O. un A sharpshoot tag Jack Burke, 30-year-old trans planted Texan from Kiamesha Lake, N. Y., birdied four straight holes on the bade nine Saturday to take a two-stroke lead at the 54 hole mark in the $13,000 Inverness Invitational Golf Tournament. Burte was deadlocked at 132 with Freddie Haas of New Orleans as the field of 30 selected profes sionals started Saturday in 98-de-gree heat Haas took the lead by two strokes at the end of 45, and then Burke came roaring down the stretch in a three-under-par 33 despite missing par on the 17th. With three-fourths of the 72-bole medal play test out of the way, Burke had a score of 201, a dozen under par. Haas skidded to a par 71 for a 203 total as he fell out of the lead for the first time in the race for the 33,400 top prize. Burke, suffering with influenza and "filled with penicillin," said he hadn't eaten for two days but planned to have a big steak Satur day night Haas, with an aching back, lost a stroke to par on the back nine with a 37, the first time he's been over the card. Skip Alexander, who moved into contention Friday with a seven-under-par 64, rdded a 69 to match Burke's effort. That left Skip, still hampered by plane accident injur ies incurred several seasons ago, in third place with 206, five off the pace. i Webf oots Get Pirate Stars .

Sewer Time Taaa '52 Navy's winning time for. the straightaway three-mile course was 15 minutes, 29.6 seconds 21.5 slower than their victorious race a year ago when the shell was helped by a strong following wind. Cornell's Big Red, rated an out sider, collared Washington within sight of the finish line, and shot past the markers in 15:34.9. Washington was clocked , in 15:36.2, followed by Wisconsin in 15: 41 J. - I Then strung out along were Columbia. California, Pennsylvan ia, Princeton, Syracuse. M. L T. and Stanford in that order. At a mile and a half halfway point in the gruelling test Wash ington forged to the front for a brief moment, taking a half length lead over Navy, with Cornell con tinuing a strong challenge, The midshipmen regained the lead at the two-mile point, a half length ahead of the hard-rowing Huskies with Princeton, Wisconsin and Cornell pursuing. Hasldes Sport As the knife-like shells shot down the stretch in front of the open grandstand. Washington, upping its beat to 36, made its challenge and it looked for a while that this would be good enough to complete a triple triumph for the boys from the Northwest. But Navy, with a powerful push behind a fast 38 beat, met the dare head-on, shooting ahead and opening up water between the pur suers. Washington tired and Cornell put on a fresh spurt to eke out second place. Washington's junior varsity snapped a 13-race Navy winning record in the three-mile- JV race with a sweeping six-length victory. Taking the lead at the start and moving steadily ahead, the Husk ies won the race in 16:30.6, with Navy pursuing at 16:55.1 The freshman race also went to the Huskies, who sped over the two-mile route in 10:55.4 to beat Cornell by two lengths, Kids Day Set, Waters Field It's Kids' Day at Waters Field today, an all-free project spon sored by the Salem Optimist Club that will see numerous novelty races for boys and girls, and a donkey baseball game featuring the Salem Fire and Police De partments.

Unemployoment has been rising in the U orthwest for the past : two to three years during the same ficriod when unemnimnent ' mcroM um vxaon at urge cropped and jobs nil an aii-ume peak. During this period from 1950 until 1933, , when thr defense buildVup sparked by the Korean War brought expansion to defense-approved industrial facili ties, here is what was happening to the national economy: L Government agencies ap proved investments in new pro duction facilities of $23.250,?96 000, granting to the firms in volved rapid tax -r mortizatlon certificates: which permit part o: the investment cost to be written off for tax purposes in five years.

Unemploymennt which had risen to a post-war high of 3,384,- 000 in 1950. fell off to 1.500.000. with monthly fluctuations up and down. ' . X- ', ' x At the same time, unemploy ment in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho showed a steady increase of 2SJ9 per cent, according to figures compiled by the Labor Department. Its report on the region's employment conditions drew this conclusion: Industrial Lag ' "It is clear, that not only has the labor force of the Pacific Northwest been increasing at rate faster than new job oppor tuntitiea have been created but that, as compared with the na tion as a whole, the lag is par ticularly acute in the field of in dustrial development It has been apparent for some time that the Pacific Northwest has not main tained the rapid rate of indus trial development .which was wit nesses during World War II and immediately thereafter." Actually, employment in Wash ington and Oregon showed slight rise during the mobiliza tion period, but the population continued to increase at a faster rate therefore both states suf fered a net lose which shows up in the unemployment columns. During the two year period from January 1951 to January 1953 the State's population rose 64,000, or 4.1 per cent, taking the population of July, 1950, against that of July, 1952, as calculated by the U. S. Census Bureau. The nation's population . during the same period went up only three per cent Not Enough Jobs This influx of persons into the state increased the labor force o: Oregon by 3 J per cent, but new jobs7,100 of them increased employment by only H per cent Consequently, unemployment went from 40,000 to 53,000, for a 323 per cent gain. Oregon has played a limited role in new defense production. It stands 37th in the roster of states ia which, new defense-approved investment has been made since 1950. Its share was $50,729- 000, according to the last compila tions on a state by state basis. Washington state drew $244 808.000. and Idaho $33,451,000. This was out of the national to tal of over $23,000,000,000. . Reed Silent ! r AfterTax-Talk With President WASHINGTON' (AVRep. Dan iel Reed (R-NY) came -away from a White House conference Saturday without saying whether President Eisenhower naa uixea him out of blocking .extension of the excess profits tax. "I had a very friendly visit,' was all reporters got from the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which nor mally starts all tax bills through Congress. Repeatedly questioned, Reed gave no indication of weakening his adamant stand against Eisen hower's plea ' to extend the ex cess profits tax for six months oast its June 30 expiration date. Except to permit committee hearings, Reed thus far has not relaxed his opposition. He nas maintained that the tax throttles business growth and, further, that a scheduled drop in indi vidual income taxes should be advanced six months to July 3L Eisenhower and other Repub lican leaders, while agreeing the excess profits tax is unfair, con tend it must be kept six more months to bring in 800 million dollars additional revenue to ward balancing the budget Motorists Solves Traffic Problem LITTLE ROCK, .
