NEW YORK, June 18 (P).-
chancellor Konrad Adenauer OF
West Germany took off for Eu-
rope today, greatly encouraged,
he said, by further bolstering of
Western unity.
Mr.. Adenauer flew to London
where, fresh from his visits with
President Eisenhower and Sec
Iretary of State Dulles. he will
confer with Prime Minister Eden
next week.
At Idlewild Airport, the Chan
|cellor handed newsmen pre-
pared statement that said talks
with the United States officials
and British and French foreign
ministers now in this country
confirmed, "again and again, the
unity of the West"
He said the unity sis the most
important basis for a solution
to our common problems, and ]
believe this unity has been fur
lther strengthened in an atinos-
|phere of mutual confidence.
Disputes Mccarthy
Earlier in the day Mr.. Aden-
auer made a filmed interview
for a TV program, CBS' Pace
the Nation"
The program, ordinarily seen
on Sunday. was telecast tonight
In the TV interview, Mr.,
Adenauer disputed an assertion
by Senator Mccarthy, Repub-
ilican, of Wisconsin. that the
projected Big -Four summit
meeting might lead to loss of
Germany as western ally.
Germany always will remain
allied with the West, Mr.. Ad-
'enauer told a panel of newsmen,
He also expressed belief the
cold war will end gradually"
John Madigan of Newsweek
Magazine noted that Mr.. Ad-
enauer had said Russia's new
friendly look" toward the West
was in Russia's "own interest"
and probably" for compelling
reasons.
Germans Won't Waver
Then Mr.. Madigan quoted Sem
ator Mccarthy as having said in
the Senate:
Lets face it. The principal
reason West Germany is now
in the western camp is its thor
oughly warranted fear of a So
Wet attack. Remove the fear by
creating illusions about Soviet
intentions, and you may lose an
ally"
Mr.. Adenauer commented:
II think I might say here-I
may take this quotation and /
may say in reply that Germany
will remain in the camp of the
west"
Mr.. Adenauer spoke on the
CHS program through his inter-
prefer. Heinz Weber.
Questioning him with Mr..
Madigan were Washington cor
respondents Ellie Abel of the
New York Times and Martin
Hayden of the Detroit Times.
Ted Koop Of CHS was moderator.
Sees Cold War Easing
Mr.. Adenauer said it was 'too
early to say we have. won the
cold war, but there seems to be
a certain break, a certain inter-
ruption," the task of western
diplomacy, he said, is to de-
termine what is at the bottom of
it.
The Chancellor was asked

For Leonard Kanthal. yester-
day was one of those days. He
walked into Uline Arena at $3.50
o'clock last night to learn his
big fight with Roy Louson for
the Golden Gloves senior heavy
weight title had been called off
because of an injury to Louson'S
hand.
I'VE just found out about it
ourselves" one of those respon-
sible for handling the tourna-
merit told him.
Il feel terrible" Kanthal sid.
''Nothing's gone right today.
Only one good thing happened
to me all day. I've been looking
to buy a dog. German Shep-
herd. l saw an ad for one in
The Star and got him. beauty.
He's silver German Shepherd"
There was still a little time
left before Kanthal walked to
the ring for his exhibition match
with Charles Ware, who lost to
LouSon in the semif1nal. Already
sweat was pouring off the big
Marine like water off a man
taking a shower.
Il never felt this bad before
a fight. I don't know what's
wrong. Nothing went right
today. My wife didn't get the
job she was looking for, my big
fight is called off don't know.
l wouldn't be surprised if the
roof fell in out there tonight"
For kanthal, the roof did fall
in when Ware connected with
powerful left hook that broke
the Marines jaw and sent him
down for the first time in his
life. But the eX-Coolidge High
School football player got up off
the floor with a tremendous
show of courage, decked Ware
in the second round and was
awarded the James A. Sullivan
Memorial Trophy as the out
standing service boxer of the
tournament.
Later Kanthal. splitting blood
and talking stiff ff-mouthed, COM
mented Wryly: Il told you no
matter what happened I wouldn't
be surprised. First time in my
life I was ever down. know my
jaw is broken. They say he threw
hook. A hook? I didn't even
see it,"
One fighter took a terrific shell
lacking. but still managed to find
a bright side to look at. He was
overheard telling his manager:
Anyway, took his best punches,
didn't II"
Yeah" came the answer, but
you're not supposed to take all
of them"
A special salute to AL Gibbs,
the Weather-beaten Navy chief
who trained the Destroyer Force,
winner of the senior team title
and Evening Star Trophy. AS
Pete Haley. director of athletics
Of the CYO and an avid sports
fan for years, put it: Gibbs
must be one of the best trainers
around anywhere. Every boy
he's got is in good shape, always
ready. His team was tops phys
ically, even when compared to
the other service teams

Dallas, Texas, has seen 27 years

champion in 1880 and 1881.
Gibbs had hoped up until the
last minute to be able to send his
boy. Louson, against Kanthal.
But then the doctor tells Louson

you're going into that ring III

Gibbs said.

