Teen Neffer Draws Slap I For Actions NEW YORK (AP) Charles (Chuck) McKinlcy, 19. the na tion's fourth ranked tennis play er, is not thinking of turning pro at this time even though he has been suspended by the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association for his racket throwing in the Davis Cup inter- tone finals at Perth, Australia. The t St. Louis, Mo., player, America's chief Davis Cup hope now that Barry Mackay and Earl Buchholz have turned pro, was suspended Thursday by USLTA President George E. Barnes and the organization's Rules Commit tee. How long the suspension lasts depends on what the Execu live Committee does when it meets in New Orleans Feb. 4. "No one from the USLTA con- . tacted me or gave me any formal ' notification," said McKinley in St. Louis. "And I don't know what the charges against me are, ei . ther: I still hope to play tennis . and 1 intend to keep in shape. "The U.S. Indoor Tournament begins Feb. 9 (in New York) and ' maybe the Executive Committee ; will see fit to let me play when it meets' the preceding week. But , I have no thought of turning pro 'ml this time." , The lengthy statement issued by the USLTA didn't specify the ex .act charges against McKinley ei ther. But an association spokes . man left no doubt that it was the racket-throwing incident after Mc Kinley and Buchholz lost to the v Italians in the doubles at Perth that prompted the suspension. ; 1 The decision was made, Barnes said, because McKinley "acted in . a way detrimental to the welfare .of the game" while in Australia as a member of the U.S. team Barnes added that McKinley's auspension was concurred in by . David L. Foed, nonplaying cap- : tain of the team.

Es tcs Kefauver, D-Tenn said to day the enlargement of baseball's major leagues adds to the need for a new federal law to require wide scale annual player drafts Congress will reconvene Tues day. Kefauver said he will intro duce a bill to allow any major league to keep not more than 40 players exempt from being draft ed to other clubs in an annual post season draft. "The advent of new teams in the American and National leagues makes this all the more needed," Kefauver told a report er. He added that it would per mit weaker clubs to build their power and thus provide better competition. He said he believes the experi ences of the two new American League clubs in Washington and Los Angeles in recruiting players for the start of play next spring will make the bill more popular in Congress than it was earlier this year when the Senate shelved it Two new National League clubs don't plan to start play until 1962.
