SPORT UGH T — Locke Considered Top Golfer By GRANTLAND RICE New York—A portly fellow by the name of Bobby Locke is on his way from South Africa to England, and from England to the United States. This is one of the longest invasions that sport has known. Bobby Locke is a South African golfer that many rate as the great est of them all. His supporters bar nobody. He is headed for the Goodall Round Robin at Wykagyl in early June, and later to the U.S. Open in Detroit, two of the major tests that golf has to offer. Locke is, beyond any argu ment, the greatest golfer the other side of the Atlantic has developed since the reign of Harry Yardon. Bobby is now British Open Champion. He will have such competi tors as Lloyd Mangrum, Sam- jp my Snead, Jim Ferrier, Skee Biegel, Jimmy Demaret, and others from the pick . of the big field. Hogan is now Open champion and master of the Masters, two of the highest peaks golf knows today. But the Round Robin is also a terrific test of both skill and stam ina. What this country and golf in general needs is the arrival of a few new faces. The old guard is wearing out. Hogan, Nelson, Snead, Mangrum, Ferrier, etc., haven’t too far to go. They are moving to the borders of the Forty-Year-Old country, where the laurel and the olive, begin to fade. Bobby Locke is no part of a kid. for that matter. Bobby has been around a long time. The Locke Swing Bobby Locke’s stroke is closest to a completely natural golf swing of any we have seen. You can see the iron-shod school ing, the hours and years of prac tice, back of the Hogan groove. This goes for Nelson, Mangrum, and most of the others. They have hammered them selves into a set style that allows for rare errors. There, is the straight left arm, the body turn, the fixed head, the hand and wrist action that controls the club head. With Ben Hogan, especially, there is rarely the slightest change from this killing routine. Sammy Snead has one of the best-looking swings golf has ever known. But Locke’s swing still looks to be a trifle simpler and less complicated. It is more in line with the so- called “St. Andrews Swing’’ of an« cient years. Another factor of Locke’a swing is its consistency or steadiness. You rarely see him wandering too far from the trapped or pitted highway. He is also a sound competitor who rarely gets bothered or upset by any errors or mistakes. In addition to this, Locke has an extremely short game. There is no one better from just off the green to the bottom of the cup. He can chip and he can put! He has his full share of concen tration and determination, and he has a swing he trusts implicitly, which is a major help. Locke’s visit will be the shot in the arm which golf needs today because of the lack of younger stars who seem to be in no hurry to report. His presence on the greens will help the tournament appeal. Ameri can golfers, too, will remember the ability of the South African visitor. • • • Bit Money About one stable in ten makes any real money from a race track —breeding, selling or racing. The horse player takes quite a healthy beating, year after year, but the horse owner takes an even bigger trimming. For example, Greentree, one of the best, makes money about one year in ten. The Whitneys, Vanderbilts, Wid- eners, Wrights, Sloanes, Jeffords, Klebergs and a few others support racing. Mrs. Warren Wright’s famous Calumet stable with Citation, Pon der, Coaltown, Bewitch, etc., had dominated the bank account of the game steadily until Mrs. Sloane’s Brookmeade stable took charge in 1950. Calumet ran second. T Fulbright Backs Truman O DDLY ENOUGH it remained for Sen. William Fulbright of Ar kansas, who only recently was in the limelight exposing irregulari ties in the reconstruction finance corporation, to take up the cudgel in behalf of President Truman in the MacArthur affair. For in a major speech, the senator went all- out in favor of the President’s posi tion on foreign policy and the ouster of General MacArthur and pro voked the now, notorious comment from Senator Taft that he thought the joint chiefs of staff nothing but stooges of the administration, a statement Senator Taft will live to regret. It will be remembered that for the past three years Senator Ful bright has been in the so-called ad ministration “dog-house” insofar as the President is concerned. It-was Fulbright, who, during the heat of the pre-convention fight of 1948, suggested that President Tru man resign. Also, his exposures during the RFC probe brought to light some petty irregularities in the President’s official family in the White House. So members of the senate were amazed when the forth right Fulbright stated that he fully agreed with the foreign policy of our government and had complete faith in the mili tary Integrity of our Joint chiefs of staff, as opposed to the Mao- Arthur views on foreign policy and the general’s demand for an all-out aggressive war against Red China. After pointing out that the Mac Arthur views were opposed both politically and militarily, not only by our