The future plans of Kurt

Ruling
Justice Department
Pushes Trial of IBC
On Monopoly Charge
BY the Assoeietsd Press

bt me AsSoet6feo FFeSt
The Justice department moved
rapidly today to bring the In
ternational Boxing Club to trial
as monopoly that violates Fed
eral antitrust laws.
The trial will take place in
New York City and a spokesman
for the Justice Departments
Antitrust Division there said
it probably would begin some
time before the end of the fiscal
year-July l..
The Government received the
green light to prosecute from
the Supreme Court, which yes
terday refused to grant boxing
an exemption from antitrust
laws as it had done for baseball.
The decision left the boxing Sit
uation badly confused.
The Government filed an anti
trust suit against the IBC, head
ed by Jim Norris and Arthur M.
WirtZ. back in March, 1852, but
it was thrown out by Federal
Judge Gregory F. Noonan Of
New York, who based his deci-
sion on the baseball case.
The Supreme Court decision
was by a 6-2 vote. with Chief
Justice Warren writing the ma
jority opinion. He noted that
baseball first was exempted from
antitrust laws in 1922 by the
Supreme Court. In 1858 the
court held that Congress. by
failing to pass legislation spe-
officially bringing baseball under
the antitrust laws. had indi-
Gated it wanted baseball ex-
empted.
No Grant of Immunity.
But no such situation prevailed
for boxing. the opinion contin-
ued. II it is to be exempt the
issue is for Congress to resolve.
not this court.
The baseball decision cannot
be interpreted as "a sweeping
grant of immunity to every busi-
ness based on the live presenta-
ton of local exhibitions, regard
less of how extensive its inter-
state phases may be-" the opin-
ion said.
The minority opinion, written
by Justice Frankfurter, said it
would battle the subtleSt in
genuity to find a single differ
entiating factor between other
sporting exhibitions. whether
boxing or football OF tennis or
baseball, in so far as conduct OF
the sport is relevant to the ques-
ton of antitrust prosecution"
Norris issued a statement say
ing the decision merely means
the Government must prove its
monopoly charges.
I'VE are confident" he said,
that the court will vindicate
our position that in presenting
seven or eight championship
bouts a year we do not operate
an illegal monopoly within the
meaning of the Sherman Act"
The Government position is
that Norris and WirtZ. along
with the Madison Square Garden
Corp, have been conspiring
since l949 to monopolize the
promotion. exhibition. broad
casting and televising of big
time fights.

halls it's using don't begin to
handle the mob when the Colo
mails play an attractive oppo-
nent. More than 1000 would-be
customers were shut out last
night at the Washington Lee
High School gym in Arlington,
while crowd of 2,700 got in to
watch the Colonials trim Duke
92-73.
The Maryland game two weeks
ago at Uline Arena was a $500
sell-out more than an hour be-
fore the game. When Furman
comes here Thursday night for a
game at Washington-Lee, the
Jam probably will be worse than
last night. Next Tuesday night
the Colonials play at Maryland
and the doors there probably will
be closed more than an hour be-
fore game time. Army, GW's op-
ponent at WI two weeks from
Saturday, isn't having a good
year, but it more than likely will
pack the place.
Both Teams OFF Form.
AS for last nights game, it was
a tight one for the first 10 min
utes. Thereafter the Colonials
moved away and were in COM
plete control by halftime. Duke,
playing its first game after a
two-week layoff. obviously was
not at its best, and CIV. also
coming back after nearly two
weeks of not playing. likewise
was not UP to its usual form.
Fouls were frequent and
sloppy passing also marred the
game. But the Colonials were
in good shooting trim and broke
Dukes back by dropping in bas-
ketS from all sorts of weird an
giles.
The Blue Devils, the third
place team in the Atlantic Coast
Conference and with an LIS
overall record, tried a full-court
press to start the game. The
Colonials ran them out of that
in the first 10 minutes, and
/ thereafter it was regular head
to-head basketball.
Devlin Wins Duel With Mayer.
1t also was a head-to-h head
game between Corky Devlin of
CIV and Ronnie Mayer of Duke,
the leading scorers of the two
teams who were assigned to
guard each other Devlin won
that one, with IL field goals and
nine of II free throws for 33
points, to Mayors eight field
goals and four of nine free ones
for 20 points.
Five-foot-11 Joe Belmont
turned out to be Dukes best last
night. He's a fancy dribbler
who is very adept at drawing
fouls, and he led the Blue Devils
with IS points, 13 of them from
the free line. The other big
scorers were CIV men, Joe Holup
with % points and Joe Petcavich
with 81

