French Vet Star Held Euen by Fla. UnknoUn

Newport, R. l., Aug. 14-UP)- The setup for an upset was perfect today at the NeWpost Casino in- vitational tennis tournament where the new international star, Won Petra of France faced Frank Guern- sey, an eager underdog who battled him to an exact tie in a rain- sSortened match yesterday.
 Petra, winner of the all-England championship at Wimbledon, and the unseeded Guernsey from Orlan- do, Fla, couldn't have been more evenly matched The set score stood at 6-3, 3-6, 11-11 and the play was at Deuce in their second round match with Guernsey serving when rain sent them hurrying for cover. Guernsey won the first set, driv- | ing Petra to the baseline and then scoring with clever troy shots or cross-count smashes. He also was effective with volleyS which the tall and powerful Petra couldn't match. After some difficulty, Petra finally got his powerful serVlce functioning in the second set, but he fought an uphill fight to stay in the tourna- ment in the marathan third set. On three occasions, in the 18th, 18th and 20th games Guernsey was only two points away from victory when Petra rallied.

WoIcott, Gomez Fight Friday

New York, Aug. 1.-The spectac- ular rise of Jersey Joe Walcott, Camden, N J., heavyweight, during the past eighteen months reminds boxing men of the career of Jim Braddock who became known as "The Cinderella Man" when he came out of retirement to battle his way up to the heavyweight title.
 Less than two years ago Walcott was also in retirement, working on the docks in New Jersey. His had been an up-and-down ring career which was getting him absolutely nowhere in the fistie world. And so he decided to get himself a job where the income, though smaller than that which a top-fight heavy weight usually gets, was certainly steadier.
 Thenk along came Vic Marsillo, New Jersey fight manager, who con- vinced Walcott he should give box ing one more try. Walcott was re- luctant to return to the ring but MarSillo persuaded him to attempt a comeback.
 Beat "Name" Fighters
 Starting off early in 1945 Walcott began compiling record which to- day has reached imposing propor- tions. After few victories over minor opponents he began taking on the better names of boxing and they turned out to be just as easy as the "soft touch" opponents.
 He disposed of Joe Baksi in ten rounds, followed that with a fifth round kayo of Steve Dudas, won in nine rounds from Lee e. Murray, knocked out Curtis Sheppard in ten, outpointed Jimmy Bivins in ten, defeated Lee Oma in ten.
 This string of victories lifted Wal colt to the forefront of heavyweight contenders. On Friday night he en- counters one more hurdle in the form of Tommy Gomez, hard punching heavyweight from Tampa, Fla, who has belted out 43 foes in 56 contests. They meet in the head line ten-rounder at Madison Square A.~

HOUSING NEEDS CITED

CHICAGO, Aug. 27 (ANP)-An
Chicago's Negro population, includ-

comprises the group hardest hit by
the city's critical housing shortage,
report prepared jointly by the Hi
nois State Housing board and the
National Housing agency's regional
office declared last week.
Submitted by Gov. Dwight H.
Green's housing committee, the re-
port presented data to show that the
Negro housing problem here, seri-
Gus before the war, was dangerously
aggravated during and since the
war.
Hope for alleviation of the sltua-
ton, stumbling block to progress
of the nations second largest city,
seemed dim. The government agen-
CIV stressed the lack of land for con-
struction in the ''hlack ghetto" Sec

xxx Raped AT LEGION CONVENTION

CHICAGO, Apr. 27 (ANP)-
The Ku Klux Klan and other race
hate organizations were condemned
here during the 18th annual con-
vention of the state American Le-
gion.
An anti-KKK resolution con-
demned the organization and it's
officers as dangerous and hostile
to the unity and well-being of our
country and urged "all proper Off
cials and governmental authorities"
to take appropriate action to curb
and eradicate the activities of this
un-American organization"
A resolution relating to "subver-
sive and racket" groups also at

