Balding Takes Over Lead In San Diego Open SAN DIEGO. Calif. (UP)— The best way to shoot a good round of golf these days it to (1) either get sick or injured; or (2> borrow a set of clubs. Al Balßing. the Canadian pro who isn't bald at all, but has a beautiful head of wavy hair, proved it again Thursday when he shaved eight strokes from par on a rain-soaked course to gain the hatf^ray*l4<a i d in the $20,000* San Diego Open. , -. . f Balding, one of Canada's top exports in the golfing world (now playing out of Miami Beach, Fla.) shot a 64 to go with, an opening round of 67 for a 131 total — 13 under par for 36 holes. ■ Gave Clubs Away “It was the best round I've ever played,” said Al after his game. “And it, is surprising. I played in those international matches in Tokyo last week and after we were finished, I gave all my irons away to U.S. servicemen there. "So I borrowed a set from a local club member and I never hit better iron shots in my life.” In second place, tied with 133 scores were Fred Hawkins, the pleasant gentleman from El Paso, Tex., and Arnold Palmer.

TV Fans May See Top Game Os Day Saturday By FRANK LITSKY United Press Sports Writer College football’s stay-at-home fans get a treat Saturday. They can sit by the television set and .watch what should be the best game in the country — at Michigan. This (NBC) nationally televised battle of strong defenses, rated * tossup by the oddsmakers, will affect the Big Ten race, the Rose Bowl and lowa morale. Since 1924, Michigan has 12 victories and one tie in 13 games with lowa, an especially bitter pill for lowa coach Forest Evanshevski who played for Michigan almost two decades ago. lowa and Ohio State are tied for the conference lead with 3-0 records. Michigan (2-1) must win to stay in the running for the Rose Bowl. lowa Has Top Defense The lowa defense, best in the nation against rushing, must stop Michigan halfback Jim Pace, leading scorer in the Big Ten. Keystone of the lowa attack is Randy Duncan, a polished quarterback who rates with the best in the nation. The United Press Board of Coaches ranks lowa third and Michigan 12th. In another meeting between high-ranked teams. Notre Dame is a five-point favorite over Navy. Notre Dame is ranked fifth and Navy is tied for 13th. Notre Dame, whose green sophomores of 1956 have matured into the surprise team of 1957, must stop the passing of Tom Forrestal and the running of Ned Oldham and Harry Hurst. The Navy game touches off a nightmarish month for the Irish who play Michigan State, Oklahoma and lowa on the following three Saturdays. Top-ranked Oklahoma, lowa and Notre Dame all are unbeaten and untied. Oklahoma, winner of 45 straight, hopes to present Bud Wilkinson with his 100th victory as Sooner coach by whipping Kansas State. Oklahoma is a 30-pojnt favorite. Perfect Records Safe Among other perfect-r eco r d teams, Texas A & M is favored by six points over Arkansas in the Southwest Conference, Auburn by eight over Florida in the South- ■ eastern Conference arid Dartmouth , ;by three over Yale in the Ivy i League. I President Eisenhower will watch; •he Atspy-Colgate game at Weeiy. Point but probably won't get the thrills those two teams provided last year when Army won, 55-46. Friday night favorites include Miami of Florida by 15 points over Vilianova and Boston University by six over George Washington. Holy Cross is the choice over the Quantico Marines in a Sunday game.

Estes Ksfauver (D-Tenn.), called upon the steel industry today to reduce prices "at least $3 a ton." Kefauver, chairman of the Sen-! ate Antitrust and Monopoly Sub-| committee now investigating steel' prices said neither U.S. Steel nor Bethlehem Steel had shown in appearances before the subcommittee that more-than $3 of last July’s $6 a ton price increase was due to higher wages. Even the wage increases of last summer, Kefauver said in a statement, were “offset in considerable part by the declining price bf scrap.*' Kefauver said the third quarter ’financial report of U.S. Steel showed a “substantial decline in production" but record earnings. "In view of the decline in production, it is unlikely that such an excellent profit showing could have been made unless the price increase of last July had been substantially in excess of the wage increase," he said. He also suggested a price cut would help the economy by allowing steel-using industries to lower prices, sell more goods and maintain purchasing power and em- , ployment. “Steel has long been regarded as the bellwether of the economy,” he said. “Now is the time for it to assume the responsibilities which go with its leadership.” Kefauver's subcommittee will resume its steel price hearings Monday, with testimony from former Secretary of Treasury Gebrge M. Huraphrdy, now board chairman of National Steel Co., Pittsburgh. Earlier this week, Milwaukee coSt analyst Fred V. Gardner testified that U.S. Steel’s "break, even" point it the lowest he has . ever seen, and the company ac-} tuallv could cut p-'fees .19•JKX.iiajUwithout jeopardizing its financial soundness.

