RAY ROBINSON
WINS BY KAYO

NEW YORK = The 1900 fans
who turned out in Madison Square
Garden for a fight card for the
entertainment of the Legion con-
vention got a rough demonstration
of rocket on the prowl. They
saw Ray Robinson throw a couple
of punches.
Sugar Ray is the welterweight
champion, and he was advertised
to box 10 rounds with Flashy Sc
bastian, who is billed as the cham
pion of the Orient. 1t took the
Harlem Hammer exactly 1 minute
and 2 seconds to put the chill on
the Flash.
1t was no trick at all for Ray
to put the crusher on. Sebastion,
after trying to get UP at the count
of s and falling flat on his nose,
took the full 10 count He weigh
ed 147A pounds to Robinson's 1852.
Sandy Saddler, New York Negro,
became the ranking contender for

championship by stopping the

up bout.

'HOSTAK BEATS
.BELLOISE

AS we predicted in this column
of August 20, Steve Belloise, with
everything to lose and nothing to
gain even If he beat AL Hostak,
was decisiyely defeated by the
Georgetown slugger when the two
met at the Civic Ice Arena August
26. Hostak, using his head for
something other than a hat rack
for about the first time in the
prize ring, fought the smartest
fight of his career. He backed up
when necessary. avoided punish
ment, and timed his punches to
the end that Belloise never got a
chance to land his much talked of
sleep-producing punch. Hostak
floored Belloise in the second
round, broke his nose and beat
him handily. We still think the Sc
attic boy ranks among the few
best middleweights in the world
today, and that he must be reck-
oned with as long as he can crawl
into the ring and hit an opponent
on a vital spot.
In other bouts, Tony Chaves,
San Jose, won an exciting eight
round semi-winup from Hal Halo
way. Tacoma, by coming off the
floor after three knockdowns in
the first round and flooring Hal
loway four times before the end
of the fight.
Henry Lee won a four-round de-
cision from Dick Abney of Salem,
Ore. Felix Ramirez, San Fran
cisco, beat Jess Mitchell in four
rounds. George Robb won from
Billie Bledsoe in the four-round
curtain-raiser, and Warren Hol-
land, outweighed at least IL
pounds by Freddie Wallace, was
not match for the Lake City boy.
Wallace is a pretty good country
| light-heavy and the promoters
should try to bring in some wor-
they opponents for him to meet.
| The next boxing ward will be
held on September %, bringing to-
gether the best fighters available
for the occasion.

The fact that pominent student
leaders in the University of Texas
1.-THE student body is wholly white)
have held meetings to support the
admission of Negro students to the
university is indicative of the new
attitude toward race relations in
some parts and among some
groups of the white South. Efforts
to tear down the iron curtain of
prejudice, segregation and discrim-
nation between the two racial
groups are not as vigorous as they
should be, but efforts are being
made and on a greater scale than
ever before.

Plymouth Road
Building Begins

improvements of the road link
ing Kennewick to Plymouth will
be started Immediately after the
July 4th holiday, II. E. Oliver,
chairman of the committee on
roads, reported today to the Kenn-
ewick Chamber Of Commerce.
The highway running west from
the heart of the city is to be built
to state highway specifications
to the point Of turning south to
Plymouth and continued for a
mile beyond that intersection.
The Washington State High
way Department has assigned
approximately $4,000 to the i'm
provement of the remainder of
the Plymouth road, he said. Two
separate jobs are to be set up.
One, totaling to an expenditure
of an estimated $4,000, will be
concerned with the straigtening
of curves, the installation Of
guard rails, and the broadening
of shoulders. The remainder Of
the money will be expended in
oil surfacing the road.
The Plymouth road is expected
to assume increasing importance
as work on the McNary Dam is
accelerated.

