At least that is what he told as
sociates in the boxing business
here last week when told that Ez-
card Charles had been found phys

Thursday.

said, II called Joe when we first
heard about Ezzard Charles in

had bad news. Bad, that is, for
partner. We might not have
the heavyweight championship.
"Joe told me that's too bad. It's
going to change my plans" That
was just what | wanted him to
say. was going to ask him to
be ready to change.
Louis said he didn't want to
fight in June, anyhow. He had
the South American tour all lined
up and was going out with a cir
Gus during the summer.
He might fight Charles. Or if
Charles can't fight any more,
maybe the winner of the Wood
cock-Savold fight in London.
"You can be sure he'll never
fight except for the title. No
eliminations or anything like that.
But | do know he has a tremen-
dous pride. He'd like to be the
first heavyweight champion to win
back the title"
Charles, of course is recognized
by the National Boxing Associa-
ton as champ but New York has
failed to follow along. The Brit
ish are browning the Savold-W
cock winner, June 6.
Whether Charles will be able to
continue fighting may be determ-
med at Chicago where he will
undergo an examination for re-
ported heart condition.

Red Cross Drive For
$18,39O Is Under Way
Enthusiasm For Drive Shown
At Kickoff Dinner Held Tues
day Night-Drive To End On
March 8.

With the words of Rabbi Ernst j.
Conrad ringing in their ears-"Our
quota of $18,390 represents only
twenty-five cents from each person
in Washington County"-an enthu-
siastic band of volunteer workers
left the kickoff dinner for the an
nual Red Cross Drive, held at the
Hotel Alexander on Tuesday night,
determined to keep intact Wash
ington County's great record of new
er having failed to go over the top
in any worthwhile undertaking.
John A. Latimer, Jr., general chair
man of the Drive, told the assembled
gathering that although the first re-
ports from the Initial Gifts Division
and the Commercial and Industrial
Division were encouraging, the sue
cess of the campaign depended on
the results of the general canvass, and
urged the public to be liberal in their
giving and the volunteer workers to
stay right on the job until the goal
was reached.
Both Rabbi Conrad and Rev. Ken
meth NJ Gearhart addressed the
gathering and both emphasized the
Red Cross need for funds this year
in order to carry on its diversified
services to mankind While the
Blood Bank is one of the best known
Red Cross services to humanity, it
was brought out by the speakers that
it was only one Of many others, such
as relief for flood sufferers and for
communities destroyed by fire and
explosion, to say nothing of the Red
Cross services in the many Army
camps, both at home and overseas.
Between now and Wednesday one
/ of this band of volunteer workers
will be knocking at your door. When
they do, please be ready for them
and make your contribution to this
great cause as liberal as you can.
And if, by chance your home is
missed, won't you mail your check
to the Red Cross Drive headquarters,

by the Office and pay it in person.
