GREENSBORO. N. c.. May 8.
The Southern Conference went
behind closed doors today to dis
cuss what one representative
said was the, dissolution Of
the 17-member college athletic
league stretching from West Vir-
ginia to South Carolina.
Just as the conference opened
its spring meeting. attended by
college presidents and athletic
officials, Max Harrington of
George Washington University,
conference president, announced
that the Executive Committee
had authorized him to bar news
men from the session.
One representative, declining
to be quoted by name, told news
men that the purpose of the
session was to discuss the method
of breaking up the conference.
Bowl Issue ON Agenda.
The conferences agenda listed
such items as the possible lift

Willie Already Hos $50 in '53
Five Straight Winners Fail
ToMdke Shoemaker laxative
By the Associated Pres.

SAN BRUNO, Calf, May g.
Wee Willie Shoemaker, the o.
year-old racing whiz, rode five
consecutive winners at Tanforan
yesterday, but didn't say two
consecutive words about it.
His agent. Harry Silbert, said
he gave Willie a lift home.
Mice day." commented Silbert.
Il felt good" replied Willie.
Get your car greased?"
YEAH" said Silbert.
End of conversation.
"He never talks about it," Sill
bert said. -Four winners or sew
en-, its all the same for him. He's
a real champion"
Won't Have Telephone.
Silbert said he dropped Silent
Shoe" at his trailer home, where
the privacy-loving Willie won't
even allow a telephone.
And he hadn't even asked me
who he was to ride tomorrow!
"Willie's felt good ever since
he got back from Churchill
Downs"
Shoemaker rode Invigorator in
the Kentucky Derby and finished
third.
Willie should have been feeling
good. In the first four days of
racing this week, he won 13 races,
including the five yesterday. He
finished in the money on 16
straight mounts from the last
race Monday until he ran out in
the second race yesterday.
Maybe that second race made
Willie mad-he came home in
front the next five times.
Shoemaker now has 86 winners
at the Tanforan meeting, a
Northern California record. His
mounts here have won $209, 900,
another record.
Lame Horse Ends Streak.
Shoemaker'S winning streak
ended in the eighth race. Fried
Ed pulled up lame and cost
Willie any chance to make it six
straight.
His winning races yesterday
started in the third with Fat
Jack, $3.50, and continued with
Rockomme, $500; Dark Diana,
$16.40; In Reward, $4.40, and
Horsetrader-Ed, $4.90.
Shoemaker has averaged 300
plus winners a year for his brief
riding career. He rode his first
winner on April 20, 1949, at Gold

He finished out the year with
219 winners despite that late

Griffs Ready 10 Talk
Trade With Anyone;
Only Jensen Exempt
BY Burton Hawkins
StoF Stoff Correspondent

| oIoI SIoII SOfIeSpOnO0W
PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-The
Mats are ready to talk trade to
all comers in an attempt tofortify
a club which has been a distinct
disappointment by losing 13 of
its first 20 games.
AS the Mats prepared to open
a four-game series with the Ath-
letics here tonight, when Spec
Shea will take the mound against
Philadelphia's accomplished little
left-hander, Bobby Shantz, prob
ably the only "untouchable" or
the club is Outfielder Jackie
Jensen.
Calvin Griffith, vice president
of the club, said, "We1l make any
deal that will benefit u.s." Asked
if he'd part with Third Baseman
Eddie Yost or First Baseman
Mickey Vernon, Calvin said, II
can't answer that"
Young Griffith revealed that
the New York Yankees, admitted
admirers of Yost, haven't ap-
preached the Mats regarding a
deal for the third baseman since
last December, when their propo-
sition was unsatisfactory to the
Mats.
Aggressive Bill Veeck of the St
| Louis Browns is a constant pur-
Suer of Vernon, but thus fal
hasn't tempted the Mats with
his varied offers.
Would Demand SkOwrOn.
If the Yankees renew their
quest for Yost, the Mats will in
Sist on several young players
among them Bill Skowron. Kan
SaS City outfileder- first baseman
who smashed 81 homers, batted
in 1874 runs and hit .341 last
season. The Mats also would seek
a third baseman and a second
baseman.
The talent-loaded Yankees
may be the only club with
enough promising young players
to interest the Mats in negotia-
tions for Yost, a fixture at third
base since 1947. The Browns re-
portedly are the only team in
terested in acquiring Vernon.
While Calvin admitted a readi-
ness to trade, it's unlikely the
club will part will Jensen, whose
speed. youth, power and strong
arm could make him one Of the
games stars.
Waiver Lists Watched.
Meanwhile the Mats bosses
are scanning waiver lists, hoping
to bolster the club by picking up
castoffs from other teams.
Major league clubs must trim
their rosters by midnight Thurs
day and the Mats may acquire
some rejects.
The Mats. beaten five out of
six by southpaws, are liable to
run into three of them in four
games with the AS, with Alex
Kellner due to follow Shantz in
tomorrow's game and Morris
Martin slated to team with
right-handed Harry Byrd against
the Mats in a double-header
Sunday.
The series could be highly i'm
portant to the Mats immediate
financial future, for anything
less than a spectacular showing
here probably will mean the
Mats will play to scant crowds
when they open a 14-game home
| stand starting Tuesday night.

