Robinson-Turpin Fight Featured Al 20th f..::::v fan.::::::.v

The fight picture of the recent RobinSon-Turpin bout opens tonight at the 2Oth Century Theatre. Com panion feature will be the M-G-M film, Angry God"
 A hungry fighter, as every old boxer knows, is the best fighter Sugar Ray Robinson was not hungry fighter as he climbed into the ring at Earl's Court in London At 29 he was only afraid of losing the egg in his beer or the pearl in his oyster By contract, Randy Turpin, 23, who shuffled into the other corner wearing the shabbiest of robes, was starved He was an ex-cook in the Royal Navy, the son of white mother and Negro sol- dier from British Guiana, and had earned little money or prestige in winning 43 of his 46 fights. This was his big chance and he lit into Sugar Ray as if he had never heard of the latter's fearsome reputation.
 Two rounds went by before Rob- inson landed a solid blow Not until the sixth did Sugar Ray win a round. Ringside experts could hardly believe their eyes; the worlds cleverest fighter was being suck cred by an adversary who came in too low and much too open. But Robinsons footwork was leaden, his timing frightful. In the seventh a troublesome cut appeared over Sugar Rays left eye. It was Tur- pins head putting him in clinch, that did the damage. From then until the end of the fight Turpin kept peppering the bad eye and had Robinson on the verge of knock out in the 14th. When it was over nobody waited for the referee tel raise Turpins hand. It was obvious that Britain had a new world cham pion and the crowd went wild.

Alaska Cancer Group Provides Aid for Anchorage Child

Radium treatments for a Swear old Anchorage girl, who recently had a malignant growth removed, are being made available through funds of the Alaska division of the American Cancer Society, accord ing to Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, commander of the society's Alaska division.
 This is the first substantial con- tribution the Alaska cancer group has made to a special patient, she said. The child is an out-patient at a Seattle hospital. Assistance of the Alaska society has been of great value to the family, whose funds were depleted by costs.
 This is striking and dramatic illustration of the way our service to cancer victims operates" Mrs. Hermann said.
 This year much of the fund was spent on an educational program. Value of the visit to Alaska Of a team of cancer specialists, arranged through the Alaska society has been acknowledged as far-reaching During their visits to Ketchlkan' Juneau, Fairbanks and Anchorage the cancer specialists examined over 200 patients.
 This proved to be an excellent service to cancer victims, both real and potential, and a valuable pro- feet in the field of professional education" Mrs. Hermann said.

Trucks VIII! Be
 Weighed for Travel On Alaska Roads

Truck weighing scales will be in- stalled at strategic points of en- trance to Alaska's highways, It was announced this morning by Cover nor Ernest Gruening, chairman of the Territorial Road Board.
 Truck scales were the main order of business at meeting of the board yesterday afternoon, attended by Gruening, Highway Engineer Frank Metcalf and Territorial Trea- surer Henry Roden.
 It was pointed out by Gruening that many trucks are operating over the highways in Alaska with loads in excess of the allowable weights. It is planned to install scales at Val dez. Seward, Haines, Fairbanks, An chorage and Tok Junction. It IS expected the Alaska Road Commis- sion will furnish the scales.
 Present plan is to issue tickets to truck drivers when their trucks are weighed. The tickets. like drlv- CTS licenses will be subject to ln- spection by highway patrolmen at any time along the highway. This process, it was said, would discour- age any driver from slipping by the scales.
 Addition to the highway patrol force will probably have to be made to take care of the weighing, Gruen- ing said.
 Metcalf reported that the Terri torial ferry Chilkoot showed 'no money loss" in operation during T,,1x

Non-Airlnari Is
 Truman Choice for Top Navy Command

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-tP-Adm. William M. Fechteler, who steered clear of the "Admirals' revolt" against administration policy is President Trumans choice for the top Navy command.
 The President sent to the Senate yesterday the nomination of Fech- teler, now commander of the Atlan- tic fleet, to be Chief of Naval Op erations, succeeding the late Adm. Forrest P. Sherman who died July P while on a military diplomatic mission to Europe
 Fechteler, 55 years old and with 35 years of Navy service, has had wide experience in virtually every type of warship-except submarines and aircraft carriers.
 That appeared to be one of the reasons why MT. Truman chose him, because he was not an airman and thus not touched by the zeal with which Navy airmen plunged into the controversy with the Defense Department and the Air Force three years ago. There have been strong indications in recent weeks that the feud between the Air Force and Navy = long-range land based bombers vs. carrier borne air power might boil to the surface again.
 In choosing Fechteler, the Presl- dent passed by Adm. Arthur w. Radford, chief of the Pacific fleet, senior of four-star Admirals on ac- tive duty. Radford is a Navy ar, man who played a part in the old Navy-Air Force controversy.
