I Louis was heavier than he ha.
even been for a title bout. He
weighed 211 IA pounds. Maur.
iello weighed 1913 1-2.
In his dressing room after the
fight, Louis admitted that Maur-
iello had taken him completely by
surprise with the first right-hano
punch that had sent him reeling
into the ropes.
Louis said Mauriello fought the
kind of battle he expected him to
fight, but he, Joe, was slow get
ting started. Louis said he did
not know what punch finished
Tami because he was throwing too
many of them at the time to keep
track.
After answering reporters ques-

his own: at would have been over

Governor Thomas E. Dewey was
his first visitor after the fight.
The Governor and Joe talked for
about five minutes before the
press was admitted.

War Department
Stands Firm On
Draft Policy

Washington, D. c. Sept. -
| (NNPA) - The War Depart
ment, last Wednesday night, re-
affirmed it's position respecting the
suspension of voluntary enlistment
, and cancellation of jnductions Of
colored men into the Army follow
ing a suit to enjoin the alleged
discrimination filed in the United
States District Court, here last
Tuesday.
An Army spokesman said vol
untary enlistments of colored men,
except the former GI's with cert
ain occupational duty specialties,
was suspended in August because
the ratio of colored to white per-
sonnet in the Army, exceeded that
in the civilian population.
The Gillem Board in its report
on the effective utilization of color
ed personnel recommended that the
Army maintain a 10 per cent col
ored personnel ratio, he said, and
at the time voluntary enlistments
colored men were suspended, the
ratio was about 16 or II per cent.
Inasmuch as voluntary enlist
ments of colored men had been
suspended, the Army also decided
it would obtain no colored men
through Selective Service, in the
calls for induction, in the months
of September and October. Before
Selective Service officials were no.
titled the Army's decision, the
Selective Service had sent out calls
or induction of 500 colored men in
September, but local draft boards
were later notified to suspend in
duction of the colored men, Who
had been ordered to report.
The suit, which would compel
the Army to accept colored men
whether they volunteered or were
called up by Selective Service, was
brought by Robert R. Kelly, 10
year old graduate of Armstrong
High School, who was twice turned
down by the Army, although he

Louis Mauriello
In Savage One
Round Bout
LOUIS KAYOS MAURIELLO
IN ONE SAVAGE ROUND

New York (NNPA) = Surpris-
ed but unhurt by a right-hand
punch to the jaw, Joe Louis, the
heavyweight champion, unleashed
a savage attack that finished Tami
Mariello in 2 minutes 9 seconds of
the first round of their scheduled
15-round title bout at Yankee Sta
dunn last Wednesday night.
Mauriello almost knocked Louis
out of the ring with his surprise
right-hand smash. But Louis came
off the ropes swinging and blasted
the 23-year-old challenger from
the Bronx with a left hook that
shook Mariello to his toes. A
crushing right to the jaw follow
ed and Mauriello went down. Tami
tried to get up at the count of
five but decided to take the nine
second count. At "nine" the chal-
lenger was on his feet.
Louis ripped into his opponent.
In a short close-quarter skirmish,
while Louis hammered Tami's
body, head and face, Mauriello
came out of a defensive position
and shook Joe slightly with a
short left hand followed by a
right.
Mauriello's two blows failed to
slow up the champion. Joe back
ed away from a clinch, pressed
forward again and drove Mauriel-
10 about the ring with a barrage
of rights and lefts to the head,
some of which missed the target.
A left hook to the jay followed
by a lightening-like right hurt
Mauriello. Joe followed up his
advantage with a two listed body
attack as he beat Mauriello
against the ropes. A barrage of
punches dropped the challenger.
Maui iello sagged in a neutral
corner, falling to his knees, his
arms and head coming to rest on
the middle rope. He was in an
attitude of prayer as Referee Ar
thur Donovan tolled the full count
of ten over him.
Louis was unmarked as he left
the ring. The paralyzing punches
Of the champion left their marks
on Mauriello. Carried to his cor
ner by his manager, trainer and
second, Tami showed a slight cut
under his left eye, which was
bruised and crimsoned. His round
puffy face was distorted in pain
A crowd of 38,494, larger thar
anticipated, paid $335,063 at $50
to So to see the fight.

State Committee
Acts to Aid
State Farmers

! Jackson, Miss, Sept, %, 1916
Unlimited funds for assistance to
state farmers in carrying out fill
practices under the Agricultural
Conservation Program is the result
o recent action of the State PIMA
Committee, Mr.. w. E. Ammons,
State Contact Representative, PIMA
announced here today.
| Up to now, under the 1916 pro-
gram, the amount of assistance to
each Individual farm has been linn
tied. This limit was governed by
the amount of cropland and past
ure land on the farm. The purpose
| of the limit was to assure that each
farmer in the state had an OPP
portunity to use his share of the
six and one-third million dollars
made available in the state, under
the National Farm Conservation
Program. Reports from county
committees up to SepEember l,
Mr.. Ammons says, show that in
dividual farms for the entire state
have obtained county committee
approval for practices, that total
only $4,900,0OO, leaving a balance
of nearly one and one half million
dollars to be used before January
/, 1947. The purpose of the State
Committee in removing individual
farm limits, he said, is to permit
farmers who have already used
their farm limit, to obtain ALI
tional assistance in carrying out
practices. with the tremendous
need in Mississippi farm land for
erosion control and other conser-
vatino measures" Mr.. Ammons
said, 1--WE can i'll afford to fail to
use funds which Congress has hade
available for YARN conservation
practices" In most cases Federal
assistance amounts to 70 to80 per
cent the cost Of carving out the
practice.
Practices for which unlimited
assistance is available or the re-
mainder of 1916, are application
of triple superphosphate, applica-
ton lining materials, construction
of terraces fumes in gullies, stock
watering ponds, secondary drain
age bitches, firebreaks in farm
woodlands and for timber stand
improvement of farm woodland.
Farmers who desire assistance
or carrying out these practices"
Mr.. Ammons advised, SHOULD con-
tact the County AAA office where
additional incarnation and approval
0 the practice will be given"
The State AAA Committee, at
its last meeting, appealed to all
agriculture agencies of the state
to join in a concerted effort, to
assist state armers, in making a
maximum use conservation funds
which have been made availablei to
the state.
