THE TERRE HAUTE STAR, MONDAY, JULY 3, 1961. II Johnson Assumes Position as Fresh Heavy Contender BY MURRAY ROSE ATLANTIC CITY, N. July wasn't a bold, spectacular advance, but just the same, N. B. A.

light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson will have to be reckoned among the top heavyweight contenders today. The 32-year-old Philadelphian edged Eddie Machen, the No. 2 heavyweight contender from Portland, in a of left jabs at Convention Hall Saturday night. Referee Paul Cavalier, the sole official, awarded the verdict to Johnson by a 5-41 score in rounds. THIS HAS TO make Johnson a leading heavyweight contender.

All it will get him immediately, however, is a return fight with Macben although manager Pat Oliveri spoke yearningly of getting fights with Sweden's Ingemar Johnansson and heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. Ingo appears headed for a lucrative scrap with Archie Moore, the light heavyweight champion in New York, Massachusetts and Europe. Patterson seems set for a September defense against young Tom McNeeley in Boston. Johnson agreed to give Machen a return bout within 40 days if he won and today he said he would go through with it. Manager Oliveri said he preferred Philadelphia as the site while Machen said he hoped it would be in San Francisco.

THE VICTORY was Johnson's fifteenth straight in a span and made his record 66-8. Machen's record is 37-4-1. The Portland, Machen, who always seems to lose the big ones, blew any hopes he might have had for a heavyweight title shot. The fight followed form. Both are good boxers with fine left jabs.

It was a neat exhibition of the manly art for the first eight rounds, but the fans couldn't care less. They booed until the gladiators opened up. Johnson's superior left was the difference. He threw more and landed more. Johnson was cut over the right eye in the fifth round and he said it bothered him in the closing rounds.

He also complained that his left shoulder hurt from the fifth round on. MACHEN WAS thumbed in the right eye near the end of the fifth round. "It gave me double vision," said Machen. "I was bothered by it for the rest of the night. If wasn't for that I'm sure I would have set him up.

I thought I won anyway. I don't think the thumbing was intentional." "I thought it was a punch," said Johnson. "If I did thumb him it was unintentional." Johnson weighted 181 pounds, the heaviest by one pound of his career. He thought it was too much and slowed him up. Machen scaled 193.

Johnson was the 8-5 favorite. THE AP CARD had Johnson "in front, seven rounds to three. A crowd of 3,942 paid $18,099 for the nationally telecast fight. Oliveri said both Patterson And No. 1 contender, Sonny Liston, have declined substantial offers to fight Johnson.

So now he said he was nursing faint hopes of getting Johansson even though Moore appears to have the edge with the Swede. Promoter Herman Taylor said he would cable Johansson a big offer to fight Johnson in Philadelphia in September. Oliveri said Johnson also would be happy to fight Ingo in Sweden. THE MANAGER said Johnson had been offered $10,000 to defend the 175-pound crown against Eddie Cotton of Seattle in Seattle and also had received a feeler to CASH FAST) 4 CONVENIENT OFFICES: 17 SOUTH 4TH ST.

Oliveri said the Cotton offe wasn't enough and he would hav to get more details about th Risberg proposition. "Meanwhile, I'm going to kee; hollering for Patterson," saie Oliveri. "I tried to get the N. A.

McGuire Refuses Pro Coach Offer PHILADELPHIA, July Philadelphia newspaper re ported today that Frank Me Guire, basketball coach at University of North Carolina, ac cepted and then rejected for per sonal reasons an offer to coacl the Philadelphia Warriors of thi National Basketball Association But Warrior owner Ed Gottlieb said'McGuire never made a-com mitment.

James Heffernan of the Phil adelphia Bulleting reported tha McGuire, Gottlieb and the own er's attorney, Isaac Richman, me for two hours last Wednesday a Monticello, N. during a coaches clinic. The report said McGuire agreec to terms of a three-year contrac but 24 hours later decided to remain at North Carolina when he still has two years remaining of a five-year contract. The report said that McGuire changed his mind because he evidently felt that the N. B.

