White said today. Nationally about 99 per cent of the Christmas mail reached its destination before Christ mas Eve. "ZIP Code use and the co opertaion of the public in mailing early were the main reasons for our success. With the same better cooperation this year, we expect to han dle an even greater volume of mail, with less effort than during the 1964 Christmas rush." Mr. White had advice which Would help mailers prepare for the upcoming mailing sea son. A. Up date last year's ad dress list and include ZIP Codes.

GOOD OLD DAYS The good old days are de fined as the days when a teen ager went into the garage and came out with a lawn mower. Globe, Atchison, Kan. The Fight Game Among the bills in the last Congress which did not receive widespread public attention was legislation to create a Federal Boxing Commission. This bill was developed by the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee on which I serve and was passed by the House althcugh Senate action is still pending. Like much of the legislati on Congress has considered this year, the boxing commis sion bill is a complicated mea sure that involves the public interest. American radio and television, and professional boxing itself. Over the years, there has been a sharp change in how the profits are made in pro fessional boxing. In former years, revenues came from the tickets bought to see champ ionship fights. Today, gate re ceipts at the ring are no long er so important. Radio and television coverage now sup ply the economic lifeblood for boxing. Even so, either State ncr Federal governments have authority to assure the proper utilization of radio and tele vision for such events. These circumstances were highlighted by the Clay-Lis ton championship fight held in Lewiston, Maine, on May 25, 1965. The fight had been mov ed to Lewiston in order to permit closed circuit televis ion in theaters to ccver the fight on that date. Originally, the fight had been scheduled for Boston, but a suit had been brought by Massachu setts authorities against the promoters of the fight and the suit could not be resolv ed before the scheduled day. Our committe heard a num ber of witnesses connected with boxing promotion urging that televised boxing match es should be licensed by the Federal government. It was clear that this situation had been building for a long time as ways have been sought to assure standards in the con duct of boxing matches and to prevent collusicn and other criminal activities which af fect the integrity of profes sional boxing. In the past several years, boxing has been involved with scandals and some criminal activities that have brought on its present problems. It is unlike other professional team sports such as football, base ball, and basketball which have established organizations to police their own activities, set their own professional standards and see that they are followed. All of the evi dence our Committee received showed that this kind of self policing is not practical for professional boxing. The Federal Bcxing Com mission that this bill seeks to establish would be composed of three commissioners whose authority would be limited to cases of boxing matches where television, radio, and other interstate and foreign communications facilities are used. At the same time, the bill would safeguard the pow ers and responsibilities of State and lccal boxing commission. It would have authority to li cense boxers, promoters, ag ents, and referees, and to is sue regulations concerning contracts, agreements, arrang ements, and understandings concerning scheduled matches. It would also set standards for the promotion, conduct, and coverage of boxing matches that are to be covered by radio and television. Actually, this legislation is an attempt to get at a very difficult problem and although I supported it, I dcubt that it will do the job fully. It is also unfortunate that it re stricts the activities of the communications media. How ever, there is every indica tion that as things stand now unscrupulous boxing promo ters could very well flaunt State and local regulations in money-making schemes of ma jor promotions. It is a sorry commentary that legislation of this kind, is necessary, at all. However, its goal is only the restora tion of integrity and hones ty in what has become known as the "fight game." If young men wish to become boxers, it ought to be possible for them to train, compete, and develop their talents without having to stage sham and collusive matches. If this leg islation is finally enacted into law, we can hope that it will help drive out the gamblers and criminal elements that have invaded the fight busi ness for the purpose of reap ing unjustifiable profits at the expense of the public.
