Singles Play Today

The Mid-Atlantic section team
pulled out the last three matches
yesterday to tie the Philadelphia
golfers, 3-3, going into today's
singles play at / pm. for the
Mason-Dixon Cup at Columbia.
The first three best-ball
matches into the clubhouse
yesterday all went to the de-
Tending champions from Phila-
delphia. The third foursome nm
ished play on the 14th hole
when Philadelphians Allan Sus-
sci and Richard Stephens caught
Eddie Johnston and Spencer
Overton on an of day and
handed them a and 4 defeat.
Brownell, BOgart Win.
All six matches were decided
before the 18th hole. Bobby
Brownell and Ralph Bogart OF
Chevy Chase won the closest
match of the day when they
beat Richard Altman and Bill
Hyndman, 3 and /. after a see
saw struggle in the last four
some.
Bogart and Brownell never
trailed during the afternoon but
twice had one-up leads evapo-
rate on the front nine. After
making the turn, however, the
twosome from Chevy Chase
grabbed three holes in 2 row
when Bogart birdied the 10th
and Brownell birdied IL and IL.
Altman, the Philadelphia
champion, was spraying his iron
shots but Hyndman took up the
slack with brides on the 18th
and 18th holes. Meanwhile. Bo-
CART birdied the 14th and he and
Brownell both got IS on the 17th
to wrap up the match.
Low Score for BrOwnell.
The par-3 10th was the only
hole on the back nine that
escaped brides from this four
some. Brownell. the Mid-Atlan-
tic champion, was the lowest
scorer of the day, crossing a d
under-par 68 from Columbia's
blue tees. Hyndman was next
low with SO.
The turning point for the Mid
Atlantic amateurs was the fourth
match, in which Grover Mac
Kenzie and young Jay Randolph
came from behind to dispose OF
Ellis Taylor and Sam Maniaci,
1 and 2. Mackenzie won the 10th,
18th and 18th holes to go two-up
and Randolph finished the match
with brides on the 18th and 10th.

By Hermon F. Schoden

Washington's beautiful and
beloved trees took their worst
beating from the hurricane.
Thousands were uprooted or de-
formed by the swirling wind that
played no favorites as it ripped
over the White House and Capt.
tol grounds. the parks. the
streets and private property.
Ahead lies a tremendous clean
up, surgical and re-planting task,
and the only cheering aspect is
that the job is in the tender
hands of those who love to make
trees grow.
All those charged with pro-
tecting trees were unanimous in
assessing the damage as the
greatest any storm has wrought.
The toll runs like this:
District government trees
(streets)-150 uprooted; 1000 to
$500 torn to pieces and most Of
them doomed; hundreds of
others in need of doctoring.
National Capital Parks (parks
and parkways)-300 trees of To-
inch diameter or greater de-
stroyed: up to 1000 of all sizes
heavily damaged; many others
with lesser damage.
Capitol Grounds-14 trees lost,
others damaged.
White Houses trees de-
stroyed. =
Private grounds (residences)-
An uncounted number. probably
reaching into the hundreds.
White House Losses.
One of the saddest losses was
at the White House, not more
than 100 feet from the executive
offices.
There a 100-year-old silver
linden, IS feet high and spread
ing 100 feet, was whipped to the
ground and uprooted. It was one
of the loveliest on the grounds.
President Eisenhower was so
upset by what he saw that he
made special effort to save the
tree. At his request, experts were
called in to determine whether
the huge shade tree could be
righted and made to grow again.
The opinion was negative, and
the tree had to be cut up and
hauled away.
In its place will be planted
another, but it will remain for
future generations to enjoy the
splendor of its mature growth.
Two lesser trees went down at
the White House, an elm with a
20-inch diameter trunk was up
rooted, as was an ash outside
the fence on Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
Heavy Arb0retum Damage.
Probably the most damage
packed into one area occurred at
the National Arboretum. About
30 trees, some of them 12O feet
high, were blown down in the
Mount Hamilton area. This is
the scene of the azalea paintings
and is one of the arboretum's

publicans probably would lose
their entire State ticket. Senator
Ferguson would be defeated for
reelection and the Democrats
would take over three or four
House seats now held by the
G. o. P Such devastating de-
feat for the Republicans is not
really expected by either the
Democrats themselves or the
more objective observers.
Michigan, after all. has been
and is still considered to be a
Republican State. Gov. Williams
was only 81 when he won his
first election in 1948-and he
is only 43 years old now. In a
measure, he is political phe-
nomenon-a Democrat who can
count upon the support of $4,000
to 10000 Republican votes
when he himself is on the ticket.
Somewhat like Frank Lausche in
Ohio and Ed johnson in Colo
RADIO. He alone of the whole
Democratic State ticket was
elected in 1850 and 1852. For
example. he won as Governor two
years ago with a lead of $500
votes and the Democratic can
didate for Secretary of State lost
by $4,000. The late Senator
Blair Moody-who served in the
Senate under appointment by
Gov. Williams-in that same
election lost by about 10000,
despite the effort made by Gov.
Williams to help elect Mr..
Moody. During his entire service
as Governor, Gov. Williams has
been confronted by a Republi-
can-controlled legislature. The
good things that have been ac-
complished during the whole
period by State government, Gov.
Williams claims have been due
to his leadership and admins
tration.
Democrats Take Courage.
The Democrats are taking
courage from the results of the
primary elections this year. They
point out that instead of casting
about 35 per cent of the total
vote in these primaries to IS
per cent for the Republicans.
they moved up to 46 per cent
and cut the Republicans to 81
per cent. This. they say, is the
result of better organization.
Incidentally. Gov Williams per-
centage of the vote in the pri-
mary in Wayne County Detroit)
moved up from 81 per cent to II
per cent. Using this as a basis.
and comparing it with other
years. a tabulation has been
made for the Democrats showing
Gov. Williams winning by 168,-
600 votes. More realistic Demo-
cratic leaders, however, say he
will win by around $4,000 votes.
Running unopposed in the gu
bernatorial primary, Gov. Will
liams polled within a few votes
OF the total cast in the Repub-
lican primary for four candi-
dates for the gubernatorial
nomination.
The Republicans claim that
for the first time in their con-
tests with Gov. Williams their
party is wholly together and not
rent by intra party strife. This
they contend. will make a con- F.
siderable difference. Also. they
claim they have a candidate as
attractive in his way as "Soapy"
Williams himself. Donald s.
Leonard, 81 years old, has been a
State trooper, rising to Commits
s1oner of State Police, a lawyer
and an administrator. He was
director of civil defense and fuel
administrator for Michigan dur