own government, but by the governments of the entire free world. Senator Fulbright had this to say: j “I do not know what the verdict of history upon Mr. Truman will be. His contemporaries, such being the frailties of human nature, are more likely to exaggeratf his faults than to enumerate his virtues, while he, as most men, has a full quota of both. I am not in his good graces. I have spoken with him on official business only once in several years. This, however, does not blind me to the fact that he has made decisions on a number of occasions that equal in imagination, courage and effec tiveness any ever taken by an American President. Nearly all of these decisions are without prece dent in our history. Some of them are: The dropping of the A-bomb on Japan, aid to Greece and Turkey, the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Air lift, the North Atlantic treaty, the sending of divisions of American troops to Europe in peacetime— troops under the command of Gen eral Eisenhower—, the going into Korea, a decision that at the time had the approbation of the nation and of nearly the whole of the free world. • * • Asks Objective Judgment “No doubt,” Senator Fulbright continued, “that, in the absence of some of these stupendous decisions, much of the present free world would now be lost to us and our struggle against Russia would be the more difficult. These momen tous decisions are the President’s responsibility, taken though most of them were with the advice and con sent of the congress and the people and the approbation of the military. Mr. Truman remains the President, and in these terrible times, I submit that it is nec essary for ns to keep him in perspective. Let ns not permit his occasional lapses, of speech or teperament or his misguided loyalty to unworthy friends to endanger a calm and objective judgment on the present con troversy.” • • • Fulbright Is Baited Throughout his speech, Senator Fulbright was continually baited by interruptions by the same senators who have opposed every step of the way the very acts of President Tru man which Senator Fulbright de clares are the products of a cour age, imagination and effectiveness without precedent in the history of our nation. They were Senators Taft of Ohio, Hickenlooper of Iowa, Knowland of California, Capehart of Indiana, Kem of Missouri, and Jenner of Indiana. Those coming to the defense ol Senator Fulbright and, incidentally, the President, included. Senators Kerr of Oklahoma, Maybank of South Carolina, McMahon of Con necticut, Long of Louisiana, Hum phrey of Minnesota, and McFar* land, the majority leader. Luncheons of Distinction May Be Prepared Easily Around Seasonal Foods WHEN YOU’RE entertaining, the foods need not be elaborate to make a big hit. If they’re well-prepared and attractively served, you may be certain to create the right impression. Using seasonal 'foods and taking full advantage of their freshness and color will lend a distinc tion and- ele gance which ,is haVd to achieve when you work with out-of-season produce. Fresh summer greens, ptak and red, with a gay touch of yellow are now at their height, and they can be brought to the table at their best. Plan your special luncheons around foods which feature these colors, and you'll receive compliT ments galore on even the simplest fare. • • • FOR EXAMPLE, sandwiches of the double-decker type teamed with an attractive salad of pineapple and cherries and a Pineapple Torte gives you color and tasty foods at the same time.

Paper Criticizes Taft Referring to Senator Taft’s at tack on the integrity of the joint chiefs. The Washington Star said: “One of these days Senator Taft will be ashamed of the attacks he has made on the joint chiefs of staff . . . It is not too much to insist that senators should not indulge in the reckless irresponsibility that char acterized Taft’s attack on tha in tegrity of the joint chiefs.” LYNN SAYS: How to Select Fruit For Table Use Fresh figs are best when they’re soft to the touch and vary as to size. Avoid those which are molded or decayed on the surface. Plump, over-ripe figs have a sour odor which is caused by fermentation. Pineapple is abundant now and can be eaten if soft to touch, golden yellow in color and fragrant. To test for ripeness, you may also pull e leaf or spear from the top. If it puUe readily, the pineapple is ripe. Watermelon should have a sym metrical shape and • fresh attrac tive exterior. A ripe melon scratch es easily on the skin with a nail and thumps with a dull hollow sound. Honeydew melons are best when the blossom end is slightly soft, the flesh green, juicy and sweet. You'll also be able to tell* ripeness by the aroma. Strawberries ere the only berries which keep their caps when ripe. For the best selection, choose those which ere medium-sized, tart end well-shaped. 