Maxim Sets His Sights
On Marciano Crown
After Beating Nardico
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

MIAMI. Fla, Mar. 5.-Joey
Maxim. the fancy master of the
left jab, was back in the boxing
business today after winning a
unanimous 10-round decision
over Danny Nardico, young
Tampa Slugger.
They said Joey was all washed
up after Archie Moore lifted his
light-heavyweight crown in St.
Louis December II, and many
fans doubted the 30-year- old
Maxim'S ability to handle
Nardico.
But joey, a bit plump around
the middle at 1872 pounds,
stood off the charging Nardico
with ease in Miami Stadium last
night, although he had to
scramble of the deck in the sew
enth when Nardico caught him
with a right to the head.
NardicO Weighed 17612 Pounds.
The former champs manager,
Jack Kearns, declared after the
fight that joey not only was
back on the right trail but
planned to go after Rocky
Marciano's heavyweight cham
pionship.
Points for Marciano.
well fight Roland LaStarZa
first if necessary" Kearns said,
but Marciano'S the one we
want"
Asked about the contract CIV
ing Maxim a return fight with
Moore, KearnS said, "we'u take
Moore when the right time
comes"
Jim Norris, International Box
ing Club president, tossed cold
water on the idea of Maxim
campaigning in the heavyweight
ranks. Norris said:
Il don't know that LaStarza
wants Maxim. He's in good shape
after his win over Rex Layne
and I don't think it would be
fair to let Maxim have Marciano
and Keep LaStarza, Layne and
Ezzard Charles waiting"
Marciano will meet Joe Wal
colt in a return title fight April
10 in Chicago.
Maxim was more Of a fighter
than he has been in a long time
as he pounded the 25-year-old
Nardico's face with his left and
threw his right hand in a sur
prisingly- effective fashion. He
piled up a big early lead while
making Nardico miss badly with
his long right swings.
joey had just pounded home
two slashlng rights at Nardico's
jaw in the seventh when the ex-
Marine caught him going away
with right high on the head
the same right that tumbled
Jake LaMotta to the floor for
the first time in his career last
New Years Eve.
Maxim Pops Up Quickly.
So startled was Maxim when
he hit the canvas for the first
time in many years that he
popped up without taking the
benefit of the required eight
count.
THAT was real nice punch"
Maxim said in his dressing room.
II heard the birds. It was the
only time he hit me, though"
Referee Cy Gottfried gave
Maxim the fight, 81 to 81. Judge
Norton CANCER called it 1894.
Judge Marty Monroe scored it
1894.
The fight, televised nationally
(CBS). drew only 5,525 fans, who
paid a gross gate of $21,717.
Each fighter received 30 per cent

Mr.. Klingle and Mr.. Culver

BY the Asseeioted Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 8.-All re-
quests for Federal matching
funds for civil defense units in
Virginia have been filled this
year, State Defense Chief j. H.
Wyse said today.
Not only were all local requests
met, but the Federal ALLEGATION
of 1923, 1895 was not entirely used
because localities petitioned for
only $301,771.
Under the civil defense pro-
gram, the Federal Government
puts up half the money used to
buy equipment and supplies with
the State and local governments
putting up one-fourth each. All
operating cost must be paid by
the localities.

Smear Campaign Is Charged
BY School Board Candidate

James r. Miles, sr., one of the
Arlington Independent Move
ment candidates for the school
board, has charged his opponents
planned a smear campaign and
they just do not intend. to change
their plans"
He was referring to the refusal
of Nominating Conference candi-
dates Clark Keating and~Dr. E.
R. Draheim to attend a meeting
to discuss "areas of agreement
and disagreement" before the
campaign.
The invitation was issued by
Richard L. Parli, Republican
candidate for another Office, a
seat on the Arlington County
Board.
Name Calling Contests"
The Nominating Conference
candidates said that, THE de-
generation into an emotional,
name-calling contest as referred
to in Mr.. Parli's invitation re-
fleets the attitude and actions
to date of no one other than
Independent Movement candi-
date James Miles"
All members of the School
Board have been nominees of
the conference since the board
became an elective body in 1948.
Since then, the school system
has undergone a vast expansion
program.
Independent Movement, which
last year elected three members
of the Arlington County Board,
is critical of the School Board.
Only Weapon They Have.
Dolph Hays, Arlington at
torney who is running with Mr..
Miles against the conference
nominees, has accused the
School Board of extravaganza
and says he will work for mini
mum cost administration.

