MayffeId, Rubicini In Rematch

Gus Rubicini, the rugged Ca
madam niddleweight, gets an
other crack at Andy Mayfield of
Miami Tuesday night when the
two clash for the third time at
the Miami Beach auditorium.
This time, however, the two
will tangle in a l2-round contest.
Rubicini asked that the two extra
rounds be added for he says in
their last bout he had Mayfield
In trouble in the 10th and if the
bout had been longer he claims
that would have been no question
about the outcome.
The first fight resulted in a
draw when it was stopped in the
fourth round with both fighters
bleeding profusely.
The return match two weeks
ago proved to be a rip-roaring
battle from beginning to end with
Mayfield winning a disputed de-
cision. One judge and a referee
voted Andy the winner while an
other judge scored the fight even.
Rubicini's manager, Hymie Lee
vine, yelled loud and long that
his boy was robbed and demand
ed re-match. Mayfield's mana
ger, Art Korn, claims that except
for the shaky 10th round. Andy
was in front all the way and
promptly agreed to fight Rubi-
cini again.

rounder. Of couse, l don't think
the bout will last that long be-
cause every time Andy fights a
guy he learns more about him.
think he's really got Rubicini's
number now and look for knock
out" explained Korn.
Mayfield is a good boxer and
a stiff puncher and is regarded as
one of the best conditioned fight
erS ever to perform here.
Gus is tough customer and
carries dynamite in both fists. He
usually wadeS in swinging and
never lets up. Rubicini has lost
but two scraps in his last IS out
ings and holds a 1851 win over
joey Giardello.
Despite the 12-round distance
most ring observers are rating the
fight a toss-up.

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY .
WEAVER SAYS

The article below was wraeAem
BY William 3. Weaver, manager,
Social Security Admin lstration, -
S.W. First &C., Miami 80, Fla,
pAone 9-s46f. This 10 one Of a
series Of articles appearing I'm
these columns weekly.
Did you know that more than
100000 persons in the United
States and its possessions are now
receiving monthly checks from the
Old Age and Survivors Insurance
program of Social Security?
Nearly 5000, 900 Of these are re-
tired persons and their de9end-
entS (wives and children); a little
over 100000 are the survivors
of insured workers. About $780,
600 of these 100000 persons are
65 years of age or older; the re-
mainder, some 100000 are
children and their mothers.
Three out of every 10 bene-
ficiaries are the widows or minor
children of a deceased husband
or parent who had been covered
under Social Security.
Assuming a national popula-
ton OF some 160,00O,000 persons
this means that one out of every
% persons in the United States
and its possessions is receiving
monthly benefits from the Old
Age and Survivors Insurance pro-
gram of Social Security.
Do you realize that monthly
benefits for retired persons 50 or
older may amount to anywhere
from $50 a month 10 as much as
S98.50? Survivors monthly bene-
fits may amount TO anywhere
from $50 to $500 a month de-
pending on the number Of minor
children and the average month
ly earnings of the deceased hus-
band or father.

or are the widow or child of a
deceased person be sure TO get

had been taken to see that
neither side obliterated the other
as would almost surely be the
case in an actual war. The num-
ber Of atomic weapons was
limited. The referees in the field
arbitrarily decided what airfields
had been bombed and even those
receiving direct hits with atomic
weapons were ruled out Of action
for a maximum Of only 10 hours.
The main point Of the exercise,
said Sir Basil. was to get the
forces on their toes-to give
them practice at operating un-
der field conditions, mounting
strikes, making interceptions and
generally sharpening their pre-
cision and accuracy In carrying
out their various assignments.
The need for this kind of
workout quickly became ap-
parent. Two hours after taking
off from Orly Field in Paris for
the fight to the End ATAF's
airbase at Nancy-Ochey, our
Air Force transport settled gen.
tly and with great precision on
the wrong field. The field looked
like a leftover fighter strip from
World War II. The French Gus

but o little surprised to see US

However, Mr.. Flanagan testi-

Security Rules Real

correspondents few north to the
headquarters of a Canadian air
division near Metz for more
briefings. more cordiality and
more mystery about the actual
state Of the operation. As the
day progressed. 1t became in
creasingly clear that whatever
compromises with realism might
have been made in setting I'D
Operation Carte Blanche. the
security regulations were the
real Mccoy.
In touring the bases, the cor
respondents were welcomed into
such relatively harmless install
lationS as weather bureaus or
Photographic laboratories, They
could chat with public relations
officers and hear innumerable
briefings from commanding off,
GERS. But when it came to now
the thing actually worked-or a
visit to the operations nerve
center, where the attacks and
interruptions were organized
the boom was gently but firmly
lowered
Carte Blanche might be a
phony war in some ways. but the
machinery itself was still strictly
of limits to outsiders.
From our viewpoint, the main
difference between the French
and Canadians was that the
French ate better, unless one
prefers banana cream pie and
milk for supper. For another
thing the Canadians were hav-
Ing trouble with their camou-
mage. In setting up their field
headquarters. they had con-
structed regulation latrines out

