Golf Open
NEW YORK— (AP) — A total
of 146 of the East’s leading pro
fessionals and amateurs will vie
for a dozen places at Montclair,
N. J., tomorrow to complete the
field for the National Open Golf
Tournament,
The record entry list of 1,697
was reduced to 150 with scattered
sectional 36-hole trials yesterday
in which Fred Haas, the gangling
New Orleans pro, was the standout
performer as an imposing list of
big name performers failed to
make the grade.
The championship, the blue rib
bon event of American golf, will
be contested over the Northwood
Country Club in Dallas June 12-14
with Ben Hogan, the defending
champion. Hogan and 28 others
champions, champions and high
1951 finishers—didn’t have to
qualify.
The Montclair, N. J., tests origine
ally were scheduled yesterday
along with 26 others but were
postponed because of heavy week
end rains.
Haas, son of a well-known
Southern pro, left no doubt about
his qualifications as he outshot a
star-spangled field at St. Louis
and rang up the nation’s best
qualifying score with 69-64-—133,
nine under par for the Bellerieve
Country Club course.
But casualties ran heavy, par
ticularly at St. Louis where many
of the nation’s leading barnstrom
ers had gathered for last week
end’s Western Open.
Among those who didn’t make
the grade there were Argentine
champion Roberto Devicenzo, Joe
Kirkwood jr., Jerry Barber, John
ny Palmer, Toney Penna and Bob
Toski.

Five Postponements
Murray had postponed the
strike five times since negotia
tions broke off in late December.
He issued a statement calling on
the steel companies to join in new
negotiations on a contract “pased
firmly upon the recommendations
of the Wage Stabilization Board.”
John A. Stephens, vice presi
dent of the United States Steel
Corp., who served as chairman of
the coordinating committee for
the caxflpanies in the steel-wage
negotiations, declared the indus
try is willing to resume talks, He
said: . 3 S
“We believe the steel dispute
can be settled if both parties are
willing to engage in free and gen
uine collective bargaining.”
The Wage Stabilization Board
recommendations call for a 12%
cents hourly wage increase retro
active to Jan. 1, another two and
one-half cents next month and a
third two and one-half cent boost
the first of next year,
It also recommended a union
shop and fringe benefits.
The steel companies balked at
the recommendation claiming an
increase of sl2 a ton for steel is
needed to meet the hike. The gov
ernment refused a price boost of
that size. USW members now earn
about $1.95 an hour. The average
price of steel is about sllO a ton.

Europe has social, economic and

He cited in this connection the
importance of the Belgian Congo.
If the Congo were lost, the gen

we would do.”
This was an obvious reference
to the uranium resources of that
African area.
Eisenhower met with about 100
newsmen at the Pentagon a short
time before retiring—at his own
request—without pay from the ar

Retirement left him free to cam

Eisenhower spoke out on a
number of topics—some of them
borderins on the political contro
versies of the day.
He said such moves as a 10 per
cent flat cut in military spending
proposals—as some members of
Congress have urged—is a ‘“‘meat
axe way of doing things.”
Asked about the role of Spain
and Yugoslavia in the Western de
fense program, Eisenhower said
“I have liked to think that Ameri
ca will go to war only in defense
of free peoples.”
He went on to say, however,
there was no question of the geo
graphic and military importance
of the two countries, even though
there is a wide social and spiritual
difference between Yugoslavia
and Spain on the one hand and
the free nations of the West on
the other.
Believes In UMT
Eisenhower said he never has
been able to see how universal
military training and selective
service could go hand in hand.
But he declared that “UMT isn’t
all sacrifice,” adding it gives a
man a chance to survive—through
the training it offers—if he is
called upon to fight.
Eisenhower said, as he has be
fore, that he believes the adoption
of a UMT program by this coun
try would lessen the chances of
war,
He expressed the view that a

always is a chance of what he
called satellite wars, or wars of
the “powder keg” type.
Answering a question about the
threat of another world war,
Eisenhower said any nation, in
cluding Russia, that would delib

today would be doing a “foolish
thing.”
He added, however, that “we
