Whitley Ford, the stubby south

first half of the season by work.
ing every fourth day, is going
to get an added day of rest
between starts for the New
York Yankees the rest of the
year.
Manager Ralph Houk an
nounced the change today as
the Yanks, who sent six players
to the All-Star Game, re-
grouped for the opener of a
12-game road trip tonight
against the Chicago White Sox.
THE All-Star appearance
threw Whitey's schedule out
Of kilter," Houk said, but ]
already had decided he should
get longer rests now that the
weather is getting hotter and
there are more arms available.
"Of course, there may be
some series where I want to
spot him. 1 certainly want
Whitley working against Detroit
every time possible and
against Baltimore, too.
I'm holding him out of this
series, except for maybe an in
ming or so of relief if he's
needed. I want him to open for
us in Baltimore Sunday"
Ford, at 80 enjoying his
finest season with a 1872 record
that tops the majors, isn't un-
happy about the change, al
though it could keep him from
. possible 3O-victory season. !.
Whitley never has won more
than 10 in any of bis past nine
seasons in the majors and he
conceded that he's i'been lucky
with the weather SO. far" this
year. s.e 4. I
1--WE only had a couple7of hot
days. But in July and August
most of them are going to be
hot, so I'll need the extra day."
The /, extra. pitching Houk
mentioned includes the two Kid
right-handers, Bill Stafford and
Roland Sheldon, plus Lefty Bud
Daley, who was acquired from
Kansas City recently, and right
handler Ralph Terry, just back
after a three-week layoff be-
cause of arm trouble.

Rookie Joe McClain, who has

THERE WAS A PICTURE on the sports
page of Norm Van Brocklin showing his
Hedging Minnesota Vikings how to throw
a football. At the Redskins office, Coach
Bill McPeak had crammed the last note
book into his valiSe before departing on the
first leg Of his trip to the West Coast. The
other National Football League clubs, and
those of the American League were on the
march to far-flung training camps.
This corner wondered how the annual
exodus from cities and off-Season jobs to
the green pastures of practice fields af-
fected the tall, serious looking, bespec-
tacled occupant of the Deputy Attorney
Generals office. Pictures of Whizzer White
give him the appearance of a scholar who
might have INDUCED in badminton at one
time, but football! Good heavens, no.
The photo is misleading, of course,
because Whizzer was one of the truly great
players of his time, Is years ago, gen.
uine All-America triple -threater at Colo
rado, and later tops as pro- Our impress
sion of his photo startled him almost as
much as if he'd been handed a summons
for walking on the grass. Then he seemed
genuinely amused.

said.
NATURALLY, LEGAL PROBLEMS oc-
cupy most of Whizzers time in these trou-
bled days, but he still enjoys rehashing
football experiences. Like the time he got
hit in the eye trying to catch a punt. 1t
was particularly embarrassing because run
ming back kicks was the speedy halfback's
strong suit And it happened during pre-
game warmup with no enemy tacklers
bearing down on him.
Coach Bernard F. (Bennie) Cakes of
Colorado helped make Whizzer star in
this phase of the game No fair catches for
Bennie.
He made us practice catching foot
balls until we were confident we could take
the ball on the dead run without FUN
bling" Whizzer said
, A punt return also was responsible for
the 6-foot-2 legal experts most painful ex-
perience in pro ball. He ran into Bruiser
Kinard of the old Brooklyn Dodgers going
full tilt in the opposite direction Team
mates Swore they could hear echoes from
that collision year later.
AN OLDER GENERATION of pros still
speaks of the Chicago Bears with awe, al
most veneration. George Halas' pupils were
rugged but apparently not we'll versed in
the rules. At least some survivors of that
CORY period insist that Halas' men didn't
always abide by the rules. But Whizzer
faced them during his two seasons at
Detroit and found them bruising but hon
est in their intentions.
1T was my experience" he said, that
a good, hard pro game was invigorating
and physically exhausting."

