TQf MOFOBD (0BKOOH1 MAIL TWBTJITK ',' Friday. August 7. 1151 i Sport K OSCAR FRALEY I my I WyT Jr Uarred Press rarade sL, - WriNr New York U.R) A Rocky Marciano who "isn't taking any chances" and a grim, bitterly de termined Ro land LaStarza today both shrugged off the 3 to 1 odds favoring the h eavyweight champion for their title fight f at the Polo I Grounds, Sept. Both fighters Oscar Fsaley are doing more than the accepted share of think ing for men who earn their liv ing with their fists. And the surprising outcome of their men tal labors is that Marciano is approaching this one with an unexpected amount of caution while LaStarza, long regarded as a reluctant tiger, sounds al most scornful of the champ. If these are lasting attitudes, it could develop into quite a fight. "There's no doubt in my mind but what this could be the toughest fight of my ca reer, Marciano Insisted from Us training camp. Even tougher than his first fight with Jersey Joe Walcott. when, trailing on points, he caught the ancient warrior with a winning knockout punch in the 13th round? "Yes. Marciano asserted, "even tougher than that La Starza has a lot of courage, he's almost three years younger than I am, and, while he's a good boxer, he can punch, too. On top of that, he's bitter." The impatient LaStarza, -working hard at his camp in Green wood Lake, N. Y., said flatty Governors Go ' On Fishing Trip After Conference Seattle U.R) About 20 governors relaxed today after their 45th annual conference by angling for salmon with Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washing ton. The rest of the 43 governors who attended the conference that ended here yesterday headed for home. Langlie's party was to fish off West port. Wash. Stronger Governments Final business sessions yester day saw the governors go on record for stronger state gov ernments. The states rights res olution which the governors passed yesterday was given strong impetus Tuesday when President Eisenhower told the Gasoline Price Hikes Under Investigation Washington flJ.R) The Jus tice Department is looking into the recent wave of gasoline re tail price hikes for possible viola tions of federal anti-trust laws, it was disclosed today. The department said in a let ter to Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, (D-Minn.), that it is "collecting and studying all information obtainable with a view of deter mining whether collusive action among the oil companies can be established." Humphrey had written to the department about complaints of Minnesota gasoline jobbers and consumers that the price in creases were "unwarranted." and with a quiet confidence: "I'm sure I can lick him. He's no better as a fighter than he was in 1950. What's so great about Marciano?" The crux of the bout. In which there eventually will be a great piay on we emitting animosity between the two men, concerns the bitterness which developed when Mar ciano's camp snubbed a re turn bout agreement three and a half years ago. At that time, Marciano and LaStarza both were angling for a shot at the heavyweight crown. Rocky won a split and except ionally close 10 round decision and then, as he was steered to ward a title shot, treated La Starza as if he had the measles. Rocky went on to win the crown and LaStarza, lost in the backwash became so discour aged that at one point he threat-e-ied to quit the ring. "You can't blame Marciano for ducking me." LaStarza said, but you can, and I do, blame him for not living up to the terms of our agreement for a re turn bout I've been waiting since March, 1950 for this fight and. I'm not going to blow this chance." Empty Life Rafts Dash Survival Hopes for Airmen London (U.R) The sighting of two apparently empty life rafts in the stormy North At lantic dashed hopes today that more than four persons survived Wednesday's crash of a RB-36 reconnaissance bomber carrying 23 passengers and crew.

Survivors Enroute Four survivors of the 23 man crew that ditched the burning plane were en route to Canada and England aboard British res cue vessels. Five bodies were recovered from the sea.
