Young and White
Both Predict Victory
In N. Y. Central Fight
By the Assoelated Pres.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-New
York Central President William
White said today he expects SO
per cent of the railroads stock
to be represented at the annual
meeting and reiterated his belief
that he will defeat Robert R.
Young'S efforts to gain control of
the system.
Mr.. Young Immediately an
nounced that I'VE are going into
the proxy fight with a board
which will own about 20 per cent
of the New York Central out
standing stock and I am con-
f1dent we will go into the meet
ing at Albany on May 26 with
90 per cent of the votes of those
present"
Outstanding Shares.
There are 6,447.41O shares Of
stock outstanding and each
share has one vote at the annual
meeting on May Is in Albany.
Mr.. Young, former chairman
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
way, and his close associates and
friends are reported to own at
least a million shares of Central
stock, or roughly II per cent.
Mr.. Young has said repeatedly
that he has enough of follow
ing to take over the board of di-
rectorS at the next meeting. Mr..
White again denied today that
such was the case.
Central's board several weeks
ago rejected bid by Mr.. Young
and his close associate, Allan P.
Kirby, for places on the board.
declaring that to do so would be
"inimical" to the best interests
of the railroad.
Each Claims Victory.
The two men have been feud-
ing in earnest since. with each
claiming victory The latest
broadside in the struggle came
from Mr.. White after Mr.. Young
scored a strategic point earlier
this week when the Chesapeake
& Ohio announced it had sold
100000 shares Of Central stock
to Clinton w. Murchison and
Sidney w. Richardson, Texas
millionaires, openly i'll the Young
camp.
Mr.. Young's latest move
proves he is convinced the only
way he can get control of the
New York Central is by buying
it." Mr. Whites statement said.
"His contention that 80 per cent
of the shareholders of the rail-
road were behind him has been
exploded as a myth.
Mr.. Young is said to control
IT per cent of the stock. That
leaves 80 per cent. This is still a
democracy where the majority
rules"

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) Con-
gressman Adam C. Powell will tour
West Point Military Academy

termine how far integration has
been effected in the army cadet
mess detachment serving at the

Congressman Powell recently
complained to the Defense Depart
ment about the use of all-Negro
units as walters and dishwashers
for the cadets, and stated that he
felt soldiers should not be used for
such duties.
He was informed that the unit
would be integrated, and has since
received word that white volun-
teers are being transferred to the
unity and some of the Negro
troops are being transferred.

NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-When
the baseball season opened this
year and the Giant fans were jubi-
liant over the return of Willie Mays
to the lineup, we warned that
Willie couldn't win the pennant all
by himself, and that they were
putting too much pressure on the
Say Hey kid. We hate to say I'VE
told you so" but look what's hap
pening to the kid.
This bings up great fault in our
whole attitude toward our sports
stars-they are hero worshipped,
wined, dined, and pampered, and
it's no good for them or their
teams. We hear, for instance, that
j. C. Caroline, the sensational ALL
American football hero of this past
season, is having little difficulty
with his studies. Did anyone realize
this might happen when he was
being feted all around the Cream
ed chicken" circuit, cutting classes
left and right in order to do it?
Even a steady performer like
Jackie Robinson had a tough go at
it during his sophomore year with
the Dodgers. After his brilliant
rookie year, he was much in de-
mand for extra-curricular activity.
They kept him on the go so much
until he couldn't play ball. But
Jackie knew this wasn't doing him
any good, and he tried to get a
few minutes to himself and pull
himself together. When he did, the
fans said he was snooty and un-
obliging. Well, maybe so, but
many a bright star has started to
fade in the sports world long be-
fore his time, simply because the
public has pounced on him and
blown him up all out of proper
ton, building him up, to the pub
lie, as having reached heights he
had not yet achieved. Then, when
the youngster couldn't live up to it
all, they were disappointed.
Our advice to all who would
spoil these new players as they
come up is. "let 'em play ball."
