4 MONG today's youngsters
IA It's considered a sign of
growing up when a girl puts
on her first pair of heels"
But high-heeled shoes are
anything but new. They are
believed to have been intro
duced about 400 years ago by
Catherine de Medici, wife of
Henry II of France. Her heels
were about an inch high and
her shoes very elegant.
Until the 18th century,
women and men alike wore
fiat shoes. Louis XIV is said
to have had heels put on his
shoes in the hope of increasing
his S feet 4 inches to some
thing resembling king size"
Evening star., 1949-12-18

His kind of heel is still known
as the Baby Louis"
Today's shoes are a far cry
from their ancestors, the
sandal and moccasin. To give
you some idea of their
genealogy photos of old ones
are reproduced herewith,
along with sketches of some
of the new styles available in
Washington.
The "oldies" are the prop
erty of Joseph Burger, a New
York shoemaker whose hobby
is collecting them. His COL
lection, valued at $40. 900, in
cludes shoes dating from CEN
turies before the birth of
Christ.

Impartial Investi-
CATION Of Paul

Urged By NAACP

New York, Sept. ! = An In
vestigation by the New York
State Attorney General or by an

the incident of mob violence which
broke up a scheduled concert by
Paul Robson near Peekskill last
Saturday was urged by Cover
nor Thomas E. Dewey this week
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-

1T is our opinion that the
county and local officers =.
cannot conduct an impartial in
vestigation to determine all the
facts" stated Roy wilkins, act
ing secretary of the NAACP, in
a telegram to the New York
governor. Mr.. Dilkins asserted
that reports reaching the Ma
ACP offices indicated that res
ponsible for the demonstration
may involve the inflammatory
editorial policy of the Peekskill
Star, issuance of permit by Cort-
land authorities for mass demon
stration in the immediate con-
cert area, mad failure of coun-
ty and local law enforcement Of
ficers to give adequate protection
TO those desiring to attned the
concert"
A member of the Peekskill
branch of the NAACP reported
that after he sent letter to
the Peekskill Star protesting their
inflamed editorials proceeding the
Robertson concert, he received
numerous threats through anony-
nous telephone calls.
After the NAACP and scores OF
other organizations and individ-
uals issued protests against the
rioting, Governor Dewey earlier
this week ordered Westcheste1
County authorities to submit a
complete report on the incident
The Association had sent tele-
grams to the governor and tc

T Of C May Sell ToLouis Group

NEW YORK The Joe Louis Madison Square Garden Corpora tion is rumored to be negotiating to buy out the rival Tournament of Champions, according to reliable ed thus far.
 George Kletz, former president of the T. of c. and still a 25 per cent stockholder, said: "the T. of c. Board of Directors has agreed to accept the Madison Square Gar den Corporations offer if the con- ditions are right. It was assumed that a cash deal would be made.
 If the deal goes through, all inn portant boxing promotions will be under one head. The new Garden corporation would have control of both the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium and virtual monopoly on all major boxing. Louis's group already owns the Chicago Stadium and Detroit Olympic and several other western arenas.
 Mike Jacobs. who held a virtual boxing monono1v for 12 years, stepped out of the picture last week. He sold out to a new Madi- son Souare Garden Corporation which said it would work closely with Louis's I. B. c.
 This explains why the T. of c. has failed to come out with a def mite announcement of it's June 21 show and why no opponent has been lined up for Cerdan. The T. of c. holds an exclusive for two title de- lenses on Marcel Cerdan who wrested the crown from Tony Zale last September.
