70-Year-Old 'Myrt' To Try $64,000 Baseball Question
NEW YORK—(U.P.)-Mrs. Myrtle Power, 70, baseball's new Georgia peach, today indicated that she would try to win pennant money on TV's "the $64,000 Question."
Mrs. Powers, or "Myrt", reaches the $32,000 level on the show last night by answering another baseball auerv.
She revealed that she was already looking for an expert to bring to the CBS-TV program next Tuesday. Under the rules, she can bring a helper for the last question.
"A ballplayer doesn't change his underwear during a winning streak," she explained, "so I'm not going to change my dress."
Mrs. Powers wore a black silk dress for the third time on the show. She said she would wear it again next week.
The question asked her dealt with the seven ballplayers who had collected more than 3,000 hits during their major league careers. She was asked to supply the six aside from Ty Cobb, the old Georgia peach.

Defense To Come Before Budget
OMAHA - (U.P.) — Vice President Richard M. Nixon said last night that the nation's defense needs will not take a back seat behind administration budget-cutting plans.
"This administration will never put its desire to balance the budget ahead of its determination to maintain adequate military strength," Mr. Nixon said.
Nixon's speech before the International Association of Fire Chiefs was an apparent answer to Democratic charges that proposed administration budget cuts would weaken the nation's military might.
United States military strength will be maintained even if it means a deficit in national spending, Nixon said.
