COMMENT OF
THE DAY
Clearer Picture
WITH Russia's acceptance
W of the invitation to join
in Big Four "summit" talks, there remains to be decided only the time and the place for the meeting. But since the invitation was extended a clearer picture of what these conversations can and cannot expect to achieve hag emerged.
st
No dramatic or rapid results |
from any single meeting are contemplated. The Western view is that Russia can help in "orderly negotia tions most likely to bring about agreements by pro gressive stages." Which ineans that the "summit" 'conference will merely pre
pare the ground for the further meetings at lower levels. Thus the heads of confine güvernments will themselves to an exchange of views to formulate issues to be worked on and agrte to methods to be followed in exploring solutions.

Cockell Survives 8 Title Bout Rounds
TAKES HEAVY BATTERING
Rocky Marciano retained his world heavyweight title in San Francisco last night when he scored a technical knock- out decision against the English champion Don Cockell in "the ninth ^^round.
Marciano never appeared to be in danger of losing. He drew blood from Cockell early in the fight, and the only round in which the Englishman scored was the sixth when he traded heavy punches with Marciano,
Cockell put up a feeble defence against the accurate hitting Mar- ciano, and in the eighth round he appeared to be helpless. Marciano threw a long right that connected on the chin and Cockell went down for a count of three.
The bell saved him.
Early in the ninth Marciano landed a left and right and Cockell sank
to the floor. As he did so, the champion hit him again. Cockell was up
at the count of seven, but went down immediately for another count of five.
