CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Ken-

basketball schedule this year. to
the surprise of no one.
Some of the DePaul kids who
played against Kentucky Mon

omores when their opponents
were learning basketball at Ken
lucky.
The players who form the
backbone Of the Kentucky five

and Frank Ramsey-are in their
fifth year at Kentucky.
Kentucky sat out the basket
ball season last year because the
NCAA said the school was guilty
of paying players and Coach
AdoIph Rupp had used players
he knew to be ineligible.
The action was supposed to
penalize Kentucky.
Did it? The suspension cost
Kentucky $125.000 to $150,0O0
in gate receipts. That's hitting
where it hurts in college ath-
letics. However, basketball in
general. and all of Kentucky's
opponents suffered more than
Kentucky.
Hagan, Ramsey, and Tsioro-
poulos slowed down their school
work so they would graduate a
year later. thus removing what
ever doubt there might have

To Sew Up Title Shot
In N Fight Tonight
By The Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO. Jan. 13.-Ezzard
Charles fights Bob Satterfield in

Stool favorite, and the whole
thing is summed up bluntly by
Jake Mintz.
Charles enthusiastic little

last time I saw Satterfield. Rex
Layne was standing over his
prone body. Don't tell me that
bum got of the floor again.
All we want to know is what's
par on Satterfield's chin?"
Satterfield isn't that bad. He's
probably one of the hardest
punchers in the business today.
Like Rocky Marciano he can
knock out a guy with one shot.
Satterfield Inconsistent.
However, in return, the Chi
cago Negro has been an incon-
sistent winner at best. He has
AZ victories. 25 by knockouts, but
he has been chilled nine times
himself in IA defeats.
The experts don't look for to-
nights scheduled 10-rounder to
go beyond six rounds. There is
little betting despite the odds.
Satterfield, at 1872 pounds
about 8 lighter than Charles
is expected to start failing
away at the opening bell and
continue the pace with the hope
of a connection.

Choosing football as a career.
Kuharich coached an Albany.
N. Y. high school eleven in
1889, but in 1910 and Al played
for the Cardinals in the Ma
tional Football League. AS an
offensive guard he called the
plays for Coach Jimmy Conzel-
man.
Joe's football career was inter-
rupted for 46 months, beginning
in 1912. for Navy service. He
returned to the Cards in 1945
in time to help upset the Chi
cago Bears. 1877. in the final
game of the season.
Kuharich retired as. a player
the following season to accept
position as line coach of the
Pittsburgh Steelers under the
late Jock Sutherland. In 1947
he moved to the University of
San Francisco in a similar role
under Ed McKeever. When the
latter resigned in l948 Kuharich
took over the reins.

Kuharich drafted him for the
Cardinals.
San Francisco dropped football
the following year and Kuharich
was signed as head coach of the
Cardinals, succeeding Curly Lam

helped Joe get off to a bad start
by supsetting the Cards, 23-7, in
a game marked by Sammy
Baugh's eviction for the first
time in his 16-year career, for
fist-f1ghting. Baugh also played
one of the best first halves of his
career, completing IL consecu-
tive passes to put the Redskins
ahead.
Early in the 1852 season it was
obvious to persons colse to pro
football that Kuharich and the

Joe's subsequent release was not
unexpected. It was reported that

receive q higher percentage
share OF Federal funds than
others. In the program Of old
age assistance. for example.
States making low assistance
payments receive up to 80 per
cent Federal funds in defray-
ing the costs Of their programs.
States making high assistance
payments receive about 65 per
cent Of Federal funds In that
portion Of the old-age assist
ance payments which is with
in the $55 maximum for Fed
eral participation.
This variation In Federal
participation is the result of q
Congressional determination
that the Federal sharing should
be higher for States which. be-
cause Of low resources, gen.
orally make low assistance pay
ments. In order better to
achieve this purpose. I recon-
mend that a new formula be
enacted. It should take into
account the financial capacity
Of the several States to sup
port their public assistance
programs by adopting, as a
measure of that capacity,
their per capita income. Such
a new formula will also facili-
tate the inclusion, in the old
age assistance program. of a
factor rejecting the expansion
of OASI.
The present formula for
Federal sharing in public as
sistance programs requires
adjustment from another
standpoint. Under present
law. the Federal Government
does not share in any part of
a monthly old-age assistance
payment exceeding $55. Yet
many of these payments must
exceed this amount in order
to meet the needs of the in
dividual recipient, particularly
where the individual requires
medical care. I consider it
altogether appropriate for the
Federal Government to share
in such payments and recon-
mend, therefore. that the
present SIS maximum be
Evening star., 1954-01-14

placed on an average rather
than on an individual basis.
Corresponding changes in the
other public assistance pro-
grams would be made. This
change in the formula would
enable States to balance high
payments in cases of acute
need against low payments
where the need is relatively
minor. In addition, great
administrative siinplification
would be achieved.
A new public assistance
formula should not become ef-
fective until the States have
had an opportunity to plan for
it. Until such time, the 1852
public assistance amendments
should be extended.
The recommendations have
here submitted constitute q
co-ordmated approach to sew
eral major aspects of the broad
problem of achieving economic
security for Americans. Many
other phases Of this national
problem exist and will be re-
flected in legislative proposals
from time to time to the Con-
gress. The effort to prevent
destitution among our people
preserves a greater measure Of
their freedom and strengthens
their initiative. These pro-
posals are constructive and
positive steps in that direction,
and I urge their early and
favorable consideration by the
Congress.

increased the earnings base
to $500.
Today. the earnings base Of
$500 covers the full earnings
Of only 40 per cent Of our
regular male workers. It is
clear. therefore. that another
revision Of this base is needed
to maintain q reasonable rela-
tionship between a workers
BENEFITS and his earnings.
I recommend. therefore.
that the earnings base for the
calculation Of OASI benefits
and payroll taxes be raised to
$4,000. thus enabling Is mil
lion people to have more of
their earnings taken into ac-
count by the program.
S. Benefits Should Be Com
puted on q FoireF Bosis.
The level Of OASI benefits
is related to the average Of q
workers past earnings. Under
present law periods Of abnor-
mally low earnings, or no
earnings at all. are averaged
III with periods of normal
earnings. thereby reducing the
benefits received by the retired
worker. In many instances. a
worker may earn little or Moth
ing for several months or sew
eral years because of illness or
other personal adversely be-
yond his power of prevention
or remedy. Thus the level Of
benefits is reduced below its
true relation to the earning
capabilities Of the employe.
Moreover, If the additional
millions Of persons recon-
mended for inclusion under
OASI are brought into the
program in 1855 without modi-
fication of present law. their
average earnings will be sharp
ly lowered by including as q
period Of no earnings the pc
riod from 1851 to 1885 when
they were not in the program.
recommend. therefore. that
in the computation Of q work.
er's average monthly wage, the
Evening star., 1954-01-14

four lowest years Of earnings
be eliminated.
s. The Benefit Rights Of the
Disabled Should Be Protected.
One Of the injustices In the
present law is its failure to
make secure the benefit rights
Of the worker who has a SUBJ
stantial work record in covered
employment and who becomes
totally disabled. If his disabil-
ity last four years or lesss my
preceding recommendation will
alleviate this hardship. But il
a workers earnings and con-
tributions cease for a longer
period, his retirement rights,
and the survivor rights Of his
widow and children. may be
reduced or even lost alto
gether. Equity dictates that
this defect be remedied. I
recommend. therefore, that the
benefits of a worker who has
q substantial work record in
covered employment and who
becomes totally disabled for
an extended period be main
tanned at the amount he would
have received had he become
IS and retired on the date his
disability began.
The injustice to the disabled
should be corrected not simply
by preserving these benefit
rights but also by helping
them to return to employment
wherever possible. Many of
them can be restored to lives
of usefulness, independence
and self-respect if, when they
apply for the preservation of
their benefit rights. they are
promptly referred to the vo-
cational rehabilitation agencies
Of the States. In the interest
of these disabled persons. a
close liaison between the OASI
system and these agencies will
be promptly established upon
approval Of these recommen-
dations by the Congress. More
over. in my message of Janu-
ary 18 to the Congress, I shall
propose an expanded improved
