Carmen Basilio testified today
that the former middleweight
champion started getting
championship fights after they
began making hefty payments
to a friend Of gangster Frankie
Carlo.
John DeJohn and Joseph
Metro, Basilio's co-managers
until stripped Of their licenses
for making sthe undercover
payments to Gabriel Genovese,
swore that neither knew the
other was paying Genovese.
They told their stories at
hearings before the Senate
Antitrust and Monopoly Sub
committee, investigating al
legged underworld influence in
boxing.
DeJohn said bitterly that IF
this sport was cleaned up the
way 1t should have been. I
wouldn't be here today" He
blamed greed for evils he said
now mark the boxing business.
Evidence Of Payments
John G. Bonomi, subcommit-
tee counsel, produced evidence
he said showed that DeJohn
had paid Genovese $39,334.3l
in the period l955-195S. and
that Metro had paid Genovese
about $25, 900 in the 1956-195e
period. DeJohn said he didn't
think his payments had been
that high. .t
! DeJohn acknowledged he had
told a grand jury that after the
payments started he and Metro
were able to get together with
James D. Norris, then top man
in boxing promotions, and
Basilio started fighting cham
pionship fights"
The, subconifnittee has not
yet decided whether to question
Norris in public or private ses-
sion, when he testifies, possibly
this afternoon. His doctors
have warned that Norris has
heart disease and might suffer
from tl1e strain of q public
hearing. Norris was excused
from testifying before a New
York grand jury because Of his
health.

serving as his trainer for th'
Basilio- Gene Fullmer fight IL

Midwest Sees
Flood Threat
BY the Associated Press

Floods threatened sections of
the Midwest today after a
week end Of mild weather, the
first of the spring season, and
in the wake Of several weeks
OF heavy SHOWS.
Fairly mild weather con-
tinued in most Of the country
today but showers dampened
scattered sections.
Temperatures which scared
into the Cos and higher melted
the heavy SHOWS in the Gen.
tral Plains and in other Mid
west areas. No major floods
were reported but many small
rivers and streams overfiowed.
Tributaries of the Missouri
River in Southeast Nebraska,
South west Iowa, extreme
Northeast Kansas and North
east Missouri rose quickly with
the rapid runof from the melt
ing snow.
The weather bureau also re-
ported that most rivers and
streams over the snow belt Of
Northern Illinois and Southern
Wisconsin are running far above
normal. Flooding was reported
in some areas.
ForecaSters in Kansas City
said the Missouri River may
start showing effects Of the
flood today, reaching 171a feet
in Kansas City by Wednesday.

flow appeared likely for greater

Picture Is Defended


In Washington, a Springfield
(Va-l man who photographed
the raising of the first, smaller
flag on Mount Suribachi said
today the Rosenthal picture of
the second f1ag-raising def
nitely was not a phony."
Louis Lowery. Photographic
director Of Leatherneck Maga-
zine. who lives at 6022 Craig
street, Springfield, said, They
simply decided to take down
the smaller flag and put up a
larger one and Rosenthal hap
pened to be there. 1t was not
re-run for the photographers.
Although l had taken the
original photograph of the Two
Jima flag-raising about three
or four hours before Joe Rosen-
thai took his photo, his was
certainly not a posed picture.
1t was merely a physical thing
of taking down a smaller flag.
which was hard to see over
the whole island. and replacing
it with a much larger flag.
They did it only once-conse-
quently, it wasn't rehearsed.
"Rosenthal did not think at

ture. Joe has said that it was
a lucky picture. In my opinion.
