Guy Chamberlin to Football Hall of Fame Burial Argued Wife Wants Miami; Mom Favors Cuba New York (UPI) A family tug of war with political implications broke out Wednesday over the remains of boxer Benny (Kid) Paret, who died Tuesday from injuries suffered in a welterweight title fight Mar. 24. While the widow Lucy maintained that he definitely will be buried in Miami, on Friday, mother, Mrs. Maxima Crespo, hoped that she could take the body back to Santa Clara, Cuba for burial there. Adding to the family squabble was the revelation by Manager Manuel Alfaro that Paret had once told him he wanted to be buried in Cuba despite his hatred for Premier Fidel Castro.

Mrs. Paret said that body never go back to Cuba as long as Cuba is ruled by that man. My husband wiU be buried in Miami where I can visit his Mrs. Crespo, who was flotvn here last week but never had a chance to speak to her stricken son because he remained in a coma from the time of his knockout by Emile Griffith on Mar. 24 until his death early Tuesday, had an emotional, tearstained argument with Mrs.

Paret shortly after a death at Roosevelt Hospital. Although she restrained herself at the funeral parlor Tuesday night, a friend of the family said that the is far from indicating that Mrs. Crespo will make another try at having body shipped to Cuba. An attendant at the hospital said that Mrs. Crespo told her daughter-in-law Castro planned to give the boxer a huge state funeral in the event he died and his body was brought back to Havana for burial.

Mrs. Paret, according to the attendant, countered with: husband worked in the underground.

By Jack Andersen General Manager AI Swihart put his sign above the stables at Fonner Park early this week which forecasts another successful thoroughbred race meeting.

The 25-day program opening Thursday with a 3 p.m. post time will kick off summer season which will include 142 days of racing which come to a close Oct. at South Sioux Atokad track. Swihart reported there are over 600 horses housed at Fonner and nearby track stable facilities. The big thoroughbred invasion came over the weekend as training sessions came to a close in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Swihart reported track conditions as fast Wednesday. A revamped staff will be in charge of the Fonner program this year. James Wallace of Phoenix, is the new racing secretary. Wallace just concluded a tour of duty as assistant secretary at Turf Paradise. He has received national acclaim on having inaugurated a simplified method of writing race conditions.

Swihart noted that with the barns full and Wallace at the helm, there should be no trouble in filling the 8-race cards each day. The assistant racing retary this year for the first time will be Irving Anderson, a 1961 entry into 'The Lincoln Nebraska Sports Hall of Fame. Anderson, of Hoskins, has doubled thus far as a morning workout docker. Other officials on the scene include: Ralph Boomer, Nebraska State Racing Commission secretary; James Hall, presiding steward and identifier from Tucson, Jack Fickler, patrol and paddock judge of Omaha; John L. Watkins, associate steward of Lincoln; Robert Phillips, official starter of Phoenix and announcer Dean Williams, also of Tucson.

purse distribution this year will reach $192,000 and the minimum purse has been raised from $700 to $800, Swihart said.
