Injured Hiker Ffown From Kings Canyon Park by Helicopter Sequoia, Kings Canyon Na tional Parka, Calif. V An in jured hiker was evecuated from rugged terrain of Kings Canyon National Park today in a high al titude flight by an Air Force helicopter. John F. Scott, 23, a University of California graduate student from Stockton, Calif., was load ed onto the craft in less than four minutes at the south end of Palisades lake. The H21 heli copter soared into the air at 7:52 a.m. (p.s.t.) for the 30 mile return flight to Bishop on the eastern slope of the Sierra Ne vada. Instructions Radioed A rescue party with Scott spotted the helicopter 10 min utes earlier. The craft landed while a light plane circled slow- Billy Graham To Speak in New York Financial District New York IP) Evangel 1st Billy Graham tackles "big money" today, precisely where he he pes his words will have their most pointed effect in the heart of the Wall st. finan cial district. The Nortn Carolina Baptist minister holts an outdoor rally at Nassau and Wall sts., on the steps of the U. S. Subtreasury building where George Washing ton delivered his historic first inaugural address. On of Graat Failings Graham's 25-minute talk to the :en of high finance was not to be bis first on bow "money corrupts," as he puts it. He has said repeatedly in his Madison Square Garden sermons that ma terialism, "the greed for and love of money" is one of Ameri ca's great failings. He has also said that "the ac cepted rule in business today is lying and cheating stabbing competitors in the back, all for the sake of making more money." Graham announced Tuesday night before his Garden sermon that "there's a good possibility" he will conduct a short crusade in Buffalo, N.Y., this fall, as a "logical follow-up" to his New York crusade. H announced also that he wilfe conduct a crusade in Char lotte, N.C., in the fall of 1958. Graham has lived in' Charlotte, and maintains his home in Mon treal, N.C. K 1 triple. .

Bee Population Causes Concern St. 'Louis W The city is buzzin, cousin. The bees are the most this year. The bee population here has increased to the point where all available hives have been taken, and tl'ie honey manufacturers are swarrning all over the place, on telephone poles, trees and shrub bery and a few back porches. The Humane Society, a famil iar refuge for citizens troubled with animal or insect problems, was all out of answers for the protflem that has kept its tele phone line humming. Fiutz K. Grolock, manager of the society, blamed the weather for the homeless bees. 'We've had a lot more rain thaio usual," he said, "and bee experts tell me the population increases rapidly during such a period." Orolock said the society nor mally would call on beekeepers who register with the organiz ation, but they are all overload ed. An emergency plea for bee keepers brought little result. ''Three people have called in. Gi.'olock said, "but they weren't much help. One man said he d take one swarm, but that would be? like trying to empty a barrel with an eye-dropper. The other tvro wanted to be paid for dis posing of the bees, and we just can't do that." Brolock said much of the ap prehension the average person feels about the bees is unjusti fied, "I understand," he said, "that tfiere is not as much hazard in volved as people believe. Swarm ing bees are just not in a stinging wood." Asked if this conclusion was the result of personal experi ence, Grolock shook his head em phatically. "No," he said, "not at all. I'm satisfied to accept what I read about bees.' Sport Parade iy OSCAR FRALEY Sparts Writer United Prtit Wednesday. July 10, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN New York 'V A piece of Wimbledon silverware parlayed with the Yankee dollar finally paid off today with the revela tion that Aussie tennis star Lew Hoad turned professional three months ago. The time in between has been consumed by what promoter Jack Kramer calls a "secretive game of cops and rooDers. I Actually it was a cloak and dag ! ger opus which was more of a ; who-cares than a whodunit. I Technically Hoad has been a pro since April 17 and his sole , aim since that time was to win at Wimbledon lor an extra $25,000. Hoad stopped to see Kramer en route to Europe and at that time they put the deal on paper and shipped it to Hoad's attor ney in Australia. Kramer offered him $125,000 over a two-year span if he won at Wimbledon; and only $100,000 if he lost the big one in Britain. Examined by Doctor Hoad was examined by Kra mer's doctors to see whether the blond bomber was pulling a fast one because of an arthritic con dition and pronounced a good gamble. Hoad went to Europe, worked out the kinks in his sore back and arm, breezed at Wim bledon and came back to pick up the marbles. All of which means that, bar ring an actual signature, the agreement was in the bag that the amateur fathers were hold ing. Hoad takes a very matter of fact view of the whole bit. "I have to get mine while I can," he admitted, looking very little the polished pro in his tie less shirt and brown suede shoes and socks. "I never know what this back of mine will do." Kramer is, of course, too smart to be caught off base. He has an escape clause permitting cancellation of the contract if Hoad comes up lame and halt for a period of four weeks. Pancho's Dim View Big Jake's oyster isn't filled with pearls, however. Pancho Gonzales, the world professional champion, takes a dim view of Hoad turning pro at this point. His fear is that Hoad will take a cuffing in two tournaments as well as in a European tour with Ken Rosewall, Frank Sedg man and Pancho Segura. Thus the shine would be off the apple when Gonzales opens a 100 match tour against Hoad in Aus tralia come January. There has been much talk be tween Kramer and Gonzales dealing with possible contractual lawsuits and appearances before "the man in the robe." All prob ably will be straightened out in good time. Meanwhile, with Hoad notori ous for playing careless tennis when he isn't in the mood, Kramer has set up a bonus sys tem to keep him on his toes. Now Larrupin Lew is ready to take spring training in August, pro style, and Kramer's thr'ee month plan has really put the pros in business. lHO TRAINS if Merrill, Wis.

