Arnold Palmer Is Winner Os Masters Title AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPD—King Arnold Palmer, back on his throne after six months in virtual exile, set his sights today on the U.S. Open — second stop en route to the grand slam of golf. Palmer, who became the first-ever four-time Masters champion when he beat defending champion Jack Nicklaus and Texan Dave Marr 'by six strokes, said he would sidestep the pro tour for the next two weeks and use some of that time to practice on the Congressional course in Washington where this year’s Open is to be held. He made it clear that he hopes this might be the year in which he can sweep the big four — the Masters, the U.S. Open, the PGA and the British Open. This is one of the few feats which has escaped him in a fabulous 10-year career that includes 41 tour victories and more than a half million dollars in prize money. “If I win the U.S. Open, then I definitely will go after the British title,” Palmer said. “I’m reasonably sure that I’ll be in the British Open under any circumstances and I’ll definitely play-ki the PGA.” Palmer wiped out any doubts about his status at the top of the golf hedpv Sunday when he posted a final round 70 for a 12-under-par 276 total to earn $20,000 and come within two strokes of the tournament record set by Ben Hogan back in 1953. “I was never sure in past Masters that I had really won it on my own,” Palmer said. ‘There was always the weather or some other factor. But, I really won this one.” He did, too, and called the winning score exactly. Although Marr, who was playing in the same twosome, pulled within three strokes of him eight holes from the end. Palmer reeled off three birdies over the last five holes to crush any and all late-blooming' contenders. Palmer was in a five-way tie after Thursday’s first round bu led by widening margins thereafter. Nicklaus, who won here last year with a 286 10 strokes higher than this year’s winning score — suffered the same jinx that, has plagued all defending Masters champions. He made a valiant try with an eagle and two birdies over one four-hole stretch but simply ran out of holes in his drive to become the first to ever put Masters victories back to back. Palmer, who won the Masters in 1958, 1960 and 1962, pulled away from his three-way tie with Sam Snead and Jimmy Demaret as three-time champions. Snead never even made the halway cut this year and Demaret finished a fat 17 strokes back at 293. Palmer’s winnings placed his earnings for the year at $33,488.75 and for his 10-year career at $506,496.84 — more than any other golfer has earned. Bruce Devlin, the journeyman plumber from Australia, got $6,100 for his fourth place finish at 284 and in a four-way tie at 286 for fifth, worth $3,700 each, were Gary Player, Billy Casper, Paul Harney and Jim Ferrier.

Two Games To Launch Major Leagues Today By JOE GERGEN UPI Sport. Writer The tall, Inposing figures of Lyndon Baines Johnson, a onetime first basemail, and Fred Hutchinson, a former pitcher, cast the dominating shadows today as the 1964 major league baseball season stirs to life with opening day games in Washington and Cincinnati. Mr. Johnson assumes the bonpr — as nine U.S. Presidents have done before him—-of tossing out the first ball in the nation’s Capitol to officially herald the start of a new season. For Hutchinson, manager of the Cincinnati Reds who as the oldest franchise in baseball have the traditional honor of opening the National League schedule at home, today is the first day of a long fight not just to bring the Reds home first as he did in 1961 but to overcome the cancer which was detected in his chest last winter. Senators Meet Angels Johnson, who revealed last week that he had played a pretty mean first base in the Texas sandlots, will make the first pitch before an expected crowd of 44,000 in D.C. Stadium, which then will sit back and watch the hometown Senators, the perennial tailenders of the American. League, tangle with the Los Angeles Angels, who finished ahead of only the Senators last year with a ninth place finish. The usual sellout crowd of 30,000 at Crosley Field will be treated to the annual festivities, which include a parade and the usual quota of speeches, followed by the game between the Reds — one of the National League’s top pennant contenders—and the ninth-place Houston Colts. All of the other 16 clubs open Tuesday with the American League running on a full daytime schedule and the National League splitting its four games between the day and night. Johnson, who at 6-foot-2 and 187 pounds is built in the mold of classic first basemen, will be continuing a tradition begun by William Howard Taft in 1910. After the ceremonies are concluded, Claude Osteen, a lefthander who established a 9-14 mark for Washington last year, will oppose the Angels’ Ken Mcßride, a righthander who finished 13-12 in 1963. Maloney To Start Hutchinson, a fiery competitor who is convinced he can lisk the cancer and that his team can win the pennant, will send Jim Maloney, the fireballing righthander who compiled a 23-7 mark last year — one of the tof> records in baseball against the Colts. “We can win it (the pennant). . .our attitude is good.” Hutch, who like Johnson stands 6-2, has frequently declared during spring training. And in the wide open National League race, no one can doubt the sincerity and truth of his statement. Ken Johnson (no relation), who was 11-17 l*st year, will be on the mound for the Colts, who boast one of the oldest infield and youngest outfields in baseball. Newly acquired Nellie Fox will start at second for Houston and team with veterans Pete Runnels, Eddie Kasko and Ken Aspromonte. The key for the Reds is the return to form of outfielder Frank Robinson and pitchers Joey Jay and Bob Purkey, all of whom experienced miserable seasons in 1963; Senior Citizens Camp Will Open Wednesday The third anual Hoosier senior citizens camp is scheduled to get underway Wednesday, at 10 a.m. and run through Thursday, until 2 p.m. at Turkey Run state park in Marshall. The camp invites all those who are interested in leadership and recreation programs for senior citizens and senior citizens clubs. This workshop is sponsored by the Indiana recreation council in co-operation with the Indiana state commission on aged and aging, the Indiana park and recreation association, the Indiana state board of health, and the recreation departments of Purdue and Indiana Universities.

