Charles Scores Decisive Win Against Brion NEW YORK, UP — Ex-cham-pion Ezzard Charles, impressive in a lop-sided victory over heavyweight Cesar Brion, probably will meet veteran Jimmy Bivins as hia next come-back opponent. i Ezzard displayed new aggressiveness Friday night as he won a unanimous* 10-round decision over the Argentine “Iron Man’* before 6,758 in Madison Square Garden. He gave Brion a tbprough beating but could not knock him out. . i Brion, six years younger an| 10 1-4 pounds heavier! than Chiles was on rubber legs in the fjrst, second, eighth, ninth and 10th rounds; but he would not go down. The 25-year-old South American has never been stopped in 47 pro< fesslonal fights. [ BVion, scaling 196 3-4 pounds to Charles’ 186 1-2, threatened only the third session when his body attach nearly jackknifed the 3b year-old ex-champion. Cesar had slight edge in the furious fourth, and he was given the eighth on a foul because of low blows. Charles, favored at 6-1, gashed Brion’s left cheek deeply with a straight right -in the first round, and he re-dpened an old cut beneath’ CesaFs chin in the sixth. At the finish, Brion’s left cheek was swollen like a balloon. ; Co-managers Tom Tannas and 'Jake Mintz said Charles had been offered fights with Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland in four cities; San Francisco, Detroit, St. Louis and Cleveland. Bivins, who lost three of four previous bouts with Charles. is now on a coine-back campaign, which was spiced by recent victories over Coley Wallace and Wes ‘‘We’d like to fight Rex Layne in a return bout, too,” said Mintz. “But if Layne is afraid to get into the ring again with Ezzard, that’s okay with us.” Layne won a widely disputed decision ovet Charles' at Ogden, Utah, last Aug. 8. Brion credited Charles with being one of the best fighters he ever met; but said he could have done better against Ezzard if he had been “sharp.” He said he hadn’t had a real fight since last March. The tall South American did more bobbing and weaving than Usual Friday night. And he caused , Charles to miss a surprising num- ! ber of punches. Meanwhile, Et-1 zard fought from a more upright stance than usual; and he was much more aggressive than in the past. Each of the three ring officials gave him seven rounds, as did\ the United Press. The gross gate for the nationally* televised fight was $17,695. , \

In addition, they said, meat—which showed, a slight price decline last month—probably is contihuihg a downward seasonal decline. But the economists did not think the downward trend in sonip food and meat prices was enough to set off a general decline in the cost of living. They pointed out that some fresh fruits. and vegetables already have started a seasonal price rise and that prices of apparel, consumer durables and rents have shown signs of further rises.

Says Soviet Airmen Fighting In Korea Belief Is Stated By Air Force Chief NEW YORK? (UP)— Dwight D. sEMsehhower and; Adlaf E. Stevenson have joined in praising the United Nations as' the best hope for world beace. In speeches broadcast pverl the Columbia Broadcasting , System Friday night, the Republican and Democratic presidential hominees [asked Americans to have faith in the UN. despite its defects. The programs was sponsored by the ’ National Citizens’ Committee for !U. N. Day. j Eisenhower praised the U.N. for : moving; quickly to the aid of Ko- [ rea when the Communists attacked and said, ’’Neither then nor i any other time of trial could the United Nations be asked to do more than this; to remind lovers of freedom to be «eady to defend H.” “The United Nations organization is both the symbol and the guardian of that hope of freedom and of world peace,” Eisenhower said. “Like any ®yml>ol it is an imperfect image pf the ideal. At , times it seems to. all of us to be divided ip its counsels, confused tn its performance, at times a rather bewildering babble. Yet—'(a all of this—it merely reflects faithfully the confusions and anxieties of all free peoples —as they struggle to stay free.” [ ' Stevenson pointed out that the ! V. N. is a living thing which "we want to become what is was intended to her—a world society of nations under law, not merely law backed by force, r but law backed bjr justice and b°P ular consent. We -believe the Answer to iVorld War'can only be world law.” Thet Democratic candidate said the early ybars: of the U.N. had been difficult ones — “but what did we etpectV !
