Show TIIE BULLETIN. BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH SENATE RESTAURANT Restaurant Manager Says Most Senators Are Meat, Potato Men WNU Wsshlnfton Borea When a moment of leisure hits Capitol Hill, many members of con-gress automatically head toward the restaurants in the capitol build-ing for food and relaxation. On the house side the restaurant is one of the most easy, relaxed, and infor-mal spots in all of the capitol. Its counterpart across the building, the senate dining room, is much more formal. The house restaurant runs smoothly under the supervision of William A. Brockwell, manager, and Mrs. Edith G. Ridgely, hostess. They must, and do, know every representative, member of the press, and employee in the house, since the patrons are limited to these three groups and their guests. Working under some difficulty, the lack of space and the fact that in-variably everybody wants to eat at one time, Mr. Brockwell and Mrs. Ridgely, and their staff of 110 are able to serve and satisfy their clientele, with only 250 seats. It is not at all unusual for them to learn at 10 or 11 a.m. that a congressman Is planning a luncheon for as many as 50 that day. These parties are generally limited to 50 because that's the capacity of the speaker's dining room, which is separate from the restaurant. Pro-visions are kept on hand at all times for any of these short notice affairs. In addition to the restaurant and the speaker's dining room, there is a large cafeteria in the house office building across the street, and another one in the sen-ate office building where hundreds of employees in these buildings generally eat. There are also two small snack restaurants, one on each side of the capitol. When the house is in session, the restaurant is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and when the house has adjourned, it closes at 3:00 p.m. i SOME CONGRESSMEN have fre-quent parties, many never enter-tain. Representative Frank W. Boy-ki- n of Alabama has the largest and most frequent parties. The Texas delegation has lunch en masse every Wednesday in the speaker's dining room when congress is in session. The Iowa delegation makes a point of a breakfast once a week when congress is in session. The Repub-lican members of the Ohio delega-tion meet frequently, as do the delegations from Alabama, Ar-kansas, and Tennessee. To bring a home town flavor to the representatives in Washington, the restaurant imports special food from many parts of the country for parties held on the hill or for gen-eral consumption. For instance, they bring in salmon from the west coast, muskrats from Louisiana, strawberries from Alabama, and a special rice from Arkansas to make into a pudding. The favorite dessert of the con-gressmen is apple pie. Generally, they are meat, potato, and apple pie men. Most of them like plain, substantial food, and as Mr. Brock-well points out, none of them are trying to lose weight. Only about a dozen of them ever ask about fads or diets, such as the recent yen for yogurt or black strap molasses and whole wheat germ. In such a place where many per-sonalities meet, funny incidents oc-cur, such as the two ladies who had secured passes to the visitors' gallery of congress and stopped at the restaurant to ask if they could get lunch. Mrs. Ridgely told them that in order to be served they would have to be accompanied by a member of congress. They held a whispered consultation, then turned brightly to Mrs. Ridgely and said: "Oh, that will be all right, we don't mind!" The relaxed atmosphere of the house restaurant makes a daily, pleasant retreat for the legislators of the country.

