Bomber Sets Non Title
Bout With Joe Wdlcott

NEW YORK, July 3l-lP,-Jer-
sey Joe Walcott of Camden, N. j.,
will climo into the Madison Square
Garden ring November Il TO face
Joe Louis without having, in
theory al least, a chance Of lift
ing the heavyweight champions
title.
The match, announced today by
Sol Strauss, acting director of the
Goth Century Sporting club, is bill
ed as a 10-tound non-title fight.
And inasmuch as bout must be
booked for Is rounds to be con-
sidered as championship fight
in New York, Walcort would seem
to be fighting OILY for any pres
tige he might attain. That, and
what is known as money.
However, the general idea
around Jacobs Beach is that
should Jersey Joe win by knock
out he would be regarded generally
as champion, ana even should he
win clean-cut decision he would
have at least an unofficial claim
to the title.
the National Boxing association
also recognizes only 15-round bouts
for the championship. excep: in
possible member states where 15-
round bouts are not permitted.
Prexy Abe Greene said that should
Walcott win by a kayo no connis-
sion could deny him title claim.
Although, according to the New
York rule, it is a non-title fight,
the fact Louis would, in the public
mind at least, be considered an
ex-champion were he to be knock
ed out makes it theoretically his
oath title defense.
According TO the records, NO
boxing champion has ever lost
his crown by knockout in such a
non-title affair.

Pepper Urges Shipment
OF Jews 10 Holy Land
By fhe Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 12.-Senator
Pepper, Democrat OF Florida, told a
Palestine liberation dinner last night
that they only solution of the Pales-
tine problem Is the transfer of large
numbers of Jews there to create a
jewish majority, prerequisite OF "a
Jewish state.
The Senator was the principal
speaker at the dinner sponsored by
the United Zionist -Revisionists OF
America to observe the 25th anniver-
sary of "the official international
recognition of Palestine as the ma
tional home for the Jewish people
Senator Pepper characterized
British policy in Palestine as "a
long, sad story of inaction, vacilla-
ton and violation Of the mandate"
of the League of Nations. He said
Britain should either carry out the
mandate or turn the mandate over
to the United Nations.
The Palestine problem" he said,
Elf not radically solved in accord
ance with the grim realities Of the
Jewish problem, is bound to make
the Holy Land the most explosive

Without claiming to speak for
the White House, Senator Murray
and his co-sponsors said their SUBJ

planned to speak out against the

visers are said to be urging him to

possible balancing move to a veto of

Eonly to curb union abuses, will not
put curbs on legitimate union ac-

Senate. To date actual cuts have
failed to uphold the rate called for
by either the Senate or House.
Senator Taft obviously hopes to
be armed with an agreement on
spending cuts before the Republi-
cans undergo a Democratic barrage
intensified by pot shots from some
COP henderson the tax reduc-
ton bill
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont, a frequent dissenter on
party policy matters, and Senator
Wilson, Republican, of Iowa, who
goes off the reservation occasionally,
also said they want to know the
spending totals before they vote on
taxes.
Democrats have lost no opportu-
nifty to point out that for more than
two months the Republicans haven't
been able to agree on how deep the
pruning knife shall go.
They have shouted that the Re-
publicans are trying to whittle Gov
ernment costs at the expense of self
liquidating projects. They have con-
tended that debt reduction should
come before tax cuts.
The COP leaders have heard some
of the same tunes played within
their own party's ranks both in and
out of Congress.
Gov. Warren Of California, often
mentioned as possible first or sec
ond place COP nominee in 1948,
aimed indirect criticism at the
party's congressional leadership on
q week end visit here.
At a news conference, Gov. War
ren called for balancing the budget
and q substantial" debt reduction
before there are any tax cuts-a
position most congressional Demo-
Gratis have taken.
ITO Much Haste" Cited.
He said there had been too much
haste" in removing price and other
controls, a move that had the active
support of Senator Taft and other
Republican legislative leaders.
The California Governor also
talked of the effect that House ac-
ton in cutting appropriations for
Western reclamation projects might
have on "the political judgment OF
the people" in that section. He said
the reaction would be politically bad
for the Republicans.
If this seemed sharp criticism to
those in charge of the Legislative
program. they could take some
solace from the action of II Western
State chairmen of their party at q
meeting in Indianapolis.
The party officials adopted a res
olution approving the work OF the
COP leadership in Congress. They
sidetraeked, however. a proposal
which would have censured party
members who haven't always gone
/ along.
