Teamsters official Sid Cohen, secretary of 208, told the committee that Lugash had been planinng to sell his business at the time of the organizing efforts. He denied that Lugash was forced to sell. He got a "pretty penny” when he sold, Cohen said. Asked by committee members Reps. James Roosevelt, D-Calif., and Edgar W. Hiestand, R-Calls., about possible labor legislation, Cohen said. "I am quite sure the teamsters local here, or any other union, can effectively police their own affairs.” 1 Nearly a dozen witnesses appeared before the committee during its opening session. The committee hoped to gather information for use in future legislative bills concerning labor and business. __ ' . Over ?..&uu Daily *.tmocrats art sold and delivered In Decatui each day. '

To Keep Heavy Title Bout In New York City NEW YORK (UPD — Promoter Bill Rosensohn sought an out-of-court settlement today for the Eddie Machen return-bout suit, apparently the last possible barrier to the Floyd Patterson-Inge-mar Johansson fight. Rosensohn chartered a plane and ordered challenger Johansson to fly into New York today for a settlement huddle. The promoter made that move immediately after— Cus D‘Amato’s announcement that the big fight would not be shifted to another city ’ D'Amato, Patterson’s manager, announced formally Thursday night that the champion would go through with his defense against Sweden’s unbeaten Johansson at Yankee Stadium, June 25, as scheduled.. Previously D’Amoto had considered a shift. Wants Return Match Johansson, champion of Europe, was reluctant to interrupt his training schedule by coming to New York today for the conference with attorneys and a federal judge. Accordingly Rosensohn chartered the plane for quick travel from Ingemar’s camp, at Grossinger, N. Y., and back again. Contender Machen of Redding, Calif., is suing Johansson in federal court and trying to restrain him from challenging for the title before granting Machen a return bout. Ingemar amazed the boxing world last Sept. 14 by knocking out Machen—then top contenderin the first round at Goteborg, Sweden. That remarkable victory made Johansson the title challenger. Says Ahlqvist “Advisor” Bit Machen and Manager Syd Flaherty have a return-bout agreement signed by Edwin Ahlqvist Goteborg fight promoter and magazine publisher—is only his“advisor” and not his manager; and that he had no authority to sign the return-bout agreement. Papa Jens Johansson is his manager. Ingemar explains. Rosensohn was attempting an out-of-court settlement today because the suit is scheduled to go to trial next Monday before Federal Judge John M. Cashin. The trial certainly would mar Ingie’s training, at least.
