Senator Dies on Eve Of
Fiibuster Speech

WASHINGTON, March IA, GAN
P)-Sen. j. Melville Broughton,
junior senator from North Caro-
lima, died of a heart attack last
week on the eve of a speech he
was scheduled to make as part of
the filibuster being carried on by
southern senators. The nervous
tension brought on by his arduous
duties in Washington and the inn
pending role which he had to play
in the filibuster are regarded IS
probably contributing to his de-
mise.
Sen. Broughton, as governor of
North Carolina, was regarded as
extremely friendly to constructive
measures affecting Negroes. He
was an intimate friend of the late
James E. Shepard, president of
North Carolina college and visited
the school every year he was gov
groes.

A committee was formed which
went to the school board and Sup
erintendent French to prevent the
officials from giving the West
Side much less than was required.
At one of the meetings Ben Sha-
men, board member, in an at
tempt to ameliorate the angered
group said overwhelmingly and pa
Realistically, "Now, now, just be
patient. We have a plan"
The plan is now in operation.
1t is to stall, and stall again. Of
course the board suggested some
thing concrete, like putting 4-room
additions on Willard and Garfield.
Or adding a wing to Willard and
putting it down by Burkham park.
In short, suggesting. anything that
an intelligent individual would re-
ject.
1t appears obvious that the
members o fthat august body in
tend to do nothing about the criti-
cal situation in our schools. That
is, except to stall. The only thing
that will make them act is the col
lective voice of the people of the
community. Not only through a
few persons on a committee, but
through every citizen. Visits
should be made to the school board
and to French. Or post cards and
letters should be sent to them.
The way it looks now Willard
and Garfield, which date back to
the Civil War will be here until
the next one. Unless the people
act now.

The People Must Get
Behind School Issue

Quite a few persons have been
wondering lately just what hap
pened to the school issue which
was quite a topic of discussion
about two months ago. Apparently
the issue has been laid away on
the shelf to die an ignoble death.
Tt should be revived, however, and
that is precisely what the plain
citizens of this community de-
mand that the school board do.
What is taking place now is an
old trick. When officials are faced
with something that they know is
vitality important to be acted upon,
but which they are not too en-
thusiastic about, they will clutch
at any opportunity to bury the
issue, or, at least, to delay the
action. Thus the rules committee
of the Ohio House of Representa-
tives has for the past two weeks
ago held up the FEPC bill from
debate. Thus the civil rights pro-
gram of Truman is being filibus-
tered to death.
Thus the school board under
Paul Restricted Covenant"
Schenck is delaying action on the
grade schools in the west side
ghetto. It has been over six months
since Superintendent of Schools,
Robert French, recommended some
action by the school board on the
two schools, Garfield and Willard.
His recommendations we're short
of what was needed to turn the sit
uation from terrible to bad. And
West Siders will not stop until
the situation goes from terrible to

Peaks To Meet Murray
In 10 Round Bout

Sid Peaks who flattened the

here a couple of months ago, re-
turns Friday to meet Lee O.. Muir
ray of Norwalk, Conn, in a 10
round bout at Memorial hall. The
Northern AC, under Dee Mantia

Murray and Peaks have met be-
fore, about a year ago. Peaks
knocked Murray out in three
rounds, and the boys on the beach
say that Murray is doubly anxious
to even the score, which should
make it a bang up fight between
the two big heavyweights. Peaks,
however, who halls from Louis
vile, KY, is the favored on the
basis of his recent performances.
Peaks, though, was knocked out
recently by Elmer "Violent" Ray,

barrage of left hooks and we'll
timed right crosses to the jaw and
temple. lin the second heat, the
20,838 fans wanted to know what
kept Jackson upright after Bascom
measured him with a left jab and
followed with a steaming right to
the chin. Pierre did a rubber-leg
act and had to hang on to finish
the round. The amteurs fought
only three rounds, but this one
ended in a TKO in the third.
Bascom is an on-balance fight
er, on the order Of Joe Louis.
Rarely does he swing wildly and
his feet are always in a position
to put the maximum body weight
behind an ordinary left jab.
Not easily ruffled, he stays on
the aggressive, boring in with a
tantalizing consistency, reminis-
cent of Henry Armstrong.
With good management and
training, there's no reason why
Bascom shouldn't make a name
for himself professionally, after
he's had a few more amateur
bouts. But let's hope that the kids
management won't push him too
fast. 1t has happened before.

