New Peacock Gives Pros
Second Lesson of Week

The new Roger Peacock. a sur
prise qualifier for the National
PGA championship on Monday,
showed his heels to the area pros
again yesterday with a II in the
Woodmont Pro-Member tourna-
ment.
Peacock's golf now is a matter
of pride. After that fine 1911
lover the James River course at
Newport News, which won him
a trip to the PGA in Boston, he
has a new outlook on the game
the same he had as an amateur
He has found his way to the
practice tee and approaches tour
nament golf in a more serious
manner. When he finished yes
terday he was not elated that he
had won, but was sizzling because
he missed three-footer for a
birdie on the 18th hole.
He was told that he didn't need
the putt, but insisted he should
have made it anyway. The Sligo
Park pro birdied 10, II and 16
on the back nine to offset a pair
iof three-putt greens, and was low
by a stroke.
DOdges Five-Way Tie
He lodged a five-way tie at Y.
The par shooters were Clarence
Doser. the host pro, still weak
from a virus attack; Charley
Easton of Congressional, Walter
Romans of Baltimore C. c., who
birdied the 18th, and Charley
Bassler of Rolling Road.
/ Bassler, who also qualified for
the PEA, was one under par
through Is holes, driving the ball
beautifully, when ne hit one of
his brainstorms. On hole where
the drive is the big shot, he duck
hooked one out of bounds and
took seven. He birdied the 18th
for the par round.
Lou CORN tied for first in the
pro-member play with Andy Glib
son OF the c. c. of Maryland, but
he, too, was unhappy. A nine
handicap player, CORN was even
par through Is holes and had his

WDGA Cup to Mrs. Huuqen
In Class DCompetitive Debut

The Women's District Golf
Association Class D players, the
1924 handicap group, opened
their tournament schedule at
Belle Haven yesterday and pro-
duced as WDGA Cup winner a
player who was making her COM
petitive debut, Mrs. Ingwald o.
Haugen.
Mrs. Haugen is chairman of
the Women's Golf Committee at
Court House, but had not been
eligible for city tournaments be-
fore this year. She reduced her
handicap two strokes in the last
10 days. and it will come down

Deane Beman, who is making
a runaway of the 23d Schoolboy
Invitation tournament, impresses
his elders the most by the way
he plays Chevy Chase and Co.
lumbia, two fine tests of cham
pionship golf.
And it is no consolation to
Carl Lohren, Beman's opponent
in the Sunday afternoon final,
that the match will be at Co.
luInbia. 1t will start at $3.50.
Beman, who has had a 81

play competition. was five under
par for Is holes there yesterday
in 7 and 5 victory over a
Bethesda High teammate, Bobby
Lerner.
Lohren. who is having trouble
with his driver, was six over par
in defeating Manly Parks OF
Friends, 4 and 2. Lohren is from
Montgomery Blair.
Played Last Year
Beman and Lohren met in the
first round Of the schoolboy
championship last year and
Beman won, 3 and /, en- route
to the title. They were supposed
to play last week in the Bethes-
da-Blair match, but Blair jock
eyed its players in a strategic
move and Lohren played in the
third position.
Beman has qualified for the
National Open at Columbia, won
the Member-Guest tournament
there last year, and was three
under par there when he beat

Public Works Review

School Superintendent Cornings ur-
gent request for Federal loans to finance
tagging school construction has given i'm
petuS to tentative plans for comprehen-
sive restudy of the District public works
program. DR.. Corning is concerned off,
cially only with the need for more class
rooms But schools are not alone in suffer-
ing from the current financial crisis in
Washington. Most phases of the long
range public works plan which Congress
approved two years ago, amid widespread
community acclaim, are behind schedule.
A review Of the whole program, including
It's fiscal aspects, is In order-and soon.
Some preliminary work looking to-
ward such review was begun recently
at the District Building. But any UNI
dertaking involving major changes in
the programme painstakingly developed
with the valuable aid Of citizens commit
tees-ought to be another Joint District
Building-civic group effort. This is so

