1 1 12 The Knoxville News By JOE Birth Control? Death Control Far Better for Sports NEW YORK Incongruously, 10 old gaffer with the scythe, opular nowhere, dreaded every. here, exemplifies qualities which re deemed most admirable in vodern cultures; he's industrious, inctual, tireless, thorough and pendable. Politically, he is independent to point of total indifference. He untainted by prejudice or subersive isolationism. By current this would qualify him true liberal.

Apparently, he couldn't be less interested. On he other hand, the interminable abor management controversies ail to arouse his concern in the cast. The nature of his profession, would identify him as owever, in unrelenting advocate of shorter tours, albeit for reasons which lave nothing to do with a fuller life, As for compensation, "The Kind Umpire of Men's Miseries" has made it clear for eons that he considers the wages of death eminently just. IN CASE you're puzzled, these cheery reflections are occasioned by the tradition of the moment. Once again we say farewell to an old year, hello to a new one.

As the years 1 mount, the tradition loses much of its gaiety, what with the old gaffer working over time, and too many old, familiar faces among the missing. Bill Corum's jovial, croaking voice, calling at midnight, at Times Square begins to explode in boisterous revelry, we'll miss most of all. his unvarying, triumphant sign-off: pal, we beat the price again" our old friend's way of saying we had somehow made it through another year. Perhaps it's a kind of morbidity that is reserved for the graybeards but, anyway, each year the mortality list in sports seems to grow longer, and the '59 toll, in number and prestige, does nothing to lighten the gloom. Birth control? Death control is far better.

THE REAPER'S remorseless scythe toppled titans on a wide, varied front, including Ed Walsh, Howard Ehmke, Jim Bottomley, in baseball; Tim Mara, Bert Bell, Albie Booth, in football; Max Baer. Tony Canzoneri, in boxing; Douglas Findlay, the captivating Woodie Platt, in golf; Vinnie Richards, Molla Bjurstedt, in tennis; the picturesque Sarge Swenke, who Alsab, one of the best since Man O' War; Willie Hoppe, who was to billiards what spring rain is to flowers. Jack Norworth was another whose "soul was drawn into time's infinite sea" (if that's the way the quotation goes). Norworth, a top Music Hall performer in his day, was the Francis Scott Key of baseball. His "Take Me Out To the Ball Game" is the Star Spangled Banner of the national pastime.

We last heard from him in May. Would I get him an autographed picture of Joe DiMaggio? It would be a pleasure. But manana is our middle name, and now we feel like a louse. THAT DEATH should tap both Nap LaJoie and Johnny (Red) Corriden the same year marked an eerie coincidence, for as big. league players the two had figured in a tantastic baseball dal.

LaJoie, 35, never fast, had beaten out six bunts that Corriden, St. Louis third baseman, playing excessively deep, failed to handle. The bunts, with two other hits, enabled the Cleveland star to edge Ty Cobb for the batting title in a double-header on the final day of the season. but only momenarily. An investigation followed, the t.

Louis manager (Corriden, a ookie, had played deep on his pecific orders) was banned from the game, the averages were revised, and Cobb was awarded the hampionship by one point.

Young Breaks With Alleghany Head Quits as Director; Kirby Had Teamed With Late Husband Thursday, Dec. 31, 1959 NEW YORK, Dec, 31 (R-Mrs. Robert R. Young has broken with Allan P. Kirby, the financier teamed with her late husband to achieve control of a vast corporate empire in an association lasting many years.

The break came Tuesday when Mrs. Young resigned as a director of the Alleghany Corp. Alleghany controls the New York Central Railroad and other enterprises. Young was chairman of both Alleghany and the railroad when he committed suicide in January, 1958. Kirby, president of Alleghany, also has served as chairman since Young's death.

Mrs. Young and her husband's estate are large Alleghany stockholders. Last April, at her request, she was elected an Alleghany director at the company's meeting in Baltimore. Control Challenged The first indication a with Kirby, who is an even larger holder of Alleghany securities, came in November. It developed as a result of a challenge, to made Kirby's by Abraham control M.

of Sonnabend, Boston real estate man and hotel operator said to own 200,000 shares of Alleghany common stock. The Boston financier has never revealed his personal holdings 1 in Alleghany, a spokesman said yesterday. Sonnabend did say last month, however, that he and an informal group of associates held around 700,000 shares at that time. Sonnabend subsequently abandoned the move, but Kirby said Mrs. Young made no effort during the period of the threat to let him know she would side with him in any proxy contest.

Although Mrs. Young gave no public indication of siding with Sonnabend, Kirby interpreted her silence as being directed at him personally. Invitation Withdrawn In addition, he said, Sonnabend was invited to join board at the insistance of Mrs. Young. This invitation later was withdrawn.

After accepting Mrs. Young's resignation as a director yesterday, the Alleghany board elected Charles T. Ireland to the board vacancy created by David Wallace's ouster. Mrs. Young's place on the nine-seat board was not filled.

Wallace, a vice president, was fired by Kirby Nov. 14 for conferring with Sonnabend. Ireland has been executive vice president of the corporation. Meanwhile, State Supreme Court Justice Owen McGivern signed an order approving settlement in a suit which had been brought in 1955 by minority stockholders. Agreement Made The suing stockholders, led by Randolph Phillips, a former Alleghany consultant, maintained that Kirby and Young had conducted the corporation's affairs primarily in the interest of themselves and a small group of insiders.