A schedule would deprive him much time with his two daugh ters and a 10-year-old son, who is a victim of cerebral palsy. Me Guire spends as much of his free time as possible with the boy, the report said. Another reason cited was that McGuire is reluctant to leave North Carolina at this time because of the recent basketball scandals which touched the university. Gottlieb has been questioning coaches in search of a replacement for Neil Johnson who resigned. Bicknell Diamondmen Beat Boys'Club, 10-1 Gary Austin and Gordon Bunk- erly combined their pitching talents yesterday at Spencer Field and led the Bicknell Braves to a no-hit, 10 to 1, victory over the Terre Haute Boys' Club.

He hit two batters, walked one and then uncorked a wild pitch in the first inning as the Boys' Club took a 1 to 0 lead. Dunkerly relieved in the sixth and struck out seven in an excellent mop-up job.

Downhill Lies BY BOB ROSBURG The downhill lie, in which th right foot is higher than the left is probably the most difficult all hillside lies to play.

This position naturally tends to put too much weight on thi right foot. To compensate, play the ball more off the right foot with the weight mostly- on thi left. Be careful not to over-swing A little more than a half back swing is best. Since the downhill lie tends nullify the loft of the club, use one or two clubs higher than you would for a similar shot from a flat lie. Shift laterally with the slope of the ground.

Other wise you will dig. The downhil lie will tend to make you slice so aim a bit to the left of th desired line. As I point out in my long-play ing record, Hear How to Play Golf, if the ball is below the level of feet, grip the club as long as possible to avoid topping Remain leaning toward the bal on the backswing. Play the ball off the left foot. This type of lie tends tq make you come across the ball to a degree, causing a slice, so aim a little to the left.

(UPI The economy will be strong in the second half of 1961 but high unemployment will persist, experts predicted here at the United States Chamber of Commerce's business outlook conference. With an eye on the Berlin Chamber president Richard Wagner warned that "the international political situation is not clearing up and could generate some hesitancy." HOWEVER, in summing up the panelists views, Wagner said the economy was about to climb to "new high ground, with expansion broadly shared by all major sectors." The experts supported the Kennedy administration forecast that the Gross National nation's total business would climb to a record annual rate of $530 billion by December, Several panelists cited, and none disputed, Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon's prediction of an 8 per cent leap in meaning a business boom.

THE PANELISTS confined their forecasts to the last six months of 1961. They foresaw increased auto production, some upward drift in interest rates, a strong steel output in October, November and December after the usual Summer lull, continued but not sensational strength in construction and a rise in capital investment late in the year. Wagner said the 1960-61 recession was mild and largely confined to inventory reduction. He said it "would have been largely unnoticed" except for the rise in unemployment "and the drastic decline in profits." Although business is likely toi continue to expand "well into next year longer," Wagner said, "unemployment remains a stubborn problem." HE SAID it was compounded by the increase in the minimum wage Higher payroll taxes for Social Security and "upward adjustments of wage-fringe costs." Wagner, an oil refining executive, said some business stemmed from the cold war. He added that "uncertainty over tax reform is delaying considerable new investment" in factories and machines, thereby holding back the business upturn.

Nixon Opposes Any Softening of U. S. Policy on Berlin NEW YORK, July Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon today called on the United States to remain firm on its position in Berlin. The former number two man in the United State government said it is "essential that President Kennedy shoot down any trial balloons, whether from legislative leaders or from allies abroad, indicating that our position' on Berlin will be compromised or softened." "THE PRESENT situation is that we are legally in Berlin and, if Mr.

Khrushchev makes a move, it will be he who will be making that move. The moment we indicate that we are going to weaken our position, it only means that he is going to make his demands even more difficult than they were, and that means a compromise which will be disastrous for us and for the whole free world," Nixon added. Nixon made his remarks on Berlin in a local radio interview. NIXON SUGGESTED further that the United States put Khrushchev "on notice that we will not be pushed around in Berlin as we were in Laos." He 'also deplored any sjigges- tion that the United States try to get along with Cuban Premier Fidel Castro. I think that there must be no policies on the part of the administration which -would try to get along with Castro," he said.

