"his associates in the Eisenhower
Cabinet" for "the reluctant man

The Eisenhower administra

Benson said farm prices have
increased about 9 per cent in

The increase in- prices, he said
came under flexible price sup

1,000 Trained Men
To Spot Forest Fires
Salem (U.R) One thousand
trained men are in the field to
spot and control forest fires in
Oregon.
James H. Walker, assistant
state forester, said these men
and more than 50,000 loggers
can be called upon in case fire
breaks out anywhere in the 13,
000,000 acres under state pro
tection. Five special cadres have been
organized this year to take over
supervision of fire lines when a
major blaze breaks out.
For the past three years, Ore
gon state units have averaged
only 10.000 acres burned annual
ly. Walker said it is the first
time in state forestry history
that three successive favorable
years have been recorded.

Yakima Keeps!
Lead; Eugene
Keeps Second
By RAY ANDREWS
United Press Sports Writer
The Yakima Bears have dis
covered that one way to stay
ahead in the Northwest League
baseball race is just to keep on
winning.
Accordingly, the Bears turned
in 2-1 and 5-4 victories over Tri
City last night while their near
est challengers, the Eugene
Emeralds, were winning over
Wenatchee 2-0 and 7-5.
Salem topped Spokane 4-1 in
the other game.
Bob Wilson hit a solo homer
and Herm Lewis scored from
third when an attempted kickoff
went wild in the first inning of
the Yakima-Tri-City opener. It
was all Yakima needed.
In the nightcap, the Bears got
their winning run in the seventh
when Pete Mikacich singled,
moved up on a sacrifice and
scored on a single by Eny Wil
cox. Eugene did stay VA games
behind with its two victories
over Wenatchee. Gene Rosen
hurled two-hit ball in the opener
and was never in trouble.
The Emeralds got two runs in
the eighth inning of the night
cap on Carl Hutzler s single, a
double by Jay Dean and another
single to take that one.
Salem got three runs in the
second on singles by Frank Sze-
kula, Ray Webster, Harvey
Koepf and Ron King plus a
throwing error to salt away
their game with Spokane.
King was in plenty of trouble
but managed to space eight Spo
kane hits for the decision.
Jada Believed
Front Yacht
Los Angeles (U.R) Bill
Sturgis' 56-foot yawl, Jada, has
recaptured the lead and was
pulling away ahead today in the
world's longest yacht race from
Los Angeles harbor to Tahiti.
Radio reports Thursday night
placed the San Marino. Calif.,
boat 20 miles ahead of its near
est rival, the Quest out of New
port Beach, Calif. It had been
reported earlier that the Quest
had pulled even with the Jada
in a challenge for the lead in
the 3571-mile race.
The Quest, only craft in the
five-boat fleet plotting positions
in the race, sent the report that
the Jada held a comfortable lead
and was sailing under - good
weather conditions about 720
miles out of Los Angeles har
bor. The Jada has held the lead
since the race got under way
last Saturday.
John P. Scripps scratch boat,
the Nova del Mar, was reported
40 miles behind the leader and
the Celebes, from San Fran
cisco, was progressing about 80
miles astern of the Jada. The
Viveka continued to trail the
fleet about 150 miles in back of
the Jada.

Tennis Men
Selected
The selection for the first
time of an all-time first ten U.S.
tennis players by the USLTA
Executive Committee has been
announced in the official
USLTA Diamond Jubilee Cham
pionships Program for 1956.
William T. Tilden II. 7 times
U.S. champion heads the list of
all-time U.S. tennis greats. The
vote of 35 USLTA officials gave
Tilden 324 out of a possible 350
points based on 10 points for the
first place vote. 9 points for sec
ond place, 8 points for third, etc.
J. Donald Budge won the num
ber two spot with a score of 283
and John A. Krar.ier is third
with 264 points. The other
rankings are: Fourth, William
"Little Bill" M. Johnston; fifth,
H. Ellsworth Vines Jr.; sixth.
Richard A. "Pancho" Gonzales;
seventh, Maurice E. McLouglv
lin; eighth, William A. Lamed;
ninth, R. N. Williams II, and
tenth, Robert L. Riggs.
Lamed and Tilden were
seven-tyne winners of the U.S.
Singles Championship although
neither Tilden nor Lamed was
able to equal the record of the
first U.S. champion, Richard D.
Sears, who won the title seven
times in succession beginning
with the first championship in
1881. Tilden won the champion
ship six successive years, 1920
to 1925 inclusive and again in
1929. Lamed won five times in
a row, from 1907 to 1911 in
clusive, having won his first
title in 1901 which he defended
successfully in 1902.
Each of the other players
named on the All-Time First
Ten has won the U.S. title twice.
Calhoun on
TV Tonight
New York (U.R) Unbeaten
Rory Calhoun, the world's "hot
test" . young .middleweight, risks
his 21 straight victories tonight
in his first Madison Square Gar
den main event against a more
skilled ancfj, experienced oppon
ent, Willie Vaughn, the Cali
fornia stat echampion.
Slugger Calhoun of White
Plains, N. Y., is favored at 13-5
to beat boxer Vaughn of Los
Angeles in the TV-radio . NBC
10-rounder because of his punch
and because of the supposition
that lanky Vaughn will be off
form due to idleness.
California Willie, 23, hasn't
had a fight in nearly 11 months
because of managerial difficul
ties. But now he has a new and
wealthy pilot, and he has train
ed vigorously for this match,
which he hopes will start him
moving toward a title shot.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Cal
houn has been busy. He regis
tered five straight victories this
year. They included three knock
outs, which brought his kayo
total to 11 for his 21 fight. His
best win were a decision over
Jackie Labua and a first-round
knockout over Randy Sandy in
his last bout on May 14. He is
an aggressive, slam-bank hook
er who tries to mow his oppon
ents down.
