Is Investigated

New York (NNPA). - Big-time
boxing practices are being investi-
gated by the Justice Department,
Harry Markson, managing director
of the International Boxing Club,
disclosed last Tuesday night.
Representative of the govern
ment have been around for sew
eral days talking to- managers,
fighters and others connected with
the SPORT" Markson said.
"They haven't talked with Jim
Norris or with anyone in our
organization yet, but we've known
they've been around town.
"We welcome such an investiga-
ton. We can stand it."
In Chicago last Wednesday Tru-
man K. Gibson, Jr., chief of the
Chicago division of the organiza-
ton, explained the organizational
setup of the IBC, pointing out
that the club actually is made up
Of four separate corporations =
IBC of New York, IBC of Michi-
gan, IBC of Missouri, and IBC of
Illinois, each operating under the
laws of that state.
Gibson said he is secretary and
James D. Norris, president, of all
four companies. Otherwise the Of
ficers are different, except in the
case of Ludolph Kassebaum of Chi
cago. who is treasurer of the Mis-
souri, and Michigan corporations, in
addition to the one in Illinois.
Arthur Wirtz, who with Norris
owns Chicago Stadium and Detroit
Olympia, is member of the IBC
Board, as are Norris, Gibson, Gen.
eral John Reed Fitzpatrick, and Ned
Irish, the latter two of New York
Last month two Senators in
troduced a resolution demanding
an immediate investigation of box
ing, contending the sport was af-
fected by "monopolistic practices u
Senator Harry P. Cain, Republican
of Washington, asked that IBC be
probed to see if it has been en-
gaging in vicious monopolistic con-
tract practices"
Senator Herman Welker, Repub-
lican, of Idaho, who introduced
the resolution along with Senator
Cain, charged that "the Interna-
tional Boxing Club is closed cor
poration which governs and con-
trolls the proboxing business in
most every major city in the Uni
ted States"
Welker and Cain contended that
Harry Matthews, promising light
heavyweight from Seattle, was be-
ing given the run-around by the
IBC, although he had earned a
shot at the T75-pound title.
The International Boxing Club
with headuarters in New Yorw
City, stages many of it's big bouts
in Madison Square Garden. 1t also
has outlets in Detroit, Chicago

Two West Coast Maritime Unions Threaten Tie-up

SAN FRANCISCO, P-Lead- CTS of two of the West Coasts biggest maritime unions threaten to disrupt the week-old peace on the waterfront.
 Harry Lundberg, head of the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific, said his men will strike shipping on the entire coast if the SUP is not given cargo work on steam schooners.
 Waterfront observers inter- preted it as an answer to Harry Bridges International Longshore- mems and Warehousemen's Union drive to win all cargo rights on the schooners.
 Meanwhile, the HWU voiced a new threat. Its executive board said disapproval by the Wage Stabilization Board for newly-ne- gotiated wage increases would be "the signal for simultaneous stop work meetings"

? Young Gunmen Kidnapped, Attack 2O-Year-Old Bride

ARLINGTON, Va, R-A 2O- year-old bride was kidnapped early yesterday from Her bedroom by two young gunmen who, she said, took her 10 miles to a riverside park, raped her -four times and attempted to shoot her.
 Police said the shooting at- tempt failed only because the kid napers' rifle misfired.
 The pretty, blond victim was Mrs. Nancy Hotchkiss, wife of Navy Ensign James Hotchkiss and member of socially prominent Winnetka, H., family. They were married 10 days ago and had been living in their first floor apart ment only couple of days.
 After the attacks, Mrs. Hotch- kiss was driven back to the vicin- ity of her home and dumped out of her abducter's car. Within four hours, police seized two suspects and said they admitted the crimes.
 The police quoted the two as saying they went to the Hotchkiss apartment with the intention of robbing the place. Both were held on kidnap charges.

Several Senators Intend To Kill
 Price Control Act

WASHINGTON, R = Th e House Banking Committee voted 2l to 3 yesterday for a 31-day extension of the present Price Control Act.
 The idea is to give Congress more time to consider a new, re- vised law. Without congressional action to keep it alive, the present law will expire Saturday mid night.
 Influential senators are fighting any such "stop-gap" move and there appears to be danger the Saturday deadline may arrive without a new law or any action to retain the old one.
 In that case, the whole govern ment control program would col lapse.
 Senator Maybank D-SC) de- clared that several senators Gin tend to talk and talk and talk" to kill any move in the Senate for a stop-gap extension of the old law.

Iran Premier Expresses
 Confidence U. s. Support Naturalization Program

Naturalization Program
 TERRAIN, Iran, (R = Premier Mohammed Mossadegh, in a per- sonal letter yesterday to Presi- dent Truman, expressed confid- ence the United States would support Trans naturalization pro- gram.
 The letter contained no hint of compromise, nor did it make any reference to rumors that MT. Truman might be asked ito assume the role of mediator.
 Mossadegh blamed the British for threatening to shut down the flow of Iranian oil to the west.
 The letter was made public shortly after Iran sent a formal protest to neighboring Iraq for permitting the British cruiser Mauritius to enter Iraqi waters near the Iranian oil center of Abadan.
 Iran said the presence of the cruiser and British troops in Iraq was a breach of the Iran-Iraqi friendship pact. British troops are in Iraq under treaty arrange ments.
 The letter to MT. Truman said the Anglo-Iranian Company must be responsible if the Abadan re- finery closes down.

The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee intends to invite all
persons whose names have been
brought under fire in the probe
Of the Institute of Pacific Rela-
tions to defend themselves, "un-
der oath and on the record"
Chairman McCarran announced
this decision yesterday in a state
notwithstanding plans for ex-

manner in which charges have
been made before the group.
The Senator cautioned against
drawing any conclusions from the
early testimony until all the facts
are on the record.
Picture Not Complete.
Senator McCarran's statement
said the public must realize that
"the record to date is only par
tial and should be considered only
in its applicability to the whole
picture as it is developed" 1t
added:
mot all of those persons whose
activities have been challenged
have had the opportunity to de-
fend themselves. The subcom-
mittee desires that any person
whose personal or professional
opinion or action has been the
subject of testimony shall have a
chance to reply, under oath and
on the record.
Court Hearings Delayed.
"It is thus only fair that we
should withhold judgment until
the proper time"
The subcommittee had planned
to hold hearings in the near fu-
ture on the West Coast to begin
another phase of its investigation.
They have been postponed indefi-
nitely, however, because of Sen
ator McCarran's sudden illness.
