Word came to the office that
Norman Horton lost another fight.
Two nights ago he was knocked
out in six rounds in New Bedford,
Mass, by Sammy Walker.
Dayton sport fans were distress
ed atthe news for Horton was one
ofthe most promising young fight
ers Dayton has produced. He is a
middleweight who won the middle
weight championship Of Dayton a
couple Of years ago from the then
popular Eddie Miller.
This writer saw Horton in action
once, against a boy who didn't
have too much on the ball. Hor-
ton was just starting out as a
pro then, and tho he didn't parti-
cularly impress, we laid it down
to inexperience. He won the fight
totheacclaim of the fans. From
there he went on to win the city
title.
Horton then went to Stilman's
famous gymnasium in New York
to get some pointers from some
Of the top pugilists in the land.
After spending some time there he
returned to Dayton to fight jim
my WEIGH, the Columbus middle
weight who has boxed around thes
parts many times. WEIGH was bare
ly out Of his teens. Horton disap-
pointed his followers and barely
eked out a draw with the Column
bus lad.
After the WEIGH fight he changed
his locale to Providence, R. I.

Fields Murder Case
Among the d

BY Jimmie N. Jones

Among the % indictments returned by the third session of the
January grand jury was the case of Andrew A. Fields Jr, "a, of
68 S. Euclid ave., charged with the fatal shooting of his father
on New Years morning for what he termed: "He was beating my
mother and I had to shoot him to make him stop" Fields is held on

graphy.) In Providence he met
Ralph Zanelli who at the time was
a pretty popular fighter in New
England. In fact, he was the New
England middleweight champ.
We don't know what happened
in pre-fight build-up, but some
thing like 5000 fans showed up
to watch Horton upset the New
Highlander and win his title. This
just what the brain-tsaff wanted.
The respective managers immedia-
tely booked the boys for a return
engagement. Now boxing is a
rough racket. Many fights are fix
ed. The fighters themselves in
most instances are sincere and de-
sirous of rising on their merits.
But avaricious managers and rack
ateers get together and fix fights
in order to mulct the people out
of their money. Z
At any rate, Zanelli won the
return fight and regained his
crown. From then on in it was a
series of fights between the two
which soon enough lost their lus-
ter. Pretty soon Horton began to
get whipped fairly regularly by
strictly club fighters. We hope the
knockout last night will convince
the lad that he should give up the
game. At best, it's a tough racket.
AT worst, it means taking dives,
getting battered up by second
raters who are part of the in"
clique, getting punch drunk, and
possibly death in the ring as the
result of fighting.
We are sorry that a Dayton
fighter did not quite have what
it takes to reach the top in a
mean sport.

DERBY:
Near Record Bet

A Texas colt and Texas boy
won the greatest sport event on the
American scene-the 10th running
of the Kentucky derby. The colt
was battle-ground. The boy was
Bill Boland of Corpus Christi.
There was another news story in
the event, however. Those who keep
an eagle eye on the nations purse
were startled that wagering on the
race was only S5,016 short of the
record.
A total of 81 ,249, O26 was bet. The
record handle of S1,253, ,O42 was set
in 1947.
For the full nine-race derby day
card, the handle was the third
highest in history. A total of S3,-
559,382 was wagered. The 1947 rec
ord was S3,636, 403. The handle in
1916, second highest in history, was
$685. ,208.
II betting is any indication of the
economic trend, the prospect for
the rest of 1850 would seem excel
lent. Observers point out that peo-
pie don't wager when times are
hard.

INDOCHINA::
To Get Aid

Secretary Of State Acheson an
nounced in Paris that Indochina
would get immediate American aid
in the form Of military equipment
in an effort to rid the country Of
the guerrilla war which has been
going on for four years.
He announced the bulk of S75,-
100000 already appropriated to COM
bat communism in the Far East
will go to the French backed Wet
namese of ex-Emperor Bao Dai
and the associated states of Cam
bodia and Laos to fight Moscow
backed Ho Chi Mini.
Many observers felt the move
was an important one in the battle
against communism in that section
of the world. Some believed the
Communists may have made too
many gains and the aid will be
too little and too late.''
Acheson indicated the United
States would expect a greater de-
gree of self-government for the
three Indochina states under the
French.
He added. 1.-The United States
considers the situation to be such
as to warrant its according eco
nomic aid and military equipment
to the associated states of Indo-
china and to France in order to
assist peaceful and democratic de-
velopment."

TIL LAW:
Non-Red Oath

Labor unions, bitter enemies ot
the Taft-Hartley act since the day
it was enacted, found themselves
confronted again with one of the
most disliked provisions of the law.
The us. supreme court upheld
the provision that requires union
officials to file non-Communist
oaths if their unions are to use
machinery of the national labor
relations board.
Both national and local officers
of most unions have filed such af-
fidavits, although a few holdouts
remain.
Chief Justice Vinson said in his
31-page opinion, "Those who, so
Congress has found, would subvert
the public interest cannot escape
all regulations because, at the same
time, they carry on legitimate po-
litical activities. To encourage
unions to displace them from posi-
tions Of great power over the ma
tional economy while at the same
time leaving free the outlets by
which they may pursue legitimate
political activities of persuasion
and advocacy, does not seem to us
to contravene the purposes of the
first amendment"

