Oklahoma Job
Eyebrows
In RuIesGrOup

BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star staff Writer

A $25 million Oklahoma rec
lamation project sponsored by
Senator Kerr caused the House
Rules Committee today to move
with extra slowness and some
skepticism on the measure.
The committee met this morn
ing at the request of Demo-
cratic leaders for clearance of a
resolution to send a $2.5 billion
rivers and harbors authorize
ton bill to conference with the
Senate's almost 81 billion bill.
The hearing was resumed this
afternoon and seemed likely to
go all day. Committee Chair
man Howard w. Smith, Demo-
crat of Virginia, insisted on a
detailed explanation of more
than 20 additional Senate prof.
ects, including the Oklahoma
item which did not have Budget
Bureau Endorsement.
Unless the committee acted
today on the clearance resolu-
tion the House probably would
be unable to consider it before
Thursday.
Smith in No Hurry
Mr.. Smith, said he was in
no hurry to conclude his COM
mittee hearing or to send the
rivers and harbors measure to
conference.
He complained that even the
total of the Senate's money
authorization in the bill was
a matter of dispute. He noted
that the House recently passed
bill authorizing 166 projects
to improve rivers and harbors
for navigation and flood con-
troll and against beach erosion
at a total of 1925 billion. He
said the Senate additions
amounted to at least SITS bill
lion.
Democratic Representatives
Davis of Tennessee and Jones
of Alabama estimated that the
additions amounted to about
SIS billion. Some project au-
thorizations, however, carried
no specific price tag. In any
event there was general agree
ment that the Senate's bill
would authorize more than $3.8
billion and perhaps closer to
$4 billion,
Mr.. Smith described this as
"an extraordinary situation"
even in a congressional election
year.
He tried to obtain assurances
from Mr.. Davis and other
prospective House conferees
that they would refuse to yield
on the unbudgeted Senate
items. Mr.. Davis said he could
promise only ito do our level
best"
Problem Seen
Mr.. Davis conceded, however
that this might prove extreme
lily difficult in the case of ths
project sponsored by Senator
Kerr Democrat Of Oklahoma
for his State.
Chairman Smith and severa
of his fellow committee mem
bers wanted to know whether
the Oklahoma project hao
anything to do with delay or
a bill providing Federal aid fol
highway construction.
They noted that Senator Kerr

The American Basketball

future of the Los Angeles Jets,
A meeting between Jet and
ABL officials was scheduled to
continue today. A spokesman
said there is "a good possibil-
ity" that the Jets will remain
in the league.
He said an announcement is
expected today. The meeting
was called to revamp the
schedule in an attempt to help
the club financially. Most of
Los Angeles games have been
played early in the week.
Two of the Jets home games,
scheduled tomorrow and Sun
day with Hawaii, have been
postponed. And in Cleveland,
a spokesman for the Pipers

THE DAWN BROKE BLEAK and miser-

The London streets were wet from the
previous day.
Inside his lodgings, Roger Bannister, an
oxford medical student, prepared his por-
ridge and coffee in the ordinary manner,
but this was not an ordinary day. For
weeks the young man had been preparing
for this day, May 6, 1854 This was the day,

recalled here the other day. Il had worked
in the hospital the previous day We had
dual meet, you know, against Cambridge.
But what was 1 to do now? My dilem-
ma was this: Was it worth trying for if the
conditions were not perfect? There was
bad wind. Should I waste my effort
against bad wind or just not try and save
everything for the next chance?"
THE NEXT CHANCE lay 10 days in the
future, but the spectre of John Landy, the
great Australian runner, haunted Ban
mister like Shakespearean ghost.
Il knew Landy would do it. 1 also
knew if tried and failed, maybe l wouldn't
want to try again, or if did, wouldn't
be in condition. You must build up to
it slowly.

MIAMI BEACH, Jan. 18 (AP)
The rules of college football

The committee left unchanged

Fritz Crisler. former Michigan
coach who served as acting

coaches would find the COM
mittee's actions acceptable.
THE small colleges favor one
rule, the universities another" j"
Crisler said. However, think
the majority do not want free,
unlimited, unrestricted substi-
tuition"

The committee adjourned its
