UAR Approves
Temp|eCuttinu

CAIRO, June 3 (AP).-The
United Arab Republic today ac-
cepted a plan to save the Abu
Simbel temples by cutting them
up and moving them in seq
ments from Nile banks to be
flooded by the Aswan high
dam.
The project, to cost $50 mil
lion, calls for reassembly Of the
temples on high ground above
the present site. A rival pro-
posal to cut the temples from
the hillside and float them to
safety would have cost $50 mil
lion.
Information Minister Abdel
Kader Hatem announced the
governments acceptance Of the
piecemeal operation, suggested
| by a six-nation commission of
experts.
He also said he has received
official word "the United States
will indorse the JAR dismant-
ling project under certain tech
nical conditions" which will be
discussed at a meeting Of the
United Nations educational,
scientific and cultural organi-
cations executive council in
Paris Monday.
This meeting Is technically
necessary to approve the Abu
Simbel project, but the deci-
sion Of experts was final for
all practical purposes and bids
will be let after June Is to en-
able the project to get started
this october.
Mr.. Hatem declined to say
exactly how much has been
pledged by the United States,
but said 81 hope that contribu-
ton viii be more than one
third Of the cost"
Unofficial information was
that the United States is pre-.
pared to give the equivalent Of

gressional approval-in blocked

pledges total SIG million.

II they go another, Peru will
pose yet another crucial chal'
lenge to the oft-repeated de-
termination Of the Kenned!
administration to end the agI
Of relationships in Latin Amer
lea.
Peru presented that same
challenge q year ago wheH
the armed forces voided in
decisive national elections
threw out President Manue
Prado. closed congress, and SCI
up a military junta. Tit
United States Immediately sus.
pended diplomatic relations anc
cut off economic and military
aid.
Resumed Relations
In q matter Of weeks, THU
stern tactic had to be dropped
Expected opposition to the new
junta did not materialize. In
August, the United States re-
sumed relations with the en-
trenched government and, dur
ing the following months, grad
ually picked up the broken
threads Of economic and mill
tary aid.
Today the "caretaker" gov
eminent is holding the prom
ised new elections, which were
part Of the face-saving bar
gain for United States recog-
milton. Whether the military
recognizes the results this time
will have q great impact in
Argentina, which is facing the
same test in July, and in Ven
ezuela, where national cleo
tons are scheduled for late
November.
In may ways. the elections
today are q re-run of those
held exactly q year ago. The
same three major presidential
candidates are contesting fol-
power. They present the same
hopes and fears. They are VIC
tor Raul Haya de Ia Tore,
Gen. Manuel Odria and Fer
nando Belaunde Terry.
Danger Lessons
Last year these three ran
only percentage points apart
at the polls. But none received
the necessary one-third plural
ity necessary for election under
the Peruvian constitution. The
small vote of four minor candi-
dates was enough to deny all
of them the precious decimal
point necessary for victory.
That particular danger is less
present today. Under the new
electoral law Of the junta, only
one additional candidate out
side the leading three has
been able to qualify. He /:
Mario Samame Boggio, a leftist
candidate, who is not consid-
cred likely to pull enough votel
to prevent a clear-cut victory
by one of his opponents.
The greater danger Is tina

Out Of fear Of what this
APRA hold on the powerful
congress would mean, the mill
tary leaders pressed charges Of
electoral fraud and ousted the
conservative Prado government.
That government, In fact, had
run candidates in league with
APRA during the election.
But this time the military
cannot fall back on charges Of
fraud. They themselves have
cleansed the electoral rolls and
are enforcing the new rules.
The 2,030,000 eligible voters to-
day compared with 100000
last year, all have the stamp
Of military legitimacy. And, like
q monotonous ritual over the
past few months, the governing
junta has repeatedly pledged
that 1t will abide by their de-
cision.
This pledge has not stopped
q military campaign Of psy-
Geological warfare against
APRA. Only last week, the
junta released a 700-page VOL
ume giving chapter and verse
on the alleged election fraud
last year. The junta also is
gambling that the power Of
example in its Intervention last
year will deter people from vot-
ing for APRA this year.
Gains Popularity
Perhaps the big surprise Of
the campaign has been the in
creasing popularity Of 66-year-
old Gen. Odria, who was die
tator Of Peru from 1913 to
1856. Last year he ran a rela-
lively poor third, but this year
his election Is considered q
real possibility.
BY comparison, the hand
some 51-year-old Mr.. Belaunde
Terry seems to have slipped in
popularity. His cratic at
tempt to spark a revolt after
his election defeat last year
has disenchanted many Of his
former supporters. Further
more, he is the only one Of
the candidates who supported
the military takeover last July,
and he has had some trouble
separating himself from the
unpopular junta.
Despite the barrage Of char
ges thrown to and fro among
all candidates, this campaign
has been in q markedly lower
key than the last one. The
gigantic final rallies sched-
uled for last week were all
suddenly Cancelled in difference
to national mourning over the.
death Of Pope John XIII.
The week before. Gen. Odria
actually campaigned without
incident In the northern prov
ince Of Trujillo, where the
APRA is strongest and where
APRA enemies are seldom toll
Grated.
Peruvian voters are reported
to be visibly apathetic about
the outcome. Despite the mill
tary promises, few seem con-
fident that their vote will be
respected If it goes for APRA.
And United States officials here
visibly shudder over the spec
tire Of another trial Of strength

