It is customary for the
United States Golf Association
to tougher a course for q
national championship. but Joe
Dey took q two-day look at
Congressional over the week
end and suggested a softening
for the Women's Amateur to
be held here August 24-29.
Dey is the executive director
Of the USGA. He walked the
front nine and the new nine
with Jocko Miller Of the pro
staff, Andy Devlin and Vernon
Briggs of the green's commit
tee. Nina CHAMPION and Mrs.
Carl Matthews Of the women's
committee, and A. E. Martin,
the club manager.
2 Dey requested new tees be
constructed on the 18th and
18th holes. reducing the yard
age on the former by 30 yards
and on the 10th by so yards.
This way those two holes
will be challenging par fours
instead of rather easy par fives
for the girls" Dey said. I'VE
don't want them playing too
many short approach shots
for their pars."
The course will have q wom-
ems par Of IA for the cham
pionship. Dey appeared ex-
tremely impressed with the
physical layout. There are a
couple Of minor drainage prob
lens, but the USGA official said
he was satisfied with the con-
dition and did not think any
further visits would be
necessary.

MIL P|ayoffs
Likely 10 Go
Down 10 Wire
ny the Associated Press

One week remains in the reg.
ular National Hockey League
schedule today, and the only
thing certain about the Stanley
Cup playoffs is that the Mont.
real Canadiens are the No.
team.
Whether they'll be No. / al
the conclusion Of the playoffs
is another matter. but right now
four Of the other five teams irI
the league are having a merry
scramble.
Each MIL team has three
games remaining on the sched-
ule that winds up next Sunday
and the jostling may 60 right
down to the wire.
The Boston Bruins defeated
the Canadiens last night, SIS,
to take over second place by
two points from the Chicago
Black Hawks. The Detroit Red
Wings. in last place, beat the
Hawks, Al, to keep alive their
slim playoh hopes.
Meanwhile. the Toronto Ma
pie Leafs hung right in. whip
ping the New York Rangers,
6-5, for the second straight
night. On Saturday. the Leafs
beat the Rangers. SO. Mont
real had beaten Chicago Satur-
day. ga. while Boston defeated
Detroit. Az.
Detroit, with Sc points. would
have to win its three remaining
games with Chicago, New York
and Toronto and New York
would have to lose three to give
the Wings hope. They would
then only be tied with the
Rangers, who have 81 points
New York also meets Boston
and Montreal. Toronto also
would have to drop three tc
help Detroit gain the playoffs.
A victory in either Of the
games with Toronto over the
week end would have clinchec
a playoff spot for New York
and eliminated Toronto and
Detroit. Toronto has SO points
and one defeat plus a Ranger
victory would clinch 1t for New
York. Toronto meets Mont
real, Chicago and Detroit.
Bob Pulford's 50-foot goal
with two minutes remaining
broke a SIS tie and gave Toronto
its victory last night in New
York.

vehicles passing over the bridge and helped compute what each owed
 : Moran said the treadle would be turned off at certain periods, and collectors would pocket the coins taken in during those times.
 Two other methods of theft were used, he said. Many bridge crossings for which auto tolls were collected were entered as free passage by police and other pub lie officials for which 50 passes were outstanding.
 The third gimmick was record ing passenger car-and-trailer toll after collecting the higher three-axle rate fixed for com mercial truck-trailer rigs.
 Tolls on the bridge are 10 cents for an auto; 15 cents for car pulling a one-axle trailer; 35 cents for a commercial and semi trail CT; 25 cents for two-axle trucks, and up to 60 cents for four and five-axle truck-trailer combina- tions.
 Thus trucks counted as passen- ger cars netted IS cents for the dishonest collector; five-axle truck rigs counted as two cars and one trailer netted 35 cents.

Nixon Says The
 Alternative to Talk Can Only be War
By JOE F. KANE

WASHINGTON, R-You either talk to the Russians or eventually you are going to fight them, Vice President Rihard Nixon has told Amerian television audienes.
 "The alternative, to me, is un- acceptable, not only for us, but to them, and for the world gen. erally," Nixon said.
 Nixon expressed his views Sun day on the exchange of visits by top U. s. and Soviet officials while narrating CBS and NBS telecasts of films made during his recent visit to the Soviet Union.
 His opinions were in reply to the criticism that his trip and the scheduled exchange of visits by Soviet Premier Khrushchev and President Eisenhower are hy- pocritical and immoral.
 Nixon said he considered it es sential, in recognizing the differ ences between the United States and the U.S.SR. that they not be discussed by trading insults 5000 miles apart.
 "What we should do," Nixon said, lis to sit down around the conference table, so that there will be no miscalculation on the part of either side as to the strength or the will that either side possesses"
 Nixon gave these impressions of Khrushchev: He can do pretty much a he wants; he is sensitive about public opinion outside the Soviet Union; he likes to do the unexpected; he is an articulate defender of his point of view; he knows how to grab the headlines, and he doesn't like to concede anything.

to the mission.
 ''They wanted a Christian burial for the boy" he said, ''but the missionary, Glen Davis, wasn't t due back until the next day. It was pretty hot, so I sent couple of the boys relatives over to Hol- brook to get some block ice so I could cool the body"
 On July IT, Davis conducted the services at an Indian burial ground beside the mission. Hu- kriede dropped young Joe's saddle, his lariat, a few pieces of cheap jewelry and an empty suitcase into the grave.
 From a hillside a quarter mile away the dead boys family watched the ceremony. Supersti- ton prevented them from going any closer.
 'They think they'll go blind or something if they touch anything that has been hit by lightning" {" Hukriede explained. 'They won't even touch a stone or stick that's been struck.
 Hukriede'S award - for public service above and beyond the call of duty - will be presented by Assistant Postmaster General Eu- gene Lyone in a ceremony at h. dian Wells.
The Nome nugget., 1959-08-10

INDIAN WELLS, Ariz., R - The postmaster of this tiny Ma vajo reservation community will be honored Friday by the Post Office Department for defying a superstition as old as man himself.
 The postmaster is Herbert s. Hukriede, 50, and behind the award he is to receive is a story of death, fear and friendship that goes back to the hot afternoon of July 15.
 That day, Harry Joe, a 17-year- old Navajo, was struck and killed by lightning while tending flock of sheep near his family's hogan. His elderly parents found his body lying under an abandoned wagon.
 Joe had been struck dead by the evil spirit of lightning, they believed, and an ancient Navajo superstition came back to haunt them. They refused to go near their sons body,
 Indian police also refused to touch the corpse.
 "They built a fire about 50 yards from the body that night" :" Hukriede recalled Sunday, "but they wouldn't go near it. Next day they asked me to help"
 Hukriede transported the body
