Sammy Fuller To Try
Ring 'Comeback"

Boston, Feb. 4.-(UP)--A goodly
crowd of boxing fans will be on
hand to see If Sammy Fuller can
disprove the adage Of the ring "they
never come back" when he tangles
with Joe Aponte Torres at Mechatl-
les hall.
Those who have seen Fuller dur
ing his seven-week training period
think he can take Torres but they
won't guess further ahead than
that.
Harry Kelley, crafty trainer who
has seen Fullers workouts says
Hes in the best shape he can get
in.
1.-THE only thing I'm wondering"
he adds, us what will happen after
he gets a couple In the midriff."
Fuller's corner will look like q
revival Of the ancients. AS a Sec
ond he will have Tommy Kloby Of
Lawrence who staged a comeback at
So in the days OF Eddie Shevlin and
Nate Siegal and wound up with an
estimated 100000. That's Fuller's
target.

JeffrieS Hit Hardest Punch
By ChoynSki, Who Gives Him
68-P Pound Pull And Gets Draw
BY HARRY GRAYsON
NEA Service Sports Editor

Down through the years many q
| fighter has been pointed out as q
gamester. In most instances 1t was
q fellow who could take an awful
shellacking, with not q chance OF
being the winner. Such glovemen
should not be classed as game. They
are dumb.
Joe Choynski combined all the
qualities Of the gamester. The
doughty Choynski cared naught for
weight, height, hitting power or any
other handicap. When the heavy
weights Stunned Bob Fitzsimmons,
Choynski took him on. He was IN
no sense q selector.
Punches hurt him as much or
more than the other bloke, but he
did not hesitate to trade them.
Particular attention always TO-
cuses on the great fight Choynski
put UP against the seemingly over
whelming advantages young James

him in San Francisco, Nov. &c. 1897.

Matchmaker Nat Rogers has

gone into the service, the former
into the Navy and the latter into
the Marines. Another trio are eX-
pected to leave for the services any
day. They are Joe Mirabito, Ray
Mahoney, and Joe Franz.
So far, the Loughlin coach has
discovered six athletes who can

Loughlin always has been strong.
Among the few veterans are Bill

last year and has blossomed into
a half miller and 1000 yard runner
this winter. Toomey Is a miller who
may yet get down to 4.30 by the

another relay runner, has developed
into a capable quarter miller. An.

for more technical work" The first
ten of these units were authorized
back in 1910. They were then the
only Negro units of any type IN
the Air Corps. They were set up IN
order that it could be said that Ne
groes were in all branches OF the
Army. Men were assigned TO them
without regard to technical ab1ll-
ty or lack of it. If the Air Forces
are now going to take the we'll
qualified men out of these units
and assign them to technical train
ing, this will be new and forward
step. But up to the present time,
there has never been an effort to
prevent the assignment OF men
with superior qualifications to these
labor units.
In summary, although there have
been some recent improvements, the
practices and policies CT the Air
Corps are still verw bad, far worse
than the new War Department
statement would lead the public
to believe. In this connection, it is
to be regretted that UnGcr Secre-
tary of War Patterson, man of
great integrity but who has little
personal knowledge of and no SUI
pervision over the Air Training
Program, should be used as the
mouthpiece for the misleading
statement which has found its way
into the press.

USO Denied

ment Committee presented a letter
to the Mayor denying that they
had authorized Rev Holland to
use their names and stated that
they found no fault Of the Di-
rector and his program and that
it was their opinion and hope that
the building would be turned over
to the USO as originally planned.
In a similar letter to the Mayor
Mrs. S. M. Brinkley, one OF the
Trustees of the property urged
that the building be turned over to
the IJSO as stated in the lease
agreement made by the Trustees.
In turning over the property to
the local defense recreation council
according to Mr. Bell, USO official
of Atlanta, the Mayor stated tflat
he took such action because tne
building had been completed Tor
more than a month and USO had
failed to advise the city OF It's WILL
ineness and readiness to take over
the building. Mr.. Eel added after
conferences with members OF the
local USO council, and telephone
conversation with the New York Oh
flee of the USO that no notice had
been received from the city regard
inc the building being ready TOR

