NCAA Delays Action
On Code Violations,
0kays Track Marks
By the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Associ-
atoms powerful council fiddled
with tracks records and football
televiSion today while specula-
tion sizzled over the fate of three
colleges expected to be censured
for athletic code violations.
The so-called "unholy three"
haven't been identified but
grapevine reports are that they're
Michigan State, Notre Dame and
Arizona State at Tempe.
Walt Byers, executive director
OF the NCAA, said the council
wouldn't get it's teeth into these
important matters until tomor-
row with an announcement not
expected before Monday noon.
The council approved inter-
collegiate track records set by
Yves Santee, Kansas miller, and
Parry O'Brien and Sam Iness,
Southern California shot putters.
Santee's 4:02.4 mile in the
Compton, Calf, relays, which is
an American mark, was approved
as a national intercollegiate rec
ord, beating Kansas Glenn Cum
ningham's 4:06.7 set in 1894.
Santee's 4:03.7 mile was ac-
cepted as record for the NCAA
track and field championships.
bettering the 4:08.3 by Louis
Zamperlni in 1898.
O'Brien's prodigious shot put
of So feet, ga inches, bettering
world record, was approved as
a collegiate record, beating 1854
by Jim Fuchs of Yale in 1850.
O'Brien also set the NCAA meet
record with 58-7H. bettering his
own mark of 57-5s.
Iness' discus throw of 100 feet
and 7s inches in the NCAA meet
at Lincoln, Neb., was approved
as both an NCAA and collegiate
record. He beat his own college
mark of 1864 set in 1852 and
Archie Harris 174-334 set in the
NCAA in 1941. Iness' heave is up
for world record consideration

enters in 1854.
But with George May raising
first prize in the Tam to $50 900
next year the winner of Mays
tournament automatically will
be the leading money-winner
which will make the PGA's BIZ
monthly releases on winnings
meaningless. The pro golf body
will have to figure out some pro-
rated point system to honor the
top money-winner in order to
retain interest.
Several of Worsham,s pro golf
buddies here, who watched Lewis
super dramatic shot last week
end over WMAL-TV, maintain
that Lew did not hit a good shot
when his wedge from 100 yards
out on the last hole at Tam hit
the green and bounded into the
cup. Some of them maintain a
real good wedge shot would have
had more backspin. Good or
not. Worsham would say he
doesn't want to take the shot
over.
incidentally Worsham wasn't
the only member of the family
to sink long shot last week.

one on the 168-yard 10th hole

A program of songs, giving
the greatest enjoyment to a
large audience. was presented
last night in observance of
Founders Day in the Library Of
Congress. This day, which is
also the birthday of Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge, is seldom cele-
brated with a concert of vocal
works. 1t u.s., however, the occa-
sion each year to honor some
special composer with the play
ing of a composition commits
stoned by the Coolidge Founda-
ton. Last night, the composer
so distinguished was Samuel
Barber.
For the Interpretation of Bar
ber's songs, and others by Pou-
lenc and Henri Sauguet, the
singer chosen was the gifted
Leontyne Price, whose perform
ance of Bess in the latest pro-
duction of GershWin's "Porgy
and BesS" at the National The
ater is we'll remembered. Fur
ther laurels were won by Miss
Price during the operas Euro

Her unquestioned artistry was
fully exhibited in the taxing

sion Mr.. Barber wrote Hermit

from poems of the 9th to the

Barber has made notable con-
tribution to the literature and
demonstrated his right to first
rank as an American composer

were preceded by those songs
by Barber already frequently
heard on recital programs and
dating back to 1927 when the

their songs. Her vocal produc-

Polio Drive Seeks
Funds 10 Vaccinate
UptoMiIIion Children

The National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis has launched
drive for funds to vaccinate
between 100000 and million
children across the Nation with
the new vaccine believed capable
of providing permanent protec-
tion against the disease.
The program was dramati-
cally announced to a group of
volunteer March of Dime work.
ers yesterday by Basil O'Connor,
head of the foundation, speaking
by television from Birmingham
Ala.
Mr.. O'Connor outlined the
need for $75 million to fulfill
the entire foundation program
$7.5 million of that for the field
tests with the new vaccine.
Will Begin in January.
He said the tests will begin
sometime after the first of the
year and must be completed be-
fore June Is. the beginning of
another epidemic season for
poliomylitiS.
The program is a broadening
of the one that began last year
with the testing of 700 children,
with salutary effects. Mr.. O'Con-
nor pointed out this sampling
was inadequate to determine
positive results. which can be
learned only through trials in
a great croSS-section of the pop
ulation.
He explained that the vaccine
is made up of dead polio virus
produced on tissue culture and
that it had been used with safety
and no evident i'll effects.
Seek $19 Million.
Rather than interfere with
the present gamma globulin
program, the new campaign will
supplement it. Mr.. O'Connor
said the foundation is seeking
$19 million to triple it's output
and dissemination of gamma
globulin to about l million next
year. But he added that there
are a potential 46 million users
of the precious supply.
Gamma globulin shots protect
the users for periods of only
from five to six weeks.
The remainder of the $75
million being sought by the
foundation would be used for
such purposes as patient care,
epidemic aid, clinical research
and study, information and ed
ucation.
Mr.. O'Connor warned of over
optimism in the Nationwide
tests. but he said it is hoped the
results will be of great assistance
in combating the disease.
His. talk was carried over a
closed television circuit on 10
television sets in the Mayflower
main ballroom. Afterward Mr..
O'Connor answered questions
put to him by telephone.