This Is a matter about which practically all shooters, at some time or other, have speculated. To boil it down into general terms, with the safety ele-ment as a prime consideration, the answer is "A lot farther than you think." John J. O'Connor, of the physics and ballistics research laboratory of Remington Arms Company, Inc., has reduced the matter to a mathe-matical formula which reveals the rather surprising information that a bullet fired vertically upward will reach a height equal to more than half the maximum horizontal range of a similar bullet fired at the op-timum angle of departure. Concedes Some Danger O'Connor says: "Since aviation became popular, there has been a slight but present danger from amateur anti-aircra- ft men on the ground. In the early days of com-mercial planes it was all too com-mon for planes flying relatively low over the more remote hills of the eastern United States to be met by bullets. When the German dirigibles were making their regularly sched-uled flights to this country, there was at least one incident when a dirigible was hit by a small caliber bullet. These and other accidents probably reflect the lack of knowl-edge of the impressive height which small caliber bullets can attain. In other words shooters depend upon gravity to make their prank a harm-less one. Unfortunately gravity, though highly effective in making a poor range guesser come home with an empty trophy bag, is rela-tively Ineffective in stopping a bullet projected skyward. No Child's Toy "For example, consider the 22 long rifle bullet, considered by many, unfortunately, to be a child's toy. As is well known, the high speed version has a maximum hori-zontal range of about 910 of a mile. Not so well known is the fact that If fired vertically upwards, it will attain a height of about 710 of a mile or 3700 feet. Even regular or Match velocity 22 long rifle bullets will travel about 3500 feet upward. The force of gravity at the muzzle amounts to only 1.63 of the total force acting. At any velocity above 280 feet per second, the air resist-ance forces are larger than forces due to gravity. "Calculations indicate that under any practical conditions the attain-able vertical height above gun po-sition is more than half the attain-able horizontal range, regardless of bullet or muzzle velocity. When we realize that the maximum hori-zontal range for center fire rifle bullets may be as much as 6000 yards, we see that it is extremely hazardous to shoot at high angles of elevation without being absolute-ly certain that not only is there plenty of horizontal distance avail-able, but also there are no aircraft in the vicinity." AAA "Old Reliable" In the closing days of the fishing season, the crisp, sunny days of late Fall, the old re-liable tandem "guinea-tail- " spin-ner will be found to be one of the most effective of all bass lures. In fact, there are myriad oldtime anglers who assert that if they were to be restricted to just one bass lure, they'd choose the "guinea-tail.- " The tandem spinner shown here Is Pflueger's luminous spinner and is the pioneer of all the "guinea-tail- " tandems. AAA Fewer Fires Although there were more people seeking recreation in the national forests last year than ever before, the visitors started fewer fires through carelessness than during the previous year, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. Careless smokers started 1,701 fires on national forests as com-pared with 1,842 in 1949, records of the U.S. Forest Service show. In-cendiary fires, however, increased from 1,204 In 1949 to 1,724 in 1950. The majority of the blazes inten-tionally set by "fire bugs" occurred on the national forests of the 11 states lying south of Virginia. aAAuAu Wait Awhile Although you see your hunting friends getting busy with dogs and arms for the almost-upon-u- s hunting season, don't you anglers start rack-ing up for the year. There's still a lot of good fishing for crappie In ponds and even the bass, if you have the patience to fish deep water and it does take patience Get those lures down deep, deep, deep and fish 'em slowl That U tha technique most likely to pro duce for tha late-seaso- n basser.

SPORTLIGHT Texas Breeds World's Best Golfers By GRANTLAND RICE element is there in the air WHAT Texas that produces golf champions? What quality is there In Texas soil that makes a golf swing? The record of this somewhat ex-tended commonwealth is certainly an uncommon one in golf. The Open Golf Champion of the U. S. Is Ben Hogan, a Fort Worth Texan. The Women's Open Golf Champion Is Betsy Rawls, another Texan. The V. S. Amateur Champion Is Billy Maxwell, also born and bred Texan. Who was it that came before Hogan to rule U. S. golf? Ralph Guldahl a big Texan who won the U. S. Open and the Western Open two years in sue-- cession. Who fol-lowed the brilliant Guldahl? Byron Nelson, one of the great golfers of all time. Byron Nelson, another Texas pro-duct, belongs to the nonpareils. Who were in there swing- - r all fllnnp the playing golf, such as Perry Adair, R. Watts Gunn, Alexa Stirling, Crawford Rainwater and many oth-ers. The present Woman's Champ-ion is an Atlanta girl, one of the country's best. It got to be that way in Texas. I recall when Ralph Guldahl came along, they began to talk about young Jimmy Demaret and then ! Byron Nelson. The rivalry soon be-came so keen that golfers such as Ben Hogan really went to work. No golfers