possible. The draft Of a revised
Organic Act Of the Virgin Is
lands as proposed by e
st. Thomas Chamber Of Com
merce is quite similar to H.R.
5l81. T h e most important
changes are the inclusion in
the Chambers draft Of provi-
sions designed, in the Cham
.ber's opinion, to IN
business and the economy Of
the Virgin Islands.
One Of the important pro-
posals of the Chamber Of Com
merce is the elimination Of
any United States Customs
duty on goods imported for
use or sale in the Islands. The
provision reads as follows:
mo duty shall be imposed or
collected on goods imported
into the Virgin Islands for use
Or sale in the Virgin Islands"
AT the present time q so ad
valorem duty is levied on
foreign goods imported into
the Islands. The Chambers
proposal is designed to estab-
lish a free port status in the
Virgin Islands.
Another economic feature is
a provision allowing for arti-
cles to be admitted into the
United States free Of duty i

THE DECISION WAS a narrow one,

self only to the question whether aIlaw passed IN 1877, and
which had never been used very extensively, was effective or
not. Those who favored segregation in public eating places
argued that the District Council which passed the law old
not have the authority to do 50, and further that Congress IS
responsible for the District and could therefore not give any
group such as the District Council the right to pass any such
laws. The Supreme Coufs il its unanimous decision Justice
Jackson did not take parf1 held that Congress had the autho-
rity under Article ], section s, clause II Of the Constitution
to delegate its law-makngs to the District council
10 US HIS WAY, this decision strengthens, morally at
least, our stand that these Islands shall remain free from the
stain Of segregation, and that true democratic principles shan
prevail. sad would be the day indeed for these islands when
natives could not go wherever they pleased, whenever they
pleased Through the years we have known true freedom, and
we should not allow economic pressure, nor any traditions
from anywhere else to engraft themselves upon Us to our own.

EZZARD CHARLES GREAT
AGAINST LAYNE

NN3AAAN1@ Aa4AA ANAa
When boxing fans pass out
superlatives about fighters 1t Is
rare that a compliment drops in
the direction Of Ezzard Charles.
Fans who saw him in person or on
television when he butchered Rex
Layne into helplessness are
shouting glorious phrases in his
behalf.
Never before has this ringsider
seen Charles so ruthlessly eff
Gent and brutaIly severe in whip
ping an opponent. The first five
rounds went the way of all
Charles fights--the cautious
Cincinnati Cobra" outpointed
his man but taking no risks. Just
seconds before the end Of the
fifth, however, Layne committed
a suicidal blunder-he butted
Charles obviously.
Charles came out in the sixth
round apparently looking for
blood from Rex. He dished it out
from every angle, pummelling
Layne into a ground up hulk
from his head to his waistline.
Actually, the referee saved Layne
in this round because he gave
him an extra long rest before the
end Of that stanza.
In each Of the rounds Charles
poured 1t on. Layne would not go
down, at least not for the count.
He hit the canvas four times for
the evening. AS far as this ring
slider is concerned, this youngster
is nothing more than a human
punching bag against a good man.
Charles truly avenged that
Jack Dempsey decision" Layne
won from Charles in Salt Lake
City, Utah. If Charles shows this
form all the time he Is a likely
cinch to whip either Walcott or
Marciano in a heavyweight show
down.
As this ringsider sees it, Charles
should have that big outdoor
crack at the heavyweight title.
These Is no reason he should
fight Roland Lastarza first with
the winner getting the next title
bout.
Yes, outside Of Walcott and
Marciano, Charles is the only
heavyweight who can do some
thing in the ring.