Proposes Expulsion For NBA Violators MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UP)- An official of the National Boxing Assn., irked by a recent decision of the Massachusetts Boxing Commission, said Thursday he'll propose expulsion for association members who "flaunt” NBA regulations. Fred Saddy, executive secretary of the NBA, criticized the Massachusetts commission for its action in recognizing the recent Tony De-Marco-Virgil Akins bout as a welterweight title match. Akins, won the bout. and Saddy announced he had taken “boxer of the month honors as a result. But the NBA and 40 member states did not recognize the match in Boston as a title bout. Eight states approved of it. Saddy said the NBA at its September convention in Denver agreed to recognize as new welterweight champion the winner of an elimination tournament among the top four contenders. At that time DeMarco was the No. 1 contender and Akins was rated No. 5 and therefore ineligible for such a tournament, Saddy said. “The time has come,” said Saddy, “when the NBA no longer can permit states to flaunt regulations established by the NBA.” He said he'll proposeexpulsion of violators at the next meeting of the executive committee. Saddy said Akins Was boosted to the No. 3 spot among the top 10 contenders because of his ‘ sensational'' victory. He dropped DeMarco to fifth place by knocking him out in the 14th round. With his new rating, Akins becomes eligible with Isaac Logart, Gil Turner and Vince Martinez to compete in the welterweight elimination tournament, Saddy said.

Rumor Coty To Quit As French President Reported Disgusted At Lengthy Crisis PARIS (IP) — Reports circulated in Paris today that President Rene Coty was on the verge of resigning in disgust at the monthold government crisis. Felix Gaillard was trying to form a cabinet but has run into difficulties because of the fencesitting tactics of the powerful Socialist Party. He is the fifth man to attempt to end the worst political crisis since the end of the war. The rumors about Coty were so strong that the Paris leftwing “Express” said he already has drafted a message to the National Assembly deputies warning he will quit unless a government is formed soon. The "Express,” which backs radical ex-Premier Pierre Men-des-France, as the only publication to carry the report. But observers already have anticipated such a move by Coty as the political deadlock worsened. Gaillard has made it plain he would scrap his efforts to form a government unless the Socialists agreed to participate. But he has also asked for the participation of the Independents, the political arch-enemies of the Socialists. Trade in a good town — Decatur

Lew Burdette To Be Honored By Home Town NITRO, W. V». (UP)— A tired Lew Burdette who said that being feted around the country “gets to be work,” will be given a tribute here tonight' that promises to surpass anything seen in these parts since the end of World War 11. The entire town will join in a celebration to. its native son, who that time, the Milwaukee Brave hurler was en route to spring training and stopped to pick up his family. This little town, which got its name from explosives produced in World War I, is prepared to go all out for Burdette, who tamed the New York Yankees three times in the World Series. Burdette, a hero to millions, is still “our boy” to many residents here who remember his struggle up through the minor leagues. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Selva Lewis Burdette, still occupy the same house where Lew grew up. In addition to Gov. Cecil H. Underwood, who will give Burdette his personal congratulations, a senator and two congressmen will be in tonight's parade. Mayor W. W. Alexander has proclaimed “Lew Burdette Day” and for 24 hours, main street will be Lew Burdette Ave. The local weekly newspaper for the first time will have a special edition dedicated to an individual. The parade will start at the town limits and will pick up momentum as it winds through this city of 3,500. A new sign at the Nitro city limits proclaims this as the "hometown of Lew Burdette.” The youngster who designed the best welcome poster will receive an enviable reward. He will sit in the lead car with Burdette, who only a few years ago drove a cab here in the off season to make ends meet while playing in the minor leagues. In addition, about 200 Little League baseball players will have their gloves autographed by Burdette.

Freedom Os Press In Nation Endangered Denver Newspaper J Editors Cite Danger DENVER (IB—Two Denver newst paper editors have cited dangers of the federal government limit- • ing a free flow of news in the Unlt- ) ed States. They spoke Thursday I before a two-day regional meeting ' pf public administrators which ) ends today. Jack Foster Jr., editor of the • Rocky Mountain News, a Scripps- : Howard paper, warned that this country is in “danger of becoming the most highly censored nation I in the world." In a panel on “freedom of infor- ■ mation,” Foster said federal and I military officials are the most serious offenders against freedom of the press. Foster said censorship had with- ■ held information for hours on a murder at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver and on a major Denver plane crash. Lawrence Martin, associate edi- ; , tor of the Denver Post, traced attempts at censorship to Congress. He said it took the launching of the Russian earth satellite to disclose the lag in the American missile program. Trade in a good town — Decatug
