Three Colleges Are Ordered t On Probation NEW ORLEANS (INS) — More colleges and universities may be placed on probation today by the national collegiate athletic association council for rules infractions. The warning came In New Orleans Tuesday night after Walter Byers, NCAA executive director, announced that Texas A. and M., the University of Kansas and Mississippi college had been placed on probation. Dr. Clarence P. Houston of Tufts university, president of the NCAA, said the probation for the three schools is effective immediately. He added that the institutions are banned from appearing in any post season games or invitational tournaments. All of the cases are subject to review at any time. Byers indicated that the “fireworks” would be even bigger today when more schools are penalized for breaking NCAA rules. Some, he said, would be put on probation while others might get more “severe” penalties. The Kansas and Mississippi college probations are tor one year. Texas A. & M.’s penalty period will extend slightly longer — through May 14, 1957, the date on which the Southwest conference probation of the school, imposed last year, also terminates. It was the second time in the last three years that Texas A.&M. at College Station, Tex., has been hit by the NCAA. Last Jan. 1, the school completed a two-year probation for rules infractions. Dr. Houston said the NCAA council found Texas A.&M. guilty during April, 1955, of offering financial aid to at least two prospective students. Both Kansas and Mississippi college were penalized for basketball infractions. The NCAA said a Kansas staff member provided transportation for a prospective student athlete to visit the campus in "at least one instance." At Lawrence, Kas., Arthur (Dutch) Longburg, Kansas athletic director, said Kansas City high school graduate Kent Bryan was’ given a ride to the campus in 1954 ,by Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, retiring Kansas basketball coach. Bryan did not enroll at Kansas but at St. Louis university. Now he is at Wyoming university. Mississippi college, at Clinton, Miss., was found guilty of giving financial aid through an off-cam-pus group, starting basketball practice a month ahead of schedule and engaging in two outside games before the Dec. 1 starting date. One Death Reported From Texas Storms WACO, Tex. (INS)—Tornadoes, tornado alerts and flash floods periled Texas Tuesday but only one death has been reported. Billy Ed Wittenburg, 12, drowned Tuesday night near Lometa, Tex., when a school bus. trapped in a flash flood, was. washed off a low-water bridge in the central Texas community. Six other pupils were rescued by the bus driver, Thomas Knox, a mathematics teacher.

Rain Threatening Speedway Practice INDIANAPOLIS (INBJ —Anxious drivers scanned the skies today «s rain threatened to etop pzactlce runs at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. ' Red-haired Pat Flaherty, ot Chicago, became a favorite tor the 500-mile race Tuesday when he whined bis John Zink Special around the track at 138.058 miles per hour. But he said he hopes to do better in his official qualification try. Bob Sweikert, last year's winner, took a practice spin in the Ed Walsh Special, with a 184.3 lap. The showers may prevent completion of scheduled familiarization tests by rookie drivers Jack Turner, of Seattle, Wash., and Len Sutton, of Portland, Ore. Test driving also had been slated for another freshman, Marvin Piter, of Adrian, Mich. Eli Vukovich, older brother of Bill Vukovich, who met death in the 1956 race, continued his search for a mount, saying: “If I don’t get a ride, I’ll leave quietly before the race.” Eli, who is 3g years old, is a veteran of sprint and midget racing, but never has piloted a big championship car. | minor \ AMERICAN ASSOCIATION W.

Harlan, of Richmond, chairman of a legislative study commission that made a survey of salaries. Harlan added that the commission on May 22 wilt discuss the “hot potato’’ subject of fees and, per diem payments received by Officials in addition to their salaries. The commission opposed fixing of minimum and maximum salary scales, saying that such a system "tends to make elected office hold ers subservient to appropriating bodies.” Instead, the commission favors a fixed salary, based on tlie population and assessed valuation of a county.

