 After reading this statement, Eisenhower said that since the matter was still in litigation he would not have anything further to say on it at this time.
 It was the Presidents first news conference in five weeks - his first since August 27.
 On politics, Eisenhower said he has heard talk of Republican apa- thy, of sitting on hands and com placency in the Congressional cam paigns. To him, he said, such an attitude is incomprehensible.
 He spoke of the philosophy of his administration LII he called it a middle of the road and stay out of the gutter doctrine - and said the record of his almost six years in office provides a good foundation for COP campaigning this year.
 Eisenhower said he doesn't see how any Republican candidate could be anything less than en- thusiastic about tn e party's chances. Hitting out against voter apathy, Eisenhower said that if the Republicans failed to help with their time, brains and money, then their cause will be lost.

 'We can now prove blood type and bone structure differences between North American salmon and Asiatic salmon.
 If unmolested in North Pa cific feeding grounds" he ex- plained, "both Asiatic and North American salmon would return in vastly greater runs to their spawning areas.
 Brooding said 36-man Amer ican delegation would go to To- kyo October 20 to attempt to ne- gotiate new line of demarca- ton.

The. American Foo b a. i
Coaches Association has a Study
Committee to keep up with the
football casualties. Their records
seem to go back twenty-Six
years. Personally, I would doubt
that their records cover all the
casualties when I think of the
many remote small town high
schools, but, even so, the re-
cord is pretty dismal.
For each of the last 26 years
deaths known to have been
caused by situations and condi-
tions directly connected with
practice sessions or with foot
ball contests, have averaged
1888. In 1856 there were II and
last year there were 16 and five
others were attributed indirect
ly to football. To the shame of
the American high school ad-
miniStrationS, thirteen of last
years victims we're HI G H
SCHOOL STUDENTS, two were
sandlot players, and one was on
a semi-pro team. Have you seen
these statistics? I doubt If you
have and yet I am fairly sure
that they are in the files of all
the newspapers you read.
I remember painfully even
now the pressure from the COM
munity, the sports writer's, and
the students which was put on
the administration at Carver
to field a football team some
years ago. We had absolutely
nothing in the way Of equip
ment. had caused to be des-

that it had been given to Car

permit the boys to play or even
practice ''tackling" football un-
til we should have everything
required for a good training pro-
gram and for safety in game
plav. I remember that it cost
$55 to outfit a player and we
had no money. We couldn't put
it in the budget! One Of the
sororities gave us the first out
fit and finally we had the very
minimum that was required to
get started in football and not
a rag of it was "hand-me-
down." We were fortunate to
have at Carver as coach a mar
