Willie's much talked about
hrowing arm came in for special
praise by Frisch. "How about that
arm?" said frankie. "It's the
greatest ever say. Bob Meusel.
of the old time Yankees, was good
too. But you can't beat Willie"
Another ex-star who has Joined
Willie's admirers is Jimmie Dykes,
lcw coach with the Cincinnati
Redlegs. He rates Mays as
"One of the greatest I ever saw"
He compares Willie with Iris
Speaker, but notes that Mays is
a better centerfielder and throws
much better. Dykes went a step
further. 81 think Mays is a bet
ter all-around player than Ty
Cobb" he commented. "Ty couldn't
field in Mays class"
What the experts overlooked
momentarily, however, was Willie's
great ability at plate. Gifted with
razor sharp batting eye, he hits
fast and slow pitches with the
same effectiveness. Sharp-break-
ing curves are his speciality.

Miss Hard, her confidence shat

The victory of Mulloy and Patty

the wreckage of American Tennis.
Hoad, %, and the left-handed Fra

But the old American warhorses,

the youngsters, to the delight of

underdog.
The Australians won the elon-

ALTHEA GIBSON WINS WOMENS SINGLES TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIP In WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND
Harlem Negro Woman Is Congratulated BY The Queen

ing enthusiast rather than a ten
mis- fan, came to Wimbledon for the
first tmie in her life to see the
match. The Queen presented the
trophy-a large golden plate-to
Miss Gibson and shook hands with
both the champion and Miss Hard,
the runner-up.
"It was very hot in the stands so
Pm sure it must have been terribly
hot on the court" the Queen said.
The two players agreed.
So did 1900 spectators, swelter-
ing in shirt sleeves and sun-back
dresses.
Althea received the trophy with
a champions dignity. Then the
star, who learned to play tennis
with crude paddles in crowded up
town Manhattan, clenched her jaws
to keep back the tears yelling in
her eyes.
A year ago Althea came to VIM
bledon on the wave of spectacu-
lar worldwide winning streak only
to bow in the quarter-finals to
Shirley Fry, who won the title,
later married and moved to Aus
tralia.
Althea and Darlene hesitated
momentarily as they approached
the queen in tine center of the court;
as if uncertain when to courtesy!
Althea finally gave the cue and
the two bowed uncomfortably. The
crowd Uttered.
The cute 21-year-old Miss Hard,
thrilled by the presentation cere-
mony, gave a little hop of joy as
they left the monarch's presence.
Althea, a perfectionist when it
comes to her own game, was not
pleased with her service - she
double-faulted a couple times and
had foot faults called on her.
But / was happy about my first
volley," she added. at came off
very we'll" Miss Hard who has
never beaten Althea in their five
meetings, agreed. "Althea didn't
miss a volley," the pert Californ-
ian said. 81 usually try to fit in
after the first volley. Today l
didn't get chance. That first
volley after the service was too
devastating"
Although admittedly nervous, the
, top seeded Althea controlled the
match with her volleying skill and
with concentrated attack on OAR
lene's weak backhand.
The tall New York girl, who
hits ball with the force of a
man, rolled to a 40 lead in the
first set. Miss Hard, obviously
jittery, netted frequently.
The California miss steadied and
won the next two games in row,
breaking Althea's service. But, at

ice a second time in long deuced

liberately isolated himself from
the Negro people, Robson said he
did not deliberately isolate him
self. In fact he was not aware
that he was isolated until the de-
NAL of his passport by Secretary
of State Dulles.
He said the political climate was
not conducive to his seeking sup
port in the Negro community at
the time. At this time he said,
Negro churches have opened their
doors and the Negro community
has extended a most heart-warm-
ing welcome to him.
Rev. A. A. Moten announced
that he would present Robson in
q benefit concert in his church
next fall. The proceeds of the
benefit, Rev. Moten said, will be
used to build $250,O00 youth CEN
ter the church plans to erect.
At the press conference report
ers said Harry Bellafonte associ-
ates with white people, and seems
to have little regard for his own
people, and a Discrimination to
identify himself with Negroes,
while Mahalia Jackson has a base
among the Negro people. Mr.. Rob-
eson was asked to comment on
this. He said the prestige and
artistic accomplishments of Ma
halia Jackson will be recorded in
the annals Of Negro American
history. He did not comment on
Mr.. Bellafonte.
Robson urged Negroes to sup
port Rev. Martin Luther King.
The strength of Negro people he
said, lies within their organizations
and churches as demonstrated by
the magnificent Montgomery, Ala.