Vice Admiral Ralph A. Ofstie was
among the small group of naval aviation
pioneers who helped to put wings on the
Navy. When he graduated from the Naval
Academy in 1918 military aviation was in
It's infancy. His brief World War serv-
ice was in destroyers. But after the war
he was ordered to the developing Naval
Air Station at Pensacola for fight train
ing-and that marked the start of
career in the air that saw naval warfare
revolutionized. AS daring and enthusi-
astic young flyer, Ralph OfStie played an
important role in the metamorphosis.
AS test pilot of fast fighter craft,
Lieutenant Ofstie established several
world speed records for seaplanes and
otherwise helped to crash through the
traditional barriers which the old Navy
had raised against flying machines. He
and other air-minded officers fought
long but gradually successful battle to
give aviation its rightful place in the.
feet. And he won numerous medals dur
ing World War II and the Korean War
in command Of important elements Of
the new air-minded Navy. His death at
the peak OF his naval career is a serious
loss 70 the Navy and deep personal loss
to his many friends, including those IN
the Washington area, where he was so
widely known.

Outer-BeIt Prooress

Further evidence that the Metro
politan Area circumferential highway is
moving rapidly from the drawing board
stage toward reality is seen in the ap-
proval by the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads of q tentative route for the Vir-
ginia arc Of the freeway. Until recently
the Virginia gap in the proposed outer
belt had been glazing one, with no indi-
cation OF any active interest in the prof.
ect by the State Highway Commission.
However, the commissions interest
in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. highway picked
up notably with passage of the Federal
Interstate Highway Act by the past Con-
greSs. That act authorized Federal aid
up to 80 per cent of the cost of any high
way designated by the Bureau of Public
Roads as essential to interstate commerce.
An inquiry by Virginia officials as to pos
sible eligibility of the circumferential
road for a 80 per cent Federal contribu-
ton prompted them to file an application
for aid, based on a tentative route curv-
ing through Fairfax County between the
proposed Jones Point and Cabin John
bridges. The tentative plan has been APP
proved, subject to more detailed sur
vey, which will start Immediately.
With Maryland already at work on
its portion of the outer belt and with the
District ready to proceed with its own
approach to the Jones Point bridge, the
prospects for completion in few years
of the circular bypass around the District
are brighter than at any time in the past.

Nehru and Hunoory

1t is at once gratifying and highly
significant that Prime Minister Nehru of
India has at last taken a flrmer stand
against Russia's armed intervention In
Hungary. He has done this in response
to widespread domestic criticism Of his
earlier attitude-an attitude in which he
seemed to be relatively tolerant of the
iron-f1sted Soviet action while going all
out In his castigation of the lamentable
and ill-starred Anglo-French adventure
against Egypt.
But now Mr.. Nehru has put things In
balance by criticizing the Russians almost
as strongly as he has criticized the British
and French. Thus, in speech to the
Parliament at New Delhi, he has told the
Kremlin that it's prestige throughout the
world has been hit hard by the Hungarian
repression and that the United Nations
should be permitted to send observers
into the battered country as step toward
helping to restore order and peace.
Moreover, by implication at least, he has
suggested that Soviet troops be with
drawn at the earliest possible moment.
This constitutes a major revision of
the Nehru governments past point Of
view. And it is a revision that has already
made itself felt in the U. NJ, where India
i'm concert with Ceylon and Indonesia-
has put forward a resolution calling upon
the Kremlin's Budapest regime to grant
Secretary General Hammarskjolds re-
quest for the admission of a peace-pro-
noting team of observers. These three
Far Eastern neutrals have heretofore held
themselves more or less aloof from the
issue, but now that they have thrown
their weight in support Of one Of the
important steps favored by the majority,
they have taken positive position that
Is being emulated by some other mem
bers Of the Asian-African bloc.
Here is development that must come
as something of shock to the men Of the
Kremlin, and conceivably 1t may help to
persuade them to cooperate with the
U. NJ in an attempt to end the Hungar-
ian crisis. Up to now, bitterly denying
charges that they have been resorting to
mass deportation Of rebels, they have in
sisted that the uprising is an internal"
affair in which they are working with the
Budapest regime solely to re-establish
peace as prelude to Withdrawing their
troops. If this is really so, however, why
don't they join with the United Nations
in Joint effort to bring reason to bear
upon the situation?
Actually, looked at strictly from Mos
cows viewpoint, the Hungarian action
may at one time have seemed essential
to Russia'S safety. But 1t has gone very
badly for the Soviet leaders, propagan-
distically and otherwise, and some Of
them may now feel that Nhey are riding
a tiger they would like to get off of.
Should that be the case, then they ought
to welcome help from the u N. For with
such help, plus whatever security guar
antees may be needed, and plus a bridling
Of passions all around, 1t should be pos
sible for international craftsmanship to
find an acceptable way out Of this heart
rending tragedy.

