PREDICTS CHARLES
AS SURE WINNER
On the 22nd of next month the
international Boxing club will
present the Charles-Walcott bout
for the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world. Ii all eXpecta-,
tons live true to form, the gate
will be a tremendous one, and,
Ezzard Charles will emerge as
Joe Louis successor to the Heavy
weight Crown.
This bout will be Charles firsd
for the championship, and Wall
colts third. But in the ring with
anybody Charles is quite cap
able of holding his own. If he
hasn't disposed of Jersey Joe bv
the fifth rifle, the deal will
come in the eighth. That's my.
prediction.
A CHAT WITH THE CHAMP
The other day we paid visit
to Ringside Gym and had a
chat with some of the boys.
Enrico Bertola was there, to-
gether with his co-manager
Emil Mani, who seems to be
making it habit to bring
Italian fighters over for our
boys to work on. BertoIa was
his first importation, and so
far the "Champ" has done all
right for himself.
Out of eight bouts here in
America Enrico has won six
Of them. Of the two he lost,
one was to Chicago's own
Richard Haean, the big fell
low who used to be Joe Louis
punching bag.
"Fm not trying to beIittIe
Hagan," said Mani. "But my
boy had a sore rib that night.
He wasn't in good form. He
even asked me not to let him
90 on anyhow. So we lost by
a tko in the early rounds"

House Rejects Move 10 XIII
REORGANIZATION Plan No. 7
By the Assoeiotsd Press

The House, by voice vote yester-
day, in effect approved President
Truman's reorganization plan No.
q. That plan would transfer the
United States Employment Service
and the Unemployment Compen-
sation Service from the Federal
Security Agency to the Depart
ment Of Labor.
The action was on a resolution
by Representative Hoffman, Re-
publican, of Michigan, to reject
reorganization plan No. 2. The
resolution was shouted down.
Under the Executive Reorgani-
cation Act, either House or Senate
can veto a presidential plan to
reshuffle Government agencies. A
Senate committee has recon-
mended that plan No. 2 be re-
jected, but the Senate has not
yet acted.
A long controversy has been
waged over whether the Employ
ment Service should be in the
Security Agency or the Labor De-
partment. A commission headed
by former President Hoover. set up
to study Government reorganiza-
ton, recently recommended that
the Bureau of Employment Secur-
ity, composed of the Employment
Service and the Federal Unem-
ployment Compensation Service,
be moved from the security agen.
cy to the Labor Department.

Chicago Gas Shortage
Apparently Averted
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. Aug. IA good
sized trickle of gasoline into filling
stations seemed certain today to
have forestalled an immediate
motor fuel famine in the Chicago
larea.
The threat that consumer out
lets might dry up arose yesterday
when drivers of trucks supplying
filling stations struck in support
of demands for a 171a cents an
hour wage boost. The drivers are
members of the AFL Transfers
Local 705.
H. E. Wood, the unions secre-
tary-treasurer, announced last
night, however, that ITO trucking
operators had agreed to terms
and would continue hauling motor
fuel. He said the ITO concerns
operate enough trucks to supply
approximately 500 of the 5000
gasoline stations In the Chicago
area.
Mr.. Wood said the union had
given the operators its clearance
after they agreed to the 1712 cents
wage increase. At the same time.
Federal Conciliator Howard Plank
said he had arranged meeting
today of representatives Of the
union and more than $50 trucking
concerns, including major oil COM
panies, involved in the dispute.
