OAKMONT, Pa, June 9
(AP).-Arnold Palmer tries to
take the second in a four-step
climb to the pinnacle of pro-
feSsional golf starting next
Thursday in the SD National
Open golf championship at the
Sand-pocked Oakmont Country
Club course he knows almost
like his back yard.
The muscular power-hitter
from neighboring Latrobe, Pa,
looks to the Open as part two
Of the goal he's set for him
Self-the grand slam Of the
Masters, National and British
Opens ard the PGA, all in one
year.
Palmer came close in 1860
winning the Masters and the
Open before slipping to second
in the British classic and tC
seventh in the PGA. With the
1862 Masters title already
achieved, the 32-year-o {
strongboy seems in an ever
better position to accomplish
what experts consider to be 6
sweep tougher than Bobby
Jones' slam of the United
States and British amateurs
and the United States an6
British Opens in 1850.

And for still another, Palmer

Latrobe is only 40 miles ava!
and Palmer played the fabled
old course many times as {
young man. AS an amateur, h
was a qualifier when the OpeI
was last played at Oakmon
in 1858.
The course has been changed
some and possibly made ever
tougher, but essentially it's tht
rolling, ruggedly trapped layout
that Palmer first attacked al
a teen-ager.

in the World Amateur, every
Merton member who could be
found was backed against the
wall explaining that nothing
had changed since Hogan's
Open victory.
The fact that Nicklaus was
on his way to a score 10 strokes
better than Hogan's was just
as amazing to the members
as it was to the press corps,
and nobody could explain it.
The only explanation anyone
offered sincerely was that in
the World Amateur Nicklaus
didn't have to play cautiously,
Each team in the tournament
consisted of four men, but only
three scores were counted each
day. Nicklaus could let it fly
and not worry about the con-
sequences.
That seemed reasonable
enough.
Then last year the National
Open was played at Oakland
Hills and Gene Littler won
with 281. That was in 1861,
Ten years before Hogan won
his third Open title there, again
shooting 287 over a course
described as the toughest ever
to hold the tournament.
Oakland Hills members came
to Hogan'S defense, stating that
Detroit had a poor growing
season last spring and the
rough was not as penalizing
as it was in 1851. They also
said that the course had just
been redeSigned in 1851 and
still showed some scars from
construction. As with all new
golf courses, the conditioning
left something to be desired.
The significant point is that
no one dared voice the belief
that maybe today's golfers are
better than those of 10 or IL
years ago. 1t seems incredible
to say that Nicklaus, his baby
fat still showing in 1860. and
Littler last year are better than
Hogan was in 1850 and 1851,
1t certainly won't be said here,
but it makes one think.
What would make one think
even more would be if some
one shot better than 283 at
Oakmont this week. Again Ho-
gan's performance of almost 10
years ago is in for a close
comparison. When he won his
fourth Open at Oakmont in
1858, Hogan became the first
man ever to better par in a
72-hole tournament there.
Tommy Armour won with
301 in 1927 and Sam Parks
shot 299 to win in 1885. When
he shot 283, Hogan won by
six strokes over Sam Snead
Par then was 288, but Oak
mont's first hole, an easy PAL
five birdie hole in 1858, has
been shortened somewhat anC
par reduced to four. Now it is
a 284 course with par o1
36-35-71.
The latter-day Hogan is, OF
course, Arnold Palmer, who
grew up in Latrobe, Pa, barely
40 miles from Oakmont. Palmer
has played Oakmont often, but
not well. He played a practice
round there the week after his
exhibition match with Gary
Player at Prince Georges ano
said he must have shot 80.
Palmer sometimes looked like
he was shooting 80 at Prince
Georges but came in with II

Capital Change Issue Probably On Nov. Ballot

JUNEAU (P)-The Alaska Su- preme Court in 2-1 decision held Thursday that the portion of the state Constitution which designates Juneau as the capital of Alaska may be changed by use of the initi- tative.
 The court at the same time over turned the Superior Court decision which prohibited Secretary of State Hugh Wade from placing the initiative on the ballot.
 In Fairbanks Robert J. McNealy, one of the attorneys who prepared the Juneau-Douglas case against the proposed initiative said a peti- tion for rehearing would be filed with the State Supreme Court.

Invasion of Cuba Now

lead Ito very serious conse-
QuenceS for many people"
An unsuccessful United States
backed invasion of Cuba by
exiles was attempted in April,
1861, and 1.100 prisoners are
still held captive in Cuban
prisons.
Although Mr.. Kennedy noted
the Red ship movements, he
held to the viewpoint he ex-
pressed last week, that the
United States has no evidence
Soviet troops have landed.
However, he said it is quite
probable some military techni-
clans from Communist bloc
countries are in Cuba.
Mr.. Kennedy was asked for
his Interpretation Of the effect
Of the Monroe Doctrine. long
a key point in United States
policy toward Latin America.
Power Extension Opposed
The President said the
doctrine means what it r1eant
in 1928 when it was enunciated
by President James Monroe.
That is," said Mr.. Kennedy,
that we would oppose a foreign
power extending its power to
the Western Hemisphere, and
that is why we oppose what
is happening in Cuba today"
AS for the shipments of Red
supplies and technicians, the
President indicated they were
motivated by a failure Of Com
munist economic policies In
Cuba and q desire Of other
Communist nations to avert a
complete disaster there.

BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy says there
is no evidence Of Russian troops
in Cuba and any invasion by
United States forces would be a
mistake.
The President emphasized,
however, that the United States
would oppose under the Mon
roe Doctrine any takeover of a
country in this hemisphere by
an outside power.
More questions were asked
about Cuba at the Presidents
news conference yesterday than
on any other topic. Two devel-
opmentS apparently stimulated
the new concern.
One was the recent arrival in
Havana Of an unusual number
Of Communist bloc ships car
rying cargo, some of 1t unloaded
secretly, and an estimated 5000
to 5000 Communist technicians.
The other was the shelling Of
a Havana hotel last Friday
night from two small boats
manned by Cuban students in
exile.
Invasion Called Mistake
The President was unsmiling
when some reporters laughed at
his statement II am not for
invading Cuba at this time"
And he hastened to add that
no secondary meaning should
be given his remark and that
he would consider an invasion
a mistake.

Of the Soviet Unions reluct-

Spread of Weapons

Q. Mr.. President. did you once
say that you would make a de-
termination at the end of any
Russian series as to whether
there would be q need for an
other American series?
A. I tried to respond that in
our Judgment our security
would be assisted by an effec-
tive agreement If we could Sc
cure 1t by January /, or by any
other date. because I consider
the constant development of
new and more dangerous weap-
onS by not only the United
States and the Soviet Union,
but by other powers, and par
ticularly the very strong pos
sibility that proliferation will
mark this decade If we don't
get an agreement, as a matter
Of maximum peril to the United
States, as we'll as the free world,
and. therefore. II we can get an
agreement it is in our interest
and in our security.
Those who oppose an agree
ment should consider what our
security will look like at the
end Of this decade If we do not
have the agreement and we
have the possibility Of 10 or
is countries having these weap-
ons, and when one goes off. 1t
may mean they all go off, so
this administration will leave
no stone unturned to get an
agreement. II we can get it, and
provide for our security on
the basis which I enunciated in
my original statement.
Q. Mr.. President. sir. would
you explain how an agreement
to be signed only by the cur
rently existing nuclear powers
would prevent the arisal of
other nuclear powerS2
A. Quite obviously. If other
powers went ahead with test
ing, Of course, then the agree
ment would cease to have very
much effectiveness.
1t is our hope that the sign
ing by the major nuclear
powers today will arrest the
spread and make it not essen

Kennedy Pushes Russia
On Test Ban Treaty

with adequate inspection for the
underground tests.
| He explained that he believes
underground testing would
give us sufficient assurance
against the kind Of event which
happened last September"
Security Unaffected
He told g questioner he did
not believe that the Russians
could make sufficient progress
in their current series of tests
to adversely affect American
security.
A reporter recalled that last
February the President had in
dicated an inspection system to
guard against secret prepara-
tons would be necessary even
in q ban on atmospheric tests.
and asked If he no longer
thought this necessary.
Mr.. Kennedy replied that If
the ban covered only the at
mosphere. quite obviously un-
derground tests could continue
and there would be other steps
which we could take under
those conditions which would
keep our preparations In a po-
Sition TO protect our interests"
II there was q sudden breach
Of the ban by the SovietS.
Soviet First Deputy Foreign
Minister Vastly V. KuznetSov
proposed the January l test
cutoff at the 17-nation disarm-
ament talks at Geneva yester-
day, where Western sources
said his remarks made it clear
he was proposing an unpoliced
moratorium on all kinds Of
tests.
On other questions in the
foreign field. Mr.. Kennedy
emphasized that he thought 1t
would be the height Of folly"
to cut foreign aid appropria-
tions as some foes Of the pro-
gram are trying to do.
He did not seem particular
ly concerned. however. about
delay in the foreign aid ap-
preparation bill reaching the
House floor until September 10.
He dismissed that as really a
scheduling matter" But he
added, II can imagine nothing
more short-sighted than to cut
the heart out Of this program.
as some people wish to do"
He said he finds 1t very ironi-
cal that those who make the
strongest speeches against
Communist movements are the
ones who want to cut this pro-
gram the hardest, which is the
most valuable weapon immedi-
ately that we have on the front
lines against the Communist
menace"
Mr.. Kennedy also confirmed
reports that the Western Big
Four Foreign Ministers will
meet before the United Nations
General Assembly session opens
in New York next month. He
said no time or location for the

Q. Mr.. President, on the
question Of nuclear tests, can
you explain how the security OF
the United States can be ade-
quately protected by an agree
ment on our part four months
hence to sign a test treaty, ban
treaty. while the Soviet Union
is In the middle Of an extern
sive series Of tests? Does this
mean that you have determined
that in this series they cannot
catch up or overtake us?
A. We do not believe that
they could make sufficient
progress in this series Of tests
to adversely affect our secur-
ity. Number /. and Number 2,
If we do not get an agreement,
and I would say the chances are
not am not sanguine about
the chances Of an agreement
II we do not get an agreement,
the danger to the United States
will be greatly increased as
more and more countries de-
velop an atomic capacity and
present US with an increasing
danger as the decade goes on.
So In answer to your question,
I believe that the quicker we
can get q test agreement, the
better off we will be.
