ly after the award to Willie MAYS
RIFE said:
I'm the fabulously popular Amer
lean sport of baseball, which has
no equivalent in Europe and which
is even more popular than soccer
on our continent, a Negro has
received one of the most coveted
athletic awards in America.
"He is Willie Mays, 23-year-old
captain of the N Y. Giants team.
How is it possible that an Amer
lean Negro won this award in
competition with hundreds of
white men?
THE answer is simple. Willie
Mays was selected by objective
experts, who elected him their
favorite athlete because of his
achievements in sports, his human
personality and gentleman-like be-
havlor - not according to the
color Of his skin" +.
That nailed down the truth for
RFE's listeners in Communist-run
Hungary and exposed another Red
lie. RIFE in recent broadcasts has
also treated the accomplishment
of other Negro athletes in Amer
lea.
One broadcast beamed across
the Iron Curtain discussed the
Sullivan Trophy award to Nal
Whitfield.
"1n America, the best sportsman
is elected at the end of each year.
A committee of newspaper editors,
sports leaders and former cham
pions vote and decide on who is
to receive the honor.
"The latest award was present
ed to Nal Whitfield, the 8OO-meter
Splinter and twice Olympic champ
ion of the Los Angeles Athletic
Club.
Previous awards have gone to
such athletes as Glenn Cunning
ham, Cornelius Warmerdam, Bob
Matthias, Bob Richards and Horace
Ashenfelter.
"The award to Nal Whitfield, a
Negro, speaks for itself"
Another recent sports program
to Czechoslovakia noted that boxer
Rocky Marciano had at last "brok-
en- the Negro hegemony which last
ed for many years in the heavy
weight class" The broadcast
cited the careers of Joe Louis, Joe
Walcott and Ezzard Charles.
Americas highly talented Olym-
pic champion track star Jesse
Owens, has also been frequent
subject of comment in RIFE broad
casts.
An article in a recent issue of
the Hungarian newspaper "Nep-
sport" charged that Jim Thorpe
was deprived of his Olympic gold
medal because of his "colored
origin"
RIFE answered that the medal
was withdrawn from Thorpe be-
cause he had turned professional
before winning it, thereby dis
qualifying himself.
Understanding of the distinction
in U. S. sports competition be-
tween amateur and professional
athletes is virtually lost to the
Red commissars. In the Soviet
orbit, all athletes are professional
are supported by the state
and maintained as class of thor
oughbreds whose only responsible
ty is to pile victory upon victory
for the glory of Communism.
Recent athlete defectors from
Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hun
gary have testified in full to the
accuracy Of the Communists total |
disregard of sport ethics and stand
ards.
AS the note in the Transcript
Telegram observed: "Our alleged
against the colored
races is one Of the best bets for
Moscow propagandists."
RIFE, broadcasting nearly 5000
hours weekly over 20 transmitters,
is doing its utmost to keep the
truth moving out to those who
have no other access to it -
but the lies of their own
and radio. i

Are n eeded

The strike-lockout of the sand
gravel and concrete industry threw
a wrench in wide range of activ-
tiles but its effect may reach into
many northeastern homes that feel
they have no particular concern in
the dispute. Many of these homes
have youngsters due back to school
in September and attendance
schedules will be determined on
how quickly the strike-lockout is
settled and how fast lost ground
can be recovered.
This is particularly the case with
youngsters up to the fifth grade
who attend Madison No. 4 at Rose
Lane and II Street.
In addition to a new library
building, summer building opera
tions to meet the September jam
include two banks of classrooms
which would have added 10 class
rooms and permitted the splitting
up of Over-croWded rOomS.-
Foundations are in for the class
rooms and the library structure is
getting the roof and sides. It is
pretty difficult, however, to go
very far in modern construction
with the concrete work deferred
and filled-in after the others crafts
have done their jobs. At various
stages Of operation, the failure of
sand, gravel and concrete deliv-
cries for even "a hours can grind
the whole operation to halt.
The Madison school district, the
most rapidly developing district in
the area as building booms in the
northeast section, faces constant
ly expanding attendance problem
that seems to keep ahead of even
the most ambiuitouS building pro-
gram.
At some future stage, the Rose
Lawn School will expand from it's
five-grade limits. Plenty of ground
was acquired when the site was
purchased. The immediate problem,
however, seems to be even to keep
up with the enrolment in the first
five grades and throwing the pro-
gram into reverse five weeks be-
fore re-opening really complicated
the situation. Had everything gone
smoothly it had been planned to
have the 10 additional rooms ready
in September.

With plentiful supplies of cheese
and other dairy products brimming
in your dealers cases throughout
the summer, now is an ideal time
to feature this popular food in
lyour daily menu planning. It's
wise to have a ready supply on
hand to use at a moments notice
in quick sandwiches, snacks or
caSseroleS.
When selecting cheese for easy
fixings you'll probably want to
choose a convenient ready sliced
cheese with interleaved slices. This
type of cheese allows you to pull
the paper tape for golden slices
that separate quickly and easily
without tearing. Available in
American, Pimento, Swiss and
American, and Old York, there's
.olenty of variety right at your
fingertips.
An unusual open-faced sand
wich recipe that will delight the
whole family is a waffle, cheese
and tomato combination made with
frozen or leftover waffles. It's a
;welcime hot dish for children's
lunches and is also ideal for late
at-night snacks. To make it

a slice of tomato on each waffle

On Budget Boost

Maricopa county's tax rate for
1856 will be $1.47 per $10C
property valuation, unless some
one can persuade the board of SUI
.perviSors to perform drastic bud
get slashing between now and
August 4.
That's the date set for final hear
ing and approval of a budget which
calls for an increase of So, ,451 $685.
O8 more than last years $11, 1885,
669.78! The tax rate itself has been
tentatively approved at a IS per
cent increase over last years "a

A state law requiring boost
from $40 to $30.5O per student in
average daily attendance is re-
sponsible for portion of the in
crease. So is an increase in teach
er retirement funds required be-
cause of the 400 new teachers in
County schools.
But elsewhere in the budget are
increases that apparently require

validity, the Tax Spotlight, pub
lication of the Maricopa County
Taxpayers Association, says in its
current issue.
Last year, the supervisors actu-
ally spent $6,459,464 in their gen.
eral budget. This years proposal
calls for an increase of $1,O0O,OOO,
up to $7,473,414.88!
These increases are budgeted
despite the fact that last year the
general fund enjoyed a surplus of
&330,OO0! Only 13 of the county's
80 departments overspent their
anticipated expenditures, and these
by only Slight amounts.
Last year the budget called for
a total of $8,529,O67. This years
called for $9,381 ,974. The increase
amounts to $852, ,9O6 - an exact
10 per cent rise. State law places
10 per cent limitation on an in
crease over previous years
budget.

The association provided the only
protest . which points up once
again the apathy of the average
taxpayer. On August 4, the Board
of Supervisors will meet to give
final approval to the budget, and
it is imperative that taxpayers be
present to seek reductions Wher-
lever possible.
Only six departments in the
county are presently budgeted for
less money than they spent last
year. Others seek increases rang
ing up to $128,0O0. Parks and
Fairgrounds ask an increase of
$83, 900; planning and zoning, $751;
900; assessor $4,000; superior
courts, SCI, 900; sheriff, $128,OO0;
juvenile probation, $107, 900; gen.
eral hospital, $4,000, and so on
down the list.
"The supervisors have control
over only 100000 of the budget

school aid increase, teacher re-
itrement, increased funds to meet
federal highway monies. But with
the required increases there should
