Women Open
Begins, With
Suggs Favored
Most Name Pros Here
But Amateur List Is
Less Representative
By MerreII WhittIesey

Louise Suggs, who won five of
the 10 events on the winter Sec
tion of the Ladies PGA tour.
was the logical favorite as the
Women's National Capital Open
got underway today at Prince
Georges Country Club. It is the
opening event on the summer
circuit.
Sixteen professionals, includ-
ing all of the big names except
two or three. are on hand for
the four-day tournament, the
first big women's golf event held
here for five years. The prize
money is $4,000 and the Damon
Runyon Cancer Fund will get all
profits, plus some donations al
ready in hand.
While the pro representation
is excellent, the tournament did
not attract any of the top anna
teurS, most of whom are compet-
ing in the Women's Southern
championship. Twenty-three
amateurs from Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the District boosted
the starting field to 80.
Babe Top Challenger,
Mrs. Babe Zaharias. who gave
this tournament q tremendous
boost when she cut short her
intended vacation to play, is the
No. challenger to Louise.
In the last tournament the
girls played, the Babe Zaharias
Open at Beaumont in mid-April,
Miss Suggs won by two strokes
over the Babe. It was after this
one that Mrs. Zaharias returned
to the hospital for a checkup
and a rest. just about q year
from the date Of an operation
for the removal of a cancer
condition.
The host Prince Georges Club
is in tip-top shape for the 72-
hole tournament, the best con-
dition the course ever has been
in. according to Pro AL Hough-
ton. The girls will play summer
rules and from the front of the
mems tees. Par is u from the
mems tees and even 75s prob
ably will win.
In 1949 the Women's National
Open was played here and Miss
Suggs won it by a 14-stroke mar
gin with 291 for the 72 holes
to 305 for Mrs. Zaharias.
Other Top Pros Here.
Players who could take the
play away from the favored
Suggs-Zaharias duo are Jackie
Pung, the big gal from Hawaii.
and Beverly Hanson Silvernail,
both National Amateur cham
pions within the past four years,
and both now among the top
money winners on the Ladies'
PGA circuit.

stars competing, plus two at
tractive young members Of the
circuit, blond Bonnie Randolph
and brunette Lesbia Lobo.
The amateurs tee off from
10:45 through 1855 today and
tomorrow, with the Babe and
Betty Dodd leading the pros at
1890, and the Misses Crocker,

Security Status of Glass Researcher Being Reviewed

CORNING, N. ". R-Edward U. Condon, the former head of the US. Bureau of Standards, said Wednesday night that Defense Department officials were review ing his security status.
 Condon, now research director for the Corning Glass Works, said he. was working exclusively on non-military projects involving no access to classified information" while the review was pending.
 Condon declined to elaborate when asked whether the Defense Department action instituted a suspension of clearance.
 He said the current review was in connection with the glass firms government contracts. Corning does work for the Navy Depart ment.
 In a statement, Condon said his loyalty to the United States was not an issue in the security re- view. Nor was there any sugges- ton, Condon said, that he ever had preached security regulations or had been indiscreet in handling secret information.
 He did not say when the review was begun, or by what agency.
 Condon, who resigned from the Bureau of Standards post in Octo- Der, 1851, to come here, once was described by the House Un-Amer- ican Activities Committee as "the weakest link" in the nations at omic security chain. He has re- peatedly denied this.
 Condon's name has cropped up in the security investigation of pr. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who headed the Los Alamos atomic bomb project dur ing World War II.

 we are going to have to have more hospital beds in Alaska or somewhere to lick this problem. :"
 The Health Commissioner urged the House Appropriations sub committee to approve $160,000 for Alaska to permit operation of two vessels as mobile health units. These boats are now tied up, he said, at the Lake Union Dry Dock in Seattle.
 Albrecht said contract can be made with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to put patients in the Washington state hospitals up to the number of 500 or 600 if we act between now and the first of 1855"

Three Sites Picked As Possible for
 Air Force Academy

WASHINGTON, R-The Air Force announced Thursday that it's search for an academy site has been definitely narrowed to three locations-Alton, H., Colorado Springs, Colo, and Lake Geneva, Wis.
 Air Force Secretary .Talbott made the announcement, saying the three sites had been recom- mended by a five-man board and he must make the final choice from among them.
 Talbott said he would make his decision only after further per sonal inspections by himself and his staff, and that he will study thoroughly the problems of land acquisition, engineering and all factors at the three locations be- fore making his pick.
 The academy selection board started it's search at the beginning of April, travelling more than 18,- 900 miles, reading reports and recommendations involving more than 400 locations proposed by civic groups and local communi- ties.
 Legislation authorizing the acad- emy was signed by President Els enhower on April l, but the idea of setting one up was conceived shortly after the Air Force be- came a separate service in Sep tember, 1947.

 Army longshoremen from the Seattle port of authorization will scramble ashore like amphibious troops at the isolated stations in the arctic where there are no docking facilities. A warlike col lection of landing craft will be used to get the supplies to the beaches.
 The number of men involved or the number and location of the outposts to be visited have not been revealed.
 Military sources disclosed, how ever, that this years fleet will in- clude two Victory ships, two LSTs and the freighter Valentine. These will carry 15 assorted landing craft.

Future of Ice Duration in Northern Ports May Be Determined in New
 Science Study of Juneau Glacier

NEW YORK, R-Seven scien- lists left Juneau this week for a three-month stay on Lemon Creek Glacier and a study of the big ice cubes department and nourish- ment.
 Their summer camp will be only nine miles from Juneau, but 4,00G feet above sea level on the perpetual ice of just one glacier in the Juneau ice field.
 The project is being carried on by the American Geographical Society under contract with the Office of Naval Research. Logisti- cal support will be provided by the US. Army and Air Force.
 Six or seven tons of equipment will be flown by the Alaskan Air Command to be deposited near the scientists camp by parachute and free drop. A small plane will ser vice the party during their. stay, ferrying personnel, delivering mail and maintaining communications.
 For five summers and one win ter the society sent expeditions to nearby Taku, one of the few glaciers in the world which is advancing. Last year it's first ex- petition went to the receding Lemon Creek Glacier, which has been proposed as one of the US. stations in a worldwide network of pathological observations in 1957-58.
 Of particular interest to the party will be the heat exchange between the glacier and the air above it. The men will try to determine how far the glacier is receding and the state of it's nour- ishment-or the state of balance between accumulation of new and the process of evaporation and melting.
 This behavior pattern will be compared with glacial history and may shed light on whether the climate of the world is growing warmer, whether the sea level may rise or fall and whether the northern ports will be ice-free for longer or shorter periods in the future.
