ITS Just another indication Of
the need for a committee like
this" said DR.. John A. Hannah,
president Of Michigan State and
head of a special committee set up
by the American Council on Edu-
cation to look into sports.
That was the only comment
on the judges blast from the COM
.mittee of seven college presidents.
but before the jurist made his
statement, Dr.. Hannah told re-
,porters:
I'VE realize we must be respon-
sible for the total operation Of
the university. We have a real
concern in the protection Of the
integrity of higher education.
1--WE start with the assumption
that there is much good in COL
lege sports We want to preserve
what's good and take the evil out"
Tennessee's rebuttal came from
President C. E. Brehm. who said
in statement:
1--WE don't think the athletic
department has overemphasized
athletic activities to the detri-
ment of our academic program.
We are maintaining high aca-
demic standards and the boys who
play on the football team have
to conform to those standards II
they continue in schools"

Presidents Will Delay
College Sports Report
After Studying Evils

College presidents. who admit
they have paid too little attention
to the NCAA's policing of ath-
letics, were to conclude a o-day
study of the evils of college ath-
letics here today.
The group. officially the Ameri-
can Council on Education's Spe-
cial Committee on Athletic Policy,
heard three executive sports
writer's and commissioners Of the
Western and Eastern Intercollegi-
ate Conferences yesterday in two
sessions, and today they were to
sift the views of their guests and
make plans for a future session.
DR.. John A. Hannah, committee
chairman and president of Michi-
gan State College, said as the
spokesman for the group that one
of the big problems of his COM
mittee will be enforcement of
whatever reforms are to be made.
He said his group would take
two weeks or maybe months be-
fore making a recommendation,
but that the result would not be
a report Of high-sounding terms,
but one that calls for action. 1t
will not be a whitewash. he added.
All Angles Are Discussed.
Gambling, recruiting. subeidi-
cation, alumni activities, post
season games and the tenure of
coaches were among the angles
discussed yesterday. Personally,
DR.. Hannah is opposed TO post
season games.
DR.. Hanah remembered when a
number Of presidents would at
tend the annual NCAA meetings.
and he usually was one of them
But in recent years the number
dropped until there were only two
or three in attendance, and then
he stopped going.
Finally only athletic directors
and coaches and faculty advisors
were there" Dr.. Hannah stated.
Asking athletic directors and
coaches to eliminate evils of col
Ilege athletics is like asking them
to cut off their heads
1T is up to the college presi-
dents to protect the integrity of
higher education. the Michigan
State president told press con-
ference, if the American people
Iare to have confidence in their
educational system.
Sports Writers Speak.
This is the first time a repre-
sentative group of this type has
been charged with this RESPONSE
bility, DR.. Hannah said. Last
weeks meeting of the land grant
colleges in Houston gave unani-
nous consent for the investigation.
One point that DR.. Hannah
stressed was that alumni pressure
is exaggerated in college athletics.
1T is my personal observation
that the alumni will go along with
the faculty. Those vehemently in
terested in athletics usually ale a
small but very vocal group"
His group first wants to identify
the problem, find the solutions,
then consider a plan to make the
solutions effective.

eight college presidents were Hugh

Around the world his arrest at
his hospital in Namkham on
August 20 had shocked thousands
of admirers of the famed surgeon,
who was decorated by King George
VI and the United States Gov
ernment for his heroism during
Gen. Joseph Stilwell's jungle re-
treat from Burma in 1912.
DR.. Seagrave, who had spent
more than Is years giving medical
aid to the Burmese people, was
found guilty of aiding rebel
Kachin tribesmen when their
forces in 1949 captured Nam
khan, near the Chinese-Burmese
frontier.
The court ruled that he aided
them by giving them surgical
instruments and medical supplies
and through a letter to a nurse
allegedly threatening her unless
she kept silent about rebel ac-
tivities in the hospital area.

