IF YOU don't think little money in the bank
makes great difference to your game, all you
have to do is talk to Gardner Dickinson, who
is now teaching pro at my club, Tamarisk,
in Palm Springs. He finished in the money in
ID out of Is tournaments in which he played
last year, but he might well have won several
more of them had he been able to gamble on

18th Day Of Hearings
In Army-McC arthy Row

WASHINGTON, R- Secretary
of the Army Stevens swore today
that Sen. McCarthy's aides threat
ened him if Pvt. C. David Schine
failed to get favored treatment.
They made exceedingly ser
ious" threats, Stevens told the
Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the McCarthy-Army row.
And, Stevens declared, he had
a distinct impression from Nc
Carthy, as well as from the SEN
ator's aides, that the more the
Army did for Schine the less
"hammering" the Army would be
subjected to from the Mccarthy
committee.
Mccarthy hammered questions
at Stevens and the usually mild
hammered secretary, in his 18th
day in the witness chair, snapped
back with a sharpness not dis
played before.

called McCarthy's fraudulent let

Mccarthy, Atty. Gen. Brownell
ruled that the letter, and the long

it apparently came, must not be
made public. He said publication
would be harmful to the national
interest.
Mccarthy had introduced the
letter, saying it was written by
Director J. Edgar Hoover of the
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
to an Army general concerning an
investigation of possible espion-
age. Testimony was given We'd

his long pipe, with a thin stem.
He gave us instructions not to

meager possessions. This certain
item was twisted rope made
from the sinewy barks of the
water willows. If one of us touch

No one informed him of his aunt
who visited us while he was away.
"Our tent was close to a high
mountain, and in two days this
mountain was black with the
moving caribou. We butchered for
many days. Bessie and Hanah
worked side by side. They picked
out the best skins to make Charlie
new clothes. This was not his fee
for the performance The medi-
clne-doctor- ancestors, who helped
him, must have their pay. So in
their names Doctor Charlie was
dressed and fed.
"On our way back to the Kobuk
we met many starving people,
Some had left trail of death be-
hind them. To the living we gave
meat and skins.
"a year later Hanah had run
away after one and the last quar-

word to Charlie that some men
were asking for her hand in mar
riage If Charlie did not come to

imagine another man taking my

go to her now, I'll never forget
her. He left Bessie, now weeping
in grief over losing him. Did she
in her own selfish way learn to
love him? Or was she angry be-
cause Hanah was winning? Char
lie probably realized his future
would be a stormy one if he
stayed with beautiful Bessie. She
