Detroit's Defense Proves
Too Much for Pittsburgh

MIAMI, Jan. 7 (AP) I'VE
thought we had the best de-
fense in the league and this
should prove it," puffed Joe
Schmidt, Detroit linebacker, as
he left the scene of violence
yesterday after the Lions beat
the Pittsburgh Steelers, 1910, in
the National Football Leagues
Runnerup Bowl.
Detroit's defense was fearful,
indeed. The Lions blitzed Steel
er Quarterback Ed Brown,
holding him to five competitions
in IL passes, and hit so fiercely
that three Steelers left the field
in need of medical attention.
Fullback John Henry john
son was placed under observa-
ton for a probable conclusion;
Willie Daniels jaw was broken
and Dan James Clipped an an
kle bone.

DETROIT, Jan. ALEX Kar-
raS, rugged defensive tackle for
the Detroit Lions. today, threat
ened to quit football if the club
owners tried to force him out
of the bar business.
Edwin j. Anderson, Lions
general manager, said in Miami
that he would try to persuade
Karras to give UP his part
ownership of the Lindell Bar, a
Detroit saloon long frequented
by professional athletes and
sports figures.
Frankly I don't like the
idea" said Anderson, who said
he met with Pete Rozelle, Ma

sioner, and William Clay Ford,
Lions president, in Miami before
the Lions Runnerup Bowl
victory over the Pittsburgh
Steelers yesterday.
Threatens to Sue
KarraS, who left Miami last
night to participate in iIext
Sundays Pro- Bowl game in Los
Angeles, told the Detroit News
by telephone:
This is ridiculous. I'm al
ready in the bar business. So

Lions player Terry Barr and
others in the Golden Lion res
taurant.
i've got close to $45,000 in
this business. That's every
thing l own. I know the people
I'm in with.
IF the Lions are going to
try to stop me, I'll fight them.
I'll sue them. I might have to
quit football to protect my in
terests. II they put the bar
off limits. I'd have to quit for
sure"
Karras' partners in the bar
are Jim and John Butsicaris.
Neither has a police record.
Anderson and the Lions
ownership raised questions on
Karras' business venture last
week end while discussing
rumors Of possible betting

suspect any Of our players of
wrongdoing," Anderson said,
II thought 1t might be a good
idea TO take a good look at
ourselves. l didn't like the
prospect of a player owning
a part Of the bar where he
might run into undesirable
people"
Anderson disclosed that he
met with Rozelle and Ford
Saturday night in Miami.
I'VE decided TO talk 10 Alex
when he gets back from the

No Comment by RozeIle

at the inference that there was
anything wrong with going into
business with the Butsicaris
brothers.
II have a family and the
Butsicaris boys have families, "
Karras said. "They are trying

thing All they're saying TO me
is: al, you're guilty. ="
John Butsicaris said today
that FBI agents visited the bar
last week.
"They wanted 10 talk about

Boundaries, Seat Discussed at Borough Meet
Council Proposes Second Glass borouuh

Boundaries and the location of the borough seat were t h e two objections raised to the Matanuska -Susitna local option petition at meeting in th e Palmer Grange hall on Tues day, April 30.
 The meeting W a called by Bob Vroman, chairman of the Matanuska -Susitna borough h committee, to clarify the pur- poses of the petition, which was circulated a year ago in the District ' area, but which thus far has not obtained the required 25 per cent of sigma lures from city of Palmer vo- terS.
 A new petition was proposed by members of the Palmer city council, which would extend the boundaries to the Kusku- tan River, follow the Alaska Range at the 1000 foot level, circle above Denali, join with approximately the ern boundary of the Seventh Elec- ton District, include Lake George on the south, and fol- low the Knik River boundary.
 The borough seat would be designated as Palmer
 The council proposed incor- poratlon as a second-class borough. T h e Matanuska-Su- sitna petition designated a first class borough. Council men, questioned later as to their reason for this change, said that the only mandatory duties of a second-class bor- ough would be education, zon- ing and planning, and taxation and assessment.
 Other services would be as. sumed only by a vote of h ( borough residents, whereas 1T first-class borough the as semblymen have the power te assume special services for the borough. Councilmen stated that residents of particular areas wanting special services could organize their own serv- ice district, assessing them selves for the cost. This woulo

sary hearings and elections for incorporation by Jan. l. Un- der House Bill 90, boundaries would be those of Election Dis trlct 7 for this area.
 The agency director said that if residents chose to incorpor- ate by petition. the boundaries commission will have the pow CT to alter the boundaries stat ed in the petition, but will hold public hearings before making such changes. The changes will be stated in the ballot for incorporation, and although 1t will not be possible to vote against individual provisions for incorporation, if residents are dissatisfied with the boun- daries they would have the privilege of voting against in- corporation, or, after ineorpor- ation, of taking the boundary changes to court.
 In a District ' borough, with Palmer the only incorporated city, Palmer would have two assemblymen, and the rural areas would have one more. or three, making a total of five. The first borough election would determine whether the local government unit will have borough manager or a borough chairman, Cease said The borough manager would be a paid professional en- ployee, while chairman would be the assemblyman receiving the largest number of votes in the election. A manager could be removed at any time. while Ia chairman could not be re- moved (except by recalD until the next election.
 Borough assemblymen from within incorporated cities will be chosen from the city council, and may either be designated during council elections or chosen by the councilmen themselves.

 Ed Smith, school board presi- dent, said there was no founda- tion for such a rumor; that the idea had merely been discuss ed briefly, and that 1t had al- ready been learned that such a borough unit would not meet the required standards.
 Cease pointed out that Dis triet ' residents have two ap- breaches to the problem of in- corporation: they may file a local option petition, which must be done within a month to allow enough time for incor- poration befort Oct. 1, or they may wait and go the House Bill 90 way, in which the state will step in and hold the neces-

 Dick Jones and John Shaw made statements in favor of the proposed new boundaries, Jones pointing out that h Overall Economic Development Plan already set up encomp- asses this area, and Shaw stat ing that the larger borough would more nearly meet the re- quirements of the borough law.
 We are in a great basin ex- tending all the way to Mt Me Kinley and the rich deposits of the Beluga coal fields. w h t have We to lose by taking in the unoccupied potential farm ing lands across the Big Susit- na River Large counties in the western states do not find administration of thinly popu- lated areas expensive to admin ister," Shaw said.
 Speaking in favor of the Pal mer borough seat, Shaw said that Palmer is the heart of the economically developed area of District ', and already has the needed services such as water and sewer.
 Vroman said that designation of Wasilla as the borough seat was based on central location, and the fact that it is on the railroad and will be on h e main highway to the north.
