The Fight Game
The ring death of boxer Benny Paret has
brought, on the one hand, renewed urgings that
prize fighting be abolished and, on the other pro-
posals for saving the sport, or art, or business
One surprising suggestion by an expert in the
field, Dr. Allan J. Ryan, vice president of the Ameri-
can College of Sports Medicine, is that a return to
bare knuckle fighting might actually make the sport
safer.
Dr. Ryan says in a symposium:
“The fist, when wrapped in the required yards
of bandaging and covered with an eight-ounce glove,
assumes some of the weight and rigidity of a nam-
mer. But the unprotected hand cannot be used with
impunity against the head, and the incidence of
damaging blows to the head should automatically
decline.” . . ,
(Except, one might add, in the movies and
on television.) , . ,
However, Ryan advocates that professional
“prize fighting,” as distinguished from the ama-
teur sport of “boxing,” would be legislated out
of existence.
Six colleagues are divided on this issue, but
the majority favors saving the sport and the busi-
ness by eliminating its evils. All are agreed that
improved safeguards, training and physical exam-
ination are needed. 0
Neurosurgeons Harry A. Kaplan and B. b.
Gurdjian assert that knockouts are not necessarily
dangerous and may even save a fighter from seri-
ous damage. A K.O’d fighter never returns to action
in the same bout, which may not be true of other
snorts.
Dr. Charles E. P. Larson, first physician to be-
come president of the National Boxing Assn.,
claims that most fatal injuries result from the head
striking the floor or a post, causing brain lacera-
tion and hemorhage.
He has hopes that a “Boxing Education and Re-
search Foundations” which has been set up will lead
to better safety codes, as well as pension, welfare
and insurance plans. , ...
Dr. Max Novich of the New Jersey State Ath-
* letto Commission maintains that the danger comes
from boxers fighting out of their weight class.
Contrary to popular belief, the punch-drunk
fighter is often a man with extremely low intelli-
gence to begin with. As a group, says Dr. Kaplan,
boxers are no more prone to degenerative brain di-
seases than anyone else. . .
Not mentioned in the discussion, however, is
the fight fan. It would seem that it is the public
(now Generally apathetic) which will decide in Large
measure whether boxing—with or without reforms
_will make a comeback to the prestige it once en-
ioyed or continue its decline.
As of now, the thumbs seem to be turning
down.

Do—I Guess/
it Occurs to Me.
By Lin Milt
I WOULDN’T SAY they cuss-
ed when Mayor Nitter Kollman
and his compadre Henry Pum-
phrey found their “cussin’ can”
missing the other day, but they
had seme unkind words for
the person who took the $1.52
and left a note stating:
“I am a little angel and I
took the money for the Lord.”
Now Kollman and Pumphrey
had intended to do just that
with the money they had put
in the cussin’ can to fine them-
selves for cussin', but they
wanted to present the money
to the church themselves.
A couple of days went by,
with Kollman and Pumphrey
charging each other as well as
a couple of other friends, Roy
Sinnigson and John Vernon
Stiles.
Finally the mystery was sol-
ved. The little angel turned out
to be Kollman’s wife, Mary
Jane, who just wanted to have
a little fun.
But now the future status of
the. cussin’ can is in doubt.
Negotiations are underway.
BILL FORD was in town for
a couple of days this weekend.
His wife, June, was here, too.
The former Taylor1 football
coach, now beginning his sec-
ond season at Cuero, says
things are shaping up well for
this year’s grid season.
Last year, Ford’s team won
only three while losing seven,
but all of the losses were' close
ones. Practically all the imma-
ture boys on last year’s team
are back this year, with a
whole lot more experience and
weight. Ford said he had 17
returning lettermen and that
just about all his boys had
put on 25 to 40 pounds since
last season.
His optimism seems justified.
STANLEY SCHWENKER, Bob
Farrell and Joe Casey are the
worst hula dancers you ever
saw, bar none.
Entertaining the Lions Club
Friday were five lovely young-
ladies from Taylor High School,
four in a quartet and the other
playing the piano for them.
After they had rendered sev-
eral very nice selections, they
called on the “dancing trio”
I mentioned for a little help,
the whole thing having been
pre-arranged with President Jim
Cutcher.
They sang a Hawaiian
song and asked the three wide-
bottomed Lions to go through
the motions with them.
Talk about grace! Sehwenker,
Farrell and Casey don’t know
the meaning of the word, but
they did provide a good belly
laugh.
