The House has passed five major bills totalling $12,300,000, 000, with six more to go for fiscal 1957. Increases included $135,500,000 for medical research, $9,000,000 wore than Mr. Eisenhower re quested; $39,300,000 for grants t states for maternal and child welfare, an increase of $4,000,- C00; $29,200,000 for vocational education, up $2,700,000; and $15,000,000 for construction at SPORTS Vancouver Mounties Beat Hollywood, 7-5 Anaheim, Calif. U.R) Jim Pison's two-run homer yesterday led the Vancouver Mounties to a 7-5 win over the Hollywood Stars. The Mounties cinched the vic tory in the sixth inning with a four-run rally. Gair Allie, Bill Mazeroski and Bill Onuska hit homers for the losers. The Stars today took on the University of Southern California at Los Angeles. Oregon Hands Linfield 8-1 Baseball Defeat McMinnville (U.R) The Uni versity of Oregon pounded out nine hits and took advantage of three Linfield miscues here yes terday to win the season opener for both clubs, 8-1. Tom Bowen, Fred Bell and Terry Maddox all banged out two hits for the Ducks. Vern Marshall and Dick Shaw col-J lected a pair of safe blows for the Wildcats.

(U.R) Full back Bobby Barrett of South Carolina had the dubious honor of downing his own punt in the team's intra-squad game last weeft end. He kicked into a 25-to-30 mile an hour wind and the result was a four-yarder which probably would have been a minus-yardage boot if Bobby hadn t downed it. BAN GAMES Storrs, Conn. (U.R) Albert N. Jorgensen, president of the Yan kee Conference and the Univer sity of Connecticut, announced today the circuit has banned all post-season football games for its members. Last year, Rhode Island played in the Refrigerator Bowl after obtaining permission from the conference. national parks, boosted by 59,800,000. Money Increased Also added to the President's requests were $2,000,000 to re pair and keep open a Veterans Administration hospital at Mc Kinney, Tex., in speaker Sam Rayburn's district, and $1,500,- 000 for rehabilitation of the VA hospital at Nashville, Tenn. But the biggest increase, S305, 000,000, has little vote getting appeal. The House ap proved $600,000,000, instead of the $295,000,000 requested, to pump up the Civil Service Com mission's retirement and , dis ability fund. The House Appro priations Committee complained that the government was not putting up its share of the fund while federal workers continued to make their contributions. , Most Items Cut Although the House increased several of the President's re quests, it has continued to whit tle away at most other items, including such favorite targets as civil defense, for which it allowed $86,100,000, or $37,100, 000 less than Mr. Eisenhower asked. The House provided $1,900, 000,000 for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, a net cut of $22,800,000 despite increases in some items such as medical research; and $380,000, 000 for the Labor Department, cut $40,700,000. On some - of the bills, cuts have been comparatively minor. The House approved $3,600,000, 000 for the Post Office and Treasury Department, cut only 531,000,000; and $415,900,000 for the Interior Department and re lated agencies, cut only $10,700,000. Truman Confers With Harriman; Still Neutral New York (U.R) Former President Truman, a self-styled neutral in the contest for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, conferred today with "inac tive candidate" Averell Harri man. Mr. Truman and New York's governor talked across the break fast table at Harriman's town house after the two old friends had enjoyed a 10-block constitu tional together. Just Social Visit "This is just a social visit;" Mr. Truman told reporters with a twinkle in his eye. "I was in vited and I never turn down a free meal." Mr. Truman said again that he would remain "neutral" until convention time in August. Har riman repeated his description of himself as an "inactive" candi date for the presidential nomina tion. The 64-year-old governor said he was "feeling fine" when asked if he was in good enough health to assume the rigors of the White House. "When I'm ready to make an announcement, I'll let you know," Harriman told reporters. Kefauver Holds Respect Harriman said Sen. Estes Ke fauver (D-Tenn.), a leading con tender for the Democratic nomi nation, "has. the respect of a great many people in this coun try." But he said he did not con sider Kefauver's primary vic tories to date as "true tests" of the senator's popularity. Mr. Truman and Harriman had not conferred privately since a similar breakfast last Feb. 2 Their meetings have been con sidered important by political observers in view of the jockey ing among Harriman, Kefauver, and Adlai E. Stevenson for the Democratic nomination. Public Carriers' Costs Skyrocketing Los Angeles (U.R) Americans travel high, wide and handsome, but according to a University of California transportation ex pert, the capital cost to public carriers competing for patronage has skyrocketed. As one example, Dr. Lewis C. Sorrell pointed out, in 1942 the cost of a new passenger plane was about $120,000 or $6,000 per seat. "Today's new jet airlines have price-tags of $5,000,000 or $50, 000 per seat..'" Sorrell said. "A similar trend has affected the railroads. A new day coach in the 1920s cost about $20,000 and carried more passengers than to day's model does for it cost of S100.000." BETTING TIME SET Louisville, Ky.
