“The major and I have agreed the commission will be run strictly according to the law books.” The Governor bypassed Dan M. Cravens, of Franklin, ABC member, in naming Weyland. Cravens indicated he -will pursue his campaign for the 1966 Republican gubernatorial nomination, despite the fact that Palace Guard members have said his 34 years of age are too little and his ABC connection is bad political medicine. Cravens said: “I believe the Republican state convention will select for governor a man with the least political scars from factional fighting. Republicans are tired of hearing candidates calling each other dirty names.” Trade in a Gooc rowr — Decatu.

Turncoats To Be Arrested On Arrival Three Ex-Gl's To Face Arrest Upon Return To States WASHINGTON (INS) — Three turncoat ex-Gl’s released by the Chinese Communists face arerst as soon as th'ey reach the U. S. The army said Monday night that the trio, scheduled to arrive in San Francisco next Friday, immediately will be placed under military guard. The three were among 21 dishonorably discharged servicemen who refused repatriation as prisoners of war captured in Korea and decided to stay with the Communists. Two months ago the trio changed their minds -and asked to be returned to the U. 8. They are Cpls. Lewis W. Griggs, Jacksonville, Tex.; Otho G. Bell, formerly of Hillsboro, Miss.; and 'William A. Cowart of Dalton, Ga. Bell's wife now lives in Olympia, Wash. Two other Americans who changed their minds earlier were Cpl. Edward S. Dickinson of Crackers Neck, Va., and Cpl. Claude J. Batchelor of Kermit, Texas. Dickinson was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor after a court martial. Batchelor received a life sentence which was later commuted to 20 years. The army was careful to point out that Briggs. Bell and Cowart — who are aboard the President Cleveland—are in no way being penalized for their original refusal to come home. Charges to be brought against them will pertain to their conduct as prisoners of war. Cut In Automobile Insurance In State

California Banker Held As Embezzler Embezzled Funds On Bets, High Living SAN DIEGO, Calif. (INS) — The vice president of the only bank in Twentynine Palms, Calif., was held in jail today on an FBI charge that he embezzled funds to finance horse betting and high living. Bank examiners report that the suspect, Roscoe D. Coon, may have taken as much as $678,000 from the Joshua Monument National Bank of Twentynine Palms. However, he is officially charged only with stealing SIO,OOO 'from the institution. The bank's doors were closed Monday before business hours and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, took it into receivership. The FDIC will liquidate the bank and pay off depositors up to $lO,000 each, the limit of FDIC liability. Coon, who is 50 years old, was arrested late Monday at Del Mar Race Track, 20 miles north, of San Diego. He owns the B and R Stables and was making arrangements for some of his horses to enter the races when the season begins Wednesday at the track. FBI agents took him before U. S. commissioner Betty Graydon in San Diego and she set bail at The marshal away to the San Diego county jail. The FBI said that Coon had been losing heavily on the horses for the last year and especially heavily in the last six months. He was seen last Friday, plunging at the SIOO window at Hollywood Park race track in Inglewood, the FBI said. » __ Around The World Race By Airliner Pair Set Out In Opposite Directions SAN FRANCISCO (INS) — A young blonde beauty queen and a globe hopping travel agency executive headed out of San Francisco in opposite directions today in an around the world race by commercial airliner. Both Susan Bryan and Andy Lerios expect to break the existing world record for a commercial air trip around the globe, and the winner of the East vs. West race may be determined by a quirk in scheduling. Miss Bryan, 21-year-old "Miss San Francisco International Airport,” left for New York at 12:40 am. (PDT) aboard an American Air Lines plane. She expected to reach New York pt 1:30 p.m. (EDT), and pick up an Air France flight to Paris. Her schedule calls for arrival back in San Francisco at 11:30 a.m. (PDT) Saturday, after an elapsed time of 106 hours, 55 minutes —well under the commercial air flight record of 115 hours, 38 minutes set in 1952 in a Paris to Paris flight by Jean Marie Audibert. Lerios, who left at 11:19 i>.m. (PDT) Monday night on a Pan American Airways flight for Honolulu, has planned an elapsed time flight of 111 hours, 15 minutes — faster than the record but slower than Miss Bryan. However, the San Francisco travel executive figures he will be able to pick up time by switching to alternate schedules if his flights arrive slightly ahead of time.

Decatur Golfers Enjoy Fine Course Built Here In 1947-Gains Good Play Ji GROUP OF GOLFERS is holing out on the last hole and ready to go to the clubhouse (background). The Decatur course not only offers fine golf for local folk, but yearly attracts regular customers from a sixty-mile area. Owner George MeLean said he hopes in the future (how far he didn t know) to build a new, larger clubhouse.

Decatur golfers, regardless of political affiliations, owe a debt of gratitude to President Martin VanBuren. It was from a land grant from this president to the Hannah family that the ground for the present local golf course was set aside. Started in the fall of 1947 and first opened to the public in the spring of 1949, the Decatur Golf course has been going strong and gaining friends ever since. Last summer nearly 14,000 nine hole rounds were played over the 3,210 yard lay-out. George D. McClean, owner of the course, says that this years play is as good if not better than last year. The Decatur course was designed by Robert Bruce Harris, prominent golf course architech from Chicago. While many people wonder at times whether this gentleman might not have a grudge against people in general, it is conceded that he did a very fine job, „ , ♦ , ... ... . The grass, of which there is quite a lot, is Kentucky blue and chewings fesh on the fairways and old orchard C-52 creeping bent covering the greens. Two men are employed to do the mowing, watering and general maintenence work, and McLean, his wife and son Don take care of the clubhouse. Bob McClenahan holds the known course record for nine holes with a three under par 33. Jim Wall and John Bauman both have 34’3 to thilr credit.

The attractions for golf are ■many. It gives people a chance to get out in the sun and fresh air and work the desk, tractor or factory kinks out of their legs, arms, shoulders, backs and sundry other muscles that most folks didn’t even know they had until they start aching the day after their first round of the spring.

Don, one of the better young golfers in the city, boasts a sub-par 35 as his best nine holes. The faint blur in the upper right of the picture is Don’s driver as even at l/200th of a second, the camera fails to catch a stationary picture.

Also, while it is very seldom played alone, it is strictly an individual sport. His good shots give him a personal thrill that very few can match, and he knows where to blame any bad shots that i crop up. Besides the. general play of the