SINCE I MADE those re-
marks about Bryan Air Force
Base going to a waste, I have

at the college.' He wrote:

'How-to' Book V/on't
Come from Policy Review
BY PETER EDSON
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
WASHINGTON—(NEA)—Basic U.S. National Security Coun-
cil foreign and national defense policy papers are undergoing
review with considerable soul-searching by Kennedy adminis-
tration top strategists.
THIS EXERCISE HAS BEEN UNDER WAY for six months
and there is no terminal date in sight yet. The project is in
charge of Walt W. Rostow, counselor and chairman of the
State Department’s policy planning council. It involves all
agencies taking part in National Security Council affairs under
Presidential Assistant McGeorge Bundy, including the Depart-
ments of State, Defense and Treasury, Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Information Service and
Office for Emergency Planning.
The new paper is still in draft form, the low-level “In-
dians” not having submitted it to the “Chiefs,” meaning
the President and Cabinet members in NSC, for their
approval.
Preparation of the new strategy paper is described as a
routine operation. Some efforts to sensationalize it as a new,
top secret policy are characterized as exaggerations.
THERE HAS BEEN AN ANNUAL and sometimes more fre-
quent review of NSC policy documents ever since the agency
is created by the National Security Act of 1947.
The current review is primarily a matter of consolidat-
ing and codifying the many changes of policy which have
been made by the Kennedy administration in its 15 months
in office.
Many of these new policies have been made public in the
President’s messages to Congress, in his inaugural and later
speeches on Berlin, nuclear testing, disarmament, foreign
trade, foreign aid and the Alliance for Progress in Latin
America.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Undersecretary George
Ball have elaborated on some of these policies in their most
important speeches of the past year. Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara’s statements to Congressional Armed Services
Committees have given the guidelines on military policy.
Air Force Base.
“After reading the article, I
hope you have the opportunity
to drive by the old air base
and possibly drop in and take
note of what is taking place at
this once abandoned installa-
tion, so depressing to you.
In closing, I would like to
extend to you a hearty invita-
tion to visit the1 A&M Re-
search and Development Annex
and to encourage you to visit
the A&M Campus, one of the
finest institutions of higher
learning in the United States.’
The other rebuttal was from
Tom Galbreath who needs ho
introduction. He, too, brought
me a clipping to the effect that
the Aggies have gotten the
base, involving nearly 200 build-
ings and 2,000 acres of land,
which the college will use for
education and research pur-
poses.”
Maybe I am behind the
times, but I am particularly
happy to learn that the base,
which cost a fortune, is being
put to a good use. Hope the
same thing happens to other
abandoned bases. Next time I
drive by the Bryan Air Force
base I hope to see some acti-
vity. . .
AS THE BARBER put it as
Fi're Marshal Johnnie Hafernik
was getting a haircut, We
ought to get a lot of help if a
fire breaks out Sunday.”
He was referring to the fact
that more than 500 firemen
and their wives and friends
from all over the Central Tex-
as area were to be here Sun-
day for the semi-annual con-
vention of the Central Texas
Firemen’s Assn.
Hafernik is president of the
association, as you know. And
that’s quite an honor.
But the point I wanted to
make was that the rest of us
non-firemen should be on our
good behavior and try to show
the visitors whenever or where-
ever we might meet them that
Taylor really is “As Friendly
as a Texan’s Smile.”
WASHINGTON — The New
York Boxing Commission turned
down the Sonny Liston-Floyd Pat-
terson heavyweight championship
match in New York for a good
arid justifiable reason—namely,
Liston’s criminal record.
Liston has been arrested 19
times, sent to jail twice, once on
a serious conviction of armed
robbery, once for assaulting a po-
lice officer. Most of the shadowy
characters who have managed
him in the past took the 5th
Amendment when called to test-
ify before the Kefauver Boxing
Investigation
So the New York boxing com-
missioners, including big Jim
Farley, ruled against putting an
ex-convict into the national lime-
light to receive the possible
plaudits of the multitudes and
perhaps the world’s heavyweight
title.
However, a man is entitled to
rehabilitate himself—if he is sin-
cere about it and really works
at it. And one way Liston could
do so is by allocating the major
portion of the proceeds from the
proposed match to combatting
juvenile delinquency
To this end, I made a proposal
in March, as president of Big
Brothers in the nation’s capital,
that Liston and Floyd Patterson
stage their match in Washington
under the watchful eye of Sena-
tor Kefauver and the Justice De-
partment and that a reasonable
share of the proceeds be set
aside for Big Brothers and the
combating of juvenile delinquen-
cy. It seemed to me that if Lis-
ton would contribute to and work
at keeping other boys from the
type of trouble he got into, no-
body could deny him the right to
fight.
