CoekeII Impressive
In Beating Matthews;
Will Scout Marciano
BY the As.oeiotsd Press

LONDON, June 2.-Don Cock
ell, British heavyweight cham
pion who makes q speciality sof
defeating Americans, flies to New
York in two weeks to scout the
Rocky Marciano- -Ezzard Charles
fight but he hopes it won't be
the last he'll see Of Rocky In q
fight ring. @
After his successes against Ro-
land La Starza in March and
against Harry Matthews last
night. Cockell is eager to take q
shot at Rocky and the world
heavyweight crown. Last nights
victory was more impressive than
the Briton'S split decision over
Matthews last August in Seattle.
Wins Despite Low Blows.
Cockell did himself and his
Marciano project a lot of good
in taking last nights 10-round
decision from Matthews before
a crowd Of $4,000 at White City
Stadium. He was awarded the de-
cision by Referee Jack Hart de-
spite three low blows and a warn
ing for hitting with his elbows.
Practically every one agreed
Cocken won with a distinct but
not an overwhelming edge. The
Associated Press score card had
the Briton winning five rounds.
Matthews four and one even.
COckelI Switches Attack.
Midway in the scrap Cockell,
who weighed 21012 to Matthews
1902, switched his attack from
the Americans body to his head
and scored effectively. But
Matthews finished stronger and
toward the end Cockell'S blows
began to stray below the belt.
Just as he did against La
Starza, the British champion
used his bulk to perfection.
Matthews often was rocked
back, not by Cockell's punches,
but by the Briton's bull-like
rushes.
The decision was greatly
needed by the British fight busi-
ness. Now that Randy Turpin
and Yolande Pompey have
dropped out of the top class.
Chubby Don is the onlv hip
drawing card left.
But even Cockell couldn't fill
the stadium's $4,000 seats. Jack
SolomonS said he lost about
$4,000 on the promotion. The
gate was unofdcially estimated
at $150,000 but of that the
British government gets one
third in taxes.

two more of his world records
and he can thank a French for

He stepped the miles in

28:54.2, compared to his old
marks of 28:08.4 and 29:O1.6.
But after the race the grimac-

medals at the 1852 Olympics,

An advance on the $4,000

has said the 18th hole at Cavalier
is the best finishing hole in the
country. We finally find a point
on which we're in agreement
with Sarazen.
The finishing par 3 at the

Some Of the pros were talking

The handicap he uses is wrong,
but it's based on the scores he
turns in." one of the pros said.
There were scattered instances
of extremely low net scores
where the players were having
career rounds" as the pros
say. Such as Vince Pischiotta
at Bethesda, who broke 100 for
the third time-this time by Is
strokes with an IS, or j. PAUL
Marshall at Chevy Chase. who
won the Victor Kaufman
Memorial Day Cup with q IA,
the best round of his life.
That's not the type golfer
we're referring to. It's the ones
who are constantly in the
roundup with net scores, which
is their score minus handicap,

Mel Shorey, the Indian Spring
pro, is on the trail of all golfers
who fail to replace turf, and he
has come up with a pertinent
observation.
Too many golfers who replace
the turf, Mel says, replace it at
the nearest convenient bare spot,
instead of walking back to the
divot hole where the turf came
from.
Shorey believes Prince Georges
has the right idea-suspension
for the third offense of not re-
placing a divot. If he had his
way, that would be a Nation

A select few representing the

that left Debby without compe-

Chevy Chase 70 Play
Argyle tomorrow
For Women's 5 Title

Chevy Chase and Argyle, the
one-two teams in the Women's
District Golf Associations first
team championship, meet to-
morrow morning at Belle Haven
in q match that will determine
the new first team champion.
Both leaders and the runners
up were extended to score
squeaky 5-4 triumphs yesterday
at Washington G6SCC. but that
left Chevy Chase on top by 71a
! points with two matches to go.
With its sizeable lead, Chevy
Chase could lose as much as
to 2 to Argyle and still take a
2R-point lead into the final
match.
Argyle. which has had its very
best team only in its 0h-to-k
victory over Kenwood's defend
ing champions early in the sea-
son. hopes to have its top players
available. However, four of the
Argyle players work. and whether
the strongest team is available
will not be known until the last
minute.
Washington on Top.

