Fttrest Hills, N. y., Sept e. wU
Blond Art Larsen, a slender Ban
Francisco southpaw, was the qply
person who wasn't surprised to-
day that hs won the National Am-
ateur tennis championship—aad
he wasn’t bashful about repri-
manding the net fathers for brav-
ing him off the Dnvis Cup team.
A jittery young man filled with
var-bom supefetitions which he
squired as a 17th Cavalry ma-
"chine-gunner in Europe, Larsen
three years ago promised himself
that he would win the Nationals
within five years.
“If you don’t do it by then, you
never will," he explained after his
6-3, 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-3, upset-vic-
tory over favored Herbie Main of
Beverly Hills, Calif., on the famed
Forest Hills Center Court yester-
day.
So the good Conduct soldier who
has been a bad boy of the courts,
went out and fulfilled his ambition
ahead of schedule after form had
held aa Margaret Osborne Dupont
of Wilmington, Del., won the wo-
men’s crown for the third straight
year with a 6-3, 6-8 win over Doris
Hart of JaekaonviUe, Fla.
Then the 36-year-old Larsen, son
of a California highway patrol-
man, proceeded to unload on the
net fathers who had ignored the
performance chart by picking Ted
Schroeder and Tom Browh to dm
fend the Davis Cup. They lost it
to Australia, 4 to 1.
“They made a mistake,” Insisted
the five-foot, nine-inch, 160-pound
Dane. “They should have picked
a teem from the record, then they
would have picked me slang Pith
Herbie Flam, Oardnar Mulloy and
Vk Seixas.”
They could have done worse
than select the wiry Larsen from
what he showed as he rolled over
Flam. The nervous young man
who never had won a grass court
tournament played a vicious cross
court wind like a master, riding it
with his arching lobs and gauging
it perfectly for rifleshot place-
ments as he scored his comeback
upset
Through it all he adhered*to his
superstitions, fading away from
the net and wheeling to serve, nev-
er accepting a ball from the ball
boys unless ft bounced just once,
and stepping carefully on the base-
line when he changed courts.
“That’s a carry-over from the
war,” he explained in his jerky
way. “Then you were afraid to
thange any of your habits or man-
nerisms, because maybe that’s
what kept you alive. New you
think f maybe they're what keep
you winning. Of course, it’s pro-
bably silly. But who wants to
tempt fate, just in case there is
Texaco Golf
Tourney Opettt
anything to it; I'm trying to lose
these mannerism*, but it’s hard
aftir so long.”
Ha stroked his blond, almost in-
visible mustache as he spoke, arid
observed that “tfm rasor slipped
Hie other day and I almost cut it
off.” Then he combed hack the.
straight blond hair, peroxided to
match the moustache, and grinned
a wolfish smile at he chortled;
“Now for the celebration.”
He had a lot to celebrate. For
Larsen was seeded sixth when this
tournament opened, and be went
all the way by upsetting Jaroalav
Drobny, the exiled Gseeh; Brown,
the Davis Cupper, and the top-
ranking flam. m
That made him the first left-
handed champ in 30 years and,
while a lot of people may think
he is left-handed in more ways
than one, nobody could deny that
this fancy little fellow was the
best of the amateur lot—whether
the net fathers liked It or n6t.

Dallas, Sept. 6, «Lp. C. C6bb.
athletic director of Dallas public
schools, said today he had “can-
celled” scheduled football games
between two Dallas high schools
and Penthalon High School of
Mexico CHy because he had been
unable to get. signed contracts
with Penthalon officials.
Sunsot High School was sched-
uled to play Penthalon in Mexico
City on Sept. 23 and Penthalon
was set to play Crosier Tech High
in Dallas on Oct. 18.
"I have been trying since last
year to obtain signed contracts for
these games,” Cobb said, “but have
been unable to do so.”
Dallas and Mexico City teams
have played several international
games in recent years and the
Mexican elevens have given good
accounts of themselves.
Cobb said that he now would
like to schedule some other team
for Sunset sway from home on
Sept. 23 and for Tech in Dallas
on Oct. IS.

hire an extra 48 guards.
Prison Board Chairman W. C.
Windsor of Tyler and O. B. Ellis,
system general manager, appeared

of the Board of Control’s budget
division end the Legialative Budg-
et Board and requested a - budget
increase of 8639,800 in the 1961-63
biennium.
They said the money would be
used to employ the additional
guards at salaries ranging from
$1,800 to $2,400 yaarly.
The request for a total budget
of $8,469,082 was msde on the
basisof an estimated prison popu-
lation of 7JH>0 during the 1961-53
biennium, Ellis said.
The two budget agencies will

