New Theory OF
Earth's Origin
By Neol Sewil

BERKELEY, Calf. (ATLAS)
A new theory to account for the
creation of the earth has been Of
fered by DR.. Wendell Latimer,
professor of chemistry at the Uni

in the technical journal of Science.
The theory is a compost of
ideas suggested by biologists and
astronomers, together with some
theories on the chemistry of crea-

is an expert on the science con-
cerned with the mechanics of
heat.

Calls For
Congress To
Apologize

NEW YORK call for Con-
gress "to apologize to the Negro
people and our country" was is
sued today by a labor union.
The call came from Ernest
~Thompsan, secretary of the Fair
Practices Committee of the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers of America (UE).
In a letter to Congressman
Sam Rayburn, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Mr..
Thomspon stated:
"Last Friday our country was
witness to a most disgraceful in
suit to the Negro people in Am
erica by Representative Hender-
son Lanham (D-Gorgia) acting in
an Official capacity as represent
ative Of the United States House
of Representatives. Congressman
Lanham not only called Mr.. Will
liam Patterson, a Negro called be-
fore a Congressional Committee
as a witness, a "black- son-of a
BEECH, but also attempted to as
sault him.
"This action has brought a
disgrace upon the Congress of the
United States.
cit becomes the duty of the Con-
gress to apologize to the Negro
people and to our country. 1t is
also incumbent upon Congress to
discipline Congressman Lanham
for his actions.
"On behalf of the members of
the United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers of America, we
call upon you to take immediate
steps to grant redress tothe Negro
people of America for this insult
and to all the American people
who cherish decency and democra-
cy which this Congressional repre-
sentative has so viciously violat-
ed"

to see the fight.
Real beneficiary Of the bout was
the Damon Runyon Cancer fund
which will net an estimated $780,
900. The champion took only a
dollar for this bout, donating the
rest of his 80 percent take to the
fund. Fusari donated about five
percent of his take to the fund.
In taking the Fusari bout Ro-
binson demonstrated his great u
periority over the rest Of the well
terweights. Fusari ran throughout
the bout : his only goal apparent
ly was to avoid being knocked
out.
Actually Robinson could legiti-
mately retire from this division
because of lack of competition.
His weight making apparently
gives him a much rougher fight
that does any of his human op-
ponents.
Highest Fight Yet
To Come
Sugar Rays biggest fight is yet
to come, however. This nj will
be at the conference table when
he talks contract. The I%nternati-
onal Boxing club in offering him
only Is percent of the gate to
meet Jake LaMotta for his mid
dleweight crown, and Robinson
wants 20 percent.
1t is reported that Robinson has
said he would agree to make his
first three title defenses for the
IBC in case he whips LaMotta for
the crown. (He has done that
four times out of five bouts. Jake
is the only fighter to hold a de-
cision over him amateur or pro
since he has been fighting.)
In a title bout LaMotta does
not figure to come close to whip
ping Robinson although he is
younger than Ray. Lamotta is on
the downgrade. He probably has
no truly first rate fight left in
him except possibly for one last
stand against Robinson. Too much
beating taken in his better days
probably have taken their toll on
his body.
Ray, although not quite as
good as he once was, still figures
better than any middleweight now
active. He rarely has had to take
a beating in a fight because of his
clever boxing ability. He should

NEW YORK (ANP)-- From
Paul West, Harlem, comes this
note regarding Checkers and

Dear Al Moses:

like to ask you who are the great
white checker and chess champions
of the past 10 years?

co. I contend that during the
years I worked as a waiter in
Babylon, L. l., (1896) such cities
as Philadelphia and New York
were "cock fighting centers. Can
you check on this and tell me
what some of the prize money
amounted to please? R. H. Simp-
kins, NYC.
(A) In the matter of spectator
wagering together with the actual
battle stake, it ran at times as
high as $4,000 according to the re-
cord book of Frank G. Menke.
Cock fighting was prevalent in
such centers as Boston, Baltimore,
Washington, D. c., and the cities
you named.
(Q) Since Joe Louis is in
training to attempt a comeback,
when did he win the title and
what were the gate receipts?
S. H. T., st. Louis, Mo.
(A) June %, 1887. The gross
take was $715,470.

(A) That is a real stiff quest
ion for in my writings I have re-
garded Miss Gibson as the finest
I've seen. However, many tennis
lovers of 20 years back claim Ora
Washington, basketball and tennis
ace, to be foremost.
(Q) CAY Claims Jim Jeffries

his title which was won by Jack
Root in IL rounds; OBJ Claims
Root never won it but that Tom
my Burns did. Who is right, and
where does Jack Johnson come in
to the picture? Floyd Hamilton,
Toledo, O.
(A) Neither one is correct.
Marvin Hart, Kentucky born,
whipped Jack Root in 1905 for
the vacated title. Burns in 1906
whipped Marvin Hart. Jack John
son won title from Tommy Burns
on Dec. 25, 1908, Sidney, Aus

was stopped by the police in the
14th round. Burns was cut to
ribbons by the "golden-smiling"

earth was formed by condensation
of a cold cosmic cloud, which is in
agreement with other modern
ideas on cosmology. The scientist
then proceeds to cite in detail the
chemical reactions which reinforc-
ed this theory.
These particles fell together at
varying speeds, the heavier, metal
particles concentrating at the
center, the lighter materials on
outer layers. Heat from the radio
activity Of posassium and other
elements provided the energy for
the chemical reactions within the
earth which produced the atmos-
sphere, water, and mountains and
continents of the earth.
It appears that about half Of
the solid particle material in the
universe has condensed into plan
cts and stars, DR.. Latimer said.
The remainder is in the great CO.'S

space, clouds from which new

the universe.

WASHINGTON, July 26 - R =
Senators were reported today to
have pressed Secretary of Defense
Johnson for speed-up in rearma-
ment beyond the $10,500,000, in
crease asked by President Truman.
Senator Young (R-ND) told re-
porters that it was the attitude OF
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee that even greater strides ought
to be made in rearming than pro-
posed by the President.
He said this attitude developed at
a closed hearing at which Johnson,
General Omar N. Bradley, Chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
and heads of the Armed Services
testified.
Senator Wherry (R-Neb), another
committee member, told reporters:
This 10,500,O00.OO0 is only the
first bite in the arms program.
Young said johnson and Bradley
assured committee members that
everything possible will be done to
speed up purchases of military
equipment.
Johnson's statement to the COM
.mittee answered critics Of military
policies during the past several
years. He said this country's over
all fighting potential was greater
at the outbreak of the Korean war
than at any time since World War
II rehabilitation.
Johnson's statement to the COM
mittee staunchly defended military
policies before the Korean fighting
began.
