Boxing Probe In California Is Underway By HAL WOOD UPI Start Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)-The probe on "gangland pressure" in the boxing industry gets under way here today pushed along with the announcement by Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown that he would have special investigators assigned to study the problems The state Athletic Commission will conduct the hearings, which are expected to feature Ralph Gambina, who "bought in" on the contract of heavyweight contender Ruebcn Vargas for $500. - The commission docs not have anything listed on its agenda that would call for further discussion of the promoter Jackie Leonard case. But Gov. Brown docs. Leonard, who testified before the commission last month that Eastern mobstors, including Frankie Carbo and Blinky Paler mo, were trying to muscle into the fight game, still is recover ing from a beating he received after the testimony. - "I'm determined that that kind of activity finds no place in Call fornia," said Brown. "I'm going to ask Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk to assign some of his investiga tors to the athletic commission to find the answers on who made that attack on Leonard.' The governor also said that he would call in the U.S. Department of Justice on the national aspects of hoodlumism in boxing after the state gets into the investigation. On a 24 point commission hear ing agenda, Gambina is slated to be under discussion at least four or five times. The commission will consider fining him for con duct at a recent match in Palm Springs; ask him to clarify some of his charges that "fighters op posing a Sid Flaherty boxer in San Francisco can't get an even break"; ask him why Larry Boardman, whom he manages withdrew from the June 13 fight in Los Angeles; and how he pur chased an interest in Vargas for $500. neckband i cant sag on the Munsingwear T-shirt NYLON -reinforced neckband holds its shape forever!
