Manager Hymie Wallman charged the commission was giving Brown the championship "before it gets started," point ing out that the lighter gloves helps a "puncher" like Brown. Commissioner Leo J. Crowley said the 8-ounce rule was "our rule and we can change it." Most championship bouts, out side Colorado, which has not had a title bout since 1918, are fought with the 6-ounce glove.

STUDS, GRANTS PASS COLLIDE HERE TONIGHT Medford Cheney Studs could run into their stiffest opposition in Rogue Valley league games so far this season this evening when they engage the Grants Pass Merchants baseball nine. The scuffle has been set for 8 p.m. at the fairgrounds ball park here. Grants Pass, after a slow start appears to be on the way as a contender in the circuit. The Merchants lost their first six games of the season, finally moving into the win column against Camp White last Sun day. Softballers Bill League Encounters A battle for unbeaten leader ship in the Jackson County Soft ball association is scheduled Thursday night in the double header set for Ricker field, Camp White. Courtesy Chevrolet and Cra ter Lake Motors are to mix at 7 p.m. and M and W Chain Saw is billed against the Rogue Val ley Dairy Maids about 8:30 p.m. Crater Lake Motors now heads the circuit with two wins and no losses. Courtesy has won the only game it has played so M and W. and Dairy Maids have dropped the only games they have played in the loop to date. However, the Maids pro tested their Monday night fray with Morse Moto.s, and a replay reportedly is slated. Schedule Told The schedule for the loop through July has been an nounced by Villard Barnum who has been in charge of JCSA affairs. Since they have mem bers who are at National Guard camp, the National Guard and Parsons Motors don't have ac tion until after that July 1 date. Parsons has played two games but National Guard none. The schedule includes: June 24 Crater Lake Motors vs. Dairy Maids. 7 p m.: M and W Chain Saw vs. 20-30 club, second Rame. June 27 Morse Motors vs. Crater Lake Motors, 7 p.m.; Dairy Maids vs. Courtesy Chevrolet, second game. July 1 Courtesy Chevrolet vs. M and W Chain Saw, 7 p.m.; Dairy Maids vs. 20 30 club. July 4 Tentatively no games planned. GP was strengthened at al most every position. And with the club was Larry Cochell, who started as a chucker for GP high before attending school in Phoenix, Ariz., during the past year. He allowed Veterans Ad ministration domiciliary club just one hit over eight innings. The Merchants, however, may find the Studs packing mur derous power with their bats. Medford has come up with hefty swatting in each of its three previous league scraps and has a total of 13 homers to date in loop play. And Cheney pitching by Duane Sides. Don Vannice and Jerry Droscher and defen sive play so far has matched the hitting. Sides is expected to get the hurling assignment tonight and will be after his third triumph in the circuit. It's not known whether Grants Pass Manager Glenn Reese will call on Coch ell so soon after his Sunday performance. He might name his hurler from among J i m Smith, Don Jacobson and Phil Lewis. The Studs' plans to have an other stellar outfielder on the squad were hit last Sunday when Dick Smith, ex-Glide standout suffered a fractured ankle in a tryout camp at Los Angeles. j Tonight's game is a make-up mix for one originally planned in May. Responsibility for Elm Disease Told Grand Rapids, Mich. rtPl Bernard Warren, retired furni ture executive, says he is respon sible for the nation's Dutch elm disease blight. Warren said he unwittingly brought the disease to the United States in the 1920 s when he imported 12 cailoads of Car pathian elm stumps from Europe for elm burl furniture veneer. "The whole thing was done innocently," he said. Since then the blight has at tacked and injured or destroyed many elm trees in the eastern part of the nation. "If I had it to do again, I'd leave the darn stuff over there," Warren said. "I'm not a bit proud of it."

Swedish Industries Find Advantages Under Ground Stockholm dustries which have gone under ground to protect themselves against air raids are finding peacetice advantages in their deep-rock shelters which are likely to make subterranean fac tories permanent establishments. There are no published fig ures on the extent of these underground factories. Informed sources estimate that virtually all of Sweden's vital defense in dustries now are in underground quarters, blasted out of solid granite. The first prrvately owned concern to build underground was AGA (Swenska AB Gas Accumulator), manufacturers of marine beacons, optical goods, Swedish in-1 radio and television sets and in- Brush Fire Burns Out of Control Near Los Angeles Los Angeles (IP) A second major brush and forest fire blazed out of control today in Temescal Canyon near Lake Elsinore, threatening to surpass an earlier conflagration that razed 1,850 acres during 100 degree Southern California wea ther. Assistant California Forester Harvey French, in charge of fire fighting operations, said the new blaze probably would cover 4000 acres beiore it could be con trolled. Fire crews faced the outbreak near the village of Alberhill, about seven miles northwest of the dried Elsinore lakebed. The flames moved toward Corona to the north in the citrus belt, but that city was not in any imme diate danger. No Homes Threatened French said 1,000. acres burn ed overnight in the Temescal blaze, and that a major portion of the 350 fire fighters in the area had been shifted to that area. There were no homes or ranches threatened in the sparse ly populated sector. More than 1,600 acres were burned over inside the city of Los Angeles, including the natu ral wilderness of Griffith Park, but these fires were reported under control early today. The first major brush fire of the year was brought under con trol Tuesday near Lake Elsinore The blaze blacked 1,850 acres of brush. The Griffith Park fire in San Fernando Valley area was con trolled Tuesday night by the city fire department. No struc tures were destroyed but 1,000 acres in the vast park were charred.

At their "Rock Workshop" just outside Stock holm half a million cubic feet of rock were removed to provide 18,000 square feet of space under a roof of solid rock about 60 feet thick. Germ-free Air The interior walls and ceiling are natural rock, painted a spot less white. The quarters are air- conditioned and have fluores cent lighting. Maintenance costs are much lower than for build ings above ground, but the in itial cost of building below is greater. In the underground factory, humidity is controlled so equip ment and tools do not rust. The filtered air is germ-free; there is less illness among the workers. There is no dust in the air, an important factor in the optical shop where AGA, among other products is making Cinemascope lenses for theaters. The subter ranean floor provides the solid est foundation for very heavy equipment, reducing the amount of care and maintenance need ed to keep it functioning at its best. Sweden's underground shelt ers include hangars at most air bases and tunnels blasted into rock islands for naval units. There are underground posts for joint military and civilian use in all parts of the country. In the major cities there are 15 large shelters more are be ing built which are expected to provide protection for 100,000 persons against anything but a direct atom bomb hit. One of these civilian shelters in the center of Stockholm, shaped like a bowl turned up side down, has nearly 70 feet of granite above it. It will accom modate 20.00P persons sitting up or 5,000 sleeping; or 600 auto mobiles. It is now being used as a public garage and helping to solve Stockholm's parking prob lem. The shelter is air-conditioned and has its own power equipment for use if outside power is cut off. Sliding steel doors, six feet thick, would pro tect against blast, radiation and atomic dust. Four more of these shelters are being built in Stockholm. They are intended to accommo date the 5 or 10 per cent of the population who would have to stay there in an emeregency after the rest were evacuated. All new homes and apartment buildings are being equipped with their own shelters, but there are not enough of them in central btocKnoim io tne deep rock shelters are being added. The one most recently com pleted required four years to build. One hundred and 10 tons of dynamite were used to blast out 132,000 cubic yards of rock for it.
