ProseIYting

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 10.
Declaring once again there would
be no compromise with profession.
alism in athletics at Harvard Uni
versity, Director Of Athletics Will
liam j. Bingham today charged
some college presidents either dc
not know or do not want to know
that "subsidizing and proselyting'
of athletes are going on in their
colleges. Organized alumni are
more responsible for it than the
coaches, he said.
The charge was made by Bing'
ham in his annual report to Presi.
dent James Bryant Conant.
Bingham declared there was
more shopping around" by ath
leteS today than ever before, add
ing that he feared the Carnegie
Foundation would receive a rude
shock" If it made another investi
cation of college athletics, as II
did seven years ago.
"In the past the professional
coach has received most of the
blame, but l think an investiga-
tiOn today would reveal that in
m my institutions subsidizing
and prOselyting are fOstered
more by organized alumni than
by coaches" Bingham said.
'If college athletic coaches
were allowed to develop teams
from the boys who would nor.
mally 60 to their institutions,
college athletics would be much
better off today than they are,
with alumni of one institution
trying to Outbid the alumni Of
rival COLLEGES"

Is Found as Wife
Takes Same Truir,

Luck rode with Mrs. Steve Apergis
when she boarded 4 train for Cleve-
land in search Of her husband,
legless World War veteran, who left
their home at 1912 K street Sunday
with $1,000 in cash and without say
ing good-by
She met her husband riding the
same train at Harrisburg. Pa, and
they continued the journey to Cleve-
land together. she informed local
police, whom she had enlisted in the
search.
When Mrs Apergis returned from
church Sunday to find her husband
gone with the family cash, she feared
he had been duped IN his hopeless
quest for cure to the strange malady
that has cost him his legs and pos
sibly had met with foul play.
Police discovered, however, that he
rode alone in a taxicab to Union Sta
ton. There porter recalled that a
man answering Apergis' description
had boarded train for Cleveland
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Apergis
started for the Ohio city Sunday
night in the hope she might flnd her
husband among old friends there.
Then luck stepped in. Apergis
stopped of in Baltimore a few hours
and 1t so happened that the couple
rode on the same train from Balti-
more to Harrisburg. Their presence
was unknown to each other until they
met by chance at Harrisburg.

duty to steer the bill through the
House rather than Kennedy.
Palmbano had not sat with the
| subcommittee during the long and te-
dious hours it struggled with the tax
program. He did not know its multi
farious details and was not in a posi-
ton to explain them intelligently to
a House that undoubtedly would ask
, many questions. Members of the sub
committee, however, failed to make
an impression on Palmisano with that
argument. The result Of the subcom-
mittee's strategy, OF course, speaks for
itself. The procedure was something
like this:
When Palmisano was recognized BY
Speaker Bankhead to call up the tax
bill, Representative Dies, Democrat,
, Of Texas asked unanimous consent to
speak two minutes out Of order. There
was no objection, not even from Pal
| misano.
Gets in Attack on Bill.
And what does Dies do? He used
those two minutes to make a scathing
denunciation Of the tax program and
to point out it proposed to tax the
income of members of Congress as well
as their constituents who work in
Washington.
When Dies finished, Representative
Smith, Democrat, OF Virginia asked for
the same privilege. There was no
objection to hts request Smith fol-
lowed the same tactics by condemning
the income tax proposal in 50 far as it
concerned taxing salaries OF non
residents.
BY that time the opponents had laid
the foundation for the action that
followed. Palmisano's motion for the
House to begin consideration OF the tax
bill was voted down amid 4 din OF
applause and cheers.
Representative Nichols jumped to
his feet
II had no idea the House mkunder-
stood this legislation" he shouted. IT
had, would have attempted to ex-
plain it,
Nichols was too late, however. The
tax subcommittee had been outwitted
and the tax bill remains to plague the
House at some future date
