Powell Rates
As Marciano's
Top Contender

SAN FRANCISCO @ - Charlie
Powell, the 22-year-old ring giant
who was stopped here last week,
is still the best prospect the heavy
weight division has produced in
this country since Rocky Marciano.
Who says so? Fight experts who
saw Powell suffer seventh-round
technical knockout at the hands
of Charley Norkus say so.
Evaluation of the former San
Francisco 49ers football player
was still going on a week later.
J.J. (Moose) Taussig, whose VIII
lie Meehan thumped out q four
round decision over Jack Demp-
sey in 1918, said he thought Powell
had q brilliant future.
Powell may be champion in a
year or two," Taussig observed.
'He's the best I've seen come
along since Marciano."
Sid Flaherty, manager of mid
dleweight champion Carl (Bobo)
Olson, described Powell as a ''fine
prospect" Billy Newman, an old
timer in the game echoed these
sentiments.
Powell showed that he could
take q real clout on the Jaw. He
stood up under at least q dozen
lefts and rights that would have
felled an OK. He fought from the
second round on with . dislocated
finger on his right hand yet was
ahead on points on all the cards
at the end Of the sixth.
This was Powell's 18th fight and
all hands judged him q top pros
pect in spite Of the defeat - his
first.
AL WE'LL, manage of Marciano,
was 80 impressed with Powell's
ability he offered Suey Welch $25,-
900 for the big fellows contract.
sIf Charlie is worth that much
to Well he's worth twice as much
to me-" the manager snorted.

Deal To MOve
AS Will Be
Closed Monday
By CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN


CHICAGO B-American League
club owners voted unanimusly last
night to shift the Philadelphia Ath.
letics to Kansas City.
The decision at me end of o hec-
tic nine hour meeting all but broke
up the once esteemed position in
baseball of the Mack family. It
signaled the finish of one vivid
chapter in the national pastime
that was etched by the pioneering
Connie Mack and opened what
should be another under Chicago
financier Arnold Johnson.
1t was Johnson, AT, a top man
in a business that crossed 10 mil
lion dollars last year-the Auto.
matte Canteen Co. of America
who found that money on the bar
relhead speaks loudest.
In the final analysis, his bid of
$3,375, 900 to buy out the Macks--
Roy, Earle and Connie-including
Connie Mack Stadium, was irresist-
ible. Win Harridge, president of
the American League, said it was
the only "sound offer made.
Officially, the deal for the 54-
year old franchise viii not DE
closed until Monday. In what was
assumed to be merely a gesture,
Roy Mack was given until II am !,
EST, on that day to announce if he
will sell his stock to Johnson.
This was regarded only small
technicality and league spokes-
man said that Roy "told the meet
ing that he wanted the sale to
johnson completed"
This admission removed the only
block, for Roy strongly had op-
posed his brother Earle and 92-
year old father Connie in the sale
and tried desperately, but vainly,
to raise enough capital to keep
the debt-mired club in Philadel-
phia.
Johnson, who huddled more than
once during the day with Roy,
was completely satisfied that the
deal was closed. He said he would
order engineers to start work to-
day doubledecking the Kansas City
stadium to boost seating capacity
from 5000 to $4,000 by the start
Of the 1855 season.
He said he plans to sell Connie
Mack Stadium to Bob Carpenter,
owner of the, Philadelphia Phillies,
who has been leasing It from the
Macks, and probably viii close
this transaction in Philadelphia
this weekend.
"As for Roy Mack, / plan to
offer him a responsible position
in the Kansas City organization,
Johnson said. "And l also must
give thought to hiring a general
manager and field manager. I'll
do the selecting of them myself"
The Athletics repeatedly were in
debt to the tune of about $780,
900 - figure broken down to
include a $1,20O,O0O mortgage,
$3O0,00 in current bills and $780,
900 to the Jacobs brothers, con-
cessionnaires.
In the sale, Connie Mack Will
receive $4,000 and Earle and Roy
each $3.50, 900 for total of $l,5O4,-
600. Added to the Indebtedness,
this would just about take care
of Johnson's $S,375, 900 price.
Four other parties appeared at
the meeting to make offers, but
Harridge stressed that Johnson's
was the only solid one.

ME pictures on these pages show Ingrid
Il Bergman in an old part but in a new role
The part she plays is the familiar one of
Joan of Arc. with which she has been 50 often
identified. Her new role is that of a star in
grand opera. in the Arthur Honegger work.
Joan At The Stake" performed at the
famed San Carlo Opera House in Naples.
produced by Miss Bergmans husband,
Roberto Rossellini.
Miss Bergman is not singer. Yet her
operate performance may win her more endur-
ing fame than any of the movies she has made
in her long and impressive career. Without
voice. she has made operate history.
She does not sing but rather recites her
lines, written by the noted French poet. Paul
Claudel. who was once ambassador to WASH
ington. Her recitative against background
of chorus and orchestra moved critical
audience of music lovers to tears and IL cur
tain calls.
So complete was the triumph of this nom
singing opera star that she is scheduled to
repeat her performance at La Scala in Milan
- the goal of every opera singer - in April,
and thereafter in Paris. Stockholm and London.
It has even been suggested that, as logical
consequence of her tour, she might expect
someday to play at the Met" in New York
City.
Doahly 0ooA
lHAr would be funny" Miss Bergman
commented wryly when this suggestion was
made, having in mind the furor in this country
over her elopement with Rossellini
That MIR. RosselIini should be responsible
for her present triumph makes it doubly sweet
to Miss Bergman. She was originally drawn
to the Italian movie director by his artistic
achievements. They have since made several
movies together. but this is the first time Miss
Bergman can be said to have benefited from
their artistic association.
Until now, the only notable result of
the Bergman Rossellini association has
been their much -p,,bIicized children.
Joan At The Stake" more than evens
things up. 1t is distinctly Rossellini's artistic
creation. He adapted it from a neglected
oratorio. dramatized it and staged it bril-
liantly with techniques borrowed directly
from the movies. It won for him great crit
ical applause For Miss Bergman it was her
first big success since she left Hollywood
1t is not, however. her first triumph in the
role of Joan of Arc. She has played it in three
versions - stage, screen and now opera -

Power Group Urges
Open SEC Airing Of
Dixon-Yates Findinq
BY the Associated Press

A huge public power group has
asked for a "full public hearing"
on a plan to finance the con-
troversial Dixon-Yates proposal
to furnish private power to the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
The urgent request" for a
hearing was made to the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
by the American Public Power
Association. which from the
start has opposed President Ell
senhower's plan to have the
Atomic Energy Commission con-
tract for the privately produced
power to be delivered to IVA at
Memphis, Tenn.
The public power group asked
the hearing on an application of
one of the principals in the Dix
on-Yates combine. Middle South
Utilities. Inc, to sell 475,000
shares of stock and use part of
the proceeds to finance the COM
pany formed to build a steam
power plant at West Memphis,
Ark.
Organized Company.
Middle South and the South
ern Co.. the other member of
the Dixon-Yates combine, organ
lied the Mississippi Valley Gen.
Grating Co., to build the SLOT
million power plant and deliver
about 100000 kilowatts of power
to the IVA.
The public power letter to the
SEC, released last night over the
signature of President Alex
Radin, says Middle South's appli-
cation states that sale of the
stock is a step in the company's
contemplated investment in
Mississippi Valley.
The letter says the interests
OF many Of the TOO publicly
owned electric utilities which are
members Of the association might
be seriously and adversely" af-
fected by formation of Missis-
sippi Valley to supply power to
IVA.
Sees Act Violation.
It added that need for hear
ing also is indicated "by the
fact that the Dixon-Yates pro-
gosal appears to be in violation
Of the purposes Of the Holding
Company Act of 1885," Both
Middle South and Southern are
utilities holding companies.
The proposed Dixon Yates
contract has been a bitter issue
for months. It set off a vigorous
13-day Senate debate which ad-
ministration leaders called a
ull-fiedged filibuster" over the
atomic energy bill.
The contract was attacked by
Democratic National Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell who termed
1t a raw deal in which the
Dixon-Yates group was given
preferential treatment.
