Tri-State district fans will be given the opportunity to see first hand how the Pittsburgh Steelers are indoctrinated in the various phases of the game Thursday night, August 7, when they are featured in a unique demonstration at the Charleroi High School Stadium. Coach Buddy Parker and his staff will put the 1958 Steelers through the mill, showing the intricacies of the multiple offensive and defensve patterns used by pro teams and how to off-set them.

William Steinkraus, the U.S. team captain from Westport, Conn., owned one of them and George Morris of New Canaan, Conn., a newcomer to the team, owned the other. Steinkraus, riding First Boy, won the "Preis Der Reiterlichen Vereinigung" jumping event to gain his second victory in the show which is the most important annual equestrian event in this country. Only five of the 63 starters in this event negotiated the track faultlessly with Steinkraus posting the fastest time. The trial was held across ditches and walls with 12 obstacles requiring 21 jumps.

GRIGG United Press International PARIS (UPI) — Gen. Charles de Gaulle today will promise Secretary of State John Foster Dulles greater French political stability in return for American help in exploding the first French nuclear weapon an informed source said. Dulles flew here Friday for a quick round of conferences today with the new French premier, Foreign Minister Maurice Couy Murville and other French officials. The pressing French demand was for admission to the exclusive American - British - Russian "nuclear club." Dulles was reported to have strong reservations about this because of past French political instability. Dulles met Friday night with NATO Supreme Commander Gen. Lauris M. Norstad and with NATO Secretary general Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium this morning before his visit with De Gaulle. The allies were reported concerned over making France a stronger NATO partner. Today's Dulles-De Gaulle meeting was the American government's first official contact with De Gaulle since he took office June 2 after the gravest crisis in recent French history.

(UPI)—Fisherman George Vasquez of Waltham cast his line far and deep, trolled it slowly in and suddenly had a strike. It was a big one without a doubt, thought Vasquez, who had switched to heavier tackle only minutes before. His line jerked, the reel hummed and Vasquez set his heels firmly to avoid an impromptu dip in the ocean. It was the strongest cod the 53-year-old veteren angler had ever hooked. He played it expertly, giving and taking at just the right moments. Slowly but surely the quarry was pulled toward shore, despite its powerful and almost frantic jerks on the line. Vasquez wasn't to be denied. The net was ready, the angler could almost smell frying fish, when suddenly the line took an un- [[cut off]]