To that end, I offered a flat
$1,000,000 to Patterson, with a
amount be paid the minute after
the fight was concluded. A lesser
amount, to be determined later,
was to go to Liston. It seemed to
that the United States must over-
come the Soviet lead in oceano-
graphic research. Russia is furth-
er ahead of the United States in
exploring the depths of the sea
than the heights of space—which
could give Russia an advantage
in submarine warfare. . .Sen. War-
ren Magnuson of Washington has
been badgering Congress with tM^k
same warning for some time.
Dr. Seitz, incidentally, is the
same scientists who was ridi-
culed after World War II for
warning that Russia would deve-
lop the atomic bomb before 1950.
(The Soviets exploded their first
A-bomb in 1949.)
H/NTS f/fOM,
mmW
me that, income taxes being what life of VOUT covers
Dear Housewife:
Pretty tough sometimes, huh?
Today’s topic? Slip covers—and that is exactly what
some of them are, too.
If they have been made to fit tightly, they aren’t
so bad about slipping. But if yours slip, try this.
Gather and crush a newspaper up and stick down
in the back (underneath the cushion) and sides. This
Will prevent the arms from sagging and the front of
the cover from slipping.
If one newspaper isn’t enough, use two or three.
Chairs vary in size and some covers are looser than
others.
Pins can be bought and used for this purpose but
often when you remove your slip covers for cleaning,
you will find a torn place where the pin was. Try
eliminate this.
It is no use to pay good money for covers to pro-
tect your furniture and then have holes in them when
they are removed.
If you will notice, sometimes when you remove
your slip covers (even on brand new furniture) you will
find a “dirty spot” on the arms and pillow back.
Why? Because you have let your covers get too
soiled and the soil has worked itself through the ma-
terial and soaked into your upholstery.
There arc two main places that this will happen—
arms and head rest sections. This can be prevented
by covering the chair arms and pillow back with plastic
before putting the slip covers on!
The plastic bags that clothes come in are good for
this.
The spot is caused by the natural oils from our
bodies. There is no way (that we know of) to prevent this.
Oil from hair causes the pillow to soil.
SI in covers must be kept clean. This prolongs the
10 and 20
Years

What this revision of NSC papers amounts to, therefore,
is said to be a stock-taking to fold out what the key prob-
lems of strategy are and to translate ideas into specific
actions.
The purpose is not to produce a crisis handbook with an
index which can be consulted to find out what should be done
:o meet the next crisis in Cuba, Viet Nam or The Congo.
It is more of a long-range planning document. It will be
lseful in presenting alternatives to the President for his de-
cisions. It will be useful in shaping programs and budgets
which are already in preparation for 1963 and beyond.

10 Killed in Crash
Of British Airliner
VENTNOR, Isle of Wight, Eng-
land (/P) —Ten persons were kill-
ed and seven injured Sunday
when a two-engine DC3 airliner
crashed in heavy fog and burst
into flames on this English Chan-
nel island.
The Ministry of Aviation said
there were 14 passengers and 3
crewmen aboard the plane, which
was en route to Portsmouth from
the channel island of Jersey off
the French coast.
they are, this was not an un-
reasonable amount, and that the
two boxers could help their
country and themselves by allot-
ing the balance to help youngs-
ters in trouble.
I never had the courtesy of a
reply. Secondhand I heard that
some of the men around Patter-
son wanted a bigger cut.
However, if Sonny Liston is
really interested in rehabilitating
himself, and if Patterson is in-
terested in helping hm, the
above offer still stands—but only
provided a reasonable share of
the proceeds is used for helping
boys who need help.
Octogenarian Deadlock
A row between a senator and
a congressman, aged 84 and 83,
as to who shall walk farthest ac-
ross the capital building, may
delay the adjournment of Con-
gress.
Paired off in the dispute are
Sen. Carl Hayden of Arizona,
84, and Reip. Clarence Cannon of
Missouri, 83, respective chair-
men of the Senate and House
Appropriations Committees
Their current row broke out
when Cannon “requested” that
half the joint conferences of the
two committees be held on the
House side of the Capitol.
“I really don’t see any (need for
it,” replied Hayden. The joint
meetings have always been held
on our side while I have been
here, and long before that. It
worked out all right. Besides,
you, originate all the appropria-
tions bills in the House.”