WI Tourney Wins
Making 81. Johns
Catholic Title Threat
BY Bob Honson

Anyone who might have
counted st. Johns High out of
contention for the Catholic
League championship because
the Cadets have had mediocre
season had better make a new
appraisal.
In two appearances in the
Washington Lee Invitational
basketball tournament, st.
Johns has run up a whopping
10 points. Tuesday night it was
a record 95-49 in beating Fair
fax. Last night. before 2.700
fans, it was 1853 against George
Washington High in the semi
finals.
Westinghouse beat off a
never-give-up Gonzaga team to
win the other semifinal game, g.
81, and will meet st. Johns at
9 o'clock tonight in the final at
WI. Gonzaga plays CIV in the
consolation at 1880.
One League Game Left.
st. Johns, with its 1876 season
record and Al league mark. has
blown hot and cold. 1t has one
more league game, against
Mackin Tuesday, before meeting
Carroll in one of the playotf
games March 13.
Carroll won a 51-49 victory
over the Cadets in their only
meeting in the Catholic League.
but will need an all-out effort
to beat the rejuvenated Cadets
in the playoff.
We've been using a 1-3-1 zone
effectively the last few weeks
and it has helped us tremen-
dously in getting our fast break
to working" Coach Joe Gall
lagher of St. Johns said. "We
used it against WaShington-Lee
the whole game last time we
met and in the two tourney
games"
st. Johns Won Last Game.
The second meeting of st.
Johns and WI three weeks
ago resulted in a 45-25 victory
for st. Johns and avenged an
earlier season defeat by the Gen.
erals. Thus tonight's battle, in
addition to being a title game.
will break the tie between the
two teams.
st. Johns got off to a 44-31
halftime lead, paced by Big John
Frazier. and it was never in
doubt after that.
Frazier led the scoring parade
for his team with 81 points.
John Moore had IL and Little
Jim Mandes 10. Mike Agee
again set the pace for CIV with
II points. Doug Yates, seeing
limited action after being out
for week with an infected toe,
showed the results of inactivity
with only 10 points, far below
his 1873 average.
WI Leads at Half.
In the opener, Washington
Lee, pacing its attack well and
making full use of its two big
players, Jim Woodbridge and
Phil Palmer and the all-around
play of Sonny Dugan, took a
1920 halftime lead and held on
despite a fast rush by Gonzaga.
The Eagles were pushing
toward the end, mostly on the
set shooting of Tom McCloskey,
and were behind only 55-51 with
one minute remaining in the
game.
Woodbridge finished with "a
points, Dugan II and Palmer Is.
McCloskey had 16, Tony Natoli
IA and Ronnie Bennett II for
the Eagles.

weight thriller between rugged
Nick LaRosa of Camp Lejeune
and red-haired Mark Kavanaugh
of the Quantico Marines. La
Rosa tracked Kavanaugh for
most of the fight, connecting
frequently with thun derin g
righthand shots to the head. But
Kavanaugh took everything the
Lejeune battler could throw and
did enough damage himself to
catch the eye of Judge AL Cohan.
Judge Boots Stafford and Ref
cree Charley Reynolds cast their
ballots for LaRosa, however. and
the decision was popular with
the crowd.
LaROsa Receives Trophy.
LaRoSa received the Veterans
of Foreign Wars trophy for the
winning senior lightweight
fighter, named in honor of the
late Mario DeSantiS, former Dis
trict Golden Gloves champion
who was killed in action with
the Marines.
The Destroyer Force finished
with "a points, while Camp Le-
jeune and Quantico trailed with
l6 and 10. respectively, in the
team race.
Highlight of the novice class
action was the sensational effort
put forth by. Golanda, who left
no doubt as to the recipient of
the outstanding novice award
with his knockout of the danger
Gus William Better. a southpaW
stylist from the Merrick Club.
Golanda's victory was one of
four which gave Coach Ed Sa-
mars Quantico warriors the nov
ice team championship with a
20-point total. Merrick was
runnerup with 13.
Sanar was presented the Dis
trict AAU trophy which goes
with the novice team title by
Jocko Miller. District AAU box
ing chairman.
Walton Garris' decision over
Tommy Wilson of Andrews Air
Force Base in the 118-pound
class started Quantico on it's
way.
Garwin Sturdivant put on a
classy display of boxing to ward
off hard-hitting Andy Blanche
of the CYO, beating a steady
tattoo on Branches face with a
lethal left hand and throwing
in a few rights for good measure
to take the 135-pound title.
Then Golanda put on his ter
rifle welterweight effort against
Better. After a fairly close first
round Golanda found the range
early in the second. bombing the
Merrick battler to the canvas
with a two-fisted barrage. Bet
ter made a game effort to come
back, but the Quantico boy
swarmed all over him and decked
him two more times before Ref
cree Eddie La Fond stopped it
at 1:55 of the round.
MiddleWeight Eugene Dew gave
Quantico its final novice tri-
umph, surviving a trip to the
canvas in the second round to
finish strong and take a split
decision over rugged James
Bush, unattached.
Eugene Hughes of the South
east House brought the crowd
to its feet with his knockout of
the Southeast Police Clubs
James johnson at 1:55 of the
third round of their feather
weight bout. The boys waged
close contest until Hughes
connected with a right upper
cut that put away his opponent
for keeps.

