They sought refuge from thp rain beneath the unburned tail section. One shouted to officials: “No one’s alive in there.

Approves Dissolving Os Boxing Monopoly U.S. Supreme Court Approves Judgment WASHINGTON (UPD-The Supreme Court today approved a lower court antitrust judgment against the International Boxing clubs which ordered the monopoly dissolved. The IBC operates mainly in New York and Chicago. It has arenas in those two cities. The vote sustaining the decree in its entirety was 5-3, with Justice Tom C. Clark speaking for the majority. Justice Potter Stewart, new on the bench this term, did not participate. Three justices thought part of the decree against the clubs should have been set aside. They were Justices John M. Harlan, Felix Frankfurter and Charles E. Whittaker. Clark said if some of the antimonopoly moves that have been ordered prove “so severe as to require modification”, the IBC can apply to the District Court later for a softening of the decree. The opinion held tbat the clubs have monopolized championship bouts, which Clark called the “ ‘creak’ of the boxing business.” He termed this a violation of the Sherman antitrust law. the the Irifi’Tnational Boxing Clubs of York and Chicago; the Madison Square Garden Corp.; IBC President James D. Norris and IBC Director Arthur M. Wirtz, both of Chicago. They appealed to the Supreme Court after Federal District Judge Sylvester J. Ryan of New York ruled against them on July 2. 1957. He found the violations in the interlocking ownership and control of theOtubs and stadiums, which kept other promoters from putting on championship bouts. According to the government’s charges, former heavyweight champion Joe Louis figured prominently in establishing the conspiracy. He was not a defendant, however. Mikoyan Visiting U.S. Movie Studio Suggests Troops In Germany Withdrawn By JOHN KENDALL United Press International LOS ANGELES <UP I’—Soviet Deputy Premier' Anastas I. Miko-yan-takes time put today in his goodwill tour to visit a movie studio. Sunday night, in a discussion of cold war issues he catied for a mutual withdrawal of U.S. and Russian troops from Germany. “If the West does not want tc withdraw all its men at Mice,” Mikoyan said, “perhaps it could withdraw one third at first, and subsequently withdraw others in stages.” He will tour Paramount Studios today where a reception will be held for him after a visit to the campus of the University of California at Los Angeles and a luncheon as guest of the World Affairs Council. Mikoyan’s three-day visit to Los Angeles began Sunday. His plane was prevented from landing at International Airport because of heavy fog and had to make an unscheduled landing at Lockheed Air Terminal in Burbank, about 25 miles aaay. Demonstrators, armed with eggs, placards, and at least one sling shot, were left without enough time to travel to the other airport to meet Mikoyan and his party. The only other known attempt to demansortte against the high Soviet official occurred outside the Beverly Hills Hotel Sunday night where Mikoyan was given a dinner by Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. Two men identified as Zoltan Laszlo, 20. and Miklos Laborczy, 29, threw eggs at the hotel entrance when Mikoyan arrived and were arrested on a charge of disorderly CMIdUCt. It appeared that Mikoyan was unaware of the egg-throwing incident. Mikoyan’s first day here was a ‘far cry from his reception in San Francisco where he was greeted by an angry egg-throwing crowd at the airport, Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown of California publicly apologized to Mikoyan.

Four Os Top College Teams Play Tonight By FBED DOWN United Press International Kentucky, nearing its 600th victory under Coach Adolph Rupp, "and three of the nation’s other top 20 teams see action tonight in a college basketball schedule that also includes three important Big Ten games. Kentucky’s Wildcats, surprised by Vanderbilt last week, rebounded Saturday night with a 76-61 win over Louisiana State and will be trying to regain still more of their national prestige tonight against Tulane. A victory would move Kentucky into a secondplace tie with Georgia iff the Southeastern Conference provided Vanderbilt beats Mississippi State. Kentucky’s romp over LSU increased its season record to 12-1 and marked the 596th win of Rupp’s 29-year career. Rupp can reach the magic 600-mark by Jan. 29 if the Wildcats beat their next four Southeastern Conference foes - Tulane, Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Georgia.

Victories by Illinois, Indiana and Michigan would create a threeway tie for first place in the al-ready-confused circuit. This week's action also includes a showdown battle Wednesday night between the Atlantic Coast Conference’s top teams — secondranked North Carolina State (11-1) and fourth-ranked North. Carolina (9-1). State is 5-0 in league play after Saturday's 67-60 win over Duke while North Carolina is 4-0. Only One Upset Indiana’s 76 - 69 victory over seventh-ranked Northwestern produced the only upset o( a team among the top 10 Saturday as most of the national powers won with ease.
