DeSapio spearheaded the nomination of Averell Harriman as the Democratic candidate. Should Harriman winand newspaper polls show him leading DeSapio will be in this position: His organization will have the prestige of breaking the 12-year Republican grip on the nation's most populous state. It will control the huge and influential New York delegation to the presidential nomination conil vention in 1956.

Tirestone Front End Brake Special Construction on the new Antelope Valley golf course will start Dec. 1, according to Budd Aven, Lancaster, president of AV Country Club Improvement Co.

Aven said the required $350,000 In stock has been subscribed, which is adequate to complete the 9-hole all-grass course on 10th Avenue West between Lancaster and Palmdale, plus a pro shop. The construction date was set at a meeting this week of the hoard of directors and William Bell, Beverly Hills golf course architect, who designed the course. Bell said the site, a rolling terrain covered with large Joshua trees and elevated for a sight of mountains on all sides of the Valley, is "one of the finest golf course sites" he has ever seen. Plans for the new golf facility started two years ago, were accelerated when the Air Force bought the Flute Country Club north of Lancaster last winter, leaving Antelope Valley golfers with no place to play nearer than Apple Valley.

Overruling the Philadelphia Art Commission, which voted on Sept. 22 to end a 78-year-old controversy by bringing the bust out of storage the National Park Service yesterday decided that it would be to put the statue on view. The decision was made, said M. O.

Anderson, superintendent of Inpendence National Historical Park, "after careful review of the National Park Service policy." The bust, completed in 1876, Is ineligible for Independence Hall proper because only art created in the period from 1776 to 1787 is permitted there, Anderson said.
