Patriarch Gives President
Lebanon CedQrs SQDIinqs
BY MOHAMMED RAUF, Jr.
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy yester-
day was presented with 10
saplingS of the famed Cedars
of Lebanon for planting in
the White House garden and
in the garden Of his home in
HyanniS Port.
The presentation was made
by His Beautitude Paul Peter
Meouchi, the world head of
the Catholic Maronites, who
% years ago was a United
States citizen.
The Maronite patriarch,
who seemed to have stepped
straight out of the pages of
the Acts of the Apostles, is on
a visit here from Beirut,
Lebanon. where he has his
headquarters. Yesterday he
had a SO-mlnute meeting with
President Kennedy.
Came Here in 1920
The patriarch first came to
America from Lebanon in
1920 as a member of a Mar
onite delegation. He stayed
behind to study. and when he
assumed United States citi-
zenship he was made head of
the Maronite parish in New
Bedford, Mass.
Recalling his experiences at
a reception given by the
Lebanese Ambassador and
Mrs. Ibrahim Al-Ahdab, the
visitor said that in the 1882
presidential elections his vote
went to Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
In 1884 he was elected an
archbishop. He then left the
United States for Beirut. In
1856 he was made the over
all head of the church which
has IL million followers all
over the world. 100000 of
them living in this country.
Patriarch Meouchi, who is
SO, was wearing his ceremo-
NAL robe of office. which
consisted of a red gown called
"soutane." and a red waist
band called "ceinture." From
his neck there hung a gold,
jewel-encrusted cross, and on
one of his fingers he had a
gold ring-all symbols of his
office.
Commands Languages
The patriarch can speak
seven languages - Arabic.
French. English, Italian.
Spanish. Syriac and Latin.

doesn't see any need to hurry
the matter.

There was a strong hint TO-
day that Jim is asking about

season with Cleveland. Earlier,
some estimates of his demands
ranged up to 100000. Jim re-

the guarantee to play quarter

Montreal won out over the
Cleveland Browns of the Ma
tional Football League and the
New York Titans of the Ameri-
can Football League in bidding
for the Gopher star.
Stephens said the Titans
actually offered him the best
deal, but he favored the other
two leagues. He also said he
didn't think the Browns were
as serious about signing him as
the other two clubs and didn't
"offer me enough security"

Littler slipped six birdie puts

stroke lead into today's second
round of the $50, 900 San Fran

played to a par 72-one stroke
over the par for this event.
Tommy Jacobs matched the SO
two years ago in the Golden
Gate Open, forerunner to the
current event.
Littler went into the second
round two strokes in front of
the veteran Marty Furgol, who
also had a fine putting. record.
Unexcited over running down
puts ranging from 8 to 35
feet in his par-buSting opener,
Littler was far more pleased
with a recovery he made hit
ting lefthanded with a putter
on the fourth hole that won
his toughest bird.
With his ball lying alongside
a tree 80 yards from the green
in such a position he couldn't
hit it normally. Gene whacked
it lefthanded onto the green 20
feet from the pin and ran down
the putt righthanded as the
crowd screamed in delight.

first Dodger to win the base
stealing title two consecutive
years. Wills came up with 35
successful thefts in 1861 to go
with so the previous year.
A .282 hitter last season, Wills
was an ideal leadoff man and
led the club in runs scored
(l05), hits (173). triples Qc), i,
sacrifice bunts Q3 for league
lead), at-bats (613) and singles
(150 tied for league lead with