ment as one of the groups that ped

WALLACE HITS uses
SEGREGATION AGAINST
UNEMPLOYED NEGROES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 (ANP)
segregation in the u S.
Employment service for the ma
TONS capital was hit by Secy. of
Commerce Henry A. Wallace in a
letter to Secy. of Labor Schwellen-
bach.
Wallace cited specifically separ-
ate lines for interview purposes and
separate application files for whites
and Negroes to the labor secretary,
under whose department the local
District of Columbia USES office
operates, and pointed out that such
segregation serves to reduce the
scope" of Negro employment op-
portunities."
The secretary of commerce polite
ly shifted personal responsibility
from Schwellenbacf's shoulders by
telling him 81 know that your per-
sonal views unquestionably favor
an equitable employment policy
which will insure all unemployed
persons the fairest possible consid-
Grafton for employment regardless
of race, creed or national origin"
Wallace's letter supports the
charge made sometime ago against
the USES by the United Public
Workers of America (CIO), a fed
eral workers union, after President
Truman ordered all federal agep-
cies to cease discrimination in en-
ployment because of race, creed or
color. The practice of racial segre-
cation and discrimination had be-
come prevalent among government
agencies, the President said.
While reply from the depart
ment of labor was being awaited.
Fred Hetzel, director of the local
USES office, denied discrimination
against Negroes seeking employ

SHRINERS demand Sen.
BILB0 IMPEACHMENT

PHILADELPHIA, August n
(ANP)-A special session of con-
gress to impeach Sen. Theodore G.
Bilbo d., Miss.), pass federal anti
lynch laws and order federal troops
to Mississippi and Georgia "to pre-
serve peace on the home front" was
demanded by Shriners in conven-

A petition listing these objectives
and signed by 5000 members of the
Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Of
the Mystic Shrine was presented by
Imperial Potentate Raymond E.
Jackson, Buffalo, N. Y, to Edgar

About 1900 members of the or

Zouave bands and half dozen other
musical units before a lunchtime
crowd estimated at 100000.
Brown told the convention that
100000 citizens, Negro and white,
have signed petitions to President
Truman for the special session.
He urged that a signer be OBJ
tanned for each of the 1,OOO,O 900 Ne
groes who served in the army and
navy in World War II, and the
Pennsylvania quota of 100000 sig
natures would be sought in cam

u. 5. LIFTS CONTROLS
ON SOUPS

ON SOUPS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-Price
lyids came off the nations canned
and frozen soups today.
At the same time OPA moved to
reduce costs of mems and womens
suits and to improve the uneven
sugar supply.
OPA removed price ceilings on
canned and frozen soups with the
explanation that this was required
by terms of the new control act be-
cause current and future supplies
appear adequate to meet needs of
domestic consumers.
Freed from controls were all con-
licensed ready-to-serve soups, includ-
ing broths, bouillons, consommes
and chowders.
In another move the agency
raised maximum import prices on
copra, the white meat of coconuts
and crude coconut oils from the
Philippine islands. Copra was
raised so cents a ton and oil .08
cent pound.
These actions came as industries
began push to rid themselves of
price controls.
Meanwhile, OPA warned sugar
WHOLESALERS and retailers that their
ration bank accounts will be CLOSED
out if they are overdrawn.
These accounts were set up il
banks SO sugar sellers could get al
initial supply before they collected
sugar ration stomps from individ
ual customers. These stamps the1
were turned back to rebuild tn
Dank accounts.
Under the new regulation ;
wholesaler or retailers must repa,
any withdrawal. within Is days. L
this is not done, or if a second over
draft is reported, the account will
be closed and the dealer required t
surrender to OPA his ration check
and check books.
The attempt to reduce consume
costs of suits. for men and womel
came through an order revising tn
pricing rules on woolen and worste
fabrics for jobbers. 1t limits tn
number of sales of short lengtl
goods by any jobber.
Previously OPA allowed jobber
higher markup on goods bough
! in short lengths than those bough
by piece lots or bolts.
