tions by a ring jockey since
Bob Pastor pedaled 10 rounds
against Joe Louis five years
ago.
Now Pep is recognized as the
champion in New York but Is miles
away in his home town of Hart
ford, he is just the local pride,
king without a crown. For Connec-
ticut's boxing commission is ALL
lated with the National Boxing AS
sociation which has regarded Pitts
burgh Jackie Wilson, rather than
Wright as the top featherwelght.
The differences between the two
main ruling bodies of boxing -
New York and NBA - which once
saw almost a complete separate
slate of champions, have largely
been ironed out and now they are
at odds only as concerns the fea-
Tiers and bantams. Lou Salica, the
bantam ruler, was whipped by Ma
neul Ortiz in California. The NBA
promptly handed him the title but
New York stood by Salica on the
grounGs that their bout was at y
rounds whereas in this state all
championship affairs must be
scheduled for Is.
Efforts are being made to match
Pep and Wilson to clear up the IT,
tie dispute. Wilson is a harder
ringman but whether he can catch
Pep and keep up with this speedy
cyclisl long enough to hit him re-
mains to be seen.
This pep3y Pep, who has now
won 81 consecutive fights, is a bet
ter than fair boxer and carries
enough of wallop to shake up a
foe. He had the situation under
control all through his tactical re-
treat, outfooting OF Chalky and
with a swift left jab. Occasionally.
lie surprised Wright by suddenly
ST piping and exchanging punches.
And he did better than all right
biting faster and landing more
lows than Chalky. Pep also handl-
ed himself extremely well along
the ropes and in getting out of cor
ners. The Chalk was too late with
too little. He took things easy toe
long and when he finally began
seriously stalking Pep, he found
he couldn't catch him.
Around Hartford, Pep is known
as fast-moving, fast-hitting slam
bang type fighter. He altered his
style altogether when he got his
big title chance. He figured, prob
ably very correctly, that the only
way to beat The Chalk was to stab
and run; that he didn't carry
enough ammunition to punch it
out with the champ. If they should
be matched again, Pep might make
more of fight of it. Winning the
crown has given him more conf
dence and he may now feel that he
Is competent to tangle with Chal-
ky at closer quarters.
Chances are, though, that he
would beat Chalky again, that he
VIII beat Wilson when and if they
fight. and that he's likely to hold
the crown for sometime. He has too

he had found any inflamibles, he
replied:

yes" Linney replied.
The fire prevention officer re-
ported he found "a sufficient num-
her of exists; a sufficient num-
ber of extinguishers.
Among the first of the night
clubs employees to testify was tan
ley Tomaszewski, 16-year-old bar
boy, who previously told police he
had lighted a match to screw in
an electric light bulb and that a
moment later flames shot up from
palm tree and enveloped nearby
drapes.
IT shook the match and then
stepped on it, he told the inquest
today.
'Then the fire started-first the
tree leaves and then the drapes.
I led some people to the street.
The smoke was so thick I couldn't
breath. I went to a window for
air.
The youngster, a clean-cut cap
tain in the high school cadet corps,
was calm and self possessed, in
contrast to the shaken attitude Of
some of the employees. Bartender
John w. Bradley, his head swath-
ed in bandages nd apparently
near collapse, testified:
'There was a flash. Fire ran
right across the ceiling. 1t was
awful 1 got out through the kitch-
en-. Two of tn ekitchen help tried
to use fire extinguishers."
His voice quavered as he told
of hooking open a door and shout
ing:
Come this way"
'But no one came" he added.
"Smoke hit me in the face. I put
my hands to my head and my
hair was ablaze."
Chief Samuel Pope and other
high officials of the fire depart
ment told of body-clogged door
ways when they arrived on the
scene and efforts to spray the
firemen so that they could crawl
into the building in the intense
heat.
The first firemen to arrive were
forced to crawl over bodies OF
trapped victims before they could
get inside, several officials said.
Meanwhile, the Red Cross Bos-
ton blood donor center reported
its busiest day on record as more
than 500 persons volunteered their
blood for plasma to replace the
units used to save the seriously
injured.
Doctors estimated the prompt
kiood transfusions had saved the
lives of possibly $50 victims.
In report on activities of scores
of volunteer Red Cross workers,
some of whom have been on duty
since late Saturday night, the Or
ganization announced they had as
sumed such tasks as providing a
nurse housekeeper to care for
three children, the oldest four
wears, whose mother and father
perished in the fire; completing
arrangement for the burial of
father when it was learned his es-
tranged wife had three children
and was in need of financial aid;
and caring for two children and
their 8o-year-old grandmother aft
er their father and mother died
in the fire and an older sister
was burned seriously.
A relief work continued, Massa-
chusetts state officials pledged
their aid in two separae lnvel-
gaion, one by District Attorney

Union Charges
WPB Practices
Race Bias
Federal Workers Union
Charges Officials Permit
Anti-NegrO Discrimination

Washington, Aug. 20. - The
United Federal Workers, CLIO, to-
day charged that officials of the
War Production Board (WPB)
were permitting widespread anti
Negro discrimination in the opera
tions and control section of WPB.
Releasing correspondence with
Raymond F. Crist, WPB chief of
employee relations, and Carlton
Hayward, director of personnel,
the union accused these officials of
sheer neglect" in failing to en-
force President Roosevelt's Execu-
tive Order forbidding race bias in
war work.
The union charged:
Negroes are refused employment
in the operations and control Sec
ton of the day shift.
Negroes employed on the night
shift are denied transfer to day
work while white workers are
shifted.
There are no Negro supervisors
on the night shift despite the pres
ence of hundreds of Negro en-
ployees.
Negroes are denied Simple pro-
motional opportunities"
The union said that details were
being placed in the hands of FDR's
Fair Employment Practice Com
mittee and that an appeal would
be made to Donald M. Nelson I'M
less corrective steps are taken.
The union also made public a
letter to Crist declaring eds
criminatory actions have increased
rather than diminished and segre-
cation has continued" in the seven
weeks since it's first protest.
The union proposed a five-point
reform program calling for:
Posting of FDR's anti-discrimi-
nation order on all bulletin boards.
Transfer of employees on the
basis of seniority without regard
for race or creed.
Selection of supervisors on the
same principle.
Publication of vacancies on the
night shift.
Institution of a democratic pro-
motion system.
No comment was available from
WPB.
