Louis Prompts Patterson To Squawk Over Referee BY OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK. May Patterson will object to Ruby Goldstein as the third man in the ring in his rematch with heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson. Joe Louis said today, because the referee "lost control" of their first bout.

"Patterson won't allow Goldstein to be the referee," Louis asserted, because he did such a bad job the first time."

How much more it will pay was a matter of- conjecture. Estimates given the joint legislative audit committee ranged from S60.000 to 000 more needed to pay bills incurred in staging the games at Squaw Valley in February. The Legislature appropriated $9,000.000 for nine- day event, including an emergency $1.000,000 appropriation in January which Olympic officials then said would meet all possisble debts.

But H. D. Thoreau. chairman of the games organizing committee, said he expected a deficit of $60,000. That could be taken care of, he said, by selling 560,000 worth of equipment at the games site, or by turning the equipment over to the state beaches and parks division for $60,000 in credit.
