sion.
He claimed that Archie Moore
kayoed Ezzard Charles and holds
the edge over him.
That was my cue and here is
my story. In his 21st fight, back
in 1941, Charles was licked by a
ring cutey, Ken Overlin.
The ex-champ, super duper
boxer, outslapped Charles, in fact
he slapped his moustache around
good. Charles took it in stride and
told his managers to get him a
match.
He won his next two by knock
outs and then whipped Teddy
Yarosz, former middleweight
champion.
While we were searching the
record books for Charles top
performances, we noticed how he
did against Jimmy Bivins, Lloyd
Marshall and Elmer (Violent)
Ray the second time out. All OF
these young guys whipped Chas
first time out, but like Joe Louis,
Charles murdered them the next
time.
During 1947, my desk received
letters and loads of prepared fight
releases on Archie Moore, the
fighter we had written about
since his cub days down in Aus
tralia. The billing on one of those
letterheads said: "Archie Moore
the New Joe Louis"
Well, on Jan. 5, 1948, at Cleve-
land, Charles faced this new Joe
Louis, Archie Moore, and stopped
him. In the case of Bivins and
Marshall, one of the few men to
knock Charles out, the present
heavyweight boss met them
third time scoring knockout over
both. Archie Moore should have
had a fight ages ago with Joe
Maxim and redhead Bob Murphy.
Archie kayoed Bob Satterfield,
Chicago's great kid, and is a tire
mendous fighter or was up to his
current Jim Bivins meeting. But
to say he is as good as brother
Charles, I just can't agree with
you.

NEGRO SIAMESE
TWINS THRIVE

CHICAGO, Ill. - Mary Yvette
and Gladys Yvonne Jones, twin
Negro girls who are joined at the
head, are alive and thriving, 20
months after their birth-much
to the bewilderment of doctors
who were certain the infants
couldn't survive.
Ebony, picture magazine, this
month published photographs OF
the twins, who are, without ques-
ton, one of the strangest phenom-
enons in medical history. Home
for the youngsters is the General
Hospital in Los Angeles where
they live in a special double
length crib.
The twins are normal in every
other respect. Curtailed in their
movement, they are given special
phsiotherapy to keep their bodies
and limbs exercised and growing.

to live a long time in their han
dicapped state, barring one d.
sastrous occurrence" says Ebony.
"That is the possibility that one,
growing a bit stronger than the
other, might suddenly twist her
neck and break the neck OF the
other"
The parents of the twins have
since been divorced. The mother
Mrs. Villa Jones, th1nly-bu1It

DISCRIMINATORY LEGISLATION

Section 407 of the Department of Agriculture Appropriation Bill for the fiscal year 1852 would limit payment of the 25 per cent cost of living allowance persons recruited in continental United States while denying it to resident Alaskans.
 That this is discriminatory and unjust IS apparent at once It would establish a vicious precedent o1 tandem pay rates for identical work-based not upon merit but upon the geographical origin of the em- ployee It would aggravate already serious per sonne turnover problem and raise an economic bar rier to the recruitment of competent help within the Territory.
 It is manifestly unfair to contemplate, for ex- ample two stenographers of like experience ana apity performing identical duties in the same ofce at o- ferent salary levels; yet this is precisely the condl- ton that will obtain if Section 407 is retained as part of the bill.
 As an economy measure, the proposal fails al the outset Much of the saving in salary expense would be offset by the heavy expense involved n'

 AT LIONS MEETING

A Memorial Day talk was given by active Legionnaire Robert Drtix- man at regular meeting of the Lions club at the Baranof hotel Monday noon. Druxman stressed the powers of education and proper ex- ample in overcoming the evil forces in the world causing wars.

The fund amounts to ap- proximately g. 00O. The cost of in stallation to the city would be about another $2,0Oo.
 After discussion it was voted to send postcards to all fund contrib utors and those objecting to using the money in this way, to get re- funds. The original idea was to in- stall heating unit which was found to be too expensive to operate.
