Mno, Tiger Appear Before Grand Jury NEW YORK <A>) — Nino Ben- venuti and Dick Tiger were ques tioned Wednesday by District Attorney Frank Hogan’s office in what appears to be a long and deep investigation into under world influences in boxing.

Snicks’ Forward fill Play Again NEW YORK (A>) — Dave Stallworth, a 6-foot-7 forward whose basketball career was be lieved ended by a heart attack two years ago, will resume play ing with the New York Knicker bockers next season. Doctors told the National Bas- ietball Association club that the former Wichita star had fully recovered and could resume nor mal activity. He is scheduled to report to the team’s training camp in September. Both appeared before a New York County grand jury later in the day. Hogan has said nothing offi cially. His office has declined to say what it’s all about. But sources say Hogan’s staff has been investigating for two months a resurgence of Mafia influence in main event fighters. Both fighters were subpoe naed along with boxer Frankie De Paula and his manager, Gary Garafola, both of Jersey City, N. J. De Paula and Garafola were told to come back and tes tify before the grand jury on June 12 which indicates that a lot of persons, including Mafia figures will be called to testify over a long period of time. DePaula and Garafola are out on $25,000 bail each after being arrested by the FBI on charges of stealing $80,000 worth of cop per in interstate shipment. The fighter and manager have been suspended by the New York Athletic Commission, pending disposition of the case. Tiger, a 12-5 underdog, sound ly whipped Benvenuti in a non title 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden Monday night. The Italian came out of the fight with a broken bone in his right hand and will be out of action for at least four months. The outcome of the fight ap parently is not being questioned. Sources say the fighters and others subpoenaed were served with papers that left Hogan’s office late Monday afternoon, hours before the fight. 83^ FOUNTAIN ROOM SPECIAL Served from 4-8 p.m. only Monday CAJUN DINNER Link Sausage - Creole Mustard Red Kidney Beans White Rice French Bread Tuesday FISH N CHIPS Cream Slaw, Rolls Wednesday COUNTRY FRIED CHICKEN French Fries, Rolls & Honey, Cream Slaw Thursday SPAGHETTI & MEAT SAUCE Italian Salad, Garlic Bread Friday STEAK FINGERS 1 * 1 oz.

Sounds incredible, but, says rookie manager Ted Williams it might have happened the way the Senators’ fortunes were go ing during the past week. “I was tempted to start some body and get a complete game,” Williams was saying after his Senators defeated Minnesota 5-1 ITuesday night. “And I didn’t care if the score was 22-7.” Barry Moore went nine inn ings to win the game for Wash ington, only the third time this season that the starting Sena tors’ pitcher was around for the finish. “I’ve thought about it during the past week,” Williams said. “Why not let the pitcher go and see what happens. Our relief pitchers needed a rest. “And what’s wrong with the idea of deciding beforehand that the starter is going to stay in no matter what. Either that or de cide that the game will be divid ed between two guys. The Senators have won only five of their last 20 and during that period have had two six- g a m e losing streaks, one of which ended Tuesday night. efficient executive's best friend Automatic and Easy to Use Remote Controlled Reusable Magnetic Tape Easy Transcription the fiJore/co 84 dictating machine The Norelco 84 is the modern efficient way to handle daily correspondence.

Three cars still in rebuilding stages since qualifications didn’t take advantage of the test per iod. They were rookie Bruce Walkup’s Gerhardt-Offenhauser, Johnny Rutherford’s Eagle-Of- fenhauser and Bobby Johns’ Mongoose-Offenhauser. Chief steward Harlan Fengler ordered two drivers to restore their cars to the configuration they had in qualifications — a basic US AC rule. One of the major rules prob lems this year will be one which forbids a driver from taking fuel from a teammate’s reserve tank in the pits. The 250-gallon lim it, plus a car’s starting load of about 75 gallons, may be crucial this year. Some of the powerful new tur bocharged Ford engines report edly were getting less than two miles per gallon on methanol, the standard racing fuel. How ever, they can increase mileage by blending with gasoline, which gets better mileage but runs hot ter and threatens engine dam age.

Any questions? Q. Why did we make it this size? A. Maverick pinches pennies, not people. We gave Maverick more leg room. More shoulder room. More luggage room. Maverick’s front seat offers nine inches more shoulder room than the front seat of the leading economy import. Q. What do I get for the price? A. You get your money’s worth. A complete, built-for-Americans kind of car. Room. Hot styling. Color-keyed interiors. Q. What kind of gas mileage can I get? A. That depends on you as well as the car. You can get as much as 25 or 26 miles per gallon—if you have an educated toe and the right road conditions. If you have a lead foot, or do a lot of city driving, you will get a lot less. In tests by professional drivers at our tracks, where we do our best to duplicate actual driving conditions, Maverick averaged 22.5 mpg. Q. What kind of power does Maverick have? A. Maverick’s Six lets loose 105 galloping horses. That’s 52 more than you get in the VW 1500. Maverick can cover 417 feet in ten seconds from a standing start. When you enter a 70-mph turnpike, you won’t feel like a retired bookkeeper thrust into the middle of a pro football game. Q. If it has an eight-inch longer wheelbase than the import, does it still handle and park easily? A. Maverick’s turning circle is 35.6 feet (vs. 36 feet for its leading import rival). Maverick can slant through traffic like a halfback. It makes you a better driver because of the nimble way it handles in traffic, goes around corners and slides into tight parking spots. Q. Can a small car be safe? And how safe is safe? A. This small car incorporates all the latest advances in engineering. Its brakes are as big as a standard compact’s—designed to stop cars weighing hundreds of pounds more. Maverick gives you weight . . . power . . . stability . . . designed for greater peace of mind on high-speed turnpikes where so many Americans spend so much of their time at 70 miles per hour.
