Among the firms to which he owned money were a clothing store, a florist, a grocery store, a dairy, a jewelry store, a drug store, service station, the tele phone company, an oil dealer, and a colored woman who had been employed to look after the Lobb children.

A 127 JOS triumph over Russia in the two.day track meet here Saturday and Sunday served to ie-emphasize American suprem acy in the sport and tab the Yanks as heavier favorites than ever to win track honors at the Pan - American Games in Chi. cago, Aug 27 Sept. 7, and the [ I960 Olympics in Rome B*t, Tight BOW at least, dark, haired Vasily Kuznetsov, the So l viet star in the world. Only a drenching thunderstorm that hampered the last three | events kept Kuznetsov from ! breaking his own world record in 1 th( decathlon event Sunday. The Russian ace was 74 points ahead ■ of his own record pace going in to those three events, but then finished seven points shy of the mark with 8,350 points. “The weather prevented it,” said Gabiial Korobkov, coach of the Soviet squad. “He will do better the next time.” The top U.S. rival to Kuznet. sov, former world record holder Rafer Johnson of Kingbury, Calif., missed this meet because of in juries in an auto accident. But Kuznetsov looked Sunday as if he would have beaten even a healthy Johnson.

He said the House, although increasing the total for the current fiscal year only by $500,000, in eluded funds for 44 new projects which eventually would cost al. most 500 million. He said the Senate added 38 new projects, which ultimately would cost more than 700 million. "The fact that such commit ments results in only relatively small increases in expenditures in fiscal 1960 seems to me imma terial,” the President said He made it clear that he would not be satisfied if conferees draft a compromise bill which retained many of the new projects, but held down the dollar total but cut ting fund; on projects already under way.

Rus. sian women won 6 of 10 events at Moscow, eight here. The surprises were about even i ly divided—the defeat of Ameri can Olympic hammer throw ; champion Harold Connolly by Russia's Vasily Rudenkov, the j surprise second place in the hop, step, and jump by Ira Davis of Philadelphia. Record honors also were even. ly divided—Parry O’Brien of Los . Angeles eclipsed the world shot j put record with a heave of 63 feet. 24 inches; Russia’s Tamara Press bettered the women's shot put mark with a toss of 55 feet, fit* inches. Neither mark proba. bly ever will be recognized as a world record — they were better than the listed world marks but not as good as previous perform, ances by O’Brien and Miss Press which still are awaiting official recognizing.