Specie Dispatch 10 The stor

BALTIMORE, Aug. 8.-George
P. Mahoney, expected to run for
governor next year, today COM
pleted a six-day, 1,000-mile tour
of western Maryland.
Mr.. Mahoney visited 43 COM
munities in Garrett, Allegany,

ported me in 1850 and 1882"

successful candidate for governor

Evening star., 1953-08-09

Mr.. Miles has launched a more
sweeping attack on the board.
In his statement regarding the
conference nominees refusal to
attend Mr.. Parli's meeting, Mr..
Miles said, II didn't really be-
lieve that they would agree to
stop Singing mud, because it's
the only weapon they have. Nor
did I believe they would have
kept such an agreement if they
had made it,"
Since they must know that
a campaign such as they pro-
pose to conduct will react I'M
favorably on our children, they
have demonstrated again the
responsibility that the COM
munity has come to expect of
them," Mr.. Miles said.
Cites "Intemperate" Terms.
He said he was not surprised
at the reply of DR.. Draheim and
Mr.. Keating because for a long
time "they have been calling
me, and every one else who dis
agreed with them, names such
as Fascist and 'attacker of
schools"
Mr.. Miles said that the
speeches at the Nominating Con-
vention were filled with in
temperate terms such as court
house gang and tools of the
special interests In recent let
ters to the editor they referred
to me as 'demagogue' and 'rab-
BILE rouser.'"
"Since they cannot defend
their miserable record on the
School Board" Mr.. Miles added,
there is nothing left for them
to do except to use diversionary
tactics and throw up a smoke
screen of name calling to hide
the issues"

K Street Bridge Plan
Given Top Priority
By Arlington Board

The Critical traffic situation"
in Arlington was cited by the
Arlington County Board yester-
day as it voted unanimously to
recommend giving the E street
bridge plan top priority.
A resolution adopted by the
board declared a bridge across
the Potomac from Arlington
boulevard to New Hampshire
avenue and E street NV. would
serve a far greater number of
people than any bridge outside
the central area"
The critical condition of Ar
lington traffic was attributed to
a rapid increase of traffic cross
ing the Potomac and present
overlooking and delay on exist
ing bridges.
Wider Key Bridge Urged.
The boards resolution also
called for widening of Key
Bridge and immediate construc-
ton of a ramp from the Virginia
end of Key Bridge to the west
bound lane of the George Wash
ington Memorial highway.
The E street bridge could be
designed, the Arlington resolu-
ton maintained, without inter-
fering with any proposed use of
Theodore Roosevelt Island.
The board suggested the bridge
might be namel the Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial Bridge.
Jones Point Span Backed.
Although the Theodore Roose-
velt Memorial Association has
protested a bridge across the
island, Clarence A. Davis, Solicit
or of the Interior Department
said Friday that Congress could
legally authorize the bridge. He
added it was his belief Congress
would also have to compensate
the Roosevelt association.
The board also recommended
that "a bridge of second priority
be constructed at the Jones
Point area in Alexandria as soon
as possible"
Third on the boards priority
list was a proposed bridge in the
Nebraska avenue-Chain bridge
area.

An Arlington School Board re-

Virginia State literary fund for

the State, it was announced yes

be finished far more than the

Another source of delay to
school projects, the board was
told, is a plumbers strike now

the county will have to go on
double shifts this fall if present