division Of the second teams was
settled when Washington G&CC
defeated Quantico. 71a to ia at
Belle Haven. Washington will
meet Army-Navy for the second

Calvert and Mrs. John Connolly
added 21a in the second and Mrs.
j. G. Schnitzer and Mrs. Roger
Washburn two in the third
bracket for Washington's win
ming total.
Argyle gave Chevy Chase a
chance to put the first team
crown beyond reach yesterday
when it won only 5-4 over Belle
Haven, as Mrs. James Swink and
Mrs. John Mancos of Belle Haven
took 2l5 points from Betty
CARRIER and Mrs. Richard Foley
of Argyle.
But Chevy Chase had a scrap
on its hands against seventh
place Congressional, as the lead
ers were held to their lowest
point total of the season.
Mrs. Ferriday Has SO.

Tax Rate Reduced
For Employers

The Federal Law formerly re-
quired an employer to have three
years of employment experience
before he could get a reduced tax
rate. In 1947 the Florida LegisIa-
ture, in order to encourage new
industry in the State, amended the
Florida Unemployment Compensa-
ton Law automatically giving eff
feet to any reduction by the Fed
.eral in the required employment
experience.
The Federal Law has been chan
ged effective January 1, 1855, per-
mitting recomputation of a tax
rate for employers who have had
four calendar quarters of exper-
ience (six quarters of liability.
This means that employers who
have been paying the maximum
rate of 2.7 per cent because they
have not had the required three
years of experience will be eligi-
BILE for consideration for a reduc-
ed rate much earlier than would
have been possible prior to the
change in the Law. Based on their
experience, such employers may be
able to qualify for a rate less than
they are now paying. Rates will be
re-computed beginning January /,
1855, and employers will be noti-
fled in ample time to take advan-
tage of any tax reduction.
The shortening of the experience
period necessary for a lower tax
rate will reduce the total amount
of income under the present tax
schedule and will undoubtedly re-
quire a re-study of the schedule.

UNITED NATIONS, NY. R -
U.N. employees, including 1855
Americans, were told today to put
loyalty to the U.N. above Loyalty
% their own countries.
They were warned at the same
time to steer clear of revolutionary
activity aimed at the forcible
overthrow of any government-and
even of "active criticism of gov.
ernment.'
The advice was given in a new
16-page handbook on behavior
titled, Report on Standards oi
Conduct in the International Civil
Service" !"
The report came from the nine
member International Civil Ser.
vice Advisory Board, a permanent
body created by the 1916 General
Assembly.
1t was directed at the 5,1s7 en-
ployes Of the U.N. here and abroad
and the 5000 or SO employees Of
10 affiliated specialized agencies
in Washington, Montreal, Paris,
Rome, Geneva and Bern. Latest
figures from the US. mission here
indicate 1855 American citizens
are employed by the U.N. and 753
by the specialized agencies.
IN case of any conflict between
national and international loyalties,
the report said, ''the conduct oi
the international civil servant must
clearly reflect his obligation to the
international organization
Amy appearance of disloyalty to
that organization" it added, "Must
be considered incompatible with
his status"
The staff member will find this
idea easier to take, it cleared,
if he reflects that, "from the long
range point of view, legitimate ma
tional interests can only be served
by the successful progress oi
the international organizations" TO-
ward world peace and prosperity.
If he can't take it, the report
went on, he should quit.
ALI staff members, the manual
emphasized, "are, during their pc
riod Of service, international Off,
cials" and 'smust clearly under
stand that they are not, in any
sense, representatives of a national
government or of a national poll
cy."
But in the interest of good rela-
tons with governments, it said, no
U.N. employe should ''engage in
any active criticism of a govern
ment or in any activity which un-
dermines or discredits its author
ity.' It went on:
