For Posing the Buck
Los ANGELES, Jan. 81 (P-

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IL ~
Democratic Gov. Averell Harri-
man Of New York says President
Eisenhower passes the buck to
his associates rather than take
the responsibility"
In a news conference yester-
day, Gov. Hartman said also,
Eisenhower is the biggest dodg-
er of any President we've ever
had in my memory" adding that
his memory went back as far as
the Mckinley administration.
Gov. Hartman, prominent
among those mentioned for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ltion, criticized the Republican
administration for what he
termed its "lukewarm. reluctant
or non-existent policies"
Queried on Ridgway
The "dodger" assertion came
when Gov. Hartman was asked
his opinion of the Presidents
remarks concerning Gen. Mat
thew Ridgway's published diff
lferences on 1854 military policy.
Eisenhower is creating the
impression he's over and above
the administration" Gov. Har-
riman said, adding that the
President doesn't take RESPONSE
bility for his programs.
BY contrast. Gov. Hartman
said, former President Truman
always took responsibility for
his programs"
He accused Mr.. Eisenhower Of
passing the buck" when he re-
ferred reporters to the Pentagon
CONCERNING a statement in the
1854 state-of-the- Union mes
sage. The President had claimed
the Joint Chiefs of Staff had
agreed on an Army manpower
cut; Gen. Ridgway says he OPP
posed it.
While Gov. Hartman de-
INJURED at being called either
"active" or inactive" at this
stage, newsmen here were in
clined to tab him a lightning
rod candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Sample of Opinions
Before leaving for Arizona. he
wound up a third day Of giving
California a sample of the opin-

litical lightning away from Adlai
Stevenson and Senator Kefauver.
He said he had no intention
Iof entering any primary race. but

his name will be put in nominal

convention by the New York
State delegation "aS a candidate
and not just a favorite SON."
Gov. Hartman gave TWO ad~

and the Greater Los Angeles
Press Club. But his main charges
at the President came during
the news conference.

Kefauver Hits
Dulles Policy

BOSTON, Jan. 81 B-Sen-
ator Kefauver, Democrat Of Ten
'nessee, said today the United
States has been placed in q
position where "the trump cards"
of its diplomacy ARE all threats
of atomic war"
He said in a speech prepared
for the New England Weekly
Press Association that a "few
more plumbers" like his brink
of-war" interview and "Secre-
tary Of State Dulles win have
outlived his usefulness"
Senator Kefauver referred to
a controversial article in Life
Magazine in which statements
attributed to Mr.. Dulles-and
verified by him in substance
have aroused criticism from
Democrats and from abroad.
Senator Kefauver, a candidate
for the Democratic presidential
nomination. said he does not
doubt that Mr.. Dulles wants
peace, but that "it only seems to
me that he takes the most dam
gerouS means Of achieving It."
"He says that he carried US
three times to the brink of war
and artfully brought us back
again." Senator Kefauver said.
And the Senator added:
Secretary of Defense Wilson,
during all this period, does not
appear to have moved up to the
brink of war. There is no
evidence that the armed forces
were ready for any final engulf-
ing war. The people of the
United States certainly were not
prepared for a war"
There are now enough bombs
on both sides to blow to dust
every target of any military
significance in the whole world"
Senator Kefauver continued. 1T
is not a time for boyful games
and fanciful illusions"
Attacking administration do
nestle policies. Senator Ke-
fauver said that despite the
apparent prosperity of the Ma
ton, business failures are rising
and it is mostly small businesses
which are failing"

ToPay Back Tax

New York, July Is - Sugar
Ray Robinson, recrowned middle
weight champion and now acclaim
ed as "The Comeback Kid" last
week was reported making plans to
sell his Seventh Ave. properties to
pay back taxes.
Sugar Ray, who at one time owed
the government more than $4,000
in income taxes from past bouts,
is putting up for grabs bar, four
houses and a tailor shop.
Unlike Joe Louis, who is exper-
fencing crushing income tax diff

his way to solving his tax prob
lens. After his second champion
ship fight with Carl (Bobo) Olson
in Los Angeles, the dapper fight

his tax debts and reached an agree
ment with government officials to
pay off the remainder on an INSTALL
ment basis.
The newest development, how
ever, might enable Ray to pay
off the remainder in full.

Civil Rights legislation as sinister

Among the signers were four
Republicans-William c. Cramer,

The signers pledged themselves

up in the House Monday.
The Presidents bill, which car
ries bipartisan sponsorship, is aim
ed at protecting the Negroes right

A commission would also be ere

Schermer, who is quoted in the

examine their complacency," in re-
gard to human relations, it never

Schermer stated. eve can not build
faith in democratic principles by
merely discrediting the American

The Commission director said,
"By quoting me only partially and
incorrectly, the magazine has put
into my mouth words which do not
reflect the true picture and which
seem to discredit the whole concept
of fair employment legislation.
"In discussing segregation pat

Louis Trainer,
Dies AT 81 Yrs.

Chicago, Ill. July 16-Johnny
Behr, veteran boxing coach of Gold
en- Gloves and Olympic teams, and
former instructor of Joe Louis
during his amateur days, died here
last week of heart attack. He
was 62.
Death came to Behr as he was
watching handball game in the
Illinois Athletic Club, where he
was director Of athletics.
Behr himself had participated in
the game until he apparently be-
came ill, other players reported.
He had just gone up to the balcony
to rest when he suffered the at
tack.
One of the players, James Mo-
ran, said he saw Behr topple from
chair he had taken in the bal
cony. The players applied respira-
ton and an inhalator squad was
brought in, but Behr could not be
revived.
AS a Golden Gloves coach, Behr
trained several amateur boxers who
later became pros and went on to
win championships. Most outstand-
ing Of these are Joe Louis, former
heavyweight champion; Barney
Ross, former welterweight titilist,
Tony Zale, who ruled the middle
weight division; Joe Maxim, former
light heavyweight champion; Ez-
zard Charles, who succeeded Louis
to the heavyweight championship;
Harold Dade, who held the bantam
weight title, and Wallace (Bud)
Smith, current lightweight cham
pion.
Behr had knack for inspiring
athletes to action with his quiet
soft spoken manner.

Remodeling often starts in the
kitchen, which is the most lived
in and very often the least liv-
able room in the house. Some
homeowners prefer to combine
their kitchen and dining areas =
others to separate them. Either
way, the use of quality plastic
wall tile will provide beauty, dur
ability and ease of maintenance
for the homeowner - and is easy
and economical to install, wheth-
