Proposes Negro Judge
For Juvenile Court Bench

To the Editor OF The star:
At the present time there is much discus
sion OF the possible establishment Of two
judgeships In the Juvenile Court for the
District Of Columbia. This Is something
devoutly to be wished. not only because
single judge Is greatly overworked. but be-
cause serious and deliberate attention, IL
America Is 10 continue strong. must be given
TO the youthful offenders figuring 80 prorni-
nertly in the sudden rash Of criminal acti-
vities reported daily in the newspapers.
When. and IL. such positions are initiated.
II is zealously to be wished that In the selec-
ton OF such personnel close scrutiny be
given to them in seeing that each. outside
OF their legal requisites. possesses the emo
tional and intellectual character 10 bring TO
the families before them the sympathetic
understanding needed before an intelligent
decision can be rendered concerning them.
In your editorial Of May 3. entitled Quail
fications for q Judge" after showing that
66 per cent Of the Juvenile Court cases In
yolyed boys. you stated: If ser La TO be de-
termining qualification for a Juvenile Court
Judge. the appointment OF a man would seem
to be more logical than the appointment Of
a woman. But sex should not be the ruling
qualification"
Then. IL also must be stated that closer
perusal OF statistics will show that over 30
pet cent OF the cases concern Negroes and
thus accordingly II would be more logical to
have Negro as Judge The fact that Up 70
now the judges have all been white is not SUI
dcient reason for continuing such policy.
Indeed. tt is quite timely that the Negro be
given representation among those who by
their position must render decisions for
Negroes. R. T. HAWKINS.

To the Editor Of The star;
In reference TO Maj. Mails "Draftees and
Veterans Guide" column published In The

several errors In reply to Mrs. Z. T.
/. He refers TO family allowance bene-
fits" as allotment" so far as TO in
fer that the Department Of the Army has
loosely used that term In guiding him In his
reply. That could hardly be the case. as
Army Regulation 36-5544o. paragraph 3D.
provides that family allowances and Class =
deductions for family allowances are not
to be referred TO as "ailotments.'

To the Edisor cf Ths star.

The Board Of County Commissioners Of
Prince Georges County. In my opinion. is
deserving Of commendation for not raising

resist the insistent demands Of pressure
groups II is particularly noticeable that
these groups have no practical suggestions
to cffer to equaiize the tax burdens. a
higher tar rate would be . real hardship on

Even without increased tax rates. many
home owners win pay Increased taxes as TIE
result of raising the property valuations
during the past year and the making of

Ia Moiia Is
 Champ Now
 By Knockout
By CHARLES c. CAIN

DETROIT, June IT. R - The new Jake La Motta today holds the world middleweight boxing title he chased for eight years, but he doesn't know when he can cash in on the prize
 La Motta, an officlal 10th round knockout winner over Marcel Ger dan of Casablanca at Briggs sta- dium last night, has a bad hand to show for his trouble. Cerdan the dethroned champ, has a pulled shoulder muscle.
 Jake probably wlll have X-rays taken of the puffed-up left mitt today Cerdan's handlers said they would fly Marcel to New York to- day fur further examination.
 That leaves the return match-a must according to the original con- . tract-up in the air Jake must meet Marcel again in his first defense with each re- ceiving 30 percent of the gate in his first defense. The site and date have yet to be determined.
 La Mctta's 15 percent cut last right amount to about Sl9l71, but he has to leave his money in escrow until he makes his defense. Marcel will get 10 percent or about s5l,- 124.C0 of the net gate of s127,31o.
 SHOULDER INJURED
 It was the first championship defense for the courageous, 32- year-old Frenchman, who saw his title slip away after he suffered an injury tc his shoulder in the open ing round of the scheduled 15- lound -out.
 Csrdan was able to use his left only once or twice after the injury ard he took 9 terrific body beating before Referee Johnny Webber finally halted the fight after the ninth round bell.
 Webber was summoned to Ger dans corner by the Frenchman's handlers who explained that their man was in acute pain.
 After Dr. Joseph Cahalan of the Michigan Boxing Commission examined the disabled fighter, Wess Ter called La Motta over and raised lis ann in toksn of victory.
 under Michigan rules, tho fight vas entered in record looks as 9 lCth round knockout.
 SUDDEN ENDING
 The sudden ending came as surprise even though the crowd of 22.1s3 fans-most of them La Motta supporters had seen Cerdan fight gamcly for several rounds usiny only his tight hand.
 Ia Motta took command frcm tic opening ell and even in the first round when Cerdan's shoulder was okay. Jake won the round on the cards of the three ring off cials.
 After tie first round, every round followed about the same pat tern. That aalled for Jake an s to 5 rnderdog-to cut locss with barrage of punches that k.pt Ger can in trouble.
 The Fsenehman at 15oh had reund advantage over Jake, but tiat vas about the only edge ne had in the fi2ht.
