wiches, until Jocko had said the hell with
Metrecal, Floyd put it thusly:

haven't seen him for a week but it looks
like Detroit"
"Cus" is Gus DAmato, who has been
Patterson's one and only manager. He has
been described at times as a sort of
witch-burner.
DOES GUS HAVE the final say?"
Patterson was asked.
"On the site of the fight, yes" Floyd
replied in his quiet voice.
"You say that you haven't seen D'Amato
for week, yet now you sound emphatic
about the fight being in Detroit instead of
Washington or Chicago" man ventured.
well, read the papers," Floyd said,
softly. Il haven't seen Gus but read the
papers and I figure that if things are lean
ing toward Detroit the fights got to be
there. Gus must have said something"
Patterson no longer wears the collar
of any man. His co-author, Gross, teSti-
fieS to that. when and if he shows up,"
Milt predicted, you'll understand"

missioner Miller, who goes down fighting.
YEAH even in Washington Patterson
said. ut got bad in Chicago too. You
know, people saying bad things. Finally
said to Gus, You choose the site. Leave me
out of it. I was getting whole cities mad
at me.
"And how about Cus?"
''Well, I'd rather that people don't like
him than don't like me-"
STRANGELY, PATTERSON never has
seen Lston (already the favorite) in action.
Not live, that is. 1--we seen him on tele-
vision few times" Floyd admitted.
Hes seen you live" man reminded.
HE saw you stop Johansson in the rubber
match at Miami. He said that night he
could take you"
well, only saw LiSton on TV and
can't even remember exactly the guys in
there. Maybe one was Cleveland Williams
and Nino Valdes. E.. Oh, forget"
This appeared to be a haraSsed young
man. Downstairs there were hundreds in
the book department waiting to buy his
"Victory OUer Myself" Even upstairs in
the So-called executive suite there were
wheels in,>silk suits who were asking for
his autograph.
Floyd isn't the free-wheeling type at
all. He prefers the Spartan life, like a
termite-ridden training camp in the
CatskillS with no main roads and no more
luxury than couple of Cab Calloways on
his record machine.
Another 10 days and I'll get it," he
sighed hopefully.

Detroit Title Fight 7 ak
Makes Nothing Definite

DETROIT, May % CAP).-
Talk of a heavyweight title
bout produced more talk but
no heavyweights for Detroit
boxing fans last night.
A gate of only 200, including
many who thought they would
see Floyd Patterson at ringside,
turned out for a local card.
Patterson did not show.
The promoters were the same
pair, Leon Saddler and Elisha
Gray, who said they have guar
anteed $750,000 for the Patter-
son-Sonny Liston fight.
Michigan Boxing Commits
sioner Dave Gudelsky said he
has not seen Liston, Patterson
or Patterson's manager, Gus
D'Amato.
Gudelsky said he would con-
front the fighters with propos-
ais for the strictest restrictions
ever clamped on a world title
bout.
He said there would be a 90
second instead of 60-second
pauses between rounds, and
that the commissions doctor
will be empowered to stop the
action in the middle of a round
and call off the fight.
Gudelsky's tone indicated
.D'Amato would not have any,
thing to say about who referees
the fight.
Saddler and Gray said their
guarantee arrangement was
$500,000 for Patterson and

Gudelsky resulted from the re-

Clutch-hitting John Romano
and streaking Chuck ESSegian
are two prime reasons why the
surprising Indians hold undis-
puted possession of the Ameri-
can League lead.
These two led the way last
night as the Indians overcame
Baltimore, 10-7, in a thriller
and took first place all alone by
a half game over the idle Yam
KEGS.
Romano supplied most of the
muscle - and the ultimate
drama-with a pair of run
scoring doubles and the three
run homer with two out ir the
ninth inning that provided the
winning margin.
ESSegian, on a torrid tear
that has Zoomed him to the
top among the leagues batters
with a .402 average, rode in on
both of Romano's doubles and
was on base when the sturdy
catcher connected for the
clincher.