KenneWick residents will be
given the opportunity to dance,
so that others may walk, when
the Columbia Basin Shrine club
presents its Dance and Game
Carnival at the Griggs Building

activity throughout the country
mas long been devoted. The ser
vices and facilities of the Shrin-
ers' hospitals are free to any child
up to IA years of age, regardless
of race, color, or creed, in those
many cases where parents are un-
able to roaffd sending the child
to hospital for treatment.
The Columbia Basin Shrine
Club, a comparatively new or
ganization in this area, already
has established an enviable re-
cord in assisting the national pro-

missioner, estimated today.
The $31 900 contract of the
Standard Asphalt. companp OF

Harold Blanton, engineer in
charge, has under consideration
|Stradling's recommendation that
the entire strip be finished with
an oil seal coat approximately
five eighths of an inch thick.
If the proposal is not adopted the
strip will be torn up and relaid.
Three miles of the new surfac-
ing are in the Garden Tracts,
Stradling said, with five miles in
the city proper, and an estimated
mile in the alleys of the city.
Commenting on the concurrent
county road Improvement pro-
gram, County Road Supervisor
Lou Keene, speaking for the
Board of County Commissioners,
said:
"The County Commissioners
have just completed an extensive
road oiling program in this road
district, and request the coopera-
ton of the public n preserving
the roads. They call attention to
the state law prohibiting the op-
Grafton of vehicles with Tugs on
the wheels and sharp shod animal
from using bituminous paved
highways. The commissioners
have no desire to invoke the pen
alties of the law, but must insist
upon proper precautions in the
use of the highways.

industrial power consumers of
the area, he predicted. As soon
as a heavier sub-station, and and
additional transmission lines are
built in Kennewick locality, the
PUD staff will be able to restore
interrupted electrical service, il
cut off by storm or other causes,
with minimum of delay.
Already, Cruzen noted, it Is no
longer necessary to patrol the
full eighteen miles of line to
discover a cause of power failure.
Improved equipment makes ii
possible for service crews to re-
store power to section after Sec
ton of the line network as their
search brings them closer to the
center of interruption. ass @
Summing up the activity of
the past ten months, Cruzen COM
mented that in the brief period
PUD administrators have been
able to establish a modern plant
in Kennewick and to train per-
clerical to construction assign
sonnet for all phases of work, from

Manager r. "A. Cruzen this week
pointed to the rapid develop
ment and Improvement of PUD
service and facilities in the few
months of public ownership.
Foremost in the list of recent
improvements is the new ware

in April and now in full opera
ton. The new building, 50x88
and finished in corrugated alum
mum, houses the engineering and
line extension Office; a repair
shop for meters and transformers
completely equipped with the late

of having seen the flying sau-
GERS"
Early Monday morning6:30
early-whi1e Mrs. Lane K. Lar
son was preparing breakfast be-
fore her kithen window, facing
south, she saw the so-called
flying saucer fit by. It was going
due east, she said, and judging
by the speed Of airplanes, was
many, many times faster.
The Saucer" she said, was a
dazzling white and going SO fast
that she was unable to see wheth-
er it had propellers or engines or
what. AS a matter of fact, she
thinks the word Saucer is all
wrong, as the thing looked more
like white ball.
Her theory as to what the
saucer is, is as good as. any so
I far guessed at. She thinks it is a
gathering of something resulting
from the four atomic bombs that
this country has dropped. She
thinks it might be highly explo-
sive or extremely dangerous at
least and she wants no further
part of it.
Mrs. Larson's theory found sup
port in the suggestion of E. ].
Thurston.
ssThose flying sdisc-saucers' are
nothing but gas or vapour CLOUDS
from the Bikini tests. The gas
went so high it is just coming
down low enough for us to see.
You remember they said moth
ing could live where they drop
ped the first atomic bomb IN
Later they cut that down to
5 years for the Bikini test: And
| if they were manmade and 1en'
they could be found.
Another saucer witness is Mrs.
James Pratt, who viewed the soar
ing discs from the doorway OF her
home at Park View Homes. In
the company of Mrs. E. L. kenn1-
son, she sighted two Of the air
borne mysteries st 4:53 pm:

HISTORY

BY way Of a reminder it might
be said that the recreation pro-
gram is something new. During
the war, when the city was espec-
tally crowded, the rec program
was handled by the USO. Last
year the Kennewick City Council
showed vision in setting up a
Recreation Commission to spon-
sor continued program. It is
now a fact. It is our studied
opinion that the director and the
commission should not feel dis
outraged with a lack of interest.
It remains for the commission to
Guild a program that will meet
The needs and the wishes Of the
entire community. And we be-
sdeve they can do it.
