Labor FaVors
Big TaxCut
BY NORMAN WALKER
Associated Press Labor Writer

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. %
The AFL-CIO proposed to-
day q much quicker tax cut
than President Kennedy has re-
commended, plus a big boost
In Government spending, to
avoid q feared new recession.
The federation's executive
council politely patted Mr..
Kennedy on the back in a sheaf
of economic policy statements,
but said his programs lack
enough impact to jolt the
economy into more widespread
prosperity.
In essence, the labor chiefs
called for condensing President
Kennedy's net $40 billion pro-
posed tax cut over the next
three years into an immediate
reduction of that amount, re-
troactive to January /.
They complained that the
Kennedy program. If enacted.
would reduce taxes less than
SO billion during the current
year.
WOrded Cautiously
The labor listing of alleged
administration shortcomings
in the economic field was eau
tiously worded.
George Meany, AFL-CIO
president, and Walter Reuther,
the federation's economic
policy leader. have privately
agreed. however, to seek an
early White House date with
Mr.. Kennedy to convey more
firm view directly to the Presi-
dent.
Business has generally urged
reduced taxes. but has coupled
this goal with a demand for
a sharp pairing Of Govern
ment expenditures.
The union leaders said a new
recession is threatening this
year-the fifth since World War
II - unless the government
primes the economy's purchas-
ing power.
Plan Held Inadequate
The council statement said
the Kennedy tax cut plan may
temporarily curb adverse eco
nomic trends but 1t Is alto
gether inadequate TO reduce
the large gap between sales
and the economy's increasing
ability TO produce"
Mr.. Meany told newsmen
the labor program was con-
sistent with Mr.. Reuther's re-
cent proposal 10 cut taxes by
$40 billion by reducing weekly
payroll deducations by $3.50 a
person.
This was not mentioned.

gram. AS unfurled today. II
would split the first income
tax bracket by applying q re-
duced IL per cent rate 10 the

Beyond that. the labor tax

UsM To Close
Home Season
This Weekend

HATTIESBURG - Southern
Mississippi Coach Pie Vann is
confident his charges will "pick
themselves up" after last weeks
upset loss to Louisiana Tech. He
is also certain the SouthernerS
will have a busy time getting
ready for Saturdays final home
game, against The Citadel.
1.-THE Citadel uses so many Of
fensive set-upS that we will have
to spend considerable time get
ting ready for them, and you
can rest assured we will devote
a lot of time to the old funda-
mentals of football = blocking
and tackling," he said. Off the
field the SouthernerS will be con-
centrating on fall quarter final
exams.
Concerning the mental attitude
of his players, Vann said: "Af-
ter they looked at the film of
the Louisiana Tech game Mon
day, it was evident they realized
they had done a poor job Of exc
cutting their fundamentals and
assignments. | am confident that
served as enough warning that
the same thing could happen to
them again unless they get pre-
pared"
After averaging 224 yards per
game rushing through six games,
the Southerners couldn't do any
better than Al against Louisiana
Tech. They bettered their pass
ing Overage by some 80 yards
but six Of their seven compile
tons came after Tech had
scored its points.
Tech didn't amass a great
amount of rushing and passing
yardage, either. The total of 125
yards fell short of Southern's
average yield (149.5). Tech
scored on a field goal and a punt
return.
The Southerners came out OF
the game in good physical shape
except for guard Nick Kolinsky,
who suffered a leg injury late
in the game. If the injury re-
spends to treatment, the 23O-
pound senior should be ready
for at least part time duty
against The Citadel.

HydrOnauts Train Divers
Jake Lindgren, HydronautS
President, notes that the winter
training session is underway
with nine divers registered for
the class room sessions. Lind
gren stated that training is free
to club members and applica-
tons are being taken.
The club meets Mondays from
z to 9 pm. in the 18th Street
civil Defense Headquarters
Building. The building is locat-
ed two blocks North of ingalls,
Avenue.
Male and female members
are being solicited. Minors over
IA are being accepted subject to
parental approval. In wat e r
training is scheduled for early
spring and will be coordinated
with rescue team training.
Lindgren noted that the Hy-
dronauts are also members of
PaScagoula'S civil defense ef-
fort under the direction of city
director Marcus B. Dalton. Lind
gren said that the HydronautS
are incorporated under MiSSis-
sippi law as a non-profit organi-
zation and is dedicated to COM
munity service.
Diving Safety
A very wise man once said,
"The Divers worst enemy Is the
diver himself. The truth of
this statement is borne out by
the statistics developed by ma
tional groups concerned wit h
water sports safety. This group
has found that 95 per cent Of
all diving accidents can be
traced directly to human error.
Panic is the biggest killer of
divers and far outranks other
dangers of the deep. Training
by experienced instructors re-
mains as the only aSwer to
the diving accident. Trained di-
vers have been thoroughly brief
ed in all areas of possible
danger.
Parents, in particular, should
make certain that their young
sters are properly trained in the
art Of skin and scuba diving
and the correct choice of driving
equipment. Consumers demand
the best in cars and household
equipment. The same yardstick
applies to diving equipment.

