Ford Rated Top Bet In PGA Tournament By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Dayton, Ohio IW The nation's top professional golfers teed off in the first round of match play in the PGA golf chimpionship today, and the best bet in the field was that a new champion would be crown ed around sundown Sunday. Defending titleholder Jackie Burke, suffering from a right wrist injury which forced him to withdraw after two rounds in the National Open at Toledo last month, appeared to have little chance of winning it again. "I just can't hit the ball,'' Burke explained. "But I'm going to give it a try." His fellow pros who know him best said that Burke was playing only because he thought it was the thing for a defending champion to do. Ford Rated Farorite However, even if he was at the top of his game. Burke would only be rated second to rugged Doug Ford, who won the title in 1955 and who is the leading money winner on the 1957 tournament trail with earnings of S37.946. Ford, noted as a match play er, was a 5-1 choice in the field of 123 teeing off for the first round play. There will be two 13-hole sudden death matches on Thursday and Friday, cutting down the field to four for the 33-hoIe semi-finals on Saturday. Those winners will meet in the 36-hole title round on Sunday. The hilly, 6.773-yard Miami Valley Golf club, with a par of 36-35, should be just what the golling doctors would order for Ford. For it requires a long, ac curate driver with a good put ting touch, and Ford ranks on top in both of those categories. Eut he is facing tough compe tition in such stars as Walter Eurkemo, who many golfers rate as the best match player of them all, and long-hitting Mike Sou chtk, who won the PGA driv ing championship Tuesday with a three-ball average of 243 yards. SPORTS Klamath Kuhs Encounter Camp White This Evening Camp White Camp White's semi-pro baseball club will be host this evening to the Klam ath Kubs in non-loop contention. The game on Memorial field, formerly known as Ricker field, at the Veterans Administration domiciliary, will be at 8 p.m. Ned Landers is expected to Olson-McMurtry Tickets on Sale Portland Tickets for the Bobo Olson-Pat McMurtry 10- round fight at Portland Mea dows. Aug. 10, went on sale to day at the office of the Portland Boxing club, 925 N.W. 19th Ave nue, Portland, Oregon. Not since the days of Harry Mathews have fight fans of the Northwest shown such keen in terest in a boxing contest. The McMurtry followers are predicting a KO win, pointing to Pat's record of 20 knockouts In 26 fights. Pat's ony defeat to date has been a loss to Willie Pastrano, who is ranked number 4 in the heavyweight division. Olson, former middleweight king, has a big following in the Portland-Vancouver area who think he is a better fighter as a light heavyweight (than he was as a middleweight and feel Mc Murtry does not have the experi ence to beat the former world's champ. d- the twirling for the VAD ag gregation. The Kubs are expect ed to name their hurler from among Dave D'Olivo, Rod Mac Phail, Mike Runge, Jack Henkle and Fran Miller. The Kubs, of the Northern California league, have tripped Ashland-Talent 11 to 9 and lost d to 7 to the Medford Studs in non-league games with Rogue Valley league teams. Camp White of the RVL has split its scuffles this season with the Studs and Talent. Klamath is expected to field about the same line-up as that which the Studs met in Med ford a week ago. Legion Gang, Eugene Vie American Legion junior base ball is scheduled for Medford on Saturday evening. The Medford nine will be host to Eugene. Two games will be played with te first at 6:30 p.m Eugene will go on to Klamath Falls for Sunday action. Medford Coach John Kovenz reported that Lakeview has con ceded its two sub-district engage ments with the local club. How ever, the Lake county crew would like to play non-counting tussles in August. Medford already had clinched the sub-district toga. The forfei tures give the club here an 8-0 record in league play. Lakeview fell twice to Medford at the start of the season.

