SANTA BARBARA, Calf, Mar.
I21. - Argentina's outstanding
hurdler, Alberto Triulzi, replied
today TO an attack launched
against him by the government
press in Buenos Aires because he
did not compete in the Pan
American games.
The newspaper Noticias Graficas
accused Triulzi of lying when he
reported he could not compete for
Argentina because of a foot injury
and the newspaper La Epoca said
he should be punished for his
conduct. La Epoca limited that
there Is suspicion he may have
been influenced by some one inter-
iested in seeing that Argentina did
not win the 110-meter hurdles.
The race was won by Dick
Attlesey of the United States.
The circumstances have height
ened interest in the 18th annual
Santa Barbara Relays Saturday
because Triulzi and Attlesey are
entered in the 120-yard high
hurdles.
Il didn't compete in the Pan
American Games in Buenos Aires
because one foot was In bad con-
dition, due to injury" Triulzi said
today. II had the strongest desire
to participate in these games for
my country but this was impossi-
BILE because of my physical condi-
ton at the time.

State Senator Seeks
To Halt Opening of

By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Mar. 81.
Senator Phoebus, Repub-
lican, of Somerset County has
drafted a resolution designed
to prevent the Laurel race
track from opening on Good
Friday.
The resolution, scheduled to
be placed before the Senate
today. calls on the State Rae
ing Commission to prevent
the opening. The State Sen
ator commented that the
commission is so infused
with gambling it did not know
when Good Friday occurred"
H. Courtenay Jenifer, chair
man of the racing commits
sion, previously had acknowl-
edged that Laurel should not
open on Good Friday. He
said the setting of that date
was inadvertent. but that it
was too late to change.

Paul Richards, an old hand at

Richards, credited with turn

Owners Conci|iatory

BY The Associated Press

Baseball's front Office executives
generally adopted a conciliatory
attitude today toward the idea
that the players. as well as the
owners. be given a vote in naming
a successor to Happy Chandler as
commissioner.
Will Harridge. president Of the
American League, assured the
players their interests will be pro-

pension fund and revised player
contracts in operation and will
continue to carry them out" Har-
ridge added.

Freddie Hutchinson, Detroit
pitcher and player Representative
for the American League, preached
the player-vote-for- commissioner
idea Monday. He said a petition
will be presented to the owners
at meeting in Detroit in July.
If the owners reject the petit
ton. the players may hire a COM
missioner of their own, Hutchin-
son said, perhaps the deposed
Chandler himself at $4,000 a
year.

In addition to AL Evans, acquired
last winter from Washington,
Boston has Mike Guerra, Matt

Bucky would be happy to have

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By LEW E. HANKS

There's one thing about our weather here. Every year it is different. Last fall there was no rain at all. This year we wonder if it is ever going to stop raining. From talking to farmers I find that potato yields this year are surprisingly good, considering the dry spring we had. l think a lot of this is due to the better farm ing methods we are using each year. I've seen a number of green manure crops worked under this year
 Our soil really needs humus. Humus, you might say, is the catalyst that makes your fertilizer work more efficiently. It also keeps your fertilizer from wash ing away in the fall and spring rains. The best thing of all, tho, has been that every one of these farmers started a second cover crop for winter protection as soon as they worked the first green manure crop into the soil. That is really getting on the beam.
 Two farmers seeded a cover crop of grain. The others secured a volunteer cover crop by work ing the green manure crop in trashy manner. They only disced or plowed under about two-thirds of the first crop. A lot of it start ed growing again and now they have a winter cover crop at no extra expense.
 Those cover crops will really pay off in protection when the winter winds start bowling. I wish that time was farther away. I'm not ready for winter yet.

The yields from these plots ranged from two to IT tons per acre, in- dicating very good potato year for that part of the country, ac- cording to Mick. He reported that commercial growers are expect ing above-average yields of four to eight tons.

Juneau-New ceiling prices on Alaska red salmon were announc- ed by the Office of Price Stabili- ration today following a meeting of cannery operators and OPS of- ficials in Seattle last week.
 Increases for the reds amount to approximately 10 per cent over the prices set forth in Ceiling Price Regulation 65, issued Au- gust 8. OPS said the increase was granted to allow for anticipated losses resulting from a very small pack during the current season. The reds will account for about IS per cent of the total pack in Alaska this year.
 New ceiling prices for Alaska reds are:
 One-pound tall-$32 per case; the previous ceiling was $29.
