/ NEW YORK, (GlobaD - If any
body thinks a good runner is just
guy with strong legs who can
hold his breath a long time, he's
got another think coming. Running
is fine art, and those who really
get to the top in that department,
do it scientifically. Take Nal Whit
field, for instance. He wants to
run a 4-minute mile and in keep
ing that before himself as a goal,
he is giving it exhaustive study.
In a recent interview with Ar
thur Daley of the New York
Times, Whitfield went thoroughly
into a discussion of his goal and
how he hopes to achieve it. He has
compared himself with Wes San
tee, whom he says is the greatest
miller he's ever seen, has compared
his style with that of the famous
miller, and has compared them ac-
tually ION paper" Whether he
achieves the 4-minute mile or not,
you have to hand it to him, he's
thorough and a thinker.
Major league officials and play
ers' representatives have finally
come to an agreement on players
pension plan for baseball players.
Under the plan, 60 per cent of the
All-Star game gate receipts, radio
and television profits and of radio
and television receipts from the
world series will go directly to the
players pension fund. Also, the
administration of the fund will be
handled by two selected major
league owners and two selected
player representatives.

New York Times
Shares BowIes'
Spotlight
BY JUNE L'RHUE

NE WYORK, (GlobaD = The
New York Times Magazine, Sun
day publication of the New York
Times, on February 7th, carried
Chester Bowles' article titled "The
Negro-Progress and Challenge"
BY so doing, the Magazine so dis
tinguished itself as to share the
Bowles' spotlight.
And so, this column, awarding
Mr.. Bowles its Summa Cum Laude
last week for what is undoubtedly
one of the most honest and articu-
late presentation of the Negro is
sue, now pays tribute to "The
Times"
In carrying Mr.. Bowles' piece,
the Magazine of the worlds top
newspaper put all of its facilities
at the disposal of a leavening and
somewhat unpopular truth. Just
as few white writer's have been in
clined to bring out aspects of the
truth about Negroes that might
expose discriminatory practices,
few white sections of the press
have dared to publish them.
But the New York Times Maga-
zine did publish the story, and to
ponder the act is to become pro-
gressively more appreciative; for
it is not only a conspicuous and
notable act because of the unique
status of the Times quality-wise
and quantity-wiSe. The Sunday cir
culation of the Times is about
1,096,73 And so, the real truth
about remarkable race has been
multiplied by that number. In
other words, over a million people
are more intelligent and probably
more sympathetic about the Negro
issue.
When it is considered how much
damage might result from magni-
flying a falSehood or half truth that
many times, we somehow get an
even keener appreciation of the
publication. Last week 10 million
letters were requested by this COL
umn for Mr. Bowles. Appreciation
will be only half shown, however,
without another 10 million to the
Magazine of the New Yorks Times.

JOKE OF THE WEEK
Two fishermen were driving a.
long highway when they came
to a crossroad with a CLOSED"
sign blocking the main road. They
noticed fresh tire tracks led around
the sign so they decided to follow
the tracks and disregard the sign.
They had gone some three miles
when the road ended at a broken
bridge. The only thing to do was
to turn around, and on passing
the road block they observed this
inscription on the reverse side of
the sign: "It really was closed,
wasn't it"

Last Saturday night, the Carver
Monarchs once again proved to be
the king of the court by wrapping
up the West Central District
Championship at Peoria, Arizona.
Although they have won the cham
pionship, there is quite a story
behind it. In the first tournament
game, the Monarchs breezed by the
Peoria Panthers 1888. Charles
Christopher led Carver with twen-
ty-three points while Bud Holley
paced Peoria with twelve. In the
Monarch,s second game, they
knocked over the Scottsdale Beav-
ers 6S-41. Albert Nealey paced Car
yer with twenty-five points while
John Poer and Lee Roy Sprad-
ling led Scottsdale with twelve
points each. After the Scottsdale
game Carver was ready for Litch-
field, which they dumped handily
69-43 High-point men were
Charles Christopher of Carver and
Pug Woods of Litchfield with nine
teen points each. For the cham
pionship. Carver had to play the
Ajo Red Raiders of Ajo, Arizona.
Although Carver had beaten AjO
in season play, 76-45, they were
anticipating a close game in the
finals. But the Monarchs came
through to defeat Ajo 67-45.
Christopher again was high-point
man for Carver with twenty-five
points while Juan Olea led Ajo
with fifteen points.
Charles Christopher and Albert
Nealey were named to the all
tournament team. Christopher,
named on every ballot, was made
captain. Lee Roy Spradling, Bur-
dette Morago, and Bud Holley of
Scottsdale, Ajo, and Peoria re-
spectively were also named on the
first team. Under the efficient
training of coach Jordan, the Car
yer Monarchs have made history
in the Glass B competition. All of
us are wishing him and his fine
ball club luck in the State tourna-
ment.
The 1953-54 Junior Varsity bas-
ketball team kept up the tradition
Tor the fifth consecutive year by
winning the West Central District
Championship, under the coaching
of Sylvester Edwards, Jr. The
coaches nominated Edward Jones,
who scored IS, 25, and % points

