7itone, Cooper's Foe, Becomes
Boxing Bug After Seobee Win

If Jimmy Cooper loses Mon
day night to Charley Titone in
the featured 10-rounder of the
Turner's Arena boxing show,
he can blame it all on a group
of eager-beaver Seabees and
a kid who didn't think he
should fight" but did anyway
and won.
Young Titone. reared on the
sidewalks of Brooklyn. had his
first real" boxing match in
June, 1945. on Okinawa.
Il didn't think I could win
it, recalls the fellow who
almost beat Cooper here three
weeks ago. "The fellow out
weighed me by 20 pounds. But
I was talked into it and got
lucky. I scored a kayo and
have had the boxing bug ever
since"
Ever since" covers a lot of
territory. Titone. fast and as
smart as they come, has had
81 professional fights, has lost
only five all decisions - and
never has been knocked down.
And how does Titone, a lean
fellow with a something-less-
than-dynamite fist, get off so
easily?
Like Rocky Graziano. Titone
grew up behind raised fists.
Unlike Rocky, Titone is
soft-spoken young man with
a better -than-average vocabu-
larry and a ready knowledge of
the rules of grammar.
Every boy fought in our
neighborhood." he recalls. "If
a fellow weighed 80 pounds or
more, he was heavyweight.

In the case of the Stand2rd Oil of California vs the United States, the opinion of the court was writ ten by Justice Felix Frankfurter who, however we may quarrel with his political activities, is among our sounder jurists. If his conduct were as steady and as wise as his law, he would be among the really great men of our generation. In this particular case, Frankfurter said:
 at large for determination in each case the ultimate demands of the public interest as the English law makers, considering and finding inapplicable to their own situation our experience with the specific prohibition of trade practices legis- latively determined to be undesir- able, have recently chosen to do :"
 This is sound law Frankfurter, through the majority decision, maintains that the Supreme Court of the United States is not legis- lative body and should not arro- gate to itself such authority.

 AS result of the big business philosophy underlying (specified Supreme Court opinions) big business has become big ger and bigger Monopoly has flourished. Cartels have increased their hold on the nation. The trusts wax strong. There is less and less place for the independent.

STEEL WORKERS DEBATE

The steel workers acceptance of the factflnding boards proposals in the steel strike wasn't nearly as harmonious as CIO boss Phil Murray indicated to the press.
 Murray correctly reported that the steel workers wage policy com mittee had unanimously" approved the boards findings However, he neglected to say that some local steel union leaders kicked over the traces at a stormy three-hour meeting in Pittsburgh before vote was taken.
 The loduest protests were voiced by local union chiefs in inland steel company plants, who pointed out that they had previously turn ed down an inland offer approxi- mating the 10-cents- -an-hour in- crease for welface and pension benefits recommended by the Presi- dents fact-finding board.
 How, they asked Murray, could they now ask their members to &C., cept something which they already have rejected as unsatisfactory l? The local leaders implored Murray to hold out for at least part of the 1912 -cent-hourly straight wage boost originally demanded by the union.
 The CIO chief replied that he still considered the l2I2 -cent in- crease Gin addition to the 10 cents for welfare and pension benefits) a just demand But, he argued that the steel workers probably couldn't get any more than the boards recommendation even ii they staged walkout. Further more, strike would be inadvis- able in view of the strong weight of public opinion behind the fact finding board.
