(U.PJ Chico Vejar, the oddsmakers' 8 to 5 choice, attempts to make it two-in-a-row over the rapidly fading Billy Graham tonight in their nationally televised 10-round bout at the War Memorial. GAME WASHED OUT Salem (U.R) Rain today washed out the Willamette-Oregon baseball game scheduled for Bush field here. It also was too wet to play in Eugene. John Saxton Solid Choice Boston U.R) Welterweight champion Johnny Saxton was a solid 2-1 favorite to successfully defend his title against hard-hit ting Tony DeMarco in a 15-round championship bout tonight at Boston Garden. Both boys figured to be cham- ion by Saturday morning but Saxton was more confident the joke would be on the husky 23-year-old challenger after their April Fool's night battle. In fact, the 24-year-old New Yorker predicted his first title defense since taking the crown from Kid Gavilan last October would not extend him beyond 10 or 11 rounds. The winner faces the prospect of even more lucrative pickings. A contract clause stipulates that regardless who wins tonight, he must put the title on the line against Carmen Basilio April 29 at Syracuse, N.Y. If Saxton loses tonight, the winner of the April 29 match would have to meet him first. MAXWELL, HAAS LEAD Wilmington, N.C.

Businessman Builds Je! Plane From Second Hand Parts Chicago U.R) Insurance ex ecutive John MacArthur takes this "do-it-yourself" stuff seri ously. He built himself a jet plane out of junk. MacArthur, wealthy 58-year-old head of the Bankers Life and Casualty Co., revealed Thursday that the craft was put together, bit by bit, over the past two years from parts of wrecks which the Air Force sold as junk. He said this makes him the first civilian owner of an Air Force T-33 jet. The plane was assembled by Florida Aviation, a subsidiary of the insurance company, at its Los Angeles plant. MacArthur sr.id the plant doesn't build jets, but he's sure this one will be assembled correctly. Cost High "It cost me five times as much as a new plane, I'm sure," he said, "but I wanted a jet." MacArthur said he has been able to recover some of the ex penses by selling duplicate parts and "junk" from the wreckage. He" said there was some alarm over his project in official cir cles,' even though the four men who scouted wreckage for him purchased the junk from civil ians and not directly from any government agency. "The Air Force didn't like the idea," MacArthur said, "but there was nothing they could do about it." Even the FBI checked, but agents went away satisfied. Asked if a representative of an unfriendly power couldn't likewise assembl a jet, MacAr thur said such a person wouldn't be interested because "if they wanted one of our jets, they'd steal one."

Asides ' Among the talents possessed by too few men is the talent for discovering talent. Edward Fitz gerald had to pay for the print ing of his Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam before he could get it before the public. No editor could see anything in it. Burns and Kipling had to pay for the printing of their poetry at first. Carrie Jacobs Bond, turned down by innumerable song pub lishers, borrowed $1,500 and published her own works. Only Child Girls who are an only child usually have many children. Keep this in mind, young fellow. If you marry a girl who is an only child you will probably have at least six children. Not only that, but most of them will be girls. I know of one woman who was an only child who now has 10 daughters and no sons.

Friday. April I, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELETEW Determined Woman Defies State on Offer for Home . Sacramento, Calif. (U.R) Mrs. Floyd Gallo, fingering her 12-gauge shotgun, declared that $20,000 is not enough for her home. Next to her was a bold, 5-foot sign reading, "Division of High ways Unfair. God Help Us." "I told one of those State High way men not to take a shovelful of dirt from my place before this is settled in court," she snapped. "If they try to, I'll be waiting with my shotgun." The California Division of Highways wants the Gallo prop erty for a freeway along Stock ton Boulevard. "We're not asking for any thing we haven't got coming," she said. "We only want just compensation for our property. They offered us only $20,000 for our four and one-half acres and our house. It's worth a lot more." Mrs. Gallo has hired State Sen. Earl Desmond as her attorney to fight her case in the courts. Meanwhile, she will defend her attractive adobe and tile home and its big yard herself. : Jerome F. Lipp, right of way agent in charge, said most prop erty owners in the area had ac cepted the state's offer without protest. "We plan to keep negotiating and hope to work it out amicably without further litigation," he said. "We think our offer on the Gallo property is fair. It's true they have a fine house, but it is considered an over-payment in that area."
