cision on the fighting Italians case.
On the radio, however, Tony Zale,
whom he fought three times for
the middleweight title, a war hero,
recommended that Graziano be
permitted to fight again.
Graziano came before the board
neatly dressed, and wore a tie. He
told the commission in regard to
his dishonorable discharge from
the army:
~ learned my lesson. It hurts
me very, very much to be barred
here. I made a mistake. I know
that now"
Also speaking in Graziano's be-
half were his attorney, Frank J.
(Spike) McAdams, and promoter
Irving Schoenwald, with whom the
fighter has signed a contract for
his first bout if ban is lifted.
McAdams called Graziano's con-
duct since discharged, Texempla-

here, his wife and children would
be in Chicago, too.

establish a basic standard for hui
man rights and problems Of en-
ployment. This is a basic standard
Of our American society"
The same responsibility dove
tails down to the state and local

ator Humphrey of Minnesota
spoke words not only applicable
to the national government but to
the state government as we'll. Yes,
and to the local government, also.
here is much food for thought
in his testimony, to use a trite
expression. Daytonians and Ohio
ans should mark the words we'll.
They are good argument against
those who would fight an FEPC
