to be part of another hoard of
fans : those who think of the
welfare of the fighter to lead
Ike into temporary retirement or
a long rest at least. Ike has taken
too many beatings lately.
i Little Ike is still the best light
weight in the ring today. In the
past whenever he was asked about
the welterweight division after he
had rid himself of challengers, he
always decided to leave it alone.
| This year, however, he has
fought welters almost exclusively,
and he has lost almost as often
about the welterweight division
after he had rid himself of chal-
iengers, he always decided to
leave it alone.
But, think of it . and unknown.
Charley Salas, %, of Phoenix,
Ariz., whipped Williams, and beat
him good, too, in Washington, D.
c. The Williams fighting spark
seemed to be missing. He never
put on a typical Williams show in
the whole bout.
Even the winner, Salas, himself,
was surprised to win, and win so
easily.
Has Ike worn himself out try
ship of the world. Charles knows
this and will be out to make quick
work of his opponent when they
meet in the ball park Tuesday
night. In case Charles should lost
which most sport writer's and ex
perts don't think he will, Be
shores would be named the N.B.A
title holder and would be in line
for the shot at the former cham
plon Joe Louis. Also it would cos
Charles around 100000.

Green Asks Court
ToHoit Bond Issue
For Arlington Pools

Arlington County Treasurer
John Locke Green today took suit
to halt issuance of bonds for pub
lie swimming pools approved by
the voters in a referendum Au-
gust /.
Mr.. Green asked the Circuit
Court to grant a declaratory
judgement against the County
Board. He asked that the case
be heard September 8 or as soon
afterwards as possible.
The referendum authorized the
board to issue up to 100000 in
bonds fro construction of SWIM
ming pools. Arlington has nc
public pools and the question
carried by only a 35-vote margin
In the suit, Mr.. Green contends
that the referendum was not held
in accordance with the law be-
cause it was at a primary elec-
ton and was under supervision OF
primary party officials. He con-
tends the law requires special
elections be held in the same
manner as regular elections.

fists had purchased one of Wythe-

verted it into a hospital; but it
has no contagious ward, and to
move polio cases in would be un-
fair to the patients already there.
AS soon as the suspected cases
showed positive in the spinal test
at the clinic, they were taken to
the hospital in Roanoke in am
balances. John Minnick, one of
the towns undertakers. who is

victims who needed them. 1t was

house.

to a rival candidate.
The charge was made yesterday
by Hugh J. Monaghan II, Balti.
more attorney, who is opposing
Senator Tydings in the Demo.
cratic primary September 18.
Senator Tydings' attitude a.
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee and a member
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee" Mr.. Monaghan de-
clared, was in a large part the
cause of our unpreparedness for
the North Korean attack on June
25."
TydingS' Stand ASsailed.
Mr.. Monaghan cited a news dis
patch from Washington on June
18 in which Senator Tydings was
quoted as suggesting repeated
contacts between Russian and
United States leaders to work out
a plan for peace between the two
countries.
This statement" Mr.. Mon
aghan said, was made one week
before the North Korean invasion
of the South Korean republic.
Where can we expect to get
when the chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee still
thinks on June 18 that we can
still negotiate with Stain? Cham
berlain's record at Munich is posi-
lively brilliant by comparison"
Mahoney Cites Letter.
At the same time, George P.
Mahoney, a candidate for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton, accused Gov. Lane of forcing
State merit system employees to
contribute to his political cam
paign.
The Baltimore contractor cited
letter that he said had been re-
ceived by a State employe. The
letter, he said, asked the recipient
to give assistance in financing
this campaign by sending us a
check for as large a subscription
as is possible for you to make"
Let every member of the States
merit system Know here and now,"
Mr.. Mahoney said, that when I
am elected, the merit system of
this State will be completely di-
vorced from politics"
