Spider Claims Sugar Goofing Chicago -fliPB Middleweight Spider Webb wants a win over Bobby Boyd in a tele vised fight tonight because "it should open the gates for me for a title fight." Webb, a 5 to 2 favorite for the match, was bitter though about the title prospects since he' believed champion Sugar Ray Robinson was "goofing up the whole works." "I don't think it's fair for him to be playing off fights with Archie Moore or Carmen Basilio and making all the rest of us hang around," he said. "He's made everybody spend two years waiting al ready. I'm definitely a better fighter now than I was then, but how long can you go on waiting."

San Juan, Puerto Rico -ffiPI -The AFL-CIO announced to day a new drive to organize six million industrial workers in the South and 14 million white collar workers through out the United States. Organizing director John Livingston said the new drive would be in addition to plans to charter a new Puerto Rican truckdrivers' union to oppose efforts by James R. Hoffa's Teamsters Union to gain a foothold in the island commonwealth. Livingston and President George Meany, who presided at the nine-day executive council meeting which ended here Tuesday, belittled the teamster drive to gain 12,000 Puerto Rican members, say ing the teamsters had signed up only about 200 members since their Puerto Rican cam paign opened here six weeks ago. In Miami, Hoffa predicted his union would win hands down in any race with the AFL-CIO to organize Puerto Rican workers. The teamsters executive board voted Tues day to spend "as much money as is necessary" to organize a Puerto Rican union. Livingston said AFL-CIO unions won 59 per cent of all National Labor Relations Board elections since the ri val federations merged in De cember, 1955 and that more than one million new mem bers had joined the union. He said his organizing de partment now has more re quests for aid from affiliates than at anytime since the mer ger, especially in Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Del aware, Maryland and Virginia.
