Lynch Boriner Match
Heads Play Today in
Mid-AfIantic Tennis
By Casper Names

The age-old struggle between
veteran and rising young star
vii be repeated today In the fifth
round of the Middle Atlantic
clay courts tennis champion
ships when Hugh Lynch Of
Washington faces Bobby Bortner
Of Richmond and the University
of North Carolina.
Bortner, 10. furnished the
fireworks In yesterdays play at
the Edgemoor Club by beating
the Canadian star, Don Plat. in
the morning and Ramsey Potts
in the afternoon. He won the
first match after q torrid three
set battle. 6-3. rs, g., and
rushed through the second. 6-1,
6-1. Bortner has a powerful
delivery. a sharp net attack and
good ground strokes. His vic
tories served notice that he must
be considered as a title threat.
Platt yesterday was named as
one Of the four players to rep
resent Canada in the Davis Cup
zone match against Chile July
15-17 at Toronto.
Misses in Pinches.
Bortner and Plat had an ex-
citing contest, with. the Cana
dian possessing the better ground
strokes but losing his advantage
by missing easy shots at critical
times. Bortner broke through
his opponent In the final set for
a AZ lead. IN the next game
Platt went to, 0-4O and appeared
sure to make the vital break.
But the Canadian missed a cou-
pie Of fairly easy shots, Bortner
made an amazing volley for the
point in one rally and went on to
capture 5 points in a row for the
game. He then closed out the
match on his own serve.
An upset was scored by Philip
Neff of Washington. who beat
Bobby Payne Of Richmond,
seeded fifth. 8-6, 1-6, Ga.
Neff's consistency of the ground
and his good lobbing- nullified
Payne's hard delivery and dy-
manic but cratic net play.

Gives Footer Longest
Mateh-PIay Streak

DR.. Jerry Footer has the
longest streak of club cham

Since losing in the quarter
final around to Dave Workman
five years ago. DR.. Footer has
won 20 consecutive matches and
four championships.

he has played week ends mostly,
getting little tournament COM
petition except for the club
champions He was a mem
Der of Indian Spring for three
years before he joined Wood

DR.. Footer is a three-handicap
player and plays to it. He is
no better than even money
against a dozen or more Wood
mont members in the friendly
weekend matches, but he has a
knack of rising to the occasion
in the club championship.
In the title round yesterday
it was a close match for eight
holes. with DR.. Footer leading
only / up. Then he canned q
30-footer for a birdie on the
9th. a 40-foot putt on the 10th
and on the 18th barely missed
another long birdie putt but won
the hole anyway when Brylaw-
ski three-putted.

der par. He had four bogeys
and five brides. In the four
finals he has, beaten four diff

that the foreign ministers are

There is a temptation to take

nothing happened except for the
agreement to hold another con-

OF success than this one. That
impression would probably be
shared by most people who have
followed the four-power per-
Torrance through successive
stages from anticipation to
Illustration to boredom and the
fldgety wait for the final curtain.
And yet the Berlin Conference
cannot be written off so glibly.
The fact is there has never been

that did not have a powerful
effect on the course of world
history.

Government Workers
Denounce Scale Of

EmpIoye Council Renews
Coll for $500 Boost,

The AFL Government EN-

the administrations stand on

reiterated its demand for an
$500 annual increase.
The council. which represents
more than 100000 Government
classified and postal workers,
said Federal pay has Jagged con-
siderably behind rising living
costs and salary increases grant,
ed IN private industry.
The administration this week
asked Congress to approve a pay
Redistribution bill that would
provide a token raise averaging
about 500 for most postal work.
erS. A similar proposal is ex-
pected to be submitted to Con-
gress within the next few weeks
regarding classified employees.
Attack Postal Plan.
The council attacked the pos
tai Reconsideration pay plan. de-
claring that it was based on in
correct information.
The firm of George Fry and
Associates. a Chicago manage
ment engineering group, was
guilty of many paste errors in
making their study" the council
said.
Many postal installations were
only casually studied" the
council declared. Also, the coun-
Gil complained, the management
study failed to consult union
officials.
Proposals Called Absurd.
Some 'of the recommended
tions reached the point of alb
surdity," the councils statement
said. THE proposed pay in
creases contained in the plan
range from $40 a year to the
post office clerk and letter
carrier in Grade 3, up to an
increase of $3.50 for the post
master in the Chicago post
office"
The council said that further
study of Redistribution is needed
before Congress can act on that
type of legislature. Meanwhile,
it said, Congress should approve
a cost of living pay increase
for Government workers.
