Championship Fight To Be on Big Screen Floyd Patterson's defense of the heavyweight championship against hard-hittin- g Sonny Lis-- , ton at Chicago, September 25, will be seen in Salt Lake at the Utah Theatre via the magic of closed circuit television. The action will be seen direct from the Chicago ring on a larger than life-size- d screen beginning at 7:30 p.m., M.S.T., and will af-ford many viewers a better view of the bout than can be had from many of the seats in the Chicago Stadium itself. There will be no home tele-vision of the bout which will mark Patterson's eighth defense of the championship he won originally from Archie Moore in 1950 and regained from Inge-ma- r Johansson in 1960. Ringside seats at the Chicago Stadium cost $100 but seats at the Utah Theatre are scaled from $6.50 to $5.00. The Utah Theatre announces that tickets are now on sale at the theatre box office or may be ordered by mail. Mail orders are given preference over box office sales, filled immediately, and returned to purchaser. The title bout is promoted by Championship Sports, Inc., and will be televised on closed cir-cuit TV by Graff-Reiner-Smi- th Enterprises, Inc. The Utah Theatre also an-nounces that tickets will be available for other theatres in Salt Lake for this closed circuit telecast after the Utah Theatre is sold out. Sen. Moss Challenges Colleagues to Match Words, Action Senator Frank E. Moss CD-Uta- h) Friday challenged his colleagues in Congress to match their fine words on the value of education with deeds. In a brief speech to the Senate he described the record of this 87th Congress on education "a shameful one." He said: "This week nearly 40 million young people returned to the classrooms of our public schools to find in far too many in-stances conditions worse than when they left last June. Many will meet new teachers for the first time. And far too many of these teachers, nearly 100,000 according to the U.S. Office of Education, will be professionally unqualified for the solemn re-sponsibility which they have. An estimated ten million of these children will be in overcrowded classrooms, many in actually unsafe buildings." Senator Moss lauded his State of Utah for the financial effort it exerts on behalf of education, saying: "Utah ranks very high fourth in the nation in the number of fully qualified teach-ers, with 95.8 per cent of all its teachers holding at least the bachelor's degree. Of this we are justifiably proud. We are not proud of the fact that we rank 29th in teachers' salaries $500 below the national average and nearly $2,000 below the highest rate. In addition we rank 44th in per cent of increases in teach- - ers salaries, having raised them only 2.2 per cent last year as compared with a national aver-age increase of nearly five per cent. This indicates that Utah has reached its limit of resources for instructional costs. "Before you say that Utah should solve this situation for it-self, consider these facts: Utah ranks first in the nation in per cent of personal income devoted to public elementary and secon-dary schools. Our citizens in Utah invest, on the average, $5.50 of every $100 of personal income in public education. The national average is only $3.70 per $100." And he said: "It is unfair and unjust for the people of states such as Utah to be forced to bear such an in-equitable share of the cost of educating the future citizens of this nation. The appropriatcfTje of the Federal tax gathering ma-chinery for education is the only answer for the alleviation of such unreasonable equities." Bids Are Opened For Three Jobs On Interstate Roads C. Taylor Burton, Utah State Director of Highways, announced apparent low bidders on three Interstate Highway contracts for which bids were opened at the State Office Building in Salt Lake City Tuesday.

Molybdenite, found in several Utah counties, is vital in hardening steel and toughen-ing cast iron. While our state has no molybdenite mines, this mineral, produced as a by-produ- ct of copper mining, adds millions of dollars a year to Utah's prosperity.
