FDR WILL HOLD
LINE ON WAGES

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. (P) -
President Roosevelt indicated in
his budget message today he in
tended to continue to hold the wage
line against the pressure of organ
lied labor at least until the war
tempo slackens in Europe.
The President, who has before
him the urgent pleas of the CLIO
and AFL for immediate upward
revision of wage ceilings to keep
abreast of contended rises in liv-
ing costs, let 60 with the first pub
lie hint as to what his reply might
be.
Holding the line on prices and
wages has prevented, and is still
preventing inflationary develop
ments,' he said.
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested he
might ease the controls here AND
there to make emergency adjust
ments while holding to the overall
sterilization program so long as
war conditions demand it.

BY HAROLD CLAASSEN

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-(P)- The
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
cation has no specific interest in
the basketball controversies now
centering around Hamline, Min
nesota, Colby and Ohio universi-
ties because they are using pro-
fessional athletes, NCAA President
P. 0. Badger said today.
All have pro baseballers on their
court teams with Hamline and
its Howard (Stretch) Schultz, sum-
mer-time first-baseman for the
Brooklyn Dodgers, the most widely
known case.
'Our members make their own
eligibility rules and while I think
the schools in question have gone
a bit too far in the present cases,
they have not violated NCAA rules
because we have no rules" ex-
planned Badger
In keeping with that opinion New
York university, OF whose f7"'''4''
Badger is a member. has Ralph
Branca, pitcher with Brooklyn
last summer, on tine AL4lc.. ,...s
sea N. A year ago Branca was a
star of the NYU team and still has
a year of eligibility left.
Badger, who left today for Col
umbus, Ohio, and the associations
first full convention since Pearl
Harbor said the NCAA did have
eligibility rules for its basketball
tournaments and that they prohib-
tied use of pro athletes in such
playoffs.
Benny ECKER, a New York farm
hand last summer is member of
the Colby five while John Maldo-
van, who hurled for Newark of the
international league, shoots two
pointers for Ohio university. In ad-
dition to Schultz, Hamline also
has Rollie Seltz, Rochester infield-
er, On its roster while Minnesota
has Arnold Lehman and Bill
Hermsen, minor leaguers.
Hamline'S visit to New York dur
ing the Christmas holidays open
ed the controversy when city col
ance from the National Amateur
Athletic Union against possible
charges of professionalism before
starting their game in Madison
Square Garden.
Dan Ferris, secretary of the
AAU, gave CCNY permission but
ruled all other rivals of Hamlne
would be ineligible for future AAU
events. Westminster college and
Texas Christian subsequently, said
they would not play Hamline.
Joe Hutton, coach of Hamline,
said the rules of the Minnesota
conference permitted use of the

his players were eligible under the
