Byrd Charges
FILA 'Laxity'
At Be|voir

~ DVuvVH
Senator Byrd. Democrat oi
Virginia. charged yesterday that
the Federal Housing Admin
stration appears to have beer
delinquent in discharging itS
responsibility" in a $9.7 million
Fort Belvoir housing project
He said a ruling by the Con-
troller General requires the
Army to recover $4,000 from
the builders Of the FHA-insured
project,
Applied on a nationwide
basis. he said the ruling might
enable the Government to re-
cover as much as $40 million
from FHA insured military
housing projects.
Senator Byrd said the con-
troller's decision was based on a
recent audit review of the Bel
voir project which developed
numerous deficiencies including
windfall possibilities"
Excess Mortgage Seen
"In this one case" he de-
clared, lit appears the FILA
was delinquent in discharging
its responsibility. the Army En-
gineers exceeded their author
ity and the builder was allowed
mortgage funds in excess of the
amount to which he was en-
titled"
The project, started in the
summer of 1858, is divided into
four areas at Belvoir. When
completed by the end of this
year, there will be 618 units for
officers and enlisted men.
A spokesman for the Gersten
Construction Co.. the builder,
said: I'VE don't feel we got
anything we weren't entitled
to-"
B, A.. Yorkshire. assistant
secretary of Gersten, said the
firm had been notified of the
Controller Generals ruling.
Asked to comment on Senator
Byrd'S statement, he said:
II don't know what he means
by 'windfall.' Personally, We'll
be happy to make a profit"
Mr.. Yorkshire said Albert
Gersten, company president,
was due here tomorrow from
the firms main Offices in Bev-
erly Hills, Calf.
He said he could not tell at
this time what effect the Con-
troller Generals ruling would
have on the company.
The Army awarded the con-
struction contract over the
protests of three members of
Virginia's congressional dele
cation.
Senators Byrd and Robert
son and Representative Broy-
hill had asked Defense Secre-
tary McElroy to halt plans for
the project to consider objec-
tions raised by the Mount Ver-
non Ladies Association.
The association had claimed
the project calls for at least
three times the density county
officials have established for
private development of adjacent
areas"
Later, the Fairfax County
Planning Commission also op-
posed the project.
Report of Controller
Last March the Controller
General reported to Congress
that he found "a lack of en-
phasiS on economy" in the
Army's building of the housing
project.
He disclosed that the Govern
ment was paying for title search
and insurance on land at Fort
Belvoir on which it already had
title and insurance.
The title duplication was cost
ing the taxpayers $4,000 on
that project, the report stated.
Senator Byrd noted yesterday
that Congress then prohibited
use of FHA-inSured mortgage
proceeds for purchase of title
search and insurance on Cape
hart projects which are usually
built on land already owned by
the Government.
The Senator said he under
stood the Controller Generals
ruling would apply Nation-
wide to similar housing projects
under construction prior to July
! Of this year.

Moore Says He
Will Fight Sugar
Robinson Next

New York (ANP)-Light heavy
weight champion Archie Moore is
confident he will defeat WON Du-
relle of Canada July IS and then
move on to the proposed title bout
with middle-weight kingpin Sugar
Ray Robinson.
Before winding up a visit here
last week, Moore, who some said
pull "a fast one" in sidestepping
Robinson for the rematch with
Durelle in Montreal, said he wants
to fight Ray in September. He in
Dictated by the choice of the date
that he is hopeful the bout with
Ray, if it actually comes off, will
be an outdoor affair.
Regarding Durelle, whom Archie
stopped after getting off the deck
four times in a great fight last
year, Moore said:
He was lucky, just lucky, in
our last fight. But he won't be
lucky again. I know I can beat
him"
Furthermore, said Archie, Du-
relle will never get him on the
canvas four times again.
The big problem for Moore now
, is making the weight for the July
Is bout. Last week he scaled 21O
pounds, way over the light heavy
weight limit of IT'S. However, Ar
chic is noted for making weight,
claiming to obtain the secret from
an Aborigine in Australia.
With Moore signing to defend,
July Is, the pressure is now on
Robinson. Ray is being pressed by
the National Boxing Association to
defend his title. The MIA claims
he is way over the six months re-
quired of champions for title de-
lenses.
Also, former m d dlewei g h I
champion Carmen Basilio is push
ing his bid for a rematch.

