PATTERSON PLANS TO
FIGHT LISTON FOR TITLE
DURING JUNE OR JULY
NEW YORK Uf) — Heavyweight
champion Floyd Patterson, break
ing his long silence, confirmed
Saturday what everyone suspect
ed — he intends to defend his
heavyweight boxing championship
against Sonny Liston.
“There will be a fight in the
summer,” said Patterson from his
training camp in Highland Mill.
“It will be with Liston. It may
toe in June, but I can’t say for
sure. Maybe in July.”
Patterson said five cities are
under consideration in the nego
tiations, which took a turn for the
better Friday when Liston said
in Philadelphia he would not let
money stand in the way of the
fight.
The champion listed New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Chica
go and Los Angeles. It was re
ported that New York, probably
Yankee Stadium, is most likely.
Los Angeles also is high on the
list, with the 100,000 seat Coli
seum as the site if New York
loses out.
Stung by indications that Pat
terson’s camp might switch to an
other challenger if he continued
to balk, Liston announced Friday
he would be agreeable to accept
ing 12Vi per cent of the gate and
a like percentage of the ancillary
rights if the National Boxing
Assn, ruled that was a reasonable
cut for a challenger.
BASKETBALL REFEREE
JOSTLED BY FANS
AT U OF WASHINGTON
SEATTLE tf) — Referee A1
Lightner of Salem, Ore., said he
was jostled by one fan and swung
at by another as he walked off
the basketball court after Friday
night’s Washington-UCLA game.
Police broke up the action.
Lightner had been involved in a
critical call in the closing min
utes of the game.
“I’ll never work another basket
ball game at Washington as long
as this condition exists and as long
as that man is coach,” Lightner
said.
Husky coach John Grayson had
been tooted for a technical foul
during the game. The referee also
had blown the whistle twice
against UCLA, once on the bench
and once on a player on the floor.
The Salem referee called the
Washington Pavilion “the worst
policed — by 10 times — of any
court on the coast.”
Jim Owens, Washington Ath
letic Director, commented:
“We try as best we can to do
everything possible to protect the
officials. We have the floor roped
off, but occasionally an excited
fan may get out of hand. Our sit
uation is no different here than
in other pavilions.”
Sign in a public library: “No
children aloud.”

PLAN TO TRAIN CREWS
FOR ALASKA FERRYS
KETCHIKAN W — An appli
cation for funds to provide train
ing for steward department crews
on the Alaska ferries will be made
shortly to the Area Redevelop
ment Administration.
The idea is that of James Pink
erton, Ketchikan civic leader and
chairman of the Governor’s Ad
visory Committee for the ARA in
this part of Alaska.
Pinkerton said he considers it
important that waiters, waitresses
and bartenders be fully trained
so that they can “put Alaska’s
best foot forward” when meeting
tourist guests, most of whom will
be visiting Alaska for the first
time.
Pinkerton said that besides
learning how to properly serve
food and drink, the employes
should be trained to answer ques
tions about Alaska, such as those
related to the state’s physical fea
tures, state government, ferry,
bus and airlines’ schedules and
other questions which will be
asked of them.
Pinkerton said there are funds
available under the ARA pro
gram for such training. He added
that i .'jm individuals selected for
such a training program will be
paid $36 per week while studying.
He pointed out that similar job
applicants at the Seattle World’s
Fair are being trained to properly
handle their work.

CAB APPROVES
PENALIZATION PLAN
WASHINGTON UP) — The Civil
Aeronautics Board authorized the
11 domestic trunk airlines Sat
urday to put into effect imme
diately their program to penalize
passengers who reserve space and
fail to use it. It also authorized
penalties for airlines when seats
are not available to ticket hold
ers.
Defaulting passengers — those
who do not use their tickets and
fail to cancel their reservations
in advance — will be fined by
means of a reservation service
charge of at least $5 and not more
than $40.
The usual fine will be 50 per
cent of the value of the first re
maining ticket coupon.
The airline agreement, as ap
proved by the CAB, provides for
an identical payment by the air
line to the passenger who finds
that the space for which he has
a ticket has been sold to some
other traveler.
That is, the passenger will be
refunded 50 per cent of the value
of the first part of his remain
ing ticket—not less than $5 nor
more than $40.

The Biblical span of man’s life
is 70 years — which most of us
now can hope to reach after 5,000
years of human civilization. Zoo
records have established these
longevity figures for other crea

box turtle 123; great horned sowl
68; snapping turtle 57; eagle 55;
toad 36; bullfrog 30; English spar
row 23; wolf 16; beaver 12. The
moral here, if there is one, is “If
you enjoy living, be as busy as a
tortoise — and to heck with the
eager beavers.”
