Patterson Faces
British Challenger
Of Crown on May 1
INDIANAPOLIS, UP) — Cham
pion Floyd Patterson and chal
lenger Brian London of England
signed contracts yesterday for
their May 1 heavyweight title
bout here.
The pact guarantees Patterson
$75,000 or 60 per cent of the net
gate receipts at the Indiana State
Fairgrounds Coliseum, whichever
is more.
The champion also will get an
undisclosed amount from an NBC
television contract, plus all over
other income, minus the challeng
er’s share of the purse.
The 24-year-old London was
promised $60,000, plus traveling
and training expenses.
In the event the British chal
lenger wins, Patterson is prom
ised a return bout in 90 d^ys.
That would mean cancellation of
a championship fight scheduled
for June 25 in New York between
Patterson and European champion
Ingemar Johansson.
Chairman Stanley Goldberg of
the Indiana Athletic Commission
announced the fight will be scored
on the “5-point-must” system.
That means the winner of a round
would receive five points and the
loser any lesser amount. A tie
round would give five points to
each fighter.
Alaska Airlines Terms
Northern Cons. Rate Offer
‘Flagrant’ Market Invasion
WASHINGTON, Wl — Alaska
Airlines is protesting the proposal
of Northern Consolidated Airlines
to reduce fares in Alaska between
Anchorage, McGrath and Fair
banks.
Alaska told the Civil Aeronau
tics Board the proposed fare re
duction was a “flagrant effort to
take part in a market” which
Northern Consolidated is not auth
orized to serve.
Northern Consolidated proposed
a 14 per cent fare reduction be
tween Anchorage and McGrath
and Fairbanks — a cut from $35
to $30.
Between Anchorage and Fair
banks'-by way of McGrath the
fare would be slashed 50 per cent,
from $60 to $30.
Alaska Airlines has authority
to operate directly between An
chorage and Fairbanks, as well as
between Anchorage and McGrath.
Northern Consolidated has the
right to operate between Anchor
age and Fairbanks only by way
of McGrath.
Alaska said the C.A.B. twice has
denied applications of Northern
Consolidated for a direct Anchor
age-Fairbanks route. The com
plaint said the proposed reduction
was designed to meet the Alaska
Airlines direct Anchorage-Fair
banks fare of $30, and was “pat
ently uneconomic.”

Tokyo Colonel
Loses Command
For Bumping G.I.’s
By JAMES CARY
TOKYO, UP) — The bumping of
seven GIs from a military plane
so he could take his family on va
cation to Hawaii cost Lt. Col.
Charles Platt Jr. his command and
a $340 fine yesterday.
The U. S. Air Force said that
Platt, who had pleaded he was
the victim of an administrative
mixup in the March 26 incident,
accepted the punishment meted
out by his commanding officer
without demanding a trial by
court-martial.
The 59-year-old Brooklyn, N. Y.,
officer was commander of the big
passenger tenhinal at Tachikawa
Air Base west of Tokyo. He was
repremanded and assigned to new
duties.
Platt was not available for com
ment.
The $340 fine imposed on him
was half a month’s pay, the max
imum permitted without a trial.
Lt. Gen. Robert W. Burns, U. S.
military commander in Japan, be
came a hero in the eyes of en
listed men for intervening on be
half of the bumped GIs.
The seven enlisted men were
hurrying on priority orders to
sick or dying relatives in the
United States when they were
taken off a military plane. Platt,
his wife and four children boarded
it for a vacation flight to Hawaii.
One of the bumped GIs tele
phoned Burns. The general or
dered the airborne plane back,
yanked off the colonel and his
family, and gave six of the en
listed men the Platts’ seats. The
seventh had left the airport, and
flew home the next day.
An Air Force investigating
board cleared Platt of direct blame
1 for the bumping and said it was
due to an administrative error.
But Platt’s “actions contributed
to the confusion which caused the
administrative error.”
'NOW HE TELLS US . . .'
ST. HELENA, Calif., UPi —
Twenty volunteer firemen were
preparing to go to a band concert
when the whistle blew. Away they
went to the home of their chief.
His chimney was smoking up
a ;storm.
After dousing the chimney,
Chief Eugene Graff told his men:
“Darn good time for all of you
to have your chimneys cleaned."
