Newly Elected Mayors Inaugurated Across Arkansas
Arkansas cities held inaugurations Monday night for newly elected mayors who won without opposition in many races after a formal municipal general election. Hot Springs mayor Floyd A. Housley urged council opposition to removing radio station KTHS, with transfer tentatively approved to West Memphis by the FCC. Housley succeeded Earl Ricks, who did not seek re election. The Amesiane caves remark appears unrelated.

Graziano to Return as Boxing Ban Lifts This Summer
New York April 12 The National Boxing Association prepared to lift its ban on Rocky Graziano the former middleweight champion. The NBA could lift automatically once the California Athletic Commission rescinds its ban. Graziano paid promoter Jimmy Murray 7200 for expenses after a bout cancellation in Oakland last December. Foster has been offered 10000 to meet Graziano in an outdoor ring this summer with discussions in Jersey City Roosevelt Stadium. If New York lifts the suspension the bout could be staged in New York Pain Grounds. Graziano last fought June 10 1948 losing the middleweight crown to Tony Zale by knockout in Chicago.
