American Unionists'
Counsel Grdtifies
Peruvian Visitor

Washington, D. C. = A Peruvian
government official who is re-
turning to his country after a 10
weeks visit here, said he had dis
cussed Peruvian labor problems
with American unionists and was
"glad to see they have a greater
understanding than ever before"
of his country's problems.
The visitor, Victor A. Casagran-
di, Senator from the Department
of Loreto, Lima, consulted with u.
S. labor and government officials
on difficulties connected with a
shift of workers from agriculture
to oil production. Peru anticipates
expansion of its petroleum produc-
ton, Casagrandi pointed out. He
said he expects increased unioni-
cation and higher living standard
for many as a result of this ex-
pansion.
The Peruvian's visit here was un-
der the U. S. State DEPARTMENTS
program for the exchange of per-
sons. The Office of International
Labor Affairs of the U. :. Depart
ment of Labor arranged his pro-
gram of travel.
For 8 years prior to his election
to the Senate in 1851, Casagrandi
served as Director General of La
Dor. The Department Of Loreto,
which he represents, is the largest

Chinese Battalion
Captures Position

A Chinese battalion captured
the entire positions with a surprise
assault December %. A few days
later the Allies jumped off in a
counter-drive that precipitated the
present "battle of the bulge. "but
were able to regain only part Of
the position.
Four hours later UN troops
conuter-charged again, attacking
what the Eighth Army described
as "an important enemy hill posi-
ton" They were forced back and
artillery fire was laid on the en-
envy.
The Allied troops then resumed
the attack, advancing within 80
yards of the Red position, but
were then thrown back again.

one reason he backed out of the
assignment was because the Presi-
dent couldn't get any first rate
Democrats or Republicans to serve
with him.
''The newspapers said the De
mocrats refused to serve for fear
Murphy would uncover still more
graft and incompetence and hence
peril the 1852 election. And they
said the Republicans refused to
serve for fear the commission
would whitewash the administra-
ton and hence peril the 1862
election as far as the COP is con-
cerned.
"It may interest you to know
that a number of my Republican
friends were pretty sore about
this. They felt that if a Republi-
can was aked to erve in the in
terest of honesty and better gov
eminent, he ought to step up to
the job and grab the ak, let the
chips fall where they may.
NATURALLY, it is hard to find a
Democrat in Ohio. But I know a
few, mad they seemed to feel the
same way: that in the interest of
general morality in public life,
able democrats should have agreed
to aid Judge Murphy no matter
what was uncovered in the investi-

knew all along that something
must happen when he connected,
which he did almost invariably.
His successors are mechanical
men. Until Marciano came along
Walcott was the best to watch,
even though he experienced con-
siderable difficult in whipping a
string Of opponents. With him it
was win a few then lose.
Charles, a fair sort of fighter,
never was worth a nickel as an
attraction. He was, and probably
still is, a fair boxer and puncher,
but his style was such asto put you
to sleep, and undoubtedly still is.
He was good by comparisonwith
the men he had to meet, until Wal

heir third meeting. Charles won

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 (INS)-
The hottestman in the heavyweight
division these days from a stand
point Of box office is the coolest
in actual activity.
Rocky Marciano is grabbing a
buck here and a buck there refer
eeing wrestling matches and pur-
suing other odds and ends of min
or chores where fellows like Har-
ry Matthews, the sizzling light
heavyweight, are growing fat off
his pickings in his division.
However, if Marciano's SEEM
ing hardness in going to bat since
he belted out Joe Louis some three
months ago is contrary to the US
ual procedure, there are two fair
ly good reasons for this.
Firstly, he is most interested in
getting a crack at the title by
meeting the winner of a return
match between Champion Jersey
Joe Walcott and Ezzard Charles
Secondly, there is an absolute
dearth of heavyweight to choose
from.
The rock thus is resting ant
waiting and hoping-hoping tina
Walcott will sometime in Marcel
make good his contract to Civ
Charles a shot at the title he helc
until Jersey Joe belted him on
last summer.
If the Champion and the ex
Champion, now the No. / challeng
er, tangle in March, Rocky will b
in line for a lucrative crack at tn
winner outdoors early in the sum
mer.
The International Boxing Gu
repeatedly is working toward thi
end, confident that ere this yea
has rolled along to its destine
finish Marciano will provide som
good box office in at least on
fight and possibly be the big mes
ticket into the future. All he ha
to do is win the title.
There has been a deal of fumb
ing and fiddling since Joe Lou:
became a has-been to find a SINH
ar attraction and Marciano alor
looks like a fellow who can II
the bill.
He will never see the day /
will be as good a fighter as Lou
was once upon a time, but he

ability to get in there and real

Battle Studies Penalty
For Woman Attacker
By the Associated Pnasa

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. 19.-The
life or death fate of a young rapist
lay in the hands of Gov. Battle
today.
Albert Jackson, jr.. colored, is
scheduled to die next Monday fol-
the rape of a 40-year-old white
woman in Charlottesville.
He was to have been executed
June 80. But a storm knocked
out power lines to the State Peni-
Itentiary and prevented the SEN
Itence from being carried out.
Since then, the Governor has
been petitioned to commute the
I24-year-old mans sentence. Yes
Iterday at a communication hearing
he listened to arguments as to why
Jackson should not be given the
supreme penalty.
Spottswood w. Robinson III
Richmond attorney for Jackson
said there is doubt that his client
committed rape.
Mr.. Robinson's contention was
Isamilar to the argument used in
Jackson's appeal to the State Su-
ipreme Court when it was con-
tended the woman had agreed to
have relations with him.
Mr.. Robinson also argued that
Negroes are consistently discrimi-
mated against in rape cases ir
Virginia. Since 1908, he said, 81
Negroes have been executed fol
the crime, while no white man has
