b.o. Olympic cumuiniet: uau
cudJiipion miler wun utauy
juinea Gen. uuugui Macm
lnur touay in aepionng tne
latest outurea 01 Hostilities
between uie jmCaA and tne
wuson urged that MacAr
thur call tne opposing siues
toeiher "in uie very aear iu
lue" to tureslau anoiner
liacii "war" uiai wouiu wean-t-u
uie U. a. team lur lis uual
meet against itussia in Mos
cow next month.
The Olympic leader said in
Chicago that the current dis
pute "apparently has come
out of a difierencc of inter
pretation of Gen. MacArthur's
March 12 ruling" when the
iive-star general first medi
ated the AAU-NCAA squabble
over control of track meets.
Beatty asked the warring
factions to discontinue their
feud because "it would be a
shame if this summer in Mos
cow the men's track and field
team of Russia defeated the
V. S. men's team for the first
time."
The latest eruption was
caused by the Eastern Collegi
ate Athletic conference
(ECAC) announcement Mon
day that member schools
should not participate in
AAU-sanctioned track meets
unless sponsors of these events
obtained sanctions from the
U.S. Track and Field federa
tion, a wing of the NCAA.
This immediately produced
an outburst from MacArthur,
since a new war could prevent
NCAA athletes from compet
ing in the AAU championships
at St. Louis June 21-22. With
out USTFF sanction, many of
the nation's outstanding col
lege track stars .would shun
the event that selects mem
bers for the meeting against
Russia in Moscow.
"I am reluctant to believe
that either of these groups, di
rectly or indirectly, intend to
abrogate their given word to
the detriment of their country
and the athletes whose activ
ities they control," MacArthur
said in a statement that urged
a halt to the new flareup.
Angry AAU officials
charged the NCAA with re
neging on the agreement that
MacArthur hammered out
early this year.
The AAU maintained that
MacArthur's ruling under this
agreement gave it sole sanc
tioning power in the United
States for open track and field
competition.
Some NCAA officials, how
ever, never accepted that edict
because it failed to grant the
USTFF's proposal for dual
track meet sanctions.

Attention Called To Mailers in Area
The Medford Chamber of
Commerce has called atten
tion to the flood of mailers
from Western States Claim
Adjusters offering name brand
coffee at reduced rates per
case and detergent and soap
at reduced rates.
A check of prices noted in
the mailers, according to Don
McNeil, manager of the cham
ber, has been made by the Los
Angeles Better Business
Bureau. The prices were
found to be unrealistic and
persons responding to the ad
vertisement have had theif or
ders returned marked "sold
out."
The mailings continue, how
ever, and as far as the Better
Business Bureau is able to
ascertain there is no coffee
and no soap.
Alan Hofberg and Norman
Best, copartners doing bust
ness as Hobart Steel Co. and
Western States Claim Adjust
ers, have consented to a Fed'
eral Trade Commission order
prohibiting them from using
false offers of employment
and deceptive pricing, the in

chamber of commerce here

Duncan Expresses
Interest in Study
In a letter to Maj. Gen.
Jackson Graham, director of
civil works for the Army
corps of engineers. Washing'
ton, D.C., Rep. Robert B.
Duncan has expressed interest
in current studies being made
by the bureau of reclamation
and corps to increase tne
minimum flow of water in
Bear creek.
The studies concern the
possibility of exchanging wa
ter from Lost creek and Elk
creek reservoirs to the Green-
springs or Talent project to
make the increase. '
In this respect, Dunca
stated that local communities
are taking an interest
cleaning up Bear creek in the
interest of pollution abate

