The three major prizes of the
Women's District Golf Associa-
tion's season are the city cham
pionship, the first team title and
the Keefer Cup, and right now
Argyle Country Club is the home
of all three, for what is believed
to be a first-time achievement
Mrs. Frank Cush, captain OF
Argyle's first team, added the
third title yesterday when she
won the Keefer Cup with rounds
Of SO and SO, minus z handicap
strokes each round for net ISL
Chevy Chase has been the
lucky course for Argyle's women
golfers this season. Lucille
Busch won the District champs
onship there. Mrs. Cnsh the
Keefer Cup, and Argyle started
its march to the first team title
with an 81a-1a triumph over
Chevy Chase, the match that
uncovered Argyle as q threat.
Mrs. Cush, q flaming ,red-
head, has excellent timing on
her long shots and hits the ball
as far as any Of the women
golfers in town. But she has
been inconsistent. In the past.
two or three bad holes a round
have ruined her medal play
scores. The 36 holes OF the
Keefer Cup were her two best
rounds in a row.
The Chevy Chase course
proved q tonic for Mrs. Jack
Smith Of Prince Georges. who
pulled out Of a self-confessed
slump to win low gross honors
with 81 -82-163. Mrs. Cush had
the next best gross total, but as
the cup winner was ineligible,
and Mrs. Richard johnson of
the host club won second gross
with 89-84-173.
Mrs. John Connolly Of Wash
ington G8zCC was runnerup with
SO and 85 for 174, minus 10
handicap strokes each round for
154, three strokes back of the
winner. The first-day leader,
Mrs. H. H. Staehling Of Manor,
dropped back to 81 after her
opening So and was at 156 net
along with Mrs. Harold Lewis Of
Prince Georges.
In winning her first Glass A
cup Mrs. Cush had 42-40 the
first round and 43-4O the second.

free-for-all today as the field
started the second round over
the tree-dotted. hilly and stream
criss-crossed course.
Headed by veteran Denny
Shute. who shot 31-35--66 in
yesterdays opening round, As
contenders were massed in the
par-or-under bracket with 81
holes to play. All of them. and
some who were above the regu-
lation figure, were rated a chance
to take home the top prize.
Some Of the experts were
pointing the "favorite" finger at
Freddie Haas, the 1anky club
designer from New Orleans, who
opened with .35-32-67 for sec
ond place. In last years final

yesterday, and played the first
hole in his street shoes, scoring
an eagle by sinking a l40-yard
approach.
That sent him on his way to
the lead, Haas missing a 6-foot
putt for tie on the final hole.
Last year Shute had 71-72-T1-
72-286 for the four-day route
here. while Haas closing SO gave
him $50 and a tie for fourth

The big casualty in the first
round was Jimmy Clark. the ex-
Marine from Huntington Beach,
Calf, who was disqualified for
posting a wrong score after tying
Shute for the lead with 32-34-

consecutive holes when he actu-
ally shot 5-3.

Russia, Britain,
India React To
Hydrogen Blast

LONDON, LR-Moscow Radio
said Friday the hydrogen bomb
has increased the need for an
international ban on atomic war
fare.
The broadcast, quoting the Com
munist Party organ Pravda,
linked Russia's surprise March 81
bid to join NATO to "the fact that
the destructive power of the at
Cmic weapon is necessarily in
creasing and in addition to this
the hydrogen weapon has APP
peared whose power surpasses
many times the power Of the
atomic weapons"
Russia has long clamored for an
immediate ban on atomic Wea-
pons but has refused to agree to
Western demands that it be pre-
coded by establishment of an eff
fective system Of inspection to
ensure compliance
In Asia, Indian Prime Minister
Nehru called on the United States
and Russia for an immediate
"standstill" on hydrogen bomb
explosions pending progress to-
ward elimination of mass destruc-
ton weapons. In speech to the
lower house of the Indian Paria-
ment, he also demanded an i'm
mediate meeting of the long-dead-
locked U.N. Disarmament Com
mission on the question.
In anxious Britain, Prime Min
lister Churchill called a cabinet
meeting for Monday at which the
government will decide its atti-
tude toward a Labor Party motion
urging an immediate high-level
conference between Britain, the

This is the first time, however,
that the Senate has passed such
a bill. In the past the Senate has
