Army Athletes
WASHINGTON Hi' Bouse in
vestigators are awaiting, an Army
report on Billy Martin, former
New York Yankees second base
man who says that because of his
athletio prowess he has received
treatment "more severe than that
of my fellow soldiers."
Chairman Hess (R-Ohio or a
Bouse armed services subcommit
tee said Monday he has asked Sec
retary of the. Army Stevens to
check whether Martin has been
subjected to discrimination.
The subcommittee earlier this
month probed reports the Army
was coddling ctar athletes. Martin
was one of 10 sports stars involved
in its investigation.
Replying to a subcommittee in
vitation to testify, Martin wrote
Bess that he wanted "to make
certain facts pertaining to my Ar
my duty clear to you and the
committee." Be said he didn't want
the letter "Interpreted as a com
plaint or bellyaching" but contend
ed that:
"Since my induction into the Ar
my on March t, 1964; I have re
ceived no preferential treatment
whatsoever. Quite to the contrary
my treatment has in fact on oc
casions seemed to be more .severe
than that of my fellow soldiers."
Martin wrote that be was barred
from trying out for a post base
ball team at Ft. Ord, Calif., and
had fewer off-post passes while in
training camp "because I was an
ex-New York ball player."

ui an ordinance requiring property
owners who move houses to supply
thr building inspector with a list
of things to be done, and a bond
obligating themselves to complete
the work to conform with the city
building code, ,'
The suggestion followed a report
from a council committee, which
recommended that the three
buildings on Wendllng, and the
building to the rear of the Ala

The buildings are owned by Mra.