the future Of democracy in

Owen 10 Quit
Canadian Team

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 7 (AP) -
Steve Owen, Canadian football
coach of the year for 1862. said
yesterday he is not going back
to his Regina team next year.
I'm not going back due to
some things that have come up
and some other commitments
which are closer to home" he
told newsmen.
Owen, in Mobile for the Sen
ior Bowl game, took over as
coach for the Canadian team
in 1861 after it won only one
game the year before. The
team barely missed making the
playoffs in 1861, and then made
the playoffs in 1862.
Owens said he has no definite
plans, although he has a cou-
pie of things in mind"
He was a player, coach and
scout for the New York Giants
of the National Football League
earlier in his career.

That was the only time HornSby ever had

Boiled down, he simply was not a fine

took drink, nor smoked and he couldn't
abide his players abusing themselves thusly
Mostly he couldn't stand mistakes on the
field; mediocrity was a dirty word
He had been so magnificent-seven
times MI batting champion. three times

none at all with any below that figure.

Lands could have countermanded Rog's
orders, perhaps, but it might have been
embarrassing to publicize such a minor
issue. He gazed into Hornsby's bleak eyes
and conceded this point But he never was
to let up on Rog because of his addiction to
the horses
HORNSBY WAS WORTH a fantastic
amount of money-and he earned much
during the days when a dollar was worth
most Of 100 cents. But the bookies put the
arm on him. When he was managing the
Browns when neither Rog nor the Browns
were going anywhere, the phone In the

WN LOSE OR DRAW
There Was No Maverick
Quite Like Hornsby

IN THE WINTER OF 1861 when Casey
stengel made his return to New York as
manager of the Nets, it was marked by
perhaps the most expensive welcoming
party in baseball history The Nets hired
adjoining bathrooms in a famous midtown
hotel, and Casey never was wittier as he
spoke into a microphone and told of his
hopes and plans.
He introduced two of his coaches,
Cookie Lavagetto and Solly Hemus Both
had been big-league managers themselves.
The Nets were backed by fabulous money,
and were intent on spending it. They lured
into the fold as public relations director,
the gifted Tom Meany. And one of the
newly signed talent scouts in attendance
this day was Rogers Hornsby
When the party broke up for the buffet
luncheon, Hornsby carried a plate of food
to a table at which Commissioner Ford
Frick and some of Rog's old newspaper ac-
quaintances were seated One guest re-
marked, "Rog, what are the prospects? I've
never heard of club launched so auspi-
ciously."
Hornsby'S face was impassive His cold
blue eyes swept the table, like a breath of
Arctic air. Probably the greatest pair of
eyes baseball ever has known, incidentally
THE prospects are lousy" Rog said
flatly, Didn't somebody forget this game
is played with ball players?"
THIS WAS THE LATE Rogers Hornsby.
He was nothing If not blunt. He didn't
know how to pull verbal punch. He might
we'll have been the most undiplomatic Of
all baseball figures.
Frick seemed 10 look surprised, al
though he knew better than most of the
guests of Hornsbys frankness. The COM
missioner had danced in attendance, be-
cause in the space Of l2 months Of his
stewardship the majors had expanded TO
10 teams apiece, adding Washington and
Los Angeles in the American League and
New York and Houston to the National.
How about Houston?" a man asked,
Did the Houston club come off any better
than your new team"
Houston" Hornsby drawled "is lousy
too. You don't play baseball with words
and'-with a wave Of hand to embrace
the lavish buffet and bar-"this stuff. You

plete in federation sanctioned
meets and the NCAA has rec
commended that its member
schools limit their competition
and facilities to federation
approved events. The NCAA
has drafted legislation that
would penalize a collegian a
years eligibility in the NCAA
track and field championships
if he completes in an AAU meet
that isn't sanctioned by the
federation.
24-HOur Respite
Three days of preliminary
meetings completed, the NCAA
begins its official business
schedule with a general round
table emphasizing the colleges
part in new federations in track
and field, gymnastics and bas-
ketball.
The convention, dominated
by federation matters, got a
24-hour respite yesterday, when
all developments were of
strictly collegiate nature.
Chief among the reports was
an announcement that the "a
man advisory committee of the
American Football Coaches As
sociation had recommended a
return to free and unlimited
substitution.
Jack Curtice, former STAN
ford coach who heads the ad-
visory group, said the Nations
collegiate coaches, by more
than a 3-to-1 ratio, favored ur1-
limited substitution, which was
ruled out after the 1852 season.
The recommendation goes to
the eight-man NCAA football
rules committee, which will be-
gin its annual meeting in Cor
onado, Calf, January IL.
May Recommend Plan
The coaches also will recon-
mend, Curtice said, that, If un-
limited substitution is unac-
ceptable, a plan be adopted
that would allow free substitu-
ton each time the clock is
stopped.
Curtice refused to speculate
whether the rules committee
would accept the recommended
ton. However, he pointed out
that the sentiment in favor of
a return to unlimited substitu-
ton had jumped from a slight
majority to an overwhelming
vote in two years.
OF those replying to a ques-
tionnaire sent by the advisory
group, unlimited substitution
was favored by sic and opposed
by 1859.