Actor's Son Free From Jail Term Hollywood Wl Edward Rob inson Jr., 24, was a free man again today following his release from county jail where he was sentenced to a 60-day term on a misdemeanor drunk driving charge. The actor, son of the stage and screen star. Tuesday changed a jail uniform for civilian clothes. (JJe was released three weeks early for good behavior. Robinson must abstain from liquor during three years' pro bation under the terms of his sentence. The probation depart ment also ordered him to take psychiatric treatments. He was arrested June 21, 1956, after his sports car struck four parked cars. His passenger, Martin Barth, 37. lost the sight of his right eye in the accident. Robinson was uninjured. Gary W. I have a transat lantic battle with my in-laws. Cynthia W. He wants to back out of his agreement. Gary W. When I married a European girl, a lot of fellows said they envied me because I would never have to worry about in-laws. Well, I've had a lot more in-law trouble than guys who have their in-laws liv ing in the same house. For the past six years I've been having a transatlantic bat tle with my in-laws. They want to see my wife and the kids once a year. They've got it fig ured out that they pay for the passages one year and I pay the r.ext. They consider this very "fair." Well, it may be fair, but it's still an awfully big expense. Not only that, but they expect my wife to spend two months with them. Now two months is an awfully long time to be alone and not see your own kids. I'm fed up. Cynthia W. I don't blame Gary for feeling as he does, but it just can't be helped. The trips are a big drain on our budget, but they are worthwhile if my parents are kept happy. We would like them to visit us, but they can't because they have younger children they don't like to leave behind. Two months is a long time for us to be separated, but it really doesn't pay to take that long trip for only a few weeks. Be sides, my parents -plan such a big program of visiting and en tertaining friends and relatives, it takes at least that long to get through the list. I am very much annoyed to see that Gary wants to go back on the agreement with my par ents about these visits before we were married. The Council: Gary should never have entered a definite agreement with his in-laws on the number and duration of vis its home he would permit his wife. Nevertheless, it doesn't seem right that he and his wife should have to suffer Indefinite ly for a rather unfair promise extracted when he was young, rash and eager to get married. Gary should recognize that his problem is not really with his in-laws, but with his wife. It is she who appears to be rigid on the terms of the agreement that Gary made. It is very doubtful that Cyn thia's parents really require such a big sacrifice to be "kept hap py." It is much more likely that, in their understandable desire to see their daughter and grand children, they underestimate the size of the sacrifice that is being made for them. It is up to Cynthia to set her parents straight on this matter. She should let them know that the frequent trips represent an Bogota (W American oil in terests, already involved with substantial capital investments in oil development in Colombia, soon may turn their sights to ward an area hitherto untapped in this country. That area is the vast "llanos" 250,000 square miles of it, vir tually uninhabited except for a few ranchers. Nearly as big as all of Texas, and larger than the combined area of Arizona and New Mexico, these Colombian plains are the least explored so far as petroleum is concerned. But Colombia's Ministry of Mines and Petroleum reports that a number of oil companies already have presented proposals for oil exploration in the "llanos" although no actual work has been started. All that's need ed is for agreements to be drawn and signed. That the interest in this mys terious area of Colombia is keen is contained in the fact that plans already have been dis cussed for building a pipeline that would be needed if oil in large quantities should be found. It has been estimated that the pipeline project of itself would require capital investment of 5100,000,000. Production Boost Seen Commercial production of pe troleum is virtually a new ven ture here, having been started little more than 30 years ago. Now the country is the fifth ranking petroleum nation in the western hemisphere and has known oil reserves in excess of 500,000,000 barrels. A ministry spokesman has indicated lhat production will be boosted 100 per cent within the next 10 years as new fields are opened to ex ploration and concessions are granted. Nine other geographic areas are now being explored to de termine the immediate possibil ities of oil production. Seventeen fields are already producing and seven of these are now under de velopment. Last year alone (1956) Colom bia granted 58 concessions, and American interests were largely represented. The most active oil produc tion center now is the Magdalena river port of Barrancabermeja where the semi-official controlled Empressa Colombiana de Pet roleo brings in around 31.000 barrels daily. This operation originally was exploited by In ternational Petroleum (Intercol) of Colombia, a subsidiary of Standard Oil which now owns and profitably operates a pipe line from the port to the Carib bean coast. Tankers transport pe troleum from there through the Panama Canal to western Co lombian centers. The pipeline has been carry ing most of Colombia's crude oil for export, too; around 30,000, 000 barrels in 1956. Texas Petroleum, another U. S. enterprise, produces around 28,000 barrels daily, while Shell Colombia has been running at a rate of 34,000 barrels. Colombia Petroleum is another major pro ducer, turning out some 27,000 barrels a day. These companies are also active in new explora tions under the Government's program of expanding conces sions. Cities Service of Colombia, Richmond Petroleum, a subsid iary of Standard of California, and the independent John W. Mecom of Texas are involved in current concessions. Most recent is the agreement reached by Colombian Sun Oil for a half interest in concessions covering an area of 750,000 acres. Sun Oil will drill at least two exploratory wells to 9,000 feet, for its interest being shared under a special contract with Mobil Oil de Colombia and the local Intercol petroleum interests.

Randall to suc c e e d Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson. The report from informed sources followed widespread speculation that Wilson will re tire some time this year pos sibly after his defense budget clears Congess. Randall is a director and for- ber chairman of Inland Steel Co. He is chairman of the president's council on foreign economic policy. Wilson, talking to reporters Tuesday night at the Pentagon before a dinner with Eisenhower and several other cabinet' mem bers as guests, brushed aside as old stuff reports that he will re tire soon. He also laughed off re ports that he will stay through the year.

The office of Sen. Richard L. Neuberger said Mrs. Feodorov is scheduled to arrive in New Jersey on July 22. Her husband came to Portland last year with other refugees. Mrs. Feodorov fled to France, where she was evicted from a French refugee camp. She has been living in a hotel in Paris and her husband had been send ing her money.
