GiardeIIo III Pick
Over Panter in Bout
Al Garden Tonight
BY the Asseeioied Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. - joey
Giardello. the only fighter with
a Supreme Court decision over
Bob Christenberry. risks his No.
3 ranking in the middleweigi1t
class tonight against Garth
Painter of Salt Lake City.
The 10-rounder will be held at
Madison Square Garden and will
be carried over national radio
and televiSion network.
The fight will be heard in
Washington over WMAL (630
and seen over WNBW. Chan
mel I. beginning at 10 pm.
Ever since the courts reversed
the reversal' by Christenberry,
chairman Of the New York State
Athletic Commission. to give
Giardello a disputed decision
over Billy Graham, the Phiiadel-
phia boxer has been q more de-
termined boxer. His 1858 record,
not including the court ruling,
was 6-2 for eight bouts. He lost
only to Graham in a 12-rcund
rematch and to Johnny Saxton
at 1S5 pounds.
On the strength of victories
over fighters like Gil Turner,
Ernie Durando and Walter Car
tier, Giardello is a 21a-to-1 IA
Vorite over the strong -jawed
Painter. Joey's career record for
81 bouts is 46-l0-5.
Painter also has gained conf
dence since he cracked the TV
circuit. His most important
victories in 1853 were scored
over Pierre Langlois and Cartier
although he lost to Cartier in a
return bout. In his last outing,
Painter whipped Norman Hayes
at Detroit, December 2. His
record is 52-12-2.
The fans expect Giardello, a
good boxer-puncher with a tai
ented left, to take charge of the
onrushing Painter who claims he
never was knocked off his feet.
Last year was the most
profitable in Giardello'S career.
He repeatedly earned about
$4,000 with the help of several
TV fights. Now he has set his
goal at 100000 for "a.
If Giardello gets past Painter,
as expected, he has a February

a court-martial, Gen. Zwicker
replied:

but it could not have changed
anything that was done in carry

AS the questioning in the
closed hearing continued, the

waxing warmer. Senator Nc
earthly asked if a man would
have been discharged if he had
gone out and had stolen $50 the
night before, and the general
replied that he wouldn't have
been.
DO you think stealing $50 is
more serious than being a traitor
to the country as part of the
Communist conspiracy Sena-
tor Mccarthy asked.
That, sir. was not my de-
cision." Gen. Zwicker replied.

with double talk, and said at

He asked what Gen. Zwicker

Il am all for it,"
Senator Mccarthy then

tons which led him to say that
Gen. Zwicker should be IRE

He cited hypothetical case

In further questioning, Gen.

objected at any time to this man

Mr.. Stevens charged in a state
ment that he had been subjected
to humiliating treatment and had
carried the case to other mem
bers of the Senate subcommittee
on the basis of an affidavit sup
piled by the general.
While varying somewhat from
published reports of what went
on in the closed New York hear
ing, the transcript disclosed that
Gen. Zwicker underwent rigorous
questioning. with Senator Nc
earthly showing scant considera-
ton for his rank.
The transcript brought out
that DR.. PereSS was given a

request. after testifying before

Zwicker Denies Hedging.
In pressing Gen. Zwicker to
say whether he knew Maj. Peress
had refused to answer questions
about Communist connections,

truthful. I am going to keep
you here as long as you keep

said. 81 can't help impugning

US you did not know whether

tivities."
Gen. Zwicker claimed that

vented him from answering some

was merely carrying out orders
