I think of you in silence, And often repeat your name, But all that is left to answer mie Is a picture in a frame. A million times needed you. A million times I cried, If Love could have saved you You never would have died.

(AP) A quiet afternoon of golf for two foursomes has left one man in a hospital with a fractured skull, and father and son with seven stiches and four broken golf clubs as evidence all done in the name of etiquette. The fray between the two groups Wednesday on the fairway to the second hole on the Northwest Park public course in the Washington suburb started when one foursome tried to play through the other. The members of the second group said that before they teed off on the first hole they were told there was a slow foursome ahead of them and to play through. Cherry Hill youth drowns while on outing in Penna. MILFORD.

Pa. An 18- year-old Cherry Hill youth drowned in four feet of water Wednesday while on an outing at Lake Wallenpaupack. State police said Brian Ulham of 22 Cooper Run Road was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:35 p.m. after mouthto-mouth resuscitation efforts failed. According to police, Ulham was walking in the lake next to a dock that extended more than 40 feet into the water.

Witnesses told police the youth "went under" for no apparent reason. He was about 39 feet from shore, police said. They said he was pulled from the lake by his brother and an unidentified man. The drowning was ruled accidental by the Pike County coroner. Survivors include his widow Ruth: a son, Dr.

Paul Stillman, director of Hudson Institute in Paris; a daughter, Barbara Bookbinder; and six grandchildren. Services were scheduled for Friday at the Riverside Coney Island Chapel in Brooklyn. When the trailing group found the other foursome they hit their balls close to them. Then, one of the players in the lead group drove one of the balls from the trailing group into the woods, members in both groups said. One of the carts in the trailing group drove up to the leading group and Leonard O'Dell Sr.

of Wheaton, tried to get the man who drove the ball into the woods to retrieve it. This led to pushing and shoving that ended with two men having golf clubs broken over their heads and another man being gouged with the broken end of one of the clubs. One of the members of the trailing group said he yelled the traditional "fore" before he teed off. A member of the second group said they did not hear it. Marjorie Fisher, Upper Marlboro, wife of the man with the fractured skull, said the trailing group "hit a ball over our heads, which you just don't do.

My husband said but they hit three more balls." Mrs. Fisher said her group heard no such signal. Her husband, Richard, is in fair condition in Montgomery (Md.) General Hospital. A spokesman for the Maryland park police said no charges have been made, adding they are investigating the matter. SOVIET SHOWS U.S.

ART MOSCOW (AP) One hundred paintings from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art went on display Wednesday at Moscow's Pushkin Museum. The exhibit is in reply to a U.S. tour of Soviet art and will run for two months. RADNOR, Pa. (AP)Philadelphians expect some discomfort next year when millions of people jam the city during the Bicentennial celebration.

They've been warned about a possible restaurant shortage and toilet crunch. Well, folks, the latest is the three-millioncar traffic jam. A poll released this week estimates three million autos will be driven to Philadelphia next year, and the prediction is making some city officials wince. five extra cars hit the Schuylkill Expressway at 5:30 on a summer afternoon we're in trouble now," says William Grabske, Mayor Frank Rizzo's deputy for transportation. Chilton Research Services conducted the poll.

It came up with the estimate that Philadelphia streets could be crowded next summer by 16,600 extra cars on any given day. The city is planning to provide 16,000 additional parking spaces, so officials don't expect a disaster in parking the extra autos. But getting in, out and around the city is another problem. cannot sustain any additional cars on our highways at peak Grabske says. "Especially the afternoon peaks." Sure, says Ronald DeNadia of the state Transportation Department, the Schuylkill Expressway could handle another 16.000 cars a day-if they use the highway between 10 a.m.

and 3 p.m. "But that's not going to happen," he says. "They're not going to come when we want them to." The Pope is expected in Philadelphia during the Bicentennial, and normal holiday weekends already see the city's roadways jammed withdrivers headed to or from the mountains and the New Jersey shore. "I I don't see how we can handle those cars," DeNadia said. The Chilton poll found that between 13 and 16 million persons will visit Philadelphia next year.

Other estimates have been higher, one even approaching 20 million. Alioto asks ban on police strikes NEW YORK (AP) San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto has called for passage of a California state law that would prohibit strikes by uniformed services such as police and firemen. Emerging from a meeting Wednesday with New York City's Mayor Abraham D. Beame, Alioto defended his invoking of emergency powers to end a strike by police and firemen in his city.