arranged hastily in an apparent
effort to Offset charges that he
was afraid to face impromptu
questioning Of American news
men in view of cancellation of
plans for his appearance on a
CHS Face the Nation" televi-
sion program.
CHS said the program was
Cancelled because Mr.. Molotov
insisted that he could answer
only written questions received
in advance.
/ Mr.. Molotov sat silently before
a microphone on the auditorium
stage for a few moments after
he first appeared today. His in
terpreter. Oleg Troyanovsky. sat
beside him. Behind them were
N. T. Federenko. deSuty Soviet

olev, Russia's permanent repre-
sentative to the U. N; Georgi N.
zaroubin. Soviet ambassador to
Washington, and Mikhail Khar-
lamov, deputy chief Of the So
Wet foreign Offices foreign press
division.
AS the silence grew almost
embarrassing, Mr.. Troyanoksky
asked If there were any ques-
tions. From then on, the ques-
tions and answers came in
rapid-f1re order. When the al
lotted 80 minutes were up, Mr..
Molotov rose and thanked the
newsmen for their attention.
A United Germany?
The first questioner asked
what the Soviet thought about
possibilities for uniflcation Of
Germany. and whether that ques-
ton would be discussed at the
Geneva conference.
Il believe you know very well
that the Soviet Union is In IA
vor Of the uniflcation of Ger
many" Mr.. Molotov replied. "It
stands to reason that we are in
favor Of that unification on a
peaceful and democratic basis. +"
Another reporter wanted to
know II this meant extension to
Jail Germany of the Communist
system now prevailing in East
Germany.
Mr.. Molotov answered:
"The Soviet Union holds the
view that q united Germany
should not represent the extern
sion to the whole Of the country
lot the regime now prevalent in
Eastern Germany, and at the
same time a united Germany
should not represent the extern
sion of the regime now dominant
in the Western part Of the
country.
''As for the question of what
kind Of regime a united Germany
would have, that is a matter to
be settled by the German people
themselves through free all Ger
man elections.
Mr.. Molotov ducked most
questions about what he expects
from the Geneva conference by
saying such problems as what
will be discussed and exactly how
long the conference will last will
be determined by the heads of
the Big Four governments.

We were late arriving at oul
destination-so late that a gooc

ing tour had to be Cancelled. In.
stead. we were packed into a bus
and hustled of forthwith to the
headquarters Of the 1st French
Tactical Air Division in Its
woodland hideout several miles
away.
1t was. in fact. quite impres-
sive. We noted the French had
taken special pains with their
camoufiage job and had fes-
tooned everything with an i'm
mense quantity Of netting. We
were told proudly that the place
was entirely invisible from the
air and had 50 for escaped at
tack. It also seemed clear from
an innite variety of tents,
trailers and other items of field
Iparaphernalia that the French
passion for camping c,me in
handy during operations of this
sort.
Our group was led Immediately
to the bar--one Of the larger
and more centrally located tents
where Commanding Gen. Nor
bert Bison welcomed us over
a glass Of Cinzano and made a
little speech about the part the
First French Tactical Air Di-
vision was playing in the war.
We gathered things were going
well.
New Problem
The job Of establishing dis
persed headquarters covering
several hundred square miles oi
territory had been a new prob.
lem imposed by atomic warfare
The command had to be set ur
to function independently If any
one section was knocked out
But hard as it was the general
seemed to think his superiors
would be pleased about the war
itself. the general was less com.
municative. He was uncertain
about how many atom bombs
had dropped so far on his ter
ritory or how many fields
which, Of course, are difficult
to camoufiage-had been put
out of action. He assured us
however. that the 1st French
Tactical Air Division was ac-
quitting itself nobly.
We wished the general a good
war and moved on to the dining
tent. Mess consisting OF pate
maison. filet de boeuf, salade
and fromages, struck us as q
pleasant innovation on conven-
tional warfare. The wines and
liqueurs were excellent. Only
the instant coffee at the end re-
minded us Of the harsh reality
Iof the 1st French Tactical Air
Divisions situation.