TRUMAN:
On Tour

President Truman began his west.
ern tour with four speeches on be-
half of the Brannan agricultural
program, but took time also to
preach the gospel against isolation
ism.
And it was a new Truman, using
gentle ridicule against his political
enemies instead of the free-sWing-
ing, Sledgehammer blows he used
on a similar trip two years ago.
That in itself was enough to make
many politician raise his eye
brows.
The President showed his needle
Of ridicule deep when he touched
on isolationism. He said:
'rNow isolationism would be a
cheap policy to follow. 1t would be
easy and cheap to stop spending
money on our army and navy and
air force and to stop sending sup
plies to other countries who SUR
vived the great war. We can stop
these things today.
'Isolationism would be mighty
cheap for today and tomorrow and
maybe next week. You remember
how cheap isolationism was in the
1920's. Taxes were cut, at least for
the big fellows, but look at the ter.
rible price we have paid for iso-
lationism in the second world war.
To-day exactly the same issue
faces us. There are still some men
who keep telling you that we can
economic by following an isola-
zionist policy. These men can't see
beyond the end of their noses.
''They don't see that isolationism
would let the rest of the world be
swallowed up by communism. That
would certainly bring on a new
world war just as it did in 1899. We
reneged in 1921, just as Russia to-
day is doing with the help of our
own iSolationists.

With a gentle tap on the Liberty
Bell, Secretary of the Treasury
John W. Snyder on May IS opened

the peacetime history of the coun-
try. The drive continues through
July 4.
The bell is the symbol of the

Fifty-two replicas of the historic
relic are on tour of the 48 states,
District Of Columbia, Alaska,

will be viewed by millions of peo-
pie.
The bells were made at the
foundry of the Sons of Georges
Paccard at Annecy-le-Vieux in
France and are said to produce the
exact tone of the Liberty Bell be-
fore it was cracked in 1885.
The treasury department has one
objective-to promote the sale of
savings bonds in order to encour-
age thrift. An attempt will be made
to contact every potential buyer of
savings bonds in the nation.
At the conclusion of the drive,

SPY HUNT:
Files Available

The Communist spy hunt, called
by many a witch hunt and a mud
singing campaign against admin
istration big shots, took a new turn
when President Truman agreed to
give Investigators the complete
state department loyalty files on
the 81 cases cited by Senator Nc
Carthy.
Although Truman's approval did
not cover F.BI. files, a great
amount of F.B.I. material is in
cluded in the reports.
1t now comes to light that the 81
persons named by Mccarthy have
been investigated by four other con-
gressional committees.
Senator Tydings, chairman of the
subcommittee which has been look
ing into McCarthy's allegations,
said: mo adverse report concern
ing these employees came to the
floor of the house or the floor of the
senate and none was sent to the
state department after the other in
vestigations.
Some sources are saying public
opinion is beginning to blow the lid
off the scandals Of the Truman ad-
ministration. But others believe
too much time and money are being
wasted in an effort TO create Com
munist hysteria for political rea-
sons.
The public, meanwhile, was be-
coming little bored and skeptical
Of explanations from either side.
Some logical explanation of what
has been going on had better be
made and soon, the voter was say
ing.

POLITICS.:
A New Trend?

Political observers were face to
face with the question: is there a
new political trend in the wind?
In Florida 36-year-old George
Smathers defeated Sen. Claude
Pepper, one-time new dealer, by
well over $4,000 in the democratic
primary. Critics of the Fair Deal,
especially the revolving southern
ers, called it a victory over alarm
ing creeping socialism," big gov
ernment, unbalanced budgets and
the welfare state.
The winner, however. told Re-
publicans to take no comfort from
his victory. He said:
''The people of Florida in this
election proved they were unwilling
to depart from the well-established
and basic principles Of the Demo
cratic party. They do not wish to
venture off down the side roads of
extremism or dangerous experiment
tation.
Nor are they interested in turn
ing the clock back to isolationism
and the do-nothing attitude of the
Republican party"
Meanwhile, the people of Texas
elected the first Republican con-
gresham in "a years when Ben H.
Gull, 40-year-old Pampa broker
and former schoolteacher, defeated
10 Democrats. 1t was sudden
death election to fill the unexpired
term of Gene Worley who had re-
signed to become a federal judge.
GULL said he was going to Wash
ington as one small protest and
added: g. If l go up there
as one small protest, maybe the
powers that be won't think they
have the whole country in the bag.
Maybe some of those big shots will
take look at this little segment of
Texas and take warning"

LABOR:
Strike Settled

The 100-day-old Chrysler strike,
the second longest and costliest in
the history of the automobile in
dustry, has been settled.
The union claimed it won the 40
cents an hour package" in pensions
and hospital and medical benefits
for which the strike was called.
To put the strike above the mer-
cenary level, UAW president Walter
P. Reuther said. 1.-THE Chrysler
strike was a part of great human
crusade to build better tomorrow
and a better world"
But labor observers said the
strike was too long and too costly
for anyone to benefit. About $4,000
Chrysler workers in 25 plants and
$4,000 in supplier plants had been
idle.
Also on the labor front, John L.
Lewis announced that the UNIV well
fare fund would resume payment of
benefits next month. Benefits were
suspended for almost year during
the UMW's drawn out strikes and
restricted work weeks.
Another important move in the
labor world was the announcement
of William Green of the AFL that
his union is willing to meet with the
CIO to form united organization
''of all forces and groupings Of or
ganized labor"
In a letter to Philip Murray,
Green proposed:
1. To coordinate work on econom-
c, legislative and political prob
ems.
2. To achieve organic unity.

Homemakers are warned against
the old-fashioned use of copper ket-
