rJ. Giardello Wins Easily By ED SAINSBURY Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R) Joey Giardello found a "made to order" opponent in German Peter Mueller, and hence he claimed today he had more than earned a shot at carl (Bobo) Ol son's middleweight title. Mueller, appearing in his sixth American fight, hardly classed as a test before 10,003 fans in Milwaukee Arena Monday night. The German, weighing 156 to Giardello's 15&Vz, sparred cau tiously most of the first round". Flat On Back Then he was tagged with a left hook and a right hook and he went to the canvas, flat on his back. The bell rang at the count of seven to save him from a knockout. -- The second round lasted only 29 seconds. By then, Giardello had rocked the Cologne fighter with another left and right to leave him cold. Mueller scram bled partially to his feet at the count of eight, but toppled back ward then and was lying against the ropes as Referee Omar Crocker counted ten. Mueller again arose to attempt to continue the bout, but his own manager, Al Iang, wrestled him - to the deck, to stop him from going toward another slaughter.

Proper Grass Care Suggested for Lawns Chicago (U.R) Your front lawn can be tough enough for a neighborhood football game if you plant wisely and give the grass proper care, according to the Journal of Housing. The magazine, published by the National Association of housing and Redevelopment of ficials, offered these tips: 1. Pick the right grasses bluegrasses, fescues and bents for the northern part of the country, and bermudagrass. cen tipedegrass and zoysia for the warmest sections. 2. Cultivate the soil regularly. 3. Use plenty of fertilizer at regular times. 4. Mow often when the grass gets to be high enough 1V4 to 2 inches for cool-season grasses and one inch for warm-season grasses. 5. Water deeply as needed but only as fast as the soil will absorb. The Journal said that mowing is "a shock to grass" and that the shock is greater the longer the time between mowings. The article said homeowners could take a tip from golf course greenkeepers by "plugging," a term that means digging up a damaged piece of sod and insect ing a new and healthy piece. The western North Carolina region has 223 mountains with an altitude of 5,000 or more feet, surveys show. MOVING?

Norris Handicap 1322 PLANS RETIREMENT New York (U.R) Hayes Alan Jenkins, three-time world figure skating champion, arrived here by plans from Europe Tuesday and announced he planned to re tire after attempting to win the world and Olympic titles in 1956. Jenkins, a 21-year-old stu dent at Colorado College, cap tured the world title for the third straight year Feb. 16 at Vienna. . The Amazon is navigable to ocean craft for 2,000 miles. LIU is bottled at Fort Worth Dallas May Get Navigable Waterway Dallas, Tex. (U.PJ Fort Worth and Dallas, sitting high and dry 300 miles from the sea, may have a navigable water way some day if a bill now be fore the Legislature is approved. This bill would create a state governmental sub - division known as the Trinity River Authority. Its purpose would be to put to better use the winding Trinity, an undisciplined stream that cuts all the way through the eastern part of the state from Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexico. The authority's directors would establish a master plan for development of the river watershed for water storage, soil conservation, flood control, irrigation and, ultimately, barge traffic from the Gulf into Dallas and Fort Worth. Thirty - one counties would share directly in this tremen dous undertaking, but backers say the entire state would profit one way or another. It would require many millions of dol lars and would take more than a decade to finish. The U. S. Army Corps of En gineers gave its blessing to the plan more than 15 years ago, declaring it entirely feasible and working up a program by which it could be realized. But a 1939 plan in which a narrow canal would be dug from the Gulf to Dallas-Fort Worth, in the order of the intracoastal waterway, has recently been shelved for what is believed to be a better program. The first step would be con struction of a salt-water barrier with locks at the mouth of the river to protect some 400,000 acres of irrigated rice land in the coastal area from salt water intrusion. This dam would have to be high enough to hold back a great lake out of which irri gation water could supply the rice fields. The new plan emerged from that need for protection of the rice farmers. From there, the program would entail convert ing the entire length of the Trinity into a string of lakes so that the river would become one long reservoir chopped off at long intervals by dams. The huge dams would back up water for many miles, creating huge lakes that would be 60 or 70 feet deep at the south end, gradually getting shallower to 12 or 15 feet at the north. Then, at the north end, another dam American Motors rolls our the red carpet with the all-new 1955 Hudson Hornets and Wasps Set "Ditmylandn great mw iH famirf show, ABC-TV network. Ctnck TV listJagt far time aid rtitioa- Front & Jackson Wednesday, March 2. 1955 would be built, another lake created. This would go on all the way to Fort Worth. Engineers say no more 'than seven locks would be required from the Gulf Coast to Dallas and no more than three from Dallas to Fort Worth. They say it would provide a satisfactory route of navigation for barges and they could travel upstream almost as fast as downstream be cause of the stillness of the lakes. This plan, of course, envisions only barge-line traffic and makes no provision for ocean going vessels ever using the waterway. . . . . The Trinity Authority would have power to issue bonds to finance development of . . the watershed. The bonds would be supported by revenues from water storage and sale of water, as well as tolls charged for the eventual barge traffic. - The measure provides for an ad valorem tax of up to 10 cents per $100 property valuation. Approval of voters in the coun ties comprising the authority would be required for levying the tax. Backers say the conservation of this tremendous amount of water would open up limitless possibilities for industrial and agricultural expansion and de velopment, not only in the Trinity watershed, but through out Texas and the south-western part of the United States. Opponents of the bill call the whole plan fantastic and label backers of it "ditch-diggers." Despite this opposition, Fort Worth and Dallas civic leaders are dead serious about pushing through the program to comple tion.
