Louisiana's Republicans also made some news last week. In New Orleans, pro-Eisenhower candidates came out ahead in 14 of 24 contests for the Republican Parish Executive Committee and won ten out of 56 seats on the State Central Commit tee.

It was the traditional "driving in" ceremony, performed each year-but not always so well-by the elected Captain of the Royal and Ancient, golf's oldest and holiest shrine. Francis Ouimet, onetime caddy from the wrong side of Boston's tracks, was the first American ever elected captain...
Slamming Sam Snead, the lanky West Virginian whose tee-to-green game is the best in golf, was having a hot spell last week. Going into the final match of the Professional Golfers' Association championship at the Oakmont (Pa.) Country
