Calls Editorial on

Unbiased and Mapnificen

Editor: Your editorial - . con-
corning Henry Wallace and the
third party is the most unbiased
literary article that / have read
pertaining to the 1913 election cam
paign.
In contrast to your magnificent
piece Of work, two of your column
lists evidently guided by their politi-
cal affiliations, demonstrate by
their red-baiting statements that
they would make satisfactory cor
respondents for the Un-American

Editor:
Your readers will be interested
to know that your excellent column
list, Nell Dodson Russell, is not
alone in her doubts about Henry
Wallace.
Mr.. Walter White, Executive
Secretary Of the NAACP, Mr..
Lester B. Granger, Executive
Secretary of the National Urban
League and Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt have been equally Outspoken
in their condemnation Of Henry
Wallace's third-party venture.
These distinguished liberals, along
with most other non-communist
progressive leaders and all the
large labor organizations are
strongly opposed to Henry Wal
lace's third party because the only
possible result of it will be the aid
Of the most reactionary Republicans
such as Taft and Ball.
While Americans for Democratic
Action is proud of its early stand
against the third party, we really
cannot take the credit for in
fuencing the decisions of Walter
White, Lester Granger, Eleanor
Roosevelt, Nell Russell and all the
other independent liberals.

Pan American Gets
 Hawaii Charter

WASHINGTON, (P) - Pacific Northwest businessmen, aft e I months of effort, found them selves yesterday with two airlines certified to fly between the north west and Hawaii.
 The sudden aerial prosperity re- suited from Mondays civil aero nautics board action approving, at President Truman's direction Pan American World AirWayS service.
 The new authorization varies from that recently given North west Airlines in one regard.
 Pan American may operate be- tween the northwest and Hawaii only on. flights that continue be- yond the island stop. It cannot op- crate local service.
 Northwest Airlines is author iZed to operate a local service.
 Pan American company officials indicated in Seattle and San Fran cisco Monday that the new service is prepared to get under way just as quickly as planes and crews can be made ready. They indicated that would be soon.
 Various northwest organizations carried out a lengthy campaign 10 secure the original authorization for a Seattle-Portland to Hawaii direct service.
 Northwest was selected over Pan American and two other appli- cants for the original run. Pan and United already op- crate between California and Ha- Waii.

Shoots Brother Over Comic Book

NEW CASTLE (P)-A siX-year- old boy fatally wounded his To- year-old brother in an argument over a comic book Lawrence coun- try coroner Charles Allen report ed.
 Allen said the older boy, George Lee Naul, son of MT. and Mrs. William Naul of suburban Clifton Flats, died in a hospital a few hours after he was shot in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun.
 The coroner said the shotgun was fired by the victims younger brother, Samuel Thomas Naul. AL len said the argument arose from Georges wish to trade a comic book with a neighbor boy and Samuel's protest that he had not yet seen the book.
 The shooting occurred, Allen said, in the bedroom the boys shared and happened after the boys father, a steel-worker, or dered George to bed to end the ar gument.
 The coroner quoted the father as saying he kept the shotgun un- loaded in his own bedroom and the shells hidden in a vase.
 District attorney Leroy K. Don- aldson said the case will be turned over to the juvenile court. No charge will be filed, he said, be- cause the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania believes a child of less than seven years incapable of com hitting a crime.

NEW YORK, (H) - Fred Allen has started a one-man radio cam paign against the "give-aWay" programs that have won millions of listeners.
 The sour radio comedian has agreed "in self defense" to bond his listeners up to $5,000 against the loss of any prize they might win by listening to some other program.

 Mick, if you had been on the ball he wouldn't have got that. don't want that picture to go out | of here"
 Then, Bynum added, Littlefield ! and two or three other men showed him against car door, seized his equipment bag, and destroyed nine film holders valued at $5.25 each.

bered by those who attended the
first Evening Star Games and saw
him come in second to Dave Albrit-
ten in the high jump with a leap
of 6 feet, inches. Boo has stated
that he will enter both events here.
Reservations for tickets for next
years meet already are being ac-
cepted in Room 724, The Evening
Star Building. Because of the uncer-
tainty over the number of seats
which will be permitted in the
Armory, those desiring to attend
should apply early. AS soon as the
seating chart is ready, the price
scale will be set and those who ask
for reservations will be notified. The
tickets will be allotted in the order
in which the applications are made.
It is probable that the same scale
as this year will prevail with seats
reserved at 81, So and 81. If the
seating capacity is increased either
through change in sfle fire regu18-
tions or the provision of additional
exits, general admission seats will be
provided insbaeachers ON both sides
Of the hail AtaA plus tax.
This years meet at which 1.-The
maximum allowable number of seats
was sold, turned outaon the, black
side of the ledger, income exceeding
expenses by about $100. With a
greater seating capacity it is hoped
that a profit can be earned here
after for charitable purposes. The
principal aim. however, will be to
bring the best of indoor track per-
formers and after the outstanding
success of this years meet, the out

in a series of bouts here last year.
Gabe Menendez, Turner's Arena
matchmaker, can't counter with
any one bout offering name fight
ers, but he's come up with what,
they're billing as Carnival OF
Headliners.' It's a card featur-
ing four eight-rounders, all pre-
senting boxers who have fought
in main events here. Gabe is
4 counting also on his lower prices.
plus the regular trade he's built
up for Monday night fights, to
make tomorrow's event a paying
proposition.
Ahearn is counting on the big
time angle of his featured scrap
plus a larger arena to put over
his show. 1t isn't likely that
Washington will support two ring
shows the same night as a regu-
lar thing, but while the compe-
tition is hot the fight fan will
benefit.
The winner of the Horne
Hursey battle is promised non
title shot at Graziano on April
5-that's another Monday night
provided he's sufficiently i'm
pressive. Horne tangled with
Graziano two years ago and lost
a 10-round decision. He's still
one of the best middleweights in
the business. Since meeting him
Graziano has won 13 bouts, lost
three and drawn one.
Hursey, biggest drawing card
Washington had last year, was
in a well-paying series with
Aaron Perry, Bee Bee Washing
ton, Billy Arnold and number of
others, all of whom he defeated.
He also knocked out Danny
