Emily Post

A daughter tells me: Mother
still feels that paying visits with
out letting people know before
hand that one is coming is cor
rect even though she agrees that
it is not practiced as much today.
I, on the other hand, think that
paying visits without calling first
to ask II such visit will be well
come, is completely out! I know
in my own case I like to know If
people are coming because ordi-
narily haven't the free time to
sit dressed and ready for company
even in the late afternoons. Will
you discuss this?"
The visit of yesterday was part
of an afternoon routine and
amounted to no more than leav-
ing your visiting card first at this
house and then at that one and
only rarely finding any one at
home. Today we are very busy
and paying these really empty
visits are felt by most of us to be
a waste of time. Therefore. we Of
today telephone and ask this or
that friend If she will be at home
that afternoon, and 60 to see her,
or make q date for another day.
Certainly this is q sensible custom.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18- The
Harlem Globetrotters, Americas
fabulous team of Negro basketball
stars, "have proved themselves am
bassadors of good will wherever
they have gone," according to the
issue of Look magazine just out.
That commentator is from the
U. S. State Department, and is in
cluded in the unusal picture story
about the Trotters in Look. The
magazine points out that the team
travelled more than $4,000 miles
last year and played $40 games
before more than 2 million people.
In Berlin they attracted $4,000
fans-a world record-and it was
for this performance that they
were complimented by the U. S.
government.
But the Trotters have played be-
fore small crowds, too, and in I'M
usual places, like drained swim
ming pools and haylofts. Once, in
tiny Montana town, they didn't
think anyone would show up. The
village had just 80 houses, and132
people. But the local promoter
put in a general telephone call
through the area. Each circuit had,
200 phones. 1t was like a radio

MUNSAN, Dec. Is GNS)-The
Korea truce talks ground to a
virtualstandstill today, with neither
the Allies nor the Reds making a
move to break deadlocks on the
war prisoner and troop limitation
issues.
Two joint subcomittees, meet
ing at Pan Nun JON, spent their
sessions in repeating old arguments
for or against the various points
proposed by both sides.
They could agree only on one
thing-to meet again at II o'clock
Tuesday morning g pm. Monday

The delegates refused to bulge
from their previously stated posi-
tons despite the approach of the
December 9th deadline for con-
clusion Of an armistice along a
tentative truce line, already map
ped.
A report that an extension OF
that deadline had been requested
during Mondays round Of fruitless
talks was flatly denied by a United
Nations spokesman.
"That has not been proposed by
either side," said Brig. Gen. Will
liam P. Nuckols, briefing officer

AAAOCA AA0CIOAAQA DOA11lS O1UO .
champions with three year
Chairman Bob Christenberry, Of
the New York State Athletic Com
mission, has started an investiga-
ton to find out whether the IBC
is in violation Of state monopoly
laws, but must likely will conclude
eventually that there is no basis
for action.
The IBC, as the situation stacks
up without all the facts at hand,
sAekH merely to get the inside
track on title defenses by the
champions.
Things that need an investigation
far worse than this include the
seeming inability of good fighters
to get a Madison Square Garden
shot and the oft-mentioned alleged
tie-up between boxing and hood
lums.
Chairman Christenberry plans
to get around to this soon, too &C
cording to reports.
That the IBC has a pretty good
strangle-hold on boxing is appar-
ent, but whether that actually is a
monopoly and whether it is bad for
boxing itself and the public I
wouldn't. know.
The game generally is pretty we'll
regulated-or as we'll regulated it
seems as such a business can be-
and the nefarious doings n not
inspired by and seldom sanctioned
by promoters.
They are smart enough-most
of them, that is to know that
fixes hurt business. 1t is some Of,
the managers and fighters who too
often stupidity foul up the busin-
ess.
All this comes at a time when box
ing has reached a low ebb in talent
due to almost continual military
kervice for potential prize-fight-
ers during more than a decade.
All sports have been hit hard by
the wars and threats of wars, and
may eventually suffer more than
they can now realize from the
scandals which have of Late be-
come so prevalent.
Sports are not the same any
more for those mentioned reasons
and too often are not as interest
ing as formerly. The real standout
stars are as good as any the world
has seen, but they are scarcer now
and down beneath them there is a
trend toward mediocrity.
Perhaps the IBC realizes this
fully in seeking to tie up thecham-
pions withexclusive contracts. Good
fighters are so scarce as to make
the few able ones real prizes.
That the IBC is being investi-
gated for this by the New York
Commission and byFederal probers
, 1951-12-18

seeking monopolies also is a trend
of the times. Everywhere you look,
Investigations and most Of them
justified.
Whatever comes out Of all this,
the purpose Of at least giving our
sports a semblance of policing will
have been served, and at a time
when it is SO sorely needed.
Which is an admission that sports
in America have reached a rather
saddening state when they must be
under constant surveillance, but
you know about basketball you are
learning about football, and, of
course, boxing long has been in
i'll repute.
