Plant to Theodore W. Kheel, head of the Sports Arbitration Board, yesterday. The entire statement is appearing exclusively in this morning's Daily.) rO: Theodore W. Kheel New York, New York This concerns your recent letters following up the AAU's sugges- tion that a private meeting should be held between the new presidents of the AAU and the NCAA as a means of possibly finding a solution to this nation's long-enduring track and field problems. My response Is made with full appreciation of your prolonged efforts and those of your fellow Board members. I think that no final resolution of the track and field dispute Dan be accomplished successfully without all involved parties playing a part in the development of the solution. More important for the moment, however, I see absolutely no purpose of a meeting with AAU officials until they correct their flagrant violations of the moratorium provisions of the Resolution adopted by the Senate of 'the United States and take further steps to confine their acceptance of the juristdiction of the Sports Arbitration Board. This is to request formally that the Board take immediate steps to enforce the moratorium and order the -AAU to withdraw its various threats of suspension and cancel those suspensions which it has im- posed, the latter of which all apply to students at colleges of this Association. These athletes have not, repeat, not been suspended by any foreign agency, but have been declared ineligible by the AAU of the United States. Furthermore, by this action the AAU has injected into the dispute an entirely new issue, namely that they can dictate to the educational Institutions the eligibility status of properly enrolled students. This intrusion into educational administration will not be tolerated by the University of Michigan or other member institutions of the NCAA. I find the AAU's threats of reprisal against athletes and meet opera- tors during the past three weeks thoroughly reprehensible. In conclusion, let me state that before any further meetings shall be held in which the NCAA participates the following conditions are specified : First, the AAU must remove all ineligibility rulings which it has announced and also rescind its orders restraining competition which violate the very basis of the Senate moratorium and the action creating your Board. Second, the AAU must confirm its acceptance of the Board's jurisdiction. On two recent occasions the AAU Executive Director has stated that the AAU's rules and interpretations supersede the Board's authority (See New York Daily News, February 7, 1967, and Associated Press New York Dispatch, February 13, 1967). If the AAU declines to accept the basic premise contained in the United States Senate Resolution prohibiting any' restraint on com- petition, then I see no other course left open to all of us other than to return the issue to the Congress. I might add that the colleges have endured too long the moratorium's suspension of their traditional responsibility to approve the forms of competition in which their students participate, and it is impossible to stand by and view these arrogant violations of the moratorium when we are restrained by observance of the moratorium. If the Board declines to enforce or is unsuccessful in the enforcement of the moratorium, then we must assume it is not applicable to either party. Marcus L. Plant, President National Collegiate Athletic Association acks By BOB McFARLAND Dr. Marcus- L. Plant, President of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, said yesterday in a telegram sent to Theodore W. Kheel, head of the Sports Arbi- tration Board, that the NCAA would not meet with Amateur Athletic Union officials "until they correct their flagrant violations of the moratorium provisions of the Resolutionadopted by the Senate of the United States." Plant's telegram, the original text of which is printed exclusive- ly in The Daily, is the latest ac- tion in the dispute between the NCAA and the AAU over control of amateur track and field in the United States. It is a response to the AAU sus- pension of nine foreign students this week for participating in the United States Track and Field Federation Invitational last Fri- day night in New York. Among the athletes affected by the AAU dec- laration are John Reynolds of Canada and Alex McDonald of Jamaica, both members of the Wolverines record-breaking two- mile relay team. No AAU Sanction Because the USTFF. track and field arm of the NCAA, did not request that the AAU sanction the New York meet, the union an- nounced that foreign athletes, whom it claims are properly under AAU Violations its own jurisdiction, would be in- further meets. "First," the tele- eligible from further AAU com- petition. The AAU notified the nine cinderman involved by tele- gram of their current status. Plant, a University law profes- sor, pointed out to Kheel that "these athletes have not, repeat, not been suspended by any for- eign agency, but have been de- clared ineligible by the AAU of the United States." This particular statement is an answer to an AAU contention that the matter was out of their hands efter they had suspended the nine collegians Col. Don Hull, executive secretary of the AAU. had assert- ed that any further action would have to be forthcoming from the athletes' home countries. Kheel Receives Telegram Kheel reported last night that he had rec3eived the communica- tion from the NCAA president. He said that his five-man arbitra- tion board, appointed by Vice President Hubert Humphrey to settle the long-standing disagree- ment, would make a ruling on the matter and inform the parties in- volved of its decision by 9 a.m. EST this morning. The Sports Arbitration Board's conclusion will be handed down at an 11 a.m. press conference. Plant set down two conditions to be met by its rival body before the NCAA would consent to any gram read, "the AAU must re- move all ineligibility rulings which it has announced and also rescind its orders restraining com- petition which violate the very basis of the Senate moratorium and the action creating your Board. Must Accept Jurisdiction "Second, the AAU must confirm its acceptance of the Board's jur- isdiction." Plant's latter point re- fers to AAU declarations earlier this month, including one this week, that it might ignore recom- mendations of Kheel's board. Much disagreement has center- ed around whether the SAB is empowered to merely mediate the controversy or arbitrate it. The NCAA contends that the Board's decisions should be binding, while the AAU has looked at the body as a mediating group. If the AAU does not meet the conditions stated in Plant's tele- gram. the ramifications could be significant, The NCAA head has threatened, first of all, "to return the issue to Congress." One USTFF official has indicated that this could include antitrust action by the collegiate group against the AAU. End of Moratorium In recognizing the moratorium 1y the Senate resolution, the NCAA has refrained from sanctioning competition for collegiate thin- clads, thus attempting to avoid possible strife. Unless the SAB can effect an immediate solution to the present crisis, Plant said that "we must assume it (the moratorium) is not applicable to either party." If the NCAA does adopt this premise, it seems likely that a boycott of AAU competition would be a likely result. Thus, an un- easy truce appears on the brink of exploding into out-and-out war again.

Carry-Out Service T he Convair Division of General Dynamics Corporation is one of the largest and most sophisticated aerospace and research firms in the country. It was formed in 1965 through the merger of two divisions of General Dynamics: the old Convair Division and the{ Astronautics Division, both in San Diego. The heritage of Convair dates back to aircraft production prior to and during World War I. In recent years the former Convair Division produced the Air Force F-102 and F-106 jet interceptors, the 880 and 990 jet transports; and the Little Joe solid rocket booster. The Astronautics Division was the home of the Atlas, the first free-world ICBM, and the subsequent development of the Atlas as one of the nation's major space launch vehicles; many other aerospace and research programs were undertaken by Astronautics including Centaur- the first U.S. space rocket powered by liquid hydrogen. Company Description Convair is primarily involved in research, development and production connected with the aerospace industry. ltprimary efforts are in complete systems and programs. The spectrum includes space launch vehicles, electronics systems, maneuverable re-entry vehicles, commer- cial and'military aircraft and oceanographic research.
