engineers say. the yearly cost
will drop 100000 or 100000.
The Chicago Health Depart

2. 1.-THE present program de-

that it does not provide.
3. THE present program is

agricultural economy, instead Of

4. THE present program taxes

The Secretary spoke at q

National Guard Armory.
As President Eisenhower did
earlier in the convention, the
Secretary reminisced about the
old country store with its pickle
and cracker barrels.
The change to flexible price

limited in its effect on others,
he declared.
This is in essence moderate

Determined Practice
Makes Lucille Busch
DC. Golf Title Threat

Capt. Lucille Busch's 3-and-2
victory over Mrs. e. c. Ferriday.
jr.. the defending champion, in
the District women's golf cham
pionship yesterday was no fiuke.
Mrs. Ferriday naturally was
the favorite because she won last
year, twice had been medalist
in the tournament, it was her
home Chevy Chase course, and
generally she had a better rec
ord.
But Miss Busch had been
grooming her golf game for this
tournament. She first COM
manded attention with a 73 in
the women'S team matches at
Manor. Before and after that
the Air Force captain had been
spending an hour or two each
evening and q couple Of hours on
week ends hitting balls on q field
near her apartment in Virginia.
Helped by EastOn.
Shed hit the balls, chase them
and pick 'em up. AS one Of the
80 women members Of Argyle
who are members in their own
right, she had the privileges OF
the course on week ends.
Capt. Busch had built her
game under instructions from
Charley Easton, but when he
became teaching pro at Con-
greSsional, she lost an instructor.
But she kept on practicing.
When the match was over yes
terday she had par for a IS,
and from the fifth through the
18th holes at Chevy Chase, had
nine straight mems pars, seven
of them by dropping puts OF
from 5 to Is feet.
Mrs. Ferriday played good golf,
and finished the round for 78,
but it wasn't good enough. And
there were a number of players
and spectators who did not class
Miss Busch'S victory as too much
of an upset. Right now, she's
hitting the ball as well as any
body in the tournament. The
only thing against her is almost
Q complete lack Of tournament
experience.
Plays Mrs. KOshliek.
Today she met Mrs. r. j.
Koshliek of Army Navy. In other
matches after q day of true-to-
form play except for the elimi-
nation of Mrs. Ferriday, Betty
CARRIER, the 1852 winner, plays
Mrs. George Noble; Mrs. Charles
Egenroad, the medalist, plays
Mrs. Richard johnson, and Mrs.
J.. P. Trouchaud meets Elinor
Finckel.
Semifinals will be played to-
morrow and the title match
Friday ut 10 o'clock.
First round results:
