2 Dixon-Yates Foes
Ask SEC DisapprovaI
OF New Firm Setup

Two. major opponents of the
Dixon-Yates project today asked
the Securities Exchange Com
mission to deny approval for the
corporate setup of the Missis-
sippi Valley Generating Co..
which the utility combine has
created to take over some of the
power business Of the Tennessee
Valley Authority in the Mem
phis area.
The commission has set jan
uary 19 for final arguments on
the Mississippi Valley Generate
ing proposal involving construc-
tion of a $107 million steam
plant at West Memphis, Ark.
to send power into iva territory
as replacement for iva power
being used by the Atomic Energy
Commission.
One Of the opposing groups,
the Citizens for iva. told the
SEC that it had called on Gov.
Frank Clement and the Ten
nessee legislature TO give serious
consideration to feasible and
constitutional means of pro-
hibiting the importation Of
Dixon-Yates power across the
Mississippi River" from Arkansas
to Tennessee, %
The American Public Power
Association, composed of more
than 800 publicly owned electric
utility systems in 80 States and
Puerto Rico, loosed a broadside
in attacking the project.
The public power group said
it has good reason to believe"
that the Dixon-Yates project
means higher power rates in the
Tennessee Valley. It also said
that there are many parallels"
between the setup Of Mississippi
Valley. as a subsidiary of Mid
die South Utilities and the
Southern Co. and those corpo-
rate organizations which pro-
duced the evils which the hold
ing company Act was designed
to correct.

asked the SEC for approval
under the Holding Company Act.
The public power group also in
sisted that there is no national

which led the commission earlier

known as Kid Gavilan.
He is the father of three. a
son and two daughters, one of
whom was born last week.
Unlike Olson, Gavilan most of
the time is exuberant and easy
to know-a gay caballero type
who likes to dance the mambo

of a question.
Olson, born in Honolulu of a
Swedish-American father and
Portuguese Hawaiian mother,
now makes his home in San
Francisco. He is the father of
three children.

CHICAGO, April 2.-Gerardc
Gonzales, better known as Kid
Gavilan, and Carl (Bobo) Olson
are graduates from the school
of hard knocks.
Gavilan, the welterweight
champion, has earned nearly a
million dollars in the ring since
he turned pro at the age of II
in 1943.
Olson, at Is, has had several
big paydays since he started pro-
fessional boxing in 1945 and his
biggeSt-about $119,0OO-will be
his cut for defending his five
month-old middleweight title
against Gavilan tonight.
Gavilan's rise to a national
hero of his native Cuba and the
toast of the boxing world is one
Of the trades greatest rags-to-
riches stories.
He was born of humble par
entage on the little isle of
Camaguey, off the coast of Cuba,
where his parents were sugar
cane cutters on a large planta-
ton. Before he was 10, Gavilan
worked beside them in the fields.
First Fight at IL.
At IL, The Kid, full-fledged
70-pounder, entered an amateur
boxing match near the planta-
ton. He won, but when he re-
turned home late that night he
got the licking of his life-from
his mother.
The story goes that the
youngster was so enthralled by
boxing that he walked seven
miles to a little town of Paleseco
to enter another fight. He helped
put up the ring and then went
in and won. His meal for the
day had been one sandwich.
His first manager was Fer
nando Balido, who owned a

skinny legged Slasher, the Cuban
Hawk.
Olson won the middleweight
title vacated by Robinson when
he whipped England's Randy
Turpin at New York last October
81. He since has had one fight,
knocking out Joe Rindone at
San Francisco January % in a
non-title bout.
Gavilan has held the weller
title since he won a 15-round de-
cision over Johnny Bratton after
147-pound confusion which fol-
lowed RobinSon'S climb to 160-
pound champion when he stopped
Jake La Motta in this same Chi
cago Stadium February IA, 1851.
Like Robinson, Gavilan would
have to abandon the 147-pound
title if he defeats Olson tonight.
1t would be no great concern
for The Kid to quit the welter
ranks, since in the last few Of
his seven 147-pound defenses ne
had great trouble making that
weight.
Olson, with a 54-6 record, has
won IL straight since his last
defeat, March Is, 1852, when he
was repulSed in Is rounds in q
title fight with Robinson.
Kid Has Streak of Seven.
Gavilan, who like Olson was
beaten twice by Robinson, has a
98-13-4 record and last was de-
feated in a surprise non-title
loss to Danny Womber, May l,
1858. Since then The Kid has
won seven straight. His last
outing was q 10-round tuneup
victory over Livio Minelli at
Boston March 6.
Olson lacks the punching
power Of Gavilan, although he
shades The Kid in the knockout
department, q to Is. Olson has
been stopped only once. by Rob-
inson at Philadelphia in their
first meeting, October Is. 1850.
Gavilan never has been knocked
out and only twice has been
floored, by Ike Williams and
Carmen BaSilio.
Olson has been sullen and a
bit Of q prima donna the last
few days. It appeared that al
most from the time Gavilan
stared him down in a prelimi-
nary physical examination last
Friday, that The Kid had got
Bobo's goat" Yesterday, Olson
ducked to secret quarters after
1t was announced he did not
have a cold. Gavilan's handlers,
meanwhile. denied The Kid had
a sore right hand.
Boosting AnnOys BObO.
Gavilan has boosted freely
and to Olson'S apparent annoy
ance that he will knock out
Bobo and take on Heavyweight
Champion Rocky Marciano. How
ever, a victorious Gavilan is
under contract to give Olson a
rematch within 80 days.
Olson'S weight advantage, plus
his milling style, have convinced
most experts that Gavilan will
find that a good little man can't
beat a little bigger good man.
Gavilan likes to furry with an
explosive barrage of hooks and
uppercuts with both fists. But
the likelihood is that he'll have
to fight three minutes a round
tonight. because that's what
Olson does. Bobo likes to body
punch at short range, while
Gavilan likes to draw a bead at
long range. AS each has said.
the strategy of battle will
develop after the fight starts and
each has felt out the other.
