Golfer Ike Eisenhower, who has his troubles breaking 90, got a few tips this week from Old Pro Tommy Armour, 57, who has trouble breaking 70 nowadays. But in his prime (the 19205), Armour managed to win professional golf's triple crown: the U.S. and British Opens and the P.G.A. Sitting down with a batch of Ike-in-action photographs for This Week Magazine, Armour tells the President what is right-and wrong-with his game. The rest of the U.S.'s 3,265,000 golfers could profit by Armour's tips...
Soon the debate was dizzily racing off on another tangent. New Hampshire's Republican Styles Bridges, president pro tem of the Senate, recalled that Bohlen's supporters had said that a three-man committee of venerable career diplomats-Joseph C. Grew, Norman Armour and Hugh Gibson-had recommended Bohlen. He now had definite word that Gibson did no such thing. Within a few minutes, Illinois' Everett Dirksen had something to add: he had left the Senate floor and telephoned Mr. Gibson, who confirmed exactly what Bridges said...
Tread & Needle. That brought California's Senator William Knowland to his feet. Foster Dulles had sent him a letter signed by Grew, Armour and Gibson, recommending an accompanying list of prospects for diplomatic posts. On the list: Chip Bohlen, as Ambassador to Moscow. The letter and memo were classified documents and could not be read on the floor, said Knowland, but they clearly recommended Bohlen...
Jolly Jackie, temperamentally a fine match player in her amateur days, has found it a little hard to settle down to tight-lipped medal play where each stroke counts. Canny Scotsman Tommy Armour taught her a few tricks of the old-pro trade. Moans Jackie: "When somebody drops a long putt against me, I'm not supposed to compliment her at all. Just turn and walk off to the next tee." Jackie, who gave up a $185-a-month job with Sears, Roebuck and Co. in Honolulu for the faster money on the fairways, has been a quick study...
...well-to-do, imperturbable Jimmy Dunn, the reassignment means a return to the place where he started his foreign-service career 33 years ago. After studying for a law degree and practicing briefly as an architect, he entered the Foreign Service as third secretary in Madrid. Married to Mary Armour of the meatpacking family, he combined social assurance and a sure sense of protocol with an unspectacular determination to become a competent career man. In 1927 Cal Coolidge borrowed him as White House director of ceremonies, and he stayed on under Herbert Hoover as chief of protocol...
