PHILADELPHIA, April 26.-Feiled
by a matter of inches in their at
tempt to sweep the opening day
card, University of Illinois swift
runners today face the difficult task
of winning three events if they are
to reWrite the history books of the
53-year-old Penn Relays.
Only Pittsburgh and Michigan
ever won as many as four of the
team events in the two-day track
and field carnival and up until late
yesterday the Illini appeared almost
sure bet to establish new record
with at least FIVE victories.
But things don't look quite SO
bright today with the Western Com
ference fliers entered in the half
mile, mile and 2-mile relays and
needing victories in all three to ac-
complish the feat. The Illini are
not entered in the 4-mile race.
Through the quarter mile and
distance medleys yesterday, the
chart ran true to form as Herbert
McKsnley, fleet Jamaican, anchored
the MidWestern four to victory in
the quarter and turned in a 47.8
cloeking for the lead-of 440 yards
in the distance medley.
The holder or the NCAA quarter
mile title and assorted other cham
pionships also did right well for his
teammates in the sprint medley as
be handed Bob Rehberg what ap-
peared to be SAFE lead for the half
mile anchor leg. But Rehberg was
unable to stall oil the stretch drive
of New York Uniyersitys Reggie
Pearman as the Violet runner cov-
cred the distance in l:51,5.
The New Workers were clocked in
3:26.4, with Pearman's time the sec
ond fastest ever recorded at this
meet, surpassed only by long John
Woodruff's l:5l,2 in 1889 when Pitt
won in 1888.
MeKenley was slated to do yeo-
man duty again today, appearing in
the halt and mile relays. The Illini
will have to do without him in the
2-mile, as $50 yards is a little too
far for the lanky speedster.
In addition to spelling Illinois
sweep yesterday, New York Uni-
versity carried off the individual
honors with Bernie Mayer taking
both the shetput and discus. Jeff
rey Kirk of Pennsylvania carried
off the heners in the 400-meter,
with a new relay clock of 531 sec
onds; Curtis Stone romped off with
the 2-mile run and Sherwood Fin
ley took the 12-yard high hurdles.

 HIGH SCHOOL
 Last Friday the ten freshmen were mltlated Into the NOme f1lSl School Student Body by the upper clasSmen.
 The girls came to school Friday morning charmingly dressed as babies in hip boots, hair in curriers' and bottles with nipples; while the boys paraded with questionable dignity in burlap skirts, floppy hats, and high heeled slippers.
 The initiation climaxed with a party in the evening at which the freshmen were duly punished for any insubordination. They are proud to be welcomed into the Student Body.

 ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton. Jr.)

dIlkeeS are III anu lile DOuSCiS are close to clinching the pennant, baseball experts are beginning to point out that the "old" Cardinal machine which won four pennants in the past five years is beginning to come apart at the seams. . . '. Perhaps a few stitches are pop ping, but if the Cards are old, how do you account for the Yan- keeS' easy triumph? Leaving out Joe Garagiola and the late arriving Nippy Jones, the Cards regular lineup averages something under 30 years in age. The Yam kees regulars, when Yogi Berra isn't in there, average around 3l. .. To get an average age on the Brooklyn team probably would require the services of Branch Rickey's private statistician. They have some old guys like Dixie Walker, Hugh Casey and Eddie Stanky and an apparently mex haustible supply of good young players to put in when they're needed.
 Joe H. Palmer, New York Her ald-Tribue: Kentucky produces early half the race horses and ex- actly half the high commissioners of baseball. A baseball high commissioner can make only $50,- 900 a year while good horse can make $20O,000. This seems to prove that horse is four times as good as a high commissioner. Ii is, Joe, unless you hold a win ming ticket on a commissioner.
 Sol Strauss, whose one-way hearing aid Git admits only what Sol wants to heaD and self-revers- ing contracts are becoming almost as famous as Mike Jacobs china choppers, was almost gleeful when he was able to announce title fight between Joe Louis and Jer- sey Joe Walcott. . Sol, known generally either as Mikes stand-in or Mikes brother-in-law and for mally as acting director of the 20th Century Sporting club. evi- dently had been feeling the criti- cism levelled at the fights that have emptied the Garden this summer. A heavyweight title fight certainly will fill the arena and at least Louis-Walcott is better than that affair they're planning in Los Angeles between Arturo Godoy and Turkey Thomp- son. I'm very proud of this" Strauss chuckled. "It took lot of work. . And what's more, in an other week or so I'll announce a lightweight title bout for January and after that another champion ship. That's three title fights" l" Mike might not get three at a clip, but at least he would have staged the Louis signing like a Hollywood super-collossal.