Oil and Free Europe

Not only Britain and France, but all
of Western Europe must now carefully
ration oil and gasoline in a way that is
bound to have an adverse effect on indus
trial production, transportation and the
heating of many millions of homes. This
bleak situation has been made inevitable
by the failure of the reckless Anglo
French military gamble in Egypt, and it
threatens to remain bleak for months to
come-even under the best of circum-
stances.
The best of circumstances, of course,
do not yet exist. Nor will they exist
unless two things happen: (1) Unless all
Anglo-French forces are withdrawn from
Egypt and ~ unless the NasSer govern
ment, together with the Arab world in
general, co-operates with the United
Nations in a statesmanlike effort to
stabilize the present situation, reopen
the Suez Canal, repair the pipelines and
lay the groundwork for genuine peace
settlement. Meanwhile, the enormous
amount of oil normally imported from
the Middle East by Western Europe is not
flowing, and the free European economies
accordingly face difficulties Of the first
magnitude.
It was because it feared just such
q consequence that the United States
Solemnly urged Britain and France not to
embark on their Egyptian military ex-
petition. But they would not listen. In
stead, without bothering to inform us
of their decision and in spite of our known
opposition to armed intervention, they
went ahead with their go-it-alone gamble.
So it Is supremely ironical that there are
some among them who now tend to
criticize our country for not being ready
to deliver to them, forthwith, the vast
quantities Of oil needed to make up for
the normal supplies that have been cut
of as result of the folly of their action
in the Middle East.
But this is not a good time for recrim-
nations. Western Europe'S economies,
which have been wonderfully rebuilt with
the help of billions of American dollars,
cannot be allowed to suffer major set
back. Our own vital national interests
demand that everything possible be done
to prevent any such development. To-
gether with other countries of this hemi-
sphere, the United States should be able
to ship enough oil over there to keep the
industrial machine going reasonably well
until the Suez Canal and the pipelines
of the Middle East are in normal opera
ton again. There is, no doubt, plan on
paper of how this can be done. AS to
the fact that 1t will be done, in the face
of an extraordinary number of compli-
cations, we have no doubt.

YLSTAS IN SCIENCE
Here's What's COOKING in Outer Space
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

ments Of similar atomic
weight. At about twice this
temperature, iron and nickel,
with a few other like elements,
result. At this stage, DR.. Hoyle
says. the elements titanium,
vanadium, chromium and CO.
bait come into existence. The
relative abundance of all the
elements upward from hydro
gen to the iron family in the
known universe has been cali
culated and agrees quite we'll
with what would be expected
from the cooking process.
Now, in the hot stars today.
DR.. Hoyle points out, pure hy-
drogen seldom will be the en-
tire cooking material. 1t is
bound to be contaminated
with all sorts of other elements
previously created, which are
like spices in the cosmic brew.
From such mixtures result
various isotopes, or off-weight
forms, Of such substances as
carbon, nitrogen, sodium and
probably iron. A considerably
more complicated cooking
process is required for the Gre
alton of elements heavier than
iron, such as uranium.
Uranium Tells Tale
All the elements must be
produced in the hot interiors
of stars. The various proc
esses, DR.. Hoyle says, can ac-
count for all the light elements
except lithium, beryllium and
boron. There is now evidence,
according to the report, that
these can be formed by inter-
actions Of protons and alpha
particles familiar as disinte-
grafton products Of radium, in
hot spots on star surfaces.
Says the report: IF we sup
pose the elements of which the
earth is composed were not all
built at one moment Of time
but were built at q uniform
rate, starting at the time of
origin Of the galaxy and ex-
tending almost up to the for
nation of the solar system
some five billion years ago,
then using the ratio of ura-
mum isotopes found at present
in the earth, the age of the
galaxy can be calculated. It is
about seven and a half billion
years.
Finally, since production Of
heavy elements is a by-product
of ordinary thermal cooking
that depends on adulteration
of hydrogen out of which a
star forms. it is to be expected
that these elements will be
syntheSized in abundances that
are very low compared with
the ordinary products of ther-
NAL cooking, such as oxygen,
silicon and iron. This is pre-
cisely the case"
