A. Philip Randolph
Writes Cong. Mitchell

Representative Hugh B. Mitchell
Seattle, Washington
Dear Mr.. Mitchell:
The enclosed meme on the pro-
posed Citizens-Co Congressional Com
mission of Inquiry trip to the
American zone of Germany gives
the up-to date status of Pentagon
vacillation.
Such persons as DIR. j. Oscar Lee
of the Federal Council of Churches,
Henry Epstein of the Anti-Defam-
alton League, Representatives ia
Wits and Klein, Senator Humphrey
and AFL and CLIO representatives
are dangling in mid-air, awaiting
final word from Washington. Most
of them agreed to make the trip
at great personal sacrifice.
AS the memo suggests, wires
from members of Congress will be
particularly effective. Will you let
me know If you have seen fit to
wire or telephone the White House
and-or the Pentagon?
Cordially,
A. Philip Randolph
Co-Chairman

Sonny Boy West
Defects Mexico's
Eonesfo Aguilor

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
washington's favorite lightweight.
Sonny Boy West, moved a peg
closer to 1.-THE garden" when he
won an unanimous 10-round de-
cision over Mexico's featheweight
champion Ernesto Aguiiar.
lille West had Aguilar on the
ropes several times, sticking him
hot and fast with his usual hghtn-
ing-like dynamite punches, he was
unable to floor the tenacious Mex
lean.
The 20-year-old. 1s5-pound West
was favored with height. reach and
youth. still his 2s-year-old oppon-
ent. although weighing only 1872
pounds, demonstrated q great deal
of capable ring experience and
ability to take it."
Fire and anger flashed in Agui-
lars eyes int he second round when
he went down for q count of eight,
resulting more from q shove than
from a punch. With a determined
expression to get even with West,
he came back battling with all he
was worth, but was not able to
send West to the canvas a single
time.
Sonny necessarily fonud himself
the aggressor in the eighth round,
having to carry the fight all the
way to the tired Mexican, who
spent the entire round feigning.
This gave Aguilar time to rest
himself and he came back in the
ninth with renewed vim and vigor,
squatting and pouncing upon
Sonny like hunting dog upon his
prey.
In the last round both fighters
fired their heaviest artillery, each
hoping to finish the fight with a
knockout. The KO never came, but
Sonny landed blow on Aguilar's
face that brought the blood gush-
ing from a deep cut over the
mouth, thus ending the bout on a
bloody note.
In the six-round. semi-final Wal
ter Roade of Washington scored
a TKO in 1:45 of the fifth round
over the Puerto Rican, Angel
Chavez of Springfield, Mass.
In the four-round preliminaries
Billy Cofield of Baltimore won a
unanimous decision over Billy
Henderson; George Carringan
(white) of Baltimore outpointed
George sherrod of Alexandria; and
Morrice Nelson defeated Joe Cam
marata white) of Baltimore.

About Rugs

Wiltons and velvets are woven Of
wooden and worsted yarns. Wooden
yarn has coarser texture than
the worsted. Frequently. they are
both used-blended to combine adj
vantages Of both. In Administers
wooden yarn is used because the
weave Is not tight enough to hold
the less pliable worsted yarns with
firmness.

Judging from the inquiries
received, it seems that the Sc
cond and third paragraphs of
the article which appeared in

with THE K EYE,
signed by L. H. have been
misunderstood.
These inquiries have been
referred to our contributor and
he has promised to hand in
another article explaining the
said paragraphs in time for an
early issue.
He has however, asked us to
mention that the paragraphs
in question are NOT to be in
terpreted as forecasting the for
nation or approach of a hur-
ricane, but were simply includ
ed in the article as an example
of the popular belief that "the

OF COMM. GOVT

The State Department has
decided to put the matter of
recognition of the Chinese
Communist Government u D
to the Congress of the United
States. While the President
can recognize any government
without consulting the Con
gress, because of the contro-
versy as to whether or not the
Nationalist had been given
sufficient help, the State De-
partment felt it best to put the
matter in the hands of the
Congress.
Russia and other satellite
countries have already recog-
nized the newregime. The
United States have indicated
also that it wishes to consult
with the Western Powers first.

Tommy Hemichs homerun

today at the Yankee Stadium
ahead of the Dodgers in the
first game of the l949 World
Series.
Up to the ninth only one
man got as far as the third
base and that was in the End
inning for the Dodgers, Big
Don Newcombe lost the game
with IL strike outs and Allie
Reynolds won with 9. How
ever, this total fell short of 2
strike outs which was made by
the St. Louis Browns, and the

the 1914 World Series, Rey-
nolds gave up two hits, and
walked 4; Newcombe allowed
5 hits and gave up no base on
balls.
Yankees made one error,

office; it's own water pumping
station; 10 miles of track; storage
facilities for 480 railroad cars; a
diesel oil storage and pumping
unit and other items.
The building and shop construc-
tion work is under contract to
Morrison-Knudsen Construction Co.
of Boise, Idaho. The major facil-
tiles will cost the government
$3,147,777. The power plant is
worth approximately $326,000 COM
pleted; the coal servicing station
is to cost $309,446.
Six freight sidings, in addition to
scale track and runaround. can
provide storage for $50 cars. The
sidings are 10000 feet long and more
can be added, according to COL
Johnson. The fill for three other
identical sidings is already in.
Four spur tracks serve new in
dustrial area which has seventy
five so by 100 feet warehouse sites.
These sites are leased to mer-
chants in Fairbanks.
Top grade steel is used in the
yard track. Heavy lis pound steel
rail is used on 81 turnouts in the
yard while IL other turnouts are
70 pound steel. All track in build
ings and shops is heavy rail.
The extra duty lis steel is grad
ually replacing the lighter rails on
the mainline from Seward to Fair
banks as part of The Alaska Rail-
roads rehabilitation program.
A new "Y" track, 1000 feet long,
permits turning of the diesel
streamliner AURORA with IL of its
8O-foot cars. Twenty regular sized
cars of a normal train could be
turned simultaneously on the "Y".
Completion of the new shop IA
cilities will whisk repairmen out
of the bitter Arctic cold and thus
step up efficiency. In the winter
months thirty degrees below zero
is common Fairbanks weather.
Readings of fifty below occur. Too,
the shop facilities will eliminate
the need to "deadhead" rolling
