Ram O. War Moved Up.
Bruce Campbell's Ram O. War

Speedy K0 Episode
Over Unless WaIcoti
Takes Case 10 Court
By the Associoted Press

CHICAGO. May 19.-Unless
Felix Bocchicchio goes to court
to prove somehow that pictures
lie, the Rocky Marciano-Jersey
Joe Walcott episode is closed.
Bocchicchio, Walcott's man.
ager, was among those present
yesterday for a special showing
of three e-dimensional films of
Friday nights heavyweight
championship bout.
The moving pictures showed
definitely that Walcott received
a full count of 10 after his first
round knockdown by Champion
Marciano.
Bocchicchio and Walcott had
claimed Referee Frank Sikora
dished out a fast count. Boc-
chicchio maintained, even after
the evidence of the films was
submitted, that he still thought
the count was fast.
His lawyer, Angelo Malandra,
declared the pictures were ed
tied and did not depict the actual
action"
However. Chairman Livingston
Osborne and Lou Radzienda and
Johnny Behr. the other members
of the Illinois Athletic Commits
sion, were not swayed by what
Radzienda called this kind of
nonsense" ......
Protest Points DiSalIOwed.
At a meeting following the
movies. the commission disal-
lowed all five points of Bocchic-
chio's protest that the result be
set aside.
The commission said the
knockout at 2:25 of the first
round Stands as official"
Furthermore, Osborne said he
was disappointed in Jersey Joe's
showing and added firmly: HE
should retire. I think Walcott
was through when he went into
the ring"
Besides the charge of fast
count. Bocchicchio and Malandra
based their protest on four other
arguments: Marciano was not in
a neutral corner when the count
started; Sikora was escorting
Marciano to Walcott's corner
when the timekeeper started the
count; Walcott actually was up
before the count of 10, and the
ring was not regulation size and
too heavily padded.
The commission disallowed the
first three on the basis of ring
side observation and the evidence
OF the films, which contradicted
each one. Answering the COM
plant about the ring, Osborne
pointed out that the padding
was that recommended by the
National Boxing Association and
that the ring. 18 by 18 feet
square, met Illinois regulations
and had been used often in the
past
Films Show Four Angles.
AS for the "fast count" the
Sd films - taken from four
angles and run off at both normal
tempo and in slow motion
showed that Walcott stirred only
slightly at the audible count of

This sort of knocks for loop
those recent claims we've been
hearing that trucks are paying as
much as 40 times the taxes as
are automobiles and therefore are
paying more than their share of

Cohen said the cost study re-
Gently completed by Engineer D.
F. Pancoast of the departments
planning and study division repre-
sented two and a half years of
research. He said it was based on
the ''incremental theory" which
means simply that if you have to
add an inch of pavement to take
care of heavier truck, that
heavier truck should assume its
share of the cost.
Applying his studies to the 20
year road improvement programs
as recommended by the Ohio
Program Commission, Mr.. Pan
coast found that the owners OF
the heaviest rigs in Ohio should
be paying $3514 a year in taxes
in the median year Of the pro-

This Is 81 times what the
study showed the owner of an
automobile should be paying by
then," Cohen added. He said this
type of combination rig in Ohio
now is paying yearly taxes total
ling about $1198.
Discussing the weight-distance
tax proposal now before the Gen.
eral Assembly, Mr.. Cohen said
its the fairest method of taxing
