New York U.R) Heavy
weight champ Rocky Marciano
is a 5 to 1 favorite today to put
the lights out for Britain's Don
Cockell and his camp apparently
is so confident it's an underlay
that they're putting the knock
n the Brockton block buster.
Not that Rocky's entourage is
comparing him to a six-round
preliminary boy. You could
hardly do that to an undefeated
heawweicht chamDion of the
world.
: But a slight knock, withal,
and one apparently designed to
help the business of selling paste
boards of admission.
The latest dispatches from the
ock-sharnening sites on the
West Coast are building up
Cockell as a cross between King
Kong and Man O' War. And, to
brine the two gladiators a bit
closer in the,public mind. Mar
ciano trainer Charley Goldman
assertedly hss opined that the
Rock still has "some important
things to learn."
The need of such study is baf
fling, unless they want him to
learn the art of destroying more
than one opponent per evening.
So Goldman's alleged remarks
are downright mysterious.
Red Raiders Win From

WASHINGTON VICTOR
Corvallis (U.R) The Uni
versity of Washington ROTC
rifle team won the annual Pow
11 trophy match here Saturday
by one point. The Huskies beat
lit Oregon State by piling up
1903 points. University of Idaho
took a third with 1781. Gordon
McAllister of Washington was
high for individual scoring with
385 points.
HUSKIES TRIUMPH
Seattle (U.R) The Wash
ington Huskies took all matches,
without loss of a single set, to
down the Idaho Vandals, 7-0, in
a Northern Division tennis meet
here Saturday.
Navy Undecided on
Disposal of 'Oregon'
Washington (U.R) The
Navy said today it hasn't de
cided what to do about dispos
ing of the old USS; Oregon.
Rep. Walter Norblad (R-Ore.)
had proposed that the battle
ship, now a rusting hulk anch
ored off Guam, be given a prop
er burial at sea with patriotic
ceremonies.
Rear Adm. B. E. Manseau,
acting chief of the Bureau of
Ships, wrote Norblad that the
Navy wasn't sure if scuttling the
vessel at sea was legal. Manseau
said he would let Norblad know
what the Navy decides. The ship
is due for disposal after July
23, unless some patriotic group
volunteers to pay the cost of
reclaiming her as an historic exhibit.
Portland Student
Victim of Attack
r Portland (U.R) An 18-year-old
Porand State college stu
dent wa?"in a local hospital to
day recovering from injuries
and shock received when she
was brutally and criminally at
tacked late last night.
The girl told police she was
walking to her home from a bus
stop shortly before miduight
when a youth "between 17 and
21 years old" accosted her. The
girl struggled with the youth,
but lost consciousness.
The victim received two black
eyes, a broken nose, bruises and
abrasions, and shock. Her purse
was stolen by the attacker.
"To begin with," little Char
ley purportedly quoth, "it takes
Rocky four or five rounds to
fathom the style of an opponent
Most topnotch fighters get a
good idea of an opponent's style
after a round or two. Marciano
therefore looks crude in the ear
ly moments of the fight."
Goldman neglected to add that
he wasn't questioning Marci-
ano's brightness. Somehow, it
seems, he should have.
"Then again," Goldman's prose
continues. "Rocky -is wild. He
has a tendency to get excited
and throw a lot of punches that
never land. This explains why
Rocky gets hit so often."
Rocky does get hit often. But
this usually is accepted as an oc
cupational hazard in the busi
ness of box fighting. The most
important item centers around
which warrior does the most
damage or is in an upright posi
tion when the gong sounds.
Obviously the odds-makers do
not believe that said battler will
be Cockell.
Champion Always Favorite
Of course, it is most tradition
al for the defending champion
to be the favorite, as Rocky will
be in this May 16 embroglio at
San Francisco. But the Rock,
himself, was an exception to this
rule, as were such as Joe Louis
and Max Baer.
Marciano was the 5 to 9 choice
when he belted out old Jersej
Joe Walcott. Louis was 2 to 5
over Jimmy Braddock and Baer
was favored over Camera.
But the feverish efforts to
bring down the odds and make
this bout a "draw don t seem
to figure in the current case.
The "Rock" is not one of those
"old men" over the hill who is
depending on a reputation to
carry him home. He is an eager,
still-ambitious and hard-working
man proud of the title and intent
on retaining it. He has looked
better in every fight and hits
murderously.
The odds aren't long enough
yet.