ever worked hard-er than Hogan and Nelson to perfect their swings. Hour after hour, month after month, year after year, they hit an incredi-ble number of practice shots. Tbey got their swings almost perfectly grooved for every type of shot. I've seen Hogan work two hoars on one type of shot from 90 yards off the green. The Texans often worked together, more than willing to help each other out when any kink at-tacked a swing. I recall one occasion where Hogan won a Open tournament with 263 for the 72 holes, a new record-somet- hing like 26 under par. Yet next day Ben was out taking a les-son and working over a slight change in his grip. Looking Back The National League got away Ilka a flash. It won four of the first five modern world series' contests. The A. L. was almost a joke, meeting the Cubs and Giants. But the tide turned as tides always will. Sinca 1910 the American League has taken over. It must first be admitted tha American League has had most of the great ballplayers: Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Sisler, Speaker, Collins, La-Joi- e, DiMaggio and Feller. The National League can't quita match this collection even with Wagner, Hornsby, Frisch, Hartnett, Musial, Alexander, Mathewson, Traynor, Kling, Hubbell, Dean and Terry. Not quite. Who is going to match Ruth and Cobb for a starter? Name four or five? Gehrig or Sisler? Wagner was the greatest National Leaguer. i Hornsby was next. It might ba i Musial is third. i Grantlind Rid route? Llovd Maa" grum and Jimmy Demaret, also from Texas. What state or section ever gave the game so many star golfers as Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Lloyd Mangrum, Ralph Guldahl and Jim-my Demaret? When Billy Maxwell, a stylist, captured the recent Amateur Championship, Texas owned practically all the upland country. When Miss Rawls finally moved past Babe Didrikson to win the Women's Open, it was all Texas. The recent victory of young Miss Rawls at Atlanta recalls again the number of brilliant women golfers Texas has given the game. I played with Babe Didrikson in Los Angeles back In 1932, 19 years ago when she was just starting out. She has proved tc be the finest woman golfer the game has ever known, able at times to turn in a 68 or a 67. In recent years, Texas has turned out a remarkable group of girl stars, includig, among oth-ers, Peggy Chandler, a low-7- 0 shoot-er. California set something of a rec-ord in the number of tennis stars it developed, year after year. But California's tennis colony doesn't match the class of men and women Texas has given to golf. Why should one state, a state even as big as Texas is, keep such a grip on one sport? One reason is that one star can work up increased local Interest among the kids. For example, you may recall when Bobby Jones came along in Georgia. Before you could turn around, all types of kids were ov" " im m uckici --wjuw average catcher, infield and out- - f field, had to struggle along with ona good pitcher.

J s TEEN-AG- E LOVE CORNER By Richard Hill Wilkinson was only natural that Rose ITshould be thrilled at thoughts of meeting Loring Hunt. After all, Loring Hunt was the most glamor-ous of modern day screen stars. . . And Rose well, in.it. Rose was JUSt an" 3M other young girl with dreams. I I She had fallen in love with Loring Hunt when she was 12 years old. Maturity had rather dampened her enthusiasm; at least she never betrayed the real depths of it. When told of Loring Hunt's pend-ing arrival Jerry had snorted. "What!" he cried disgustedly. "That sap coming here? To your house? Why, your mother must be out of her mind!" "Mother's far from out of her mind," Rose replied furiously. "It's only common decency that she ask Mr. Hunt to stay with us while he's in town. His father and mine were close friends. Since Daddy's death, the Hunts have been splendid to mother." She added spitefully: "We're giving a party in Loring Hunt's honor and I guess you'd bet-ter not come." "Try and keep me away," said Jerry. "I'm not letting the girl I'm engaged to run around unprotected with that lizard In the vicinity." "We're not engaged," Rose told him. "We're practically engaged," said Jerry. A week later Loring Hunt arrived. He was wearing a mustache and colored glasses, both of which he removed as soon as he was inside the house. "It's my defense," he smiled by way of explanation. "I'd be mobbed without them." Loring was all and more than she "I look nnder SO, eh?" Loring chuckled. "They do marvelous things in Hollywood." had expected. There were a few grey hairs about his temples, but what are a few grey hairs when the man of her dreams was here in the flesh and seeming to take a particu-lar interest in her. At least Rose imagined he was taking a particular interest in her, DURING the first of the evening assumed an attitude oi aloofness. He stood in a corner and tried to look disdainful and superior. But when this attitude failed to im-press Rose he abandoned it, and took to following her around. Toward the end of the evening Loring Hunt asked her if she'd meet him outside on the terrace in five minutes. "Quite a trick, getting away from that crowd," Loring Hunt smiled. He drew her to a hammock and sat down. "I wanted to have a few moments alone with you before 1 left." "Yes?" whispered Rose. "You remind me so much of youi father. He, was a fine man. I re-member him well." "You remember my father? But 1 was only a child when