Atty. Eugene Denman, Toledo,
is representing the city in the cur
rent injunction case. He was en-
ployed to handle the legal aspects
only through the local courts. AS
the airport controversy may be
taken to higher courts, city Off
cials felt that further legal assist
ance is needed.
City Solicitor John Reinheimer,
who had previously represented
Milton Hersberger's Air Tours,
Inc, months ago told council that
he was prejudiced and could not
represent the city in airport mat
terS.
Mr.. Bracken said the city had
billed Air Tours, Inc, for landing
fees totaling over $4,000 since the
injunctions were granted, and that
Mr.. Hersberger has not paid any
thing on the bills.
Councilmen and Board of Pub
lie Affairs members stated that it
would be advisable to pay out a
thousand dollars for legal aid to
collect the much higher bill they
claim Air Tours, Inc, owes the
city.
After the motion to hire anoth-
er attorney was approved, Coun-
Gilman Adair WILDER suggested
the Board of Public Affairs should
contact the city solicitor regard
ing airport matters before talking
them over with the new attorney.

ALAN MOODY TO GET BIG
CHANCE IN AUG. 8
TV BOUT

In Chicago boxing fans who
actually attend fights are buzz
ing about a local boy, Alan
Moody, who lives in the little all
Negro suburb of Robbins, Ill. They
whisper that Moody is good, but
nobody is going overheard because
they all remember Chuck Davey.
Saturday night, Aug. 8 young
Moody will get his opportunity to
hit the big time because he will
be pitted in a nationally televis-
ed 10-round bout against veteran
Irving Steen.
Moody is a welterweight who
has lost only one fight in q bouts
as a pro. He will face Steen from
the Rainbo Arena in Chicago. AL
though this will be Moody's sec
ond appearance on television, this
will be his first time as head
liner. He previously appeared in
a sort of new faces" Information
al Boxing club show.
Steen will provide for Moody
his first stern opposition. Steen is
not a great fighter or anything
like that, but he probably is the
most rugged welterweight trial
horse on the scene. He has fought
and lost to such men as Johnny
Bratton, providing a lively scrap
nevertheless.
Recently, however, he scored a
a terrific upset in outpointing Joe
Micelli in 10 rounds in New York.
This was July 7. If Steen is that
good Moody will have a rough
night. He will have to be good to
win.
This ringsider will stick with
Moody as a young fighter coming
up.

SOME PREDICTIONS ON
COMING BOUTS

Several bouts are coming up
during the next two weeks. Al
though none of them will be a
championship, they are worth
mention and speculation.
Top bout is a middleweight biff
between weller king Kid Gav1-
Ian and middleweight joey Giar-
dello Aug. 10 in Philadelphia. The
outcome of this bout will have
great bearing on two divisions
the lat pound and the 100 pound.
If the Kid loses, he probably
will give serious consideration to
the defense of his title and those
hungry challengers can try their
luck once more. If he wins then
the middleweights had better look
out. He probably would defend
his title once more for the money
until he could get a shot at the
100 pound throne.
He could very easily challenge
the winner of the Randy Turpin-
Carl (Bobo) Olson title match and
get the fight. There are few good
middleweights and the new cham
pion will need an opponent with
fan appeal like Gavilan to cash
in on his laureS.
A victory for Giardello also
could mean a title bout for him.
Although Joey will have weight,
this ringsider says the Cuban Kid
will win.
Another interesting bout VIII
be the third of the so-called In
ternational Boxing club heavy
weight elimination" series-Bob
Satterfield VS.. Tommy Harrison.
If Satterfield wins he can demand
a bout with Dan Bucceroni or even
the champion. He is an explosive
fighter who when in good shape
provides thrilling kayo action
Either Bob knocks out his foe or
gets conked, himself.
A fight between him and Rocky
Marciano should be short, but very
sweet for those who love drama.
II Harrison wins it will go back
to oblivion for Satterfield and
possible rematch with Bucceron1
for Tommy.
These men will battle Aug. ~ In
Chicago. Assuming that Satter-
field is in good shape, this ian
thinks he should win.
Another slated bout is an Aug.
ii brawl between Ezzard Charles,
former heavy king, and Nino VAL
des. so-called Cuban champion, In
Miami Beach. This is just another
fight to keep Charles busy until
he can get a chance to regain the
heavyweight crown. Valdes is not
much of a fighter, and Charles
should have no trouble with him.

7 Scientists Express
Conflicting Views
On Atomic Proposal

Chairman David L. Hill Of the
Federation Of American Scien-
lists halls President Eisenhower's
atom pool proposal as a practi-
cal step toward breaking the
seven-year international dead
lock on atomic energy.
But DR.. Ralph Lapp, who
worked on the wartime Manhat-
tan Project that developed the
A-bomb, objected to Gen. Eisen-
hower's proposal for interna-
tional development of industrial
atomic energy. He said this
might cause fears because the
fashionable material in power
plants could be diverted into
bombs.
The scientists spoke out after
Gen. Eisenhower laid his inter-
national atomic proposals before
the United Nations yesterday.
New Hope for Mankind.
On behalf of the Federation
of American Scientists. DR.. Hill
said:
"The Presidents impressive
address brings new hope to
peace-loving men everywhere
that the great power of the atom
may ultimately be diverted from
the horrible ends of war to the
creation of a new level of human
welfare. =.
"The President has pointed
the way to an immediate and
practical step for breaking the
seven-year deadlock in efforts to
achieve international control of
atomic energy. BY providing
facts and perspective on the
magnitude of the problem the
President has challenged not
only the leaders but the peoples
Of the world.
$50 great are the possible
gains to men of all nations that
no effort should be spared on
any side to realize this first in

tional use of atomic energy

"One should question the ad-
visibility of launching an atomic
power program in time of un-
settled world conditions.
He said he had hoped the
