Leaird, Ft Lauderdale, and Pearce, Palatka, said the measures had been sent to the Committee on State Institutions by Pres. Charley Johns when they felt they should have gone to the Committ€€ on Education. Leaird said jt wouldn’t do any good for the Council and its re- search staff to make a long study, file recommendations with the Legislature, introduce bills and then never get the measures on the calendar for debate. “Unless we can gt these bills out on thi re wasting our time,” he declared. The measures, and one to give the Board of Control an educa- tional consultant in an effort to cut down academic duplication and competition between the white col- | "0 leges, were the outgrowth of the Council’s most recent study. The Council during the past, sev- eral years has made numerous recommendations for revising the governmental structure and chang- ing the educational and welfare systems but its proposals frequent- ly have run out of steam when they reached the bill stage. Members asked Director Sher- man’ Weiss of the Council's ref- erence bureau to furnish them with progress reports on the bills so they can keep up with them and see that they are brought to the floor for action, Rep.

By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sportswriter Are the Cleveland Indians suf- fering from an incurable case of Yankeephobia? Is it true that the mere thought of Casey Stengel’s crew scares the living daylights out of the otherwise dangerous tribe? Probably not. But the time for the Indians to eliminate such sus- Picions is fleeting rapidly. They come into Yankee Stadium tonight for the first of a two-game series, If they blow the opener most folks probably will advise them to go back to their Ohio camping grounds and wait for an- other season, even though there .|are 20 more New York-Cleveland clashes this. summer. —_ Losing to the Yankees is an old, and undesirable habit, of the In- dians. It has been many moons nd eight long seasons since Cleve- land won more games than it lost with New York. The tribal witchdoctors may have a really big job ahead of them because there are indications the 1953 Yankee hex may be even more widespread than in the past. Last night the Indians stopped off at their friendly wigwam on Lake Erie for a singlé game with Chicago. They had swept a three- game series with the improved St. Louis Browns. They owned a mi- nute percentage edge over the sec- ond-place New Yorkers. A clear victory would have sent them on in to New York with a chance to hold that lead even if they only broke even in the two games, It didn’t work out that way. The same Sox who bowed to Bob Lem- on on a single nit on opening day collected eight against him last night and won the game, 2-1.
