ED DUDLEY SEIZE BRITISH OPEN LEAD WITH BRILLIANT 70 Sub-Par Round Is Day’s Best on Long, Wind-Swept Carnoustie Carnoustie, Scotland, July 7.—(7)\— Veteran: Ed Dudley of Philadelphia, first man to break par Wednesday over Carnoustie’s wild-swept course, took the lead in the first round of the British open golf championship with a brilliant 70, one under stan- Gard figures. The American ace achieved his sub- Par score in spite of an injury to the arch of his left foot which made him limp. He cut two strokes from par ‘on the outgoing nine with a 34, then lost one while coming home in 36. Wind Hampers Rest A cold, hard wind from the east proved too much for the rest of the field — that and the extra yardage added by setting back several of the tees. Two strokes behind Dudley, at 772, came Defending Champion Alf Padgham, whose showing was some- what of a surprise, and two fellow- Britons, Bill McMinn, former west- ern Scotland pro champion, and Bill Branch, Belgian cpen winner last year. Denny Shute came next among the American contenders, at 73, with Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and ama- teur Robert Sweeny two stroke fur- -ther back. Four U. 8. stars were bracketed at 76; veteran Walter Ha- gen, Henry Picard, Johnny Revolta! and Charley Lacey. Britcns Tie Shute The Britons, too, were feeling the effects of Carnoustie’s hazards. Two were tied with Shute at 73; Henry} Cotton, British all-around ace, was} one of three at 74, with the represen- tation becoming heavy at 75 and higher. Charles Whitcombe, 43-year-old captain of the British Ryder Cup side, blazed down the back nine in 35 for a 73 that put him even with Shute and two other Britons, A. D. Cairncross and Fred Robertson. Hortcn Smith, who won the qualify- ing medal with two brilliant sub-par. 60's, was unable to retain his magic touch under Wednesday's conditions, He dropped three strokes to par on each nine and joined Guldatl at 77. Kirkwocd Blows Up Joe Kirkwood, Chicago's Austral- ian-born trick shot specialist who set a course record at Burnside Tuesduy with a 67, soared 13 strokes higher in his first championship round to an 80. ‘Tony Manero, U. 8 open champion in 1936, bettered Kig:wood’s score by two strokes. Gene Sarazen, complaining violent- ly about the trampled condition of the greens, finished 11 strokes behind /construction work which cannot be Dudley with an 81. left unfinished.

Of the 22 projects in operation in the state during June, six projects already have been discontinued and five more will be temporarily abandoned by July 15, Steen stated upon returning from Washington Federal allotment for the biological survey program in North Dakote from July 1 to Dec. 31, 1937, is $88,009, Steen said. Amounts received by the three oth- er states for which he ts project ad- ministrator include: Montana $92,290, South Dakota $103,350 and Nebraska $8,846. Staffs of supervisors and laborers will be reduced from the 532 peak payroll in June tp 225 by July 15, he asserted.

The “mid- dlewestern drouth conference” was called by Alex Lind, Williston, presi- dent of the North Dakota Farmers Union.