he died!" "You were at that," said Loring Hunt. "I was young too." H sighed. "Ah, mel How time doe fly. Here I am almost 50 and " "Fifty 1" cried Rose. "Why, 1 thought. that is in youi pictures " "I look under 30, eh?" Lorin chuckled. "They do marveloui things in Hollywood. But, here Let's not talk of me. Tell me aboul yourself. Are you in love? I no ticed a fine looking boy giving yoi a lot of attention." Rose was a bit overcome. She hadn't dreamed that her ideal was was an old man! She started to speak, but a figurt had glided up and was standing ii front of them. It was Jerry. In tht pale light she could see the set loot to his jaw. "Ah," said Loring Hunt, rising "here he is now. We were Just talk Ing about you, young man. Rosi was telling me well, rather I was telling her that it was a pit her father couldn't have lived ti see his daughter grown to woman hood." "Yeah?" said Jerry. There was a pause, Rosa leapc to her feet "Mr. Hunt was ask ing me if I'm in love and and I told him yes. I told him I wa in love with you. Jerry." Slowly Jerry relaxed. Rose hai taken his arm and was hanging for dear life. It was a good thing he told himself importantly, fo Loring Hunt, that she had come t her senses. GRASSROOTS , Rural Population Is Salvation of Today's Civilization By Wright A. Patterson THE FIRST WEEK of December, will mark the end of 11 years that I have been writing this column. Through those eventful 11 years I have, on many occasions, recalled the content of that first column, but I have never reprinted it. It contained a prophecy, made to me by Arthur Balfour, whom during World War I, I considered the most capable, the most discern-ing of the British statesmen. The time was the day that marked the close of that con-flict In November of 1918. The place was a parlor In the Savoy Hotel an the Strand in London. In that parlor we listened to the wildly hilarious Londoners, millions of them, expressing their joy over the close of the war. Balfour put down the window that he might make himself heard, and then said to me: 'Today we English and all the others of the allied world are crazed with Joy over the ending of the war. They do not realize that the world faces a more serious problem now than at any time dur-ing the last four years. We know what has happened in Russia; we know that France, Italy and the Balkans are on the verge of Bolshevism; in England we are seriously affected, and in the great citiea of America the virus is working. "Within m (omparativtly short timt wt will hi tngtged in snothtr global Hrvgglt that will mrrk lb tnd of ftviliuiion in Europt ts ui bv known and injoyed it. Our hop of having it returned to us lies in the rural population of America, the peo-ple of your towns, your villages and farms, Tbey or the safest, sanest people in the world today. If Amer-ica stays out of that coming conflict, those people of rural America will bring our civilization bach to us within one or two generations. If America joins in that conflict, she will lose her civilization, and it will take centuries, rather than only gen-erations, to get it back." It was a startling, an unbelievable statement, but I have lived to see much of what Balfour said come to pass. There was that second global war, more destructive, mora terrible, than the first one. Con-siderable portions of Europe are today living under tha blighting in-fluence of Communism; England has turned to socialism, and France and Italy are on the verge. I have lived to see the victorious Demo-cratic party, dominated by the socialistic New Deal, and this fol-lowed by the even more dangerous Fair Deal. We are moving toward socialism at an all too rapid pace. Since that first week in Decem-ber, 1940, with that Balfour pro-phecy before me as a text, I have endeavored to convince my rural audience, the people of the villages, the towns and the farms, of the dangers in the trend of the social-istic left. I have hoped to cause them to realize their part in the saving of the nation and the world civilization. For us. the destruction will be marked by personal and na tional bankruptcy, caused largely by the effort to meet the demand of those seeking something for nothing. "With the coming of bank-ruptcy there will be nothing from which to provide that something that is expected. I have seen that second and greater conflict come and the Hitler legions destroyed. But with that conflict there was de-stroyed much of the European civilization. Poland and the Bal-kan states have been enveloped within the destructive folds of Communism; Franca and Italy' are on the verge. England has gone socialistic, and we in the United States hava fol-lowed the New Deal, and then the Fair Deal, along the socialistic trail. My feeble efforts, as well as tha efforts of many others of great-er ability and with larger audi-ences, have been outweighed by the something for - nothing provided through doles to the farmers for not planting or high food prices. They proved more effective than mere words, and they have fol-lowed the Pied Piper of socialism, until we are now standing on the brink of the precipice. Because the Jeffersonian Democrats of the south refused to follow the socialis-tic program, we are still on that brink. We have one last chance to escape the abyss. That is the next national elec-tion. If we at that time defeat the forces of destruction, we can turn back from that socialistic brink. IgHS MS X HANDLE.