Emphasis on Effort
As Youngsters Start
Journey Up Ladder
By Dick o'Brien

A small army of youngsters
with stars in their eyes and
dynamite in their mittens begins
the annual quest for Golden
Gloves championships tonight at
Turner's Arena, where the first
pair will begin swinging at $3.50.
Sponsored by The Evening
Star, the tournament will be
ushered in with a bargain pro-
gram of 20 bouts, with as many
more coming up Thursday night
at the same arena.
There could be another bud
ding Mickey Walker or Henry
Armstrong on tonight's card,
which will see fighters of all
sizes from bantams to middle
weights in action. The novices
may lack polish but nobody ever
accused them of not trying And
with the added incentive of a
chance for an Olympic berth
next year to spur them on, every
punch is certain to carry little
extra "oomph."
Heavyweights Pack Appeal.

Uncertain Weather Holds up Snowbird Games At Calena
By ELTON FAY

GALENA, tR HIT Uncertain mid- winter Alaska weather was stud- jed today to decide whether a mass drop of Air Force para troopers will be attempted on an 'aggressor" force which has seized" this Yukon River air base.
 At his headquarters in the FL mendorf Air Force Base near An chorage, It. Gen. J. H. Atkin- son, commander in chief of the Alaska area, said late yesterday:
 "The weather as it affects our troops safety, is the deciding fac tor in the schedule of Exercise Snowbird.'
 If it is not favorable for a mass attack on Galena Monday this part of the exercise will be cancelled and preparations start ed for the TaIkeetna maneuvers. /"
 Storms over Windy Pass, be- tween here and the Elmendorf base, forced postponement of the mass flight of half a hundred C-119's both Saturday and Sun day. They were to fly 800 para troopers, a battalion combat team of the 503rd Regiment. l1th Air borne Division, here for air drops.
 ''We could have carried out the Galena drop on schedule, except for the fact that we want to apply the tactics of a mass drop" Gen. Atkinson said.

 Engle predicted the committee would act by the end of this week on a combined measure for the admission of both territories to the union as states
 The chairman told his commit tee at an organizational meeting today that the 10 pending state hood bills are among score of measures which are similar to bills approved by the committee and passed by the House in the last Congress but which failed to become law.
 Engle said he hoped the com mittee could act on all of these measures without referring them to SubcOmmltteeS Tor hearings
 On the bulk of the measures, Engle asked committee members to review the record of the last session and be ready to act at a meeting on Feb. l.

Lannen Persists in His Request For Recount of Votes

JUNEAU, tR--One of the is sues around which there is re- vived interest as Alaska's legisla- tors prepare to open their new session is the requested recount of the votes cast for territorial labor commissioner last fall.
 H. J. Lannen, Cordova' Demo- crat who lost to incumbent Henry Benson by 27 votes in the official vote count, has posted $2,00O to pay for recount. .>
 Members Of the Democratic Central Committee went along with him at a weekend confer ence with Gov. Heintzleman on the issue.
 Lannen said the governor asked that additional money be posted to pay for the recount, but that he, Lannen, figures the cost can be kept down to the $2,000 figure by having volunteers do the tally ing, along with a paid supervisor to be named by the governor.
 The latest counter-offe from Lannen and the Democratic Corn mittee leaders is for the recount to proceed until the $2,000 is ex- pended. Then, Lannen says, he will take the responsibility of posting more money as needed. The recount is expected to pro- ceed on that basis.
 Lannen is asking recount of every ballot in about 24 of Alas ka's nearly 300 precincts. It is a job that will probably take be-