Four in Family Die
In Kerosene Explosion
Sappho (U.R) This com
munity on the Olympic Penin

of four of its residents as a re
sult of a home fire Friday.

Range Conservation
Importaant in Area's
Economic Structure
(Editor's note: This is the
second in a series of articles
being published this week in
connection with Conservation
of Natural Resources week.
May 1 to 7.)
By W. B. TUCKER
County Extension Agent
Range lands might generally
be considered the non-cultivated
lands . of , the area. Frequently
those lands devoted to the pro
duction of timber are classed as
range lands principally because
they may be grazed by domestic
livestock.
Here in Jackson county much
of this timber land may be uti
lized for grazing purposes as it
is possible to combine forage
production and forest tree pro
duction at the same time. In
general it will be more to the
point to consider those areas
that are primarily adapted to
grass production rather than
trees.
Many Acres
There are in excess of 150,000
acres of such grazing lands prii
vately owned and a greater
acreage of federally owned graz
ing land in Jackson county. Con
servation of grazing land could
be defined as manaement to
hold the .soil in place, maintain
or improve its production capa
city, contribute to the economy
of the area by supplying forage
for livestock, game and wildlife.
and contribute to the recreation
facilities of the area.
To hold the soil in place it
is necessary to have a rather
close growing or dense growth
of grass. Native and improved
adapted varieties are used. To
maintain stands of deep rooted
perennial grasses and legumes.
Maintenance of stands may re
quire additional management
practices such as controlled
grazing so that these range gras
ses and legumes may reach ma
turity each season thereby per
mitting the individual plants to
store up food reserves to last
thru adverse periods of drought,
freezing temparrures or heavy
snow and ice coatings.
Controlled Grazing
Controlled grazing r ay be
recognized as "deferred" graz
ing, rotated grazing and per
mitting only -uch numbers of
livestock on the area that will
enable the forage crops to ex
ceed the livestock's capacity to
consume.
The livestock operator may al
so prevent livestock from con
centrating on certain areas or
from trailing over range areas
constantly. The development of
adequate watering places, the
placing of salt stations and the
so called "bedding out" system
for sheep all tend to prevent
trampingout of grasses.
Management also includes the
control of objectionable compet
ing plants such as brush, non
palatable and poisonous weeds.
When these desirable grasses are
maintained in a thrifty, vigorous
growing condition, the encroach
ment hazard of weeds and brush
is reduced to a minimum. When
weeds and brush appear in ever
greater numbers it is one of the
indicators of faulty manage
ment. These grazing areas once were
covered with grass. Man's mis-
Bevan Blast Boosts British Election War
London " (U.R) The tra
ditional three-week period of po
litical infighting before general
elections opened officially to
day, boosted considerably by a
resounding blast from leftwing
Labor Leader Aneurin Bevan.
Bevan shattered the gentle
manly calm of British politics
yesterday by calling Prime Min
ister Anthony Eden's Conserva
tive party a "complacent, sat
isfied, harmonious lot of mor
ons" whose foreign policy is dic
tated by Washington.
Bevan's words signified that
the skirmishing before the May
26 elections is over and that the
main battle is underway. Hal
lowed political custom decrees
the main election campaign not
start until three weeks before
polling day.
Dead line Sunday Classified is at
noon Saturday; 1 a. m. Monday for

Demo Leaders Seek
Bread for Unemployed
Washington (U.R) Demo
cratic farm leaders sought to-!
day to force the Eisenhower ad- i
ministration to offer surplus gov- i
ernment wheat to state relief
agancies to provide free bread
for the unemployed.
Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.),
said Democrats were ready to
ram through the House Agri
culture committee today a bill
which would allow the Agri
culture Department to reverse
its stand against such donations.
He said the bill would be act-!
ed upon, barring a reversal of ;
department policy at a commit- j
tee hearing today. The commit- j
tee invited Secretary of Agri-'
culture Ezra T. Benson or Un
dersecretary True D. Morse to i
testify. .- J
