Curtis Sheppard Outpoints Rival
" ,s

Baltimore, (NNPA). - Curtis (Hatchetman) Sheppard, local favorite, outpointed Johnny Shkor of Boston, in a ten-round heavyweight bout at the Coliseum Monday night, August 26.
 Shepard proved a smarter and quicker punching fighter than Shkor. He got the better of the in-fighting, and at long range the Hatchetman was not only quicker but landed with considerably more force. But Shkor absorbed all that the Hatchetman sent his way and was never in distress.
 The fight was scored seven rounds for Shepard, two for Shkor and one round even.
 Long before the heavyweights climbed into the ring the Colise- um was sold out. A total of 5,519 fans paid a gross of $16,OO5.25 and a net of $12,296.99 to see the fight.

Violent Ray Gains Knockout

Brooklyn, (NNPA) - Elmer (Violent) Ray of Hastings, Flori- da, who boasts a long string of knockouts, added one more vic tim to his list Wednesday night, August 28, when he stopped Lee SavoId of Paterson, New Jersey, who once was gocI heavy weight, in 1:39 of the second round of their scheduled ten round bout at Ebbets Field.
 There was not much to the fight. After Ray had weathered Savold's opening rush and landed his first one-two, it was obvious that the fight would not last long. The knockout was the first Savold has been subjected to since Harry Bobo stiffened him in a like num- Der of rounds five years ago.
 Ray went about his job in a Workmanlike manner. He ham mered home savage straight lefts and right crosses that stunned Savold and reddened his blond face.
 Savold came out swinging to start the second round and held his own through a few hot ex- changes. But Rays sharper pun ching soon made him back away. Elmer's straight right caught Sa- void on the jaw, and Savold went down, halfway through the lower rope into the apron. He took count of six on one knee.

cent salary, so they can meet their
increased costs of living" he said.
He added, however, he was con-

The Federation of Citizens As.

Federal Government to double its

trict's annual operating costs.
Pointing out that additional rev.
enue is necessary to meet increased
costs, largely due to heavier de.
mands for municipal services fur.
nished to the Federal Government
a resolution urged that a more
equitable Federal contribution be
made.
The Federation also opposed the
imposition of any additional taxes
on District citizens. 1t urged the
following alternatives for raising
additional revenue:
l. Removal from the District bud
get Of all items pertaining to activi-
ties and properties of the Federal
Government, such as the, National
Geological Park, the policing OF
; parks belonging to the United States
and all items of capital expenditure
> for the purchase of sites or the
construction of buildings of a ma
tional character.
School Charge Favored.
2. Payment of tuition by nonresi-
dent children attending public
schools in the District, In accord
ance with existing law.
3. Revision of the local income
tax law to require the payment of
income tax by all residents" of the
District who receive their income
. here, regardless of claims of "domi-
\ cile" elsewhere.
The Federation asked the Public
Utilities Commission to grant trans
fer stop-over privileges along street.
car and bus routes even where there
is no cross-line. At present stop
over privileges apply only to cross
line points.
1t urged the extension of stop-over
privileges at the request of the
Southwest Citizens Association
which reported that the lack of suf-
ficient cross-points in its area where
a person could shop while trans
ferring, worked hardships on busi-
nessmen and residents there.
Want Terminal Enlarged.

the bus terminal on the south side
of Pennsylvania avenue at Thir-
teenth street NV. be enlarged so
asto provide additional loading plat
forms. It's Public Utilities Commit
tee said the present situation 'is
far from satisfactory. There is
too much jostling and confusion and
the principle of first come, first
served is not being carried out" the
report read.

bus service from downtown to the
Manor Park area be improved.
The citizens group also went on
record as opposing the extension of
the present tourist camp in East

leave the Districts recreational
system without adequate facilities.

Since VI day, the increasing
number of coatless officers seen in
the beverage bars has borne mute
testimony to the gradual letdown in
the martial spirit which once was
the pride of the desk brigade in the
Pentagon. During the war days
stenographers clicked along the cor
ridors bearing trays of coffee and
sandwiches for officers who had
neither the time nor the inclination
to walk the distance of several city
blocks.
Now it is rather a common sight
to see a colonel in shirtsleeves
marching down the corridor bearing
his own tray, and even an occa-
sional coatless general has been
seen outside his Office.
