J., finish off the British fighter with a devastating attack in the fourth. Savold strong and rugged, followed a fighting plan which surprised the crowd. Right from the start he stalked the British champion around the ring and took a lot of right hand punches in a bid to get in close and jab and hook with both hands. Lee was pretty fit and tough and in the third-round jabbed Bruce viciously in the face and caused blood to pour from the Briton's nose. As they came up for the fourth Savold walked in close with his guard down, side-stepped a punch and landed two left jabs to Woodcock's face. Woodcock's left eye was a gory mess with a deep cut over it. Just at the bell Savold ripped in two more punches to the face, one of which landed smack on Bruce's cut and blood poured from the wound. The boys walked to their corners and one of Woodcock's handlers threw a towel into the ring. His manager Tom Hurst, shouted "Pick that up," then called over Referee Andrew Smyth, who told the master of ceremonies to announce Woodcock would not appear for the fifth round.

At the same time, Senate Democratic Leader Lucas (Ill.) told reporters he doubts Congress can pass finally on a tax bill unless the members are willing to stay here until October. "I am not one of those who wants to stay until October," Lucas added. He said he will consult Republican leaders tomorrow and try to work out a legislative schedule calling for adjournment by July 31. Before the House committee approved its bill, it: 1. Reversed itself and decided to kill a $75,000,000 a year tax it previously had voted upon mutual savings banks and building and loan associations. 2. Reverse a previous decision to eliminate the 20 per cent tax on light bulbs and tubes. This would prevent a $26,000,000 revenue loss.

(AP)—Thirty-seven survivors of a twin-engine plane which crashed into the Atlantic were rescued by a Navy destroyer today, and a merchant ship reported it had sighted the bodies of five other persons in the area. At noon, the merchant vessel Cape Ann radioed to Coast Guard headquarters in Miami that it had spotted the five bodies and was MIAMI, Fla. (AP)—Thirty-seven survivors of a twin-engine plane which crashed into the Atlantic were rescued by a Navy destroyer today, and a merchant ship reported it had sighted the bodies of five other persons in the area. At noon, the merchant vessel Cape Ann radioed to Coast Guard headquarters in Miami that it had spotted the five bodies and was standing by to await the arrival of the destroyer USS Saufley, from which rescue operations were being directed. This left 23 of the plane's occupants yet to be accounted for. The plane's pilot, co-pilot and stewardess were saved. Search planes reported there was "doubt" that any more survivors might be found. Destroyer to Scene Lt. Comdr. Hershell Sanders of St. Petersburg, just back from a flight over the rescue area, said that "not one of the 37 survivors was wearing a life jacket" when picked up from tossing life rafts. The survivors were rescued by the destroyer USS Saufley about 275 miles east Northeast of Miami. They were among persons aboard the Westair company-plane when it plunged into the sea. The destroyer informed Coast Guard headquarters in Miami that the survivors were "in good condition." The destroyer's message: "Recovered 37 survivors. Position 27 degrees 51 minutes north, 75 degrees 32 minutes West. All in rafts. Pilot believes remainder have life jackets. Continuing coordinate search with planes and picking up all empty rafts." The pilots belief that all the missing passengers had life jackets raised hopes that the loss of life would be small. However, a B-17 radioed: "Doubt if there any more survivors." The plane said the 37 rescued included three crew members and 34 passengers. It said rescued crewmen included pilot Joseph Halsey of Seattle, Wash., and copilot William Holleran. A returning Coast Guard PBY plane said Halsey expressed doubt that any more survivors would be found. All the passengers were migratory workers from Puerto Rico, enroute to the United States. They were among more than 5000 migrant workers being flown to the FUTURE FARMERS—Robert Van Dyke (left), and John Halsey (right), look over awards they've recently received for their city as Future Farmers at the high school.
