Welsh Leads Fight For Indiana Port 77' [ INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Gover--1 nor Welsh was busy today putting j the finishing touches on strategy for Indiana's fight for a deepwater port on Lake Michigan. Welsh will lead a delegation of governmental and civic leaders— Republicans and Democ r a t s marching shoulder to shoulder—to Washington next week for a hearing at which their battle will be waged. : 7 ' " . The fight will occur at a hearing of a Senate subcommittee on a bill by Sen. Paul Douglas, D-Hl., to establish a national park in the sand dunes where Indiana wants to build a multi-million dollar port. Welsh said in a statement issued today that if the Douglas bill passes, it “would effectively throttle economic development of ■ a part of Northwestern Indiana.’’ He called the movement for a national park an “unwarranted attempt to stifle Indiana’s growth and development.” “The basic issue at stake is whether Indiana has the right to build its own economy and seek on its own to obtain more jobs for its people and more business for its commercial firms,” Welsh said. “The prospect of competition from a port of Indiana has spurred Chicago interests, led by Douglas, to seek federal means to block for all time Indiana’s direct 1 water access to the Great Lakes and foreign markets.” “Although th attack on Indiana’s interests is expressed as a concern for conservation, the fact is,” Welsh said, “that the State of Indiana has officially pledged complete protection of these interests. The Conservation Department has determined these natural treasures would not be infringed upon.” Welsh said his administration, i present and past governmental leaders of both political parties, and other civic, business and labor leaders will “help in this ; protest.” — ■ Trade in a good town — Decatur

NCAA, NIT Line Up Teams For Tournaments By TIM MORIARTY United Press International That expected battle between officials of the NCAA basketball tournamept and the National Invitation Tournament in corraling independent teams was no contest. The NCAA, in slightly more than 24 hours, lined up eight of the nine so-called “at large” members they needed for their annual jamboree, which gets underway with regional playoffs March 12. The other 16 berths in the 25-team field will be filled by conference champions. When the embargo on the signing of independent teams was lifted Monday, the NCAA landed Villanova, Oregon State, Creighton and Detroit while the NIT sponsors received acceptances from defending champion Providence, Loyola of Chicago, Duquesne and Houston. NCAA Signs Four The NCAA bounced back Tuesday with four additional independents—Seattle, New York University. Butler and the Air Force Academy. This may have caught the NIT gang by surprise but they recovered in time to sign up St. John’s of New York, one of the East’s best teams, Tuesday night. The NIT customarily reserves two of its berths for the runnerup teams in the Missouri Valley and the Skyline conferences, so they presumably have only five spots to fill for their show opening at Madison Square Garden March 15. Texas Tech and Southern Methodist remained tied for first place in the Southwest Conference race Tuesday night when Tech whipped Texas Christian, 74-66, and the Mustangs d owned Texas, 69-64. Texas A&M lost its share of the lead by bowing to Rice, 63-62. Houston celebrated its acceptance of an NIT bid by whipping Tulsa, 98-71. Donnie Schverak scored 22 points for the Cougars, who have lost only 5 of 24 games. Gary Havelon paced Tulsa with 25. West Virginia Wins Gale Catlett’s 20 points paced) West Virginia to a 79-60 victory over Penn State and gave the j Mountaineers their seventh conse-; cutive 20-win season. Rod Thorn added 17 for West Virginia, which now boasts a 20-5 record. Mickey Checkan scored 28 points and Jon Feldman chipped in with 27 in sparking George Washington to a 92-84 triumph over William and Mary while Davidson turned back Richmond, 72-62, in a pair of Southern Conference games. Elsewhere. Tennessee State ripped St. Francis (Pa.), 93-70: Georgia Tech romped to a 67-50 victory over Tennessee; Canisius turned back Syracuse, 66-61; South Carolina downed Clemson, 87-81; Arkansas edged Baylor, 76-75, and North Texas State rallied to defeat Abilene Christian, Farm Bureau Award To Pleasant Dale The Pleasant Dale Church of the Brethren received the fourth district Farm Bureau award for rural church improvement Tuesday at a state meeting of Farm Bureau ladies in Indianapolis, the Rev, John Mishler said today.

