HOCKEY Montreal (U.R) The De troit Red Wings, who won the regular season National Hockey league title and then were oust ed in the playoff semi-finals, gained four berths today on the 1936-57 league All-Star team against only two for the Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canad iens. Right wing Gordie Howe, who won his fifth scoring title, and left wing Ted Lindsay of De troit, were picked with Cana diens' center Jean Beliveau on the forward line. Perennial All Stars Red Kelly of Detroit and Doug Harvey of Montreal were on defense. Goalie Glenn Hall of the Red Wings rounded out the six-man "dream team" named by sports w riters and radio and TV broad casters in the six NHL cities. A place on tha first All-Star team is worth $1,000. BREAKS COURSE RECORD Don January blasts out of sand trap and also blasted the 18-hole record for the Desert Inn Country Club in Las Vegas when he came in with a 65 making a total of 143 to lead the field ending the second day of the $35,000 Tournament of Champions. Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper and Jimmy Demaret are tied for second with 145 each. Robbins After 2nd Amateur Title Pinehurst, N.C. 4U.R) Lanky Hillman Robbins Jr., who cele brated his 25th birthday by win ning the medal, set out in match play today in quest of his second straight North and South Ama teur golf title. The young Air Force lieuten ant from Memphis, Tenn., trim med three strokes off par 72 over the long, tricky No. 2 cham pionship course here to win med alist honors in a field of 141. He was the only golfer to whack off more than one stroke and only one other, Keely Grice Jr., of Charlotte, N.C., managed even to beat par. Robbins had 69, Grice a 71. The 7,007-yard layout took its toll of the rest, fraying the field into ragged scores and forcing 16 with horrendous 79s to go into a "sudden death" playoff for the nine remainin gslots in the championship flight of 64. So, counting the playoff, a bad stroke could mean "out" today for 39 golfers. The field will be cut to 32, then to eight with two 18-hole rounds Wednesday.

A Sports Writer rUrQUC ySwjL Vnitei Press New York flJ.R) Barney Ross still was fighting today "for the kids who think I'm a hero." He was always a battler, this round-faced little man from the Chicago ghetto. He proved it often by conquering the poverty which was his birthright, boxing his way to two world champion ships, earning the Silver Star as a Marine sergeant in the Pa cific and then, in the most bitter fight of his life, conquering the dope habit. Now he is fighting to save from censorship several shock NBA All-Stars Defeat Celtics; Square Series Vancouver, Wash.

That, incidentally "Monkey on My Back" is the name of the film soon to be released. It is jargon for one with the habit. Barney had it, bad. "There is one real grating scene which will give you the horrors," he said. "But that's the way it should be. Because, if it does, it just might keep some kid from ever trying the stuff And if we help just one kid it will be worth all the trouble we're having." Barney knows it can be tough enough for some kids without that added handicap because he, too, came up the hard way. Born Bernard Rasofsky, his was a childhood of poverty. It be came worse when, with Barney only 14, his father was shot to death in a holdup. Nine years later, as he progress ed from street fights to the ama teurs and on to the pros, Barney won the lightweight champion ship by defeating tough Tony Canzoneri. A year later he took the welterweight title from Jjm- my McLarnin. His career ended under the hammering fists of Henry Armstrong in 1938. Stayed With Wounded Three years later Barney was in the Marines and then came the night in a shellhole on Guadalcanal which changed the course of his life. Barney "re fused to leave three wounded comrades when orders came to withdraw. When they got them out the next day, the shellhole was ringed with enemy dead, but Barney had numerous shrap nel wounds of the hands and arms as well as a bad case of malaria. But the trouble started when a well-meaning medic gave Bar ney too much morphine. "After that, -if I didn't get it, I'd start aching all over," he recalls somberly. "So I start ed stealing it from the medics." By 1946, he knew he had to do something. The craving had wrecked his home and his life. So Barney turned himself in at a government hospital for drug addicts. "A lot of kids think I'm a hero," he said simply. "I can't let them down." His real world at the moment is in movieland's cutting room. Because Barney Ross wants to help fight the monkey which once perched on his back. .

The government suggestion was sweeping calling for the . dis solution of the IBC and its branches and the removal of IBC officials James D.

The next step in the court procedure will come on May 20 when Judge Ryan will hear oral arguments from both sides in support of their proposals.
