AUGUSTA, Ga, April IL
Ken Ventura was being inter-
viewed almost an hour before
Arnold Palmer's unforgettable
finish in the Masters yester-
day, and was making such
comments as Il haven't won
it yet" or IF I should win
it," etc. But he thought he
had won it. and so did every
body else in the stuffy room.
At his position on the
course at the time the Ventura
interview started, Palmer
needed a birdie to tie and two
to win, but he was running
out of potential birdie holes,
And when Charley Yates ap-
peared in the door and said,
He pared 15," and then he
pared 16,' Ventura must have
felt better.
But when the roar that
greeted Palmer's birdie putt
penetrated through the walls
of the clubhouse at Augusta
National, Ventura had a slightly
uneasy look. And when some
body yelled He holed a o.

Station WTOP-9 will carry
the game, which begins al

The change was made be-
cause the demand for tickets

they had to reject thousands

A wave of weekend buying

Star Staf Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga, April IL
Arnold Palmer has II years in
which to match the regulations
of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead,
and you have to like his
chances. He proved in winning
his second Masters champion
ship yesterday that he's a bold,
fearless golfer with amazing
strength and the heart of a
lion
The 30-year-old son of a
golf pro from Latrobe, Pa, de-
fed as much pressure as the
world of sports can produce
when he finished birdie-birdie
at Augusta National. one of
the worlds great golf courses,
to win a championship that
had been all but conceded to
Ken Ventura.
A national televiSiOn audi
ence and what must have been
the largest gallery ever to see
single golf shot got a tre-
mendouS thrill when Palmer
smacked a 6-iron shot within
6 feet of the pin on the 18th
hole, and then holed the VIM
ming birdie putt after request
ing that the annoying grind of
cameras be stilled.
Unbelievable Finish
The bronZed, strong armed
Palmer staged an unbelievable
finish to become the second
player in Masters history to
lead at the end of all four
rounds. With his 67-73-72-70
rounds he totaled 282, six under
par and one shot under the
disappoint Ventura. Craig Wood
led all four rounds in l94l.
Palmer pocketed Sl7.500 in
winning his fifth tournament
Of the year and, with 7l2 lu-
crative months to go, he al
ready has won more money
(S44,l75) than for all of 1858
when he was the PGA's leading
money winner with $42, ,607. The
Masters paid off S87050, Sec
ond only to the 100000 pay
offs of the old Tam O'Shanter
tournaments in Chicago.
Another crushing gallery of
more than 10000 flowed over
the Sloping hills of Augusta
National. And in the late
stages of one of the most dra-
matte finishes in golf history,
the throng was divided about
half-and-half between the Ven-
turi-Dow Fihsterwald twosome
and Palmer and Billy Casper,
1859 National Open champion.

that "the said area upon acquisi-
ton shall be developed and main

Virgin Islands as an historical

Guiding the provision of public
swimming and beach use facili-
ties on the northern and southern
sides Of the peninsula, and facili-

Since all parties concede that
the providing of public parks and

that the taking is for a proper pub
lie purpose & that land at the place
& in the amounts specified by the
Legislature is needed for that pur

it IS not necessary to go that far.
For certainly the legislative en-
actment establishes prima facie,
and unless and until a clear and
very strong showing is made to
the contrary, that the taking, as
thus authorized, in its entirety
will be the taking of a tract
needed for a proper public pur-
pose. That conclusion at least is
required by the decision of this

ON RIGHT or TAKING
BY EMINENT DOMAIN
William H. Haste. Circuit Judge
(Filed August IL, 1860

