WILSON United Prest Correspondent Washington !U.P; That old one about the U.S. Senate being thn vnrld's most rxclusive club i mostly hok um, there be ing usually in the Senate one or more indi v i d u als who couldn't buy their wav into the Loyal Or dcr of Musk- rats. The Sen LMT t UMID ate does have its traditions, however. One of them is the unwritten ''person ally obnoxious'' rule. Obnoxious is a rough word meaning, vari ously, evil, offensive, objection able, odious, hateful. When- a senator says an individual nom inated for high office by the President is personally obnoxi ous to him. that senator has said a mouthful. So. six senators jointly sent a letter to their 90 colleagues saying that the nomination of Solicitor General Simon E. Sobe loff to bp a federal judge on the fourth circuit bench "is obnoxi ous to our states and to us." The senators, all Democrats, were Scott and Ervin, N.C., Woffard SPORTS Hillman Leads Coast Hill Men With .733 Mark San Francisco U.R' Dave Hillman (11-4) of Los Angeles paced the Pacific Coast league hurlers today with a winning percentace of .733 while Cloyd Boyer (6-5 of Sacramento had fashioned a 2 41 earned run :mark which stamped him as the loop's most effective pitcher. Elmer Singleton (13-5) of Seat tle continued to lead with the most triumphs while Eddie Er autt (6-15) of San Diego had suf fered the most defeats. Dick Drott (10-6) of the first ; place Los Angeles Angels stayed ahead for the most strikeouts having fanned 135 batters. Pete Mesa (5-9) of San Diego had given up 92 bases on balls to lead in passes and Bill Werle (10-9) Portland shoved ahead of - Sinuleton for workhorse honors with a loitgu'-leadiiig total of 139 innings pitched. Grants Pass Squeaks Win Grants Pass cubs slipped home with a run in the extra inning to heat Medford 3 to 2 in a junior '. baseball game played here yes- terday. ; The teams were tied 2-all at the end of regulation seven in ; nings. Grants Pass pitcher Hayes . singled in his team's half of the ; eighth to bring in Patterson. third baseman, with the winning : tally. Batteries for Grants Pass were Benner, Hayes who relieved in ' the fifth inning, and Dierks and Martell who came in to catch in the fourth. For Medford. Pond , went the distance with Turner catching. Both teams committed three errors. Grants Pass was cred-'- iled with seven hits. Medford with four. Dixon Annexes Jockey Mantle Portland Glen Dixon won seven races in the final week of the season at Portland Meadows to win jockey honors for the 1956 season. The Caldwell. Id., lad rode 326 mounts for the sea son with 49 wins. 46 seconds, and 52 thirds for a total of 146 times .-in the money. A. J. Brandenburg took the ; season's trainer honors despite ;a fast finish by George Dimick. J Branenburg finished the season 1 with 18 wins. 14 seconds, and 12 thirds. Dimick had 13 wins, ; 16 seconds, and seven thirds. Total handle for --i- 1956 I horse racing season a. -iv Mea '. dows set a new record lur the track.

CENTER SIGNED " New York iU.R' Ray Wie techa. offensive center and line backer, has signed for his fourth .season with the New York Giants of the National Football League. ' Wietecha has not .missed a sin- gle minute since becoming the Giant's regular center in 1954. MAIL TRIBUNE and Johnston, SC., Byrd and Robertson, Va. Accused of Prejudice The Fourth Circuit comprises those three states with Mary land and West Virginia. The six senators declared Sobeloff to be j acgressively prejudiced against I the Southern point of view on ' race relations, especially segre- : gation in the public schools I They said he would not be fair to the white citizens under his jurisdiction in their three states. But in the Sobeloff case the "personally obnoxious'' rule did Cot apply and the Senate con firmed his nomination. In the unwritten fine print of that rule it says that the objec- ing scnatorand the nominee to whom he applies the deadly ob jection must hail from the same state. That is to protect a sena tor against a President who might deliberately name a pow erful political or personal enemy to office in a Senator's back yard. Strong Maryland Support Sobeloff had three of five states against him. But he's a Maryland man, and the Mary land senstors were for him strong. He stood well enough in West Virginia, too. If either Maryland senator could have been induced to declare Sobeloff personally obnoxious to him. the nomination doubtless would have been withdrawn. Even though the six objectors did not prevail, they were given Sobeloff a bad start in his career on the bench. His judgments will be under unusual scrutiny among the people with whom he must live and work much of the time. He is likely to en counter a suspicious, even hos tile reception, in the Southern tier of the Fourth Circuit. The last time a "personally obnoxious" nominee was defeat ed for confirmation was Aug. 2. 1955. Sen. W. Kerr Scott (D-N.C.) Veterans Gel Tracts On Hyatt Lake Shore Portland (U.P.!