Staile timferisrato money will soon
appear throughout the South as
part of a huge ptfltHMty campaign
by Southern manufacturers to
promote the growth of the South.
The campaign is Mrtf launched to
GgM etmhtiqn h> the area’s many
advantages both as a place to live
and as a location forinduatry.
Working together, the compa-
nies will sponsor a Southwide con-
test to stimulate the interest and
pride of Southerners in the South.
The most ambitious attempt to
date of Southern manufacturers to
promqte their market, the contest
will offer 100 prises valued at
more than $15,000 to the winners.
Washington, Sept. 5 W—Even-
tual disposal of at least some of
Washington’s federal agencies ap-
pears to be in the eards as a long-
range atomic defense measure.
But there is no indication that
the government will be moved from
Washington or that the capital will-
be spread around tho Maryland and
Virginia countryside in the early
future. New agencies, however,
probably will be located with an eye
to defense needs-
The government, from President
Truman down, has accepted the
principle that strategic relocation”
of essential industries, services,
economic activities, and govern-
ment agencies is desirable.
Two steps have been taken in
that direction:
1. The National Security Resour-
ces Board is preparing plans for
long-range decentralization of ma-
jor cities over a period of many
years.
2. Government officials are ,urg-
ing architects, city planners and
Industrialists to take defense into
consideration in all plans for new
developments.
, t iud Plana Being Drawn «
The NSRB has not yet placed any
formal plans before the president
for his approval. However, such
plans are being drawn rip. They are
labeled “top secret.”
The main argument voiced against
any immediate emergency effort to
disperse major cities and industrial
areas is that so mammoth a project
would bankrupt the nation. The
lowest estimate heard here is $30Q,-
000,00(1,000 (B)—or nearly $45,-
000,000,000 (B) more than the nat-
ional debt.
In view of the cost barrier, de-
fense planners have decided to set-
tle for a slow but steady dispersal.
This ties in with such non-defense
programs as slum clearance and
urban redevelopment.
Officials in close touch with de-
fense planning do not expect Wash-
ington to get any priority over
other major cities in the decentral-
ization program. However, many
believe the nation’s capital would
be the logical target for a sneak
atom attack. Such an attack might
paralyse the federal government’s
major operations.
Three Capital Targeta
The Potomac River would lead
enemy bombers to Washington,
much as the Thames led the Ger-
man Luftwaffe to London. The
Atomic Energy Commission has
listed three obvious targets” in the
Washington area;
1. The Pentagon, headquarters of
the national military eatablish-
mfcnt. A large distinctive building
lying on the Virginia bank o? the
Potomac, with two bridges to- aid
in locating it from the air, it would
appear to be one of the world's
easiest-to-hit targets.
2. The area around the Capitol,
including Senate and House office
buildings and the Union Station,
Washington’s only rail terminal.
An atom bomb hit there might wipe
Out the nation’s legislative mach-
inery—a factor not overlooked by
the members. Bills providing for
appointment of a new Congress in
the svent of such a catastrophe
have been introduced.
3. The downtown area , contain-
ing the White House and most ma-
jor departments and agencies, in-
cluding the A EC itself.
The A EC’s estimates are based
on 1045-model A-bombs. The more
powerful 1950 models undoubtedly
would enlarge the damage area of
each “target.”

UsMst Pr*M Staff Carrmnstost
With U. S. 35th Division, Korea.
Sept. 0, tW—A U. 8. Army offiear
cam* up with a curious theory to-
day as to why a strategic hill on
the southern front west of Mason
has changed hands eigUi times to
two weeks.
He thought it might mean thqt
the Communists facing tha Ameri-
can Negro regiment in this sector
are desperately short of food.
Every time the men of the 24th
Regiment have recaptured the hill,
they have found dozens of bodies
lying near hacked-open U. S. ra-
tions. The North Koreans appar-
ently braved American artillery to
cram their empty bellies.
“It seems to us,” the officer
said, “that the Reds deliberately
allow us to counter-attack and re-
take the hill and then drive us out
just to capture the food we bring
up.
“We meet only light resistance
to the counter-attacks, and their
attempts to recapture the hill have
been made in strength. We know
they have plenty of strength to
take and hold that piece of ground
if they really wanted to keep it.
“Everybody we found there was
thin and emaciated.”
War May End Soon
The officer’s report about sums
up the reasons for a feeling of
cautious optimism, a piece of hope
or maybe wishful thinking that
the war may be over sooner than
some expect.
Intelligence reports suggested
that the Communists faced a food
shortage in many combat areas.
Some officers in this sector pre-
dicted a “peace offensive” by the
North Koreans in possibly a month
or six weeks.
Captured documents and prison-
ers tell of short rations among
troops, and even shorter fare
among the civilians. Some prison-
ers insisted they had not eaten
regular rations for seven or eight
days. Malnutrition has been com-
mon among prisoners.
Reports have circulated that
Communist troops refused in some
cases to fight until they were fad.
Operations officers were at *
lota to explain why there had been
no large-scale attack by the North
Korean forces known to be mass-
ed before the Americans on this
southern front.
Authorities say the Russians
must decide at once whether to
reinforce the North Koreans or
start a peace offensive.
A Soviet plane carrying high
Russian dignitaries was reported
to have landed at Seoul recently,
apparently for high level confer-
ences with North Korean authori-
ties. The Americans would give a
great deal to know what went on
at that reported meeting.
One Beaver, Scared
Dunes State Park, Ind. IIP)—A
Red Cross swimming class was in
progress in Lake Michigan when
someone spied a “sea monster”
near the beach. The class instruc-
tor ordered the swimmers ashore
and sent a boat out to investigate.
When the “monster” was hauled
in, the class found a frightened
beaver.
