A multitude of problems faced
the seven schools who withdrew
from the Southern Conference
yesterday-as well as the old
MISUNDERSTANDING them a bowl
tieup, the $4,000 basketball
tournament, recognition by the
NCAA as sectional champions in
all sports, schedule making and
money.
While the University Of Vir-
ginia was expected to become the
eighth member of the new con-
ference the University of Miami
(Fla.) asked to be considered, it
was learned today.
1t was understood MARYLAND
and the other schools that broke
away from the Southern Confer
ence probably will take the name
OF Atlantic Coast Conference,
with Dixie an alternate choice.
The latter would be more popu-
lar with headline writer's, and
probably with the public.
However, the Miami angle
seems preposterous, as one of the
reasons for the breakup was the
fact that the Southern Confer
ence was unwieldly geographic
cally. West Virginia probably
would have been included If it
were not for the geographical
angle.
Another major topic was: Will
schedules made for 1858, '54
and SIS stand, or will there be
a hurried reshuff1ing after the
June meetings?
Football Conference.
THE new seven-or eight
school organization will prin-
cipally be football conference"
an official of one Of the schools
said today in a telephone con-
verSation from Greensboro, where
the spring meeting of the South
ern Conference was held yes
terday.
The 10 schools remaining in
the conference came off with
the treasury. roughly $150,OOO.
the same thing that happened
when the Southern Conference
broke from the Southeastern in
1882. Maryland and the schools
that withdrew started a new
organization without funds.
After the eighth school is
named. there probably will be
an announcement of a bowl tie
up, with the winner of the new
league playing each year against
the Southeastern Conference
champion in the Sugar Bowl.
Rumored for Years.
The suspension of Maryland
and Clemson from football last
year undoubtedly led to the
break. which has been rumored
for years. The Terps and Tigers
were reinstated at a dull meet
ing in Clemson, S. c., last De-
cember. but the feeling still was
there. The difficulty in schedul-
ing also contributed to the break.
1t Is assumed the new league
will hold the annual basketball
tournament in Raleigh. with all
eight automatic qualifiers. That
event has netted over $4,000 for
years and has been the financial
backbone of the conference.
Bud Millikan, basketball coach
at Maryland, said it was his

VoIImer's Clutch Hits
Helping 10 Give Mats
New Lease on Life
BY Burton Howkins
Sfor SfoH Correspondent


Clyde Vollmer, the straw grasped
at by the Mats when Gil Coan
suffered his ankle injury, is doing
a valiant job of trying to keep
the teams head above water. He
got a late start. joining the club
10 days after the season opened.
but has taken over the runs
batted-in leadership.
Vollmer, veteran outfielder pur-
chased from the Red Sox, has
blasted across six runs In the
Washington clubs last two games
and accumulated 13 for the sea-
son. He has played in only IA
games.
Clyde and Jim Busby were the
big figures here last night as the
Mats. trailing by five runs after
six innings, teed off on Bobby
Shantz, then capitalized on the
wildness of Charley Bishop and
Marion Fricano to score a 10-7
victory over the Athletics.
Mats Score in Seventh.
Not a Nat stirred in the dug
out when Clyde was at bat in
the eighth inning. representing
the tying run. The Mats had
scored a run in the seventh
on a walk to Pete Runnels, Jim
Busby's double and Mickey Gras-
SOS grounder. They added an
other in the eighth on singles
by Ed Yost. Wayne Terwilliger
and Mickey Vernon to slice
Philadelphia's advantage to IA.
Batting with two on base,
Vollmer quickly brought the
Mats off their dugout perches,
though, with a booming double
to center which scored Terwil-
Tiger ana vernon.
When Shantz walked Runnels
he was lifted. Busby welcomed
Bishop into the game by betting
his first pitch off the left-f1eld
wall, scoring Vollmer and Run
nels. to give the Mats an 81
edge. Three straight walks,
yielded by Bishop to Terwil-
Tiger, Jackie Jensen and Ver-
non. and a fourth successive
base on balls permitted by Fri
cano to Vollmer. forced across
a run in the ninth. Gene Verble
scored another with a long fly
to Allie Clark in rightfleld.
Runnels. who twisted his right
ankle sliding into Catcher Joe
Astroth in the eighth inning, is
a doubtful starter at shortstop
today when the Mats Walter
Masterson will take the mound
against left-handed Alex Kell-
ner.
RunnelS' Ankle SwellS.
Runnels' ankle puffed and he
left the game, but Manager
Bucky Harris said the injury is
not serious.
The AS shelled a wild Spec
Shea for a AZ lead and when
he walked Astroth, gave up a
single to Shantz and Eddie Joost
sacrificed. he was yanked in the
sixth. AL Sima was no improve
ment. He wild-pitched Astroth
across while walking Dave Phil
ley. He also walked Loren Babe
and granted a single to Eddie
Robinson as the AS clustered
three runs.
NOTES: The defeat snapped
Shantz' three-game winning
streak and squared his record
at 3-3. The Mats have clipped
him for IL runs in is innings,
but have nothing better than a
split to show for it . Master
son blanked the Red Sox in his
first start, then lost three