Pickets Picket Pickets At Eureka Restaurants Eureka, Calif. ;u.R; Eur eka restaurants that had pick ets picketing their pickets said today that business has never been better. The double picket line started last week end when the North Coast Restaurant and Tavern Owners association set up man agement picket lines in front of restaurants that had signed with striking cooks, waiters and bar tenders. These pickets carried signs calling the new contracts a 'sweetheart agreement," be cause they granted the strikers a 10 per cent wage increase, but carried a clause saying that if the unions eventually settle for less, they will revise their contract downward. The unions involved rushed out pickets to picket the man agement pickets. The second picket line carries signs reading: "Fair to Organized Labor." HalibutCatch Predicted High Washington U.R) The U. S. Fish and Wildlife service pre dicted yesterday that commer cial fishermen can expect a "banner catch" of halibut and a good seasonal shrimp catch in the July - August - September quarter. The service, in its commercial fisheries outlook report, said the quarter would mark the open ing of the oyster season and the marketing of increased supplies of canned tuna. Alaska salmon and Main sardines. The report said that the tuna catch to date is 5C per cent above the mid-year mark of last year and that the pack is up 44 per cent. Mid-August will see the American marketing of a new Alaska salmon pack which is expected to equal the below average-pack of last year, the report stated. Tuesday July 17. 1958 made the objection against Mar garet E. Smith, named to be postmaster at Montreat, N.C. She lost on a voice vote. Other 'Obnoxious Nominees' Sen. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) used the unwritten rule to pre vent confirmation of President Truman's nomination of Joseph J. Druckcr and Cornelius J. Harrington to be U.S. district judges for northern Illinois. They were rejected Oct. 9. 1951. Sen. Harry F. Byrd and the late Sen. Carter Glass, both Virginia Democrats, said Presi dent Roosevelt's 1939 nomina tion of Floyd H. Roberts to the federal bench was "personally and offensively obnoxious." FDR wa powerful but his man lost. There are exceptions, how ever. Sen. W.

Hundreds Vaccinated In Chicago Epidemic Chicago U.R' Hundreds of mothers today lined up with their children at emergency in noculation centers here as the number of cases in the city's early outbreak of polio con tinued to cilmb. Dr. Herman N. Bundesen. president of the Chicago Board of Health, said 18 new cases during a 48-hour period pushed the city's total for the year to 169. The death of a two-year-old boy increased one year's death toll to four, he 'said. This contrasted sharply with last year when 34 cases and two deaths were reported during the same period. Sixteen of the 169 victims this year had received Salk polio vaccine. Bundesen reported about 66 per cent of the polio patients were children five years old and younger. He called this the "least innoculated" age group.

MAIN New law Provides Education Benefits For Vet Survivors A new law, recently signed by the president, makes educa tional benefits available to more than 150,000 persons of deceas ed war veterans, S. T. Brannock, officer in charge of the Medford VA office, said today. Oregon will have about 1.400 boys and girls whose fathers lost their lives as a result of World War I. World War II and the Korean conflict who may be eligible, Brannock said. Persons between ages 18 and 23 are eligible, and education may be taken in colleges and universities, as well as below-college-level schools. Regular high school training is not in cluded, nor ar3 on-the-job train ing, on-the-farm training, and correspondence courses. The new law also provides for special restorative training for children with physical or mental disabilities which would hinder pursuit of a regular pro gram of education. Government allowance of $110 is paid to ;..udents if attending full time; S80 for three-quarter time: and S50 for half-time train ing. The allowance for special restorative training is S110 monthlj', which may be increas ed if not sufficient to meet the cost of fees and tuition, Bran nork said. Monthly payments for school will begin Oct. 1. 1956. Exact mechanics of making applica tion have not been set up yet, Brannock said. The youth's parent or guardi an will file application with his nearest VA office. The person will have educational or voca tional counselling, arrangements for which must be made through the VA, to help determine a suitable objective. The VA also will help develop a program of education and an estimate of how much the program will cost. Students will be allowed up to- 36 months of training.

Democrats in the Senate were confident to day of racking up more victor ies in their drive to liberalize social security benefits. The Senate met two hours early to continue debate which began last night on the contro versial social security bill. Dem ocratic leader Lyndon B. John son (Tex.) said he hopes to com plete action by tonight or Wednesday. Approval Predicted Democratic sources predicted almost sure approval of a com promise amendment by Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.) allow ing wives of retired workers and working women to start collect ing retirement benefits at 62 in stead of 65 years. The benefits would be somewhat lower than if they waited until 65 to collect. They also anticipated victory, but by a close margin, for anoth er compromise by Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.) lowering the retirement age to 50 for totally disabled workers. George's amendment increases social se curity payroll taxes to finance the disability benefits. Both parts of the compromise plan are opposed by the Eisen hower administration. The Senate handed the admin istration a setback last night by approving another amendment hiking public assistance pay ments to 3.000.000 needy aged, blind and disabled persons by at least So a month. Amendment Approved The amendment, by Sen. Rus sell B. Long (D-La.) was ap proved by a 62 to 21 vote, with 21 Republicans to oppose it. The Long amendment in creases federal contributions to the federal-state public assist ance program by about $208,- 000.000 a year. It requires states to "pass along"' the increase to the needy aged, blind and dis abled persons on public assist ance rolls. Through a change in the federal-state matching formula, the Actress Cathy Downs Will Marry Executive Hollywood (U.R) Actress Cathy Downs, 29. and business executive Bob Brunson, 34, will be married Saturday at Com munity Presbyterian church in nearby Beverly Hills.
