Chico Vejar Favored

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.

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."
Fidlers To Attend
Realty Conclave
Mr. and Mrs. Lyle C. Fidler
of the Fidler-McKenzie agency
left Thursday for Salem to at
tend a meeting of the Oregon
Association of Real Estate
Boards being held there today.
Officers of the group were to
be installed during a luncheon
meeting at noon at the Marion
Hotel. Ralph Walstrom, Port
land, of Norris, Beggs and Simp
son, is the 1955 president. Com
missioner Ragnor O. John of the
Oregon Real Estate department
conducted the installations.
Fidler is on the slate of nomi
nees for director.
Tax proposals, advertising
policies by lending agencies and
banks, ethics of brokers and
realtors, and plans for a 1955
convention of the association
were to be considered at the ses
sion. Fidler is to confer with
Commissioner Johnson regard
ing violations of rules and regu

Get It Right
How many legs has a centi
pede? How could you answer
that query if put to you on a
quiz program? The answer is not
100, There are different kinds
of centipedes; one has 15 legs,
another kind has 21 legs, still an
other 40 legs. However, no
known centipede has 100 legs.
Over There
Some people continue to claim
the cost of living is as high in
London as in New York. If that
is so, a London bus driver with
a family to support must have
quite a struggle to make both
ends meet. The bus skippers in
the British capital are paid the
equivalent of $28 a week.

' 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

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.

"Semper paratus," motto of
the United States Coast Guard,
is also the motto of the Los An
geles fire department. It means
"always ready." ... It was Gau-
tier who said, "Women like au
dacity, when one astounds them
he interests them; and when one
interests them he is sure to
please them."
Please Note
In what state does a woman
getting a divorce get the best fi
nancial break? A Detroit legal
light claims it is Michigan. Says
he, "In Michigan, no matter how
long a woman has been married,
whether it is six months or six
years, she can and usually does
obtain 50 per" cent of any sav
ings, properties and assets."

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."