Pirates Knock Cardinals Out Os Loop Lead NEW YORK (INS) — Pity the poor Pirates no more. The Pittsburgh “Patsies," National League doormats since 1952 and second • division goats ever since 1945, are beginning to worry the contenders with their hit-and-run tactics and steady climb in the standings. Under the «tarn guidance of manager Bobby Bragan and GM Joe L. Brown, the best Buc team since the 1948 Pirates — who went from eighth to fifth place — has played steady .500 ball since opening day to stand in fifth place with the .New York Giants only one game out of first. Three times they have beaten the world champion Brooklyn Dodgers, including the 30-hlt, 21run twin-killing of the humiliated Bums in Ebbets Field Sunday. The other three victories came over the Giants, Philadelphia and St. Louis. The Pirates stopped off at Busch Stadium Tuesday night and knocked the Cardinals out of first place, 4 to 2, on 12 hits. Infielder Curt Roberts was the hero of the Pirates’ third straight victory, belting a two-out, two-run double in the ninth inning off Vinegar Bend Mizell, who was charged with his first defeat in three decisions. Roberts also gave the Pirates their first run when he tripled in the third and rode home on Dick Groat’s single. Bragan, who has been using his starters in relief for precious wins, called on Vernon Law again to help save it for Elroy Face. The decision enabled Milwaukee to return to first place by .025 percentage points over the Cards. The Braves downed Philadelphia, 6 to 4. Cincinnati dropped Brooklyn another .017 points back in third place, 3 to 1, and the Giants kept Chicago in the cellar, 2 to 1, in the only NL daylight contest Baltimore knocked Chicago out of the American League lead in 11 innings Tuesday night, to 3 to 2, and New York took over by a game-and-a-half margin by whipping Detroit, 9 to 2, earlier in the day. Early Wynn pitched his third straight triumph for Cleveland in a 3-so-2 after-dark affair at Washt ington, Kansas City edged Boston, to 2. th the other day game.- - A sparse crowd of 13,05 ff braved I 42-degree temperatures in County ! Stadium to watch the Braves hand veteran Murray Dickson his third straight loss of the season. Milwaukee scored two runs in the second inning, two more in the third on Eddie Mathews’ third homerun of the year and decisive tallies in the seventh on an error, Billy Bruton’s double and sacrifice fly. Jolly relieved Bob Buhl in the seventh to check the Phils. Johnny Klippstein, who beat the Dodgers four times last, year, continued his mastery to give the Redlegs their fifth straight win. The Reds got their first run 6n rookie outfielder Frank Robinson's firstinning homer and the deciding marker on a fourth-inning walk, Ed Bailey’s single and an Infield out. It was the first setback in two decisions for Carl Erskine. Jim Hearn held Chicago to four hits, one a Don Hoak homer, while Willie Mays starred at the plate (or the Giants. Mays, who was hitting a weak .200 going into the game, smashed a pair of triples, scored one run and drove in the other. The Orioles scored twice in the eighth inning to tie Chicago and then took advantage of the fourth White Sox error of »the night to salt it away In the 11th inning. Bob Boyd, who singled in the tying run, doubled in the 11th and Rill Gardner bunted, Boyd coming all the way home when relief pitcher Millard Howell threw the ball into left field trying for a forceout at third base. George Zuverink won in relief. Wynn scattered seven hits and struck out nine Senators as he co-starred with Al Smith in the Cleveland homered in the seventh to tie the score and doubled in the ninth to come home with the winning run on Al Rosen’s safe bunt and a sacrifice fly. Whitey Ford recorded his third win in as many starts for New York, yielding seven hits while the Yankees hit Steve Gromek and three relievers for 11. including Mickey Mantle's fifth homer of the year and a two-rnn blast by Hank Bauer. > - , - Joe De Maestri’s squeeze bunt scored Jim. Finigan with the winning run for Kansas City. Lou Kretlow held the Red Sox to seven safeties, including a two-run homer by Dick Gernert.

