(AP)--Knock-ing out King Levlnsky knocked Max Baer, world's heavyweight champion, out of ftt least $50,000. This was estimated tonight when it was learned that Baer had agreed to a ten round battle with the free swinging young-man -about-town in Chicago next summer, provided they had emerged from a scheduled four round exhibition with honors fairly even. Dramatically flattening the klngfish In two thrilling rounds. The champion was risking his title he could have lost It If he had been knocked out and Levinsky was determined to do that very thing when he leveled terrific right hand blows on Baer's chin during the first round. "Leaping Lena" Levy, sister man ager of the reformed Maxwell street fish pedtv'cr. declared today that the klngfish lost because he became too careless, but Baer said it was because be got too fresh. "I didn't want to knock the guy out," Baer said, 'I had hoped that we could go through with a nice fight. But the sucker tried to knock my ears off in the first round and then ti. l to make me look foolish at the st-.it of the second by stand ing in the middle of the ring waving his arms at me yelling, 'come out and fight, you so and so'." "I said to myself, "who does this mug think hs is. he's talking to the world's champion.' So I let him have It." "Remember what I said about fighting Lasky or Hamas, or Levlnsky and Lasky in one night? well. It still goes." Baer, after remaining In Chicago to do a little New Year's celebrating, will resume his exhibition tour In Detroit January 4, meeting Babe Hunt, an clonftatod heavyweight from Ponca City, Okla.

(AP) Opposition to organization of a Col umbia Valley authority to supervise power, irrigation and other develop ment! In the Columbia River basin developed here today. Senator Stelwer (R., ore ) saia ne would oppose any link between the Grand Coulee and Bonneville power projects. Stelwer. Informed of plana of rep resentatives Knute Hill (D.. Wash.) and Pierce (D., Ore.l to Introduce a bill providing for such an author ity, aald he was "unalterably op posed" to any plan which would mean that power from the Grand Coulee and from the Bonneville would be thrown Into the same lines at the same price. "Bonneville will develop the cheapest now ln tn world," the senator said, "and if the two pro jects were thrown together at an average price. It would mean that the power from the Grand Coulee would be sold for lew than cost plus a legitimate profit, while the power from Bonneville "would be ao!d for considerable more than It other wise would bring If eold alone," The senator said he would not oppose any plan which would create an authority to administer the Orand Coulee development or one to administer the Bonneville, but believed each section should be per mitted to profit by it own natural advantage. AS EVEN BET IN E BOWL GAME ice 1 being reorganized and ex panded to take care of the program when and If U la put Into effect by congressional actton.

The plan la expected to bring possibly 5000 meu Into the Med ford CCC district. Although offic ials of the district made no state ment yesterday concerning the pro posed expansion, ft nation-wide dis tribution of the new camps would allow for approximately 30 ln the Medford district, Janouch estimat ed. The plan provides that the pres ent enrollment of upwards of 350. 000 men b Increased to 1.000,000. Recommendations submitted vo the regional forest office pertain to nine camp, but the number finally allotted to each forest end district in the county and the extent of the work to ba carried out would de pend upon congress.

Dee. 29. (AP) Senator Stelwer (R.. Ore.) said to day he had been assured the rural rehabilitation corporation would re move 160 families from 37.000 acres of submarKln&l land in Tillamook coun ty. Oregon. The cost will be tB5.000. Under plans described to the sena tor, 60 of the families who will be financed In the movement by the government will be placed In a re settlement area In the same county In Township 2 South, Range 9 West, and In Townships 4 South, and 5 South.

Japan, denouncing naval pact, says It will not Increase armaments. PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 29. (AP) Alabama and Stanford burned their football bridges behind them today with their grid conflict, the twentieth annual Rose Tournament game, three days away. Potentially the most closely match ed elevens in recent years of the flower fiesta, the representatives of the West and South put the final touches on of.'cne and defense this afternoon. Stanford will work twice more and the Crimson Tide once, but the fact remained that anything done on the practice field from now on can hardly turn the tide of victory one way or the other. It la a Job for psychologists now and the weather man has promised to maintain a hands-off policy. He promised clear, cool wather for the struggle. That will suit both teams. In spite of early talk setting Coach Prank Thomas' unbeaten and untied team up as the favorite. It was con sidered likely that the standard bear ers of the West, without defeat but tied once, would go into the struggle at even money. Coach Claude (Tinv Thornhlll put his team through a snappy signal drill today, continuing to put more stress on passes than on running plays. The southerners, apparently already at that fine edge, worked less. but stressed the same point aerial football. While the Indians were throwing the ball around Brook side park pro miscuously, the fact failed to cloud the issue. It continued to be a well determined fact that the game would resolve Itself into a struggle between air and land forces. I ' ' .. .1 World News At a Glance Broader Hank IhMiranre WASHJNOTON.

Three years ago, the Ford Motor Company brought a new standard of motor performance within reach oi the average purchaser by introduc ing the Ford V-8. The outstanding reliability and economy of its V-8 engine have been proved in the ser vice of more than a million motorists. For 1935, the Ford Motor Company takes another pioneering step and gives you ease of riding to match that modem engine performance. This achievement is Center-Poise Hiding accomplished by a funda mental change in car design with new, correct weight distribution, new seat position and new springing. The improvement is especially noticeable in the back seat. You ride forward, toward the center ol the car away from the rear axle and away from the bumps. Rear-seat passengers now have the comfort of a "front seat ride." CORRECT WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION -SPRINGBASE OF 123 INCHES Scientific distribution of weight has been effected by completely rede signing the chassis. Engine, frame DISTINCTIVE NEW LINES AND A NEW KIND OF RIDING COMFORT i anu body are all so balanced that their w tight is about equally dis tributed on all four wheels. This per mits the use of longer, more flexible springs, both front and rear. The springbase of the New Ford V-8 is 123 inches, eleven inches longer than the wheelbase. The front spring is mounted forward oi the front axle, instead of over it. The rear spring is mounted eight inches behind the rear axle. This long springbase gives increased comfort without sacrificing ease of handling. Spring leaves are tapered to in sure quiet operation as well as greater flexibility. The Ford policy of constant im provement is reflected also in the beautiful body lines of the New Ford V-8 for 1935. They are distinctively, modem, yet not extreme. The whole appearance of the car is one of grace and substantial strength. NEW BODY ROOM-NEW BRAKES -NEW CLUTCH EASIER STEERING The Dew Ford V-8 is longer and widor, with more leg room, more seat room and more luggage room. The front seats are 4 to 5't inches wider and seat three comfortably. The car is lower easier to step in and out. Rear doors in sedans are wider. The new pillowed seats are unusually comfortable, with softer back springs and seat springs. The new interior finish, upholstery and appointments are richer and more luxurious than anything you have ever seen in a low-price car. Other important 1935 features are the newly designed brakes and clutch, with softer action, requiring less foot pressure ou the pedals, easier steering and new lower X-typa frame. The front doors now open for ward. There are two new body types Touring Sedans, with built-in trunk. All 1935 Ford cars are equipped with Safety Glass throughout, at no addi tional cost.
