DeMaret and Screen-Radio Co- median Bob Hope teamed for a best ball of 70 to share a second- place tie in the pro-amateur doub- les competition. The pro - amateur competition was led by San Francisco’s Art Bell and Amateur William Hoelle with a best ball of 68.

Former Golf Kingpin Byron Nel- son, who makes this event one of two or three he comes out of re- tirement for, had a first-round 77. He won the tourney last year. Lloyd Mangrum and Dr. Cary Middlecoff, both ex-U,S. Open title winners, needed 79 blows to com- plete the first round. Crooner Crosby, who foots the bills for his private tourney and turns over the profits to charity, wasn’t bothered by the wind and rain.

Command might now be will- ing to settle for less than a formal ban on military airfield construc- ' tion. They believed Maj. Gen. How- ard M. Turner in effect is asking the Reds for an oral pledge not jto build or repair airfields while an armistice is in foree. Such a “promise would become part of the conference record, but not of the jarmistice agreement itslf. An oral pledge not to build or repair military bases, if accepted |by the U. N. Allies, would elimi- inate the final obstacle barring agreement on how to supervise a truce. This single issue has dead- locked the armistice talks for the past two weeks. The subcommittee discussing | prisoner_exchange spent most of {the day wrangling over whether | War PHS0HePs and tivilians should be allowed to refuse repatriation. The Allies insist on freedom of | choice, the Reds want all prisoners exchanged. Both subcommittees scheduled sessions for Sunday in Panmun- jom. Washington sources said Friday that nations fighting under the ,U. N. flag in Korea have agreed substantially to an American pian i that if the agreement is broken ‘the Chinese mainland will become |the target of sea and air attacks | Sueh a warning might make a j formal, written agreement to ban | airfield construction less important to the Allies. | Gen. Turner told the Reds Sat- urday the U. N. made clear its position on airfield construction as late as Jan. 6 and added | “Your refusal to do so thus de- liberately is cloaking in confusion your attitude toward the single re ‘maining issue before us. | “We can only conclude your side jis uncertain regarding the position regarding airfieldSi)}£ would like jto have expressed by you your | Present intent.” Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols, \official U. N. spokesman, said emphasized “present’’ in asking for the Com- munist stand on airfields. Turner the word replied, as usual, that the question of whether to build or not to build airfields is for North Korea to de cide—an internal matter. rane We Service All Makes of Cars, Specializing in... : CHRYSLER PRODUCTS Bill's Southernmost Garage BILL TYLER, Owner 707 Whitehead St., Corner Angela Chinese Maj.

The audit reflects particu- { lar praise for the handling of in- ternal school accounts. , Adequate records were maintain- led in each of the five schools in | Key West. Records were not main- ‘tained at the Marathon, Tavern- {ier or Matecumbe schools. The amount of money handled by the Key schools in the past has not en sufficient to maintain a Bank ount or necessitate frequent au- .