the proposed plan of shifting classes

Civic Group Critical
OF Reported Plan 10
Remove Students

The Federation of Civic Associa-
tions last night strenuously criticized
q reported move by the Board Of
Education to evacuate white school
students from the Blow Elementary
School to accommodate the overflow
from Browne Junior High School.
Admitting that its information on
the School Board action was still
unoficial, the federation voted over
whelmingly to protest the action i'm
mediately as another attempt to
shunt of "delapidated" structures
on colored students.
(Top school officials could not
be reached for comment today
but G. Melvin Sharpe, member
of the Board of Education's
Buildings, Grounds and Equip
ment Committee, said he had
heard nothing about such a move.
It Is possible that such a move
is being considered by the school
administrative officers, he said,
but such a proposal has not
reached the Board Of Education.)
Newell Criticized.
The Federation also condemned
Clifford Newell, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
for his stand in favor of covenants
and pledged the organization to
fight such covenants.
"Mr. Newell has publicly insulted
the Negro people calling us
'pawns' to a sinister plot and he has
indicated that the only good Negro
is one who does not struggle against
suppression" the resolution said.
Restrictive covenants tend to force
the Negro people into ghettoes and
encroach on their right to improve
housing, the resolution said.
Another federation resolution sug-
gested to the District Commissioners
that jitney buses be considered for
Washington If a 15-cent streetcar
fare is permitted here.

or course. occasionally a license is revoked LOT some
major offense such as narcotic addiction or performing
an abortion. From the ranks OF the medical PROBES
sion itself have come suggestions that there be a per
iodic review of a physicians ability to practice ana
that physicians be encouraged 70 take postgraduate
training.
4 further obstacle in the way of a patient III making
a wise choice OF physician is in the state licensure laws
which permit osteopaths. chircpractors and naturo-
mathis to practice. In the struggle to achieve better
health for all Americans by the widest application OF
scientific medical care. there is no place for such cut
fists.
When it comes to specialist services. for those VINO
can afford them. the patient is on firmer ground since
the medical profession has set up specially boards.
These may practice as specialists III certain flelds.

meaningful for the patient when his freedom includes
ability TO nav for a doctor of his choice. when his
choice is / between doctors of equal and high proficiency,
and when medical practice is ORGANIZED on a group

Far from destroying the patients freedom OF choice

would increase it.

THE NEED is GREAT

One of the most encouraging developments within
tho labor movement today, is the growing tendency OF
unions to work together. There seems to be a sincere
and increasing realization that no single branch of the
labor movement is sufficient unto itself, and. that little
is accomplished by those VINO adhere to such a policy.
Whether the efficient and almost complete organi-
cation OF employer associations in practically every
phase OF industry is responsible for this development,
or. the continuing drive for restrictive and unnecessary
labor legislation: it is not important. The important
thing is. that the labor movement now realizes the urg-
ent necessity of replacing its spasmodic brand Of unity
with permanent and effective corporations.
During the past few months, definite progress has
been made by the nations great labor organizations in
developing this spirit of cooperation which should
prove a fitting example for the entire labor movement
to follow. There is still room for Improvement, however,
for as long as there are unions that waste their strength
and resources either in fractional strife within their own
organizations or in jurisdictional disputes with a sister
union. there is a task to be done.
We need to understand that regardless OF its nature.
any activity that creates turmoil and discord in or be-
tween unions, does endless harm to the entire labor
movement. 1t cannot with justice, accomplish anything
worthwhile for the contending parties. Unfortunately.
VIC cannot expect to end overnight. all Of the friction
that exists within the labor movement. Nor are we
so naive as to believe that it can be completely prevent
ed in the future. But we do believe that the cause and
ment our good intentions with an equal amount Of per
Torrance.
The need is great. therefore, for a closing Of the
ranks within the labor movement for the good of our
common cause. 1t is the first and most essential con-
dition that must be attained if we expect to survive as
the militant and progressive champion of the nations
working men and women.

CHOOSING A PHYSICIAN

In the propaganda against legislation Tor NATIONWIDE
prepajd health insurance. organized medicine has used
the argument that the patients freedom OF choice OF
physician would be destroyed. We wonder if the
American Medical Association has ever seriously con-
sidered the meaning of freedom OF choice OF physician
for the individual patient under our present system of
medical care.
To many who cannot afford to pay for a private
physician this freedom of choice is an empty privilege.
The working man in need of medical care or the UNI
employed worker unable to afford the services of a
family doctor in these days of sky-high meat prices and
socalled voluntary rent increases. is forced to attend
the out patient clinic of a city hospital. Here he has
very little to say about the choice OF his physician.
Does the financially-pressed worker or the sick I'M
employed worker insist on preserving this freedom OF
choice Of physician which is possible only under our
present system Of medical care according to the ANA?
Or would he prefer TO have a system of prepaid health
insurance so that he could be assured of payment for
his doctor bils9
To those more fortunate who, on the other hand,
can afford a private physicians services this freedom
OF choice is not as helpful to the patient as the NJ
would have us believe. The millions of people living in
rural areas where there is an acute shortage of phys
icians are often able to choose the only physician living
in their community or none at all.
Moreover. freedom of the patient TO choose his phys
ician in itself does not guarantee that the patient will
choose wisely. Since the average patient is not in a po-
sition to judge what is high quality medical care-that
is a hard job even for experts-he chooses his physician
for reasons other than those assuring the receipt Of
good medical care.
Often the selection is made solely on the basis of
the convenient location Of the doctors office. Perhaps
as often a doctor is chosen on the basis of a friends
wellmeaning but uniformed advice. The model of the
doctors automobile may be the reason, because some
people mistake prosperity for competence.
The patients dilemma in choosing a physician may
be partly accounted for by the assumption that has been
made by state licensing boards that all physicians Ii
