Reliever Don Ur quart, who replaced starter McElroy Faces More Questioning About Reorganization Washington (IP) Defense Secretary Neil H. McElroy was to face further ques tioning before the House Armed Services committee today in his efforts to con vince Congress it should ac cept President Eisenhower's defense reorganization plan. There were indications Mo Elroy would be quizzed about his "gag" policy on military discussion of the President's plan. Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D La.), a committee member, said McElroy failed to make a case Tuesday for proposed increases in powers of the de fense secretary. Under the President's proposal, the de fense secretary would have full power over troops put under unified air-ground-sea commands. McElroy assured the com mittee in its opening hearing military men would be free to give their views to con gressional committees on the controversial plan. He reiter ated his stand, however,, that they shouldn't make speeches opposing the plan. Denies Campaign" He added the Defense De partment was not trying to organize uniformed officers to wage a speech-making campaign for the plan but hinted that didn't apply to de partment civilians. The House today debates a bill which would continue fed eral aid for schools crowded by children of military and government workers. The threat of a fight over school segregatiton in connect ion with the measure was report ed. Rep.

A Roosevelt amendment to deny aid to school districts that have taken no steps to comply with the Supreme Court's 1954 school desegre gation edict, was rejected by the House Education commit tee when it approved the bill. Seeks Unemployment Bill GOP congressional leaders were trying to muster opposi tion to a Democratic jobless bill which is coming up for a House vote next week. Sen ate and House GOP leaders came away from a White House meeting Tuesday con vinced the President will veto the bill in its present form. Cost of the plan was esti ated at $1,575,000,000 com pared with $600 million for the administration's plan.

(International Soundphoto) SPORTS Upland Bird KHi Good During 1957 P o r 1 1 a n d Upland bird gunners had a good 1957 sea son despite what was consid ered one of the lowest bird populations in years, accord ing to the final kill figures compiled by the Oregon game commission. In addition, waterfowl hunters scored well on ducks and geese, bringing the kill close to the record years of 1951, 1952, and 1955. Pheasant hunters reported taking slightly more than 310,000 of the colorful ring- necks, an increase of more than 35,000 birds over the 1956 season. Some 88,600 nimrods were out after pheas ants at one time ' or another during the season. The quail kill, including valley, mountain, and bob- white, dropped . about 23,000 from the previous year, and the Hungarian kill fell off about 13,000. Slightly more than 124,400 quail and 11,600 Hungarians were reported taken. Chukar partridges proved quite an attraction for about 5,300 hunters during the first open season on these imports with a reported kill of 10,319 birds. As the population of chukars increases and the hunting methods become more well known, undoubted ly more hunters will take up the challenge of this raucous rim-rock dweller. About 18,00 grouse hunters took to the woods in 1957 and reported taking 38,916 birds, an increase of about 3,000 over the 1956 season. A grand total of 495,371 up land game birds was taken as compared to 483,492 the pre vious year. Waterfowl gunners took 871,591 ducks and geese com pared to a low of 754,006 in 1956. Of this number, 789,942 were ducks and 81,649 were geese. A total of 67,674 nim rods hunted waterfowl, an in crease of about 3,000 over the previous year.

GAME RESCHEDULED Pittsburgh HP) Monday night's rained-out game be tween the Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Braves had been rescheduled as a night game here Aug. 12, previously an open date. THE OLD SUNNY BROOK CO., LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRIBUTED BY NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS CO., KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY, 86 PROOf It Ken Venturi Favored in Champ Golf Las Vegas, Nev. (IP) Twenty-two titleholders, the finest shotmakers of the current era, took their final practice swings today in preparation for the opening round Thursday of competition in the $40,000 Tournament of Champions the most exclusive tourney in the world. Young Ken Venturi, who since this time last year has won championships at Milwau kee, St. Paul, Palm Springs, Phoenix and Baton Rouge, was installed as the 5-1 betting fa vorite in this gambling city despite the fact that Gene Littler, the three-time cham- rjion of this event, is here again. The odds against anyone winning this tournament twice in a row are high and winning it three times in succession are astronomical. But Littler turned the trick and so Tues day the odds went to 6-1 that he would do it four times in a row. Because of the high winds the greens are dryland will be as fast as a race 'track. That means it will take a man with a light touch on the putter. Which, in turn, brings Ven turi to the fore again along with Billy Casper, another Californian. The gamblers took note of this, too, by dropping the odds on Casper from 8-1 to 6-1. Another fine putter, Ro berto DeVincenzo of Mexico Citv. was cut in the wagering marts from 20- to 10-1. Prospect Nips Eagles Eagle Point Prospect High school scored three runs on hits hv Norm Jantzer and Dave Gardner, a walk and two errors in the extra eighth inning here yesterday to tip Eagle Point 16 to 13 in a non- league baseball ruckus. The Cougars took a 13 to 10 lead in the top of the seventh inning on three hits and four errors for five runs. However, Eagle Point tied it with three markers in the bot nf the frame. A single by Duane Anderson and a walk put men on base and Bill Turner doubled. Turner went to third base on a ground out and stole home to send the mix into the addition inning. Floyd Scaife hit two doubles for Prospect. For Eagle Point Anderson had three hits, Tom Perdue a double and single and Dusty Gerbing two for two.
