Brazil's President Getulio Dornelles Vargas had not lost his touch. Last week, with a flourish of his wily pen, he brightened the chances of Government-backed Candidate General Eurico Gaspar Dutra in the approaching (Dec. 2) presidential elections, rocked opposition candidate General Eduardo Gomes back on his heels and left the Government's uneasy Communist allies stunned.

At Los Angeles' Wilshire Country Club, Pro Olin Dutra doled out two balls a week to members. At New York's Westchester Country Club, professional divers were hired to fish up balls from a lake bottom. At Atlanta's Black Rock Course-where a galleryite last winter offered Sam Snead a prewar ball for his match with Byron Nelson, in exchange...