GraSso and Shea were bark

Stor|ings Likely to Approve
Humphreys Hard S S Policy

A cleanup crusade may scratch
the surface of the Treasury, but
at first blush the problem of
hard money threatens to rub
out the whole idea.
In this instance Secretary
Humphrey has his eye on the
unsightly condition of the main
building, outside and inside. He
has asked the General Services
Administration to estimate the
cost of putting a shine on the
structure east of the cleaning
White House and driving subver-
sive starlings out of it's cornices
and porticoes.
The trick, however, is to upset
the birds without upsetting the
budget. Spokesman said some
preliminary prospecting" is un-
der way, but that no estimate
is likely right away. They added
that the project might cost too
Evening star., 1953-12-23

much to be handled out of avail
able funds.
The Treasury, rather than
GSA, would have to pay. It also
would have to stay within its
fiscal ceiling in any endeavor to
clean its rooofs, walls, columns
and porticoes. Whether economy
minded congressional commit
tees would lift a hand is a ques-
ton.
Secretary Humphrey, it was
indicated, will not be satisfied
with a mere whitewash. Although
newcomer on the site, he re-
portedly is aware of the worries
of his predecessors in the peren-
nial battle of the birds. A part
of the building has been electri-
cally wired but this has merely
caused the starlings to crowd on
other sections.
The situation as we'll as the
structure looks gloomy.

VIVA Fare Increase
Partly Supported by
Commission Aide

A 17-cent cash fare, five to-
kens for rs cents and a Scent
school fare for the District op-
erations of the VIVA Tran
sit Co. has been recommended
to the District Public Utilities
Commission by its own chief &C
countant.
Testifying yesterday, j. w.
Falk. executive accountant of
the commission. said these rates
would produce a rate of return
between Z and 8 per cent. He
described this as a fair rate.
The company. until yesterday
known as the Washington, Marl-
boro & Annapolis Motor Lines,
Inc, wants a straight 20-cent
cash fare within the District.
The existing fare is 13 cents
cash, three tokens for 35 cents.
Hearings Recessed.
Chairman Robert E. Nc
Laughlin recessed the fare in
crease hearings until some time
in January.
In recommending the fares,
Mr.. Falk estimated there would
be a per cent drop in passen-
gers. due to the change.
He put into the record these
figures: Total District of Colum-
bia revenue passengers, IL
months ended June 80. 1853.
1,496.959; the decline due to fare
change, 5.493; passengers who
will continue riding at the higher
fare, 1.268,696.
Estimates Alternatives.
He estimated his recommended
fare schedule would bring in
$205.092 for the year.
Mr.. Falk testified that if the
cash fare were Is cents, with no
tokens. there would be an 8 per
cent drop in passengers. He
estimated the gross revenue this
would produce at $206,716, rep
resenting an 8.14 per cent rate
of return.
If the cash fare were IS cents
without tokens, Mr.. Falk esti-
mated this would result in gross
revenues totaling $198,258 an
nually or a Sal per cent rate
of return, and a 6 per cent pas
Senger drop.
James w. Tanner, the COM
pany's secretary-treasurer, esti-
mated the company under a
straight 20-cent cash fare would
bring in $239,183.80 for an s
per cent return. He placed the
passenger loss due to the higher
fare at around Is per cent.

Sharply Cut Defense
Budget Given Fund
Administration OK
By John A. Giles

The military budget. including
a deep slash in the size of the
Army duying the fiscal year be-
ginning July l, has been finally
approved.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
made this clear to reporters yes
terday after two meetings with
President Eisenhower.
When asked if he thought
there still might be some elev-
enth-hour changes in the Penta-
CONS plan, Mr.. Wilson replied,
Il expect no major revisions. I"
He refused to give any details.
Holds Two Sessions.
Mr.. Wilson's first talk with
Gen Eisenhower was during q
general session attended by Dep
uty Secretary of Defense Roger
M. Kyes, Undersecretary of
State Walter B. Smith, Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway, Army
Chief of Staff, and Acc Chair
man Lewis Strauss.
An hour later, he returned ac-
companied by Secretary of the
Army Robert Stevens.
While the Navy and Marine
Corps also will suffer manpower
reductions. the Army's strength
will be trimmed materially-to
the neighborhood of IL million
officers and enlisted personnel
by the end of the next fiscal year.
And while the service is sched-
uled to close this year with a
strength of 1,423,O00, it now is
planned to reduce the total to
around 1.3 million on that date
This will also mean lower draft
calls-probably around $4,000 a
month. The call for February
is $4,000.
Will Bring Savings.
The speed-up in the man
power cuts during this fiscal
year will result. of course. in the
dollar savings the budget au-
thorities have been demanding
Official figures just released show
that each recruit costs the Army
SIS, 800 in the first year and
200 a year thereafter. Drop
ping 100000 men a year earlier
than actually required would
thus save $500 million, which is
sufficient to make the budget
officers breathe excitedly.
Army officials maintain that
the reductions will necessitate
severe trimming of combat ele-
mentS. To avoid reducing these
units fighting efficiency to a
dangerously low point compare
BILE to that of 1850, the Army is
expected to begin eliminating
whole units. The aim will be a
smaller number of combat ele-
ments in a fair state of readi-
ness, rather than a larger num-
ber for immediate field opera
tions. There are now 20 divisions
and 18 regimental combat
teams.
There have been some predic-
tions that at least two divisions
will be withdrawn from the Fal
East in 1854. on the optimistic
assumption that the uneasy Ko-
rean truce will not deteriorate te
further.
