...promote golf and thereby professional golfers, who are one of the most underpaid groups of crack athletes in the world. PGA conducts tournaments, offers free teaching in colleges, free advice to clubs, free architects to the Government or anyone else who wants to build a new golf course.

...horror-delight of vast crowds in Indianapolis last week, two men were killed and four injured in two spectacular automobile crashes during races preliminary to the 25th annual 500-mi. Sweepstakes on Memorial Day. When this final event came, however, the 150,000 yelling fans clustered around the 2½-mi. brick oval did not get the ultimate thrill. Death took a holiday.
