Anderson is slated to unveil his plat form when he speaks to an Anderson-forgovernor luncheon Friday noon at the Spokane hotel. Anderson announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor more than a month ago, but did not issue a statement of principles. The invitation for him to come here and announce his program was issued by his Spokane committee, headed by Attorney Arthur A. Lundin. Two thousand invitations to the luncheon were mailed yesterday afternoon to Republican party workers throughout the city and county.

Anderson Is expected to arrive from the Coast by plane Thursday afternoon. lie will confer with his committee Thursday evening and at an 8 a. m. Friday breakfast, said Lundin. Five volumes from the latest editions of three encyclopedias have been missing from their shelves in the Spokane public library's reference room for more than a week, Mrs.

Gladys Puckett, city librarian, said today. "This means," she said, "that these sets, which have a total value of about $600, have been ruined." The volumes have been missing since May 5, a Saturday which saw the library jammed with students, she said. "Actually, we had seven volumes missing at the end of that day," she said. "Two of them turned up again a few days later. But the other five have not reappeared and our efforts to locate them have been fruitless." Two of the missing volumes are from the latest edition of the Britannica set, she saidtwo from the Collier's encyclopedia and one from the Encyclopedia Americana.

"It's the and volumes that are missing from both the Britannica and Collier collections," she said. "The AI volume is out in the Americana set." Sometimes when a buyer decides to return a set, the publisher will break them up and sell volumes individually, Mrs. Puckett said. Should that happen, it may be possible to replace the missing volumes, she said. ectrr 1 ---tikin 1 eligns FA a ,4 41 .1 41: 1 Iff IVINk 4) S.

I asked him why I should be happy. "Ile said I was responsible for the crowd being so small. (About 1500 persons saw the fight.) He criticized me for reporting that Bobby 'ran from Jimmy Carter for 10 rounds at the Coliseum about a year ago. "Ile said that I was the only one who remembered that fight and that people had forgotten all about it. "lie told me to get out of the dressing room.

I refused to go and said it was part of my duty to be there. "Then he said: 'You just make one mistake and I'll own that I warned him not to threaten me. The next thing he hit me and knocked me back (against the dressing table), My glasses were broken. "I didn't get in a punch." Ile said Kaley Sonner, fight trainer who had been working in Bobby Woods' corner, immediately stepped in between him and Chuck Woods. Ile added that a verbal argument continued for a while but that no more blows were exchanged.

Johnson said he bore no ill will toward Bobby Woods. Woods Recalls Chuck Woods claimed that Johnson struck the first blow. "When he came into the dressing room," Woods said today, "he said he was glad he saw Bobby get a licking. "Naturally I got tough with him. I told him he was a helluva newspaper man, talking like that.

Johnson then took a swing at me. He swung twice and missed both times. "I swung and hit him two or three times, and he started begging me to leave him alone, so turned him loose." Chuck Woods claimed there would have been "quite a crowd" for the Tague-Woods fight "if it hadn't been for Bob Johnson and his poison typewriter," Sonner gave this version of the incident: "Bob and I walked into the dressing room. Chuck started chewing Bob out for writing articles on the fight. "Then this guy (Chuck Woods) belts Bob.

The next thing Bob is leaning up against the dressing table. I don't think he even got a chance to hit a blow. "1 told Kirk Barrow (an amateur fighter standing near by) to help me separate them. Kirk picked Chuck up and set him aside. I pushed Bob back.

"As far as that stuff about Bob asking Chuck to lay offChuck is full of baloney." Barrow said he didn't see who started swinging first. Matchmaker Tex Hager said he talked with Chuck Woods after the incident. "I told him it was highly re-gettable, that he should know better, that the display of temper on his part certainly hadn't done the fight game any good," Hager said. Johnson wrote several articles before the Tague-Woods fight. In an article yesterday Johnson said the match would be a "big fight for Woods, who has won 10 of his 14 previous appearances here and has the distinction of not having been stopped in a Spokane ring." He asserted that Woods "got into disfavor with the local ing populace when he ran from Jimmy Carter for 10 rounds at the Coliseum a year ago last STUDENT WINS STUDY AWARD Civilian Defense M'DERMOTT COMING State Representative Donald F.
