best boxing markets, and be-

Anyway, the announcement Of
the full international flavor Of
the Miami card on the night OF
February ~ has stimulated res
ervations tremendously for The
Washington Times Miami fight
tour, and indications today we're
that the limited number OF 100
trips would be more than sub
scribed by the time the deadline
for joining this party expires at
I6 p. m. Saturday. February IS.
Since the announcement that
The Washington Times would
sponsor this fight trip TO Miarui
was made q week ago today. fight

be represented on the trip, as are
Baltimore and Richmond.
OF the several hundred
coupons returned to The
Times sporting editors In the
last week. only 100 can be &C
commodated on the trip, and
50 q rule went into effect yes
terday that the first 100 to
show their sincerity by max
ing the initial $50 deposit COW
ering ringSide seat and hotel
expenses, will be the ones to
get the trips.
Pressure and demand for the
best ringSide seats and the de-
Strable hotel quarters In Miami
is such that their absolute reser-
vationS must be guaranteed by
February Is if they are to be
held for The Times party. So
in fairness to all concerned, pros.
pective participants in the tour
are asked to signify their definite
intentions Of going on the trip
by that time and make arrange
ment to deposit two-fifthS ($50)
Of the total cost of the trip by
o week from next Saturday.
It should be remembered that
attendance at the fight Is not
essential and those who do not
care for that feature Of the trip
can make the round trip ex.
elusive Of meals, for 500 flat.
Besides the fight, Miami holds
such sports as golf, horse racing,
dog racing. surf bathing, surf
fishing, sightseeing trips and
motor boating. Co.,.
A four-day stay in Americas q
winter playground, Miami and
Miami Beach, with Palm Beach
only q few miles up the coast, Is
lure enough for those who wish
to inspect Florida, even though
they do not go In for the sports
opportunities available.

Reliable Source OF
Information On
Valley Asked

CORPUS CHRISTI, June 26.-tPl
Decision OF Governor Dan Moody
was awaited today Oh the recon-
m~endation or the committees Of
Texas and Wisconsin business men
who have been touring the Lower
Rio Grande Valley that a reliable
source OF information be created to
which regulatory bodies could turn
for advice.
The two committees issued a
statement containing this recon-
mendation, in an effort TO compose
differences between the two states
arising out Of sale Of Valley lands
by real estate firms operating in
Wisconsin.
In the statement signed by all
members of both committees, IL was
declared that ia personal investi-
cation Of the agricultural develop
ment of Rio Grande Valley lands
has indicated clearly that the re-
markable growth and progress of
this area has been o~ccasioned by
the existence or natural resources
of climate and soil of an unusul
character and that the basic agri-
cultural Soundness Of these lands
seems apparent
Nevertheless. the statement con-
tinued. because OF improper rep
resentation' in the past where such
unusual conditions" have existed,
the committee deemed II wise to
create a reliable source of informal
ton TO which regulatory bodies out
side the state might turn to in con-
sidering applications for license 10
sell real estate in their states.
The statement concluded by say
ing the Texas committee disap-
proved any action intended 70 pro-
woke a boycott Of Wisconsin insti-
