Saw Blood Tests Saved
Willie Mays From
Paternity Suit

New York, N. Y, May Blood
tests by two Observation-Disclosures
doctors saved Willie Mays, spec
tacular Giants outfielder, from a
paternity suit in the public courts
this spring, Confidential magazine
revealed today.
In an article willie Mays Luck
lest Strikeout," the new issue of
Confidential on sale May Bird states
that the blood tests proved that
paternity charges brought against
Willie by Southern woman were
without foundation.
The girl had insisted that Mays
was the father Of her baby boy,
born Oct. 6, 1854, but Willie de-
MED the charge and, with the help
of an attorney obtained by the
Giants management, insisted on
blood tests.
"By mutual agreement" the art
icle states, 1.-TWO of the nations
outstanding experts were selected
to make the tests. One was DR..
Philip Levine, head of the Ortho
Research Foundation in Raritan,
n. j., scientist prominently men
toned for the Nobel prize.
"The other was equally-famed
DR.. Alexander S. Wiener of Brook
Ign. Doctors Levine and Weiner
are the co-discoverers of the "Rh"
test which science has accepted as
the final word on determination of
paternity. Attorneys for both
Mays and the girl agreed that
the word of these scientists would
be final"
Willie took his tests Feb. goth,
Confidential adds and the mother
brought the baby to the doctors
for tests March 3rd of this year.
Three tests were made and on
March 10th the doctors notified
Mays that he was not the father.
"a great flood of relief swept
over the Alabama youngster," the
magazine says. "He had been sure
of his innocence and now medical
science had indicated him."
The full details of the case that
hung over the Giants outfielder
during his greatest season is told
in the article by Tom Erickson on
Page 26.

her first opportunity to address a
Howard University audience since
the decision was handed down.
Of the decision she said, "(The)

Society of Christian Service, by a
heavy majority vote, in a meeting
here, called for a more liberal racial
policy in the state, "and special
guidance toward Indignation of all
groups in the Life and Work of the
Church."
1t was considered highly signifi-
cant by informed observers here,
as well as in other sections of the
state that only a relatively mild
reaction was noted throughout the
state to the stand taken by the
Women's Society of Christian Ser
vice.
A summary of the report to the
State College Board said. Missis-
sippi has spent some six years pre-
pairing to equalize white and Negro
common schools only to find that a
more pressing problem may exist
On the college level.
a. There are great inequalities be-
TWEEN white and Negro grammar
and high schools but even greater
inequalities exist in the area of
higher education"
The state has been told, in a
polite way, that it is high time
something was done. Otherwise, it
is implied, look for trouble in the
states determination to maintain
segregation on every level.
The report recognizes an aware
oess Of these inequalities" On the
part Of the board and the Legis-
lature notes that steps nave been
taken to "lessen the gaps" But
it points out chat "the goal Of
equality is still very distant"
The three senior colleges for
Negroes, Alcorn A & NJ, Jackson
College and Mississippi Vocational
College at Itta Bena, are doing
good job but their facilities are not
adequate for the need.
In the first place, Mississippi is
far down the ladder in the amount
of money spent for higher educa-
ton for Negroes, even taking its
ability to pay" into consideration.
"The state provides ample OPP
portunities for white students to
pursue graduate and professional
study; but the Negro student has
been compelled to go outside the
state for this service"
This problem, the report said,
must be faced Realistically" in
the light of IAN acute shortage of
trained Negro professional person
nel," inadequacies of existing col
leges, and anti-segregation deci-
sions of the Supreme Court.
"The state may approach this
problem by:
81. Increasing considerably the
amount of money appropriated for
scholarships for out-of state study.
"2. Establish limited graduate
and professional programs at exist
ing schools"
Nevertheless, the report said, the
board should appoint a committee
to consider the problem in the
light of conditions prevailing with
in the state and the recent deci-
sions of the U. S. Supreme Court"
In overall recommendations, the
report said the three institutions

The Goose And
Marques: Will They
GET Together!

Chicago, ILL.,, May = The fabu-
lous Harlem Globetrotters have
fired their most illustrious Clown
Prince of Basketball" Reecc
(Goose) Tatum, according to own
er-coach Abe Saperstein, but the
Goose Tatum story is not a closed
book.
Sports fans are wondering wheth-
er or not Tatum will form a team
Of his own to rival the Trotters or
whether or not he will join with
his former teammate, the irres-
pressible dribbling ace, Marques
Haynes.
The story is circulating that Ia
tum and Haynes have been con-
ferring with one another out in
Las Vegas, New. where Haynes is
now making his home.
Two years ago Haynes and Ia
tum formed a great entertaining
duo that made the Trotters the
greatest drawing card on the hard
wood. Not only was Haynes an
artistic dribbler but he was a good
player - he could shoot and he
could pass. Tatum also could
shoot and he could mug.
In early 1854, Haynes quit the
TrOtterS and formed a team of his
own. At that time several lesser
Trotters left the team and joined
Haynes. 1t was reported that Ia
tum was to go, too, but he stuck
with Saperstein.
On March 16 Tatum disappeared
from the Trotters just before the
annual "World Series of Basket
ball" against the 1866 College ALL
Americans was to begin. Saper-
stein suspended him. A fortnight
ago after Goose never reported
to Abe or called him, and Goose
was fired
The Trotters, themselves, were
not the same without Tatum. They
whipped the collegians as expect
ed but played too much straight
basketball for fans who cried 1--WE
want Goose"
If Tatum and Haynes get to-
gether once more, they may team
a squad of players that could rival
the Trotters seriously in entertain
ment value as we'll as playing
ability. Anxious cage fans are now
awaiting developments in connec-
ton with the two great ex-Trotter
stars.

should be developed further to
meet an anticipated increase in col
lege enrollments and the demand
for higher education for Negro
leaders.
At the same time, the board
should consider the advisability
of Incorporating the three col
leges into the educational systems"
of the university and state college.
The report said also that :acili
ties at the three Negro colleges
should be strengthened immedi
ately."

The District Commissioners
today approved the hiring Of
special consultants to advise on
construction Of the Districts
sewage treatment plant.
They did so by authorizing a
$50. 1000 extension of a contract
with a board of engineers now
making q study Of the city's
sewer system generally.
Roy L. Orndorff, superintend-
ent of the office of planning.
design and engineering in the
Department of Sanitary Engi-
neering. said the treatment plant
had been excluded from an
earlier contract with the board
of engineers for lack Of funds
and because I'VE were at that
time inclined to believe that suf-
ficient planning data on the
sewage treatment plant was
available"
He declared. however, that sin
the light Of problems which have
arisen since the agreement was
negotiated !. it is now apparent
that there are many questions
which need to be answered" in
the design Of a proposed aeration
plant.
Also, he said, special analysis
will be required Of complex prob
lens Of tying-in the plant with
later construction Of q second
ary sewage treatment plant.
