mission to the college,"
All Miami Teams Barred.
Nat Holman, who guided CCNY
to the NCAA and National In
yitational Tournament cham
pionships, was suspended as head
coach, but recently was rein
stated.
The ruling affects only CCNY's
basketball team with respect to
NCAA sponsored or approved
tournaments or post = season
events.
All Of Miami's teams, on the
other hand, are barred from
competing in any NCAA-ap-
proved or post-season game or
tournament.
The ruling dealt stiff blow
to Miami's football team, which
is undefeated in four games this
season. Miami, which has
brushed past F'urman, Holy
Cross, Baylor and Mississippi
State and has been mentioned
prominently for berth in a
post bowl game, plays
Maryland at home tomorrow
night.
Byers said earlier this week
that the Sugar Bowl, the Drake
Relays and the Eastern Collegiate
Athletic Conference had agreed
to ban teams on NCAA probation
or under suspension from their
events.
This affects Miami almost
directly, since the school had
been given a chance to play in
the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans
January if the team made a
good showing through the rest
of its schedule. The rest of
the season includes in addition
to Maryland, Fordham, Auburn.
Alabama and Florida.
Conducted Football Try0uts.
There was a possibility Miami
could go through without a
blemish, leaving the school in
the unenviable spot of having an
undefeated team with no place
TO go.
Miami drew the probationary
period. the council said, because
the school violated NCAA regu-
lations by providing "transpor-
tation costs of prospective atf-
letes to visit the campus during
at least the past four years" and
for conducting "tryouts for
prospective football players"
Byers said the ruling has no
effect on Miami's regularly
scheduled games during the 1854
or 1855 seasons.
Newsmen questioned Byers on
the severity of the penalty meted
Miami on all of its teams, while
only CCNY's basketball team
was affected.
Byers said the council, 'in
considering each case before it,
took into consideration the type
of violation involved. the steps
taken by the institution in han
ding the matter, the overall
practices. policies and admins
tration of the institution and
related factors"
The councils report noted and
commended CCNY "for the thor

which it handled this entire
matter and the steps it has TAX

practices and abuses"

TELEPHONE TAXES NOW
STRAIGHT 10 PER CENT

Tax on telephone service which
has ranged from Is to Is pei
cent since it originated during
1941 was reduced to straight
10 per cent effective April /
following President Eisenhower's
signing of the General Excise
Tax Bill.
Despite the fact that the tax
was levied on a necessity in
modern living, it was the highent
excise tax the government levied
with the exception of that on
liquor and tobacco.
Taxes on telephone service
reached their peak in 1914 when
congress levied what it termed
War Tax Rates." These higher
rates were imposed at the time
to help raise revenue, and to dis
courage the use of telephones al
q time when the government
needed these facilities for war
communications, and when new
services could not be installed OF
expanded because of the scarcity
of materials and manpower.
The law provided that these
taxes should expire six months
after the close of hostilities.

NOW MORE NEED
FOR FOSTER HOME
IN DARE COUNTY
Number of Children in Need
Increasing; Qualified Peo-
pie May Apply

'The number of children in
need of foster home care is in
creasing'', said Mrs. Goldie H.
Meekins, superintendent of pub
lie welfare in Dare County, in
discussing the need for boarding
homes for children in this county.
I'm spite of the more than 500
licensed foster boarding homes
for children in North Carolina
and the four licensed homes in
this county, there is constant
need for additional homes" Mrs.
Meekins said.
There is particular need for
foster homes which can offer
specialized care for children who
are mentally retarded, physically
handicapped, or who have emo
tional problems. This type of
home supplements the resources
of the homes which provide care
for deserted and neglected chill
dren".
The Statewide program which
assists in providing foster board
ing home care for children is one
of the most valuable programs
administered by welfare agen-
,cies, in the estimate of State and
county welfare officials. State
and county funds are available to
provide the cost of this boarding
home care. The county depart
ment of public welfare shares
responsibility for the child with
the foster parent A staff mem
Der makes regular visits to the
home.
Foster boarding homes are Ii
censed under State law by the
State Board of Public welfare.
Under one plan foster homes pro-
vide care for children being stu
died for adoption. Another plan
provides care for children who

