LOUIS CONFIDENT
 OF WINNING FIGHT
 ON FRIDAY NIGHT
By TED SMITS

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-tR-Cold- ly confident, Joe Louis closes hard training today for his world heavy weight title defense against Jersey Joe Walcott in Madison Square Garden Friday night.
 T will win said Joe as he pre- pared to do a final four rounds publicly at Pompton Lakes, N. J, and then rest up for his 24th fight as champion. Walcott, hopeful but silent, shut the gates on his last workout at Grenloch, N. J.
 Louis will weigh PIP pounds, the heaviest by a few ounces of his entire career, compared to Wal cott's 192, for the 15-round fight.
 The fight between the two 33- year-old negroes could draw gate Of S261,000 at the Garden, of which Louis gets 45 percent and Walcott 15. It is Louis first fight since he knocked out Tami Mau- riello in one round at Yankee Stadium Sept. IS, 1946. The odds are 6-5 that Walcott will not come out for the fourth round.

kfI otlltl al oPOl lS E1tlIlOlj
 NEW YORK, Dec B. R-Notre Dame and Michigan, as befits the victorious records of these mid- western football giants, dominates the l947 Associated Press All America squad announced today.
 Johnny Lujack, Notre Danes superb T formation quarterback, is the only repeater from l946, and is joined on the first team by William Fischer, sturdy Irish guard, Notre Danes tackles, Ziggy Czar- obski and George Connor, are on the second and third teams.
 Master of Michigan's offense, Bob Chappuis, is in the first back field, with Bob Mann, Michigan's great offensive end, and Chalm- CTS Elliott, regarded by many as back almost the equal of Chap puis, on the second team. Lenny Ford, Michigans towering defen- sive end, is on the third team.
 Thus each has four on the squad, with Notre Dame the only college to place two on the first team.
 Other first team members are: Qul Cleary, Southern California, and Bill Swiacki, Columbia, ends; Bob Davis, Georgia Tech, and Dick Harris, Texas, tackles; Steve Suhey, Penn State, guard; Charles Bed- narik, Pennsylvania, center; Ray Evans, Kansas. and Doak Walker, Southern Methodists, backs.
 Geographically the first team represents four Midwesterners, three Fasteners, three men from the South and Southwest, and one from the Far West
 Selected on the basis of reports from more than 250 Associated Press sports editors and staff writ CTS, the composition of the first three teams reflects the years trend to team play rather than individual brilliance.

Imper als vs. NFM

With Garcia carrying the ball, the VFW team got off to head start in the second game of the evening and at the end of the first quarter had a four point lead over the Imperial quintet. In the sec ond quarter, Merritt of the Imper- ials started to spark with his famous left corner shots and made three baskets in succession.
 In the third and fourth quarter both teams were playing scrappy ball, with the Imperials leading in the scoring, Powers and Vuille sinking the baskets. The final score was Imperial Al; VFW 26.
 The Imperial squad, who were second in the Gastineau Channel Lague last year, showed experience ed playing throughout the evening, but the VFW team, playing for the first time, will probably end up near the top of the ladder this years if they put out more of the same ball handling in later games. High man for the Imper- ials was Powers, with l2 points, and Garcia was top scorer with 10 points for the VFW

The J-High's Crimson Bears. winners of last years Gastineau Channel Basketball Tournament, are on their way to chalk up anoth- CT Channel record. Last night in the first game of the season, they downed the ACS boys by score of 51 to 10. Fast ball handling and a zone defense that kept the Signacs away from the basket fea- tured the Bears playing during most of the game.
 Schmitz, Sperling and Graves got off to a fast start and totaled up 12 points in the first few min utes of play. The Crimson Bears held to the ball and by fast drib- bling and good passing worked it up under their basket. The team capitalized on numerous intercep- tions of the Signacs ball. The first quarter ended, Bears l4, SN- macs O.
 In the second quarter. Coach Avrit put in the second string. David Graves, only freshman on the Crimson Bears squad, starred for the second string. He sunk a long one from the double line and succeeded in dropping two more baskets before he quit playing Other high point men on the sec ond string included Smithberg who made three baskets, and Sonder- land who sank two baskets and made the only free throw for the Crimson Bears.
 First Points By ACS
 Jimmie Meyers for the Signacs won the first points of the eve ming for the ACS, when he sank two baskets near the end of the third quarter. In the last quart CT, the Crimson Bears returned their first string to the floor, and the squad started to go to town with Schmitz and Logan in the lead.

