Martinez
Choice Over
Gil Turner
New York (IP) Vince
Martinez is favored at 7-5 to
beat Gil Turner Wednesday
night at the Philadelphia
arena in their 12-round wel
terweight elimination, which
features this week's boxing
schedule.
This nationally televised
ABC bout between counter
puncher Martinez of Pater
son, IC.J., and aggressive Tur
ner of Philadelphia is the
second in an elimination ser
ies for the vacant welter
weight crown. Cuban Isaac
Logart beat Mexican Gaspar
Ortega in the first.
Turner, 27, forces the pace
and throws the most leather;
but Martinez, 23, is the smart
er fighter and harder punch'
er. Turner's 35 knockouts in
his 55-15-1 record were ach
ievea largely by wearing
down his opponents. Martin'
ez's 30 kayoes on his 58-5-0
list were largely the result of
blasting.
Johnson-Whitehurst
Friday night's nationally
televised and broadcast NBC
10-rounder brings together
Harold Johnson, top light
heavyweight contender, and
heavyweight Bert Whitehurst
at the Syracuse, N.Y., audit
orium. Johnson of Philadelphia,

orite at 3-1 over Whitehurst
of Ba'timore, a 190-pounder.
Johnson is the slicker boxer
and harder hitter.

Portlander Asks NCAA
Approval for Plastic
Glove for Back of Hand
Portland HP) Frederick
C. Iverson, North Bend, Ore.,
designer, said today he plans
to ask the NCAA to approve
n soft leather, plastic-covered
glove he has designed to pro
tect the back of football play
ers' hands.
Iverson said the glove was
used last season by Iowa with
approval of Big 10 officials,
It weighs three ounces.
He said he got the idea for
the glove several years ago
after his son, Richard, lost the
use o fa thumb because of a
cleat-injury.
The Oregon School Activ
ities association said it could
not use the glove because it
had been ruled out by the Na
tional Federation of High
School Athletics in Chicago.
Oden Hawes, OSAA assist
ant secretary, said it also was
decided at the National High
School Alliance convention in
Lexington, Ky., that high
schools were not ready for
that type of equipment.
Iowa team officials said the
gloves proved very satisfac
tory.

kel, public health physician
The over all death rate de
creased over last year by 0.5
per cent, Dr. Merkel reported.
He explained that acciden
tal deaths, when compared
with last year, show an in
crease of one. However, the
1956 deaths, 53, was an in
crease of 382 per cent over
1955, which indicates that the
county's accident rate is high
when compared with two
years ago.
During the past year there
were two maternal deaths,
one which followed acute in
fectious hepatitis. These
deaths alter the maternal
death rate which was 0.28 per
Portland Faces
Payroll Loss
Portland (IP) A Port of
Portland official, Dennis
Lindsay, declared at a port
commission meeting Monday
that this city may lose S6
million "or more" because of
"an arbitrary and unreason
able administrative ruling by
Navy personnel," in connec
tion with negotiations for a
new contract on a 17,000-ton
capacity dry dock.
Lindsay said the dock was
the key to the marine repair
industry here and that the
port's biggest payroll, $15
million to $20 million a year,
was involved. He said nego
tiations with the Navy had
all but "reached the end of
the line," but the commission
voted to try once more to
persuade the Navy's Bureau
of Ships to change its policy
of a required open call for
bids for leasing of dry docks.
Lindsay said that to pre
serve the industry in Port
land, the city "will have to
take action immediately to
build a dry dock of our own
if we cannot reach an agree
ment with the Navy."
The port, not in the ship re
pair business itself, only pro
vides the dry dock for the use
of private ship repair comp
anies, Lindsay explained, and
therefore "cannot" bid as
high as a private firm.

1,000 during the preceding
five year period. The 1957
rate was 1.46 per 1,000.
There is some question,
Dr. Merkel stated, whether
or not maternal death will
supersede infectious hepatitis
in one case as the cause of
death. This will be deter
mined by the vital statistics
division of the Oregon state
board of health.
Boeing Receives
Bomarc Contract
Washington (IP) The Air
Force Monday placed a multi
million dollar order with Boe
ing Airplane co., Seattle, for

has been officially said that
it can knock down a target
more than 100 miles from its
launching site. But it is be
lieved to have a range of 250
miles.
Boeing did not give the dol
