Cost Accountants
Group to Give
Ike a Saddle
President Eisenhower will re-
ceive a Texas-size gift from the
Dallas Chapter of the National
Association of Cost Accountants
this week. Len Gehrig, 1805 N.
Preston, associate director o f
the chapter, has announced.
The occasion will be the In-
ternational Cost Conference,
sponsored by the NACA. and
held in Sheraton Park Hotel.
Washington. I). C. from June 23
to 27. The gift will be a hand
tooled saddle, made to Ike’s
measurements, and especially
decorated for him. The saddle
will be presented to the Presi-
dent when he appears as a guest
before the conference by the
twelve Dallas businessmen who
will represent the NACA Dal-
las chapter at the Internation-
al meeting.
The President’s saddle w a s
built on special order by T h e
Schoelkopf Company. Dallas'
oldest established business firm.
The eompariy has been man-
facttiring' saddles in Dallas
since 1869. v
Ike’s saddle has been com-
pletely personalized in design
and trim. A series of special
hand tooling patterns were
used t.hrou|hoiflt and the metal
trim will make this saddle one
of a kind. Five silver stars are
embedded in a circle on the stir-
rup fenders, to denote Ike’s
military career, and the Presi-
dential seal, in sterling silver, is
mounted in the saddle horn to
signify his present employment.

Future Rodeo Performers Will
Come From High School-Colleges
Tomorrow’s top rodeo con- Steer Wrestling championships
testants will come from a source
the old-time bronc stumper
hardly gave a second thought:
the nation's high school and
college campuses.
The college cowpokes proved
their mettle last week compet-
ing on professional stock at the
National Intercollegiate Rodeo
Championships at Colorado
Springs. The markings they
made, the times they scored,
even the name of some of the
winners, sounded like they came
right off the big time profes-
sional circuit. 1 %
Take the newly minted Na-
tional Intercollegiate Champion
All Around cowboy, for example.
He’s Civile May. 24. a junior at
Lake Charles. La., who comes
by his championship ability na-
turally. His big brother is Har-
ley May. current world’s cham-
pion steer wrestler and presi-
dent of the Rodeo Cowboys' As-
sociation.
Harley won the intercollegiate
all around championship the
first three years it was offered
from 1949 through 1951. then
went on to win the World’s
Steer Wrestling Championship
his first full year of professional
competition in 1952.
But Clyde May wasn't the
only asset of the six-man team
from MsNesse State which took
the national rodeo team' trophy
home from the rodeo. Winner of
the steer wrestling at ihe finals
rodeo was Jim Miller, a 20-year-
old McNesse freshman who won
the National High School All

Miller’s winning time on three
steers at Colorado Springs was
a total of 17.8 seconds, good
enoungh to take top money at
many professional contests.
Another freshman member of
the McNeese Team was Warren
Frey. 19. who won Hie National
High School Bareback Riding
Championship last year and won
the bull riding at the college
finals last week.
Among other steer contes-
tants’ names at Colorado Springs
last week that had a ring of
familiarity from the professional
ranks were Denny Calhoun, a
sophomore at New Mexico A &
M. and Tony Salinas. Jr., a sop-
homore at Southwestern State
Teacher’s College. Calhoun’s
older brother Elliott currently
stands fourth for the 1957 steer
wrestling championship. Tony
Salinas’ father, one of the na-
tion's best ropers of the 1930’s
was the coach that sent roper
Toots Mansfield to seven world’s
calf roping championships from
1939 to 1950.
The fastest-growing intercol-
legiate sport in the west, college
rodeo has mushroomed in eight
years from a closely knit asso-
ciation of 13 college rodeo clubs
with a total of some sixty mem-
mers. Today 70 schools from the
Mississippi to the Pacific coast
field rodeo teams and the total
membership has grown to 850.
Regional elimination rodeos ear-
lier this spring decided who
would compete for the cham-
pionships last week.
As the elder May proved five
years ago. the competitive level
of college rodeo is just a small
notch below the professional big
time. Since May. many top col-
legiate cowboys have gone on to
win fnore than their share at the
professional contests Last year’s
intercollegiate all around cham-
pion. Ira Akers. Baird. Tex., won
the bull riding at the Madison
Square Garden rodeo last fall
and currently ranks sixth among
the top bareback bronc riders.
Lee Cockrell, another college
rodeo star last season, today
stands sixth for the calf roping
title.
There’s a good chance that
several among the 81 contestants
who viewed for points at Colo-
rado Springs last week will be
winning purses at professional
fodeos for a long time to come

