Pebble Beach, Calf. (ANP) -
Hard-driving golf pro Charlie sif-
ford of Los Angeles and the har-
monizing Mills Brothers singers
shared the spotlight with other big
name stars of golfing and enter
tainment as the Big Crosby's ma
tional pro-amateur golf tourna-
ment opened here last week.
Golfwise, Sifford, the ranking
Negro golfer in the nation, pre-
pared to renew his rivalry with
Arnold Palmer, the pre-tourna-
ment favorite, and last years big
gest money winner. But Sifford
has played winning golf, also, and
was given a strong chance to at
least finish among the leaders and
"in the money"
Palmer and Sifford had clashed
a week earlier in the $4,000 San
Diego Open, with Arnold winning
first prize and Sifford finishing
among the prize winners. Charlie
topped such favorites as Mike Sou
chalk, Art Wall and Marty FurgoL
Sifford's biggest victory in re-
cent years was the Long Beach
Open in 1857, when he took first
place. He has also won four Ma
tional Negro championships and
the Rhode Island Open, also in
ST.
The Crosby tournament was
played over three golf courses
Pebble Beach, Cypress Point and
the Monterey Peninsula Country
Club. All appeared to be well suit
ed for Sifford's type Of golfing.
Meanwhile, several entertainers
were matched with golfers in the
entertainment features Of the
tournament. The Mill Brothers
were matched with Sifford.

Public Place Bios

Lawrence, Kans. (ANP) - Peti-
lions calling for boycott Of bus
mess places which refuse service
to Negroes are being circulated
on the campus of University of
Kansas here.
One thousand students have al
ready signed the plea which urges
the X. U. An-Student Council to
adopt a strong ant-discrimination
resolution
Sponsor Of the movement Is the
Civil Rights Council that has been
conducting a test Of taverns and
other establishments to find out If
they will serve Negroes.
Sometime ago police Jailed 10
students, Negro and white, who
staged a sit-in in a small bar. They
were detained four hours but no
charges were filed.
Since then the city and campus
police have taken a hands off"
attitude.
Officials at X. U. have made 1t
clear no disciplinary action would
be taken against those who take
part In demonstrations so long as
they were non-violent and within
the law.
Organizer Of the Civil Rights
group is Michael Landwehr, a jun
Tor, from Brooklyn, NY.
Lines are being drawn In the
controversy. The students seem de-
termined to push the sit-ins where
discrimination appears and bus
inessman appear equally deter
mined to hold the line"
Kansas has a civil rights law
which went into effect a year and
a half ago. 1t provides a maximum
fine Of 81, 900 for any place Of pub
lie accommodation which discrim-
mates because Of race or color.
Many county law enforcement Of
ficers take the attitude that tav-
ems and bowling alleys are ex-
empt from this law.

&c. Gers Bobby
Boyd In Trade
With Orioles

Kansas City (ANP) - The Kan
sas City Athletics last week an
nounced the acquisition Of first
baseman Bobby Boyd from the
Baltimore Orioles in a straight
seven-player trade, with no cash
involved. So
In order to obtain the tan first
baseman and catcher Clint Court
ney, pitcher Jim Archer, infielder
Wayne Causey and outfielder Al
Pilarcik from the Birds, the AS
gave up just two players - out
fielders Whitley Herzog and Rus
Snyder.
A Good Pinchhitter
General Manager Frank Lane,
the arch trader, in engineering the
deal, for the AS called Boyd a
good pinchhitter who could help
solve the AS first base woes. A
good fielding first sacker, Lane
aims to use Boyd to fill in at the
position behind Mary Throneberry,
the regular first baseman. There
is some feeling, however, that
Boyd could move in and capture
the first base job for himself.
Boyd went to Baltimore from
the Chicago White Sox where he
had played under Orioles manager,
Paul Richards, who was then pilot
ing the Pale Hose team.
In II games with the Orioles
last year, Boyd batted .S17. He
was out with injuries most Of the
proceeding season.

