At Davis Rumors

Buffalo General Manager
Dick Gallagher-who formerly
headed the Browns talent staff
repeatedly has laid claim to
Davis in the AFL and offered
him a fabulous salary, plus 8
lucrative off-season job.
Davis, on his visit to Mary
land, was reported to have said
he didn't care where he played
pro football "as long as it's in
the National League"
Fullback Jim Brown of
Cleveland, Davis close friend,
echoed that sentiment after
Sundays game here with the
Redskins. Brown said he would
advise Davis to sign with an
NIL club and would urge him
to play with the Redskins II
they drafted him.

Bill Would Provide
PAYMENT for Minors
Other Persons

The Governor has submitted a
Bill to the Legislature to provide
for payment Of benefits to minors
or persons under legal disability
under the Retirement Act. This
amendment provides for making
payment to the court appointed or
legal guardians of minors or
where no guardians have been
appointed, to any person who in
the Judgment of the Board Of
Trustees is responsible for the care
of minor regardless Of the amount
involved. This Bill will accom-
plish two worthwhile results:
/. In a case where there is no
court appointed or legal guardian,
payment to a person selected by
the Board Of Trustees win relieve
the Government Of liability.
2. Payment to a person respon-
sible for the care Of the minor, in
stead of to the minor himself, will
prevent dissipation Of the money
by the minor.

President Kennedy has called
.'the champion Of international
cooperation" arrived in Wash

nedy and to help tighten Ameri-
can links with Tunisia.

Tunisia. a North African re-
public the size Of Louisiana,
has become staunch Western

-Bourguiba has often pointed
out that, by sheer geography,
his nation has no choice but
to be with the West.
Air from U. S.
Since Tunisia gained its in
dependence from France in
1886, the United States has sent
"a fortune in economic aid.
This year alone the total in
direct aid and long term loans
is $84 million.
Lately Tunisia has been do
ing some economic flirting with
the Communist bloc. The re-
suits have been marginal, how
ever. and the United States has
made no effort I'd discourage
such trade.
THE best answer is to create
such conditions that the Tu-
nisians will prefer to do busi-
ness with u.s." said one Ameri-
can diplomat.
The 60-man United States
mission here, along with the
diplomats, has made its motto:
1--WE will have friends If we
merit them" The hope is that
Tunisia will be a sparkling ex-
ample Of success for Mr.. Ken
nedy's policy of peaceful COM
petition with Russia.
OF Two Cultures
Mr.. Bourguiba himself is the
product Of two cultures. He
is equally at home among the
shrill mobs Of the Tunis mar
kets or within the refined in
tricacies Of French politics.
A short man with thinning
gray hair. piercing blue eyes, a
square jaw and a puffed-out
chest, Mr.. Bourguiba is a
master at balcony oratory.
