Upsefs Mark Baft|inq
For Senior Laure|s
In Golden Gloves

A pair OF upsetS and sparkling
rally for victory marked the cham
pionship fights of the 18th annual
Golden Gloves boxing tournament
at National Guard Armory last
night as two Of five defending senior
titlists lost their crowns before q
crowd of nearly 5000.
In the lightweight section, Guam
tico Marine Harry Rodgers dropped
his championship to Pete Cilinski,
three time Glove titliSt from st.
Mary's Club. Throughout the three
rounds the lads traded continuously
on pretty even terms, but Judge Joe
Aronoff and Joe Bertolini cast bal
lots for the Alexandrian while Ref
cree Marty Gallagher gave his vote
to Rodgers.
Another champion from Quantico,
Heavyweight Keith King, was an
upset victim as he lost his title to
Eddie Grant, Apollo Club entry and
District of Columbia AAU champ,
who raped out a unanimous deci-
sion in the nightcap scrap.
Thomas Floored, But Victor.
| hitting Pat Thomas of Mer-
rick Club came of the floor to whip
Sam Kelsey of Liberty Club for
the senior 126 pound crown.
Thomas, D. c. AAU champ, ran
into a sweeping right in the initial
round which foored him for a nine
count. Sheer fighting instinct won
over wobbly legs and Thomas man
aged to survive the round. Then
changing from slugger to boxer, the
Merrick boy went on to a unani-
nous verdict. Thomas was voted
the outstanding senior boxer.
Middleweight Titlist Roland Ran
dali, Mel A. c., retained his laurels
for a second consecutive year in a
bloody battle. outpointing Quantico
Marine Walter Stepanovich. The
heavy punching Randall decked the
Leatherneck twice in the opener
and then slowed him in the closing
minutes with a midsection barrage,
but Randall was bleeding freely most
of the way from a badly cut mouth.
Jimmy Caraway. 1l8-pound cham
pion from Olympic Club, retained his
crown, but only after staving of
Merrick Clubs Bunky Frazier, a
fine boxer. Also repeating by unani-
nous decision was Leon Daughtry,
welterweight from Liberty A. c..
who defeated Connie wilkins Of
Police Boys Club No. 2.
Powers Scores Lone Kayo.
A mild upset came in the senior
l75-pound duel when Eliot Powers,
Fort Belvoir entry, scored the
shows only KO in whipping Eddie
Marshall, Police B. C. No. 2, the
AAU champion. Powers applied the
chiller at las of the second.
Emmett Swayne, National Guard
featherweight, proved the class of
the novice campaigners when he
banged out a TKO over Billy Nc
Cartney, Quantico Marine, after
lis of the opener. Swayne was
awarded the Fred Hartley Trophy
as the outstanding novice OF the
tourney.
The Quantico Marines won the
novice team title for the second
consecutive year, but were replaced
as senior leaders by Liberty A. c.
The eight senior winners will rep

FINAL COST: OUR LIBERTY

The most staggering aspect of the welfare state philosophy which is overwhelming our Federal Gov ernment that it heads inexorably in the direction of outright conscation of the bulk of everyones pay check.
 We have grown ccustomed-almost-to all man. ner of deductions for Federal income social security and so forth The insidious thing about this scheme of relatively painless taxation is that it courages greater and greater take from the taxpayers pocket.
 The appetite of the welfare state" knows no bounds.
 Add the two factors together and they spell tre- mendous menace for the whole scheme of individual enterprise.
 For instance the present trend of talk is toward s10o month pensions for everybody 65 This would cost by 1860, $17600 100000, or about much as individuals now pay in total Federal income taxes In other words, the cost to the average individual would be about s7 week The present social security program is set up with eye actuarial realities Perhaps Congress could liberalize it somewhat even though the money paid under it already outruns the income from old-age pension taxes. But Sl0O a month for everyone at 65 would have little relation to real insurance program. It would be fantastic dole and an even greater imposition the earn ings of those who work for living. GA $100 month annuity would cost the individual far less under standard insurance policy than would his share under a government administered old-age dole of the same amountD
 If is well and good for government government at some level whether it be Federal state or local to attend to certain basic social responsibilities But when the intent ranges beyond that when it becomes
 colossal all feed trough, we must not forget that the cost of maintaining the trough can be so great as to cost us liberty itself.