are deprived of the privilege of
being in their own homes for
some sufficient reason and are IN
need.
Provision is made in these fos-
ter homes, for children who are
neglected or deserted, while
plans are being made for per-
manent living arrangements. In
foster homes children with be-
havior problems are provided
good homes so they can become
better adjusted. Children with
physical or mental handicaps are
given the individual attention
needed. Care is taken by the
county welfare staff to place
child in a home suited to his
special needs. A foster home pro-
vides board and shelter for the
child and the foster parent is en-
couraged to give him a share in
the love and sense of belonging
which family life contributes.
To be considered for licensing
as a foster boarding home, it is
necessary for the home to be ac-
ceptable with respect to sanitary
and health factors. Fire safety
factors are also considered in the
licensing process. There must be
income already coming into the
home for the foster home pro-
gram is essentially a service
program and should not be
thought of as way of securing
income. The program is consis-
tently stressed as a resource in
safeguarding the welfare of chill
dren.
''In Dare County, we have four
licensed boarding homes. There
are five children being cared for
in these homes at the present
time.
Needs of children in this
county can only be met as homes
are made available to give Ii
censed foster home care. We urge
interested individuals to contact
the county public welfare de-
partment regarding this pro-
gram, Mrs. Meekins concluded.

by the undercurrent. Many per-
ished from exhaustion, having
eaten nothing for twenty-four
hours and being chilled through
with cold water. 1t is really a
wonder to me that so many were
saved. When I left for the shore,
the foremost was almost ready
to go. Our last hope had fled.
Little assistance could be rend-
cred from those on shore; there
being no life boats. I reached
shore utterly exhausted, and but
for a few sturdy seamen to pull
me up, 1 would have persisted
there.
after I left, the foremost fell,
sweeping about go souls over
board, several getting killed by
the fall. None of those reached
shore who were swept into the
sea, for a strong current carried
them out far. Their bodies have
not yet been found.
''The scene on the beach the
next day was beyond description.
A party of negroes had been
there during the night and car

The dead were rifled, pockets
cut and men even stripped of
their clothing. One lady, so states
her husband, washed ashore dur
ing the night. Mrs. Captain Har-
rison had $3.50 in a belt about her
person. The pirates robbed her of
even the diamond rings from her
fingers. They stole all property
that could be carried off.

Terrible Suffering.
The natives were described as
being on the scene in great num-
bers, gathering in the debris
while many bodies were strewn
about them on the beach. Sixty
survivors were kept at the Light
house and fifty at the Currituck
Shooting Club. The wretchedness
and misery of the rescued, their
pitiable plight and appearance

Nelson Jury Excluded
As Judge Decides II
Testimony Is Eligible

The three-day-old gambling
retrial of Charles E. Nelson,
wealthy Richie (Md.) farmer,
and 10 others continues today in
Federal Court with the jury yet
to hear a word of testimony.
A panel of seven women md
five men. selected after two days
of trial, spent four hours cooling
their heels in a jury room yester-
day. They were excluded as soon
as the first witness, Perrin A.
Kent. an Internal Revenue Serv-
ice agent. was called.
Judge James w. Morris Of the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, said more
waiting outside the courtroom
was in prospect for the jurors
today.
Eligibility Weighed.
The jury is being kept out, he
explained, until it can be deter
mined whether many witnesses
the Government intends to call
are eligible to testify under
ruling made last July by the U S.
Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia.
The appellate court set aside
an earlier conviction for Nelson
and his cohorts on the ground
Nelson had been high-pressured
into turning over II highly in
eliminating" documents to the
Kefauver Crime Committee in
1852.
Judge Morris said he would
have to hear several of the Gov
ernment's key witnesses to de-
termine if what they learned
about Nelson's activities in op-
Grating an alleged Sc million-a-
year gambling syndicate was a
result of information contained
in the Nelson papers.
If so. he said, they will be
excluded as witnesses. However,
Judge Morris told Assistant
United States Attorneys j. Frank
Cunningham and James Knapp
that. if the prospective witnesses
could show their information
came from independent sources,
he would let them testify.
Described as Business.
In his opening statements.
Mr.. Knapp described Nelson as
an insurance man who started
his numbers ring 20 years ago
as an adjunct to his insurance
collections.
He said the wealthy farmer
and owner of Uncle Billie's"

cate on a sound business basis.
1T was just that-a business
like any other-except that it
was Illegal" Mr. Knapp asserted.
Scheduled to be the first wit
ness today is Thomas A Nasi-.
den. jr.. former assistant
United States attorney, who
helped present the Nelson case
to a grand jury that returned
