Las Vegas Is Becoming Top Sports Center LAS VEGAS. Nev. (UP)—Sports figures are gamblers and gamblers love sports—and the result is that the city of Las Vegas fast is becoming one of the country’s top sports capitals. Headed by the natty Tournament of Champions golf event, which will be held in April for the sixty year in a row, the Las Vegas boom has extended from the craps and card tables to take in just about every line of sports 'in the country. Ust of Events Growing Look at this line of events, with the purses offered: —The $40,000 Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club (First prize, $lO,000). —The $25,000 National Gin Rummy Tournament (First prize $10,000). , —Three major trapshoots with prizes totaling in the nieghborhood of $25,000. —The Sahara Cup trophy race for speed boats at Lake Mead. —A big-time fishing derby, with boats and cash offered in prizes —A deer hunting derby with prizes for the buck with the most points, widest spread, longest horns. —And currently in the process of formation, a “Tournament of Champions” rodeo, to follow the Madison Square,Garden Rodeo, and to involve only champions. This one tentatively is set for Dec. 13-14. The Hand of the Gambler Os course, most of these vents are staged by the gambling casinos, with the admitted purpose of attracting both competitors and fans to the city of Las Vegas—and you know what. Still, there always is a chance for someone to strike it rich in Las Vegas, and sportsmen like the gamble. For instance, at a recent trapshoot there, a grandfather from Colorado and his grandson bought each other in what the trapshooters call the “optionals. The two went home with something like $3,000 in winnings. Seventh Grade Wins Over Adams Central The Decatur seventh grade team ’ defeated Adams Centra* 34-1& the Adams Central gym.

U.S. Aided Britain To Develop Rocket Held More Advanced Than U. S. Missile United States helped Britain develop a ballistic rocket the British call "more advanced'' than America’s own intermediate range ballistic missiles. A British government white paper released Thursday acknowledged that the United States had aided in the project resulting in-f new rocket which can be fired from underground launching sites. A Pentagon spokesman called the British missile "an example of the kind of mutual weapons development collaboration we think is so important." He said the British been given access to American development through a joint U.S.-United Kingdom scientific advisory group set up following talks here last year between then Defense Secretary Charts E Wilson and British Defense Minister Duncan Sandys. The British also said the two countries have concluded an agreement to station U.S. IRBMs —capable of spanning the 1,500 miles from London to Moscow—at four launching sites in Britain. It said details will. be announced next Wednesday. The Pentagon spokesman said the United States had given “certain information and instrumentation” to Britain and established “firm - to - firm” cooperation between U.S. and British companies working on missiles. Other defense developments: —Roy W. Johnson, the nation's first space director, said as he stepped into his new job he needed “at least 90 days” to decide "what we're going to do or how we’re going to do it." The General Electric vice president took office Thursday as head of the Defense Department’s new advanced research projcts agency. —ln St- Petersburg, Fla., Assistant Defense Secretary Murray Snyder said the Polaris 1,500-mile j ballistic missile will be launched ■ from land bases as well as from ships.

The German <»- bom chief of the guidance and control laboratory of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Huntsville, Ala., estimated that the nation’s first satellite, the Explorer, will remain in space for four years. Farm Population Is Matter Os Economy ' Report Is Issued By Ag Department WASHINGTON (UP) — The Agriculture Department said today the size of the future farm population is a matter of economics. "The farm population will continue as large as incomes from agriculture or a combination of agriculture and off - farm work will encourage," the department said in a fact-finding report. The department arrived at this conclusion after reviewing the farm population background, why there are fewer farmers, farm living conditions, and what the future holds for farmers. The farm population on April 1, 1957, was estimated at about 12 per cent of the total population of 170,510,000. A quarter of a century ago, the farm population was 32,393,000, or 25.8 per cent of the total population- The decrease in farm population during the last 25 years has been about 500,000 persons a year. One hundred years ago, farm people made up 65 per cent of the total population. Average productivity of U.S. farm workers since 1940 alone has increased more than in the previous 120 years. In 1820, each farm worker produced enough to feed and clothe 4.1 persons. By 1940 this figure had risen to 10.8. By 1956, a farm worker produced enough for the needs of 20.8 persons.
