a orSh-South split in this con.
Vention.
Makes Other Requests
In a statement prepared fol
delivery later today. Mr.. Rauh
also asked for: A pledge OF
executive and legislative action
to protect all citizens in exer-
ciSing their constitutional rights
during the difficult transition
period ahead; and a pledge to
end filibusters which have
blocked civil rights legislation in
Congress in the past.
The committee will hear many
more organizations today and to-
morrow on the civil rights issue
before closing its hearings. A 16-
member drafting subcommittee
probably will start work Sunday
on the actual writing of the plat
form.
Confusion Created
Mr.. Truman created some con-
fusion on the civil rights issue
by conflicting statements today
During a morning walk, the
former President was asked if he
believed a majority recon-
mendation by his civil rights
commission in 1947 that Federal
funds be withheld for schools
and highways in segregated
States was a good one.
Il do" he replied. 1T is just
as good as at the time the re-
port was submitted"
Later Mr.. Truman put out a
statement saying there was
some misunderstanding" about
the answer he had given.
He said his view about with
holding Federal aid grants was
that which he had expressed in
a letter recently to Representa-
tive Boiling. Democrat of Mis-
souri,. In that letter, he said
adoption of an amendment to
bar Federal aid to segregated
schools would kill the school aid
bill.
The bill subsequently was
killed in the House.
Although Mr.. Truman, who
was the center of attraction here
all day yesterday. stood by all of
the civil rights programs he ad-
vocated when he was President
the Southerners were not dis
turbed by his testimony because
he did not dwell on the Supreme
Court school decision.
Said former Gov. John S. Bat

Southern group:

Since both heavyweights -

crack at Rocky Marciano's crown,
faces a tough obstacle Wednes-

Holman, rated third in the

He has been looking very good
ir recent TV bouts and could
possibly wind up with title

which will be no easy task.
Joe, young Irishman, is
a rough customer and a clever
boxer. He is capable of taking
plenty of punishment and fight

Move to Attach
Louis Trust Fund

/ CHICAGO. Dec. is (R.-The
Federal Government appears to
be making Roadway in its bio
to seize a $65,O00 trust fund SET
up by Joe Louis. former heavy

children.
Attorney Aaron Payne yester-
day said the United States Tax
Court in Washington has APP
proved the Governments move
and will make its decision public
Monday.
Payne. who has been repre-
senting Louis in the case, said
the decision will be appealed.
The Government seeks to at
tach the fund set up for Joe,
dr., 8, and Jacqueline, Is, as part
payment of Louis tax debt which
was calculated early this year
at $1,199,437. in taxes and in
terest.
The children were born to
Louis and his first wife, the for
mer Marva Trotter. They live
with their mother and her hus-
band. DR.. Albert l.. Spaulding,
in Chicago.
The fund was set up so that
each child would receive half
the money at the age Of 81.
Louis has had tax troubles for
years despite the fact that he
earned an estimated $4,606, 72l
in purses. He held the heavy
weight title from 1887 to 1919.
Louis says he doesn't have the
money to pay his entire tax
bill but Payne said Louis paid

three months.

the ice in early season. Losers OF

that streak and now have won
six out of their last nine.
