ie.id which could result in
UCLA, California and Southern
California marching out of th
loop.
Assistant Commissioner Ber
nard Hammerbeck said Sunday
that the first official announce
ment of the live day meeting
would be made tonight
Reporters who tried a little
button holing Sunday left with
several statements which indi
cated that the sessions may be
more harmonious than expected
' Schedule Adjustments Possible
O Al Masters, athletic director
of Stanford who earlier had said
that he considered the much
maligned round robin schedule
as binding through 1960, de
clared that some adjustments
might be made by the confer-
-ence.
Another college official who
preferred to stay anonymous
said that the tenor of Sunday's
first get-together was such that
the loop might not fly apart.
And a spokesman for Idaho said
the Vandals do not intend to
, leave the PCC
There had been reports that
-Idaho, which does not play a
-full PCC schedule, might be
thumbed out of the loop to ap
pease the Los Angeles schools
, threatening secession
Hammerbeck said that "there
would be no expulsion" at this
session because it had not been
entered on the agenda.
He also said that any school

Neuberger Sees
Renewed Effort
Portland (tpi Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.), predicted
here today that the present ill
ness of President Eisenhower
will bring about a renewed drive
to enact a constitutional amend
ment providing for mid-term
elections, in the event there is a
succession to the presidential of
fice. Neuberger said he had intro
duced in the Senate earlier this
year a constitutional proposal el
iminating the anti-third term
limitation, after President Eisen
hower himself questioned the
wisdom of restricting a presi
dent's tenure in the White House.
Neuberger's proposal also in
cludes a mid-term election when
ever a vice president enters the
first two years of a president's
term.
"This is merely applying the
sensible Oregon system of elect
ing governors to the far greater
position of the American presi
dency," Neubergers aid. "No per
son succeeding to the Oregon
governorship can occupy that
-post beyond the next election."

Three ckools Penalized
Southern California and
UCLA were heavily penalized
in 1956 as the upshot of disclo
sures they had been giving ex
cessive aid to their football
players. Washington also was
penalized but the Bruins were
banned from the Rose Bowl un
til after June of 1959. The Tro
jans and Huskies come out of
the doghouse next June.
California, which also was
fined a straight $25,000, then
worked out a five-point plan
last summer with its sister
UCLA which they want the
PCC to adopt. Point five, the
big one, calls for free schedul
ing of football games starting
next season. And that remains
a main item to be solved. The
schools warned they might se
cede if it were not.

Chessman Renews
Court Fight for Life
Los Angeles (IP) Convict-author
Caryl Chessman goes back
into court today to take up the
fight for his life in a hearing on
the 1,821-page transcript of his
1948 trial.
The 34-year-old condemned
man who has spent nearly 10
years in San Quentin's death
row, claims the transcript was
fraudulently prepared when the
original court reporter in the
case died.
Before trial recessed last week
for the long Thanksgiving holi
day, Chessman won an admission
from the second reporter who
prepared the transcript that
some changes had been made in
the final version.
But Stanley Fraser, the 63-year-old
reporter who took over
preparation of the transcript aft
er the death of Ernest Perry,
said the changes were made to
make sense of the document.
Chessman, whose authorship
of best sellers has financed his
legal fight, won a hearing on
the transcript before the U.S.
Supreme Court last June.
