BUCKY WALTERS
 VERY VERSATILE

PHILADELPHIA, July 10.-Bucky Walters, who proved his versatility early this season by turning from third base to the pitchers mound with conspicuous success, did an- other good turn the other day. Knocked off the slab in the first game of twin bill, he played left field in the afterpiece-and got three hits, three runs, batted in an other and handled three fielding chances perfectly.

RAzINC LEvEES SOUGHT TO FREE
 'OL' MISSISSIPPI
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor)

WASHINGTON, July 10.- Tear down all the levees on the Missis- sippi river, proposes Chase s. Os- born, and so restore to farmers the country's greatest source of na- tural fertility now soing to waste
 MT. Osborn, former governor of Michigan, would make a new Nile valley of the Mississippi and pro- tect the cities and farms from flood much as medieval communities were walled against robber barons.
 His proposal was written to M. E. Cooler, state engineer, PWA., Detroit, who forwarded it to Harold L. Ickes. Ickes offered to arrange a discussion with government en- gineers
 River Bottom Rising
 About the time the war between the state broke out" former Gov erner Osborn wrote, the levees protecting towns were not more than five or 10 feet high. Since then the levees have been built up to 30 or 40 feet, perhaps, or at least great enclosing dykes that do not stand. Then came the building of the eads jetties and so on.
 "The result has been that the colloidal suspension and the water burden of the river has built up the bottom of the river between these artificial walls. Some of the material has gone out toward the sea when floods occur.
 However generally speaking the river has been confined so that the Mississippi Valley has about lost it's usefulness.
 Once a planter in the Mississippi bottoms was always a rich man. That was the choicest land in entire America. Now 1t is about as poor as we have-almost submarginal.
 Let River Take Its Course
 My plan would be to tear down all the levees and let the river go where it would, building and fer tilizing as it went.
 Then I would protect the towns by adequate leyees, instead of try ing to hold the river. There could be mounds of refuge for the coun- try people, such as the Indians used for that purpose.
 People could be compelled to move out of the worst danger zones The levees around the river towns would not need to be nearly so high If the river were allowed to expand and distribute itself.
 Tt would be ideal to canalize the Mississippi. A straight canal would not cost as much in the long run as it does to try to keep an open channel that is constantly filling and changing"

bouts. Eleven months of profession al boxing added 19 knockouts to his list in 23 bouts, without Sin gle loss to mar his record Thus 62 knockouts for a career which embraces TT bouts-that's the story of Joe Louis punchl
 A Master DuxsT, Too.
 His smashing victory over Car nera did mere than prove Louis a great puncher-it showed him to be a masterful boxer with we'll nigh punch-proof defense. Many expected Camera to outbox his in- experienced opponent but Louis brushed aside Primo's ponderous left handed thrusts, moved inside and out just as he pleased.
 Most fight fans will be ready to name Louis the perfect fighting machine as soon as they are con- vinced that he can take it" as well as he deals out punishment. If he continues to demolish his oppon- ents with his crushing punch, and at the same time offering an im- pregnable defense-he won't have to take great deal of punishment. Until he shows that he cannot take it he should be entitled to the benefit of the doubt.
 Just to prove that being shorn of his title hasn't changed Max Baet any the former champion came through with nifty when asked at the ringside what he thought of Louis exhibition against Camera.
 He's truly a great fighter, but I'll make him jump out of the ring, said Max. Get that fellow for me.
 Just like the Max Baer of old. But Promoter Mike Jacobs offer of a September bout with Louis was not snapped up by Max as readily as his remark would indi- cate.
 Baer's manager, Ancil Hoffman, told the promoter that Baer could accept no matches until he was certain that his hands would be in shape for battle.
 Former titleholder Max Baer's hands are in bad shape. One physi- elan recommended an operation on the right hand while another sug- gested that both hands be placed in a cast for several weeks.
 Hoffman seemed to think that there was little chance of Baer putting the gloves on again this year, let alone in a couple of 
 In the event that Baer will be unable to meet Louis in the fall it is highly probable that Promoter Jacobs will try to bring Max over here for the bout.
 The $325,O00 gate of the Louis Camera bout sold Mike Jacobs on promoting heavyweight bouts. His good friend, the late Tex Packard, always felt that there was only one real championship spectacle-and that between pair of big boys . Now Jacobs is convinced.

Congressman Mitchell

Continued from Page One)
"The cause of much of the Me-
gro's failure Is in his own ranks.
The congressman stated how he
had been to the White House the
day before talking with President
Roosevelt about the problems, and
things he would like to see done,
and the President In talking about
the anti-lynching bill said he would
sign any anti-lynching bill coming
up before House or Senate.
But, the President told Of the
time he had carried Georgia demo-
cratic in 1928. It was carried by
Chandler, an old man, who only
got the people to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket by appealing to their
pHejudices saying that the u. S.
was going to have Negro domino
ton Those were the type of peo-
pie he had to contend with while
in office, that an old man like
Chandler could not be changed.
But the President reiterated he's
going to sign the bin, even If he
doubts its constitutionality and be-
lieves the most effective measure
is education.
I'VE are too radical with too lit
tie sense. I don't want to be mis-
understood. I believe in radical
ism. We've got to be alive to keep
working. to be dissatisfied. But
we must use judgment
BE radical enough so that when
you get office holders TO go your
way some of the time, vote him
out of office. I believe people we
vote for to hold office ought to
serve us. If not, the first chance
we get, vote against him"
He turned back to flaying the
Negroes. saying people of other
races get together and don't fight
each other so much as the COM
mon enemy. If we would do this
we would get along better.
Speaking about the criticisms
which have been leveled against
him especially by the press. Con-
gresham Mitchell declared, TITS
not my duty to cater to public SEN
timent. It's my duty to make it.
1 make no effort to please the peo-
pie I'm talking to, but to say the
things which 1 believe.
"All races have a deal of lead
ership which attempts to please.
We have it yet, l don't know how
far we're going to get with that
leadership. 1 contend that no lead
er should seek to please the peo-
pie"
Someone asked about the pros
poets of Negro labor being includ-
ed in the vast works projects of
the U. S. Government. He declared
that he was not informed on this
question. However, he stated that
the Negro was better off now than
he was many years ago, and that
it's going to take long time to
accomplish anything.

sound judgment" on the jury roll.
THE testimony, as the court
said, tended to show that in long
number of years no Negro had
been called for jury service in the
county," the opinion said ut
appeared that no Negro had serv-
ed on any grand jury or petit jury
in that county within the memory
of witnesses who had lived there
all their lives. Testimony to that
effect was given by men whose
ages ranged from so to 76 years.
Their testimony was uncontrovert-
ed"
Jury Roll Decision Cited
The court found that the pres
ence of the names of six colored
persons on the jury roll in ques-
ton was questionable, that the
evidence indicated they were plac-
ed there after the controversy be-
gan.
The opinion, after citing these
and other circumstances, says the
evidence established the discrim-
nation which the constitution for
bids and that "the motion to quash
the indictment upon that ground
should have been granted"

children.
Mary asserted that she had no
knowledge of whether many of
those living in the heavens" were
married or single, that when they
come to her she is glad to give
them place to stay and that's all
that matters. Many of them, she
said, living there had previously
been on relief and she declared
that Investigators coming around
to see how they were getting al
ong found that they were living
in conditions far better than be-
fore.
