Michigan State Acts

BY the A.seeieied Pres,

EAST LANSING, Mich, Mar.
ia "thumbs-down" decision
was predicted today as Michigan
State College prepared to vote
on renewal of the Western Con-
ference-Pacific Coast Rose Bowl
football pact.
A high Michigan State ath-
letic official who asked that his
name not be used. said he
thought a faculty meeting would
vote against continuation of the
agreement.
"It's hard to tell, though, just
how the cat will jump" he said
in qualifying the prediction.
John A. Hannah, Michigan
State president, who made fly
ing trip back from his job as
Assistant Defense Secretary in
Washington, said the decision
would be made public after the
closed faculty meeting.
Minnesota and Wisconsin al
ready have announced votes
against the Rose Bowl renewal.
Northwestern is thought to be
anti-bowl and Purdue has voted
both ways in the past.
Michigan, Iowa. Ohio State,
Indiana and Illinois are expect
ed to favor continuation of the

About Braves Move

LOS ANGELES. Mar. TO-
Horace Stoneham, president of
the New York Giants, was un-
happy today as he ran into diff
f1cVlties trying to get plane
transportation to the National
League meeting at st. Peters,
burg, Fla, wednesday, when the
Boston Braves transfer to Mil
waukee will come up for a vote.
I'll probably be so mad by the
time I get to st. Pete that I'll
vote against the change" Stone
ham said half-seriously.
Stoneham thinks baseball has
got into jam with the last-min-
ute franchise shifts proposed by
the Braves and st. Louis Browns.
His chief worry is the proposed
3-5 East-West alignment in the
National League. He fears the
division may ruin the schedule.
AS for the Browns move to
Baltimore, he said:
II can't understand that one.
I have never considered Balti-

Harrison Ties Record
With Close Victory in
ST. Petersburg Open
BY the ASsoeioted Press

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, Mar.
l6.-Big Dutch Harrison hung a
record-matching 266 on the
scoreboard yesterday to win the
$4,000 st. Petersburg Open golf
tournament in drama-pac
finish.
The draWling Arkansas Trav-
eler" covered the last 18 holes
Tin 66, five under par for the
Pasadena municipal course, then
lounged in the locker room while
q pair of hot st. Petersburg
pros-Chick Harbert and Dick
Mayer-made a great but futile
effort to catch him.
Harbert, who shot his second
81 of the tournament, just one
stroke of the course record held
by Jim TurneSa, and Mayer
wound up in a second-place tie
at 267.
Harrison, playing out of Ard
more. Okla, was ID strokes under
par for the distance as he
equaled the record for the 49,
year-old tournament. Jack Burke,
jr., set the mark last year at the
nearby Lakewood course in the
process of winning his fourth
straight tournament of the 1852
winter tour.
Harrison's victory gave him a
$4,000 first prize and ran his
earnings this year to $4,735. It
was his first tournament triumph
since the Havana Open last
December. Harbert and Mayer
took $1,000 each.
When Harrison finished his
round, Harbert and Mayer were
three holes back and in a posi-
ton to beat him or force a play
off, so big Dutch did consider
able sweating before they called
him out to present him with
the cup.
Lew Worsham, formerly of
Washington, D. c., and now
from Oakmont, Pa. captured
the $500 fourth-prize money
with 27O.

Sour Fly May Aid
Spread Of Oak Wilt

Proof that the so-called "sour"
fly is responsible for spreading
oak wilt has been found in Bed
ford county, Pa. The finding is of
interest because oak wilt has also
been found in Garrett and Allie
gany counties.
DR.. Thomas L. Guyton, director
of the Bureau of Plant Industry
Of the Pennsylvania department of
agriculture, said the new evidence
is the first ever uncovered.
The "Sour" fly, scientifically
known as Diptera, is now added
to a type Of shiny black beetle
Nitidulids-as a carrier of oak wilt
which destroys huge hardwood
trees in a matter of weeks.
Its the same pesky fly that
creeps through window screening
and swarms over ripe or decaying
fruit in your home" said DR.. Guy
ton in describing the new find
DR.. Guyton, together with other
experts of the Pennsylvania agri-
culture and forests and water de-
partments headed task force
seeking to wipe out the oak wilt
disease. The 1858 legislature in that
state appropriated $125,00O for
such research.
The "sour" fly discovery was
made in tests on stands of within
fected oak trees near Manns
Choice. Some 200 healthy oak trees,
within 300 yards of one infected
with the fungus-caused oak wilt
disease-were bruised, usually by
drilling a hole through the bark.
This was done last September and
again this spring. Eight trees
showed oak wilt infection prior to
August /. From a timetable of
operations it was determined that
the disease spreads most rapidly
between April and June.
Some of the wounds in the eX-
posed healthy trees then were
closed off by cheesecloth wrap
pings. After a week or two the
wrappings were removed and in
sect larvae found in the wounds.
An examination showed that not
only the Nitidulids beetle previous
ly known as a carrier, was repre-
scented, but also the Diptera "sour"
fly.
The study confirmed findings in
West Virginia and Iowa as to
beetles carrying the disease, but
the "sour" fly discovery was the
first announced in this country. The
only known treatment for oak wilt
is complete eradication by cutting
down the tree and drying out the
lumber. In 1874 spots where oak
wilt was found in Pennsylvania
only six occurrences were found
because of this practice, Dr.. Guyton
said.
Oak wilt was first detected in
