Martinique Deemed
"A "Nuturul" for
Attrdc. Tourist Trade

"The beauth of the island,
its historical associations, and
the hospitality and charm of
its inhabitants, make Martini
que a natural in so far as the
tourist trade is concerned"
This is the opinion of Louis S.
Law, Executive Secretary of

ton of the Pavilion du Tour

Mr. Law said the Caribbean

summer resort for Americans.
The money to be spent on the

from the annual contributions
paid by the islands participant
ing in the regional set-up.
The object in view is to de-
velop the summer traffic in all
the Caribbean islands. The
drive is expected to begin
around April Is.
Mr.. Law recently returned
to Trinidad from St. Vincent
and Martinique. He said Saint
Vincent has great tourist pos

transport service and publicity

Macarthur Ready
To Talk Peuce With
Chinese Commander

General Douglas Macarthur,
his United Nations armies still
holding the initiative,
has announced that he is ready
to confer in the field at any
time with the Communist Com
mander in an effort to bring
military operations to a halt.
IT 1t can be done without sacri-
tlclng UN detectives. These
detectives mean, he said, that
the Korean Republic and peo-
pie cannot be sacrificed in anv
agreement to end the fighting.
Meanwhile, General Mac
Arthur said, its becoming in
creaslngly evident that the UN
air and sea bombardments of
communist supply lines have
left the enemy without troops
and equipment necessary to
sustain operations. He added
that the results of the fighting
show that communist China
lacks the industrial resources
to produce material to conduct
modern war.

BOSTON, June 25.-In show

With high hopes, last Friday

American League in some years.
After splitting a four-game
series in New York with the

FRANKFURT. Germany, June
Is. A bewildered and y ~
young man stole the show from
Soviet sentries and other in
lcidental attractions on an Army
duty train from Berlin to Frank
Ifurt last night.
It was a rare treat for Army
travellers and they clustered
Iaround-from colonies to clergy
mans teen-age daughter. For
Sugar Ray Robinson. however, it
was the most subdued moment of
his otherwise gay and triumphal
European tour.
Other and over. he refought
those two brief ring fiurries in
which he was accused of and dis
lqualified for kidney punching
his German opponent. Gerhard
Hecht.
Painful Way to Win.
A kidney punch is illegal under
international boxing rules. But
most ringside characterization
and German-agreed that Hecht
turned into the punches both
times. 1t is a painful but effective
way to get a decision.
Far more upsetting to Robinson
was the near riot of a crowd of
5000 around Berlin's open-air
ring. They whistled. booed, threw
beer bottles into the ring and
generally provided what one re-
strained German sports writer de-
scribed today as an "indescribable
scandal"
Sugar Ray had no sense Of any
wrongdoing. 1t was a tragic and
inexplicable reverse of the well
come he has received everywhere
else.
The behavior of the Berlin
crowd was the cause of some fin
gerpointing by other Germans.
One Munich promoter instantly
offered a rematch with a guaran-
tee that the crowd will not dis
grace itself"
Opinion Is Divided.
German experts were by no
means unanimous in their views.
Several insisted the fight should
not have been allowed to resume
after the first kpockdown. No one
believes Hecht had the slightest
chance to win other than by a
technicality over the dazzling
champion.
AS we left the train this morn
ing Sugar Rays spirits were on
the way up.
After meeting last night and
again today, committees Of the
West German Boxing Association
had decided to set aside the dis
qualification verdict and rule it a
mo decision"

Last-PIace Pirates
Win Two With Aid
OF 6 Ex-CardinaIs
By Joe ReichIer
Assoeioisd Press Sports Writer


1t may not be such a breeze for
Brooklyn after all. Unless Sun
days signs were wrong, those
dashing Dodgers may find the
pennant road rougher than they
had been given reason to expect
recently.
The Dodgers dashed into yes
terday's double-header against
the Pirates in Pittsburgh with
great anticipation. They were set
to sweep both games and return
to Flatbush pacing the National
League by at least eight games.
The Pirates were buried deep
in the cellar and had lost IA of
their last Is games at Forbes
Field. Furthermore, the Dodgers
had beaten them 10 consecutive
times in Pittsburgh, including q
1871, one-hit drubbing only the
day before. And Brooklyn had
won nine Of II on the road.
Lightning Strikes Twice.
It looked easy. Especially 10
those who had predicted the
Dodgers would win the nag by a
dozen games following the acqui-
sition Of Outfielder Andy Pafko
and Pitcher Johnny Schmitz from
Chicago.
But then lightning struck-not
once, but twice-as the Pirates
rose UP and dumped the Dodgers,
lot and 5-z, to chop a game
and q half from their first-place
lead.
New York's second-place Giants
overcame a SO deficit to outscore
the Cubs, 10-7. and climbed within
six games Of Brooklyn.
Stan Musial was a one-man
show as he paced the st. Louis
Cardinals to a 6-5 victory over
the Boston Braves in IA innings.
Cincinnati and Philadelphia d.
vided doubleheader. The Reds
took the opener, 81. The Phillies
grabbed the second, AZ.
In the American League the
persistent Yankees whitfield an
other half-game off the first-place
margin Of the Chicago White Sox.
The Yanks clipped the Indians,
5-3, and advanced to within one
game Of the White Sox, who split
a double bill in Boston. Chicago
won the opener, 6-5, but dropped
