16 MAIL TRIBUNE, MerfferJ, Or. Tuday, July 28, 1959 Boxing Promoter Criticized for Not Cooperating Los Angeles (UPD Boxing promoter Jackie Leonard, vic tim of a mysterious fire in his home . Sunday night, was criti cized Monday by Police Chief William Parker as "uncoope rative." "Leonard has been a diffi cult person to work with in many respects," Parker said. He accused Leonard of be ing careless in following po lice instructions designed to protect him from possible re venge by the underworld for his testimony about gangland attempts to infiltrate Califor nia Boxing. Sunday's fire which caused $1,000 damage to Leonard's bedroom in his nearby North ridge home was probed by ar son investigators to see if it was deliberately set. Second Attempt Leonard claimed it was the second arson attempt at his home in two weeks. He said he discovered a can of gaso line outside the bedroom win dow July 12; Parker, in criticizing Leo nard, said the Hollywood Le gion matchmaker "revealed that we had installed electron ic devices in his office and we had asked him not to. Also, he failed to record telephone con versations as we had asked him to, and for which we pro vided the equipment. The gasoline incident was not re ported for three and a half days after the can was found at his home." . Leonard told reporters he was informed by police intelli gence officers that the under world has placed a $500 on his head. "That's not much money," said Leonard, "but I under stand some hired killers will work for as little as $250."

"Inflated prices are the re sult of scarcities and short ages," Meany told the Senate housing subcommittee. The measure would make possible the construction of 200,000 homes, " he said, and thus would "help reduce inflation ary prices rather than increase them." "Experience as well as common sense indicate that housing prices decline when the housing volume expands," Meany said. He urged Con gress to override the veto. If Congress did not approve a housing bill this year, he said, "the dilatory actions of a reactionary coalition in the Congress and the indefensible veto by the President of the moderate, constructive bill" would be responsible. Eisenhower rejected the big Democratic bill as "inflation ary" and "extravagant." The subcommittee is holding hear ings before deciding whether to try to overturn the veto or to draft a less expensive substitute. Mayors and other munici pal officials last wek urged Congress to override the veto. Some sensators, including two Republicans, criticized the President's veto message as misleading. In earlier letters to each senator and House members, Meany urged the lawmakers rally the two-thirds majority needed to upset the veto. -w7a walk, op ISLAND WINDOW to 6-h- sr. it fW jj FROMT ST.
