President And Leading Sport Figures Confer By JOHN BARRINGTON (1.N.6. Sport* Editor) NEW YORK (INS) — Only the President of the United States could call a conclave of sports figures ranging from Gene Tunngy, Bobby Jones and Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick down to such comparative youngsters as Willie Mays, Wes Santee and Tony Trabert. Not even the- Chief Executive would exercise such unique powers but for the most important of reasons. President Eisenhower did do so, entertaining 32 of this nation* biggest sports personalities at a White House luncheon, to discuss a subject so vital its importance should be immediately;, apparent to all of us. “Get people out of spectators' seats and put them on the playing field,” explained Tunney, “that's the President’s idea.” Mr. Eisenhower is vitally concerned about two things—the rise of juvenile delinquency and the decline of" physical fitneaa In our young people —- that indicate a breakdown somewhere in our sports and physical training apparatus. In a totalitarian country, toe President’s problem would be an easy one—simply issue a decree. It doesn’t work like that over here, which may be one of those mixed blessings inherent in a democratic way of life. Sports should not be made a scapegoat. There are many factors that causes juvenile delinquency, just as there are many reasons for the seeming “softness” of "our modern youth. It isn’t sports alone that are letting our younger generation down. But sports is a pretty basic storting point for trying to repair the damage. “A clean mind in a clean body’’ is not as corny an idea as some modern cynics would have us believe, any more than there does not remain a world of truth in the old, trite, threadbare adage that “The devil finds work for idle hands.” And sports certainly is a dramatie place to begin a campaign, through the appeal of its glamorous champions and of Ike himself —a West Point football player, legend has it eree a minor league outfielder under another nkme, and still an ardent golfer and fisherman. Not everyone can grow up to be President, or a champion, either. But then, as Tony Trabert expressed it: “The main thing Is not to make big stars but to help the little kids coming up.” Our promoters — and that includes college football and other amateur sports as well as baseball and boxing — have been too busy “counting the house” to take the long range view. The best fan you can have is the one who loves a sport—even if he’s too old or not good enough to play it at the top level — because he once did participate in it and learn the rudiments of'it a*, a youngster on a playground. Too, we tend to glorify the champion and make any kid whose abilities end short of stardom feel a sense of shame and failure. What we need to do is foster a sense of accomplishment and pride in merely having participated, Whether the participation was outstandingly good or spectacularly bad. There’ll atm be champions — more and better for having had more and better competition. SE C CHAIRMAN (Continued from Page One) after receiving - personal assurances from Frank Tobey, mayor of Memphis, Tenn., that his city would build its own power plant, making the proposed Dixon-Yates plant unnecessary. Memphis, which has received its power from the Tennessee Valley Authority for some 20 years, was to have gotten the Dixon-Yates output instead under the hotly disputed contract. This would have replaced power which the TVA must now supply to atpmic energy commission installations in the area. Shortly after attorney general Herbert Brownell Jr., announced that the deal was off, Democrats resumed their year long attacks on the contract . » « - Sen. Wayne Morse (D Ore.), called on the President to “cleanhouse” by firing atomic energy commission chairman Lewis L. Strauss; Morse charged that Strauss “hasn’t come clean’’ to senators investigating the pact. The senator joined other Democrats in calling the contract “unsavory,” “scandalous;” “sinister” and “smelly.” They said it exposed administration efforts to replace .public power projects with private operations. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.), said his senate judiciary subcommittee will not drop its plans to cal! key government officials, in-

Lad Relumed To Father By Court Tearful Scene In Court At Marion •MiARION. Ind. (INS) —A two-year-old boy was handed back to his father in a tear stained decision in grand circuit court Monday. The little boy aid his foster parents wept at the decision of Judge Robert T. Caine on a habeas corpus writ, filed by Roland L King, a disabled veteran who appeared in- court in a wheel chair. ’ The boy, Ricky Allen, had been given to the foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl R. Gossett, Jr., by his mother. Patricia King, and had lived with the couple since Dec. 2. The father charged that he was ill in a hospital and did not know his wife had turned their child over for adoption and left him. The disabled veteran had since filed suit for divorce from Mra. King, charging desertion. Judge Caine advised the father that the foster parents were prepared to offer the child a number of advantages but King said that he would be able to make a home for the little boy. The father indicated that his mother, with whom he Mvee, would aid in rearing the little boy. King receives WOO monthly compensation from the veterans administration. CRAIG ASSERTS (Continued from Page One) from a Canada ing vChich he said “poor-luck” prevailed, will leave tonight forCamp Grayling, Mich., where he will inspect the Indiana national guard toe remainder of this week. The chief executive refused to disclose his reason for the attempted ouster of former secretory of state James M. Tucker as chairman of the state conservation commission. Neither would he say what he would do if Tucker continues, to resist the ouster. eluding Strauss, in its attempts to “get to the bottom” of the contract The Tennessee Democrat said on NBC’s “today” television program that the President’s cancellation of the contract “will end a scandalous affair . . . which has disrupted the entire administration.” He declared the cancellation “isn’t a blow to free enterprise” because “there never was free enterprise in the Dixon - Yates deal.” The truth about the power conadded,, is that the administration cancelled it to avoid a scandal. Kefauver repeated his previous charges that the Dixon • Yates deal was “worst than the Teapot Dome” scandal in the 1920’s and said there may be a law violation because of the secrecy” involved in going ahead with the deal. He asserted that the contract was simply a "partnership between this administration and big investment bankers”—not the people—“for the purpose of taking the people for a ride.” orw x.THIS FLOOR ENAMEL LASTS LONGER I No fuss or bother either — use Kyanbe Floor and Deck Enamel on wood or concrete, indoors or out Any one of its 12 rich, dust-evading colors Will flow on easily, leave a tough, glistening wear-resistant surface that lasts longer.