1111 ii ii iii i» v nr iflah Livestock Accidents Cost Fanners Millions Annual Bruising Loss Above $30 Million Mark Livestock farmers could increase their incomes by guarding against accident and bruising of animals which would help reduce the enor mous annual meat loss currently soaring above the $30 million mark, industry leaders advise. A recent report of hog carcass studies revealed that 46 per cent of bruises found occurred on farms before and in. the process of load ing for shipment to market, and Steel ramp-chutes such as the one shown above ease the job of loading live stock. The ramp provides safe footing for the animals and greatly reduces the possibility of accidents. the further observation that 42 per cent was caused by canes, whips and clpba. In a move to check the huge mon etary loss, use of prodders was banned recently at the stock yards was made by the National Live Stock Loss Prevention Board, in Chicago where much of the study The report pointed out that a great decrease in bruising could be affected by proper training of live stock handlers, and also if shippers would guard against over loading of trucks and rail cars to insure animals riding comfortably and safely to market. In a cattle bruise study made of 7,116 head selected at random, a similar loss to that in the hog sur. vey iwas revealed. Truck Patch Reserves Called to l|ctive Duty The U.S. department* of agricul ture is encouraging Americans to plant “liberty” gardens as a part of the national and civil defense program. „ Officially called the “Garden and Food Preservation Program,” the campaign puts it up to citizens in 1951 to carry on horticulturally in the best traditions of World War H’s victory gardens and the war gardens of 1917-18. In 1917 it was estimated that the nation’s back yard and vacant- lot gardeners harvested crops val ued at some $350,000,000. It was a record for the time, but easily broken by tb*» victory sowers of the last war. in 1943 some 20 mil lion vegetable gardeners—an esti mated six million move than in the prewar year of 1941 ~, produced about eight million tons of food, enough to fill 160,000 freight cars. The agriculture department point ed out that fresh home-grown vege tables improve the nation’s diet, benefiting both health and morale, and - no mean consideration in these times — cut dowry-the cost of living.

MIRROR Never Buy A Of Your * * * Child's Love MIND By Lawrence Gould Should you “bribe” a child to kiss yen? Answer: Not unless you want to make a little hypocrite of him by teaching him that he can get things he wants by pretending an affection which he does not feel at the mo ment or that he can get you “in his power” by refusing. A child should kno\y that you like him to kiss you when he wants to, but you should no more demand or coax tor his love than you should force yours on him. He cannot help loving you because he needs you so much, but the more spontaneous his love remains, the more real and satisfy ing it will be to him and to you.

Barton A RECENT NEWSPAPER STORY told of a young bandit who en tered a drugstore and while being served, quietly pointed a revolver at the proprietor and demanded the contents of the till. The druggist handed it over and the bandit quiet ly left the store. During this whole procedure two messenger boys lay on the floor reading the comics and were so intent thereon that they saw or heard nothing of the holdup and theft. While this story Illustrates primarily the boys’ complete absorption in the reading of the comics, it touches on another point in which parents should be greatly Interested, that Is, that keeping the body in the same position for long periods of time can affect the shape and growth of the body. In The Medical Journal of Aus tralia, Dr. Jean Macnaraara (Mel bourne) mentions two basic prin ciples which are helpful in viewing this problem in young persons: (1) The form ,of any living, growing thing is determined by inheritance. Sway back is a common cause of sciatica and low back pain. • • * Watch the posture of the child and prevent deformities of face and body. • • • Enuresis—bed wetting—is caused by emotional disturbances and poor training by parents. It can be cor rected in the majority of cases. nutrition and position habitually as sumed; (2) habitual position is most potent in altering the line of growth from that which was ex pected by inheritance in early life during periods of rapid growth and when nutrition is poor. Approxi mately this would be from ages of 9 or 10 to the teen ages. , A favorite position at children when lying face down to read is to rest the weight of. the head on tha palm of the hand. Thus weight is transmitted through the forearm to the elbow which rests on the floor or bed. The palm is pressed firmly against the bone of the cheek. This position causes a distortikML half of the upper jaw—the condition known as crossed bite. In addition to causing a deformity of the teeth and face, it can easily be seen how this position, with head held high, leads to curvature ward of the lower part of the spine or “sway back” as it is popularly called. Sway back in children very often persists into manhood and womanhood, making necessary snug fitting corsets for women.
