Floyd Patterson successfully defended his world heavyweight champion-chip for the second time tonight, knocking out amateur Tele Kademachcr In 2:57 of the sixth round. The fight started soon after 1 a.m. Louisville time. The referee and sole judge was Tommy Loughran, former world lighthcavy champion. Patterson weighed 187 his heaviest since he became champion.

Rademacher, the Olympic champion making his first professional start, weighed 202. The fight by rounds follows: ROUND ONE Itadcmachcr moved in, backing Patterson away, hut neither landed a blow immediately. Patterson made one lunge which Itadcmachcr easily eluded. Rademacher landed a long left hoolc which Patterson partially deflected with his right glove. Burly Pete bulled Patterson into the ropes, but the champion clipped away and threw one of his leaping punches which was khort of Bademachcr's chin.

They were sparring, the cham- Cion occasionally leaping in on is challenger hut still unable to find a target. Rademacher, nrim-fared and tense as the round began, in comparison with the chamDion'i ealmneis. seemed to relax a bit as the round progressed. The round appeared even. ROIND TWO ratterson eluded Rademach- er's straight lefts, and was fight- ing out of a crouch.

Rademacher drew a round of applause with a left that whistled past the chin, and in a fast exchange Floyd landed a hard right to the challenger's jaw. Rademacher landed sharply with a right, and Patterson went dow n. Referee Loughran ruled it no knockdown. Rademacher awirmed to the attack and Floyd Aitoc i.l.d Prtt Wlr.phot LULL BEFORE STORM Champion Floyd Patter-son and challenger Pete Rademacher shook hands as they met in Seattle for weigh-in for last night's heavyweight-title fight. Fatterson, 22 years old, weighed 187, Rademacher, 28-year-old fighter, scaled 202.

inside China were described as the reason for the Secretary's action. Behind this official explanation the consensus was that the State Department had been forced to yield by public pressures and that it was trying to retreat as gracefully as possible. The big unanswered question was whether the Peiping regime would now issue visas. Tho State Department has made no soundings to determine whether Pei-ping will permit correspondents to report from China on a per mancnt basis. Photographers Not Included A Reuters report from Tci-ping last April stated, however, that the Communists would probably permit U.

S. newsmen to enter for limited stays. There is no information about Pciping's attitude toward coverage on tha scale permitted by the Stat Department ruling. This would permit newspapers, news syndicates, the major wiro agencies, radio-television net. works, and magazines to woilj on the China mainland.

At this stage each organization would he permitted to send only one reporter.

The personable, energetic Spragens will be the youngest president the 138-year-old college at Danville, ever has had. During Spragens' tenure at Stephens, the school gained wide notice in educational circles by its use of closed-circuit television as a classroom aid, and other educational innovations. Was Aide at Stanford Spragens has been president of Stephens for five years. Ho previously served as the first secretary and treasurer of the Ford Foundation's Fund for the Advancement of Education, which was founded early in 1951. Before that he was for six years assistant to the president of Stanford University, near Palo Alto, Cal.

Spragens grew up in Lebanon and was graduated from Lebanon High School in 1P34. In 1338 he was graduated from the University of Kentucky, where he majored in economics. His bachelor-of-arts degree from U. K. is his only r.cademic degree.

However, Spragens also studied in the Graduate School of Syracuse University in 1333-40 as a Maxwell fellow in public administration. Served In Budget Rureau He was a research assistant in the Kentucky Department of Revenue at Frankfort in 1938-39. After serving in 194041 as administrative analyst of the United States IUircau of the Budget, he returned to Ken tucky as an administrative assistant to then Kentucky Commissioner of Revenue Clyde Reeves. He was appointed senior analyst of the Budget Bureau in 1342 and assistant chief of food allocations of the wartime For-eicn Economic Administration in 1943. Reeves, who served as assistant to Spragens at Stephens for two years said, "Tom is absolutely a top fellow.

He's a good educator, and excellent administrator, and a drlithtful person." (Reeves is now Kentucky Stale Fairgrounds director.) Thinks Centre's Future Rrlnht Spragens said yesterday that "it a bit early to speak in very specific trrms'' about his aims for Centre. "My decision to go there is bated on my very firm conviction that the future of the college as a liberal, general education institution is a very bright futiue." Spragens con tinned.

Pace 10, this section tinad -aT" Revise State Vehicle Laws, Sturgill Asks Tull Liability UrjtcMl Tor Drivers Umler 18 By PAUL R. JORDAV Attociit.d Pratt Wril.r Frankfort, Aug. 22. Public Safety Commissioner Don Sturgill Thursday recommended for study a drastic overhauling of Kentucky's motor-vehicle laws, including an amendment that would allow conviction of drivers under 18. In his proposals to the Legislative Jicsearch Commission, Sturgill pointed out that the present Youth Authority Act prohibits the conviction of driv-ers under 18 who violate traffic laws.

He said Welfare Commissioner Charles Allphin agrees the act should be amended so that all persons, regardless of age, can be convicted for violating laws that pertain to the driving of automobiles. Sturgill said: 'Our contenlio-. it that if a person is old nouah to drive, he is old enough to answer in a court of law for his driving violations." Further Recommendation He also recommended that the commission study the possibility of raising the minimum driver's age from 16 to 17 and adopting a uniform title law that would centralize issuance of vehicle and operator's lirenses. The Public Safety Department would take over from County Court clerks the job of issuing the licenses, but only after the clerks collected the fees and forwarded applications to the department, Sturgill said. 15y issuing vehicle licenses in this manntr, he added, the car owner would have clear title at a central point and "it would eliminate the possibility of stolen cars being sold and materially reduce insurance rates." Mould Reduce Task In the cine of operator's licenses, they would be issued every two years in the birth month of applicant.

This would greatly reduce the staggering number of licenses to be processed during a 45-day period each year, Sturgill said. And by issuing every 'driver a permanent number (instead of changing it every six years as now his "driving record can be properly maintained throughout his entire the com-missioner said. The proposal to raise the driving age would require the applicant to obtain a permit and u-e it for month In-fore taking the final driver's license te-t. If adopted by the research commission, SturgiH's recom. mendations would be submitted to the Legislature next jear for approval.

of evidence that he plotted Johnny Dio. "A most convenient forget-tery," Senator Ives X. scornfully called it. But Hoffa, at the end of three days' questioning by the rackets-investigation committee, was still tough and resourceful. Ho had at least a partial explanation of a hole-card surprise charge sprung late Thursday by counsel Robert Kennedy.

Kennedy said Hoffa was busily try mg to get Dio into the Teamsters Union in at the same time Dio was under indictment on charges that he took an SIl.WH) payoff to keep a union out of a Pennsylvania factory. Didn't Know, Hoffa- Says Kennedy said the charge, printed in the newspapers at the time, was that Dio had accepted an $11,000 payment from the employer involved, but had failed to include it on his income-tax return. 1 lof fa's explanation was that he knew Dio was facing an income-tax charge, but knew nothing about any sums allegedly paid to Dio for wulk against unionization.
