Legislation to provide an
automatic union dues check
off system for Federal employe
members of Government unions
faces a strong fight in Con-
gress.
President Kennedy is soon
expected to submit such legiS-
lation to Congress to augment
his recently issued executive
order on labor-management in
Government.
Typical of the reaction of
some conservative members Of
Congress to President Ken
nedy' new labor management

eminent employe unions was
that of Representative Pass
man, Democrat of Louisiana
: Mr.. Passman, ranking major
ity member of the House APP
preparations Subcommittee on
Post Office-TreaSury declared
at the groups hearing on 1868
postal budget requests that the
order would lead to "compul-
sorry" union membership OF
Federal and postal workers.
Representative Pillion, Re-
publican of New York, ranking
minority member Of the SUBJ
committee, said the executive
order was a radical" depart
ure from the past and Won
dered whether it would lead
to a CLOSED shop" in Govern
ment.
Assistant Postmaster General
Richard Murphy in reply en-
phasized that the closed shop
is banned in Government ano
that no one has to join a postal
or Federal employe union if he
doesn't want to. Chairman
Gary of the subcommittee also
noted that on matter of pay
and fringe benefits the posta
and Government employe un
ions will still have to deal with
Congress as before.
Nevertheless, a certain dis
trust of the Presidents labor
management order exist
among conservative member
of Congress. Since it is an ex
ecutive order, they can do lit
lie about it. But since a uniol

quered the hazardous usually

The bold American skindiver

American flag sewed across the

Five Italian Skindivers on his
pilot boat kept jumping into
the water to change oxygen

Baldasare churned along with
out losing a stroke. He used
the white-painted hull OF his
pilot boat as a guide.

EyeUpsetsin
British Golf

HOYLAKE, England, June 9
(AP) Some 80 American golf
ers 60 into the British Amateur
championships Monday hoping
to upset predictions and taking
Michael Bonallack's title.
For once, not a single Amer
ican is included among the
eight seeds.
Jimmy McHale, 46, Of Wyn-
newood, Pa, semifinaliSt in the
British Amateur in 1850 and
again in 1852, is the name Brit
ish fans know best among the
American entries.
Many of the others are Un-
tied States businessmen or SER
vicemen who make the tourna-
ment as excuse for a weeks
leave.
Bonnalack, 81, won the title
at Turnberry, Scotland, last
year and has since collected the
English Amateur crown as well.
He is the only man ever to hold
both titles together.
Joe Carr, 40-year-old Irish
man, who has already won the
title three times, is trying again.
Bonallack and Carr are both
seeded along with John Hayes,
South African champion and
five Englishmen-Alec Shep-
person, Martin Christmas, Ron
ME Shade, Mike Lunt and John
Durry. All of the Englishmen
except Durry have played for
Britain in the Walker Cup.
Americans have won the title
seven times since World War IL,
but no American has ever won
it on the Royal Liverpool Clubs
course at Hoylake. The cham
pionship has been held here 10
times in the last rs years, and
only once has an American
reached the final. That was
Harvie Ward, who lost to Carr
in 1858.
It's a deceptive, flat course
with narrow fairways. Com
petitors practicing in the last
day or two went around in hot
summer weather and didn't
get a taste of the winds that
are liable to come whistling over
the sand dunes from the Irish
Sea.

his Oakmont score would be
about rs.
It seems unbelievable that
Palmer ever shot 30 in his
life. But in the 1853 Open
when he was a year away from
becoming the National Amateur
champion, Palmer shot "a in
the first round and 78 in the
second. He was not invited to
play again that Saturday.
However, the sentiment is,
that if anyone beats Hogan's
score at Oakmont, it will be
Palmer despite the fact that
except for Augusta, he doesn't
always play the good courses
well. Palmer won the Open at
Cherry Hills in 1860 and this
was among the least impress
sive courses that have held the
tournament in a decade.
He fell on his face at Oak
land Hills last year, never was
a factor in the PGA at Olympia
Fields, won the British Open,
but who did he beat? There
is a tendency to write off
Palmer's 1861 season because of
his rush to capitalize though
exhibitions and endorsements
on his marvellous campaigning OF
1860 when he won the Masters
and Open, missed the British
Open by one stroke and ran
seventh in the PGA.
There is no intention here
to say that Palmer is over
rated, but something T mi m y
Bolt said last June after Gene
Littler won at Detroit is worth
repeating.
There are too many good
players out here for any one
man to dominate the tour very
long"

He looked like he would close
