NEW YORK, (GLOBAL)-This
Marciano-LaStarza fight coming
up in September is the tamest
thing to come along in the sports
field in long time. It's far cry
from the days of the old Joe Louis
fights when the town would be
buzzing for weeks ahead, and eX-
citment would run high.
In those days, hotels and room
ing houses would be booked solid a
month ahead of the fight date, res
taurantS and bars would make pre-
parationS for increased business,
and people would get ready to en-
terrain out Of town relatives who
came to the fight from half way

colorful contest and Joe Louis filled
the bill as a colorful champion.

when he staked his prey, and

then, Joe was more than a Negro

ment of Colored People this week.
Mr.. Higley made the statement
IN reply to Clarence Mitchell,
Director of the NAACP's Wash
lngton Bureau. Mr.. Mitchell urged
the new VA chief to drop all racial
segregation, including designa-
lions on hospital or domici'iary
care application forms.
The NAACP said that racial
designations on application forms
open the door for a prejudiced per-
son to discriminate against vet
Grams of certain racial groups.
The NAACP also charged that
some hospitals of the VA exclude
colored veterans suffering from
critical ailments because so-called
colored beds are not available.
Mr.. Higley said this part of the
NAACP's complaint causes Ad-
miral Boone (Chief Medical Direc-
tor for VA and me considerable
worry. If such thing has happen
ed, it is wrong. This charge is be-
ing looked into and instructions is
sued that veterans who are in need
of care shall be admitted if beds
are available"
The new Administrator, speak
ing on segregation in general, said,
I'm certain areas, it has been
found that segregation to some
degree is necessary for the medi-
cal well-being of patients. We are
continually reviewing this situa-
ton and are eliminating segrega-
ton as repidly as possible without
sacrificing medical consideration. +"
In commenting on Mr.. Higley's
statement, Mr.. Mitchell said, Gas

drab in comparison to the days
of the Brown Bomber.
We see where Nal Whitfield has
come up with another record. The
Olympic 800-meter champion set
the world record for 1000 meters
this week, clocked in 20.8. The
previous record was established
last October by Ollie Aberg of
Sweden. His record was 2:21.3.
Also competing in the race at
Eskilstuna, Sweden was Reggie
Pearman, representing the New
York Pioneer Club who finished
second.
Roy Campanella is still on his
hitting streak and doesn't show any
signs of cooling down. He has al
read Y set record for runs batted
in among Catchers for the second
season, and seems to be making a
strong bid for the. MVP award
again this year. Interviewed dur
ing one of his hitting streaks re-
Gently, Campy was asked if he
though he would reach Babe Ruth's
record. Campy replied that he
DOESN'T think in terms of streaks
or records. He just plays each
game as it comes along and does his
best all the time Which is
probably why he is one of the
games greats.
The Rookie of the Year Award
is going to be a tough one this
year. Junior Gillian and Bill Bru-
ton at times seem about neck and
neck. However, since Gillian had a
little rest, he returned to second
base and his figured prominently
in every win the Dodgers have
chalked up. AS of this date, we
would say Gillian has the edge.
He doesn't raise much sand, and
he's not a flashy player, therefore,
he may not attract attention i'm
mediately. But the kid has class
and has proved he really belongs.
He would have to in order to re-
place the old firebrand Robinson.

these checks, veteran-trainees must
meet all their own training ex-
penses-tuition, fees, books and the
like.
AS another point to be kept in
mind, Kinds urged veterans to
check over carefully their applica-
ton forms, and make sure they're
completely filled out, before mail
ing them to VA. A photostat or
certified copy of separation papers
must accompany the applications.
Incomplete applications can mean
unnecessary delays, Kinds said.
Veterans who know what their
training program and objective are
must list these items on the ap-
plication. Those who don't, and
who want VA counseHng as an aid
in making up their minds, merely
leave these two sections blank and,
instead, fill in the section that re-
quests counseling.
Kinds has one final reminder for
veterans who know what courses
they want to take. If it's possible,
these veterans should make their
own arrangements for gaining ad-
mittance to the school of their
choice, before they file their APP
plications.

Speaking of racial designations
on hospital records, Mr.. Higley
said, "The point you raise regard
ing designation of race on the
hospital application form appears
to have merit. l am having this
given careful study to determine

sugar mounts in the blood stream
