After Garry Back was "left"
in the champagne. it was noted
that the colts mother. Joppy,
was famous for refusing to
break from the starting gate.
Price was asked If this trait
ran in the family.
II don't know" he replied,
but I got q horse that keeps
me waking up at all hours of

Back, poking his head out of

singing the song, My nanny

Carry Backs daddy also is
q notable one. In 1948, Citation,

and $7Os.47O. He was second
in the Chesapeake Trial at
Havre de Grace, upset by
Saggy on a muddy track, in his
only defeat that year.
Saggy is the sire of Carry
Back, and Price elaborates:
THE man that had Joppy
owed me $3.50. Finally he said
for another $3.50 I could have
Joppy."
Price took the mare, and en-
route to Florida stopped of at
the Country Life Farm, Bel Air,

AFL LFeudinq
With NCAAon
Date Of Draft

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 26
(AP).-The policy-making body
of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association was rebuffed
yesterday in its attempt to find
out when the new American
Football League plans to draft
players of the Nations cam
puseS.
Walter ByerS, executive Sec
retary of the NCAA, said the
l8-member NCAA Council asked
AFL Commissioner Joe FoSs the
dates of the AFL draft and
received a telegram stating:
Our draft date should be
no concern Of yours as long as
professional football complies
with the established regulations
which you have indicated you
approve. The setting Of our
draft meeting dates is a deci-
sion to be made by the Amer
ican Football League"
Foss later told the AsSoci-
ated Press the draft would be
late in December.)
NFL Draft December 27
Byers said the draft date in
formation was needed so the
NCAA'S 55O-member schools
could be advised. The associa-
ton bans players from COM
peting in any sport--and post
season bowl games-if they sign
a professional contract or a
commitment to turn profess
Sional.
The National Football
League. Byers said, will draft
December 81, well after the
season ends. but before the
major bowl games.
He wired Foss for the AFL
dates when he learned the Los
Angeles Chargers had sent out
a form letter stating the
leagues first draft will be Oc-
tober 26.
Foss replied that report was
erroneous. He also told Byers
to disregard the tentative draft
dates Of December 1923 which
he had sent him earlier.
Serious Problem
I'VE haven't suggested when
the AFL should draft" Byers
declared at a press confer
ence," but the council feels
this is a most serious prob
lem"
He said the 18-member
group feels strongly the AFL
should show "a minimum of
courtesy" by notifying it of the
draft dates.
Byers pointed out the coun-
Gil last August demanded that
the two professional football
leagues state their policy to-
ward acquiring college ath-
leteS. ,
Of1icials from both leagues
asserted they would abide by
long-standing NCAA policies
in signing players.
In Dallas. Foss said he had
proposed that professional
football agree on a rule that
would prohibit signing of play
ers until their college eligibility
is completed.

an agreement which ends next
year. The pact calls for Bowie
to run all of its 40 days at
the start Of the year, while
Pimlico and Laurel split their
dates between the spring and
fall. Livie said the commission
could change the dates, but has
decided not to do so as long
as the three tracks want to
live up to 1t.
MacPhail made his state
ment before a special State
legislative committee yester-
day. Nov we've got hslf-mile

he said. But, he noted, the
three l-mile tracks produce the
bulk Of revenues to the State
from racing.
Costs More In Maryland
THE way conditions are in
Maryland" he continued, II
don't believe you can operate
a breeding farm on a profita-
bic basis. It costs more in
Maryland than in surrounding
States because of the split
racing dates and short meet

The complaint from the
Guild was in the form of a
letter to the committee from
Bert Thompson. managing di-
rector Of the jockey associa-
tion.
"He called the quarters at

