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.

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 is a director and for-

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