THE RIGHT TO WORK

AS debate in Congress over
proposed labor legislation wears
on, 1t becomes evident that deci-
sive action must be taken to out
law three practices which have
given a few labor leaders mono
polisitc powers over the industries
of this nation and subjected the
right of man to. earn a living
to their none-too-tender mercies.
First, is the closed shop. The
closed shop means that you can
not work unless you pay a pri-
vate organization, the union, for
this basic right of a free men.
Thus the right of a man to buy
food and shelter to provide for
his family is involved. In the
words of the Portland Oregonian,
the closed shop ''is morally in
compatible with a system of gov
eminent which guarantees the
freedom of the individual and it
is no longer necessary for pro-
lection of unionism."
Second, is the closed union.
This is a vicious extension of the
closed shop idea, whereby a man
cannot join union if he chooses.
A privileged group says, in eff
feet: only those of our choosing
may be employed in this trade
or craft"
Third. is industry-wide bar
gaining. This is designed to bring
union power to a new, monopo-
listic high. One big union signs
agreements with all or practically
all of the producers of a pro-
duct. Then, if the union head de-
cides to call strike, all produc-
ton of that product stops as of

a given moment. Soft coal is a
perfect example. At the word of
one man, representing only 400,-
900 workers, commodity which
is vitality necessary to the opera
ton of industry, the employment
of millions of people, and the pub
lie health and welfare itself, can
be denied the nation - regard
less of the suffering that must
result.
The closed shop is the first of
these abuses = all the others de-
pend on it. Unionism grew great
in this country because the unions
offered workers services which
they needed and were willing to
pay for. Now unionism demands
the right to levy an involuntary
tax on all workers under penalty
of denying him employment. No
private organization should be
allowed such powers. We have
reached the point where the right
of a man NOT to join union
must be protected, no less than
his privilege to join if he wishes.

ATLANTA, Ga. = I'VE must not
pity ourselves because we are
treated as step-children in the
greatest democracy in the western
world" DR.. William Lloyd lines,
president of Knoxville College,
told students and faculties of
the Atlanta Negro colleges at
the Fifth Annual University Cen
ter Convention last week in Sister
Chapel. Spelman College.
I'VE must not parade our mar
tyrdon as though we were the
only ones on this planet who are
or have been mistreated," he con-
tinued. Look at 700 years of Irish
suffering, 200 years of East Indian
serfdom, the orrible evils of South
Africa against her natives, the
vile pogroms of Poland against tn
East European Jews, and the
orld-wide effort to keep decay
ing and rotten Imperialism rather
than to build a new world based
on brotherhood"

a program should be necessary.
However, to know that it is ne
cessary. you need only to consult
your daily newspaper or your
circle of acquaintance. Today,
more than ever. every American
can count himself extremely for
tunate to be citizen of this great
republic. While other nations
are torn by religious hatreds aud
discussions, the United States re-
mains an unique bulwark or po-
itical and religious freedom.
American Brotherhood Week is
designed to remind all citizens
of the traditions of liberty and
tolerance which binds us as a ma
ton. The National Conference
of Christians and Jews, which
sponsors the observance, was
founded in 1928 on the initiative
of Charles Evans Hughes, New
ton D. Baker, and other disting-
uished Americans. Its bylaws
define it as IAN association of in
dividuals, not of officials COM
missioned by their respective re-
ligious bodies. 1t does not aim
at any sort of union or amalgga-
nation of religious bodies nor at
modifying any of the distinctive
beliefs of its members.
