New Home

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf,
May 8 (AP)-The Richard
M. Nixons held an open
house for the press last night,
giving newsmen and their
wives their first chance to
see the interior Of the fam
ily's new $150,000 home in
fashionable Trousdale Es-
tateS.
The rambling, white, hill
side home was decorated in
formal fashion In the living
room and dining areas.
The rest Of the house,
which includes four bed
rooms, seven bathrooms and
q free-form pool, was strictly
casual California in style.
Mr.. Nixon, now seeking the
Republican nomination for
California Governor, and his
wife Patricia, met their guests
at the door. About $50 per-
sons attended the three-hour
reception,
The Nixons' two pretty
daughters Patricia, 16, and
Julie, IA, showed visitors
about the house, which con-
tanned many costly objects Of
art.
Most Of the art objects
were given to Mr.. Nixon dur
ing his two terms as Vice
President.
They included two paint
ings from Queen Elizabeth
and an intricately wrought
spun-gold cigarette box from
Emperor Halle Selassie Of
Ethiopia.
One newsman observed TO
Mr.. Nixon: "This place is q

House and a lot prettier than
the Statehouse at Sacra-

The former Vice President
shook his head and laughed:
''Well. you might have a

fided that her husband had

unanimous opinion that a paid
commissioner is the most eff
cient solution-best not only
for the PGA as a body, but
also for the poor soul elected
to the presidency.
Lou Strong, the current land
unsalaried) PEA president, had
a pretty plush job at Oak Hill
Country Club in Rochester, but
now he's unemployed after de-
voting about 1870 days to PGA
business last year. Nobody
knows how many other presi-
dents had to seek other jobs
after a hitch in office, or how
much money they lost even If
they held on to their jobs.
Sometime last season Bill
Clarke of Hillendale, who was
then the Middle Atlantic pres
ident, said he'd like to see the
PGA run by a paid car such
as in baseball and pro football.
He also said he'd like the
Middle Atlantic to do some
thing about it.
The something he hat in
mind was a resolution recon-
mending such a move which
would be introduced at the
annual convention. Max Elbin
of Burning Tree, another Mid
die Atlantic delegate, thought
differently and proposed bring
ing 1t up under new business.
Both Clarke and George Bird
of Richmond, now the Middle
Atlantic president, agreed.
But when resolutions, which
must be forwarded to the PGA
in writing 80 days before the
annual meeting, were circu-
lated, Clarke, Elbin and Bird
saw that four different pro-
posals covering a paid commits
sioner or president were due for
discussion. ~
This is all we wanted"
Clarke said the other day.
Just have the idea discussed.
We didn't like what these other
area groups proposed so we de-
cided to vote against it.
"All four of the resolutions
would bring in a new system
too quickly" Clarke said.
These things take a lot of
study and planning"
What the PGA got is a plan
for a complete study Of the
PGA administration to be pre-
sented within 80 days after a
committee has been named. So
far the committee hasn't been
named, but that is due within
80 days.

other vehicles used on soft

Years ago, some wise poet
said, 1T takes one to know

which is probably just as we'll,
considering the kind of life

he was right. Poets are always

All this has been a lead into
the case of Ernie Davis, the
Cleveland Browns all-American
halfback. During preseason
training, 1t was discovered that
Ernie had leukemia, a usually
fatal disease. Later, however, it
was found that the disease had
been checked, that is, 1t was
in a remiSSive state. No doc
tor who has examined the one

there would be the slightest
danger in allowing him to play.
Ready to Play
AS soon as Davis had been
given this new lease on life,
he trained very hard to get
himself into condition to play.
For weeks now he has been
ready. The Browns, going badly
through the first half of the
season, need help badly.