"I have noted some suggestions in the press from well- intentioned people who say 'Why doesn't President Kennedy invite Castro to Washington?" "No greater mistake could be, made," Nixon said. U. A. W. Aims Its Demands at Top One of Big Three BY DWIGHT PITKIN DETROIT, July leat appeared to be on General Motors Corp.

M. its strike arget in event current bargain- ng talks on new contracts bog down before the Aug. 31 dead- ine. T'S PART of U. A.

W. President Walter P. Reuther's new strategy avoid putting price tags on union demands and to ask the auto companies to join the union finding answers to what Reu- her calls compelling human iroblems. The union defines these prob- ems as job security, unemployment, short work weeks and dis- ilacement of men by machines the auto industry. At the start of bargaining alks last week, the U.

A. W. appealed to G. M. as the auto industry's biggest corporation to ead the way in coming up with ome answers.

THE UNION singled out G. M. as the target for a barrage of luestions ranging from how to provide more jobs to how's the best way to put blue collar workers on yearly salaries. The same questions are being asked Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Corporation. But G.

M. being given the opportunity to answer them first. So far the auto makers have istened politely to U. A. W.

policy statements. They say their main concern is to keep down in- lationary pressures and prevent iroduction costs from getting out if hand. U. A. W.

leaders say hey are proposing nothing in- lationary. G. VICE president, Louis G. Seaton, who is directing negotia- ions for the company, promised come up with some proposals is soon as the union completes presentation of its case some ime this month. The auto companies say they ave as much interest as the nion in keeping workers happy Because company efficiency de- ends on the productivity of the mployes.

The 1958 contracts provided annual wage increase of six ents an hour, or 2Vz per cent, and also provided that wages go or down with the government ost of living index. The average ourly wage rate in the auto in- ustry is now $2.80 exclusive of ringe benefits which are estimated at 35 to 40 cents an hour. -f- THE U. A. W.

will fight to re- ain these provisions in new ontracts and at the same time ry to obtain.a higher wage increase on the theory that thej ation's growth in productivity' is greater than 2Vi per cent. Bargaining talks will resume Thursday at the Big Three. At the same the'U. A. W.

Army PFC Alfred L. Kent, 23, whose wife, Shirley, lives at 951 Lancaster street, Leominster, is scheduled to depart Fort Benning, July 16, for Korea with other personnel from the 2d Division's 2d Battle Group, 1st Infantry. The move is being made under Operation OVUREP, the Army's Overseas Unit Replacement Program. Under this program the First Infantry will become the Thirty- second Infantry of the Seventh Division upon arrival in Korea. Operation OVERUP is designed to provide infantry replacements for units in Korea on a unit exchange basis at battle group level.

Kent's unit has received over eight months of intensive training in preparation for its forthcoming 13-month tour of duty in Korea. The Seventh is one of two highly trained United States Army combat divisions which have remained in Korea since the Korean War as part of the United Nations forces maintain- in a shield of defense against aggression.

Theater-Restaurant NEW YORK John Krimsky is launching a new category of activity, midway between the commercial White Way and the experimental little playhouse. "There is a marginal show too small for Broadway because of production cost that would be too big for off-Broadway from, an economic standpoint," he says. Krimsky's solution is the Strollers Theater Club, which has taken over the premises of a night club.

Two-hour shows are planned for the theater-restaurant. "With theater admission combined with revenue from food and drink," Krimsky notes, "we can support a medium-sized musical on the basis of production cost and operating overhead." Chiseled Correction BALTIMORE One of the Boldest errors in Baltimore is preserved in a year-old stone tablet in the yard of the Otterbein Cmuch of the United Brethren in Christ. In German, the stone records June 4, 1726, as the birth date of Bishop Wilhelm Otterfiein, the founder. Bishop Otterbein actually was born June 3, 1726. The date came from an ordination certificate unaccountably wrong.

The error is corrected, in English, on a newer stone memorial in stalled in the yard in 1913.
