WTT J SPort Wri,er Parade SPORTS New York TP With Jimmy Demaret it's not hew old you feel, which is why the golfing grandpappy has the sprouts nibbling on their niblicks as they look forward today to the U.

Lightning Disintegrates British Jet Airplane Gainsborough, England HP A Royal Air Force Vampire jet plane was disintegrated by light ning while flying over Gainsbor ough during a thunderstorm Monday. Parts of the plane were scat tered about the town. The body of the pilot plunged through the roof of a new house. j may do it, too. And remember that at Inverness in Toledo, where the Open will be staged June 13-15, the unusual always seems to happen. Here Are Two Examples When it first was held there, in 1920, Ted Ray at 43 became the oldest winner. When it was staged there again in 1931, they came up with the longest playoff as Billy Burke beat George Von Elm in 72 holes. The way he is playing, De maret has to be a good bet even though like another old gaffer named Sam Snead he never has won it. Jimmy should have in 1948, when he came in with a new record of 278. But while he sat in the clubhouse, Ben Hogan came through with a winning 276 In the surprise which attended Jimmy's two earlier triumphs this spring, at Palm Springs and Baton Rouge, Demaret gave with a technical explanation that it was all due to a change in his grip. Actually it was a change in his grip on life. No. 1 Laughing Boy Demaret always has been golf's No. 1 laughing boy. I remember a night before he was to play in the semi-finals of the PGA. At 3 a.m. he still was cutting up liquid touches with the boys and led a foul shooting contest using young Walter Hagen's white calfskin shoes and a giant silver bowl half full of potato salad. The next day he was rubbed out rather rapidly. Passing it off nonchalantly, he coined one of his most widely-used expressions: "Oh, well in at four out in 40. Now, as befits one of golf's elder statesmen, he still has the zest but the extreme exuberance has been brought under control Considering that he always had the game, he remains one of those to beat. And in the Open they must hole them all, so easy-going James won't be beating himself by conceding so many putts, as he has done so often in the past.

(International) Senate Passes Bill For Reorganization Of School Districts Salem (IP) The Oregon Sen ate late Monday passed a much amended House bill 163 provid ing for reorganization of Ore gon school districts into a fewer number of districts known as administrative school districts. The vote was 18-12. The bill now must go back to the House for concurrence in Senate amendments. Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Mil waukie Democrat, said this was "probably the most far-reaching and basically important" , piece of education legislation at this session. It would reduce some 700 school districts in Oregon to some 200 in a five-year pe riod. Amendment Explained Sweetland said one of the ob jection's to the bill as it passed the House was that if a majority of voters of, say three present districts, voted to merge into an administrative school district, it would be compulsory for all the three to merge, even though one, perhaps the smaller of the three, may have voted 100 per cent against merger. Under Senate amendment, if 60 per cent of the voters of a district voted against merger, then it would not have to join even if the other two districts voted a heavy enough margin to make a majority of the three districts. Convention To Be Called Sen. Philip Lowry, Medford Republican, said the bill repre sented "a monumental piece of work." He said a county con vention would be called to work out plans for school district re organization with the county, and submit the plans to the vot ers of the districts. Sen. Warren Gill, Lebanon Republican,' objected to the bill on grounds it had what he called "an un-American" provi sion that it would take 60 per cent of the voters of a district to stay out of an administrative district but only 51 per cent of the voters to put the district in the administrative district. Sen. Carl Francis, Dayton Republi can, expressed the same objection. The secret of vodka enjoyment is in Wolfschmidt's 45 Qt.
