Ex-kingpin Of Links

By the Associated Press

PEBBLE BEACH. Calf. Jan. 10
An old retired golf champion
hauled out his club today and
made 'em all sit up and take
notice. Byron Nelson, once the
kingpin of the links, fired a spec
tacular f1ve-under-par 81 to sweep
into the second round lead of the
54-hole $4,000 Bing Crosby tour
nament.
1t gave the former United States
and PGA champion a two-day
total Of 1873. He had a one-under-
round.
Nelson's feat was all the more
remarkable in view of the fact
he's been almost completely out
of action for a number Of years.
His Roanoke, CTex.) cattle ranch
keeps him occupied. Golf is only
incidental.
Nelson Has 7 BRIDES.
Crooner Crosby's famed tourna-
ment is one of the few that lures
Nelson from the ranch now. He
proved today he hasn't forgotten
the shots however. He was hitting
the ball with same assurance as
when he won the National Open
in 1899 and the PGA title In 1910
and 1945.
Nelson's performance was on
the Monterey Peninsula Country
Club course. Par is 35-37-72.
Lord Byron made it in 1894.
He started off with a one-over-
par five. Then he fired string
of three brides. On the back
nine he bagged four brides, one
from a 25-foot chip shot from
four feet off the green. He had
a ne-over-par hole on the in
coming stretch, too.

Hoods to Solve
Parking Dilemma
For Meter Men

Collectors here are going to get
q little help from hoods. But don't
pe alarmed - no new racket is
moving into the District.
The collectors are the men who
go around opening parking meters
and carting the nickels off to the
District Building. The hoods are
what are going to be placed over
selected parking meters in the
District Building area so the COL
lectorS can carry in their nickels
without fear of getting a traffic
ticket.
Decision to hood the meters
was made during a meeting of
the Commissioners, today with
George E. Keneipps director of
vehicles and traffic, and GUY
Pearson, collector of taxes.
The decision stems from an in
cident in which one collector got
ticket, and was fined So, when
ne parked near a meter beside the
District Building long enough to
cart his nickelS inside. Effect of
hooding the meters will be to re-
serve parking space for the COL
lectorS.
A request of Mr.. Pearson for
cancellation of the first SO fine is
pending before the Commissioners
Mr.. Pearson said that, if they re-
fuse to cancel the fine, he will
pay it himself. since the collector
was acting under administrative
orders"

One of g Remaining
 Whooping Cranes Dies Of Poisoning In Texas

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, (P) - Howard the whooping crane died Tuesday night from a form of food poisoning. His death made another gap in the vanishing flock of 32 whooping crane counted last year, the only known ones in the world.
 He succumbed to botulism at the San Antonio ZOO, where he was being treated for the deadly form of food poisoning. It was an undignified end for the rare bird, since thousands of ordinary ducks die of botulism every year, zoo director Fred Stark said.
 He also had been treated here for the broken leg caused by what appeared to be a gunshot wound.
 Howard came from the far north to spend the winter on a sun-bathed island in the Gulf of Mexico near Corpus Christi, Tex.
 Last year 30 of the long-stem- med winter tourists with a wing spread of some 715 feet, stayed at the Aranas refuge. Twenty-two have returned this year, and more are expected.

 He said the cynicism of the Am erican people is expressed in the public press, citing as an exam pie the tremendous publicity about the man who receives the bribe instead of the man who gives the bribe.
 "I am much more for the cor rupted man than for the cor rupter," he said.
