DEMPSEY TO JOIN LOUIS IBC?

The latest rumor in Chicago is
that Jack Dempsey will become an
added member of the new Joe Louis
promotional firm. International
Boxing club. A spokesman for the
group, however, says it "ain't So"
Louis, out west on business, could
not be reached for comments
Dempsey said he has received nc
offers.
Talk all grew out of a comment
by the ex-heavyweight king that the
old Manassa Mauler would be a
good addition to his organization.
In the meantime IBC continued
its plan to operate on a firm foun-
dation. From the way things are
shaping up, the IBC will act as
kind of a coordinating agency for
various local promoters. 1t will
round up fighters and arrange bouts,
then put them on in various standia
in cooperation with the local pro-
meters.
On this basis IBC would not run
the risk of making numerous enc
mics among local boxing men.
Local spokesman for IBC have
also denied that Louis plans some
sort of tieup with Mike Jacobs.
1t is believed that prices for the
IBC promoted Ezzard Charleston.
sey Joe Walcott battle will be at
popular" prices of 50 to $40.

BETTER FILMS, MAYBE?

For many years, the makers of NOV
ing pictures have operated hundreds of
theaters throughout the United States for
the purpose Of assuring outlets for their
films.
The Department of Justice instituted
n suit against the five major film distribu-
tors under the Antitrust laws in July,
1898, charging that production and ex-
hibition by the same concern amounted
% monopoly. The case has dragged along
somewhat slowly but two of the leading
companies have now signed consent de-
crees under which they will divorce their
exhibition business from the production
and distribution enterprises.
With thousands of theaters controlled
by the makers of moving picture films, it
Is easy TO understand that picture, re-
gardless Of its type or quality was assur-
ed what the trade calls bookings" AS
sured Of the sale of the pictures, there was
not much incentive for the producers to
.unduly bestir themselves about the quality
or decency Of their productions.
10. . IL the production of moving pictures
can be completely divorced from the ex-
hibitiOn part of the show business, the
chances are that the producers will get into
competition with each other and attempt
10 win the box office receipts by the pro-
ductiOn of better films. This would be a
boon to all those who attend the moving
picture theaters and might help bring
about the better business which the film
makers have been anxiously awaiting for
several years.

SAME MONEY BAG

President Truman, last Friday at his
news conference in Key West, asserted
that Dixiecrats are not Democrats and add
ed that congress is divided into three
parties, Democrats, Dixieerats and Repub-
leans.
Gessner r. McCorvey, state Demo-
cratic chairman in Alabama, questions the
Presidents use of the term "DiMeerat.''
McCorvey says There's no such ANIMAL
He adds that the correct term for the Pres
ident to use is States Rights Democrats. =
Aside from which of the designations
is proper to use, it should be observed that,
since this country was founded, many of
the rights that were inherent in states has
been gradually usurped by the federal
government.
The usurpation has been due in great
measure to the governments socializing
activities in the states. The people, par
ticularly during the last decade when the
Depression had the country in its clutches,
clamored for federal assistance and, when
it was given, did not realize that it tighten
ed the governments grip on the states
Consider, for instance, the millions
of dollars that the government dis
tributed in. Key West, going so far as to
provide free lunches for public school
children. In every instance here, as we'll as
elsewhere in the United States, the spend
ing of that money was directed by federal
employees. In other words, Washington told
Key Westers and residents of all other
areas in the country what to do, and when
ever it was not done as the government
wished, projects were held up, or applica-
lions for projects were denied.
You can't be dependent on anybody
and expect to do as you please, so far as
that dependency is concerned That same
principle applies to states in accepting
monetary grants from the government.
The Miami Herald, few days ago,
published satirical cartoon about the
success of socialism in Great Britain.
Socialism, smiling, was lolling atop of
moneybag, and the bag rested on the
taxpayers of the United States.
This country also is becoming social
lied by the governments handouts to the
states. The seeming success of the hand
outs, at the expense of States Rights
could be aptly Illustrated by cartoon,
with the same taxpayer and the same
moneybag and the substitution of the
Washington capitol dome for Great Brit

OUR STATE DEPARTMENT

The Hoover Commissions reorganiza-
ton report on foreign affairs shows that
the United States State Department in
terms of appropriations is twelve times as
big as it was ten years ago and has five
times as many people working for them
1t is generally agreed in Washington
that the Department has not increased its
efficiency to any extent.
The Washington Evening Star COM
ments editorially, as follows: "This is no
way to run State Department in this day
and age. During the coming fiscal year we
will spend somewhere in the neighborhood
of $4,000 on international af-
fairs and our military program. The best
hope of any substantial reduction in this
vast outlay of funds lies in the prospect of
an improved international climate. In this
effort the State Department will play a
vital role, and any reorganization which
increases it's efficiency and effectiveness,
while not offering much in the way of i'm
mediate savings, promises rich dividends
for the future"

CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION

That's very interesting headline at
the top of this article. It has been in con-
slant use ever since the Civil War But the
row between the North and South still
goes on. The issues involve the right of
.Ssrtain classes of American citizens to
vote and II attacks the economic condition
existing between the whites and the blacks
IN Southern States. There will be a lot of
DAYS and weeks lost in rehearsing the same
old speeches that reveal the differences in
american Democracy in the North and the
South. But mark this prediction; When the
,-slst Congress comes to an end the Civil
Rights discussions will remain unsettled
and uuimproved.
