BALTIMORE, Oct. 10 R.-
Frank Styanahan. who explained
he became a professional golfer
because it means more" than
playing as an amateur. clutched
q $4,000 check today to prove his
point.
The 33-year-old golfer from
Toledo. Ohio. picked up the VIC
tors booty yesterday in the ST.
500 Eastern Open over the Mount
Pleasant course.
He couldn't have chosen q
more dramatic spot for his first
victory as q pro after years Of
successful campaigning In the
amateur ranks.
It was the last tournament on
the 1855 professional trail and
Frank didn't cinch 1t until he
dropped his final putt in the "a
hole event.
That stroke gave him a l-un-
der-par II for the last round
and $50 for the route, enabling
him to finish one ahead Of Art
Wall. jr.. Of Pocono Manor. Pa.
"Ah. it's wonderful" Frank
said.
Besides winning the "World"
amateur title four times and q
flock Of other amateur titles he
had actually beaten the pros in
four open tournaments dating
back to the 1916 Durham Open.
But he remained an amateur
until q year ago and this was
his first successful bid for cash.
Playing as Q pro means more
to me because ] know I'm out
there every day trying to beat
the best there Is" he said.
"As an amateur you may play
in an open tournament with the
pros. but you are not really COM
peting with them. You know
you don't have to beat them.
that you just have to beat the
other amateurs to win.
But when you are q pro your
self, believe me, 1t makes all the
difference in the world. Then
you know it's going to be tough

Bombs Fu||oUt Effect Outlined

A matter-o -of-fact approach
to the effects Of A-bombs and
. H-bombs was made last night
by DR.. Phillip w. Swain, who
said those effects are no more
difficult to predict and assess
than those of cancer, heart
trouble or traffic accidents.
Speaking to a meeting of the
District Business and Profess
sional Women's Club in the

Association Building, he de-
clared such an approach will
lead to conclusions directly
opposite to popular impress
sions, one being that the H
bomb reduces the usefulness of
ordinary shelters.
DR.. Swain, a consulting edi-
tor of Power Magazine, said
that for any bomb. large or
small, "the B zone of 80 per
cent fatalities with warning)
has three times the area of the
central A zone where rs per

MiddIebvrg Hunter
Trials Saturday
By Dolores Phillips

MIDDLEBURG, Va, March
17.-1f this Saturday is as
beautiful as last. the Middle
burg Hunter Trials should
bring out enough contestants
to the Freddie Warburgs' estate
near Middleburg to please the
most forebearing crowd.
Based on manners. per-
formance and way-of-going.
hunter trials are sometimes
more of trial to those watch
ing than those riding. There
is nothing spectacular in the
offing. as speed is not an
element. There are no races
and seldom a fall. but by the
end of the day practically
every good and true hunter
from the surrounding hunts
has had a chance to show off
and to be judged.
On Saturday. riders from the
Middleburg Hunt, the Piedmont
Hounds, Warrenton Hunt, LOU
doun Hunt, Orange County,
Casanova, Blue Ridge and the
Marlboro Hunt from MARYLAND
will have their day. The win
ming number will be drawn for
the fat 14-hand pony donated
by the Stephan Clarks, jr.
Later. the inner circle will go
up to Buchanan Hall in Upper
vile for a subscription dinner.
Perfect Weather
The Blue Ridge point-to-
point last Saturday stunned
Clarke county natives, not be-
cause of the caliber of the
races, which are always of the
highest, but because of the CO.
operative weather. For the
past few years Blue Ridge has
picked a day that combined
every bad element that the
heavens could produce, but
Saturday was perfect. The
races started a few minutes
after the last hunter-pace
event ended in the. Graham
Doughertys' back pasture. but
moved over to the natural
course in front of the lovely
old manor house.
