House Rebels
At Small Hike

Congress and the White House
were locked in a major battle over
the amount of pay increase for
Government employees.
A rebellious House of Represen-
tatives refused to go along with
the Administrators 7.6 percent
average pay boost for postal work
ers despite threats from the White
House The President would veto
any measure carrying a larger
amount.
Faced with a take-it- or-leave-it
procedure under which the measure
came to the floor, barring amend
ments and limiting debate, the
House refused to go along by a
vote of 302 TO 100.
The actual vote was on suspend
ing the House rules to clear the
way for passage, but the result in
dicated strong opposition to the
limited increase. AFL postal and
Government workers unions are
pressing for 10 percent hike.
Bills carrying a 10 percent hike
for both postal and classified work
ers are scheduled for action soon
in the Senate.

SP0 R is
CLOS UP
BY FRITZ POLLARD

NEW YORK, (GIobaD = We
have often spoken of cycles in
sports - how certain fields for
given periods seem to be dominated
by one racial group or nationality
and then these stars are replaced
by other groups. In the field of
boxing, Negroes seem at present
pretty much out of the picture
the Heavyweight and Lightweight
titles held by Italians, the Middle
weight crown being worn by a
young Hawaiian, and a young Mexi-
can holding the new Flyweight
championship.
We can't help boasting just a
bit, that during the regime" of the
Negro champions, boxing was at
its cleanest. Whenever a champ
finally goes down before an OPP
ponent, there is always some specu-
lation as to whether he should have
retired before he got to that point,
and some people even have ex-
pressed the opinion that the champ
either was drugged or "took a
dive" Such a suggestion was
whispered when Jack Johnson fl
nally met his Waterloo. But even
so, our modern fighters have left
a clean record behind = Joe Louis,
Ray Robinson, Ezzard Charles,
Henry Armstrong, Johnny Saxton,
Jimmy Carter, Beau Jack = all of
them.
That is why we are not too happy
that the ring seems plagued just
now with questionable decisions,
controversies that have resulted in
the suspension of fighters and the
replacement of commissioners. We
sincerely hope that the fight game
will clean house and that this new
crop of champs will soon reign
over a nice clean empire.

be limited to the fastest "a teams
according to time trials. The quail
itying will be held between six and

One of the favored teams will
be Ralph Earnhardt of Kannap-

Dink Widenhouse of Concord. Ned
Jarrett of Newton will be teamed
with Ray Stephens of Hickory.

Jonas Erwin
Give Choices
For President

Congressman c. R. Jonas and
Senator Sam Erwin, attending the
annual Soldiers Reunion event in
Newton last week, made a few
comments about the presidential
candidates for their respective
parties when queried by a Hick-
CRY Daily Record reporter, Helen
Ross.
The following is from the
Rambling column by Miss Ross in
the Hickory paper:
Tenth District Congressman
Charles Raper Jonas said "Presi-
cent Eisenhower hasn't taken me
Into his confidence. when asked
if he thought the President would
be candidate for denomination
come next Summer. But he went
on to say that he believed Eisen-
hover would yield to the pleas and
pressure of his fellow Republicans
and would be candidate for re-
nomination. And. he felt, What
ever Ike Wants, Ike Gets" to
raraphrase the currently popular
nit tune from the Broadway play
Damn Yankee
Jonas said, too. he believed that
the President honestly wanted to
so live on his farm in Gettysburg,
hut that he would be a candidate.
nevertheless. The Lincolnton Con-
gressman. the lone North Carolina
Republican representative in the
United States House of Represen-
tativeS. was one of the few original
Eisenhower supporters in the
North Carolina delegation to the
last Republican convention. 1t is
a f0"agone conclusion he would
again happily support the man
who is now President of the
United States.
LIKES ADLAI
Senator Sam Erwin. affable, ap-
proachable and as entertaining as
usual, thinks Adlai Stevenson is
definitely a candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton He thinks. too, as of now,
lllub [lNCl III l1ol SONClll
of New York, and G.. Mennen
Williams, governor of Michigan,
are making noises very much like
candidates for the same nomina-
ton. What candidate the Nor
canton Senator might prefer he
cid not say, except to indicate
that of the three, he believed
Stevenson would be best. Gov.
Lausche of Ohio would make a
good candidate if he would run,
Erwin felt.
The Senator is enjoying his
work in Washington, he said, and
particularly finds his committee
work interesting. He had many
amusing sidelights of the last
Congress, in committee, caucuSes
and on the floor of the Senate to
recount.

Coach King Is
Pleased With
WoIfpock Spirit

/ WhiteSideS, plagued by knee
injury for three seasons, decided
to give up the sport. He'll serve
as one of the managers of the
squad. A new player added to the
roster is Benny Newton, Junior
tackle, up from the Junior Var
sity squad.
King is consoled by the fact he
will have more reserve manpoWer
this season. More reserves than
we've had in 4 years." he said,
recalling that in past seasons he
had to rely on his first team as
fhe bench reserves lacked the
experience needed.
The Wolfpack backfield will be
ok, he said. and therell be few
worries - barring injuries - in
that department. Bill Hicks,
transfer from Shelby, is tagged by
King as the squads fastest player
and is a fine quick kicker. He'll
probably split one of the back
field positions with Ralph Coch-
rane, Jr. Big Dave Mccullough,
With experience, weight and
power to his credit, will be the
key man in the backfield.

squad tomorrow.
AS the two weeks of practice
work nearS an end, head coach
King expressed satisfaction over
the progress of the squad made to
date. I'm we'll pleased with the
spirit of the players so far" he
said, 1--WE have a bunch of boys
that are working hard and have
the desire to play football"
King said he wasn't predict
ing a strong team at LincOlntOn
this year, but was confident the
WOlfpack would make a good
showing against all the teams
they meet. We may not be the
best, nor will we be a pushOver
for anybody" he added, the
boys will give everything they
have and we'll win our share of
the games"
SQUAD CONDITION GOOD
King was we'll pleased with the
squads condition after almost 2
weeks of drills, as there were no
injuries among any of the players.
He said everything had been ac-
cording to plans with no hitch in
the practice schedule, and that
was something unusual but an
item to be thankful for.
Two boys. however, have been
lost from the original 35-player
squad. Gordon Auton has moved
to Oklahoma, and Marshall
