Turns Cold Shoulder To UN Commission LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPI) — United Nations authorities here have advised Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold to keep a 15-nation “good offices" commission out of the Congo for the present, informed sources said today. The sources said U. N. officials fear the commission would get a hostile reception from Congolese political leaders as well as the people. Col. Jojeph Mobutu, the army strongman who seized power in the Congo Sept. 14, turned a cold shoulder to the commission Tuesday. “The commission won’t be able to count on me or the army,” he said. “I won't receive them.” President Joseph Kasavubu previously had expressed a dim view of the idea of another group of outsiders coming to the Congo. All efforts so far to bring about a political conciliation among rival leaders have failed but Kasavubu and Mobutu fear another element such as the multi-nation commission would only lead to further confusion. Notre Dame Center Is Out For Season SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPI) — Trainer Gene Paszkiet said Tuesday that tackle Ed Burke will be available for duty when Notre Dame plays Pittsburgh next Saturday but that center Tom Hecomovich will be lost for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury.

Pledge Future Joint Action On Expansion ' NEW YORK (UPI) — Commissioner Ford Frick promised future National and American ■ League cooperation on expansion ■today while Branch Rickey called for Congress to supervise the job. At the same time the disappointed official who tried to get Dallas-Fort Worth declared a major league territory declared they are no longer interested in the attempt and might get out of i baseball completely. I These were the latest lepercus- . sions of the American League's bombshell announcement last ' week that it will expand into a J 10-team circuit with new fran- ’ chises in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles and with the Sena--1 .tors shifted to Minneapolis - St. Paul effective in 1961. “I don’t want the right hand not to know what the left hand i is doing because we get into trouble that way,” said Frick, who announced he had obtained an agreement from league presidents Warren Giles and Joe Cronin to take future expansion moves jointly. “When one group goes off half-cocked on expansion, there is fighting and recrimination. You ruin the city you’re going Into and you hurt expansion. “I am interested in one thingexpansion. I don’t care who goes where.” Meet Five Hours Frick made his statements after ! a five - hour meeting with Giles I and Cronin, which he said he I called four or five days ago. He > also outlined three rules concerning player recruitment by the new ; franchises: > 1. No new club shall be entitled I to any major league privilege un- ; til it qualifies for membership in the American or National League j and is so certified by the com- , missioner. ' 2. Immediately upon acceptance ; for membership, new clubs will be entitled to sign free agents and to exchange or purchase con- ' tracts under the existing rules of * baseball. In addition, they will be given preferential treatment with- > in their league on all waiver claims. 3. Following completion of the ■ major league draft, each new I member may select two players . from minor league clubs for the . regular selection price of $25,000 > for each contract. Rickey Blasts AL The 78-year-old Rickey, presi- 1 ’ dent of the defunct Continental League, said “It is now squarely ‘ up to the Congress of the United States to protect major league ex- ■ pansion in this country.” “The American League did not ’ choose a single one of the Con- * finental League group,” said Rickey. “And they did not ex- ■ pand except to move the Wash- ) ington club into one city that had - not previously been in either major league. This is not expansion. This is simply extension. It is difficult to understand how reputable gentlemen will explain this breach of good faith.” J.W. Bateson of Dallas and Amon Carter Jr. of Fort Worth said .they were “so disappointed over recent events that left our . area out of National and Ameri- . can League expansion, we have ’ decided no good purpose will be , served by continuing our efforts.” Hockey Results International League .

Jobless Pay Claims Increase In Stale INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — T h e number of unemployment compensation claims increased by nearly 5,000 last week in Indiana, director Richard A. Phillips of the Indiana Employment Security; Division announced Tuesday. Phillips said the increase was largely due to a one-week layoff of 3,600 employes of transportation equipment manufacturers plus several smaller layoffs in other industries. The total number of claims filed! for the week was 49,668, compared to 44,886 the previous week. Initial claims rose to 10,996 from 8,054. Fifteen of the division’s 30 offices noted declines in new unemployment. Phillips said new claims deceived by division offices in the, Calumet area reflected a slight i decline in steel industry employ- 1 ment. Two plants in the electrical machinery industry also reported some reduction in force last week, Phillips said. Phillips said call-backs occurred in the Anderson. Evansville and New Albany areas. Colder weather slowed activity in the construction and stone industries. The number of claims for continuing weeks of unemployment increased from 36,832 to 38,672.

Southern Cal Star Undergoes Brain Surgery LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The collegiate football career of Mike McKeever, one of .the University of Southern California’s twin line AU-American candidates, is at an end. The husky guard was reported in satisfactory condition today at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital after undergoing surgery Tuesday night for the removal of a blood clot on his brain. But doctors said his college gridiron days are over. Along with his twin brother,; Marlin, Mike led the USC varsity in defensive statistics for two j straight years. Mike also was' All-Pacific Coast last season and I second team All-America. Dr. Marvin Korbin, a member J of the Cedars of Lebanon staff, performed the delicate operation, assisted by the USC team physician, Dr. Thomas Cline. The operation lasted approximately one hour and 45 minutes. Dr. Cline said they found an old clot of indeterminate age and evidence of recent bleeding, probably caused by a kick in the , head Mike received in a pileup in last Saturday’s USC - Stanford game. The old clot was at least a month old but could have happened as long as two years ago. “His collegiate days are over,” 1 Dr. Cline said. "Before we think' about professional ball, we have to get him on the road to recovery. He wasn't too worried about his operation. He took it real well. He had the same attitude las toward football.” MpKeever couldn’t play the second half of the Georgia game Oct. 7 because of what was thought to be a sinus condition. He was in the university infirmary most of the week and 1c t almost 20 pounds. The Stanford game was his first since then and he played almost 40 minutes, made seven unassisted tackles, i intercepted a pass and was the i Trojans’ outstanding defensive | player in a 21-6 victory.
