NEW YORK (ANP) On We'd
nesday, the New York Assembly
unanimously passed Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey's recommended bill pro-
viding for undeterminate senten-
ces up to life for sex criminals.
1t was one of the last bills passed
by the legislators, before their
1850 closing.
The bill provides for expansion

Deposit Bond
Money For
Walcott Fight

CAMDEN, U. j. (ANP)- The
German title fight between heavy
weights Jersey Joe Walcott and
Helm Ten Hoff drew closer to
reality last week, when German
promoters promised to deposit a
$751; 900 bond in a New Jersey
bank.
Felix Bocchiccio, Walcott's
manager, was ready to check the
deal early this week. If that ar
rangement does not work, Bocchi-
ccio said he would send a repre-
sentative to Germany to work
out a plan.

Williams wants the state to set

The state spends only $1.38 per

While Oakley's needs to go on,
the state legislature fiddles and

Negro Women
Win Bridge


NEW YORK (ANP) Two Ne
gro women became the first of
their race to win a major conf
tract bridge title last week when
Mrs. Chauncey Gibson of New
York and Mrs. Byron Brooks of
Brooklyn teamed to win the wo-
mems pair championship in the
Eastern States contract bridge
tournament at the Park Sheraton
hotel.
For their victory they will hold
the Wainwright trophy for a year
a trophy presented by Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Wainwright of New York.
Last year when the same partners
won the metropolitan women's
pair title they were denied the
trophy because they were not
members of the American Con-
tract Bridge league.
Since then develop
ments have taken place in the
league a 60 percent majority
of $1,000 members of the league
voted to bar Negroes from it's
contests, but IS percent of the
! members of the Greater New York
Bridge association voted in favor
/ of Negroes. The same margin
| voted in favor of Negroes for the
| New England Bridge association.
By winning the regional tourna-
ment Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Brooks
are one step away from the top
honor of the nation, the national
| title. No Negro has ever partici-
| pated in the national tournament.
The winning pair won over 46
pairs, the largest number ever to
enter the regional tournament.
They scored 1851 match points
compared to the average of 312,
% points above the second rank
ing pair, Mrs. Harvey Lefevre and
Mrs. George Steader of Forest
Hills.

stands to lose its prestige and eff
fectiveness because it cannot get
get appropriations it needs to
carry on it's work.
The Oakley Training school for
Negro boys, located "a miles
northwest of jackson, has a near
ly perfect record of curing de-
linquents. None of the boys re-
leased from Oakley have ever
been sent to prison, and only one
has ever been returned.
Superintendent of this in
stitution is Prof. George Washing
ton Williams, 62, whose favorite
saying is, eff a boy don't work
the devil gets into him. A boy is
either going to work or STEAL"
With this philosophy Williams
and his 15-member staff usually
rehabilate a boy in Is months.
Despite their phenomenal record
Oakley is having a lot of trouble
getting a decent working appro-
priation from the state legisla-
ture.
Rep. Dave Womack Of Hump
hreys county has offered a bill to
appropriate 100000 for the
school,. The school originally re-
quested $271,000 to conduct a
new building program, but the
state finance committee trimmed
this to %$125,OO0. Rep. Womack
calls the lower sum "unreason-
able"
Oakley has a progressive non
cruelty program in which beating
and cruelty have been thrown
out the window. The school has
no armed guards nor fences.

Prof. Williams. "But let them

PRESIDENT
 OPPOSING
 kI(k0UT5

WASHINGTON, June 1 = tR = President Truman said today he does not want to drive anyone out of the Democratic party.
 That was his news conference comment on suggestion by Sem ator Humphrey (D-Minn.) that liberal Republicans be invited to join the Democratic rarty and that conservatives be invited to leave it.
 MT. Truman said he thought the Democrats would like to have all the votes they can get. And he added he doesn't care to drive any, one out of the Democratic party.
 During the discussion his atten- tion was called to a speech in the Senate today by Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Me) in which she said she doesn't want the Repub- licans to ride to victory on the four horses of fear, ignorance, big otry, and smear.
 The President laughed and said he wouldn't want to make con- ment as strong as that about the Republican party.

 WORK E UNDERWAY |IN ANCHOR AREA

PALMER, Alaska, June llRt- The summer field work of the Alaska Soil Conservation District officially gets under way next Mon- day. A survey party of five men under Thomas Day, of the Palmer headquarters office, was to begin a preliminary inspection of the An chorage area this week. The first job facing the crew, made up of college students and soil conserva- tion personnel transferred from the states, is the land classification ot the Anchorage area.
 This work, done at the request of the Alaska district, will rate all the land west of the Chugach mountains, except the military re- servation and the urban area of Anchorage, according to its agricul- tural capacity.
 Day estimates that the Anchor age job will take his crew about one month to finish When the Anchor age area is classified, the crew will transfer to Fairbanks for a similar chore.

JAPAN REDS GALL
 REpRHAL STRIKE
 OVER RUSH TRIAL
(By the Associated Press)

Militant Communists in occupied Japan today called for a general strike on Saturday and police al! over Japan were alerted for new outbreaks of Red violence.
 The strike was ordered by the Communists in reprisal for the oc- cupation's rush trial of eight Jap anese accused of kicking and ston- ing American soldiers Tuesday. It was the first serious Japanese American clash since Gen. Mac Arthur's troops took over control of that country.
 The Communists have recently become openly defiant of American authority after being taunted by in ternational Communist charges of timidity. Gen. MacArthur in the past year has twice suggested in speeches that Japan may be forced to defend her new constitutional liberties by outlawing the Com munist party.
 The party's order for reprisal strike coincides with general strikes Saturday in the automobile. metal trades and heavy industry The party strategy is to influence the elections Sunday for the upper house of Parliament.
 While Communist disturbances came to a head in Japan on the far eastern periphery of the Soviet Union, at the other extreme, on the borders of Soviet-held East Ger many, tension caused by Communist youth decreased.
 Ten thousand sleepy Communist teenagers enroute to their West German homes gave up their sit- down strike against West Germany medical examinations at Luebeck and crossed the East-Wes line. On their way home from the weekend East Berlin Red demonstrations, the blue-shirted youths had camped two nights just inside the Soviet zone rather than submit to inspec- tion and give their names to border police.