CHICAGO, March IA, (ANP)
Within the next three years, the
name of Wesbury Bascom should
be listed among the leading con-
tenders for the worlds light heavy
weight crown, providing he hasn't
already copied the title by then.
Bascom is the 20-year-old smoo-
THE from East St. Louis, ILL.,, who
eliminated four champions to be-
come boss O fthe 22nd annual
Golden gloves, 175-pound division.
The Tuskegee born youth, by far
the classiest fighter Of the entire
lot, packs a terrific two-handed at
tack, and maneuvers his feet bet
ter than the average professional.
His greatest triumph was over
Pierre Jackson, another outstand-
ing Negro from Cincinnati, who
had scored three straight knock
out over the best 175-pounders
from Minneapolis, Nashville and
Kansas City. The 21-year-old Jack
son made all-American center in
football at eKntucky State col
lege, but he soon discovered that
Bascom was no football.
Only the ghost of Peter Jack
son, that all-time great of yester-
ways had excellent race relations.

all that sort of thing. They used

FOlta Ponders Tax COnstitutiOnality

JUNEAU, IP) - Federal judge George w. Folta took under ad- visement yesterday a friendly test case to determine conStitutionality of the recently enacted non-resi- dent fishermen'S tax.
 Suit was brought by two non resident masters of halibut yes sels-Kristian Martinsen and Ed ward Wick, both of Seattle-and oy the Polar Fisheries of Ketchi- kan.
 It challengerS the new Terri torial law of $50 for non-reSidents.
 A. H. Ziegler of Ketchikan, pre- senting one side of the arguments, said the tax was discriminatory as Alaska fishermen were taxed only $5.
 Asst. Atty. Gen. John Dimond, representing the tax collector, said the question for the court to decide was whether the degree of discrimination is unreasonable and burdensome."
 Both sides asked the court to decide the acts cOnStitutionality.

Fire Does Much Damage to Bridge

TACOMA, (P) A spectacular fire caused a possible S400,000 or more damage early today to the 502-foot tower of "the Bridge of JinxeS."
 Flames, fed by oil, gasoline and timberS, turned the nearly com pleted west tower of the ill-fated Tacoma NarroWs suspension bridge into a gigantic steel-fram- ed torch.
 It was the third blow of the ele- ments at the NarroWs span. The original bridge, with a half mile long center suspension span, col lapsed in a gale in l940. Then the recent earthquake shook a giant steel saddle" from atop a tower.
 Engineers expressed belief that short circuit on the pier at the towers base may hava started the destructive blaze sholtly before midnight.
 The fire may cause several months delay in finishing the $13,000,000 bridge, engineers said.

HONOLULU. tA') - A plan to bring a food relief ship to strike bound Hawaii will be considered in detail by a CIO dockworkers' committee. The union already has given approval "in principle"
 Robert McElrath, spokesman for the striking international long ShOremen'S and WarehouSemen'S s union, predicted speedy approval of the plan by the committee.
 He said waterfront employer and union representative worked out Monday night tentative de- tails of a plan to bring in food. The islands six ports have been tied up since May 1.

Alcoa May Build Plant At Skagway

JUNEAU, P)-HOpes for big Aluminium Corporation of Amer ica reduction plant at SkagWay were on the upgrade today. IL is mentioned here as a possible $300,- 000,000 initial investment.
 The hopes rose from the an- nouncement that Dr. Warren J. Mead, head of the geological de- partment of Massachusetts insti- ute of technology, will lead an expedition to study the general geology of the area to be pierced by tunnels if the project goes through. The tunnels proposed would be from Lake Lindeman through the Chilkoot Pass vicinity to Lynn Canal.
 Alcoa is reported unofficially to have secured an acreage in the vii cinity of SkagWay for a plant site. James P. GroWden, chief hydro electric engineer of Alcoa, headed a party which came to Alaska two years ago to reconnoiter the site.

 When Klein got home, his land lady had a long list of things for him 10 do around the house.
