It was the third Nut-tatheir Washington fight, third draw. In their first professional meeting, the two young contenders fought all the way, Washington working on Keiths nose with a long left, Keith retaliating principally with strong rights toMhe dusky opponents mid section and ribs. Misgivings as to Keiths ability to go the longer route were erased in the closing rounds as Keith recovered the aggressive and clearly was throwing stronger, straighter punches than his foe. But a number of powerful uppercuts aimed at Buddy's jaw failed to connect woth the punch that would have spelled the title. From the first round Keiths nose bled intermittently as a result of Buddys left taps, but otherwise the Brigham City boy seemed to sustain no damage, and finished the fight going strong. Keith, his manager, Henry and Boh Nelson, Armstrong trainer, went today to Ideal Beach, on Bear Lake, for a weeks rest and further conditioning. Farrell J. Spencer, manager of Ideal Beach, is one of Keiths most ardent fans. He provided a rest camp for young Nuttall, Armstrong and Nelson following Keiths fight here in Brigham City and with the fine recreational facilities available helped the young fighter recover for the Cannon bout. fast-pace- 17. birthday schools will be in sesjck, transportation sion, but some time will be debe furnished.

The Bushnell hospital situation was clearer and more understandable today than it had been since rumors first started flying that the wartime general hospital would not be a permanent institution. The reason: The freeze was off. The Washington War Assets administration office had rejected the state of Utahs bid for the property, and the Salt City War Assets was beginning work preparatory to selling the temporary structures on the reservation, for removal, and following that the sale of marginal areas, the orchards and homes along the Main street and Seventh south frontages of the Bushnell area.

This division will be flexible, and insofar as possible and not to interfere with the ultimate disposal of the entire area, divisions will be made to suit purchasers. Thus the Bushnell situation was explained to city officials and officers of the Chamber of Commerce here yesterday by W. E. Griffin, deputy regional director, office of real property, War Assets administration, Salt Lake City. Up to now Bushnell has been frozen pending decision of the states bid, Grilfin explained, and no specific information as to its status could be determined." He said the states bid for Bushnell was turned down in Washington for the reason that the state made application for the property at 100 percent discount without proposing use of the property that would justify such a discount. The state, he said, proposed to use part of Bushnell for the state industrial school, and dismantle the remainder and use the materials elsewhere, for construction, repairs and improvements. Were making a study now with a view toward dividing the hospital into units for sale or lease, Griffin said. Plans are under way to sell off the temporary type buildings for outside use and removal. Advertising for the sale of these buildings will begin this month. The marginal property the ot- chards and homes' along Main and Seventh south will be sold next Griffin explained that former owners have certain priority rights to acquire these properties. Applications will be accepted the beautiful little chapel building on the Bushnell grounds, for use as a shrine, memorial or house of worship. In the event of occupancy of the hospital proper, Griffin said, the utilities serving the area would be offered to Brigham City. It was understood that these utilities would be transferred to the city at little or no cost. Improvements, other than buildings, on the Bushnell area cost nearly a million dollars. Griffin said War Assets first objective was to clear the Bushnell site of all temporary buildings this will start this month. Next the marginal areas will be sold, and third planning will be going forward on the basis of dividing the hospital proper for sale or lease. This division will be based upon facilities and areas desired by prospective buyers, he said. As for discounts on the fair value at which hospital property will be priced, Griffin said benefit allowance can be obtained only where health and education are involved in the proposed use of the property or facilities sought. Fair value is based on a complicated formula figured from reproduction cost less depreciation, obsolescence and other factors. Turning the swimming pool for public use would not, he explained, qualify as involving health or education. A member of the city council inquired into the prospects of the Brigham City acquiring Bushnell recreation area, inthe $135,000 indoor cluding swimming pool, the gymnasium, the theater, baseball diamonds and playing fields, for incorporation in a city park. A bid from the city for these facilities, for this purpose, would be very favorably considered, Griffin said. He also said that a veterans would have no organization priority for the purchase of a building such as the officers club, for use as a club house. Griffin said there was a good possibility that the eight residences on the Bushnell area would be rented at once or soon, on a month basis, to should private individuals, there be any demand for housing here.