GRADUATES Dorothy
Brown, 1957 "Nature Girl,
is now a graduate of Women's
College at Greensboro. N.C
and plans next fall to begin
teaching career. She is
shown above when, at the age
of 16, Tom McKnieht. a
Mooresvllle, N.C, newspaper
man saw her and a photo
grapher captured her natual
beauty on film, and the pic
ture was distributed all over
the country. Dorothy, one of
nine children of Mr. and Mrs,
Albert C. Brown, who lived
a hand - to mouth existence
near Moorseville, was made
McKnight's ward. Later a

career and being "somebody.'
Dorothy s success story goes
back to a hot day in August
of 1957. On that day, Moores
vllle newspaperman Tom Mc-
Knight and photographer
captured her natural beauty
on film as the girL who be
came known as "Long Sam,"
after the cartoon character,
stood beside a mountain
stream.
In National Spotlight
McKnight was responsible
for national distribution of the
picture and later the Char
lotte Observer ran a Sunday
feature on the backwoods girl
which was picked up around
the country and overseas.
Dorothy suddenly found her
self pushed into a national
spotlight before a sometimes
unbelieving public.
Dorothy was one ot nine
children of Mr. and Mrs. Al
bert C. Brown who lived a
hand-to-mouth existence near
Mooresvllle, The couple with
drew Dorothy from school
when she was 14 to help take
care of the other children and
to do part time work in the
area as a babysitter.
"There were lots of skeptics
then and I suppose there are
now," Dorothy recalled after
graduating from Woman s col
lege here.
"We did live In destitute
circumstances and there were
times when we didn't have
anything to eat. You can't be
gin to imagine what it was
like to live like we did unless
you've experienced a similar
existence," she said.
Appointed Guardian
After his discovery, Mc
Knight was appointed the
young girl's guardian and
later - an elderly Charlotte
philanthropist paid $730 a
year toward her education at
Wingate Junior college where
she crammed four years of
courses into two years before
transfer to Woman's college.
' At the time Dorothy said
"You've got to have an edu
cation to be somebody."
She still stands by her de
sire to be somebody. "I still
want to be somebody, not
necessarily somebody special,
but a person who is worth
while and who can help others
In some way."
This fall, Dorothy will be
gin teaching on the elemen
tary level in the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg county school
system.
'Tell all those people who
have written to me or have
helped me along with their
good wishes how appreciative
I am ot what has been able
to happen to Dorothy Brown,"
she told reporters shortly
I after her graduation Sunday.

Power Sought To
Curb Fraudulent
Stock Practices
Washington - IUPII - The Se
curities and Exchange Com
mission has asked Congress
to arm it with "vitally need
ed" powers to crack down on
fraudulent practices in the
sale of securities.
The request grew out of the
agency's recent stock market
study, the most intensive since
the investigation which fol
lowed the 1929 crash.
Among other things, the
SEC proposed tighter control
and more rigid policing of se
curities not listed with any
of the major stock exchanges.
These firms also would be
required to disclose financial
information and would be
subject to other regulations
now applicable only to ex
change members.
Under another recommenda

SEC Chairman William L.
Cary, in a letter accompany
ing the legislative package,
said the recommendations
stressed "those measures
which both the commission
and the securities industry re
gard as constructive and vi
tally needed."
He said they would "mate
rially increase existing inves
tor protection, and thus will
maintain and enhance inves
tor confidence."
Cary said he did not know
whether the securities nidus
try "as a whole will support
our proposals." But he said
they had the endorsement of
leaders of major securities organizations.
He said that requiring over-
the-counter firms to disclose
financial information "will
greatly mitigate numerous
problems and abuses, includ
ing improper selling practices,
irresponsible investment ad
vice and erratic 'after mar
kets' for new Issues."
The SEC made these other I
recommendations aimed at
closer regulation of unlisted
stocks: '
-Provisions in the exchange
act intended to prevent com-1
pany "insiders" from using j
their positions for speculative
purposes would be extended
to the over-the-counter com-,
panies. j
-Persons in the securities
business who arc mombcrs of
the boards of directors of un- t
listed firms would be required j
to file reports with the SEC
covering their activities.
The SEC would be allow
ed to suspend summarily over-the-counter
trading In any se
curity for a 10-day period. It
now has this power over listed
securities.
The SEC said present laws
do not provide "an adequate
basis for establishing reason
able controls over the quali
fications of those who seek
to enter the securities busi
ness." It recommended legislation
which would require all bro
kers or dealers registered with
commission to become
