X International) Webb Opposes Sandy Tonight Chicago (U.R) Fight Manag er Hec Knowles registered a protest in advance today on be half of his star middleweight, Spider Webb, who tangles with Randy Sandy in the weekly tele vision scrap tonight. "I don't think it's fair for Carmen Basilio to talk about fighting the middleweight cham pion," Knowles said, "at least until he's cleaned up1 the welter weights." Basilio, the 147-pound title holder, and Gene Fullmer, now the middleweight champion, both were known to be interest ed in an early summer battle for a "big payday" for each fighter. But Knowles believed such an encounter would penalize Webb, now the world's third ranked 160-pounder and a heavy favorite to defeat Sandy to night.

However, an amendment to SB4 retains the provision that the injured party shall recover only special damages and not punitive damages where the publisher or broadcaster proves that the defamation was not in tended or the result of negli gence and further proves that a correction was made. Sen. Philip Lowry, Medford Republican who explained the bill, said there was a question concerning the constitutionality of the 1955 libel act. He said there was a further question of policy concerning the responsi bility of news media for abuse of the rights of freedom ' of speech and freedom of the press. False Teeth Should Show Wearer's Age St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R) False teeth should be looked on as a work of art, according to a California dentist who makes them for Hollywood movie stars. Dr. Roland Fisher of Glen dale, Calif-, addressing the Flor ida Dental Society Tuesday, said dentists should note the art istic styles of sculptors in de signing false teeth. He said false teeth should express the wear er's age, personality and sex. "A man of 50 should not have the same type of false teeth as a man in his 20s," Fisn er said. Sen. Alfred H. Corbett, Port land Democrat, speaking for the bill, said publishers and others responsible for dissemination of the news should be held "to a high standard of care" in the treatment of news. Sen. Leander Quiring, HermiS' ton Republican, spoke against the measure. He said the 1956 law had proved a protection of those in charge of news media against "nuisance value" law suits where an error was ob viously unintentional, such as a typographical error in a news paper story. He said that in the two years before the 1955 act went into effect, Oregon pub lishers were plagued with some 16 "nuisance value" libel suits. Those are suits where the plain tiff hopes to get a settlement of some sort from the publisher which the publisher might find cheaper than taking the case to court. Sen. Quiring said that since the 1955 act went into effect, not a' single suit had been filed. Joining with those voting for the bill which had been opposed by newspapers through their as sociation, was the only publish er in the Senate, Sen. Monroe Sweetland, Democrat, who pub lishes a weekly newspaper in Milwaukie. The House passed 29-26 a joint resolution which asks the peo ple to vote on a $15 million bond program to finance a building program at state insti tutions. The resolution, requested by State Treasurer Sig Unander, did not contain an original pro vision that all state surpluses of more than $10 million be used to retire the bonds. Rep. Clar ence Barton, Coquille, said his House Tax committee felt the provision would "ham string" future legislators. 51 sf Andrea Doria Crash Victim Dies Uniontown, Pa.
