UCLA FINED FOR
 BREAKING PROMISES

SAN FRANCISCO (P) UC- LA was fined $1,000 yester- day by the Pacific coast con ference for 'enticing an ath- lete under false pretenses.
 It was the maximum fine possible. The athlete was no. named.
 H. IF. Everest, University of Washington faculty represen- tative and PCC spokesman said the Bruins athletic depart mem, offered an academic scholarship to prospective athlete. The student enrolled but didn't get the scholarship, he said.
 The conference athletic di- recsors and faculty representa- tives ruled that UCLA made an unauthorized pledge. Ath- letic departments may not of- fer academic scholarships, which the university itself must process.
 The conference granted an- other year of eligibility to three athletes: Douglas Lusher Washington oarsman who transferred to UW after five days at Portland State and was penalized a year; Frank Mattarocci, California foot ball center who broke an an- kle five minutes after the start of the first game this season, and Otis Stroud, Cali fornia rugby player who was out for the 1854 season after being injured in three minutes of the opening game.
 The conference asked mem bers { 0 make no commitments for basketball games after Dec. 20, 1857, in order that new round robin home-and- home schedule, introduced this year, can be put into full eff feet.
 In other action, the confer ence seled-ed Victoria, B: c. for the spring meeting late in May and announced the resig-

President VetOes 8.6 Percent Postal Pay Raise Bill

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower Thursday vetoed a bill to boost the pay of 5OO,OOO postal workers by an average 8.6 percent.
 The President told the Senate in a veto message he regretted his action and earnestly hoped and recommended that "the Congress will quickly consider and enact postal pay legislation that will be in the public interest and fair to all the half million employees who man the postal service" ;"
 He said the vetoed measure would impose ia heavier burden upon the taxpayer than is neces- sary."
 Eisenhower listed these three reasons for his veto:
 'First, the bill creates new dis criminations or inequalities which would affect many thousands of postal employees.
 Second, the bill creates grave administrative problems such as the establishment of thousands of individual pay rates. It forces awkward and unfair administra- tive practices in government de- partment whose operations affect every person, every enterprise, every community in the country.
 Third, the bill imposes a heav- fer burden upon the taxpayer than is necessary to establish salary rates throughout the department which will compare favorably with rates for similar work else where in government and in pri- vate industry"
 The President has indicated an average 7.6 raise is about as far as he is willing to go.

Senate Investigators To Go After "Higher-Ups" Of Armed Forces GrafterS

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Mcclellan D-Arh said today his Senate Investigation subcommit- tee intends to expose the higher ups in ia nest of small grafters" he contends has fattened on con- tracts with the armed forces.
 He said in an interview he sees no evidence that corruption in big scale buying of uniform equipment has reached very high in the procurement services. But he said further evidence will show it has reached levels higher than those shown in two days of testimony this week.
 The subcommittee's public hearings recessed yesterday after a former chief inspector for the Army admitted that he had lied under oath.
 The witness, Joseph Porreca of Clifton, NJ, testified he had re- ceived a home freezer, meat to stock it, and some lingerie for Mrs. Porreco in 1852 from Marvin Rubin, a key figure in the in quiry.
 Rubin was business finder Sen. Bender R-Ohio) called him a ''fixer" some firms whose products for the armed services were inspected by Porreca's sub ordinates.
 Porreca admitted he had lied in prior sworn denials to the subcommittee that he had accept ed any of those things from Rubin. He still insisted they were not gifts, but he said he never paid for any of them.

Morningside Sanitarium Operators Oppose Bill to Provide Treatment
 Inside Alaska for Mentally Ill
By FRANK w. vAILLE

WASHINGTON, R-Operators of the Morningside Hospital at Portland, Ore, which for 50 years has had a government contract to care for Alaska's mentally ill, op- posed Wednesday bill to provide for treatment facilities inside AL aska.
 Wayne R. Coe, owner and man. ager of the hospital, described as purely an emotional appeal' the testimony by psychiatrists earlier that removal of ailing Alaskans 1,500 miles to Portland created problems adverse to their recov- cry.
 His son, Henry, general man ager of the Sanitarium Co. of Portland which operates the hos pital, said that with construction of facilities in Alaska, patients and relatives still would not be close enough for visitation because of the scattered population.
 The elder Coe presented figures which he said showed that not more than about 10 of the hospi- tal's present 360 patients would or could be visited by relatives even in Alaska. Less than half the hos pitfalls patients, he said, return to the territory.
 Both Goes, however, endorsed bill by Rep. Green D-Ore) to re- wise procedures for commitment of Alaska's mentally ill along modern lines. Similar endorse ment was given earlier by spokes- men for various governmental agencies and medical men.
 Territorial procedures now make no provision for voluntary com mitment. filling persons are ar rested after filing cf q complaint and are held in jail pending trial by jury on the charge of being mentally i'll, witnesses testified.
 The hearing before the House Territories subcommittee almost got sidetracked during the after noon when Mrs Green twice sug- gested the committee seek an audit of the Morningside opera ton.
 The final decision was post poned for further committee con- sideration after the elder Coe first agreed, then retracted and subse- quently re-agreed to submit to the audit if the committee desires.
 Rep. Sisk (D-Calif) supported Mrs. Greens request, contending there should be an accounting of money earned by the Morningside patients in the course of Occupa- tional therapy.
 Chairman O'Brien D-NY), who said the thought of a jury trial prior to commitment almost gags me-" told newsmen he hopes to have the bill approved at a meet ing of the committee next Tues day.