According to the reports, IN turn

that a Director, a helper, and Jani-
tor would be furnished for the
building with an additional twenty
five dollars a month for incidental
expense. Mr. Llackus, of FSA Re-
gional office in Atlanta who arrived
late in the week, pointed out how
ever that application by the city
for funds from the War Public Ser
vices and the Federal securities Adj
ministration might bring a further
increase in the funds for the opera
ton of the building.
Whether the USO would remain
here appeared to be a dubious
question, although both the officials
Of the USO and F,SA regional office
in Atlanta indicated that thew
might SO recommend because of the
obvious inadequacy of the building
to meet the present needs of recrea-
ton for the soldiers at the Jackson
Air Base, to say nothing of the adj
dltlonal loads brought on by train
ing a large number of Negro SOL
dierS at the Flora Ordnance Plant
Meanwhile many persons in we'll
informed circles were pointing out
the fact that Mrs. Elizabeth Mo-
man, who will direct the new build
ing, both because of age and lack of
necessary training in the field of
Social Service and recreation might
lind 1t very difficult If not impos-
slble to direct such a program, and
expressed the hope that the USO
would not withdraw it services and
program from the city.

OF the disruptive forces which
unless checked, will ultimately
disturb and threaten the stability
of the nation. Either to denv or
to ignore the increased tension
between the white and the colored
races would be a gesture of insin-
cerity.
That there are acute and intri-
cate problems associated with two
races living side by side in the
south cannot be denied. But these
problems can be solved and will
ultimately disappear if they are
brought out into an atmosphere
Of justice and good will. If we
approach them with the contemptin
one group and with resentment in
the other group, then we work on
hopeless terms. The solution of
these problems can be found only
in men of both races who are
known to be men of determined
good will. The ultimate solution
will be found in evolutionary
methods and not in ill-founded
revolutionary movements which
promise immediate solutions.

ing for the present Negro fighting
group. So far as / know, this means
seven Negro weather officers. Yet
the War Department has, within the
past few weeks, expanded it's plan
for training a thousand weather Of
ficers to the training of ten thou
sand such specialists. The few Ne
groes who were trained all finish
ed near the top of their classes.
Yet they and men like them can
not be used to fill any of the pro-
spective ten thousand vacancies.
This, Of course, is because they
would have to make weather cal
culations for white pilots.
The suggestion of the War De-
partment that Negroes are trained
only for single engine pursuit fly
ing and not for bombardment "be-
cause of the technical and other
features present in flying" is sheer
nonsense. The single engine pur-
suit pilot has the most difficult and
exacting aerial task. The fact is
that the Air Forces do not propose
to give the Negro any greater op-
portunity in flying than they are
forced to give.
The excuse now advanced for re-
stricting technical opportunity as
mechanics, radio men, ETC., is that
a much smaller percentage of Ne
groes than white pass the mechan-
ical aptitude test. But in 1941 and
1912 when white volunteers by the
thousands were allowed to qualify
for technical training, Negroes were
being rejected, not because they
were incompetent but because they
were colored. The fact that fewer
Negroes than white were qualified
was no excuse for excluding the
Negroes who could qualify. 1 I'M
derstand that very recently the Air
Command has begun seeking quail
fled Negroes in various non-techni-
cal units to be transferred for tech

AGREE WITH DURHAM
CONTEREES

We agree with the Durham con-
erence that it is unfortunate that
the simple efforts to correct oh
Vlous social and economic inius-
tees continue, with such consider
able popular support, to be inter
preted as the predatory ambition
OF irresponsible Negroes to invade
the privacy Of family life" We
agree also that cit is wicked no
ton that the strange by the Negro
Tor citizenship is a struggle against
the best interests of the nation.
To urge such doctrine, as many
are doing, is to preach disunity.
and to deny the most elementary
principles of American life and
government.
1t is futile to imagine or TO as
sert that the problem will solve
itself The need is for a positive
program arrived at in an atnos-
phere of understanding, sco-opera-
ton and mutual respect.