Brought to Rangoon's central
Jail after his arrest, the doctor
spent six weeks suffering inter-
miItent dysentery attacks before
his defense counsel obtained his
release to a private residence.
His attorney, former Burmese
Supreme Court Judge Kyaw Myint,
said he lost Is pounds in prison.
His trial opened October IL, with
the State bringing charges carry
ing maximum penalties or death
or banishment. A month later the
charges were reduced to counts
carrying the penalties, If convicted,

Government witnesses testified
that Seagrave entertained, and

that, in effect, he was trying to

Yogurt May Not Make You Live
Lonqer, but It'll Seem Longer

| because heard it was delicious
salad dressing. It's still yogurt.
Finally. I poured blackstrap mo-
lasses in it and the most I can
say for that concoction is that it's
a fast way of dispensing with the
both of them in a minimum
amount of time. Just don't ex-
pect any thunderous applause
from your taste buds.
Choice of Weapons.
Some people, I've learned, have
more trouble with the blackstrap
than with the yogurt, but it's just
a matter of choosing your weap-
ons. I will say that blackstrap
straight-by the raw spoonful
has a tendency to unite your
tongue and the roof of your mouth
in what seems. for a few dreadful
seconds. like a permanent condi-
ton.
The next morning I dumped a
heaping glob of yogurt into my
orange juice and, if you've never
tried it, here's a tip-that's not
the answer, I don't care what
you're used to eating.
It might be all right on toast.
I wouldn't know. When I bought
the things already mentioned, I
was talked into kind of bread

soy oleomargarine which became
mine in a like manner-seems to
improve it.

French dressing that is so with

me everytime I tilt the bottle to
see something come out.
I've even got meat with no meat
in it. It seems that they've given
up making telephone poles out of
soybeans and have concentrated
on beef. It's not bad at all if you
like art gum. Included, at no extra
charge, is a gravy with no gravy
in it.
I have the makings of broth
which gives me only seven calories

offer another reason for the elm
ination of soybeans as an indis-
pensable crop.

Gov. James F. Byrnes can speak
for the Southland many South
erners say that he does-there is
practically no isolationism left in
this part of the United States.
He took a very strong line yes
terday in the speech that followed
his Inauguration as Governor OF
South Carolina.
He went all-out for military aid
to Western Europe. including the
use of American troops. And he
said bluntly that if the U. N. does
not authorize the bombing OF Red
China then the American divisions
(Which constitute the bulk OF the
u. N. forces should be withdrawn
from Korea.
An unusually large audience
cheered both points when Gov
Byrnes expressed them. His
speech was much more than a
sectional address, made on the
occasion of sectional ceremony
Latest Voice in Debate.
It was, in fact, the latest voice
in the great debate on American
foreign and military policy. It
contained words that appeared to
be direct answers to statements OF
President Herbert Hoover, Sen
ator Taft, Republican. of Ohio
ard former Ambassador Joseph
Kennedy.
Mr.. Kennedy. for example, as
serted that Britain is weaker, mill
tarily, now than she was in 1916
Mr.. Hoover contrasted the number
of divisions Western Europe put in
the field in the last two wars with
the strength the same nations can
display now.
Gov. Byrrnes said: "It is said
that Western European govern
ments have not raised armies for
their own defense. In view Of our
record, we should not complain.
In 1948, after Czechoslovakia had
fallen, made speech urging that
it was so clear the Soviets planned
domination of the world we should
cease all non-defense expenditures
and Immediately draft men to in
crease our military forces. Many
others made similar pleas. Little
was DONE"
Doubts have been expressed
about the attitude Of the Western
Germans.
Matter Of Self Defense.
Gov. Byrnes said: More than q
million Of the German prisoners
taken to Russia have never been
returned. They constitute q mil
lion reasons why the people Of
Western Germany. If treated
fairly, will fight for us. And they
know how to fight"
On the matter of the later de-
bate, concerning the dispatch OF
American troops to Europe, Gov.
Byrnes said:
'The argument that additional
troops should not be sent to Eu-
rope cannot be ignored. It cannot
be answered by the statement that
we must comply with our obliga-
tions. The Atlantic treaty and
the U. N. do not require us to act
except in case Of aggression.
But there is requirement
more urgent than these-the re-
quirement Of self-defense."
In effect, he said the hour is
much too late for such debates.
Responsible leaders can and
should be assisted by construc-
tive discussion Of our foreign pol
icies but that discussion should
be dispassionate and dignif1ed. not
demagogic and destructive" he
declared.
Last Gasp of Isolationism.

for the South, with it's great mill
tary tradition and its unusually
marked contribution to American
arms, this was the most impor-
tant statement in his speech:
