CLEVELAND, Dec. l.-Roland
LaStarza and Rocky Castellani,
a pair Of handsome boxers with
lost championship bids in their
memories. meet two powerful
sluggers tonight on the Cleve-
land News annual toyshop box
ing card.
LaStarza, OF New York, once
the top ranked heavyweight
contender. will be opening a
comeback drive in a Hereunder
against crude but hard hitting
opponent, Charlie Norkus of Port
Washington, N. Y. That bout
will be teleyised from the Cleve-
land Arena.
tThe fight will be seen In
Washington over WTOP,
Channel 8, beginning at 10
PM
Castellani, Of Cleveland. like
LaStarza q fancy boxer, meets
Moses Ward of Detroit, another
middleweight who counts more
on punching power than foot
work skill. That fight also is
scheduled for 10 rounds.
The experienced LaStarza WAS
a 3-to-2 favorite over the Wild
swinging Norkus, while Castel-,
lani was favored over Ward at
9 to 5.
LaStarza has been out of ac-
ton since he lost close one to
England's Don Cockell in Lon
don last March 80. In 1853 La
StarZa was stopped in II rounds
in a title fight with Champion
Rocky Marciano.
Insisting he whipped Cockell.
LaStarza is trying to earn a re-
turn crack at the chubby Eng
lishman. now the No. 2 con-
tender, or a shot at Nino Valdes
of Cuba, the No. / contender.
Castellani, the No. 8 con-
tender, was outpointed by Mid

in San Francisco last September,
but not too impressively. Cas-
tellani sent Olson to the floor
once in that battle and later hit
the canvas himself. but he was
carrying the fight to the cham
pion at the finish.
Castellani hopes to trim Ward
decisively tonight and pave the
way for another shot at Olson.
His manager, AL Mailman, says
he's ready to put up another
$125,000 for Olson for a title
match here in the spring.

He told The Star:

Every person who has ever
had dealings with FILA will
applaud that statement. But
those who have had experience
in the past may be forgiven
if they wait until they find
out how it all works out in
practice.
What type Of information,
if any, will be sealed off in

cerned over FHA's growing
disregard Of its responsibilities
to the public and the consumer
are now disturbed at the ap-
parent lack of public under
standing Of FHA's very real
accomplishments, of the broad
scope of its work. and of its
truly major economic impor-
tance. A big danger is that the
good things the agency has
done may not be kept in
proper perspective.
Its Accomplishments
In the 20 years since it was
established. FILA made pos
sible construction of over A.
242.000 homes and apartments.
It's more than l6 million repair
loans have helped keep exist
ing homes in good condition.
Its scheme allowing mortgages
to be amortized monthly on
an equal-payment basis spelled
the doom Of the old-type mort
gage that had to be renewed
periodically at high cost and
often was foreclosed unneces-
Sarily.
FHA's assumption of part Of
the loan risk brought interest
rates down. cut cash payments,
and thus made 1t possible for
many families to own homes
who otherwise never could
have afforded to buy at all.
Over its 20 years, it has
insured mortgage loans and
repair loans amounting to
over $33 billion, half of which
have been repaid. During
this time. home buyers paid
the agency's way, so that it's
operations so far have cost
the Government no money at
all.
FILA not only owes the
Treasury nothing, but has in
surplus and reserves O total
of $355. 10000 This repre-
sents about 2 per cent of the
outstanding loans which it
has insured. The surplus Is
held to pay for any future
losses and further operating
expenses.
The fact that me-buyers
and tenants themselves are
paying the full cost Of oper-
ations gives the consumer q
special interest in FHA. As
the investigation continues.

to increase. not diminish, this

ing laws must be counted
among salutary effects of the
disclosures so far.
What perhaps may be con-
sidered just as important,
however, are indications the
FILA will reform its attitude
and operations. A new gold
fish bowl" information policy.
for instance, has been prom
ised.
In the past, FILA has been
notorious for its like
reaction to ordinary contacts
with the general public, news
papers and the trade press.
For years top administra-
tors have deliberately imposed
a policy upon the entire Or
ganization that tended to con-
ceal rather than reveal what
FHA has been doing.
Nor was this a stealthy thing,
but a bold one. FILA main
tained it had no obligation to
supply information except of a
most innocuous kind. For some
years it has had no full-time
information staff at all, in spite
of wide customer interest in its
activity.
AS to specific inquiries, in
most cases FHA's attitude was
that it not only would not pro-
vide the information requested
but had no obligation to an
swer at all beyond the state
ment that the facts sought
were confidential"