4.84 per cent.
II the utilities commission
grants the rate increase asked By
the company, he said, another
SIS million riders will quit travel
ing on Capital Transit vehicles
IA total loss Of 1872 million pas
sengers.
However, he indicated, this
would not quite put the company
beyond the point Of diminishing
returns. The losses. Mr.. Smith
estimated. would be Offset by a
9.4l per cent increase in revenues
The company is asking the
utilities commission for permis-
sion to abandon its 75-cent
weekly permit. with which pas
sengers travel for 10 cents a
ride, and for an increase of
three cents each in the rate at
which it sells its token, from is
to 10 cents. The 20-cent fare re-
main unchanged. as would the
three-cent school fare set by
law.
Vicious Spiral
Considering all these factors,
Mr.. Flanagan estimated that
the requested rate increase
would let the company earn a
net operating income Of ST.
340,453 in the next year--and
this was without any considera-
ton Of present union demands.
If all Of this were given to
the employes-leaving nothing
for the stockholders who, under
the law. are entitled to a fair
and reasonable" profit-it would
take care Of about 10 per cent
Of their initial demands.
Even if a settlement could be
reached on that basis. the COM
pany would be entitled to go
right back to the utilities COM
mission to ask for another rate
increase for the benefit of the
kholders-but a rate in
crease that would push the firm
nearer the point of diminishing
returns.
Only major hope Of breaking
the vicious spiral seemed to lie
either in congressional action
exempting the company from
taxes or taking the ownership
in the hands Of the Govern
ment.
Taxes cost the company about
$1.8 million a year, Mr.. Flana-
gan testified, on the basis Of
present fares and present rev.
enues. OF these, slightly more
than a million dollars go to the
District government, which re-
Gently refused to grant about
$500.00 in tax relief.
Whether the impact of a strike
would change the decisions of
the District Commissioners, who
already are beset by difficult
financial problems, remained to
be seen. Even so, any such tax
relief would have to be approved
by Congress.
Another form of relief already
approved by the House would let
the utilities commission raise the
school fare from three cents to
as high as half the adult fare.
The bill is now before the Sem
ate District Committee.

said.
Effective Control Is Sought
Limitation Of armaments, with
effective controls and inspection
Especially in the atomic field, is
no new hope of the Western
powers. They see such action al
essential to assure a durable
peace.
It Is conceded, however, that
recent United States policy or
disarmament has not been toe
clear-cut. American policy now
is being brought together by Har-
old E. StaSsen, recently named
a special assistant to President
Eisenhower for this job. His ef-
forts are expected to result in
some new proposals from this
Government soon.
Neither on disarmament nor
on the German problem do the
Western powers expect any def
mate solutions at Geneva. AS on
all other problems, the most they
hope for is agreement on new
approaches that might lead to
solution in lower-level negotia-
tions.
One hope is that a working
group of experts from both sides
lin Europe-including representa-
tives Of Eastern European gov
Iernments as well as Of the North
Atlantic Treaty allies-might be
set up to try to find a way to
ease Communist fears Of a united
Germany tied to the West.
Oppose NATO Forces
Western authorities concede
that 1t is not realistic to believe
Russia ever will agree to unifica-
ton Of Germany II that would
mean moving forward to the
East any NATo forces.
Therefore, their idea is that
efforts should be made to resolve
the German uniflcation problem
In the framework of some all
strength Of the West and East.
They envisage a united Ger
many still linked to the West
through NATO, but with provi-
sion for demilitarization of what
is now Eastern Germany. That
is, that no German or other
NATO forces would be stationed
eastward Of the line now dividing
Germany.
This concept is wholly differ
ent from that of a neutralized
Germany, these authorities in
sist. They rule out neutraliza-
ton for Germany because that
would destroy the recently-won
basis for growing unity between
Germany and France, among
other things.
Issues Made Clear
Many possibilities are seen
open for exploration in the field
lof trying to balance East-West
forces. One would involve ex-
tension to Eastern Europe of
the Western Union Treaty prin-
|ciples for limitation Of military
forces, together with tight con-
trolls on atomic weapons.
In looking back over the week
here, Western authorities figure
that the Molotov and Dulles
speeches to the U. N. show
clearly what each side wants to
talk about at Geneva.
They think it a good thing
that the world has thus been
shown exactly what issues di-
vide the Communist and free
worlds.
One result is that other free
countries will not have any
doubt about what the Western
Big Three are up to at Geneva.
