Robinson, 37, turned the tables on game, 30-year-old Carmen, who had taken the 160-pound crown from him on another split decision at New York's Yankee Stadium last Sept. 23. That September fight was the fight of the year for 1937 and unquestionably tonight's magnificent battle will be the fight of the year for 1958.

In taking these steps, the tion veered farther away from using tax reduction as a means of stimulating the economy.

Mr. Eisenhower sent a special message to Congress calling for a 50 percent extension of the period in which the unemployed may draw jobless benefits.

The locomotive shop in Readville is shipping its machinery to the New Haven shops, which will take over the work. Union spokesmen say they are advised that the Readville shop will be closed in less than two months. Word of the closing came yesterday from John Gaharin of the railroad's main office in New Haven, according to Harold White, chairman of the Carmen's Committee of the union. Twentysix men In the car' shop have been given dismissal notices effective this Friday, said one union spokesman. The remainder are scheduled to receive their notices within 30 days, or as soon as the current work is completed, it was said.

John E. Powers (Boston), asserted: "To say wa should reduce the tax on individual incomes by 40 percent is incredible."

The place to cut is in the budget, Powers said. INCOME TAX Page Twenty-sxx ing rail freight parity differential were eliminated. During a hearing before FCC Examiner Marion Boat, Joseph L. Stanton, executive director of the Maryland Port Authority, said that the removal of the differential would boost port shipments through Boston.

As an example, he pointed to recent large shipments through, Boston which took place because the differential in Boston's higher rate was absorbed by the Federal government because of special circumstances. M. M. Mora, general manager of the Norfolk Port Authority, fo'lowed Stanton to the stand. He testified that Boston has the same need for the lower Baltimore rates as has the port of Norfolk.

The Advisory Council to the Port of Boston, in a report made to Gov. Furrolo and turned over to the ICC today, chJrged that unfairness in freight rates which prevents Boston from competing with Southern ports is the "single greatest factor" for a lack of volume in the Hub port.

KEBLINSKY The Massachusetts Port Authority must live up to its agreement to build a second crossing to East Boston, or the sale of Sumner Tunnel will be renegotiated, Mayor Hynes said yesterday. It was under these terms that the city agreed to sell the highly profitable tunnel to the Massachusetts Port Authority in July, 1956, for $15 million, rather than go in debt for $30 million to build a vitally-needed second crtssing, the mayor added. Outlining the city's position in a letter to Joseph J. Mul- hern, chairman of the state Air- port Management Board, Hynes said passage of House Bill 1504 would make it mandatory for the Authority to construct the additional crossing, "a condition precedent to the Authority's arnuisitinn of the Sumnpr Tunnel and also of the Mystic Kiver Bridge. The bill also would compel the Authority to pay the city 3 percent interest from Dec.

31, 1956, on $7,919,380 which the Authority was to have paid for the city's equity in the 'tunnel. The city appropriated this sum as expected revenue in 1956.

Step by step he went through the charges brought against him by ousted chief counsel Bernard Schwartz in a secret memorandum since made public. He testified that he collected government per diem on trips to television industry conven- tions at which his hotel bills for lodging were paid by the indus- try. But he said this was in line with a 1954 ruling of the Comptroller General." He said he received $192 irom govern ment and $265 from industry.

Since that time, Comptroller General Joseph Campbell told the Special House subcommittee on Legislative Oversight that it was improper for a government employee to collect per diem when expenses are paid in full or in part from out side sources. rcc Page Four i Cl-s UTCOlO 10 UlUC FconOfTlV DpCCCll JT-Vf AlnnnnV iriUllUUV a ioint session of the House and Senate will be convened Monday at 2:05 p.m. to hear a special message by Gov.
