A right to the jaw sent Davis
reeling backwards, off the ropes

more of the same. zivic dealt
Davis a terrible beating, but
BUNNY stayed up and even

zivic's tactics were clear. He
was a master at in-fighting and
the idea was to wear Davis
down, then open up with a
knockout attack. BY the ninth
round, Davis had slowed down
enough for Zivic to set out to
put him away. Once again it
was a two-f1Sted barrage that

But all the fight was gone

W IflS DIS IL L were COlOESQ.
Almost as many people
possibly more have talked
to me as though l were
white. The reason that such
a contradiction is possible
is that color, contrary to
what most of us think, has
less to do with our eyes than
with our minds. We do not
see color. We think it.
Perhaps this sounds like
nonsense to you. If so, let
me tell you a few expert
ences I've had. Then decide
for yourself whether your
eyes really do your seeing
for you-or whether your
mind tells your eyes what
to see.
/ remember one summer
when my wife and I rented
a cottage which hung over
the turquoise Caribbean.
Off we went with our child
rem and our typewriters,
bathing suits and suntan
oil, to this idillic spot with
a private beach on the shore
of a lovely cove.
A few weeks later the cot
tage on the other side of the
cove was rented by a charm
ing West Indian family.
They were natives whose
year-round home was in
land, and all of them-mot-
her, father and two child
ren-had skins of a lovely
reddish brown.
Our children and theirss
quickly became friends, and
soon we adults did, too. Nat
urally, after they learned
about my position as exec
utive secretary of the Ma

Referring to our neighbors,

This phenomenon of think

universal. There was one
striking example not long

In writing a constitution
for the new state of India.
The chairman, who piled
us with questions about
the race problem in t h e
United States, was almost
ebony in color, His features
were not Indian-they were
African. And as he lisstened
to our replies concerning
lynchings and race riots, his
sensitive face reflected the
sympathy and pain he felt.
But when the discussion
ended, the chairman said to
us benevolently, ''We of In

extended his hand. Then,
with the curiously dispas-

scientist, he said:
"There is only one way I

In the silence that follow

himself. On one side was the
human being with emotional
and irrational beliefs; on
the other side was the seien-
fist, rebelling against such
groundless prejudice.
The scientist won out,

confusion to the second men,

he said, "but you will under

Mr.. Studin simply shook

what happened in Istanbul
a few years ago when Mrs.

of a group that was making
a round-the-world tour un-
der the tuspicies of the
Town Meeting of the Air.
We had spent the morning

lunch, we found George Den

waiting impatiently for us
at the door. He rushed us
inside, explaining t h a t a
number of newspapermen

We were a little puzzled,
for our group included rep

There are too many drastic
differences in the organization
and techniques of police officers
assigned to juvenile cases
throughout the country, accord
ing to a report released today
by the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare,
The study of GIL cities. pre-
pared by the Special Juvenile
Delinquency Project, the Chill
dren's Bureau and the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs Of
Police, at a conference last Au-
gust in East Lansing, Mich, con-
cludes that individuality in the
development Of police programs
has gone too far to be practical.
The study, entitled Police
Services for Juveniles" is the
first of a series of documents re-
lating to juveniles which have
been prepared over the last two
years. It will be used to help the
National Conference on CURLING

of Health, Education and We'll

The report represents an
initial step in marking guide
lines for the development of po-
lice juvenile squads in a more
uniform manner throughout the
country.
For example, the report notes
that only so per cent of the GIL
cities studies have juvenile spe-
cialists in their departments.

juveniles.
Comparing that recommended
ton to WaShington's Metropoli-
tan Police Department it will be
noted that of about 1000 officers
here, 80 are assigned to the Jul
venile Squad. To reach the per
cent figure 100 would have to be