the 1854 Washington, Eastern
and National Golden Gloves
champion to the canvas with
that potent left.
1t took a few seconds before
the electrified crowd could grasp
the significance of the occasion
and then a mighty roar filled
the big arena as Kanthal took
the count on one knee and
bounced back to weather the
round.
Len answered the second
round bell with murder in his
eyes and tore right after the
Northeast AC fighter, shaking
him with a vicious right hand
shot to the head. He landed
another scorching right and
then threw a wicked left hook
to Wares head that sent that
worthy to the floor. Ware got
up at nine only to be backed
into the corner by Kanthal's re-
lentleSS attack. But Charles
fought back and the two were
toe-to-toe at the bell.
Len struck the first telling
blow of the third round, a jar
ring right to the head, and pun
ished his opponent OF. the ropes
with a barrage of heavy blows.
Again he shook Ware with a right
to the head and battered him
Savagely on the ropes, but Ware,
connecting with some good left
hand shots. stood up gamely and
was still on his feet at the finish.
Second Victory Over Ware.
1t was Kanthals second vic
tory over Ware, whom he stopped
in the third round of last years
finals.
Sawyer's performance in beat
ing the slightly outclassed but
certainly not outgamed Themis-
tocleS Kountis of the Marines for
the middleWeight crown was per-
haps the most impressive of the
Destroyer Forces showings in the
senior action and his selection as
the outstanding senior met with
the hearty approval of the fans.
KountiS fought a determined
fight, but the greater experience
OF the former Western Golden
Gloves champion told the tale.
Other champions crowned
from the Destroyer Force were
Larry Barrett, who outclassed
Stewart Grimes of Andrews Air
Force Base for the 147-pound
title, and Ronald Andrews, who
deciSioned Clifton Eskridge of
Little Creek for the 112-pound
championship.

been directed to afford maximum
protection for naval personnel.
This is consistent with the policy
of furnishing the best protective
equipment available for all COM
petitors in all sports.
This policy is similar to that
established by the Marine Corps
a year ago and has been the
result of much study and con-
Sideration.
"It is difficult to reconcile the
expense and effort involved in
training personnel for their pri-
mary job in the Navy with the
risk of permanent injury by not
furnishing them with the best
and most modern protective
equipment available"
The Navy policy, however
makes two exceptions in the use
of headgear. That policy allows
Navy personnel to compete in
trials for the Pan American
Games and the games themselves
and in the Olympic Trials and
Olympic Games without head
gear.
Commenting on this seeming
inconsistency. Comdr. Steen said
"Since we are unable to change
the rules of the United States
Olympic Committee and since
the Olympic Games are ma
tional effort. approved and en-
couraged by the President and
Congress, personnel will be de-
tailed to train for the Olympic
Games sufficiently in advance OF
the games to allow them to box
effectively without headgear."
Dan Ferris, secretary of the
National AAU, which sanctions
| the Eastern Golden Gloves, said
| today in New York. THE AAU
has no rule against the use Of
headgear, but at the same time
we have no regulation sanction
ing it.
Committee Set Up.
"At our fall meeting in Florida
last year, the question of head
gear for all HAU sanctioned box
ing bouts came up, but the pro-
posal for compulsory protective
equipment was not passed and q
committee was set up to study
the matter"
Meanwhile, the controversy
continued to rage in Chicago
where the Western Golden
Gloves Tournament of Cham
pions is now in progress.
Arch Ward, director of the
Chicago tournament, said today;
/ I'VE are giving the squad
manager of a boy boxing a Navy
man the choice of wearing head
gear. With or without this
equipment, competition will con-
tinue."
/ Ward added, however, that
''Navy men making the Golden
Gloves international team which
boxes in Europe this year would
! have to abide by the same regu-
lations-that is do without the
headgear.
None of the Navy men who
win Western titles would be
eligible to compete in the East
West tournament later this
month";" he added.
! The Washington team will
leave Union Station for New
York and the Eastern Tourna
ment of Champions at 1870 pm
tomorrow.
The New York tournament
will be conducted Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday with the
semiflnals and finals winding
up the show at Madison Square
