Congressman Harris Ellsworth has informed members of the Jackson County Walton chapter on the Savage Rapids dam screening matter that a Depart ment of Interior construction and rehabilitation appropria tions bill will not come from the appropriations committee nor be ready for House of Rep resentatives action for about three weeks. Ellsworth has asked the com mittee to include in the bill a sum not to exceed $208,000 for screening the irrigation district intake turbines at Savage Rap ids dam on Rogue river. Screen ing is sought to prevent destruc tion of downstream migrating fish. Unscreened turbines have been listed as probably the lead ing factor in decline of salmon and steelhead runs on the Rogue. Waltonians hera have made the screening matter one of their main projects this year. No Indication The Ellsworth proposal was made March 28 to the appro priations subcommittee on pub lic works. He told Waltonians that he has been unable to gath er at this point any indication of what the thinking of the com mittee is generally- on the matter. The congressman has sent to Col. Paul Weiland, Medford, a state Waltonian director, a copy of his request to the subcom mittee. He pointed out, in the statement, the national import ance of the screening ana asked that the funds be appro priated on a non-reimbursable basis. The continuing loss of fish on Rogue river, Ellsworth said, adversely effects not only the river, itself, but reduces the fish ery resources along the Pacific coast as far north as Alaska. He reported to the subcommit tee that the economic values to be gained by providing the screen protection are many times the cost involved. Oilers Win In Olympic Trial Finale Kansas City, Mo.

L,, .-.29 - V Leon Hart To Get Duty At Fullback By LLOYD NORTHARD Detroit U.R) The start of the 1956 National Football League season is almost half a year away but Leon Hart, the former All-America end from Notre Dame, wishes it would get underway tomorrow. Hart, the 250-pound veteran of six seasons with the Detroit Lions, is slated for full-time study at fullback and he likes the idea. "I played fullback for the final three games last season and really enjoyed myself," Hart said. "It's rough. The ball at tracts a lot of attention. But I liked it and I'm looking forward to the 1956 season. The six-foot, five-inch Hart, who had dished out plenty of punishment during his football career, figures it's worth taking some punishment to realize the dream of all linemen. Secret Yearning "There isn't a lineman around who doesn't secretly yearn to be a back," Hart said. "I'm getting my chance and I intend to make the most of it." When Hart broke in with the Lions in 1950 after an illustri ous career at Notre Dame, he was regarded as one of the top pass catchers in the game. He lived up to the reputation until fleet defensive backs found they could out-maneuver him. When that happened, big Leon was shifted to defensive end and used primarily to menace rival passers. Hurlers Ease Worries of Tribe Pilot By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Bob Lemon and Bob Feller had Manager Al Lopez con vinced at long last today that they'll be major factors in help ing the Cleveland Indians try to recapture the American League pennant. The 35-year-old Lemon and the 37-year-old Feller eased Lopez worries Wednesday when they teamed for a 5-hit per formance that gave the Indians a 2-0 triumph over the New York Giants at Austin, Tex. Lemon yielded four hits for six innings and then Feller com pleted the shutout when he -allowed only one blow the re mainder of the way. With opening day less than two weeks distant, the pitching seemed to be improving all around the Grapefruit Circuit. Reds Beat Nats The Cincinnati Redlegs got 5-hit pitching from Bill Kennedy, Brooks Lawrence and Hershel Freeman to beat the Washing ton Senators, 5-0. Dick Marlowe and Bob Miller, meanwhile, teamed up in a 7-hit job to pitch the Detroit Tigers to a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Pirates snapped Art Cecc.-relli's string of 20 score less innings by scoring three times in the second inning and went on to beat the Kansas City Athletics, 4-2. The Philadelphia Phillies, also getting capable pitching, scored three runs off Bob Grim in the eighth inning to down the New York Yankees, 4-3. Vince Martinez Pummels Diaz Miami Beach, Fla. fu.R) Vince Martinez' lopsided televi sion victory over Miguel Diaz will be followed "within a week" by the offer of a $100,000 guarantee for a bout with welter weight champion Johnny Sax ton, Martinez' manager said to day. Manager Bill Daly said the offer would be made in New York City and that he hoped a Saxton-Martinez bout could be held there "but anywhere will suit us." " Martinez, fourth-ranked wel ter walloper, outclassed Cuban champion Diaz throughout their 10-rounder at Miami Beach Au ditorium and earned the unani mous decision of all three ring officials. He floored the Cuban twice and only the final bell prevented him from scoring a clean knockout.

Don Bowden Could Be First Yank To Crack 4-Minute Mile Barrier B7 HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.R) The first American to crack the four minute barrier in running the mile may 1 be 19-year-old Don Bowden, a skinny University of California sophomore. Bowden is so good that, after only three runs at that distance, he already has a 4:08.2 record. "Don right now can be tabbed a good Olympic prospect," says his coach, Brutus Hamilton.