Boxing Head Denies Exclusive Contracts NEW YORK (INS) — International boxing club Pres. Jim Norris has no exclusive contracts with the leading contendere for the vacated heavyweight championship but that doesn’t mean he wouldn't like to have. Norrie, testifying in the government’s anti-trust suit against the IBC Tuesday, said he had no such contracts but told federal Judge Sylvester Ryan that if a contender “has been developed through our efforts ... It seems reasonable that we should have his exclusive services for a period of time." The IBC president, who is also head of Madison Square Garden, testified that his boxing promotions have been a losing proposition with profits of $37,000 in 1954 and $32,000 in 1955 falling to offset earlier losses. Norris denied charges made last week by Cincinnati promoter Sam Bocker that the IBC put a $150,000 price tag on the 1149 Ezzard Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott title fight, which Becker wanted to stage in Cincinnati. The IBC preferred to stage the fight in Chicago, he said, for prestige reasons. Egypt May Purchase Weapons From Reds Egypt Ambassador Gives Interview By RUTH MONTGOMERY. WASHINGTON (INS) — Egyptian ambassador Ahmed Hussein asserted today that his country will be “forced” to purchase more arms from Communist nations if France and other Western allies «811 further tools of war to Israel. Hussein told this correspondent in an interview: "We are naturally gratified that American has refused Israel's request for arms. However, France has just sold Israel 12 jet fighter planes financed by U.S. arms aid and we believe your country should use its influence to halt that flow of arms.” The ambassador went a step fur ther. He said Egyptians are convinced America is in a position to “stop Israel from committing further aggression if it wants to make the effort.” “Why should the United State? sacrifice the friendship of 45 mil lion Arabs just to get votes at home?” he demanded. “After all j there are only 1,799,000 Israelis.” i He expressed fear the Israelis will eventually try to expand “from the Euphrates to the Nile.” Hussein conceded that Egypt if trading with red China, but stressed that the trade balance is heav ily in favor of his own country. He said Egypt sells only cotton to red China, but is getting iron and much-needed cash in return. "We want American aid to help build the high Aswan dam,” he said. “Our growing population needs more food, and the dam would give us millions of addition al arable acres on which to grow vegetables and fruit.” Hussein said he feels confiden’ that America and Britain will help with the dam when the facts are thoroughly understood here. The Egyptian ambassador has no apologies for Egypt’s purchase of Czechoslovakian arms. Delay Launching Os Single Stage Rocket Scientists Seeking New Altitude Mark White Sands Proving Ground, N. M.

Fabius Is Winner Os Derby Trial Tuesday LOUISVILLE, Ky. (INS) — If the Derby Trial is a good barometer, Calumet Farm stands a good chance of finishing either first or second in Saturday’s 82nd Kentucky Derby. Fabius, the fleet son of Citation, the 1948 Kentucky. Derby winner, lifted the stable's hopes Tuesday by streaking home first in the 19th renewal of the SIO,OOO added Derby Trial at Churchill Downs race track at Louisville. Six of the last eight Derby Trial winners have finished either first or second in the big classic for three-year-olds. Calumet, which has been out of the Kentucky Derby since 1952 when Hill Gail won, got another big boost Tuesday when Pintor Lea, a doubtful starter last week because of an Injury, turned in i good workout, raising the hopes of veteran trainer Ben Jones. Fabius withstood a final furlong challenge from Brandywine Stable’s Countermand to score a onelength victory. C. V. Whitney's Head Man was another threequarters of a length back in third place. The Calumet colt which went off as an even money favorite, returned |4, |3, and 32.40 across the board. Countermand returned 89.20 and 83.80 while Head Man paid 32.80 to show. The apparent restoration of Pintor Lea to racing effectiveness has boosted the stock of the Calumet stable considerably. Pintor Lea, the illustrious son of Ponder, 1949 Derby victor, worked out Tuesday and ran five-eighth in 1:01. New York — At the most recent count there were 570 television stations in the world, located and operating in 38 countries.
