DETROIT, July 22.-Clarence
Doser had a short-lived thrill to
remember from the National
PGA golf championships even
though he was eliminated by
Gene Sarazen, 6 and 4, in the
Woodmont pros opening match
today.
Doser's match with Sarazen
was q battle Of veterans. with
their ages totaling 90. Sarazen,
who was three under par for the
round, is So and Doser. who was
three over par when the match
ended, is 46.
However, one Of the prettiest
sights Doser has seen lately is
that birdie putt that faltered,
then disappeared into the cup
on the first hole Of the playoff
in yesterdays qualifying round.
That putt clinched a berth for
Doser in the match play.
But a sight Charley Bassler
will remember with regret for
many days is the tee shot thai
hooked out Of bounds on the Sec
ond hole of the playoff and cost
him a match-play berth.
Doser had 75-72 for lat. and
Bassler 74-73. There were II
pros with scores Of lat who
played off for seven places. Doser
had one of three brides on the
first hole and three others had

The NAACP was disappointed
that none OF the liberal Senator's
offered an amendment to the bill.
Instead, a few of them includ-
ing Wayne Morse, Herbert Leh-
man, and Humphrey, engaged in
a discussion with Senator Russell
Dem, Ca on the subject of race
segregation in the National
Guard. Humphrey, however, also
issued a strong statement in addi-
ton which was printed in the
Congressional Record.
Russell said because of the race
indignation policy to which he is
opposed in the Federal military
establishment there would be no
race segregation in the Ready
Reserve. He defended race segre-
cation in the National Guard and
said II was not discrimination TO
require separate units in the mill
tary in his opinion.
Northern liberal Senators, both
Democrats and Republicans told
Clarence Mitchell of the NAACP
Washington Bureau that Presi-
dent Eisenhower's attack on the
Powell non-discrimination amend
ment as extraneous made success
of any anti-Jimcro amendment
impossible.

Of segregation in the National

careful, thoughtful soul-search-
ing to the advisability Of offering