Basis of the suit was the successful proxy fight of Young and Kirby to gain control of the New York Central in 1954. As part of the settlement agreement, reached out of court between the parties, the estate will pay Alleghany and Kirby will pay $1,250,000. The settlement also results in Alleghany again obtaining working control of Investors Diversified Services an investment company. GM Denies Trickery in Car Glass Ads WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (P) General Motors Corp.

yesterday denied Federal Trade Commission charges that camera trickery was used in filming television advertising for the glass in its cars. FTC charged that there was no glass used in the shots supposed to show glass in the cars. GM said that in any case the commercial was discarded before the FTC issued a complaint on Oct. 30. The car maker asked for dismissal of the charges.

Libbey-( Glass Co. of Toledo, also cited in the complaint, has not yet filed a reply. The FTC charged that TV commercials falsely represented that Safety Plate glass used in the wide widows of GM cars has no optical distortion. It said camera tricks were used to compare this glass with the safety sheet glass used in other brands of cars. GM contended there is no optical distortion in the glass it uses and that the challenged commercials "gave a fair and truthful portrayal of what they purported to portray."

Mother and Father Mr. 4 Mrs. Clyde Mowery and Family Industrials Near New Highs Again in Active Trading Steels and Motors Also Show Strength; Electronics Gain Compiled From Press Dispatches NEW YORK, Dec. 31 Industrial shares broke into new high ground in their average today on moderately active turnover. The section went over the top at the opening as traders focused their attention on the high quality issues included in the averages.

The industrial shares closed just 1.13 points away from the peak yesterday. The previous top was 678.10 set on Aug. 3, but by the first today the average stood at 679.85, a difference of hour, 1.75 points. However, the only high that counts is the one that comes at the close. Among the components of the average to score were U.

S. Steel up more than 1, Du Pont, International Paper, Jersey Standard and Bethlehem Steel all up fractions, and General Electric up nearly Motors gained on balance with Ford up more than 1, and eral Motors, Chrysler and American Motors all up around a half or more. Steels were strong, as were electronics, oils, and the electrical equipments. The AP 60-stock average rose yesterday $1.50 to $230.10, making its best gain since Dec. 8 when it rose $2.70.

The industrials were up $2.30, the rails $1.40 and the utilities 20 cents. U-T Seeks Camp Forrest Site U.T is bidding for some 860 acres of the old Camp Forrest site near Tullahoma for expanded forestry research and possible future use as a training school for forestry students. The Federal Government has declared the land as surplus and offering it virtually cost free if used for educational purposes. In a letter to Government officials, John Ewing, director of the U-T Agricultral Experiment Sta-. tion, said the tract has soil types and forestry species that are not available at the three present forestry research stations.

"This area presents a real challenge to research to find a more productive use of the land resources," Mr. Ewing said. The University of the South Sewanee is also bidding for the land. U-T has forestry conservation projects in Morgan and Scott Counties and at the Ames Plantation near Memphis. U-T officials said the Middle Tennessee site would be used for instruction as well as research if the University develops a fouryear school of forestry as planned.

It now has a two-year pre-forestry course. Camp Forrest was also used as a prisoner of war camp during World War II. New Channel Opens Near TEC Industry KINGSPORT, Dec. 31 (Special) -Holston River is now through its new man-made channel next to the Tennessee Eastman Co. plants.

The project on Long Island was undertaken by TEC (chemicals, plastics and fibers manufacturing) to reroute the river in a straighter course. Bays Mountain Construction Co. started the work Dec. 3, 1958, with the approval of TVA. Within 12 months, some 320,000 cubic of earth and over 2000 cubic of rock were moved in construction of the 2600-foot long, 250-foot wide channel.

The new channel section is being opened on a gradual basis so as to hold to a minimum any downstream flow of earth sediment. The old channel will be closed off some time after the first of the year. When it is filled in, the completed project will have the effect of including within the Eastman plant area about 32 acres owned by the company on Long Island. Idell Heads W.

Burley Acreage Raise Sought GREENEVILLE, Dec.

31 (P) An official of the Burley Leaf Tobacco Dealers Association said his organization has decided to seek an immediate increase of 10 per cent in burley acreage allotments to head off a threatened shortage of cigaret tobacco. Robert Austin of Greeneville, president of the association, said the organization would ask the U.S. Department of A Agriculture next month to approve the higher allotments, starting with the 1960 crop. Fo the fifth straight year, he said, less burley has been grown than has been used and supplies of available leaf have dropped more 130,000,000 pounds below the 1954-55 level. Cites USDA Prediction growing demand.

Burley Pools Cut Stocks "If we do not start increasing our burley production to meet this future demand," Austin said, "the burley farmers and the burley industry will lose this growing cigaret market to other types of tobacco." He cited USDA figures as indicating an increase of 18 per cent in cigaret output by 1965 and a 53-per-cent increase by 1975 and said domestic cigaret manufacturers have appealed for higher production to meet the He said burley pools have sold about 185,000,000 pounds of old stock burley since last season, reducing stocks to about 000 pounds now under Commodity Credit Corp. loans. Burley must be aged two or more years before it is ready for cigaret manufacture. Burley quotas are established under Federal law as a means of keeping supply and demand in balance. The association is composed of dealers in the eight burley ing states.

S. BuMines reported. The information came from a preliminary report yesterday on mineral production in the region. The Kentucky figure, 63,593 tons, was off from last year's ton total, but 25 per cent under the record 1947 production. Tennessee output dipped from 6785 tons in 1958 to 5279 this year, off 40 per cent from 1956.

The Knoxville Field Office of the Division of Mineral Industries cited work stoppages in labor disputes as one cause of the decline. Only one state in the region, Alabama, showed an increase in coal production. The mineral industry picture was brighter for Tennessee in other production figures. It was a record year in portland cement, crushed limestone, zinc, gravel, pyrite, copper, ball clay and mica. Public Records Divorce Suits Filed Frances Brite Barnes, 21, Rt.