Lenox Avenue was tuned In
Sunday afternoon with nobody
leaving the radio - whether in
FIrpo's at 1s5th and Lenox or
Bowman's on the Fiji where only
Giant lovers hang out-until Big
Joe Black got rid Of bigger Jawn
Mize-the ever dangerous batter
who was last man up IN the 9TH

score. Big Joe was called at the
beginning Of the 7th inning to do
job and a Job he did.
The Yanls big siege guns,
Mantle, Berra and Mize went
down before his twirling, ending
the game.
That day, the Yanlee-Dodgers
game drew the biggest crowd to
see a game In Lakeland, $500,
breaking previous records at st.
Petersburg. Not even in the goI-
den days Of the mighty Babe Ruth
did the Yanks play to such mobs.
At Lakeland, Sunday morning,
1000 people were in line at the
BAN park at 8. An overflow crowd
that actually showed up fractur-
ing color lines, attendance records
and everything else.
The Dodgers did it. If that isn't
a convincing argument for the
YanlIs when they start counting
heads this summer, nothing else
win convince them and other die
hards that Negro fans want to
see Negro ball players in the big
leagues. And that goes for all
teams minus dark faces.

Rocky came from way back to

cribes RoolSy's fighting ability;
''You can't compare Rocky to

different types. Louis was a
finisher and Rocky is a swinger.
I can ten you one thing. I didn't
know he could butt you as hard as
he could-rm going 70 win. I
don't care whether it's a decision
or a kayo. I'm prepared to 80 IS
rounds"
Jersey Joe's oldest son and a
group Of fellow students from
Virginia Union university had
planned TO come to Chicago for
the night. Now that the date has
been changed to May IS, there
may be some question as to
whether or not they win make it.
Walcott admires this school be-
cause of its religious background
and the high principles it teaches.
He expects his daughter to at
tend next semester as q freshman.
What the exchamp's plans for
the future are only he knows. He
says he win decide after the fight
whether or not he well remain in
the ring.
Fans paid only 80 cents each TO
watch Walcott train while those
going up to Holland, Mich, put
down a dollar TO see the cham
pion train. Here In Chicago, Jer-
sey Joe is a popular man, how
ever, especially as far as charit-
able groups are concerned.
Everybody seems TO have a new
center, a new camp or a new
something TO build-with Jersey
Joe's financial help. Of course.
This ringsider certainly Is sorry
the heavyweight title bout has
been postponed because his appe-
tite sure has been whetted for the
big one. And he finds that the
Walcott gang is a pretty good
bunch Of guys who probably win
havea champion on their hands in
five weeks.

AT TIE RINGSIDE
By LUX Virgil Overbea
JERSEY JOE SURE LOOKED
GOOD IN TRAINING


Just when this ringsider was
ready to write that he figured
Jersey Joe Walcott would take
care Of Rocky Marciano and re-
gain the heavyweight champion
ship Of the world, a sparring part
ned beat the ex-chanp to the
punch and the fight has been
postponed.
An you folks who think age is
against Jersey Joe had better
think again. The old man amazed
US Chicagoans with his agility
and durability while in training
here at the Midwest Gymnasium.
Not only was he spry, but he even
looked younger than his SO years.
1t appeared that Jersey Joe
was preparing for a 15-round bat
tie. He apparently was building
up three weapons 10 throttle
Marciano-stamina, speed and a
brutal left hook. He figured to
fight a hit and dance battle.
How did the old man look? On
stamina he appeared in excellent
shape. He outworked three spar
ring partners and an assistant
trainer with the medicine ball.
After 1t was all over they all
looked wearier than he did. IN
less he suddenly falls apart he
can go IS rounds.
Speed Jersey Joe definitely
has that. Much of his training
time is devoted to moving out Of
the range of his sparmates'
blows. One Of his sparring part
ners is a quick-moving middle
weight, Tommy Sloan. Joe does a
good job of keeping up with him,
sAs far as lethal weapons are
concerned, Walcott's left hook
appears to be his greatest asset.
His jab seems to be a singing az
fair too. Joe appears to have
sharp reflexes, swift moving legs
and a good wallop with either
hand.
Possibly the ex-champs armor
has one weak spot, ability to take
a blow. Here, Joe has been build
ing up his old shield with lots of
work with the medicine BAN and
by allowing his sparmates to
pummel him for awhile before he
cuts loose. He is preparing for
body blows in particular.
PsychologicaIly, Jersey Joe is
ready. He has the usual Jersey
Joe confidence which carried him
to two great fights with joe
Louis. He is sure that he win de-
feat Marciano this time. His lat
