RICH MANS NEGRO WIDOW
AND WHITE FAMILY IN
AGREEMENT AT LAST

New York.-Two years of bitter
legal entanglements, concerning
the contested will of Arthur w.
Frost, 20 year old white sugar king
who tried to 'cut off his blueblood
relatives without a nickel" and
leave his immense estate to his
celored wife and her 10 year old
daughter in the Dominican Re-

hearing set for December 27. The

This remark was made by the

cry. He drew up his will so that

all his property. He drew it up

Jailed.
The inquiring little girl became
something akin to a prophet when
the widow, Mrs. Julia Fredericks
Frost, vigorously contested the will
but apparently tired out by the
court chickering's, finally agreed to
accept 37h per cent of her hus-
bands and holdings.
Mrs. Frost had served in the SUI

ter of a century. A year before
his death they were married. The
daughter, Maria was made legal

Thanksgiving with friends that
Mrs. Boyd stopped in Indianapolis
While waiting three hours between
trains at the Union station, she
telephoned friends and went into
the main waiting room to eat
lunch.
At approximately the time when
pastors and leaders were publicly
protesting the mistreatment OF
Jews in Nazi officials. a white sta
ton policeman. accompanied by a
white girl about IL years old went
up to Mrs. Boyd and asker her
to go into the women's waiting
room for a talk. She went with
the officer assisting her carrying
her luggage.
AS soon as she got there, the
policeman said to the attendant,
also white, take her in there" as
he pointed to a closed room.
Mrs. Boyd was well dressed
wearing a rich looking fur coat
valued at $500. Having been abroad
several times, her luggage was
heavily laden with European Ia
bells. What was apparently to him
the unusual spectacle of a color
ed oma being so attlred n
equipped was believed responsible
for his attitude, because he an
grily told the Chicogoan "you don't
own these things"
He had the matron search both
Mrs. Boyd and her luggage and
then demanded, "Where are you
going with all those fine clothes =
Coming across her passport still
saved from a recent European trip
he wanted to know just who she
was.

a property owner in Chicago and
asked permission to call her fri
ends. The policeman ordered her
to "shut up. Mrs. Boyd said, and
then told her he would "take her
where she could telephone some
body" Handling her roughly, he
pushed her to the door of the sta
ton, huddler her into a patrol wa
gon and took her to the city jail
where she was locked up. There
she gave the name of an influential
friend who in three hours brought
her release.
Forced to stay over until the
next day, Mrs. Boyd appeared in
court Monday morning only to
have the case dismissed as soon
as it was called.
The change filed against her
was that of "vagrancy."
Although officials ire apollo

TODANS SPORTe,PARADE AAAAl@hl;lJHa1Ag2g
BY HENRY McLEMORE

lOulIeO frcSS StaH COrreSpOndent)
 Daytona Beach, Fla, Feb. B. (UP).-I was stretched out on the beach here acquiring a fresh coat freckles when a scraggly little dog parked at me and ran away, and for some reason was reminded, that I never had commented on Bill Terry's recent attack on sports writers.
 When I say "attack" I am taking the word of others as to what was in the article because haven't read it. Furthermore I am willing to bet my favorite antimacasser set against the next three Japanese apologies that I never will. There is entirely too much good literature in the world for me to read any more Terry than I can help. To come right out and say so, I'd rather confine my reading matter to the notes washed up in bottles by the tide than to read any prose by Terry.
 While have not read Terry's bid for the Pulitzer prize, I am not be- ing unfair when I criticize his talent as writer because I have read number of his earlier works They all come under the heading of New York Giants Batting Or der"
 You have never read such dull things in your life. He's written hundreds of these things and they have absolutely no variety, no plot, no character delineation, no pune. tuation, no love interest and no moral.
 Just let me give you sample of the only written works of Terry's I have even seen. It's this sort of thing:
 "Bartell, Whitehead, Ott, Moore" |"
 Now wasn't that vivid, descriptive writing folks? Sounds like gibber- ish to me.
 And I should read a whole five thousand word article by the man! The only people I ever knew who read Terry regularly are the um- pires and they were paid to do 1t.
 As I recall Terry's earlier literary efforts-Bartell, Whitehead, Ott, Moore, Ripple, Lieber, Mancuso, Chiozza, Hubbell-I am amazed that he was able to write more than nine words at one time.
 It's funny, tool that he should require five thousand words to describe sports writers when there is hardly sports writer I know who couldn't describe Terry ill one word.

New York, Feb. g. (UP)-Tony Galento beer -bibbing heavyweight from Orange, N. J., felt the sting of the New York athletic commis- sion's whiplash for the second time today when he was ordered to Madame Bey's training camp at Summit, N. J., by promoter Mike Jacobs.
 Galento, who is scheduled to fight Harry Thomas of Chicago in Madi- son Square Garden Feb. IS, was ordered by the commission last Fri day to quit posing for new pictures while quaffing breaker of suds and smoking black cigars. Tony re- taliated with a subtle poke at the commission by allowing the lens men to snap him slipping milk through straw and licking a lolli- pop.
 "This fellow belongs in a circus, not in a ring" roared Commission Bill Brown yesterday, and forth with announced that he and Chair man John J. Phelan had concurred in a resolution to withdraw con- mission approval of the Galento- Thomas bout for Tony's failure to report to recognized training camp.
 Promoter Mike Jacobs immediate ly went into a huddle with Galento's Manager, Joe Jacobs, and ordered him to get Tony up to Madame Bey's place today "or I'll cancel the match myself"
 Galento agreed to go to a train ing camp, but argued that he could get in better condition at home.
