Garden May Abandon
College Basketball
Because Of Fixes
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Madison
Square Garden is considering
dropping college basketball be-
cause of the fixed" games played
there.
This was disclosed today by Ned
Irish, the Gardens executive vice
president, who promoted basket
ball into the big time in New York.
The matter was taken up by the
Gardens board Of directors yes
terday, but no decision was
reached, Irish told reporters.
The next regular meeting Of
the Gardens Executive Commit
tee Is scheduled for March 13.
Irish's statement came shortly
after the College of the City of
New York followed Long Island
University in canceling its games
for at least the remainder Of the
season.
CCNY Captain Held.
CCNY acted after Floyd G.
Layne. 22-year-old CCNY CO.
captain, was arrested on a charge
of taking bribes. He was the 18th
college player to land in the police
net in the last five weeks in the
basketball scandal.
Layne was released in $1,000
bail at his arraignment today.
His hearing is scheduled for
March s.
Irish said the future Of college
basketball in the Garden de-
pended on "a lot of factors"
1T depends on future develop
ments, the attitude of public au-
thorities, the colleges and our
own conclusions" he said.
Programs Untouched.
Irish said professional basket
ball-untouched by the scandal
was not discussed at the directors
meeting. The Garden owns the
New York Knickerbockers of the
National Basketball Association.
Layne vowed last week to carry
on for his alma mater after three
of his teammates were arrested
for dumping" games.
District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan added an ironic twist last
night when he said that Layne
admitted sharing the fixes" OF
three games with his already
accused mates.
School Cancels Games.
Hogan's statement came as the
climax of a day of fast develop
ments in the basketball bribery
inquiry.
The district attorney indicated
his investigation is far from over.
Ten more detectives were brought
into the inquiry. and Hogan prom
ised to dig into the sordid sports
sellout just as far as necessary.
The IL players or former
players accused represent four
local schools. They are charged
with bribery in fixing total of Is
games over three seasons, includ-
ing the current one.
Two of the schools, CCNY and
Long Island University, now have
abandoned further basket ball
games this season.
Manhattan Studying Future.
Another of the schools, Man.
haitian College, said yesterday
that its officials are studying the
future of basket ball" there.
Two Manhattan College players
and three other persons were in
dicted February 2 on bribery
charges. Authorities said the two
players admitted fixing three
games last season.
Manhattan's last game this
season was to have been tomorrow
against CCNY.

The most concerned spectator
when Bob Hampton Of Maryland

Jimmy Pantos of the University
of Maryland, who shared the
previous record.
Hampton's 80 points topped by
two the figure established by Pan

much that people remember about
your high school play after you
leave. Hampton played a great
game"

With his team already hope
lessly beaten and time running
out, Hampton stepped up to the
foul line needing only one point
to break the mark. He was
awarded two free throws and
missed both. However, the lay
up in the final two minutes
put him over the hurdle.

The Federal Communications
Commission had under advise
ment today conflicting applica-
tions for operation of a radio sta
tion WBAL, Baltimore.
Applicants are Station WBAL,
now operated by Hearst Radio,
Inc, and Public Service Radio
Corp, Baltimore, which proposes
to build a new station and take
over the 1890 kilocycle wave length
used by WBAL.
Drew Pearson and Robert Allen,
newspaper columnists, each own
IS per cent OF the stock of Public
Service.
Yesterdays final arguments were
on the commissions proposed de-
cision last December 6. On a AZ
vote. the commission ruled
WBAL's application for renewal
should be allowed and that the
application of Public Service Radio
should be denied.
Case Pending Since '46.
There was no indication when
the commission will make its final
decision. The case has been pend
ing since 1916.
Marcus Cohn, attorney for Pub
lie Service, told the commission
WBAL had a past history of "un-
desirable programming" which
was not in public interest and that
there was no proof this would
not continue. He contended the
commission majority. in it's find
ings, had ignored this program
"unbalance."
A decision for WBAL, he said.
would encourage a repetition of
the type of programming which
has been guilty Of"
Mr.. Cohn also said practically
all Of WBAL's directors live in
other States and most of the Pub
lice Service stockholders live in
Baltimore.
William Dempsey. attorney for
said that on the basis of
the evidence presented at the
hearings the Pearson-Allen group
was not qualified technically,
financially, legally or otherwise,
TO handle the station.

Mr.. Dempsey contended Messrs.
Pearson and Allen had presented
different financial data from the
witness stand and that lone of
them was lying under OATH"

Mr.. Cohn retorted that some

Mr.. Dempsey had said that in

TAX 10 BE UppED
 ON CIGARETTES,
 AUTOS, GASOLINE

WASHINGTON, May 15 - tR = Tine House Ways and Means com- mittee voted today to slap higher Federal taxes on cigarettes, auto mobiles and gasoline.
 In tentative decisions reached at closed session, the tax-drafCing group called for the following in creases:
 Cigarettes, from seven cents a package to eight. The treasury had recommended a 10-cent rate.
 Gasoline, from 11a cents a gallon to two cents, the administration asked for a three-cent tax.
 Passenger automobiles and motor cycles, up from per cent at the manufacturers level to 10 per cent The treasury had sought 20 per cent.
 In the absence of official esti- mates, it appeared that by these and other proposed changes in the excise schedules the committee had picked up well over half billion dollars additional revenue today, running the prospective total of the bill above six billion dollars.

 Rogers platoon was ordered out of a rest area to go around a Chi nese-held hill to outflank the de- lending force.
 Once behind the main enemy contingent, the Cavalry platoon discovered several large groups of Chinese sitting around fires eating supper, completely unaware of the ambushing American force.
 Tn one great volley, Rogers and his compatriots opened fire on the enemy. Surprised and confused, the enemy soldiers were peppered with murderous Cavalry cross-fire.
 Overturning pots of cooked rice, the Chinese scurried for nearby ridgeline where their silhouettes were perfect targets for whining Cavalry bullets.
 Though the Communists counter ed with rifle fire, not a single Am erican soldier was wounded in the melee that badly flayed the Reds.
 American troops regained the vital ground and counted 75 enemy dead
