Thirty-second of a Series

An announcement that cigarette vending machines in some parts of the Territory are being tinkered up to require the deposit of 30 cents instead of two-bits in exchange for a pack of smokes shows that the taxers are going to be hard put to keep pace with the vendors.
 A couple of years ago, the price pretty generally went up to a quar- ter. There were places, of course where up until a week or so ago you could still buy cigarettes for 23 cents a bundle. but those places were relatively few.
 When the taxers were in session a short while ago, they argued that cigarette dealers were collecting an extra nickel and sticking two cents of it into their pockets and that the tax might just as vel be five cents as not.
 And so, beginning last Sunday All Fools Day, incidentally-the tax became five cents.
 Some of the vendors have given their answer to that by boosting the price still another nickel, Will the Legislature meet the challenge and up the tax to 8 dime? well have to wait two yeas to find out but at present only one of the 4d states has a higher cigarette tax than Alaska.
 Meanwhile, if all of the smokers who threatened to lay often cig- arettes do actually switch to snoose, pipe tobacco or chewing gum, the school construction fund will suffer rather than gain by the tax in- crease.
 But the records of the Depart ment of Taxation seem to indicate a contrary course of events. They show that the Alaska tax was paid on 797,888 cartons of cigarettes in 1949 and on 1,267,976 cartons in 1850, an increase of nearly half a million cartons. For the latter year, this figures out at nearly 12 cartons for each man, woman and child of the Territory's civilian popula- ton, it being assumed that the military gets it's smokes tax-free.
 Whether the increase in tax-paid cigarette sales in 1850 was due to greater effectiveness on the parts of Arthur Godfrey, Jack Benny and other hucksters or to a more efficient tax collection machinery has not yet been definitely estab- lished
 One thing the tobacco tax did do, apparently, was to drive cigar smokers to the cheaper brands. In 1949 tax of four cents apiece was paid on 567 cigars retailing at more than 35 cents each, but in 1850 there Wererflo sales reported in that

Julian keene Not
Listed In Light
Heavy Division

WASHINGTON, D. G. (NNPA)
- Boxing fans were puzzled by the
quarterly. ratings of the National
Boxing Association, which failed to
list Julian Keene in the light
heavyweight division but recog-
nized Jimmy Slade of New York
as an outstanding boxer.
Keene knocked out Slade in 2:29
~4of the sixth round of their bout
on the Bob Murphy-Jake LaMotta
card in Yankee Stadium on June
q. Keene pressed the fight from
the start and landed numerous
times on SHADES goatee with right
uppercuts and left hooks A volley
Of punches floored Slade for a
count of nine after the halfway
mark in the sixth. When Slade coli
1apsed on the ropes under another
volley, Referee Eddie Joseph stop
ped the bout.
Colonel Heinie Miller, chairman
of the District of Columbia Box
ing Commission and member of
the NBA, said he did not under
stand why Keene was omitted
from the ratings. He said the rat
ings were made up by a commit
tee of twenty-three and Keene
probably did not get enough votes
or his Colonel Miller's) word did
not carry enough weight.
Colonel Miller said he also
thought Gene Smith, an unbeaten
knockout artist, should have been
rated higher in the featherweight
division than he was, and that
Holly Minis, a local boxer who
made a game stand before losing
a decision to Champion Sugar Ray
Robinson, should have been listed
among the outstanding boxers.
The 37-year old Joe Louis was
listed as the logical contender for
Ezzard Charles title. The NBA
rated only two fighters, Rex

Napoleon met his "Waterloo,"

old Britisher met a very tough
American last Tuesday night in
London, but the American wasn't
quite tough enough.
At a sell-out crowd of 1900 cash
customers in the London Ear's
Court Arena, Randy Turpin, also
colored, of England, dethroned the
great pugulist Sugar Ray Robin
son, to win the worlds Middle
weight championship crown.
1t was Robinson's first defense of
the crown he won from Jake La
Motta in Chicago, Feb. IA, and
only the second loss in fabulous
career that stretched through IL
years of pro fighting and 133
bouts.
Sugar Ray has been promised
a return bout with Turpin in Sep

Bill Veeck Will Add Color
To St. Louis Browns

ST. LOUIS (NNPA) = Bill
Veeck, who contributed to the
saga. of baseball by hiring the age
less Satchel Paige to- help pitch the
Cleveland Indians to the 194S
World Championship and added
Larry Dolby to the roster of that
club, is all set to add bit Of
color to his newly acquired st.
Louis Browns.
In an effort to build a winning
ball club, Veeck announced last
Thursday that colored ball players
would be given every opportunity.
Neither the Browns nor the st.
Louis Cardinals now have any col
ored members. The Browns ac-
quired two in 1947 from the Kan
sas City Monarchs = Henry
Thompson, who is now playing
third base for the New York
Giants, and Willard Brown, but
both were released that same sea-
son.
Asked about Paige, Veeck said
Satchel wasn't exactly what the
Browns need although he's better
today than when we had him IN
Cleveland"
Disclosing that Abe Saperstein,
operator of the Harlem Globe
Trotters basketball team, was a
stockholder in the Browns and
cne of the clubs new chief talent
scouts, Veeck said that Saperstein
presently was attempting to sign
a Japanese picher whom Bill once
saw in Hawaii.
"Saperstein is familiar with
athletics all over the world" said
the sportshirted Veeck. 1t was
Saperstein who induced Veeck to
sign Paige to a Cleveland contract.