The Nations Polluted Water

New Yorks water shortage may be a blessing in disguise by focus ingi attention on g-standing menace to the drinking water Of other parts of the nation.
 Every year Congress votes hund- reds of millions of pork barrel' funds for flood control and river and-harbor development, but has been extremely tight-fist in pro- viding money to purify the water that goes into our homes from these same rivers.
 The problem is not so great in the. Great Lakes area, where the lake water requires relatively lit tie treatment for contamination. However, most of the US.A. de- pends upon river water for drink ing, and there is a glaring lack of 'adequate facilities for cleans ing, it of human ccwage and in dustrial waste.
 This is true not only Of such big cities as Cincinnati and Philadel- phia, which are constantly grap- bling with water pollution, but of smaller cities downstream from the factories and sewers of big indus trial centers.
 There are approximately 150,000,- 0OO, people in the United States Yet the pollution of cur waterways is equivalent to the sewage of 200,- 100000 people-because half the pollution is caused by industrial waste This has doubled in post war years.
 To prevent a repetition of the NeE York water crisis in other parts of the country. Congress ant the State legislature are going to be required to face the water pollution problem instead of duck ing it. This means that l0,500 new waterworks plants may be needed to ! chemically treat river water for sewage and industrial waste according to the U. s. Public Healtf Service A total of between S7,000,

to prevent an overproduction of coal"
 Sam Caddy, Lewis's representa- tive, said in substance, according to the affidavit, that we would be able to operate five days a week and get our own price for the coal, as the other mines would not pro- duce sufficient coal to meet the demand"
 The most amazing part of the negotiations, however, was that the mine operators were not shown a copy of the proposed contract but were expected to go to Wash ington and sign any contract pre- sented to them there.
 I've were not to have a copy (of the contract) and were to agree to the terms presented to us with out changes" the affidavit states. However, it was held out to us that we would be granted the privilege of a 5-day operation and special concessions in the opera tion of our mines if we signed a blank check contract"
 Two small operators refused to be bulldozed and, as a result, their mines were closed down complet- elys They were not even permitted to work a 3-day week as were other coal mines throughout the country.

Officers Clubs In Liquor Business

The House Armed Services Con- mittee is considering a probe of Army-Navy Officer Clubs which have been selling whisky against the law.
 Under an act of Congress Q90D still in effect, the sale or purchase of intoxicants on military estab-
 lishment is strictly forbidden. In
 October, 1947, General Eisenhower,
 then Chief of Staff, issued an or
 der clarifying this law and ruling that the sale of package liquor
 was taboo in Officers clubs as
 well as in Army PXs.
 Despite this restriction, however, Army officers at Fort Benning, Ga, not only have been selling whisky and other intoxicants by the bot
 tie, but have actually been adver- Using such sales in case and half
 case lots.
 Furthermore, Fort Benning of I ficers and their civilian friends can get the liquor much cheaper than the regular retail prices charged outside the post, because it is bought directly from distillers to
 escape a $15-per-case state and
 warehouse tax.
 Congressmen have received com- i plaintS that one officer at Ben
 ming received a shipment of 164 1 cases of wines and liquors last l July, which he later sold to of flcer friends. Another officer pulp 1 lished a circular announcing the sale of l9 different brands of ] whisky, gin and brandy and quot ing cut-rate prices by the case 1 and half-case.
 1 The House Armed Services Com mittee also has received complaints that package liquor is being sold ] indirectly to civilians at the Naval Gun Factory in Washington, An dIews Field in nearby Maryland, 1 Stewart Field (near West Point) Fort Hamilton (New York, West over Field Massachusetts, and other installations.

British Deva'uation FiOps

Secretary of the Treasury Synder has sent the White House re- port on British devaluation which paints anything but rosy picture for the future It indicates that Britain will need a $2,000,000,000 loan from the LISA. if she is to keep her economy above water.
 Synder, who originally sold the British on devaluation, had in mind that the cheaper pound would give them a chance to invade the American market. But it has not worked out that way.
 One difficulty is that British businessmen have found the Am erican market too tough, too com petitive, and too costly As a re- suit, they are concentrating their export efforts in the sterling area the British dominions, the Middle East and Africa where they are already established. However, this gives them no new dollars, and the source of dollars-which the British had so desperately hoped for from devaluation-is rapidly drying up.
 The British Government is work ing hard on the problem of crack ing the American market but Brit ish businessmen are not.
