The author of the best-seller
novel, which won a $4,000 award
over 855 contestants, also wrote
the screen play of the motion

taut and suspenseful story of a
young university instructor in
law who gets his first taste of
real criminal law practice when
he defends a Mexican youth on
trial for the murder of a high
school girl. In doing SO he is
caught in a maze Of gripping
circum stances involving the
embarrassing lawyer with
whom he is associated, the lat
ter's attractive secretary. the
District Attorney who opposes
him, and the hysterical mother of
the accused youth.

Joe Louis
Is Satisfied

Chicago-oe Louis, reminis-
cling over his ring career in the
November EBONY, says, "Td do
the same thing all over again
without changing any part of my
past life" There would be no
changes in his life, says Joe, no
changes, that is, except he would
not divorce his ex-wife Marva,
who is now married to a Chicago
physician. Joe, writing for the
10th anniversary issue Of EB-
ONY, states that his divorce is
the one thing he will always re-
greet.
AS for his bad investments,
spending lavishly on his friends,
being a song-and-dance man and
high living he says, "People
seem to think that if l had a Sec
ond chance I'd hang on to more
money and make wiser invest
ments. Maybe SO, but it's easy
to look back and say he did this
or that wrong after everything
has happened. But even though
l can see where / made mistakes

didn't do too badly"
When writing about being free
with his money Joe says, Il fig

my friends. 1t wasn't that | was

believe that if things had been
the other way around, my friends
would have done the same for
me-"
Joe reveals that he has four in
comes which make the chances
slim that he will ever be down
and out. The incomes are $4,000
as boxing directors for the Inter-
national Boxing Commission; he
earns two per cent Of the gross

as; he is a partner in the Joe
Louis Milk Co. in Chicago; and
he is vice-president of a Detroit

Wolfson has won an important
legal Skirmish in his court fight
to gain control Of Montgomery
Ward & Co.
MANAGEMENT, however, will
carry the fight to a higher court.
In a ruling yesterday Circuit
Court Judge Harry M. Fisher
declared unconstitutional section
35 of the Illinois business cor
poration act. This is the legal
foundation for the Ward stag
gered system of electing direc-
tors.
The effect of the ruling is to
direct Ward to elect a full board
of nine directors in April, in
stead Of only three. Thus Mr..
Wolfson's chances of gaining
control Of the board appeared
increased.

Antitrust Inquiry
Into ~ Industryls
Urged by Senate Aide

A Justice Department inquiry
to determine whether existing
practices in the television In
dustry involve anti. trust law
violations was recommended to
the Senate Commerce Commit
tee today by its special counsel,
Harry M. Plotkin.
The committee itself, which
began investigating television
network regulation last year. has
reached no final conclusions.
Senator Magnuson, of Washing
ton, the new Democratic chair
man, said Mr.. Plotkin's report
will form the basis for further
committee studies before final
conclusions are reached.
But Senator Magnuson sounded
a warning that while the Gov
ernment has left broadcasting
to those presumed to be best
qualified to operate it, there
results "a continuing respon-
sibility on Congress and its ad-
ministratiye arm, the Federal
Communications Commission, to
insure that private monopoly
does not occur where Govern
ment monopoly was avoided"
FEC Criticized.
Senator Magnuson also said
he has been distressed by delay
In getting final decisions from
regulatory bodies like the FEC,
land that some of the commits
sion's procedures seemed de-
signed to impair rather than
improve its administrative and
quasi-judicial functions"
DR.. Frank Stanton. president
of the Columbia Broadcasting
System. said that if the Ncom-
mendations were adopted met
work television as it is known
today would be gravely crippled
and the public's investment of
$13.5 billion in receivers would
be substantially deprecated"
DR.. Stanton said the COM
mittee submitted questionnaires
to the networks but the ques-
tions did not even suggest the
major issues with which the
report now deals. He charged
that the recommendations betray
a complete lack Of understand
ing of the complex business Of
television networking.
The head of CHS requested a
hearing if the Senate committee
or the FEC is inclined to give
the proposals any weight.
Not Regarded as Mandate.
Senator Magnuson said today
he does not regard this prelimi-
nary report as a mandate to
the FEC to begin regulating
network practices under its
present powers. He said it is
not intended as a green light to
the commission until the COM
mittee takes some action.
The Senator also announceI
that his committee would begin
going into the counsel's report
after 80 days regardless of
whether or not the Justice De-
partment has presented its views
on the preliminary report by
that time.
Mr.. Plotkin, criticized the OPP

Also. Judge Fisher said, he

Farm Safety
3, HAROLD HELDRETH
National Safety Council

Another frequent cause of accidents
to farm children is falling. Next to ola
neopIe. children are the most frequent
victims of falls. Last year, hundreds
of children under ID years of age were
killed in falls in and around the house.
Small children are susceptible to
MANY types OF falling hazards on the
farm. Falls from ladders and from
hay mows are one type of hazard.
Secondly, children can trip and fall
over misplaced tools, garden hose,
or a toy.
A third type of fall is on slippery
surface. When grease. oil or fruit skins
are spiked. someone may easily slip
and fall on them.
One type of fall which usually in
wolves a child is falling into an aban-
sdoned or uncovered well. A recent story
from Colorado tells of 4-year-old
child falling to the bottom of a 4O-foot
well into three feet of water. A young
man volunteered to rescue the child.
From the crowd that gathered, some
one produced a rope which was quickly
slip-knotted under the volunteer. s Shout
ders. He was lowered into the well and
succeeded in bringing the child to the
surface. But even this quick action was
too late to save the child's life.
To Prevent Falls
Are ladders in good repair?
Are abandoned wells and eisterns
covered securely?
Are tools kept in place?
Are children prevented from play
ing in hay or grain storage buildings?
. Is bottom rung of windmill or silo
ladder at least six feet from ground?
Are children trained by example
to watch their steps at all times?
