hanson if he wanted to fight,
%whereupon the farmer knocked
him down.
Cause then drew a knife, said
Mrs. Williamson, and Williamson
went to the porch to fetch his
gun. The farmer told the Negro
to move on down the road and
fired two shots in the air Scoop
er" went in the direction of a
neighbours house, stopping once to
shout that he would "get" Will
hanson. Luke Cause had taken
no part in the quarrel.

PRESIDENT URGES
APPROVAL OF Gao
Senate Told Airlines OF
Nation May Suffer
Overseas

WASHINGTON, June II - up -
President Truman urged the Senate
Tuesday to approve United States
membership in an international
organization to regulate civil
aviation.
In a special message, he declar-
ed it is vital that the Senate catlfy
at this session the International
Convention of Civil Aviation which
the late President Roosevelt sub
mitted to it on March IL, 1945.
The treaty worked out at an in
ternational meeting in Chicago in
the fall of 1914 provides that it is
to become operative when ratified
by 26 nations, Mr.. Truman noted,
adding:
SAT the present time, nine gov
ernments have already ratified the
convention, but it is plain that
many others are withholding action
pending ratification by this coun-
try. x X x
Lines May surfer
1--WE need also to consider the
possibility that, if we hold back,
the permanent organization may
eventually be established without
our participation. In that event,
our airlines might be forced to
operate in foreign countries under
regulations which we had no part
in framing, and which might ad-
versely affect our aircraft and air
transport INDUSTRIES"
The President said the conven-
ton did two things:
J. "Q) 1t restates and codifies the
accepted principles of information
al law pertaining to air naviga-
ton;
go 1t provides for the establish
ment of an international civil avia-
ton organization"
This organization, Mr.. Truman
added, will develop international
standards for airWorthiness of air.

 Little Rhody Nine

Dick Harris, Invader 1st base man, covers the initial sack in fine style, and is a great power hit ter, his long, left-handed drives comm nding the respect of rival right-felders. He has several ex- tra base hits to his credit. His teammate, Gene Perry, also ham, mers the ball hard. Gene's circuit smash in deep left field against the Newman Crosby team was one of the longest clouts seen at Hope Field this season.
 The Eagles can likewise boast of two sluggers in the Lewis brothers, Ernie and Jimmy; while Newell Roberts and switch-hitter Ray Edmunds of Holy Rosary are likely to break up a close game any time they stand at the plate. The great competitive spirit of their teammates and catcher, Err nie Duarte, is a valuable asset to the team. Ernie, nicknamed "Hal Wagner" never stops hustling, and keeps his team on it's toes. Alert, and the possessor of a fine throwing arm, he is speedy enough on the base-paths to beat out many an infield hit.

SWIMMING
By George A. David

Many of you have practiced Lo- comotion without the use of your hands. Have you had any diff culty? If so write me about it.
 Now let's begin to swim. We can stay on the surface, we can hold our breath, we can kick now let's use our hands and arms.
 Begin the layout by kicking drive the right hand upward out of the water, slightly above it's surface-then incline the hand and wrist about 45 degrees into the water, down, down, and around, forcing the water back and making a complete follow through until the thumb touches the thigh. Do likewise with the left hand as the right hand com pletes it's process. Follow up, back, with the right hand until you have coordinated both arms into a continuity of strokes. Ex- ert pressure against the water 30, as to push the body forward.
 Try this until you can propsI and stroke at least 30 feet. Keep up this until next week, when we will begin kicking, stroking and breathing in coordination.

THE HUMIDITY MAY BE TOUGH ON YOU BUT IT HAS BROUGHT A BOOST TO
 BOXING

New York - We don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but in this teeming jungle of brick and stone it's as hot as blazes, and as sticky as a two-hour stint in a Turkish bath. Most of the natives around here aren't using any more brain power than is necessary to keep them out of the sun and in the shade of one of the tall buildings. Not so with Uncle Mike Jacobs, however. He is doing his swiftest brain work right now in the midst of this 'broiling season, and the only thought he gives to the heat is a cercenary one. Just before one of his big events is scheduled to go on, he hopes the sun doesn't get too hot and burn up the cus- toners as they stand in line to buy tickets. Also he worries about the humidity rising to the satura- tion point, spilling rain all over the place, thus keeping some of the addicts at home with their ears glued to a radio.
 The hottest night we've had so far this sizzling season is the one Jacobs picked to trot out light heavyweight champ Bob Mont gomery, who has been under wraps these past two years, in the service of his Uncle Sam, who seems to have had all of the champs under contract. Monty walked out into the blazing Friday night heat and got right down to the business of whaling the living |foejeepers out of Allie Stolz, who evidently has not heard of the Billy Conn method of fighting for title, and put up a good battle in consequence. Sto1z, notwith- standing the many trips he made to the canvas, was a worthy op- ponent, and might have, as the lady reporter in the seat next to mine pointed out, got down on the floor so frequently because it was cooler down there. We'll, it is true that heat rises, and it probably was cooler on the canvas, but, in my opinion, that was because Bob Montgomery wasn't on the canvas throwing leather.
 Montgomery Fight Pleased Fans It, was a fight that pleased the fans, and they hollered and booed and hissed in their best Madison Square Garden manner. Montgom- cry is champion only in New York and Pennsylvania, which is really all that matters, but he should get a chance to annex the rest o1 the territory, for he's certainly got what it takes.
 While Montgomery was in the l ring working over Stolz, Mike la. cobs was in his office checking ove, the take, but in the back of his 1 mind were preparations for the August 21 welterweight champion.

Paul Robesoll, Jr. Completes Basic

San Antonio, Texas--With no grand entrance in an operatic style, Paul Robeson, IT,, son of the great singer and actor, ar rived at the AAF Military Train ing Center here, where he is cur rently completing basic training.
 Paul, Jr., has no need of cash ing in on his fathers good name. For the younger Robeson made a good name for himself in the world of sports before entering the Army Air Forces in May.
 First-string end in his freshman year and first string halfback as sophomore at Cornell Univers- ity in Ithica, N. Y., Paul did a lot to bolster CGrl Snavely's "Big Red" at that institution. And re- gently, at the Texas AAU Outdoor Track and Field Competition ir San Antonio, he leaped 6:5 in the high jump to take third place ir the event as a member of the track team representing the train ing center.
