CORNISH Washington - (UPI) - C o n grcssionHl Investigators are digging into reports of alleged payola payments of boxing promoters and managers to newspaper sportwriters, it was learned Saturday. The Senate antitrust and monopoly sub committee headed by Sen. Estes Kefau vcr (D-Tenn.) confirmed in answer to questions by United Press International that the inquiry was under way. The disclosure came as the result of persistent rumors within the fight game. A subcommittee spokesman told UPI that Senate investi gators had received reports indicating many of the payola payments were substantial and perhaps even common in a number of big fight cities across the nation.. But he said no official verl. ficatlon of this could be made until further investigation. Kefauver's subcommittee is now conducting a broad in. quiry into boxing, including fixed fights and whether un derworld elements have tried to maintain monopoly control over the sport. Sources outside the Senate group said boxing payola to sports writers was an old but little - talked about practice and could run as high $250,000 a year on a national scale, lhis would be about 5 per cent of last year's total ad missions gate. They said the purpose of the payola was to "encourage" frequent and prominent men. tion of bouts and fighters in the press to whip up public enthusiasm. In New York, Harry Mark son, who runs Madison Square Garden boxing, declined to comment when asked if Ko f a u v e r ' s investigators had sought information on boxing payola from his organization Truman Gibson, head of Na tional Boxing Enterprises in Chicago, said he was unaware of the probe. But it was known that the subcommittee is gather I n g names and figures from sev eral top promoters and man agers. BASEBALL AWARDS New York - ll'PIl - Stan Mu- sial. Branch Rickey and James A.

The El Monte, Calif., race driver was confined in Boul der City hospital with a frac tured vertebra suffered Sun day when he tested a speed boat on Lake Mead. The up and down motion of the boat as it bounced over small waves at 75 miles an hour caused the back injury, technically known as a com pression fracture of the lum bar vertebra, and left his legs paralyzed. "We'll just have to wait and see," said Dr. John Con nelly about whether the pa ralysis would be permanent. He said it might be merely "spinal shock" and temporary. We should know witnin about 48 hours," a spokesman said. Thompson, who drove a rec ord 406 miles an hour on one way of the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, course in his hand-built car recently, was testing a boat designed for water drag racing when the accident occurred. Exhibition His test of the boat came as an exhibition at the Lake Mead Challenge cup hydro plane championships. Thompson during the sum mer had hoped to beat the 394 mile an hour world land record held by John Cobb. He appeared on his way to bettering the mark when he clocked 406 on the one lap, but his four-engined vehicle broke down and he was un able to make the return run. In the only spill of the day at Lake Mead, Harvey Stuska of Denver flipped his 48-cubic inch hydroplane. Ironically, he suffered only minor leg cuts while Thompson suffered h i s serious injury without even flipping his boat. Chuck Lyford, Seattle, won the 7-litcr division.

This means special lubrication, antifreeze, and general readiness for the different driving conditons. One of the very important things to remember is the condition of your tires.

We have in our warehouse, thousands of premium quality retreads in both the highway and the traction design. These are the very modern "dual radius" tread, and guaranteed against any failure for the life of the tread. This even includes road hazards. To help you prepare for safer winter driving, we are offering the second recap at Vi PRICE. For example if you buy one (670-15) at the regular exchange price of $14.00, you will receive the SECOND ONE FOR ONLY $7.00 plus your recappable casing. All taxes, mounting, and even wheel balancing, are included in this special price. Naturally, ALL OTHER SIZES REFLECT COMPARABLE SAVINGS.
