dead-tired Cary Middlecoff and

putting troubles as they opened
their 36-hole semifinal match in
the PGA tournament today at
Meadowbrook Country Club. It
was the first time the two have
met at match play.

Shelley Mayfield of Westbury.

Fred Hawkins, S and 4, yester-
day.
Today's winners meet for the
title over the 36-hole route
tomorrow.
Mayfleld went up on Ford by
winning the third when he faded
a 50-yard iron shot just Is inches
past the cup. He won the fourth
when Ford three-putted, but
Doug laid a six-iron within 4
feet to take No. with a birdie.
They halved the next three holes.
In what was regarded as the
big match, Bolt lost the first hole
with a bogey S, rolling a l0-foot
putt 7 feet past the cup after
taking three shots to reach the
green. Matters were squared
when Middlecoff three-putted
No. 2 for a bogey 6. Middlecoff
lost a great chance to win the
third when his 2-footer Tipped
the cup and both took bogey SIS.
Middlecoff won the fourth with
a birdie 3, dropping his second
shot to within 4 feet of the pin
while Bolt took a bogey S.

Lew was three over par for

the fact he had not been play

Burke ought to be a candidate
| for a pSychopathlc Waro after
losing that one to Middlecoff.
Not only was he up all day, five
at one time and dorrnie two,
but on the third extra hole he
hit a 10-foot putt that hit the
cup, spun around and stayed out.
Middlecoff was walking toward
Burke with his hand extended,
but drew it back when the putt
stayed out.
They'd better erect fioodlights
for that Middlecof Bolt match
today. Cary has gone back to
his pokey tactics and is lifting
his head eight times before he
hits each shot, lining up puts
with a surveyors delicacy, and
using the wipe-the-brow and
other dawdling techniques.
With an opponent of Middle
coff's stature, Bolt will bring out
his best Hollywood manner. He'll
strut and snarl and grimace and
take an hour over each putt
too. They may never finish.

but after their quarter-finals

ship yesterday at the Meadow

was the strongest player in the
game of golf today.
"He hits fewer bad shots than
anybody" Lew said. Fewer than
Snead or Hogan? somebody
asked. "Unquestionably." Lew
replied. Tom gets more club on
the ball and keeps it in play bet
ter than anybody in the game.
Look at his record" Worsham
continued. "Since he won his
first tournament a few years ago.
nobody has won more opens than
he has. Not the big ones, but
he's won more opens. He's been
close in the National Open two

Congress Leaves Dismal Record

the assistant parliamentarian
Of the House now Is to be paid.
This is the type Of negli-
gence which is inexcuSable In
a Congress which voted every
member an increase up to
$22. 500 and justices Of the Su-
preme Court up to $4,000 a
year. Undoubtedly they de-
served the increases, but one
would think that members Of
the Congress which has Just
gone home would have
thought about the salaries to
the generals and admirals
who are responsible for the
defense Of America and who
may at any moment be re-
quired to direct the men who
risk their lives in combat.
But the record Of legislation
that failed of passage is the
most conspicuous proof Of
what discord can do in the
Congress. Highway legislation
is needed badly II American
transportation is to be EN-
cient and adequate.
Bills to promote the health
of the Nation and to improve
social security were killed.
Also Federal aid to school
construction was withheld.
The important amendments
needed 20 improve the Taft
Hartley Act on labor-manage-
ment relations were aban-
doned. A program to , help
stabilize the farm economy,
with particular reference to
low-income groups, was rot
passed, though proposed by
the administration.
Wherever the Democrats
could embarrass the President.
they tried 60 do so. They went
along on foreign policy largely
because they feared greater
political injury If they didn't.
AS for 1856, divided govern
ment will be an issue. The

evidence Of how to stalemate
national progress on the do
mestic front by giving control
Of both houses to a party that
is not in sympathy with the