Governors To
Consider
6-P POint Plan
By JACK BELL

BLONTON LANDING, NY. B-
Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washing
ton proposed to other state COVER
nors today an faction program"
calling for the federal government
to give up various taxes in return
for less federal aid to states.
That was part of a six-point plan
Langlie offered a. the first business
session of the 46th Annual Cover
nOrs' conference.
While he outlined it, Vice Presi-
dent Nixon arrived at the Glens
Falls Airport from Washington and
headed by motor for the confer
ence, where he viii speak tonight
in President Eisenhower's place.
Eisenhower cancelled his own
plans to address the state execu-
tives because of the death of his
sister r-in-law, Mrs. Milton Eisen-
hover.
On the sidelineS, Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina recon-
mended that American representa-
tives go back to the Geneva con-
ference to bring on an Allied show
down on the Indochina crisis.
Suggested Program
The program he suggested, Lang
lie said, was designed to keep gov
ernment as close to the people as
possible while recognizing the need
for assuring their basic well being.
His six points:
1. No additional federal grants
in-aid to the states or expansion Of
existing ones.
2. Strengthening the financial
power of the states by reducing or
ending such federal taxes as those
on gasoline, payrolls, telephone
ard telegraph messages, retail
sales, electricity, admissions, trans
portation, liquor. tobacco, estate
and gifts. In exchange, reduced
federal grants for highways, I'M
employment relief, education,
school lunches.
3. The states to be left to deter
mine their own programs in such
fields. perhaps with some assist
nnce from the federal government
with money collected from income
taxes.

French defenders claimed they had
beat back an attack by 5000 rebels

The French admitted their own
losses were "appreciable" but
gave no figures.
Other rebel units surged in from

above the imperiled city.
Clashes we're reported yesterday

kept up their pressure.

rained nearly $50 tons of bombs

GENEVA L1 British Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden came
back to Geneva by plane today to
join French Premier Pierre Men
des-France in a last-minute effort
to make peace with the Commu-
niStS in Indochina.
The foreign secretary was the
luncheon guest of Mendes-F France.
First on Eden'S schedule after
the lunch was a meeting with So
Wet Foreign Minister VvacheSlav
M. Molotov. The two ministers,
who are co-chairmen Of the Indo-
china conference, win have to set
the time of the next meeting.
Molotov arrived last week. In
addition to seeing Mendes.F France,
he has had many meetings with
the other Communist delegations
here. Red Chinese Premier Chou
En-lai left Moscow early today and
is expected to arrive in Geneva
later today.
To Discuss Reports
The conference will first discuss
the reports of the military com.
missions. These groups were or.
dered three weeks ago to submit
by July 10 recommendations on
military aspects of an armistice.
1t appeared there was no clear
agreement on these questions, how

Suspension Is
Run1Ored For
Police Lieut..
By jim COBB

Police Chief Bienvenido Perez
refused to comment today on re-
ports that a suspension is in the
offing for a police lieutenant who
became involved in an alteration
with city commissioner July S.
But Perez told a Citizen re-
porter Sunday that he would issue
full report on the matter today
and indicated that he may take
action this afternoon.
Details of the incident have
been shrouded in a curtain of
secrecy, although it has been the
subject of street-corner gossip for
more than a week.
Conflicting reports have reached
The Citizen concerning the alter
cation between Commissioner Paul
R. Roberts and 1t. Gene Herman
dez.
No Denial Made
But, Chief Perez, Roberts and
Hernandez have not deni e d
the incident which is supposed to
have occurred late at night at
Chino's Drive-In, Flagler Avenue
and Bertha Street.
Reports of the alleged incident
have ranged from accounts OF
fisticuffs to name calling.
Roberts, contacted the day
after the alteration was reported,
said simply: ut was nothing"
Hernandez told The Citizen today
that che preferred not to COM
ment on the matter until he had
received formal notice of his sus.
pension"
Probe incomplete
Chief Perez said this morning
that his investigation is not COM
plets ira that he win slot Eivulge
any information until it is.
Any charges placed against Her.
nandez will be subject to review
by the Civil Service Board. They
are scheduled to meet Thursday
night.
Hernandez joined the police
force March Is, 1912 when he was
appointed a patrolman. He re-
ceived temporary appointment
as sergeant early in 1851 and was
named a lieutenant Jan. 1, 1852.

Only two accidents occurred
over the weekend in Key West.
One of them was the ninth
this year at the corner of
Roosevelt Blvd. and 18th Street.
Both of them could have
been averted bad the drivers
kept their minds on what they
were doing.
These summer weekendS are
bound to be busy ones with
fishing trips and family out
ingS planned. But, when you
make your plans for the week
end, it would be a fine thing
if you'd include a mental reSo-