This could be the worst season in many
years as far as attendance is involved. True,
the weather hasn't helped. Nor has the
prospect of the Yankees and Dodgers wind
ing up on top again, the Yankees for the
fifth straight season. But probably the
biggest factor is televiSion. You can't give
away product and sell it, too.
That's what baseball, people obviously
are trying to do. They are giving 1t away
on television and at the same time asking
people to buy seats at increased prices at
the ticket windows. A neat trick, but i'm
practical.

Administration Program For Livestock Industry Failed, Cattlemen Say

WASHINGTON, LR = A "cara- van" of $50 cattlemen declared Tuesday the Eisenhower admins tration's program for dealing with a desperate situation in the live stock industry has failed.
 The cattlemen urgently peti- toned President Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Benson for immediate government guar antees on livestock prices.
 These sentiments were voiced in a resolution prepared by the caravan for presentation in sec ond meeting with Benson.
 Benson's reaction left little hope among leaders in the caravan that he would yield to their pleas for prompt action to put govern ment floor under livestock prices.
 Looking beyond their meetings with Benson, however, the cattle men foresaw a heated fight over the issue when Congress recon venes in January and possibly growing support for their stand.

Russians Removed Big Diomeders, Says Pilot TOsch

ANCHORAGE, R- A veteran Alaska bush pilot says the Rus sians apparently have removed a village of native inhabitants from Soviet-owned Big Diomede Island in the Boring Sea.
 The Anchorage Times Juneau correspondent identified the flier as Orville Tosch, who recently vis- tied the territorial capital with a planeload of Eskimo children en- route to the Alaska Native Service vocational school at Mt. Edge cumbe, near Sitka.
 Tosch said that on numerous flights this year over the 24-mile strip of water separating Big Dio- mede and U.S.-owned Little Dio- mede Island, he saw no sign of the villagers who formerly lived on the Soviet Island. The villagers, closely related 10 ESk1mOS, are known as Chukchis.
 On one flight this year, Tosch said, he saw single man in a white parka patrolling the shore of Big Diomede. He said it was shortly after Cecil Stoner, a fugi- tive from the United States and a professed Communist sympathiz- CT, padded across the water be- tween Little Diomede and Big Diomede, and disappeared behind the Iron Curtain.
 Tosch said he had seen no Sov- jet planes on any of his airline ex- cursion trips near Big Diomede.

that community such as Nome always gets better service when there are a number of airlines competing in serving a commit nity. If the number of airlines op- erating between the States and Alaska is reduced, it is safe to say that the standard of service would fall because the airlines would no longer have the same competi- tive drive.

 Walter Smith, news writer from Juneau, who has spent the sum- mer at Lost River, was a guest of the Chamber and expressed his interest in this part of Alaska, which is the only part of Alaska that can be called the frontier.

Feud With Dental Board Aired At
 Legislative g Group

ANCHORAGE, LR - A long, standing feud between Lee L. Me Kinley, Anchorage dentist, and the territory's Dental Examining Board received an airing over the weekend during sessions of the Legislative and Investigating Committee.
 Although the official press re- lease of the committee meeting made no mention of it, Hoveland, a member of the board, confirmed a report he spent about two hours talking things over" with the leg islators.
 Dr. Frank Dorsey, president of the Territorial Dental Assn, also participated in the session, Hove land said.
 The board has been under fire from Mckinley for alleged bias in 1IS SOl1OuSG lO dCti1ilt LCW OC1lI1oI Io to practice in the territory.
 It was also understood that Me Kinley also appeared before the committee in private session and that some men who failed to pass the last dental examination were also questioned.
 The committee said it had re- ceived reports of investigations of the Alaska Housing Authority, the Alaska Aeronautics and Commit nications Commission and the AL aska Merit System by paid inves- tigators.
 The reports will not be made public until officials of the de- partmentS concerned have an op- portunity to answer criticisms or make such statements as they desire" at executive sessions to be held later here and at Juneau.
 Besides Stringer, committee members who attended the meet ing included Sens. Mike Stepovich of Fairbanks; Howard Lyng of Nome; and Reps. William Board man, Ketchikan; and Alden Will bur, Fairbanks.