seen their averages shrink in
the last IA games.
Tasby, who once had a .309
average, has skidded to .289 for
the reason he has had only 10
hits in his last 49 at-bats, a
.204 clip.
Green (.306D has been a $50
hitter over the span in ques-
tion. Woodling (.30D has al
most held his own with a .289
average, but Long (.27D, a .297
hitter a month ago, shows a
ass mark for the past IA
games. O'Connell (.272) hit
PAS in that stretch.
There is reason to hope all
five will surge back and with

Arnold Palmer shot a one over

of damage to the clubhouse and
course. The downpour flooded
many greens, bunkers and fair
ways. Workmen we're out early,
using buckets to clear the bunk
ers and drying out the greens
with huge blankets, but early
starters we're hampered by the
unfavorable conditions.
The 30-year-old Latrobe, Pa,
golfer first appeared to have
scored a 70 which would have
given him a one-stroke margin
over Kel Nagle, Australia's de-
Tending champion, who had a
68-75-143. But as Palmer
handed in his card for official
recognition he was credited
with a 70 and the tie with
Nagle.
Palmer. was given a penalty
stroke because his ball moved
in the bunker alongside the
par-5 10th hole and he took
a I. He skied the ball out of
the trap and into trouble in
scrub across the green. After
finishing the hole, Palmer
asked for a ruling. He was
told to continue while the mat
ter was referred to headquar-
ters.
Ball Moves on DOwnswing
The controversy was over
Palmer's hitting a moving ball
in the trap. The ball moved
slightly as he was making his
downswing.
The favored American faced
q strong wind early in his
round but it was nothing COM
pared to the 50-mile-an-hour
gale that hit the first half of
the field of 108 and made
putting extremely difficult.
Jack Isaacs. of Langley AFB,

He shot a 41-41-82 to go with
his 73 for a 155 total.

SITUATION: A nucl r weapons attack on the Anchor age target area or the execution of the target area in antlcipa- tion of such an attack would create the necessity for recep- tion and care of evacuees in the Kenai CD district. The evacuees that will become the responsl- bility of the district will be the residents of the Anchorage re- zion. The role of the kenai CD district will be to receive and care for the evacuees, take care of it's populace and provide for fallout warning, shelter and de- contamination.
 MISSION: To receive, regis ter and furnish with food, cloth ing and shelter, evacuees for the target area. To provide de lection of, shelter from, and de contamination of radioactive fallout. To provide enforcement of economic controls and other orders. To provide emergency medical care, police and fire protection and other services necessary for survival. To man. age food production from natur- al resources as well as agricul- ture.
 Please understand that a planned situation can vary due to an attack that could vary from an anticipated assault.
 The Greater Kenai CD plan has been completely organized with individuals in the past. Many of these individuals are not now present. Some organi- cations involved change from year to year.
The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1961-04-28

Our plan is set up. Filling in of many of the jobs by individ- uals would take place with the implementation of this plan.
 Referring back to our mission, the first one will be the great est problem. Community build ings, schools and private homes will, of course, handle the bulk of any incoming people. CD estimates are that our area could handle 5000 evacuees. To this end, a receiving station would be set up by the "Y' In Soldotna. All traffic north from that point will be stopped to prevent congestion with traf- fic southbound.
 With regards to radioactive fallout, we are in very forum ate position. The FAA has trained personnel who check out fallout daily. In fact every Wednesday a report is sent to CD regional headquarters. In the event of an attack, this di- rector immediately gets a re- port from the local FAA at the Kenai Airfield. This informa- tion is passed on to the schools.
The Kenai Peninsula cheechako news., 1961-04-28

With the coming of summer also comes new businesses or expansions of the old ones.
 One of the most recent to open up in the Kenai-Soldotna area is United Sales, managed by Jackie Moore. She comes to the peninsula from Anchorage where she was associated with State Surplus.
 However, she is not a new

If there is fallout present, the children should stay in the building. Otherwise the chil- dren may proceed home.
 By past meteorological rec ords, our area is favored if An chorage would be attacked. Prevailing winds aloft would only drift this fa1lout our way a possible 22 days out of the year. Of course, fa1lout from the target area is more severe north and east of Anchorage.
