Mr.. Reuther said time was

thought II was on their side.
Lower Demands Likely
Back OF their unconcern
there may be a feeling on their
part that Mr.. Reuther will
scale down his demands sharply
before calling on a strike.
Many auto workers either
have been laid of or have been
working considerably less than
40 hours a week. They are
financially hard up. They might
vote 98 per cent in favor Of
authorizing a strike but at the
same time quietly tell union
leaders to go easy on strike
action.

Seconds after dropping that
putt worth $4,000 in first
money. he sailed his white cap
into the screaming gallery of
1000 - the largest in the
history of the Phoenix tour
nament.
Ventura won this 72-hole
tournament the hard way. He
started the final round yester-
day with a 1-stroke lead over
Jay Hebert, the Louisianan
now registered out of San
ford. Fla.
Ken saw that lead melt after
the first nine holes under the
heat of a sub-par round by
Walter Burkemo of Franklin
Hills. Mich, and the pressure
of Hebert.
Burkemo climaxed the finest
round of the tournament by
dropping birdie putt on No.
10 for a days total of 65-
six under par for the 6,585-yard
Phoenix Country Club course.
That gave him a total of
275-nine under par. He started
the round six strokes behind
the leading Ventura, but con-
tinued to whittle that margin
by sinking numerous birdie
puts. But the one that even
tually broke his back was the
par-four 18th, where he missed
a small one to go one over on
that hole.
Hebert finished one under par
for the 1886 layout through
the 18th hole. He needed a
birdie on the final hole to go
ahead, but missed a 7-footer
and finished in a tie with
Burkemo for second place.
Hebert started the final
round one stroke back after
leading at the end of So holes.