“Well,” that’s according to the
Constitution, but the Constitution
doesn’t say anything about requir-
ing our conferees to go over to
your side every time there is a
joint conference,” shot back Can-
non. “Since the east front of the
Capitol was extended, we have a
new room on the House side,
where half of the meetings
should be held.
‘It is only a few steps away.”
added the 83-year-old Cannon.
“Surely, your members would
not object to walking that far.”
Will Walk Halfway—“If”
I’ll have to take it up with
my committee,” snapped the 84-
year-old Hayden. He did so, and
later sent a terse letter to Can-
non, reporting that the Senate
committee had voted to approve
Cannon’s • suggestion, but with a
very important proviso—namely,
that the Senate could originate ac-
tion on half of the appropriation
measures passed every session
Hayden contended that there
was nothing irregular about this.
He maintained that while the Con-
stitution required “revenue” (tax)
If you are contemplating new slip covers, think
about buying light-weight upholstery material. At least
look at it first.
This material doesn’t cost much more than regu-
lar slip cover material. Sometimes it is cheaper, if you
can get it on sale.
It has its good points, too. It doesn’t look so milch
like a slip cover and will give you better protection for
your furniture in case you spill something on it, Up-
holstery material can be dry cleaned and does not soil
as easily as a thin material that is wet cleaned.
Some slip covers are filled with dust. If you doubt
this, look at your coffee table and see how much dust
it accumulates in a week. Think how many weeks’ dust
is in your covers!
Considering this, if you removed the dust, most
would be clean. Dust in draperies (and all cloth for tl
matter) and slip covers causes rotting.
Remove the dust by putting your slip covers in youi
dryer. Let them tumble about 20 minutes without heat.
Replace and they will look grand!
If water is spilled (or perspiration soaks) on dusty
cloth, it will cause “ring spots.” If there is no dust ydu
will get a brown “dust ring” which is almost impossible
to remove. x
Heloise
Dear Heloise:
T have solved the problem for women who cannot
afford plastic coat hangers to hang drip clothing on (to
keep them from rusting while drying).
The perfect substitute is to save the hangers which
come with pastic bags over them from the dry cleaners.
Cut these bags off just below the bottom of the hanger.
These plastic covered hangers . . . will give complete
protection from rust when drying clothes on them Also,
there will always be a fresh supply of them at no extra
cost so one should never run out of them.
Mrs. R. J. Cox
Dear Heloise:
I have found a few ways to cut bird care a little.
When I open a new box of bird gravel, I transfer it to'
a sprinkler top plastic carton meant for inserting a can
of cleaning powder. A few shakes over the bottom of
the cage and that job is done. (Empty salt boxes could
be used too).
When bird foods come in plastic bags or cardboard
cartons, I transfer them into a snap-top plastic (left-
over) carton. These keep the food clean and dry and
eliminate the porblem of spills.
Breaking up a set of measuring spoons and keep-
ing one spoon right in each container with the seed
makes a quick job for cup-filling.
Peggy Weber
Also, for those of you who would like a few
more pointers . . . the bottom of that bird cage
can be lined with not one or two pieces of paper or
foil but about 15 at a time. Each day, just remove
the top paper.
Vacuum cleaners are wonderful to clean the
bird cages. But be sure the bird is not in the cage!
He might get sucked up in the hose. Mine never
did but I imagine it could happen.
Heloise
Dear- Heloise:
I had some disgraceful looking hat boxes that didn’t
even match and one day I: got them all out and covered
bills to originate in the House, them with dime store gilt wrapping paper and taped
it was vague as to whether ap-
propriation bills should be pass-
ed first by the House or Senate.
The Hayden compromise was
received like a ton of ice by a
closed-door meeting of Cannon’s
appropriation committee.
“They still want us to bow and
scrape to them,” irately declared
John Taber, 82-year-old Repub-
lican from New York. “They even
want us to flout tradition and the
intent of the Constitution. I’ll nev-
er agree to that.”
The octogenarian deadlock con-
tinues. Since appropriation bills
must be passed, it may stall
Congress beyond an August ad-
journment.
Capital Chaff
Dr. Frederick Seitz, new presi-
dent of the National Academy of
Sciences, has warned urgently
the edges after reinforcing them with masking tape.
Now, I have an attractive looking shelf in my closet
to hold my hats.
Shoe boxes can be covered to match. For those who
don’t keep shoes in boxes ... the boxes may fee used
for many other things.
Mrs. Bane Weber
Dear Heloise:
For those who are plagued by apron strings tangled
around clothes in the washer ... try folding the strings
a few times and pinning them to the end of the apron
with a safety pin.
Mrs-. M. #.
