Action i New Power In Sports By ED SCHOENFEID Copyright, IHJ, by Tribww Publish Inf Company The tedious dispute between the AAU and the NCAA has reduced both to the rank of secondary powers in present ing America's crack amateur athletes in the well-watched arenas of the world. The new power is the Presi dent of the United States. John F. Kennedy already has placed the amateur ath lete in- a vital new international role, and the Federal Government is in global athletics to staypast the "point of no return." The President recognizes athletics as the best universal language, and the athlete is going to grow in stature as the, white-hatted junketeers of sports lose influence. Sources close to the Presi dent have told The Tribune that he applied pressure on the AAU and NCAA to rescue the 1964 Olympic Games team because he felt the conflict involved all the American people.

"The President had no mis givings about risking criti cism of governmental inter- vention when he moved against the AAU and NCAA and enlisted Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur to arbitrate," one source said. "The President truly feels this involves all of the Amer ican people and that it is the President's job to speak for the people, who don't have any one spokesman." The sources see two points which bear on the President's new role in athletics. 1. He already has moved the government very much closer to sports administration, as shown by appointment of Gen.

MacArthur as arbiter until the 1964 Olympics 2. He sees that "something is needed" to insure a stronger liaison between America's other overseas duties and obligations and the image presented by the nation's athletes. Asked if this means present MacArthur compro- Continued Page 28, CoL 1 ti L.

Edmund G.

Brown with "profligate spending and unwarranted extravagance." They characterized the proposed withholding of state income tax as "double taxation" and declared it is "fiscal sleight of hand, designed to cover up a broken promise of no new taxes, and to hide a deficit budget." The resolution came out of the annual convention of the Alameda County Republican Assembly, after State Assemblyman Don Mulford predicted that, the new state budget to be presented by Governor Brown Monday will approximate $3.2 billion. BIGGEST EVER He said It will be the biggest state budget in the history of the United States and declared that the proposed withholding tax would result in the collection of two years' income tax in one year. i The resolution was sharply critical of Assemblyman Robert Crown, Alameda Democrat, for his advocacy of the "trick and device" of the income tax proposal. Crown chairman of the Assembly ways and means committee, was identified as the "financial spokesman for the Brown administration." The resolution, drafted by a committee headed by Charles Hoge and presented by Malcolm Champlin, was adopted by unanimous FIELDS OF CONFLICT Mulford outlined major fields for conflict during the current session of the legisla ture. -He said he will vote against a moratorium on the death penalty; "I am informed by the legislative' counsel that there-can be no such thing as' life imprisonment without possibility of parole," ne sara.

He warned against four bills designed to extend partisan politics to the local level and -give the voting privilege to people who are unable to read or write. "They can only result in political bossism and make the State Capitol a Tam many headquarters, he said. Bills on file to expand welfare and unemployment benefits would bankrupt the state, he declared.

EUROPE ISSUES The Italian spokesman said the final round of talks was devoted mainly to European issues and "ways to get out of the present impasse.

The talks, be said, explored possibilities of continuing the cooperation and development of a united Europe. "The meeting resulted la com plete identity of :tl.3ws -anjf per spectives between and Italy on the miof international problems." The spokesman quoted Fanfani as having told toe. Bruma mat his trip to Washington to confer with President Kennedy two weeks ago has enabled him to see that the identity of British- Italian views coincides with the U.S.-Italian outlook.

Fire which roared through the attie of the former Sather Hotel consumed the middle section of the block long building and injured one man Saturday night Firemen arriving at the three-alarm blaze found Earl E. Bailey groping his way through the dense smoke in the upper story of the building. Bailey, 42, a laborer, was treated for smoke inhalation at Highland Hospital and released. The two-story frame structure on 7th St, occupying the historic Sather block between Market and Myrtle burned fiercely, forcing firemen into a temporary retreat at one time before toe blaze could be "controlled.

But they opened the door for a separate investigating unit by affirming that sergeants, under their job classification schedule, can do investigative work. So Oakland has a group of inspectors investigating homi cides, robberies, morals, checks, frauds, bunco, and grand theft, plus a of sergeants investigating burglary, auto theft, juvenile delinquency, pawnshops, and making general inspections which come under police de partment jurisdiction.

It's the front line for the latest battle in the long, long war between Oakland police chiefs and the department's Inspectors Bureau a battle for which legal artillery will unlimber Monday in the Su perior Court On one side of the line is the "criminal investigation" division of the department, manned by inspectors. On the other side is the "criminal information' section, manned by sergeants Looking through the windowed walls on either side of the corridorTyou couldn't tell them apart. Both groups are busily investigating crimes on only slightly different levels, and the only real difference is that the inspectors, at $751 a month, are paid $16 more than the sergeants.
