Sonny Liston Rejects
Announced Rematch
CHICAGO UP — Heavyweight
champion Sonny Liston yesterday
rejected an announced April 4 re
match with Floyd Patterson at
Miami Beach, asserting he prefer
red the bout to be held in early
May in Baltimore.
Almost, simultaneously, Liston’s
adviser expressed the same senti
ments in New York.
“Sonny is willing to defend the
title against Patterson in May, in
Baltimore, but not until he has
received the money due him from
the first fight,” adviser Jack Nilon
told the Associated Press by tele
phone.
Nilon said Liston, who knocked
out Patterson in the first round
in Chicago, Sept. 25, still has about
$207,000 due him from Champion
ship Sports Inc., promoters of the
fight.

CAB Authorizes Airlines
To Confer on Promotional
Fares for Foreign Visitors
Washington OW — The Civil
Aeronautics Board authorized the
13 local service airlines and the
local airlines in Alaska and Hawaii
Wednesday to confer on plans for
promotional fares for foreign visit
ors.
Some of the airlines already have
offered special low fares.
The CAB gave the lines 90 days
in which to discuss the fares.
The board said that in December,
1961, it granted a similar request,
but the airlines were unable then
to agree on an overall fare con
cept.
The new application for permis
sion to discuss promotional “area
fares” was filed by Bonanza Air
lines, Las Vegas, Nev.

your mind when you hear Tony
Martell, a young leader who
doesn’t evert remember “the good
old days,” on his new album Tony

The banjo, only popular instru
ment that originated in America,
stars on The Sound of A Blue
Grass Banjo by Charles Trent.
The young country musician, a
featured performer on Grand Ole
Opry, plays some of the best
know native American melodies
such as “Camptown' Races,’’
“Home Sweet Home,’’ and
“Grandfather’s Clock,” using his
new creation, an electrified banjo.
The result is a clear, ringing
sound never before available on
records. (Smash, MGS 27002,