Can Be First OBJ
To Win Rushing Crown

NEW YORK (UPl) - When
experts sagely labeled this the
''year of the quarterbacks,"
they didn't expect it to 60 this
far: The boys under the center
are leading the country in pass
ing, naturally, and total offense,
which figured.
But they're also on top in
punting, which is a surprise,
have been among the leaders
all year in kickoff runbacks,
place kicking and scoring,
which is a bigger surprise and
now, of all things, threaten to
take over the country in rush
ing, too.
Today'S NCAA Service Blu
reau statistics show Gale Say
ers leading the rusherS and he,
predictably, is a halfback. But
wait a minute! Right behind
Sayers, in good position to
overhaul the leader, is Jimmy
Sidle of Auburn and he is a
T-quarterback. Sayers has a II
yard lead over Sidle and one
game to play (Missouri. Sidle
has two games to play FLORIDA
State and Alabama) and is the
only one of the rushing leaders
who has been averaging more
than 100 yards per game.
If Sidle comes through, he
will be the first rushing cham
pion in history who wasn't a
halfback or fullback. In fact, a
quarterback has never so much
as contended for the title.
Don Trull, Baylor quarter
back, is the leader in passing
and total offense, and the punt
ing leader is SINUS Danny
Thomas, another quarterback.
Trulrs sprint to the top in
passing also puts him in sight
of a couple of records. His 1860
air yards leaves him 145 short
Of the major record Of zoos by
Nevada'S Stan Heath in 1948
and he's only II compilations
short of the all-time record of
159 by Don Klosterman for Los
Angeles Loyola in 1851. With
two more games, Trull seems
certain to knock over both rec
ordS since he's averaged 1925
yards and us compilations per
outing.
A new challenger scared UP
to mildly threaten Trull's hold
in passing. He's Utah States
Bill MunS0n, who also holds the
distinction Of being the only
thrOwer who's fired more than
101 times with fewer than three
interceptions. But Munson has
only one game to play and the
real threat = if any = to Trull
is Miami, Florida's George
Mira, who has three games left
(Trull has two) to make up a
36 completion deficit.
Likewise in total offense,
leader Trull, fourth place Jack
Concannon of Boston College,
fifth place Sidle and eighth
ranked Henry Schichtle Of
Wichita all have two games
left, while 10th ranked Mira
has three.
Oregon States Gordon Queen,
21st on the competitions ladder,
has fired 16 touchdown passes,
two more than anyone else and
more than anyone has thrown

mails of the NFL), who flipped

Tech-A|abama
Series To End

ATLANTA (UPD - It's just
as well that the football rivalry
between Alabama and Georgia
Tech comes to an end next
year.
The series between these two
perennial Southern powers has
been one Of the really great
ones during the more than 50
years of its existence. But,
The chronicle., 1963-11-20

more and more, it has degen-
Grated into a grudge match.
At the time he announced
1864 would be the last game. at
least for the time being, Techs
Bobby Dodd insisted that hard
feelings b between the two
schools had nothing to do with
the decision.
But this thing has been brew
ing for so long, it seems that
sooner or later things might
pop wide open at a game be-
tween these two.
There's been an underlying
feud for years over charges
that Alabama was recruiting
athletes that Georgia Tech had
to sidestep for academic rea-
sons.
Techs Complaints
1t seems that most OF the
complaining has come from the
Tech side.
In 1860, after Alabama came
from behind in the closing Sec
onds with field goal to beat
Tech 1915, there were howls
that the key pass which set up
the field goal went t Ga man
who had stepped out of bounds.
The next year, 1861, was the
year of the highly publicized
Darwin Holt-Chick Graning in
cident in which Holt, an Ala
bama linebacker, crushed the
jaw Of Graning, a Tech half
back, with an arm smash. Ala
bama officials ignored Tech de-
mandS that Holt be disciplined.
Last year, when Tech upset
high-ranking Alabama 7-6 and
broke the Crimson Tides 27-
game unbeaten string, there
were few penalties but Tech
end Ted Davis was thrown out
of the game for protesting an
officials call to vehemently.
Reaction This Year
This was the same Davis who
this year left the squad after
kicking an Auburn player.
Many persons feel that Davis
would not have had to miss the
last five games of this season if
Tech had not been so accusing
after the Holt-Graning episode
two years ago.
This past Saturday, Alabama
beat Georgia Tech 27-11 by
stopping fourth period Tech
drive and then scoring two
touchdowns in the closing min
uteS.
On the field, it was a clean,
hard-fought contest. But Tech
supporters felt they had gotten
the short end again. They insist
that fullback Jimmy Barber did
indeed make a crucial first
down on a 4th-and-one play at
the Alabama "a. They insist
that proper placement Of the
football by the official would
have given the Engineers, be-
hind 14-11 at that point, the
first down and the lift to carry
them to victory.
That's the way its been 60
ing. It's hard to see how con-
tinuing the series could result
in other than a worsening of re-
lationS between the two schools.
But it has been one of the ma
tons most noteworthy series
and it is a shame that a con-
ciliation could not have been
reached before things got out Of
hand.
