Busby. Gets $4,000;
White Sox Rule Out
Trade for Vernon
By Burton Howkins
stor Stuff Correspondent

ORLANDRO. Fla, Mar. L.
Outfielder Jim Busby came to
terms with the Senator's today,
leaving Mickey Vernon as the
clubs only holdout.
The 27-year-old centerfielder,
who had no serious differences
with the club, signed for an esti-
mated salary of $4,000. He won
a stable increase by hitting .3l2
last year, when Minnie Minoso
OF the White Sox and Billy
Goodman of Boston beat him out
for third place in the league by
one point.
Meanwhile. the Senators re-
ceived one turn-down in their
efforts to trade Vernon, who is
asking $40,500 and is now an
official holdout. However, there
were signs that two clubs might
be interested in a deal for the
veteran first baseman.
Cronin Might Negotiate.
Manager Paul Richards of the
White Sox said he is not inter-
ested in a deal for the leagues
leading hitter, but General Man.
ager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox
didn't reject the possibility of
negotiations.
'I'm not interested" Richards
said when reached by telephone
at his Tampa hotel. II couldn't
afford to give UP anybody who
would appeal to Mr.. Griffith"
There was feeling Richards
might consider shifting Minoso to
third base and switching either
Ferris Fain or Vernon-both first
basemen-to the outf1eld. The
White Sox. like the Senators,
have weak reserves and Richards
isn't willing to part, with a reg
ular in an effort to obtain
Mickey.
Cronin was noncomittal when
contacted at Sarasota, but he
didn't say no" Joe chose to
hedge. saying. I'D prefer not to
talk about Vernon or any hold
out. I don't believe it's good
policy"
Hutchinson Interested.
Freddie Hutchinson, manager
of the Tigers, was not available
for comment. but a source close
to the club said Hutchinson
doubtless would be interested in
getting Vernon. First Baseman
Walt Dropo hasn't developed as
anticipated for the Tigers. He
batted only .248 last year but
drove across So runs.
The Senators bosses have in
dictated they'll consider parting
with Vernon for starting
pitcher. Detroit has a pair of
holdout pitchers in Ned Carver
and Steve Gromek who might be
acceptable. Carver. who had an
I'LL record last season is
baking at a 100000 contract.

n. {. State, Seeded
Fourth, Now Picked
To Win ACC Title
By Merrell WhittIesey
Sior Staff Correspondent

RALEIGH, N. c.. March L.
North Carolina State became
probably the first fourth-seeded
team ever to be picked as the
favorite in an upcoming tourna-
ment by virtue Of its 81-63 tri-
umph over George Washington
here Saturday night.
Because the Wolfpack looked
so good in becoming the second
team to beat CIV this year. and
because it will be playing on its
home floor. it is now the choice
in the Atlantic Coast Conference
basketball tournament opening
here Thursday afternoon.
For years 1t was customary to
hold a meeting of coaches and
officials here on the Sunday pre-
ceding the old Southern Con-
ference tournament to make the
f1rst-round drawings. This is
unnecessary now, as the Atlantic
Conference has only eight teams,
and the pairings are automatic.
But the meeting was held yes
terday to stimulate interest in
the tournament.
$4,000 Advance Sale.
Willis Casey, business manager
Of athletics at North Carolina
State. announced an advance
ticket sale of $4,000 for the
tournament, approximately SIS
600 behind the advance for the
Southern Conference tournament
of year. ago.
But individual game tickets
go on sale today and the l2,4OO
seats for Fridays Semif1nal
games figure to be gone in a
hurry. Barring completely unex-
pected form reverSals, the semi
finals should find Maryland play
ing Wake Forest and Duke meet
ing NC. State.
The f1rst-round pairing for
Thursday are on the dull side,
and only a few thousand of the
faithful are expected for the
matinee program. First-round
pairing are:
2 PM. - Wake Forest VS..
South Carolina.
4:15-Maryland VS.. Clemson.
7:30-Duke VS.. Virginia.
9:15-North Carolina VS.. N.
C. State.
Wake Forest has beaten South
Carolina twice this year, Mary
land stomped Clemson twice and
N. c. State twice beat North
Carolina by fairly close scores.
Cavaliers to Test Duke.
Duke, the regular season lead
er, draws the toughest first
round opponent by accident.
Virginia was seeded eight be-
cause it was admitted to the con-
ference after the basketball
schedules were made, and it did
not play enough regular season
games. Actually Virginia prob
ably is the f1fth-best team in the
tournament, having beaten North
Carolina.
The Cavaliers won seven
straight before losing by nine
points to Penn in Philadelphia
Saturday.
Duke won top-seeded honcrs
by losing only one game in con-
ference play-to Wake Forest.
Maryland is seeded second, Wake
Forest third and State fourth.

