Colonel, Rain Are Too Much
For Perky in Amoteur Final
By MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

Col. Ken Smith headed back
into the wild. blue yonder to-
day and Perky Cullinane head
ed for a physical checkup after
one of the strangest finals in
the 40 District Amateur golf
championships.
The Air Force pilot won, l
UP. in 81 holes at Bethesda
Country Club yesterday.
A binding rainstorm that
drenched the several hundred
spectators and forced the con-
testants to huddle under a tree
on the eighth tee of the after
noon match changed the COM
pleXion of the match.
Cullinane had. won three
straight holes to go 4 up, but
when play was resumed he lost
the next four holes, two to pars,
one to a birdie and one to a
bogey.
No Boosting Here
Neither contestant was proud
Of his golf. Cullinane had a
complete letdown after his bril-
liant play in the semifinals in
which he played the front nine
in 80. Col. Smith was so dis
satisfied with his game that he
practiced between morning and
afternoon rounds.
But the dapper colonel, in
the middle of his second four
year tour Of duty in Washing
ton, kept plugging, and finally
won because he made fewer
mistakes.
Columbia Country Club now
is the home club Of both the
Maryland and District Amateur
champions in Dick Latimer and
Col. Smith. And neither player
was mentioned in the pre-
tournament buildup of either
event.
Cullinane is disturbed over
his lack of stamina, and had an
appointment with his doctor to-
day. He gave out in the finals
of the recent Argyle Invitation,
which he lost to Billy Mcbride.
Perky Looks Tired
And yesterday the slender
defending champion appeared
tired, and without the spark he
showed on Saturday. After
playing his best golf of the day
on the front nine of the after
noon to take a 4-up lead, Cul-
linane appeared to lose every
thing when play was resumed
after the rain.
Col. Smith, who the Bethesda
members called Cowboy" when
he was a member of the club
from 1950-53. had a 78 in the
morning round and was one
down. He had a rs in the after
noon, and a par on the extra
hole.

II also think President
Kennedy's plan to raise the
amount that may be bor-
rowed through FILA for home
improvements and his pro-
posal to extend the period
for such loans is a good
thing"
Broker Books Plan
Edward K. Jones, president
of Weaver Bros. Inc, one of
the areas largest housing
brokers, echoed Mr.. De Fran
ceaux'S feelings.
II can remember" he said,
when there was a great cry
about extending loans for 20
years. The same thing hap
pened when 30-year loans
were proposed. There was a
great deal of resistance. But
undoubtedly it stimulated the
market. The 40-year proposal
should do the same"
Mr.. Jones said the Presi-
dents desire to stimulate low
cost housing could be made
to work, but first something
would have to be done to
lift the burden of improving
home sites off the builders
shoulder.
Cheaper Homes Possible
This could be accomplished
through Mr.. Kennedy's pro-
posal to assist in development
Of community facilities such