Lots OF Tan Talent

Several other tan aspirants are
trying to earn a steady job with
st. Louis this season. Currently
in training with the Red Birds in
st. Petersburg, Fla, are George
Grove, veteran first baseman; Joe
Durham. drafted from the minor
leagues after he failed to make it
with the Baltimore Orioles in the
American league; Marshall Bridg-
es, southpaw hurler acquired in a
purchase from Sacramento of the
Pacific Coast league; Dick Rick
etts, a highlander, and Bob Glib
son, both righthanders from Roch-
hester of the International league.
Also having a try is a young
Puerto Rican shortstop, Julie Cot
ay, whom experts say is real conner
but who might not be ready this
season.
Slated to join the team later is
Curt Floyd, last years regular
centerfielder, now completing a
six-month military stint.

quesne University basketball and
baseball star forsook a high-pay-
ing pro basketball career to gamble
his athletic future on baseball.
The skyscraping moundsman ex-
planned his decision this way:
Il wanted to prove to myself
that I could or couldn't play big
league baseball"
He won Is and lost ID for a
weak-hitting Rochester team last
season. Some experts said he had
the best fast ball in the IL last
season and also owns a good slid
er.
Dicks teammate, Gibson, was
also a double-figure winner last
season. The former Creighton uni
versity, (omaha, Neb) basketball
and baseball star has been i'm
pressive in spring training outings
GOUeyS n Future SIar
Durham, a light hitter. might
stay with the Cardinals as a utili-
ty player. He plays first and out
field, last season was with Roches-
ter.
Gotey, with a 1923 minor league
batting record is regarded as the
Cardinals shortstop of the future.
He will probably be farmed out to
one of the teams high minor
league affiliates.
How the Cardinals outfield ev-
entually shapes up depends on
Flood. Curt, a 21-year-old defen-
sive genius, had a remarkable hit
ting streak in May and June. Then
MI pitchers caught up with him.
His hitting dropped from 1888 to
.261 by seasons end. The wiry
Flood, however, has power, belted
10 home runs last season.
If he can overcome whatever
weakness he exhibited at the plate
last season, there is no doubt who
will play centerfield for the Red
Birds.

prospects Of major league teams
and their tan players.)
BY BILL BROWER
Chicago (ANP) - The st. Louis
Cardinals, a distinct disappoint-
ment last season Finishing in a
tie for fifth place in the National
League race) are out this season
to prove it isn't so. The Cards
maintain they are not that bad.
The Redbirds, once a MI power,
haven't won a pennant since 1915.
First, the erstwhile Brooklyn bod
gers, now demonstrating in Los
Angeles, took over the dominant
role in the senior league. Now the
seat of power is Milwaukee.
st. Louis conceivably might have
given the Braves a harder run for
it's money in the 1858 campaign,
had the Cardinals given Sam
Jones, the curveballing righthand-
err, more support. Jones, the strike
out leader in the majors, was the
hardluck pitcher, the victim Of an
uncommon number of close decis-
ions.
But Jones will not be around
with the Cardinals when the sea-
son gets under way next month.
He was traded to the San Fran
cisco Giants in exchange for first
baseman Bill White and third
sacker, Ray Jablonsld.
That certainly is a pity, of
course. Jones won IA games and
lost Is in 1858. He struck out 225
batters in $50 innings and COM
piled an earned run mark of 2.SS.
What's more, Sam seems to have
curbed the wildness which plagued
him throughout his career.