strange that two members of the Board the
secretary who took the minutes, Mrs. Wales
XII nor Mr.. Peters recalled such an agree
ment. So we believe the reports were re-
ported as accurately as possible by this news
paper and others.
The business about facilitating admins
tratiOn is puzzling, especially in view of the
fact that the present Board of Education has
the largest administration staff in its history.
1t would be difficult for Mr.. Henry or any.
one else connected with the Board Of Edu-
cation to be convincing concerning n lack Of
administrative help. In fact, there may be
so many that they get in each others way.
There is no doubt about the zeal dis
played by this newspaper to report all of the
facts connected with public business con-
Quoted by the School Board and the present
Administration. That's its job. And although
it is very difficult and often impossible to
get the true facts concerning various activi-
ties, Mr. Henry and others can be sure full
reporting job will be conducted continuously,
with or without the help of school officials.
One of the reasons the Board Of Educa-
ton does not know about all of the accidents
caused by the use of trampolines and minia-
ture trampolines in the schools is due to the
fact they have not been given an accurate
account of the accidents. They weren't even
given at called press conference by the
Superintendent
We believe the seven members of the
School Board are intelligent enough and hui
man enough to decide for themselves
whether or not the use of trampolines-
trampolines are dangerous or not. But they
cannot decide this if the school officials con.
tinue to give inaccurate figures misleading
percentages and ong-delayed reports.
1t Is almost unbelievable that the head
Of the Physical Education or the chairman of
the Safety Board OF the School system can
not give complete report in a matter of
hours on the number of accidents, when they
happened, what schools, who was involved
and the seriousness Of them.
This letter and the subject under dis
cussion makes an important point If the
community is to give an intelligent opinion
and judgment on the 12-month plan as sub
mitted by Dr. c. Taylor Whittier, it must
have better and more accurate information
than that given to the School Board from
time to time by various department heads
on other subjects
A public relations expert would advise
the School Board and all connected with 1t
that 1t Is far wiser to be completely candid
abort Its operations and proposals. No one
expects the School Board or School Officials
to be perfect. By the same token, no one

Byron's Column

Here Is perfect example Of the spirit
existent in the present school administration.
It's q letter written by Paul A. Henry, Direc-
tor Of Administrative Services. We reprint
his letter in full and then give you the facts.
1T has been called to my attention that
an editorial in your Thursday, June %, edi-
ton has misstated the action of the Board of
Education with regard to the purchase of
six additional trampolines.
Our Procurement Division was very
definitely instructed, by the total Board Of
Education not to purchase any additional
trampoIines until Mr.. Bride Crescent Bride,
head Of the Physical Education Department.
submits his report regarding the safety Of
this type Of Institutional equipment 1t is
true that the Board approved the purchase
Of the six trampolines along with the re-
mainder of the physical education items;
however, this was done in order to facilitate
administration should it later be decided that
the trampclines should be purchased
I'm your zeal to editoralize on the ac-
tivities of the Board of Education, we feel
you should accept the moral responsibility
for reporting all OF the facts as they occur
In official session of the Board of Education.
In this type of action, partial stating Of the
facts can be most misleading to the readers
of your newspaper. Sincerely, Paul A. Henry,
Director of Administrative Services"
First of all, at least two hours were
spent in trying to get complete facts con-
corning this subject. Dorothy Waleski AS
sistant for Information, wasn't sure of the
number Of accidents reported by Mr. Bride
She did know the Board voted down by 80
an amendment that would have deleted the
purchase of six trampolines from the motion
for about $1,000 worth of athletic equipment.
That was the official action And that was
the action reported in city and county news
papers.
Checking further we contacted two mem
hers of the Board of Education. Both agreed
that this was the official action of the Board.
No one mentioned any aside from anyone
that would give the impression to reporter
that the Administrative Services was not to
purchase the trampolines until after MIR.
Brides report
We called Thomas r. Peters, newly APP
pointed official to interpret various reports
made by Department heads and put them in
laymen language. We asked him to inter-
pref the action concerning this motion. He
said nothing about an agreement between the
Board and Mr.. Henry's department.
Mr. Henry says In his letter that his pro-
curement division was very definitely in
structed by the total Board of Education. not
TO purchase any trampolines (He didn't men.

taken) This is all very well, but it is
