Nickbus picked as 114 favorite for British Open

HOYLAKE, England UPI— Jack Nicklaus doesn’t agree with the oddsmakers who are betting he’ll retain his title in the British Open golf championship, which starts Wednesday. Nicklaus can find a lot of reasons why he should not have been installed a heavy 11-4 favorite and most of them add up to tradition and the windswept 6,995-yard par 36-36-72 Royal Liverpool course. British Open history bears out Nicklaus on the jinx attached with winning successive tournaments. Arnold Palmer, who is absent from this year’s open, won in 1961 and again in 1962. But before that the list of non-repeaters is long. The bookmakers who made Nicklaus favorite, back up their reasoning in that the Royal Liverpool course has been changed and lengthened just enough to favor the long-driv-ing Nicklaus. The blond blaster from Columbus, Ohio, played the windswept course Saturday and failed to agree he could easily add the British Open to his 1967 U.S. Open crown. "It’s a real tough course,” said Nicklaus Sunday. "Defin-

Westmoreland, LBJ to confer WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson expects to meet with Gen. William C. Westmoreland after the U.S. commander in Vietnam attends the funeral of his mother this week in Columbia, S.C. The White House reported this today as Johnson, back from a 10-day rest at his Texas ranch, returned to his desk to grapple with such weighty problems as Vietnam strategy and taxes. Apart from announcing a 5:30 p.m. EDT meeting with AFL-CIO President George Meany, the White House gave no details of the President’s day except to say that he was “working mainly with staff members on action items.” Before making decisions on a troop increase or other new courses of action in Vietnam, Johnson is awaiting the return of Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara this week from an on-the-scene survey in the battle area. Press Secretary George Christian emphasized that McNamara’s trip “involves a great deal more” than the question of an increase in U.S. manpower. Noting that McNamara was accompanied by Gen. Earle G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Undersecretary of State Nicholas Katzenbach, Christian told reporters: “I’m sure they’re going into all facets of the present situation—the increased military activity, pacification, the coming election, how we are spending our dollars—just about the whole gamut of American activities there, in conjunction with South Vietnam and our allies. I’m sure that any reports . . . will cover a great many things affecting the overall situation in Vietnam.” Westmoreland, according to reports, has asked for more troops. But Walt W. Restow, Johnson’s adviser on national security affairs, says the President has not yet made a decision on whether to boost the forces.

Awaiting word of lost' coffin NEEDHAM, Mass. UPI—The family of Marine Lt Michael Downey, killed by a Viet Cong land mine in Vietnam 10 days ago, waited today for word on his “lost” coffin. “We just don’t know where Mike is,” Mrs. PhiUp H. Tyler of Heendah, the dead Marine’s mother, said Sunday night “TTiis has been a double tragedy for us.” Mike’s brother, Capt Paul G. Downey, was given “compassionate leave” to accompany the body home but when he arrived in San Francisco Sunday he discovered the coffin had been “lost” en route from Vietnam. The family said Paul was “walking up and down the rows of caskets” at the Treasure Island Navy Base, searching for his brother’s coffin. Mrs. Tyler was not bitter about the mixup, however. “Everyone has tried to be helpful,” she said.

NO LETUP WASHINGTON UPI — The commandant of the U. S. Coast Guard reports that almost as many people are fleeing Cuba today as did during the height of the Castro revolution. A dm. W. J. Smith told a House appropriations subcommittee in testimony made public Sunday that “although much of the public interest in the original exodus from Cuba has died away in the past year, there are almost as many people leaving the country now by various ... means of transportation.”
