...pros must earn an annual minimum (an average of $667 for each of the first 15 tournaments entered) or else be forced into the field of "rabbits" who spend the first day of each week scrambling to make the 156-man draw in qualifying rounds. Says Plaintiff Lionel Hebert (1957 P.G.A. champion): "I resent anyone in this era telling me that what I won, they're going to take away. They're going to have a hell of a fight doing...
...Hebert was one of the targets of the rule change. He entered 20 tournaments last year, but played so poorly that he never finished higher than 47th place, and his total money earnings were just $828. Yet each time he competed, a spot in the draw had to be denied to one of the rabbits. P.G.A.

Edward Hebert (Armed Services), and Texas' Wright Patman (Banking) and W.R. Poage (Agriculture). All were replaced by Northerners...
...Services Committee apparently will have no immediate effect on the committee's informal prohibition on sending military personnel to Harvard and other schools that unilaterally terminated their ROTC programs. The policy was adopted three years ago and strengthened last year at the insistence of former committee chairman F. Edward Hebert (D-La), who lost the powerful chairmanship in January. The committee's chief counsel said this week that if any reversal of the blacklist decision were to be made this year, the new policy probably would have been agreed upon during the Armed Services Committee's already completed annual authorization...
