Ezzard Charles
Now Worlds
Heavy Weight
Champion,

Chicago-Ezzard Charles, 27-
year-old lightheavyweight, from
CINCINNATI Ohio, ouboxed and out
punched an ancient Jersey Joe
Walcott in Is rounds to wwin the
MIA version of the Heavyweight
championship of the world before
nearly 10000 people at Comisky
baseball park.
The fight started off rather fast
but tailed off in the seventh round
due eto the Camden, N. j. war
rior Walcott not being able to keep
up with the fast pace set by his
younger adversary. Walcott won
the second round after an even
first round and then Charles took
command. The last semblance OF
a round in Walcott's favor was
the sixth that the officials prob
ably took away from Charles be-
cause of low blows.
The best round for Charles was
',e seventh in which he stagger-
ed the "old'' fellow several times
but not being a devastating punch
err could not put him away. The
action slowed down with the
crowd booing several times be-
cause Jersey Joe elctd to remain
out of danger and Charles know
ing he had the fight in the bag
took no chances, remembering
that Joe did have the real cham
pion Joe Louis on the canvas.
The decision was unanimous
with the referee Dave Miller and
the two judges almost concurring
in the scoring with II, 10, 7S
for Charles and 70, II, and IL
points for Walcott.

RIVAL

Jackson, Observation-Disclosures
''King" Cole internationally Famous
star of stage, screen, and RADIO,
paid the city a visit, and the South
a compliment here last Thursday
when he said that he had noticed
a definite improvement in race
relations while travelling through
several southern states"
He attributed the new trend, in
part. to the fact that in many
southern cities5 and towns, young
White men and women have &C
quainted theselves w.ah the facts
regarding racial issues, and feel
that the Ngro should be given full
citizenship recognition. Cole felt
that the majority of these young
people were college trained.
Shown keen and scholarly
knowledge of world affairs, Cole
dashed out at any one who would
associate his name, in any way,
with communism and opined, that,
Democracy is the graest thing
on EARTH"
Travelling with the group which
included trio regulars Irving Ashby
and Joe Crump, was Jack Cost
anzo, youthful and talented White
drummer who joined the group in
February and is a favorite where
ever they appear.
Costanzo was allowed to show
his fine talent in Jackson in three
appearances here, but could not
perform IN Memphis or Birming-
ham.
Surprise Scoop of the year was
given. when Cole told an Advocate
representative that he and Mrs.
Cole were anticipating visit from
the Stork. The Coles have only
recently adopted young girl,
daugter of Mrs. Coles sister, now
deceased.

filed wit hthe house judiciary

hearings on Civil Rights and An

These amendments-the Thir-

said, but the Congress is empow-
cred to extend their principles to
meet the many situations and
different circumstances which
arise with the growth and adj
vancement of our complex situa-
ton"
The brief pointed out that fol-
lowing the Civil war a number of