Maris Refuses To Budge On Salary Demand By FRED DOWN United Press International the New York Yankees are heading for an old-fashioned salary battle. The 61-homer-a-year man and Yankee General Manager Roy Harney met for the fourth time Tuesday and the official report from Harney was: “No appreciable progress.” Insiders believe this means that Maris refuses to budge from his asking price of $75,000 and that the Yankees are holding firm at about $67,000. Harney is believed to have tried “to split the difference” Tuesday— because it is fairly well established that the Yankees’ original offer was $60,000. Harney said that he planned one more meeting with Maris before Feb. 28 — the date on which any unsigned Yankee will officially be classified as a holdout. Prolonged Holdout Possible The possibility of a prolonged holdout arises because Maris and Hamey are split on a basic issue: The Yankees think their stars should- be raised gradually and compensated in the closing days of their career by slight cuts while Maris believes the time to be rewarded is right now. The Yankees point out that it has taken Mickey Mantle 10 years to rise to $85,000 but Maris points out that he has won the American League’s Most Valuable Player award the only two years he has been with the club. The Yankees did have some good news at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Tuesday when relief ace Luis Arroyo arrived. Luis, who had a 15-5 record in 1961, said he is in “top shape” and expects another fine season. The possibility of a major trade developed when General Manager Paul Richards of the Houston Colt 45’s and General Manager John Holland of the Chicago Cubs conferred at Mesa, Ariz. “I can’t say what positions are involved.” said Richards. “But we hope to make a swap with one or another of the two clubs.” Giants Seek McCovey It Is believed that the Giants might part with first-baseman Willie McCovey, a rookie-of-the-year hero in 1959, in order to obtain 36-year-old pitching st ylist Bobby Shantz from Houston.

Prep Tourneys Gef Underway Over Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana's 52nd annual high school basketball tourney blasts off oh a four-week orbit today, with defending champion Kokomo the team to beat and at least half a dozen other powerhouses poised to challenge for the crown. Only half a dozen outfits have registered two-in-a-row titles in Hoosierland’s No. 1 athletic extravaganza, but Kokomo, which waited 51 years before hitting the jackpot, was in a good spot to repeat. The North Central Conference champs, 19-1 for the season, were idle until Thursday. Meanwhile, 17 defending champions risked their titles today as sectional warfare opened at 39 of the 64 sectional centers. By tonight, the starting field of 660, smallest since 1923. will be down to 553. In all, 107 games were on today's schedule —9 in the afternoon and 98 tonight. 14* Games Thursday Thursday’s program called for 149 games, Friday’s for 148, and there will be the usual 192 on Saturday—the only day all sectional centers will be in action. East Chicago Washington, %tate champ in 1960, and two-time winner Evansville Bosse, the Southern Conference king, will be the first ranking quintets in action tonight. East Chicago’s Senators, No. 2 in the state and 19-1 for the season, play the Dyer-Hammond Noll winner. Bosse. No. 8 and 16-2, opens against North Posey. Both are defending sectional champs. Other first-round winners from last year in action today included Alexandria at Anderson, Bedford, Chesterton, Brazil at Clay City, Attica at Covington, Jasper at Huntingburg, Indianapolis Attucks, Monterey at Knox, Ellettsville at Martinsville, Michigan City, Muncie Central, Lewisville at New Castle. Bremen at Plymouth, Dunkirk at Portland and Monroe City | at Vincennes. Cinch For Finals Kokomo, by virtue of its classy record which made it the No. 1 team in the state and relatively easy route, was considered virtually a cinch to gain the four-' team finals at Butler Fieldhouse here March 17. But other season-long front-run-: ners and a bushel basket full of | darkhorses might have other i ideas. The glittering field included three unbeatens—2l-game winners . North Caston of Fulton County! and Tunnelton of Lawrence Coun-' ty, and 18-game victor Madison, which rolled up an unprecedented | third consecutive perfect season. All three were idle today, but Ellettsville, another small - town hopeful, hit the tourney trail at Martinsville. Ellettsville, 24-1 and the Wabash Valley champion, clashes with the host Artesians tonight. Other evening features include Michigan City vs LaPorte and Muncie Central vs Yorktown. Muncie’s four-time state titlists were considered championship material before a hazing scandal rocked the Bearcats and starters Bill Dinwiddie and Brian Settles were removed from the team. 6 Lost Only Once Several other small-town hopefuls checked in with sparkling records. Mentone, Castle, Pinnell,

Shawswick, Ireland, Sandcreek, and Bainbridge also suffered only one defeat during the regular seasen. Many others likewise chalked up impressive records that should carry them at least to sectional tourney honors. Next week’s regionals are considerably tougher and two small schools, Berne and New Ross, reached the “Sweet 16” last year.
