S. riders appeared completely out ot it. After the opening day of dressage competition, Germany's riders unofficially led the rat ings with an average of 100.4 points per rider. Great Britain was next with a 101.6 mark. Best To Com , But Germany's best rider, August Luetke Westhues, still was to compete in the windup of the dressage competition to day and he was expected to lower Germany's average below 100. The points are assessed against riders for various penal ties and the rider with the few est points is the winner. ' The riders In the dressage events bring their mounts through a series of intricate ma neuvers, 31 complicated school figures, in a 20 by 60 meter rectangle. In other unofficial point rat ings, Russia was third at 115, Sweden fourth with 119.6, France fifth with 125.6, Canada sixth with 127, Switzerland sev enth with 127.8. and Finland eighth with 130.2. The Ameri can were 17th in the field of 19 with a team average of 159. Only Ireland with 159.6 and Spain at 170 8 trailed the Americans. U. S. Bitter - The U. S. riders and trainers privately were bitter over the scoring. "I can't figure out how 23 Cases of Diseases Reported Last Week Twenty - three communicable diseases were reported to the Jackson county department of health for the week ending June 9, according to Dr. A. Erin Mer kel, public health physician. Diseases reported were infec tious mononucleosis, one, in Ashland; chicken pox. one in Shady Cove and Medford; strep throat, one in Medford; influ enza, two in Medford and Phoe nix m;easles, seven in Medford, two Phoenix, and one in Gold I Hill; pneumonia, one in Med-J ford: pink eye, three in Ashland; and mumps, one in Gold Hill. those five judges scored Mai. Jonathan Burton," said Maj. John Borg of The Dalles, Ore., after Burton Of Fort Polk, La., was tagged with 155.6 penalty points. Another American, Frank Duf fy, Birmingham, Ala., was hit even harder. He had 162.4 pen alty points. Burton was 27th and Duffy 28th after the Monday competition. The third American in the dressage event, Walter Staley Jr., of Mexico, Mo., will ride today. Emeralds in Second Spot By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer The Eugene Emeralds gave the big-inning technique a work out in last night's Northwest league baseball play and it paid off with a 7-5 decision over Wenatchee. Eugene had been blanked for seven innings by Chuck Lybeck but in the eighth the Emeralds sent up 12 hitters who produced five singles, a triple, a double and two walks for seven runs. The victory moved the Emer alds into second place ahead of Lewiston. Don Baker of Yakima al lowed 10 hits but spaced them nicely for a 6-2 victory over Lewiston. The Broncs scored one in the second on Joe Riney's solo homer and got their final tally in the seventh on Joe Ja cob's double and a single by Doug Osbourn. Yakima got one in the first and added three more in the sec ond on a three-run homer by Pete Mikacich. The Bears fin ished up with two runs in the eighth on two singles around a double by Herm Lewis. The two games were the only league action although the Spo kane Indians battled the Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast league to a 5-5 tie in 10 innings in an exhibition game. ti IS 1 - It . ' ; s- J - SLOW START Defending champ Sam Snead drops one in the cup during annual round-robin tournament at New Rochelle, N. Y. He wound up the first round with a 72 and a tie for eighth place. SERVICEMEN WARNED Rabat. Morocco (U.R) The U.S. 17th Air Force warned all servicement Monday to keep off the streets of Moroccan towns between midnight and dawn be cause of a number of early morning attacks on American personnel. Hogai Top n, Snead Threats In U. S. Open Rochester, N.Y. U.PJ Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, two of golfing's gray-beards, came out of the preliminary practice rounds today as the men to beat for the U. S. Open championship starting Thursday. Although neither has burned up the tree-lined 6,902-yard Oak Hill Country Club course thus far, they are the names you hear when you discuss the possible winners. Hogan Old Hand It wouldn't be anything new for the 43-year-old Hogan if he won, for he has taken four U.S. Open titles and is seeking to be come the first man to win five. But it "would be- something new for the 42-year-old Snead, who has won every title in the game except this biggest one of all. Snead, who has been runner- up four times and is competing in his 16th Open, isn't too happy about his game right now, but observed that he might "get hot starting Thursday." "I sure hope so," he said smil ing. "It's about time I won this one, isn't it?" Furgol Picks Snead Among those who are picking the Slammer from the West Vir ginia hills is Ed Furgol, who won Man Can Still Lessons From Washington As man shrinks his world with faster and farther-ranging aircraft, he can still take lessons from the birds that inspired his early yearning to ay. The earth's most tireless trav elers, birds regularly perform amazing feats of endurance and navigation. The Arctic tern, farthest voy ager of them all, nests as far north as there is any ground to nest on. The other half of the year it spends in the Antarctic. Traveling more than 22,000 miles yearly, the birds fly south along the coast of Europe and Africa to the Antarctic Circle re turning north by the east coast of South America, over the At lantic Ocean to Labrador and Greenland. One tern was found recently on a beach near Perth, Australia. It had been banded in Sweden, 10,000 miles away. Plovers Navigate Expertly While no other bird matches the tern's journeys, many per form prodigies of travel and ac curate navigation. Pacific golden plover nest in Alaska and wintei in New Zeal- land. They make the trip by way of Hawaii and the tiny coral islands of the Pacific, locating them unerringly after flights of 2.400 miles over trackless ocean. That is a respectable accomplish ment for a pilot with intricate navigation aids in his cockpit and a half million dollars worth of radio equipment on the ground. Bobolinks that arrive in the United States in spring have completed a 6,000 journey. From their wintering grounds on the pampas of Brazil and Argentina, they fly over the vast forests of the Amazon in early March, swarming north to the Carib bean. They traverse that sea in a single night, visiting Cuba be fore they arrive in New York and New England in early May. the Open title two years ago. "This course is made to ord er for him," Furgol said. "This course requires a long hitter and that's Snead. And if he's a little wild off the tees with those booming shots of his, it won't hurt him for the rough is short and easy to play from. You can put your drive in the rough and still have a good chance for a birdie." Snead played the Oak Hill course for the first time Monday and really scrambled. He tried out a new putter, but after miss ing several short ones, went back to his old one. He didn't keep score of the practice round, but observed "It was pretty high. Take Flying the Birds When fall comes, they make the same trip in reverse. In an ornithological experi ment, a Manx shearwater no big ger than a pigeon was carried from its breeding ground in Britain to Boston. Released in territory none of its kin had ever been, it struck out across the Atlantic and arrived home 3, 200 miles away in 13 days. What drives birds on such journeys, and how do they find their way? Many theories have been advanced, none proved. 1.000 Miles to the Ounce That birds are well equipped for travel is evident in the effi cient use they make of their fuel body fat. The ruby-throated humming bird, no larger than a moth, flies 500 miles nonstop across the Golf of Mexico. The Atlantic golden plover, flying more than 2,000 miles from Nova Scotia to South America, uses only two ounces of fat. With all their ability, how ever, birds sometimes need a helping hand from their imita tors. Early, cold snaps in Austria sometimes kill thousands of mar tins and swallows as they at- A GREAT VALUE COMES TO OREGON!

About the possible marriage, the playwright said firmly, but politely "it is my business, frankly." "I know you have a job to dq, but it's your job against my privacy," he ;aid, adding some what dramatically, "It's a re morseless -conflict." The curvacious Miss Monroe was not at the airport to meet Miller, who received an uncon tested divorce from his wife in Nevada Monday. He was met by an unidentified male friend, with whom he drove off in a car to an undisclosed destination in Manhattan.
