Jones by K. O..

Boston, May 14-(UP)-Mad An. thony Jones, 166, of Boston scored his fifth straight victory by a widA margin last night as he technically knocked out Len Wadsworth, 16l IA, of Hamilton, Ont, in the fourth round of their scheduled 10-roynd bout before 2,104 fans at Mechanims Building.
 It was a lop-sided contest as Wadsworth went down for a nine count in the first round and from there on only covered up and took the furious barrage of leftS and rights that Jones swung.

LEGATION of some of his poems
This weeks poem was taken from
the Spirit Of the Free" edited
by Ruth Lawrence and published
by Haven Press.
SUICIDE-THWARTED
He stood at the brink of pre-
cipice
Contemplating suicide,
And something whispered from
within
Consult life-ere you decide"
OH life, why so imperfect?
And life cried in elation:
Don't fault my God, nor me cor
rect,
But man and his ovation.
The little bird enjoys his life,
The ant improves his time;
It's only mans abusive strife
That wreck this holy cline.
The ripping stream goes swiftly
by,
The plants grow undisturbed;
It's only man fills life with signs
And make crime reign superb.
The sun, the moon, the stars are
light,
This earth's a Paradise
But man stands in his own sun
light
AS imperfection's vice.

BISHOP MANNING
PLEADS FOR A. M. E.
CHURCH UNITY

Continued from Page y
weeklies last week that ten AME
bishops had signed a petition
asking Sims removal as head of
the First District.
Immediate cause of the CON
troversy was the removal of the
Rev. J. A. Portloek from the inn
portant passionate of Bethel AME
Church. Harlem, to a small post
in Flushing. Pro-Portlock forces
had accused the AME Bishop of
retaliating against Rev. Portlock
for being one of the instigators OF
legal action demanding account
ing of the Sims administration.
Action of the Bishops Council
will probably be cloaked in
secrecy, it's members reputedly
believing that the connection has
already suffered Irreparably from
the giaring and controversial pub
licity.
Bishop Sims is alleged to be
enraged over reports of his pos
sible custer and, informants say,
is prepared to take off the gloves
and go down smuggling with the
charge that the Revs. Clark and
Portlock are mere paWns in the
historic battle which has arrayed
church factions against each
other.
Sims, his aid stated, will fol-
low counsel of his advisors and
name names-of at least one
General Officer--who he believes
have been masterminding a fight
against him for Interior motives.
One of those he was said to be
preparing to attack directly Isl
Bishop d. Ward Nichols, New
York, who, the Philadelphia
churchman's advisors have told
him, has engineered plan to
discredit the head of the First
district. Nichols, the Sims for
ces. believe, wants the district
himself and has given aid and
comfort to clergymen, laymen
and members of the Bishops
Council in the anti-Sims fight.
The Sims technique in the past
in time of church warfare--has
been to remain silent and give
orty cryptic comments when con-
tacted by the press. His ad-
visors have told him however,
that in order to beat we'll
organized campaign against him,
he will have to speak up per-
sonally and begin annexing some
favorable newspaper space. 1t
is reported that he has agreed
to these methods.
There was every indication that !
it would be hot time in Kansas
and might make the Jackson

room on the first floor, there are
