Middleweight
Championship
Fight Tonight
CHICAGO, (.P) — Tony Zale.
w ' l l’ mid TIe>yei ht .champion,
a~d challenge” Rocvy Graziano,
two of the greases' offensive fight
ers in t^e past 10 years, battle to
r:ght before upwards of 20.000
spectator- who will contribute to
a record all-time indoor gate of
around $450,000.
The congest in the Chicago Sta
dium h scheduled for 15 rounds or
less—undoubtedly less, consider
ing the punching prowess of both.
No one including Zale and Gra
ziano, believes it will go the limit.
The consensus of experts is that
Zale will triumph within six
rounds.
Zale at the age of 33 defends
his title for the second time
against the challenge of Graziano,
25. This will be an encore of the
Uoockdown-and-count Rocky-out
thriller fought in New York last
September in which Zale dragged
himself off the canvas to win by
a knockout in six savage rounds.
This rematch was scheduled for
New York last spring, but the New
York athletic commission revoked
Graziano’s license for failure to
report an unsuccessful attempt by
gamblers to bribe him with the
result that the bout was switched
to Chicago.
Zale remained a steadfast 7 to 5
betting favorite.

Editors Denv
Union Charges
“Press Is Biased*’
COLUMBUO, O. (Aux.)—While
* wspaper editors are unanimous
i their op:nion that they handle
1 ibor stories without editorial
slan*. more than half of the labor
leaders who read these papers
charge bias.
This was among the facts and
opinions revealed in a press-labor
clarions survey by editors and
.‘.FT. union officials in 42 indus
‘ ::.l cities conducted by Jean
Douglas, 25-yeap-old Toledo Blade
staff member on leave as a grad
uate student in the Ohio State
university school of journalism.
' Most telling feature of the sur
vey,” Miss Douglas reports in the
current issue of the Ohio Newspa
per, “was the intensity with which
her questions were answered, both
by newspaper and union men.
“In a very few instances were
the questions checked with castT
alness,” she said. “Indeed, in some
cases they were valves to let off
the steam of a -sermon emphasis
ing the extreme feeling with
which the man championed ‘his
side.”
The survey used two questions
to seek reasons for an anparent
rift between the ran^s of labor
and the o^ess. They were: whether
unions had nress representatives
and whether papers had specially
trained reporters handling their
news. *
Forty-two per cent of the un:ons
declared they had no person or
office to issue press releases Sim
ilarly. 4? per cent of the paoe’*s
renorted soecially-t”ained s*"*ff
members bolding labor assign
assignments.
Miss Douglas took isu.ie with
the 7H per cent of the newsoaoer
representatives who declared that
they take no stand where organ
ized labor is concerned.
“This question was not an at
tempt to trap the edito'- into a eon
fess’oo,” she said, “but it seems
unbpl:evable that such a large
percentage of papers, admits no
decisions where labor is concern
ed.” •
She al ;o editorialized about the
union’s lack of ores' agentrv say
ing that “if labor news is to be
handled in as efficient and satis
factory way as the chamber of
commerce news then its press rep
resentative? must be a' efficient
and thorough as the c-of-c secre
tary who issues clear statements
on time, and who is available when
he must be reached by reporters.”
On the subject of bias in news
columns, 54 per cent of the union ;
leaders surveyed ' declared that I
‘heir local press did not print all I
the available facts in important I
stories.

Governors Will
Support Aid Plan
SALT LAKE CITY, (/b—Sec
•
retary of State Marshall told the
nation’s governors that the United
States has reached a “turning
point" in European relations and
got prompt assurances yesterday
of bipartisan support for his olan
to help rebuild Europe.
Unless it elects to lose “ir'
culculable stake" in Europe, the
cabinet member said, America
must extend a justifiable measure
of aid to friendly countries or see
them drift into a non-democratic
orbit.
In a crowded eight-hour stop
over on a strenuous roundtrip
flight from Washington, the gray
ing soldier-diplomat grimly told
the governors’ conference here
that there is “no blinking the fact
that this country now stands at
the turning point in its relations to
its traditional friends among the
nations of the old world.”
