the same. When you get a
dozen balls you know what
you've got"
But one thing hasn't changed
in the ancient game. It's still
the guy who can putt that wins
the pot. AS Mr.. Mac sees it,
most of the touring pros today
are equal off the tee and on
the fairway. It's what happens
on the greens that decides a
tournament.
"Why I've seen George Bayer
As yards away from the green
on his first shot on a 420-yard
hole and take six. It took him
two more to get home and then
he three-putted.
That's why he can't win
much. Same way with Hogan
now. He's lost it on the green
He's as good as ever with the
rest of his shots, but you've
got to get it in the hole, and
the poor guy can't anymore
It's a shame, too."

-Four Reactors

International inspectors will
arrive soon at four United
States atomic plants for what
a Government spokesman calls
a dry run" to prove interna-
tional inspection will work.
The four peaceful-use reac-
tors opened to the international
sleuthS for the first time are
the graphite research and med
ical research reactors at the
Brookhaven National Labora-
tory, N. Y; the experimental
boiling water reactor at Ar
gonne National Laboratory,
ILL.,, and the organic cooled and
moderated power reactor at
Piqua, Ohio.
I The inspectors for the In
ternational Atomic Energy
Agency will come to this coun-
try under an agreement signed
yesterday by the United States
and the Agency.
The technical aim is to as
i! sure that the atomic facilities
are not being used for military
purposes, to train the in
spectors and to work out any
kinks in the inspection system
that might be uncovered.
There also is a political goal
from the United States point
OF view: To knock a hole in
Soviet claimS-advanced at the
Geneva conference and else
Where-that the inspections the
West says are needed for arms
cut accordS are unavoidable
and are really designed only
for espionage.
Assistant Secretary of State
Harlan Cleveland, in signing the
agreement for the United
States, called it "a dry run to
find bugs in the system, to
prove that it is possible tech
nically, politically, administra-
lively. :"
There has been "a great deal
of polemical argument at
Geneva" he said. 1T will be
possible for these inspectors to
see and examine and count and
prowl around" in the reactors.
Another United States au-
thority added that the in
Spectors would be limited to the
four designated facilities -
among the hundreds of nuclear
installations scattered through
the United States-and not al
lowed to shop around" else
where.
Under the agreement, which
runs from one to two years
starting June l, IL inspections
a year will be permitted at
the Brookhaven graphite re-
search reactor, two at the
Brookhaven medical research
reactor. four at the Argonne
plant and two at Piqua.
The international agency has
yet to appoint its inspectors.
Russians could be on the in
Spection team. The Soviet Un-
ion belongs to the international

Broker Firms
Hit by SEC %
Two Washington investment

! Two Washington Investment
firms have been ordered to
stop selling securities in inter
state commercial least until
they can answer charges they
are violating regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
Temporary restraining orders
were handed down yesterday
by District Court Judge John
j. Sirica blocking Macinar, Inc,
at Seventeenth and H streets
NV, and Hiner & Co., 1920
K street NV, from further
interstate commerce securities
transactions for at least 10
days.
The judge took this action
at the request of Alexander J.
Brown, jr., acting as admin
istrator of the SECS Washing
ton regional office.
The complaint filed against
the two firms charged that the
Macinar firm had violated SEC
regulations requiring the filing
of a stock registration state
ment with the SEC. The COM
plant filed against Hirier &
Co. charged the firm with vio-
lation of an SEC rule requiring
brokerage houses to limit their
aggregate indebtedness to less
than 20 times their net capital.
The complaint against the
Macinar firm also named sew
eral stockholders and officers
of the firm as defendants, in
Guiding Paul S. Taston, presi-
dent, and Orin de Motto Walker,
secretary treasurer.
Sale of the Macinar stock
has been under way since Sep
tember, 1858.
The complaint against the
Hiner firm was aimed at Donald
M. Hiner, operator of the firm.
SEC investigators charged that
Mr.. Hiner has been a broker
since June, 1860, that his firm
has an aggregate indebtedness
of more than $74,000-more
than $4,000 above the amount
required by the SEC net capital
rule.
