Army Backs Sports Program in Controversy Over Favoritism
The Army defended its broad sports program before a House Armed Services subcommittee, saying big post games boost morale, while some members argued about possible preferential treatment for top athletes. Brig. Gen. Herbert P. Powell warned violations could lead to reprimands or court martial, with hearings to continue. The 10 athletes named include Dick Brodowski, Sandy Saddler, Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Mays, Whitey Ford and others. The panel moved to open the hearings to the public, offering transit and testimony options for the athletes.

Prosecutor Denies Fights Investigation
NEW YORK May 5 District Attorney Frank Hogan’s office denied a New York Post report that it was investigating three boxing matches fixed by gamblers. The Post cited two Brooklyn fights and one at Madison Square Garden. Hogan’s spokesman said no such investigation exists and that the office had only met with Athletic Commission Chairman Bob Christenberry long ago, yielding nothing warranting action. The Commission confirmed a meeting and says it maintains scrutiny of matters under its jurisdiction.