SPORTS Chief String Snapped by Bronc Nine By UNITED PRESS Lewiston's Thornton Kipper tossed a 6-0 shutout at Wen atchee Tuesday to snap the Chiefs' winning skein at eight straight. Eugene's Emeralds meanwhile marked their fourth straight in a 3-1 victory over Yakima, while Salem coasted by Tri-City, 7-3. Kipper's two-hit effort dealt Wenatchee its first defeat since second half play began more than a week ago. He struck out seven and didn't walk a man in recording his eighth victory against four defeats. Doug Kassay was the only Chief to hit the Bronc right hander, singling in the first and doubling in the seventh. Eugene's Zeke King scored one run and batted in another against Yakima to move the Emeralds within one game of the pace. Yakima's single score came in the third on a walk, an error, Oregonian Sees New Guinea as Lumber Factor Manokwari TPl An Oregon trained lumberman predicts that the forests of New Guinea will soon be a world factor in both the hard and soft wood markets. G. J. Borgmart, a Hollander who learned much of his lumber ing at Coos Bay, Ore., has just built Netherlands New Guinea's largest sawmill, using Scottish and Swedish equipment, Papuan labor and American techniques. "We have unlimited timber reserves all over New Guinea," Borgmart said, "and a large part of it is economically accessible." The Dutch already have de veloped an overseas market for their giant peeler logs which are being shipped to European and Australian plywood mills. Long range plans call for construction of plywood mills in Dutch New Guinea where cheaper produc tion costs are an important fac tor. "The country here is similar to the Pacific Northwest in ter rain," Borgmart explained, "and we are able to float the soft woods to the mill in rafts along the coast. The hardwoods, how ever, must be trucked to the mills." Labor Problem The new mill just completed by the Dutch government is lo cated at the new capital of the Western District of N.N.G., Man okwari, and adjoins a new two-million-dollar shipyard which the government just opened. Borgmart said the biggest problem at his twin-band-saw mill was labor. Eighty per cent of his staff, including his saw yers, are Papuan natives whose grandfathers were head-hunting cannibals. "We have nearly a hundred Papuans at work," the technical director said, "and we have found them unusually adept at mechnics. They are all working under Dutch leadermen, and it takes a bit of time to train them, but their retentive powers are good." All production of tha new Ma nokwari mill is being used in Dutch New Guinea at present, but when the mill reaches its maximum output. Borgmart hopes to quadruple the produc tion. "The woods of New Guinea," he claimed, "are amongst the finest in the world, and, with modern milling methods, we hope to make the lumbering in dustry one of the most important in Netherlands New Guinea, and one capable of supplying the huge Southeast Asia and Aus tralian markets." SMART CAT . Lewisburg, Tenn. OP T. C. Holly figures he has a pretty smart cat. He accidentally- lock ed the feline in the pumphouse on the farm. Two days later the cat pulled the switch and cut off the water supply to the house. Holly figures that was the cat's way of letting him know it was locked in. Don't Say "Hello" Say "FILTER-FLO" Frick, Minor Loop Heads Lay Groundwork for Future By LEO H. PEDERSEN United Press Sports Editor St. Louis tfl The minor leagues, faced with a wholesale series of franchise shifts if the Giants decide Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants decide to go to California, met with Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick today to lay the groundwork for their future operations. The presidents of the top seven minor leagues in the na tion were summoned by Frick to the conference. "Actually,,it is an exploratory meeting and we'll just play it by ear," Fricks aid. "But the minors have to be prepared for possible changes." Those changes could be the and a single by Herb Anderson. Salem jumped to a five-run lead in the first five innings against Tri-City to coast in on Vern Kindsfather's five-hitter. It was Kindfather's 12lh win of the season against six losses. Gene Tanselli picked up his first homer of the year with none on in the third. most drastic in baseball history should the Dodgers decide to go to Los Angeles and the Giants to San Francisco. That would not only take two of the best clubs out of the Pacific Coast league, but would jeopar dize three others San Diego, Hollywood and Sacramento. New Draft Proposal To survive, the Pacific Coast league might have to draft as many as five clubs from other minor leagues to stay in busin ess. It also was expected th?t Frick would try to sell the mi nor league chieftains on his new draft proposal, which the com missioner deems necessary if baseball is to circumvent any anti-trust legislation. Under the Frick proposal, a minor league player would be subject to unrestricted major league draft after four years. Under the present regulations, only one player from each mi nor league club may be drafted thus permitting the major league clubs with talent-rich farm clubs to keep their promising young sters in the minors as long as they wished.