Savage Workers
In New Guinea
Are Resented
By ROBERT C. MILLER
United Press Correspondent
RABAUL. New Guinea. (UP).
—Japanese salvage workers
complain bitterly of the anti-
Japanese attitude in this New
Guinea city and say. “the
Australians won’t forget the
war.”
Rabaul residents expressed
resentment that the UK) Japa-
nese had been brought here on
two year contracts to salvage
the scores of ships sunk when
this was Japan’s South Pacific
Naval Center.
The Japanese—the first to re-
turn since the end of the war—
are isolated from the commun-
ity in a barbed-wire compound
five miles from Rabual. and
are only allowed in town when
accompanied by a European.
"We tried to arrange baseball
games and sport competitions
with the local Chinese and Aus-
tralian teams." explained Dr.
Kenshi Asato. "but the Austra*
lain war veterans stopped us.”
Officials of the Returned
Servicemen's League said New
Guinea residents opposed the
return of the Japanese for sev-
eral reasons.
“First of all." explained Vet-
erans Leader Pat Henry. "Can-
berra arranged the whole thing
without consulting anyone in
Rabaul.
• Secondly, all of us remem-
ber the atrocities suffered by
Australians at the hands of the
Japanese during the war, par-
ticularly those of us in New
Guinea.”
BEHAVIOR EXEMPLARY
Another RSL executive asked
why the salvage contract was
not given an Australian firm,
employing Australian# and pay-
ing Australian scales.
Japanese salvage officials said
they expect to reclaim 150,000
tons of metal for export to Ja-
pan. Two shipments already
have been made in the past five
months, and crews are at work
on beached and submerged
hulks scattered about this pic-
turesque volcanic harbor and
adjoining Blanche Bav.
$35 A MONTH SALARY
The crews work a 10-hour day
with every third Sunday off. at
salaries averaging $35 a month.
The negotiated agreement calls
for a percentage of the profits
to be paid the Australian gov-
ernment.
New Guinea police officials
said they prohibited unescort-
ed Japanese from entering Ra-
baul for fear of native attacks.
Police said the behavior of the
Japanese had been exemplary
during the first five months of
their stay.
"Many of the loyal New Bri-
tain natives suffered horribly at
the hands of the Japanese dur-
ing the war,” explained a high
New Guinea official, "and we
felt it best that the salvage peo-
ple always have a European
with them when in Rabaul."
LONG TWO YEARS
Dr. Asato said the men suf-
fered considerably from the
tropical heat and most of them
were homesick for Japan.
“Occasionally groups of us go
to the movies in Rabaul." the
young doctod added, “but there
is only one theater and no-
where else to go."
The Japanese are housed in
comfortable quarters with a
hospital, large dining room and
recreational hall complete with
pachinco (slot machines).
INHABITANTS NEUTRAL
The arrival of the Japanese
split Rabaul into opposing
camps, but a large percentage
of the inhabitants are neutral.
Government Worker George
Kassi, 41, a former Japanese
prisoner of war. said most o f
the Rabaul residents, particu-
larly those of mixed blood, did
not want the Japanese back, but
they did want the harbor clear-
ed.

mer school at ETSC in Com-
merce. spent the week end with

Mrs. Beatrice Williams has re-
turned from a visit with rela-
