' ineffectiveneSs has puz-
zled those who thought his Ma
tional Open and World" tri-
umphs in 1852 we're stepping
stones to greatness. The best he
has done this year is a second
place finish in the 54-hole tour

many baseball players who
zoomed to stardom their first
