1iberio Mitri Agrees
To Replace Graziano
Against La Motta
sy the Assee;osed Pres.

NEW YORK, June l7.-Tiberio
Mitri Of Italy. who gave up his
European middleweight crown to
come to the United States for a
shot at World Champion Jake
La Motta, agreed today to SUBJ
stitute' for injured Rocky Grazi-
ano in a title fight at the Polo
Grounds June 20.
James Norris, president of the
International Boxing Club. said
today he will talk to La Motta
tomorrow in hopes of getting the
champions okay Of the challenger.
Graziano withdrew from the
scheduled bout last night when
an X-ray picture showed his
throbing thumb had been frac-
tured in a workout four days
earlier. Doctors estimate he will
be sidelined almost a month.
Harry Markson. managing di-
rector of the IBC, said both the
New York State Athletic Com
mission and the National Boxing
Association had approved the pro-
posed La Motta-M -Mitri bout. Mitri
rates fourth on the NBA list of
challengers, Graziano ninth.
Ray Robinson, world welter-
weight champion and recognized
as middleweight titlist by Penn
sylvania. turned down a bid today
to replace Graziano.
He said he couldn't get ready
to fight in less than two weeks.
II know I've just had a fight
with Robert Villemain," Robinson
said, "but I've been playing around
and wouldn't be sharp"
Another factor in Robinson's re-
fusal may have been his manager,
George Gainford, who is a power
in the Boxing Managers Guild.
The guild is boycotting the IBC
in an argument over distribution
of television income from fights.

Party line The Alaska Fishermens Union is af- filiated with the IFAw but is taking a referendum on whether to break away.
 Nashoalook as spokesman for his people, has as- serted himself as opposed to the Communist group in the CIO His people have no interest in the Com munist movement and he has said want no part of it.
 The Eskimos are good Americans Like others of us they be misled into joining subversive group That Nashaolook quick to sever his connections with the ILWU when he discovered the implications involved in it's allegiance to the Harry Bridges group in the CIO is colnmendabe.
 It will take more than the admitted power of William Gettngs Harry Bridges director of the ILWU in Seattle to take over Nashaoooks 1000 Eskimo and Indian cannery workers.
 When Nashoalook found that the CIO had re- pudiated the ILWU he was quick to follow the lead of the national organization.
 His repudation of the ILWU says in effect, We Eskmos are good Americans. We are opposed to Con- m,lnism We want union to be free from the tant of Communism

THERE'S A BRIGHT SIDE

In the midst of continuing agitation for eco- nomy the Congress has approved an omnibus rivers and harbors bill to authorize the spending of s1 730 million in various parts of the country This makes possible great many very worth projects for the improvement of navigation for flood control and for the beterment of harbors It also accounts for nearly half of the anticipated budget deficit.
 The great dimensions of this new authorization demonstrate anew how difficult it is for legislatVe body to make drastic economies in the field of public works even in time of great prosperity when pubic works projects not needed for national economic stability But such bill also peases multitude or persons in almost all sections of the country And that helps to explain why the road to economy is beset with temptations that elected officials cannot easily resist.

NASHOALOOK QUITS ILWU

Pearson Apologies

No such apology was ever made But I am going to make one now Tht''ssoiogy sfsl for understanding Congressman Wickersham' gall fol feeding at the public trough and his efforts to conceal it. Here are some other interesting facts which l have since discovered.
 On the day that the Merry -Go- Round column was published-Dec l, 1949-disclosing the Congress mans aforementioned salary op- erations, Wickersham had a bad attack of jitters. One of his em- ployees, Lloyd Matthews, described these jitters in letter to Wicker sham's secretary, Aubrey Witt, at that time in Oklahoma. Matthews was the man who worked in the Corgressman's real estate office but drew money from the Congressional office
 MT. Wickersham finally reached me tonight after several efforts and undying persistence" Matthews wrote. He told me to do exactly what I had planned to do anyway, keep my mouth shut. Amazing how a mans magnanimity increases in direct proportion to the duress un- der which he is subjected. He, out of the clear blue sky, asked me how I would like to help with the census His remark was plain ly forced, but he said it :. add ing whipping cream to the dessert, he continued: How would you like to go to West Point?'"
 These sudden offers to Matthews came "out of the clear blue sky the exact day this column exposed Wickersham's queer salary setup. The preferred census job meant ex- tra money for Matthews. He had also long dreamed of going to West Point. The Congressman knew this. Maybe he was afraid his young clerk would talk.
 Four days later-December 16- Real estate employee Matthews wrote Witt another warning letter in Oklahoma: Be discretionary in conversing with my folks he said. "The information I've doled out to them is meager, and don't want a lot of explaining to do about var ious matters.

Tips to FBI

However, since the Congressman says he welcomes an investigation, here are some further tips the FBI might wish to check.
 l. Why was young Matthews offered job in Wickershams off, ice for $2OO per month, then paid S460 a month beginning his first day. June l, 1949? This was the second highest salary in the office though Matthews was only 20 years old, just out of high school and green at the work.
 Few high-school youngsters make $5,520 year.
 ?. Check Matthews bank account to see whether he deposited S400 on January g, and whether this was money refunded to him by Wickersham after the FBI started it's investigation.
 3. Check the payments for the automatic electric typewriters in Wickersham's office to see whether Matthews signed note to pay SIT per month on the typewriters.
 This ends my apology to the Congressman from Oklahoma.

As Matthews letter indicates, he collaborated with Wickersham and his lawyer in preparing a state ment for the FBI. When Witt returned to Washington, on the other hand, he refused to give the FBI signed statement. Out of loyalty to his boss, he also with held what he knew about the office payroll practices.
 Later, however, Wits conscience bothered him, and he finally gave the FBI a statement to the effect that Wickersham had been taking salary kickbacks from his employee, Lloyd Matthews.
 Following Wits statement to the FBI, Congressman Wickersham made a speech in which he tried to explain away the charges against him as the result of irresponsible spite work of a disgruntled em- ployee of my office whose service has been terminated"
 This, however, was not the fact. Witt did not quit his job with Wickersham until four months after this column first published the charges, at which time he was not fired, but walked out. He could not, he said, stomach what was going on in the Congressman off, ice.
 It is interesting that Wickersham also claimed in his House speech that he himself had requested the FBI to make complete, thorough investigation of these spiteful, irr- esponsible, political charges
 This, however, does not agree with what Matthews wrote privately when he reported the investigation had been ordered by the Assistant Attorney General.

Money Not Enough