In this condemnation case de-
PENDANTS Frederick Oman and
John T. Burr, owners Of record
Of the tract in suit, and Robert
B. George and Elizabeth Starr
George, who claim an interest IS
mortgages, have denied t h e
right of plaintiff, Government of
the Virgin Islands, to acquire by
eminent domain a certain 50.05
acre tract of land at Salt River,
st. Croix, to "be developed and
maintained by the Government OF
the Virgin Islands as an historical
and public recreational area" Ac-
cordingly, at this preliminary
stage of the case the defendants
are seeking dismissal of the ac-
ton on the ground that it is an
effort to accomplish an Illegal
taking, while the government IS
seeking an interlocutory order es-
tablishing its right to take the
parcel. thus clearing the way for
a second stage Of litigation in
which the, fair value of the land
will be determined in manner
F -.
precribed by law.
The defendants have offered
evidence and presented argu-
ments of law in an effort to show
that the proposed taking is not
necessary, is not for a proper
public purpose and, in any event,
embraces a larger tract than
needed for any legitimate public
use. The courts findings on the
basis of the evidence thus adj
mitted will appear in the course
of this opinion.
In Chapter 19 of Title 20 of the
Virgin Islands Code there has
been enacted a statutory scheme
for the condemnation of land by
the local government for public
uses. In addition, the legislature
has specially and specifically
authorized the present condemna-
ton in Act No. $50, I'd Legisla-
ture, approved July I, 1853. Sess.
Laws of 1858. 100. In this statute

understanding designate the inlet
or lagoon called Salt River, which
indents the northern shore of st.
Croix, as the first place where
Columbus tried to land in this
hemisphere. This attempted land
ing was repulsed by hostile abor-
gines and Columbus resumed his
journey westward. In these cir
cumstances, great and unique his
toric interest and significance at
tach to the inlet and the land adj
jacent to it. Since this inlet con-
titutes most of the frontage of the
tract in suit, and the depth and
acreage of the SO acre tract are
appropriate and not extraordi-
large for the establishment
of a park and recreational area
adjacent to the bay, it is difficult
to imagine a showing which
would make the selection of this
tract for a historical and recrea-
tional public area arbitrary.
The factual showing made by
the defendants indicates and the
court finds that only about five
acres of the tract in suit have
been found to contain Carib arti-
facts and appear to contain sites
of aboriginal settlements; that a
small plot of about one acre of
ground near and overlooking Salt
River has already been given to
the government with a view to
its use as a Columbus memorial:
that the shore of Salt River and
the bottom beneath its marginal
waters are rocky and do not pre-
constitute an attractive
and swimming area; that
the tract sought by the govern
ment does not contain any sub
stantial number of trees of such
kind and size as would afford
shade for picnics and
other outings. The court has ex-
as prevalent an offer of
the defendants to prove that the
government owns a number of
other undeveloped sites in Saint
Croix suitable for recreational
area, but not connected with the
voyage of Columbus.
In its entirety the showing thus
made and proposed by the de-
PENDANTS fails to establish that
the Legislature acted arbitrarily
in its decision to acquire the SO
acres in suit and to develop this
Salt River site as a historical and
recreational public area. Accord
ingly, the court concludes that
The Legislature has duly author
lied the acquisition of the tract in
question for a proper public pur-
pose, and that the conclusion of
the Legislature that the entire
5O.05 acres is needed for the deve-
lopment of an appropriate histo-
rical and public recreational area

or less than z 1000. However, the
court believes and rules that de-
cision on all questions raised in
this connection should and will
be postponed until q later stage
Of this litigation. If the pre-
scribed procedure for determin-
ing the fair value of property in
condemnation cases results here
in a final decision that the value
is less than $4,000. the diffclll-
ties anticipated bv the defendants
will not arise. If the fair value
of the tract is found to be more

the defendants point out that
even if this court should find fair
value to be less than $4,000, that
amount can be increased on an
peal. However. Section 400 ex-
presslv authorizes the court f.

expressed doubt as to the valid
ity of this new enactment. There
is no reason to believe that this
section will in anv wav aHect the
curse Of the present filtration
and. therefore, no opinion is ex-
pressed concerning it.
The court has not overlooked an
additional objection made by GER
tain defendants that under the
statutory scheme for condemns
ton there has already been an
uncompensated taking" of pro-
perty in this case. The reasoning
seems to be that the verv .iline
of this suit interferes with the
normal freedom of an owner to
use and dispose of his property.
But such interference is inherent
in all condemnation PROCEEDINGS.
No case has been cited or found
which supports the view that the
condemnation action itself consti-
tutes a taking. The court finds nc