LOUIS (UPD—The St. Louis Hawks and the San Francisco Warriors are deadlocked three games apiece today in the Western Division National Basketball Association playoffs following the Hawks 123-94 win Sunday night. The Hawks will meet the Warriors in the final game of the best-of-seven series Thursday night at San Francisco. Hawks Coach Harry Galltin expressed some optimism after the victory. "If we keep running and play tough defense like we did tonight we should go all the way,” he said. “Our over-all defensive job was the best it has been in the series and as a result they were forced to shoot from outside and the ball wasn’t falling in,” Gallatin said. “We have always known that we have to run to beat San Francisco and tonight we just outran them,” he added. San Francisco Coach Alex Hannum said he thought the Hawks “had a mental edge for this one because they had everything to gain and could afford to shoot the works. I blame myself for not getting our guys fired up. We just weren’t as keen as they were,” Hannum said. The Hawks zoomed ahead after a 2-2 tie and were never headed, moving to a 29-point lead in the third period. They had a 28-16 first period advantage and led at the half 59-33. Chamberlain, who was held to three field goals in the first half, started hitting the mark in the second half and finished with a total 34 points. Bob Pettit was high for the Hawks with 21 points and teammate Zelmo MASONIC / Regular Stated MEETING Tuesday, April 14 7:30 P. M. Niland Ochsenrider, W. M.

Wallace Plans Campaign For Indiana Votes INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) w- An advance agent for Alabama Gpv. George C. Wallace came ■ to Indiana today to make preparations for a two-week campaign for protest votes in the state’s May 5 Democratic presidential preference primary. Bill Jones, Wallace’s press secretary from Montgomery, Ala., arrived in the wee hours this morning. He said when Wallace arrives Wednesday for his first Indiana campaign visit, he will hold a news conference either before or after he goes to the Butler University campus for an appearance which students said will be picketed. Jones said Wallace plans to campaign for about two weeks and “will try to cover every areain the state,” spending much of his time explaining his interpretation and evaluation of the civil rights bill pending in Congress. Jones declined to make a prediction of the specific percentage of votes Wallace would get in Indiana, but he said the result in Wisconsin, where Wallace polled 35 per cent and got more than 260,000 ballots “was much better than we dared hope.” Wallace is certain to be greeted by demonstrating students, Negro groups and antiWallace Democrats. Some of the candidates for offices subject the primary and party conventions already have taken verbal pokes at their fellow Democrat. Rep. J. Edward Roush, DHuntington, speaking at Frankfort Saturday night in his campaign for renomination from the sth District, called Wallace “a carpetbagger” and “an intruder” who "espouses the cause of states’ rights to hide the fact he really is preaching a doctrine of prejudice.” "Regardless of what our views on civil rights might be we cannot, as responsible citizens, subscribe to the candidacy of a man whose conduct as a public official is not acceptable to the Hoosier sense of justice,” Roush said State Rep. Robert L. Rock of Anderson, campaigning at Waerloo for the Democratic gu:rnatorial nomination, Skid the entry of Wallace into Indiana politics “would be humorous if it were not so offensive to good Hoosier Democrats at the same time.” "Wallace will come spouting false issues, smokescreen tactics, and irrelevant preachment,” Rock said. “But the simple issue is whether Demo- ’ crats want to send their delegates to the national convention pledged to support Wallace for president. This is absurd. We do not need a demagogue with a police-dog philosophy in Indiana.” Negro groups in Indianapolis have stayed relatively silent about the impending visit by Wallace, who they consider an enemy to their fight for equal rights. Peaceful protest by minority groups has followed Wallace during the Wisconsin campaign and will probably be with him in Indiana when he arrives at Indianapolis Wednesday to tape an interview with the Butler University debate team. The students have asked for and obtained permission from their governing council to picket Wallace and his views, peacefully. The Democratic party leaders in Indiana have not released their well-laid plans in regard to the governor. But they will

Greek Cypriots issued an ultimatum they would launch an all-out attack if Turkish Cypriots did not withdraw. During the night Turkish Cypriots at this pass in the northeast. advanced across the Nicosia - Kyrenia road.

Field Near Decatur Is Burned Saturday A large portion of thd field located on the south side of Monroe street extended and to the rear of the east edge of the Stratton Place addition was burned in a Saturday afternoon fire. Fast work by local firemen kept the blaze from wreaking havoc with the home located on the north side of Monore extended. as a gusting wind whipped the fire to the edge of the road on the south side. Firemen received the call at 1:12 p.m., and two trucks, one of which was the water truck, wtre dispatched to the Stratton addition. Some residents of the west edge were burning trash near the lake area, and firemen first went there. Wrong Blase It was soon learned, however, that this fire was under control by the people burning the trash, and that the actual fire*was on the other side of the Stratton area. The very dry field apparently caught fire from a burning pile of trash, and the wind quickly whipped the blaze about 50 yards to the north and to the edge of the road. Water and brooms were used to put the fire out in a few minutes and thus kept the blaze from leaping across the road and to the homes located on that side of the road. Two Youths Enter Not Guilty Pleas Two local youth entered pleas of not guilty to three charges against each of them in the Adams circuit court this morning. Herman Lynn Dellinger, 20, of 1209 Master Drive, and Marvin D.
