PAL COMPLETES CARD FOR RING SHOW HERE OH SATURDAY RIGHT With standout mittmen Jackie Puscas and Tommy Thomas heading the list, officials of the Medford Police Athletic league today announced the complete matchings for their Battle of Champions benefit amateur box ing card scheduled for Saturday night at Merrick's arena here. The card shows a number of changes from previously re ported pairings but PAL match makers hope that a stronger and more entertaining program will result for local fans. There are a number of champions slated to appear on the card. PAL lists 13 bouts rather than the 12 earlier announced. First bout is at 8:30 p.m. Puscas, an old favorite here and a nationally-rated pugilist who hails from Eugene, will take on Manny Fernandez in the top half of a double main event. Fernandez is champ of his own Eureka, Calif., area. It will be a lightweight encounter. Thomas, a Portland Air Base luminary, has been matched against Paul Scheiberl, another Portlander, in the other half of the main. It will be a middle weight engagement. Matchers feit that Scheiberl would give Thomas a better hassle than the earlier reported foe, Jimmy Wilson. Thomas is highly re garded in AAU circles and is northwest Golden Gloves titlist. Denny Moyer Coming Wilson, a Eureka champ, has been billed with Denny Moyer, one of two Portland brothers well known in northwest ama teur tussling. They will be in one of two semi-wind-ups.

Tully, a "comer," has shown ability as a fast puncher. Featured prelim sends into the ring one of the top Medford PAL guys, Larry Lewis, dyna miting flyweight. He faces Mike Crader, Portland. Lewis has been doing right well for him self lately 'and, with local in terest high on his match, his bout could well be one of the highlights of the entire card. Lewis had been listed against neavier uawson t-arxysie, Port land. Christean vs. O'Neal There will be different rival also for Loren Christean, Med ford PAL.

Regarding the expression "get off your high horse, as far as I can figure it out, a man on a high horse is usually a mili tary or political leader portray ed in a monument. Usually such people consider themselves far above criticism. So, it may mean to come down to a common man's level where he can take advice or instruction.

California May Claim Royalties On Chessman Book San Francisco (U.R) Califor nia may claim the royalties from kidnap-rapist Caryl Chessman's latest book, if it is ever pub lished. Dep. Atty. Gen. Clarence Linn said yesterday that California had this right because Chessman is "legally dead." Linn voiced his opinion in up holding the action of San Quen tin Warden Harley O. Teets in impounding the manuscript of Chessman's second book. Can Burn Manuscript "The prison officials don't ever have to release the manu script, in my opinion," Linn said. "They can burn it if they want to." "Chessman is legally dead and. can own no property, nor can he assign any property. "If Chessman is executed, it is my opinion the book would go to the state controller, and any royalties to the state. Chessman, the author of the best-selling "Cell 2455, Death Row" published last year, tried Wednesday to assign rights and profits accruing from a second book to one of his attorneys, Rosalie Asher of Sacramento. He also tried to turn over the manuscript to her before Teets had approved it. Teets said he will hold the manuscript "indefinitely." Manuscript Approved He pointed out the first book was submitted to him and he then forwarded it to the Depart ment of Corrections, which ap proved it for publication. Miss Asher said she will go to the courts to gain release of the manuscript. Chessman is awaiting the death penalty in prison row for a series of crimes in southern California.

March 4, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEW City Grows on Prairie Near Chicago; Racing Officials Fight Incorporation Chicago (U.R) A new city has sprung .up on the prairie northwest of Chicago. The city of Rolling Meadows came into being last Saturday when residents voted to incor porate a four-square mile area at a special election. But the city's birth was not without labor, pains. The area includes the Arlington Park race track, which wants to be alone. Race track attorneys fought the - proposed incorporation in the courts and indicate they will resume the battle when Rolling Meadows elects city officials on whom legal papers can be served. ; The track has its own fire and police departments and its own water system. Spokesmen can see" no advantage in paying taxes and license fees to Rolling Meadows. Residents Are Refugees As a city, Rolling Meadows is a unique slice of America's younger middle class. Most of the residents are refugees from crowded Chicago, young couples with one or two kids. Their average income is estimated Western Pine Sets Production Record San Francisco (U.R) The Western Pine industry produced and marketed a record total of nearly 8,000,000,000 board feet of lumber during 1954, Presi dent U. R. Armstrong of the Western Pine Association an nounced today. Addressing the association's 24th annual meeting, Armstrong told members from the 12-state vestern pine region that 1955 may see pine volume approxi mate the same 8,000,000,000-foot total. somewhere between $4800 and $5200. Two years ago Rolling Mea dows was just what the name implies rolling farmland situ ated south of the race track and west of the village of Arlington Heights. Kimball Hill, 44-year-pld law yer turned builder, bought up 500 acres, much of it from the race track, and began building a city. Modestly priced ranch houses sprang up almost over night. About 950 homes are occu pied now, and Hill expects to build a total of about 4500. The present population of about 3500 is expected to hit 20,000 in the next three or four years. Most of the houses range in price from $11,500 to $13,500, and Hill said they are being snapped up before they're fin ished. Some require no down payment, and most of the mort gages, held by Prudential Life Insurance Co., are for 25 years. Wing Grove, president of the Rolling Meadows Home Own ers Association, said the resi dents are "probably the most civic minded people in the country." Large Turnout at Polls At the special election, 1268 of the 1500 eligible voters cast ballots. The vote was 759 for in corporation, 447 opposed. Grove estimated 50 per cent of the residents are under 30 years of age and 75 per cent under 35. "We've already set up com munity groups like the PTA, women's clubs, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cubs and Brownies," he said. "The people here are won derful." -) So far, the city's major indus try is the race track, but the in corporated area includes land along the Chicago & North Western Railway suitable for industry. ' -r- Hill set aside $200 for the purchase price of each house to build an 18-room grade school with plans to expand it to 40 rooms. He also donated an old barn and the building materials to fix it up as a community church. The Rev. S. Nelson Ringsmuth conducts Sunday services. He puts another rose on the homemade altar every time a baby is born in the congrega tion. "So far, we haven't missed a week," he said.