asked wilted reporter who had been wait
ing for almost three hours.
II said as far as the public is concerned
this is my most important fight" Floyd
said, bit peeviShly on this one point, it
seemed.
But you, personally. Is Liston the
most important fight in your life?"
"No," said Floyd, who listens carefully
to questions and answers them carefully
Personally, my most important one was
with JohanSson"
There was no need to inquire further.
Floyd had to prove something to himself
and to critical public in the second
JohanSson episode, namely that he was a
bona-fide heavyweight champion lingo had
clobbered him in the first bout, when
Patterson was floored seven times before
Referee Ruby Goldstein stopped it.
FLOYD'S VISIT TO TOWN was hooked
up with his book Victory Over Myself which
his friend and competent ghost, Milt Gross,
turned out. For some reason the official
publication date" is not until next Friday
at $50 plate dinner at Toots Shor's, but
the book was on sale at Hecht's yesterday
and so was Patterson.
Eventually, that is. He was more than
two hours late on a motor trip from New
York and during the long wait Co-author
Gross, who wasn't precisely on time himself,
put in call to Pattersons lawyer, Julius
November.
A few minutes later Gross. addressed
the dwindling press reception committee.
"He left at 11:15 am. this morning and is
with November"
"You mean that he's with November
or arriving in November?" one writer asked
acidly.
But when the champ eventually showed
up he was as much at ease as, let's say,
when he's been slugged and floored. Book
affairs are not his cup of tea and Floyd has
quite few facing him in the next 10 days
or two weeks.
AFTER THIS STUFF I'll start train
ing seriously" he said, as if in promise
to himself
What did come out of the few minutes
the press was allotted with the distin-
guished late arrival was almost complete
verification that it will be Patterson-Liston
at Detroit Stadium on September IT.
While Chairman Jocko Miller of the
District Boxing Commission bled ponder

The modern overlong sofa
much in favor today has Gre
ated a problem for the home
owner wanting to use one:
can he get it in through the
door without a major opera
ton?
Since the answer is some
times no particularly in
apartme entS and older
houses. the solution has
been sofas in sections that
look like one but are really
two or, even. three.
Such a solution will not,
however, take care of a SIM

more frequently noted Of late.

Placing q Problem

Having solved the problem
of injecting the picture into

it is the question that comes
next. Obviously these 6-foot-
square land sometimes even
larger paintings cannot be
hung by the old rules.
Trying to place the picture
so that the center is at eye
level Cfor a normally scaled
mani is possibly the best
suggestion. as this will in all
probability leave a little more
space below the picture than
above it, thereby freeing the
painting from interference by
the furniture.
Because the picture is a
modern one, handle it in a
modern manner and place
it off center rather than

Special to The Star

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
Nov. 1.-THE Soviet Union has
told the United States privately
it is favorably inclined toward
a Brazilian plan for denuclear-
ization of all Latin America, in
Guiding Cuba, United Nations
sources reported today.
The plan involves shedding
all planes, missiles, and ships
capable of delivering atomic
weapons. 1t therefore would
require Cuba to give up the
n-28 jet bonbers which Fidel
Castro is trying to keep.
The plan also provides for
on-site verification to ensure
compliance.
Gives Three Conditions
Cuban Delegate Carlos Lech-
uga told the 110-nation Polit-
ical Committee of the U. N
General Assembly yesterday
that Mr.. Castro would accept
the Brazilian plan only on three
conditions:
J. That the United States
Russia, and Britain pledge
never to use atomic weapons
in Latin America.
2. That Puerto Rico and the
Panama Canal be denuclearized
also.
8, That all foreign bases, in
cluding Guantanamo, be re-
moved from Latin America.
Arthur H. Dean, the United
States disarmament specialist,
replied that these conditions
we're quite unacceptable" to
the United States and to the
Organization of American
States. ....-.
Informed sources later said
Mr., Dean was referring to all
three Cuban conditions. In
spection of Puerto Rico and the
Panama Canal is specifically
ruled out, they said.
Mr., Dean told the political
committee, however, that the
United States would "co-