For inferior Officers

Hearings in behalf of military off,
GERS on the So-called inferior retired
list" of the Army, Navy and Air Force
will begin tomorrow before the House
Armed Services Committee. Under con-
sideration will be an administration
approved bill to correct a provision of
the 1858 Military Pay Act which, in eff
feet, created two classes of retired off,
cers-the privileged and the underpriv-
ileged. The privileged are those who
have retired since June /, 1858, or who
hereafter will retire, and the under
privileged are the off1cers-moSt of them
combat veterans-who retired prior to
that date.
Under the discriminatory 1858 pro-
vision, the traditional relationship be-
tween active duty and retired pay scales
was abandoned in the case of officers
retired before the arbitrary deadline.
This group, known at the Pentagon as
the inferior retired list" received fiat
6per cent increase in retired pay, instead
of the larger increases granted the more
recently retired under the customary
pay system. President Eisenhower has
asked Congress to eliminate this dis
elimination, retroactively, in the interest
not only of fair play for the officers
affected but Of relieving fears of active
officers that the traditional system may
be further curtailed in the future. Con-
greSS should rectify its 1858 mistake as
soon as practicable.

Motter of Muscles

President Eisenhower has once again
had something to say about one of his
favorite Subjects-the fitness of Amer
ican youth. AS he has reminded his
latest news conference, he has been
alarmed and depressed by studies show
ing that our boys and girls compare
poorly with Europes boys and girls in
muscular strength and f1exibility. An
other disturbing fact is that physical
deficiencies require the rejection of a
very high percentage of our young men
drafted for military service.
Why is this so? In the Presidents
words, Americans do not deliberately
want to be soft, but scientific and tech
nological advances-involving a great
outpouring of labor-saving devices
have inSidiouSly lessened the physical
activity of all of us. young and old alike.
The automobile, for example, has made
walking lost art among us, and auto
nation and gadgetry have liberated"
our muscles from a wide variety of

ments at both work and play. Moreover,
far too many Of our children engage
only in spectator sports, and in our
especially because Of the trafhc
menace-they rarely ride bicycles, which
offer one Of the finest forms of exercise.
These conditions do not as yet pre-
vail in most countries abroad BY way
of Illustration, the bicycle still is major
instrument of transportation and pleas
ure in Western Europe. Indeed. even
though they must cope with automobile
traffic about as tough as ours, many of
the big cities over there have special
cycling roadways that are very we'll used,
all to the advantage of public health.
We would do well in our own country,
as the President has suggested, to build
similar facilities. We would do well, too,
to pay more positive attention in other
ways to the diSconcerting studies that
have moved him to call repeatedly for
action to encourage our young people
not to let their muscles atrophy through

Mr.. K. Leaves Paris

With Nikita KhruShchev back home
in Moscow, it seems safe to say that his
Paris visit has done nothing to preju-
dice the outlook for the summit confer
ence, beginning May 16. This, however,
is about all that can be said of the
KhruShchev journey.
At times it looked as though the
Soviet Premier were giving the thunder
and-lightning treatment to summit
hopes. This was especially true of his
outSpoken attacks on Chancellor Ade-
nauer and his obvious efforts to drive a
wedge between the French and their
West German allies. There was also
some apprehension that Frances second
nuclear explosion, coinciding with the
Khrushchev visit, might produce spec
tacular blow-up on the Russians part.
At the end, however, none of these fears
had materialized. In his remarks upon
leaving Paris, as well as upon arriving
in Moscow, Mr.. Khrushchev's manner
was that of reasonable man reason
ably well satisfied with the results of his
effort.
AAJ OAAO SAOuh VI dlly
remained on the PARISH Moscow horizon,
and that was Mr.. Khrushchev's reiter-
ated threat to sign a separate peace
treaty with the East Germans. If he
should be forced" to do this, he said,
the East German government will have
sovereign rights on its territory and "all
rights of the occupying powers will lose
their validity" Our State Department
was quick to reject this, contending
that the rights of the Western powers
cannot be unilaterally abrogated. Still,
in this matter, and especially in the
matter of free access to West Berlin, Mr..
KhruShchev and his East German pup
pets hold the high cards. They can
make life miserable for us if they want
to do it.
