MDU settlement
BRINGS I'm $4,000
TO SCHOOL fund

AS a result of the recent agree
ment worked out between the
State Land Board and Montana
Dakota Utilities on number of
MDU-heId school land leases which
the board had threatened to cancel
in 1854, the state school Income
and Interest fund is $4,000 richer
this week.
(The boards order to MDU to
show cause why the leases held by
the utility shouldn't be cancelled
came about as result of num-
Der of violations of the lease agree
ment, including failure TO drill for
oil, and storage of Wyoming gas
in state leases.)
Under the agreement arrived at
in lieu of cancellation, MDU agreed
to have a major deep test well in
process of drilling by June, and
to pay $2.75 per acre per year for
use of underground storage in the
leases. The $4,000 is to catch up
back payments due the state school
fund.
Shell Oil, which MDU designated
to drill the well, has already staked
out a location for it and it is ex-
pected that within a matter of days
drilling will be under way.
Earlier, due primarily to strong
protest by Supt. of Public Instruc-
ton Mary M. Condor, over lack of
development on the leases, two
other wells were drilled in recent
months. Both are heavy producers.
School royalties for one well for
January and February and for both
wells Ia March totalled more than
$4,000, w. F. Crowley, assistant
Attorney General, reports.
Each well, in March, produced
$500 barrels of oil, which resulted
in the state school Permanent fund
receiving 121a9o royalty on the
first 5000 barrels from each well,
and 171aqo for the other 1900
barrels production from each well.
The two wells are now adding more
than $4,000 each month to the
school Permanent fund.

What The Experts Say About
Moore And Rocky MQrciano
BY CHARLES J. LIvINsToN

oionShip fight coming up next
Tuesday, fight experts began
choosing a winner to the encoun-
ter slated for New York's Polo
Grounds.
Last week five leading author
tiles on the game expressed their
views on the outcome of the fight
T the AMP. Included in the group
was Joe Louis, former heavy
weight champion, who picked
Marciano to successfully defend
his title.
Quizzed in Toledo, Ohio, Louis
said he believes the champions
greater punch will make the diff
ference, but he conceded that
Moore has a chance to upset
Rocky.
But Larry Amadee, ace trainer
who acted as second to Joe Louis
in several of his fights, express
ed a different view,
II give Moore a very good
chance of winning because of his
experience" Amadee said. Moore
is awkardly clever very clever
and he might Outright Marciano on
sharper punching.
Il do know this, Moore can jab
(punch with a straight left
harder than any man in the ring
today and Marciano's nose might
not hold UP under his punches.
If Marciano hurts him, Archie is
experienced enough, tricky enough
to revent to some defensive tactic.
"Age doesn't mean too much
because it will be Archie's ex-
perience and tricks against Mar
ciano's youth and inexperienced"
Eddie Nichols, another top
trainer who runs the Eddie Nichols
Gym in Chicago, also picked
Moore to win because he Is a
hungry fighter" who wants to
win the title desperately. Nichols
said:
II picked Archie Moore to win
inside of 10 rounds because he is
a hungry fighter, and because this
is something he has been seeking
for long time. Arches been try
ing for a long time to get this
fight, spending a lot of money
out of his own pocket. That shows
how confident he is about win
ming.
"He is a better boxer than
Rocky and will make Marciano
whip himself. The fight won't 60
the limit, but Moore will win"
Two former champions also ex-
pressed opinions on the fight, both
picking Moore to win. They are
Bob Olin. former light heavy
weight champ, and Joey Maxim,
also a champion In the division
and the man from whom Moore
won the light heavyweight title.
Olin said:
"He (Marciano) is in against
a man who not only knows all the
tricks but can hit with the best
of them. If Moore gets Rocky in
trouble he won't let him get away.
And he will get him in trouble.
you can bet on that"
Maxim, who tested Moore's
punches on two separate occasions
said that Archie can call his shot.
"I'm picking Moore TO win the
fight" he said. "Archie is by far
the superior boxer Rocky is
so easy TO hit, I'm sure Archie
will win by a knockout in spite Of
Marciano's ability to absorb
punishment.
Moore hits terrifically hard
with one punch, and / think he
can call his shot"
Archie won the light heavy
weight crown from Maxim two
years ago, in a fight in which
Moore virtually fought for pea
nuts. He had TO guarantee Maxim
100000 and the gate was only
$89,487 gross plus $4,000 for
television. Moore received only 10
percent after Maxim's money was
taken out.
Meanwhile the IBC was ex-
pressing optimism about the fight.

Nixon IsChoice
OF State Chiefs

Vice President Nixon is the
choice Of many Of the Repub-
lican State chairmen for re-
nomination as President Eisen-
hower's running mate. This was
developed in interviews today
with State chairmen from the
East, Middle West and West.
Republican State Chairman
Thomas w. Caldecott of Cali
fornia was outspoken in his
praise of Mr.. Nixon. So was
Republican State Chairman Ray
Bliss of Ohio. Mr.. Bliss said
that he believed the Republicans
should stick to their winning
ticket.
"Vice President Nixon cam
paigned vigorously for the party
in 1854. He did a good job and
is entitled to the support of Re-
publicans. He has been made a
chief target by the Democrats.
because he stepped on their
toes"
Support in California
Mr.. Caldecott said the Repub-
lican Party in California was
well organized and that Califor-
mia undoubtedly would vote for
the reelection OF Eisenhower
and Nixon. He pointed out that
the State Committee, which is
organized by law in California
and has 706 members, has not a
single vacancy today, so strong
is the interest in Republican
Party affairs.
Mr.. Eisenhower, Mr.. Calde-
cit said, was the choice of all
the California Republicans for
President. He added that Who
ever the President selected for
his running mate would be ac-
ceptable to the California Re-
publicans.
We hope he will select
Nixon"
Backing in East
Support for Mr.. Nixon was
found in New York State and
in Massachusetts. too. The Re-
publican State Chairman of the
Bay State. Elmer Nelson, had
this to say:
1.-THE President is stronger
than ever"
He had no second choice for
the presidential nominee, he
said. and added, "We shouldn't
have a second choice"
On the question of a vice
presidential nominee. Mr.. Mel
son said that should be left en-
tirely to Mr.. Eisenhower. He
said he personally liked Mr..
Nixon.
Many Of the chairmen empha-
sized their willingness to go
along with President Eisen-
hover for any vice presidential
candidate the President selected
