APW Program Suffers Reduction From $40 To S7 n1i..:on

The budget estimate of S20 million for the Alaska Public Works program was reduced to S7 million by the committee The committee, " the port stated, has eliminated all funds requested for projects requiring authorizing elections by the resi- dents of the local communIti-s where the same have rot been held. In addition, the committee has eliminated funds for other projects for which the final plans and specifications are not either in the final stages of dcV V-lop- ment or completed. '
 In allowing the same amount appropriated during the 1852 fiscal year, the committee report concluded, The committee re ceived testimony during the hearings which would indicate that very little effort has been made by the Alaska Public Works Office or by the munich palities benefiting from this pro gram to raise their half of the cost of the desired project or even to prepare final plans and specifications on which solid estimates could be based, before seeking federal fund from Con gress. It is not the committed intention to appropriate in a vacuum. Definite evidence to the effect that the municipalities seeking benefits from this pro gram have made positive efforts to assume their share of respon- sibility will be required for all projects hereafter"

There's Consolation
For Fight Viewers

The Maxim Robinson fight ap.
Ipeared just as dull on theater tele.
vision here as It was at Yanket

customers at three Washington
movie houses didn't have to con.
tend with the heat.
Announcer Bill Corum drew 9
laugh from the air-cooled Capito
Theater crowd with his talk Of
|104-degree heat. Later, though
Jas first Ruby Goldstein and ther
Robinson wilted, it was obvious
Corum wasn't exaggerating.
The strange ending was greeted
with just about so per cent each
|of boos and cheers at the Capitol
The crowd felt Maxim won by not
fighting. That's the way it ap-
peared on the screen.
Until about the 18th round the
Capitol Theater crowd was a dis
appointed one. The fight wasn't
much, and until Robinson fell
down after missing a right in the
18th, the loudest noises were calls
for action.
The fight also was shown at
Keith's and the Lincoln. but it
was the Capitol's first venture into
theater television. Technically,
the picture didn't appear quite as
sharp as in previous fights seen at

Henry Slight Favorite
Over Moore Toniqhf
By q stoH corespondent Of The s,or

by q Stoft Correspondent OF The StdF
BALTIMORE, June 2e.-Archie
Moore Of st. Louis. the clever and
durable light-heavyweight veteran,
meets Clarence Henry Of Los An
geles in a 10-rounder here tonight
in his first major excursion among
the heavyweights.
Henry is the No. 8 heavyweight
contender, while Moore is ranked
No. l among 175-pound contend
ers, a position he has held of and
on for years. Moore's inability
to get chance at the light-heavy
title has resulted in his announced
decision to try for the top. If a
winner tonight, he will challenge
the winner of the Rocky Marci-
ano-Harry Matthews fight for the
right to challenge Champion Jer-
Sey Joe Walcott.
Tonight's fight at Memorial Sta
dium is promoted by the Variety
Club for the benefit of the Police
Boys Club. It will not be on
radio or television. Moore weighs
about 178 and Henry about 1876.
The younger and heavier Henry
is a slight favorite. He probably
would be more of a choice except
that Moore has built a large fol-
lowing in 10 previous bouts here.
A big supporting program Of
eight preliminaries starting at $3.50
pm. has been scheduled. Among
them Is a five-rounder between
Heavyweight Elkins Brothers of
Washington and Bert Whltehurst
of Baltimore.

time than when I beat him in
Chicago MAY y but I finally
got an opening in the fifth"
ElSnGS baSlI1O July 10.
Davey will fight Basilio July Is
in Chicago, although there's an
outside chance the fight may be
held in Detroit.
Chuck floored Vejar four times
with body punches in their first
fight but this time Chico, 21-year-
old New York University drama
student, went down only once. He
couldn't get up.
Davey. fighting his first head
line bout in his home town, had
chased Vejar all around the ring
after spearing him at one min
ute Of the round with hard right
to the stomach. Davey finally
caught up to him sand fiattened
Chico.
A cheering section from Mich
igan State was included among
the fans who paid $44,544.70.

Davey the first and second round,
6 to 4; Vejar the third round, 6 to
4. and called the fourth round

the bout was scheduled Monday at
Griffith Stadium with no televi-

beer-manufacturing sponsors with
the result that the show will be
seen over a national network ex-
tending as far South as Miami.
The bout will be held at Grif-
fifth Stadium, but if it rains, as it
usually does on nights of Ahearn
promotions, the show will be
moved into Uline Arena.

are winding up rugged training
periods. Smith, unbeaten Wash