Care Helps Beef
Calves Get Started

Beef calves are tough little crit
ters, but if everyone of them is to
be saved this spring they may need
some special help. The right atten-
ton at the right time may save a
valuable animal, says George Va
paa, county agent.
Keep close check on your COWS, .
he suggests, $50 that you will know
when each is ready to calve.
Check especially first-calf heifers
2 or times a day between farm
chores. These young cows often
have trouble in calving and require
help"
See that the calves nurse within
4 or 5 hours after birth. They may
need some help the first time. The
cows first milk, the colostrum, is
a good source of vitamins and
minerals, and helps to get the
calls digestive system working
right.
1t doesn't take baby calves long
to start nibbling at hay and grain.
Oifer them some choice, leafy hay
and a clean, palatable grain mix.
One grain mix could be made of 4
parts of oats, l part of bran and
one part of sOybean on meal. Then
get the COWS and calves out on
grass soon as possible.
Purebred and feeder calves will
gain well during the summer on a
creep ration placed in the pasture.
When pastures are abundant and
the cows have ample milk for their
nursing calves, a good creep ra-
ton can be made of equal parts
cracked corn and oats. If pastures
become scant, add 10 per cent pro-
TEN supplement to this mixture.
DehOrning and tatooing are two
other jobs to do while the calves
are young and before they get too
large to handle easily.

REPORT TO PARENTS
by DIR. Martha VI. Eliot
Chief, Children's Bureau

When a baby is born with a cleft
palate he will need more than sur
gerry to correct the defect.
! He will need the help of a group
of specialists which include at least
a surgeon, a pediatrician, a dem
/ fist and speech therapist. He and
his parents also may need some
psychological help in the process
of his rehabilitation. =
Approximately one baby of everv
500 is born with a cleft palate.
cleft lip, or both, according to our
best estimates. This means nearly
5000 such babies a year with the
high birth rate we have now. In
Pennsylvania, study showed that
there was one baby born with this
condition in about $50 births.
A few years ago, the Pennsylva-
MIA State Department of Health de-
cided that there was a public re-
spOnsibility to provide better care
for children born with this defect
whose families had limited means.
The state now has an active pro-
gram for the care of such children.
the only program of it's kind now
being operated by any state in the
country.
The Departments Division of
Cleft Palate is authorized to pur-
chase services for the complete
study and treatment of children up
to 16 years of age in families whose
economic condition will permit
them to assume only partial or, in
some cases. no financial response
bility for this care.
Children to be treated are re-
feTred to the division bv doctors.
They may go to one of seven elm
les, scattered over the state, where
they are seen by a team of special
lists who study each case and de-
eide what is the best plan for re-
Mobilization.
The medical approach to the
problem of the child with a cleft
palate is that many special SER
vices are important to his rehabil-
itatiOn. All are equally necessary.
He will need surgery; he will need
help with his speech; he will need
regular dental care; he will need
to become accustomed to the use
of whatever devices are required
to strengthen and support his pal
ate.
In four years of the programs
operation, the clinics have regis
tered 1892 new patients for exami-
nation. More than a thousand sur
gical operations have been per-
formed Patients also have been
given speech and dental treatment.
Pennsylvania medical authori-
ties, quIue rightly, are proud of the
] numbers of children whom they
have been able to help through
their cleft palate service The nhye
ical and emotional well-being of
these children has been vastly en-
N"""ed by this very constructive
/ program.
