 ROUNDUP
BY HUGH FULLERTON (Ar SPORTS WRITER


 NEW YORK, June 12.-A tip from State College, Pa, said: Keep your eye on Barney Ewell in the A. A. U. track championships,' and Barney confirmed it last weekend by running 220 yards in world rec ord time. At Penn State, where he's a special student and training under his old coach, Chick Wern- CT, Ewell spotted a former team mate, Norm Gordon, ten yards in a hundred the other day and then ran the distance in 9.6 seconds to win a two-bit bet.
 When three British sports writers visited Joe Louis training camp the other day, enc of Joe's first questions was about the date of the British Open golf championship. Louis, still regrets that when his army tour took him to Glasgow, he couldn't get away to visit the royal and ancient St. Andrews.
 Tex Coulter, busted out of West Point, can he signed to play pro ball this season if he doesn't en- ter a college but would go into the draft next winter :. {. The fact that he wasn't on this years list proves that the National Leagues mathe- matics is better than Tex's.

7axi- Cab Firms Ask Police to Referee
 Rival COncerns Clashing Over Parking Privileges; Mutual Agreement
 Suggested as Best Arrangement

me dispute between rival taU companies over allotment of parking tDoce in Exchange Place was tossed into ths laps of the disputants yes tcrfay when attorneys for the Christie and Yellow Cab Companies appeared before the Board of Police Commisisoners.
 Attorneys EdWard Mascolo for the Christie concern, and Frank T. Hea1ey for the Yellow Cab Com- pany, were informed by Board mem- bers that the problem would be stu- died by the Traffic Committee and referred to the Board; but the Board pointed out that the problem would best be settled between the two concerns themselves.
 at present there are 22 taxis in operation here as specified by the Public Utilities Commission. Atty. Healey pointed out that 19 of the cabs are owned by the Yellow Cab Company and there are only five spaces allotted at the east end of the Green for parking cabs.
 Suggests Different Parking Atty. Mascolo, suggested to the Board that the cabs park perpen- dicular to the curb, therefore pro- viding space for at least two addi- &ional cabs. He also suggested that the cabs park on the North end of the green with 8 fair ratio of cabs from both companies allowed space.
 The two attorneys failed to agree as to the correct ratio of cabs to be parked on the east end of the Green. Atty. Mascolo said it was tln- fair that five Yellow cabs should park there and at the same time have an agreement with the rail- road depot and the Hotel Elton for service at these two places.
 If two of the five cab spaces were reserved for Christie Cabs" said Atty. Healey, 'it would not be m equitable proportion when there

NimitzAsks For Patience With UN

South Bend, Ind, May 16-(UP) Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, accepting an hororary degree from the University of Notre Dame, yes- terday urged Americans to be pa- tient with the United Nations "as it struggles to produce an organi- zation dedicated to the mainten. ance of peace"
 Nimitz responded to the presen- tation of doctor of laws degree in Notre Danes Navy Drill Hall, be- fore a capacity audience of. $500 persons.
 Peace will be only an interlude between wars unless all of us learn the art of living in a global com- munity," Nimitz said. Let us have patience with the United Nations, as it struggles with diverse speech and radically differing economic systems to produce an organization dedicated to the maintenance of peace-of peace by example and CO., operation if possible, of peace main- tained by police force if necessary"
 Nimitz said that education was "the greatest weapon the United States brought to bear in this war"
 Tt was the greatest" he said, because without it none other was possible. The boys and girls of the public and parochial schools, of the public and private high schools, col- leges and universities total not only in quantity but in proportion the greatest aggregate of initiative and mental power in the world.".
 The fleet admiral said that train ing to think was necessary to "the art of living.
 "The art of living is not a soli- tary pursuit." Nimitz said. Tt is a pursuit which must be followed gregariously, in company. It is a family affair, and a community af- fair, and thence 1t penetrates to world affairs"
 The degree was presented by the Rev. J. Hugh O'Donnell, csc, president of the University.

Hartford, May le-After seVen- month battle against infantile par- alyBis, much of which was spent in an "iron lnng," Wendell P. Freece, %, of 162h Bonner Street, a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent, died yesterday ct McCook Memorial Hospital here. Freeze came to Hartford from Yakima, Wash, about two years ago for spe- cial FBI work in this area.
 Hospital authorities said Freece's death was not expected. During the last few months his condition had shown gradual improvement and he was able to be out of the respirator for several hours . day. Stricken suddenly Wednesday hH failed to rally and died at 3 P. M. in the 'iron lung"
 MT. Freece was g years old when on October 10, 1046, he was stricken with poliomyelitis. The following day he was taken to the isolation ward of the hospital and there 1t was discovered that the disease was paralyxing his respiratory muscles. Through services of Hartford County Chapter, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, an "iron lung'' respirator was secured for him, as well as three nurses who cared for him 24 hours a day.
 The patients muscles became al- most totally paralysed. and when the initial onslaught of the disease had lessened, it was still impossible for him to be outside the flung" for even as much as two minutes.
 Gradually, however, Mir. Freeze gained in the struggle against polio- myelitis. By January 90, when he was interviewed during the Cour- ant-WTWC Mile O'Dimes campaign for funds to fight infantile paralys- is, he could remain without the res- pirator for an hour. Slowly this space of time was extended to two and later to four or more hours.
 MT. Treece leaves his wife, Mar garet Ghormley Freece and two daughters, Carolyn Jean Freece and Linda Margaret Freece, all of this city; his mother, Mrs. Jessie Mo Donald Freece of Yakima; Q brother Herbert Freece, Carson City, New. and a sister, Mss Elizabeth Freece, Spokane, Washington.
