36-HOEe Test
Matches Pair
With Opposite
Backgrounds
BY HUGH FULLERTON JR.

BY HUGH FULLERTON Jk.
DETROIT R-The final round of
the National Amateur golf cham
pionShip-a tournament noted for
its contrasts-today matched 4
pair of golfers Of sharply contrast
ing age, appearance and back
grounds.
But Bob Sweeny of Long Island,
Palm Beach, London, and The Ri
viera, and Arnold Palmer of Lat
robe, Pa, Kake Forest, N. c., and
Cleveland had one thing in CON-
mon-they're darn good golfers
when the strokes really count.
The last two favorites, who as
sumed those roles only when the
early choices failed, Sweeny and
Palmer clashed today in 36-hole
final starting at $3.50 am. (EST).
Sweeny is 4S, tall and almost
cadaverously thin, with an Oxford
accent and an impeccable social
background. And he's a golfer who
5 o m e il m es plays Ben Hogan
''level" at the plush Seminole Club
in Palm Beach and even gave Ben
a handicap once.
Palmer, "A, son of q Latrobe, Pa.
professional, Milford (Deacon)
Palmer, is a medium-sized, muscu-
lar looking fellow with high cheek
bones and q face that seldom
breaks into . smile. He was yiFtu-
ally brought up on q golf course
and hardly took time out to attend
Wake Forest College where he
won the first Atlantic Coast Con-
ference title last spring-and to
serve in the Coast Guard where
he also played golf.
They never had played each
other before today and hardly knew
each other except to exchange an
occasional nod around q golf
course.
Palmer, drawn In the toughest
quarter of the draw, had to dispose
of internationalists Stranahan and
Don Cherry and then went 80 holes
matching the record length for
amateur championship matches, to
turn back his 37-year-old towns
man, Ed Meister, in yesterdays
Semifinal.
Sweeny, last man of the tee ev-
cry day, didn't meet q prominent
player on his way to the last
round. His semifinal opponent, DR..
Ted Lenczyk, never before had
qualified for the national and al
ways had played in the shadow of
his sister, Grace. Sweeny, winner
Of the British Amateur II years
ago, simply crushed him by and
1 margin.

eller Aims For World Series Win, 18th No Hitter

Feller hasn't given up hope of
ending his career with 800 or more
victories but he admitted that goal
is very remote.
eff it weren't for the war" he
said whimsically, "I'd probably be
striving for 400 victories. And I'd
almost certainly have been way out
in front with more than $500
strikeouts. Based on the games /
won before and after my four
years in service, ! figure I'd have
won 100 more games and added
1000 strikeoutS. But I'm not COM
planning. I'd do the same thing
again."

is a mite dubious about the Mil
waukee Braves pennant chances.
"Pm not counting them out, un-

the New York Giants, currently Z
games ahead of the third-place
Braves and 31z ahead Of second

"But the statistics are against

The Giants beat the Braves, 81,
last night on Sal Maglie's five-hit-

a record turnout of 6,944.

Braves Manager Charlie Grimm
admitted the road to the pennant
wasn't any easier after losing 10
the Giants.
''We're still in it, though, I"
Grimm said. '''They gotta knock us
out to beat US and they haven't

Cross Is Burned at Home
Of School Superintendent
BY the Associoted Press

LEXINGTON, KY, May 19.-
A cross, apparently a symbol of
resentment to the Supreme
Courts segregation ruling, was
attached to the front of the home
of City School Supt. John M.
Ridgway's home and burned last
night.
On Monday. a few minutes
after the court ruled that segre-
cation of races in public schools
was unconstitutional, Mr.. Ridg-
way said he felt it would make
relatively little difference" to
the city school system, where
schools are located in relation
to the pupils they serve. He did
not elaborate on his statement.
Heat from the 10-foot- high
cross bliStered the paint on the
front door and metal railing be-
fore firemen could pull it away.
Mr.. Ridgway said he definitely
believed the burning cross was
connected with statements he
made Monday concerning the
courts ruling. He said he also
had received two calls from un-
identified persons objecting to
mixing of students.

In Paris, the ,neutralist LIE

unfavorably.

In Capetown, the pro-Malar
paper Die Burger said the most
important baStion in Americas
color bar policy now has fallen
and the courts ruling has started
serious and lengthy internal
conflict, the forms Of which are
not foreseeable."
Commenting on the effect the
ruling will have in South Africa
Die Burger said it now can be
expected both the United States
and Britain will, with the zeal
of the reformed sinner" begin
putting pressure on the white
leaders of that country to bring
their ideas on the color issue into
line with the new theology.
This theology would be one
of national suicide for South
Africa" the paper said.

The Nation wide interest in

so many day and night tele-
phone calls in Atlanta that he
finally gave the phone-answer-

Maryland Expected
To End Race Bars in
Schools Next Year
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, May 19.-Attor-
ney General Edward D. E. Rol-
Inns said yesterday nothing can
be accomplished until next year"
by Maryland, in following q
Supreme Court decision to elm
mate segregation in public
schools.
How and when de-segregation
takes place will be solved finally
by the Supreme Court in supple
mental rulings of the court in
the late fall. Nothing can be &C
complished until next year, fol-
lowing the courts final rulings, :"
Mr.. Rollins said.
He added, when these ques-
tions and problems are finally
resolved by the court, however,
Maryland. under the leadership
of Gov. McKeldin, will comply
with the directives of the Su-
preme Court without equivoca-
ton"
Mr.. Rollins called for "the
application of tolerance and
common sense" and said he
hoped 1--WE can use it and apply
1t to these problems and their
solution to the satisfaction of
ALL"
Mr.. Rollins, along with his
deputy, j. Edgar Harvery, and
two assistant Attorneys General,
w. Giles Parker and Ambrose
T. Hartman, attended the Mon
day Supreme Court session when
the historic decree was handed
down.
Maryland'S attorney general
said he would accept the invi-
tation of the Supreme Court to
participate in the new discus
Sions relative to the questions
whether the court should order
immediate de-segregation in the
public schools or gradual adjust
ment of the complicated prob
lens resulting from the decision;
or whether the court should
make specific DEGREES or permit
the problems to be worked out
in the lower Federal courts"
He added he planned to con-
suit promptly on the matter
with Gov. McKeldin and the
State Board of Education.

Segregation Ruling
Receives Good Press
In Non-Red World
BY the Associoted Press

LONDON, May 49, The
American Supreme Court deci-
sion outlawing segregation in
United States public schools has
won a good press over the nom
Communist world, something the
United States frequently doesn't
get.
In India, seat of much anti
American feeling, non Red mem
bers of Parliament acclaimed the
decision as unanimously as the
judges had ruled. The power
full Indian Express chain of
newspapers in New Delhi, Bonn
bay and Madras welcomed the
ruling as a healthy change in
enlightened American opinion"
Other Indian papers gave the
news big headlines though they
did not comment editorially at
once.
Communists Silent.
The Communist press gave the
whole business the silent treat
ment. There was no mention
of the action in Red papers
which have criticized racial seq
regation and the color line in the
United States.
One Communist member of
the Indian Parliament COM
mented in New Delhi: "One Of
those capitalistic eyewashes
which mean nothing for the
Negro"
Columnist Don Iddon of Lon
don's conservative Daily Mail,
writing from New York, said the
ruling has helped to spike the
Communist propaganda that
Americans treat their colored
people like dogs and worse. It
is a beacon light to the Asiatics
in Korea, Indo-China and the
entire Far Fest"
Ranked with Emancipation.
Another London paper, the
frequently anti-American tab
loid Daily Mirror. had said the