In answer to question by re-

him back into his race, Mr.. Rob-

Wimbledon, England, July -
Althea Gibson, a Negro from Har-

the Wimbledon Women's Singles
Tennis Championship and fought
back the tears as she received con-
CALCULATIONS from England's smil-
ing Queen.
The tall, 29-year-old New York
girl overwhelmed Darlene Hard,
a chirpy blond waitress fir o m
Montebello, Calf, 6-3 CO, on the
famed center court steaming in
100-degree heat.
Later she teamed with Miss Hard
to add the women's doubles crown
wi h a 6-1, 6-2 triumph over
Mary Hawton and Mrs. Thelma
Long of Australia. But her bid
for a rare tennis triple was
thwarted when she and Neale Fra

Miss Hard and Australia's Mervyn
Rose in mixed doubles, final events

cidence, they themselves about that
time were discussing the POSSIBLE
ity of going to him in group to
offer their views Some were at
first disposed not to attempt the
course, lest it be interpreted as a
sign of weakness.
Russell Would Accept
Told later of the Presidents re-
marks, however, Senator Russell
said: If the President wishes to
talk to us on this matter, his wish
AS would be the wish of any
President of the United States
will be to us a command. / should
be glad to meet with him in any
circumstances ne might prefer
alone or with others as he might
wish.
From the Senate floor, Senator
Russell charged yesterday that the
Attorney General, Herbert Brown
ell, Jr., had prepared deceptive
piece of legislation that would
amount to IAN unlimited grant of
powers" to the Attorney General
to govern by injunction and Fed
eral bayonet."
The civil rights advocates, Mr..
Russell contended, are pretending
that their main concern is to pro-
tect the right to vote, but in fact
are seeking means to force racial
indignation in the South, in the
schools and elsewhere, even to the
point of possible use of Federal
troops.
The President at his press con-
ference today showed that he had
been disturbed by the comments OF
Senator Russell, with whom ne
chad had plenty of agreeable rela-
tionships. During his military ca
reer. General Eisenhower often APP
peared before the Senate Armed
Services Committee, of which Mr..
Russell is chairman. \.
Rejects Referendum !,
On Senator RusselPs suggestion
of a referendum, the President
said that he doubted that there
was any constitutional basis fer
such a step; that Congress itself
had the responsibility to enact leg
islation, and that in any case the
issue would not make "a very good
subject for referendum, even if
you could have one"
On Mr.. Russell's general denun-
citation Of the bill, however, Pres
ident Eisenhower did not close the
door to the possibility of some re-
vision.
Asked whether he would be will
ing to see it rewritten so it would
deal specifically only with the right
to vote and would not implement
the Supreme Courts decision out
having school segregation, he re-
piled:
s'Well would not like to answer
this in detail, because | was read
ing part of the bill this morning
and There were certain phrases
l. didn't completely understand.
So, before l make any more re-

the street to shake his hand. He
added that there had been a COM
plete change in attitude among Ne
gro people, many Of whom had
been influenced in the past by
State Department propaganda,
compounded by his isolation from
his people. He said he believed
this change in attitude was due
to the fact that Negroes recognize
the militant fight he has made for
his constitutional rights was
fight for Negro rights.
Finally, Mr.. Robson was ques-
toned regarding a statement he
was quoted to have made to the
effect that Negroes would not
fight the Soviet Union. Robson
said that he had been quoted out
of context. He had been asked at
a London meeting Of more than
1000 students, would the Ameri-
can Negro fight the Soviet Union,
the only country with an anti-dis-
elimination clause in its constitu-
ton and lives up to it." He an
swered saying that he said, while
he could not speak for 16 million
American Negroes, he himself GER
tainly would not fight the only
country in the world which had
treated him as a man, regardless
of the color of his skin.
Asked why the left wing had not
supported his magazine, Free
DOM" he said they felt it was too
nationalistic.

marks on that, l would want to
talk to the Attorney General and
see exactly what they do mean"
The President seized on this
with hope and pleasure-pleasure
because Senator Russell had as
serted in his speech the day before,
81 would be less than frank if l
did not say that doubt very much
whether the full implications of
this bill have ever been explained
to President Eisenhower"
The President emphasized that
he was not a lawyer and had not
participated in drawing up the
language of the bill. 81 know what
the objective was l was seeking,
he went on, which was to prevent
anybody from illegally interfering
with any individuals right to vote,
if that individual were qualified
under the proper laws of the state,
and so on. | wanted also to set
up this special secretary in the
Department of Justice to give spe-
cial attention to these matters,
and | wanted to set up Federal
Civil Rights Commission as you
recall.
"Now, to my mind, these were
simple matters that were more or
less brought about by the Supreme
Court decision, and were very
moderate move. / find that men
that are highly respected in their
states and in the Senate, have sud-
denly made statements. This is
a very extreme law leading to dis
order and all that sort of thing.
This to me is rather incomprehens-
ible, but l am always ready to lis
ten to anyone's presentation to me
of his views on such a thing"
Thus, the President at one point
stated that his objective had been
to protect voting rights, later,
however he brought in the segre-
cation decision, as he had done in
his news conference last week.
At that time he described the
Supreme Courts decision as "the
law of the land" and in the same
context he spoke of the injunctive
power that the bill would set up.
1t is on the bills definition OF
those powers that the Southerners
are centering their attack. The
bill would permit the Justice De-
paftment to seek, with or without
the consent of the person affected,
Federal court injunctions against
actual or threatened violations of
civil rights.
Those disobeying such writs, as
issued by a Federal judge, could
be tried by the judge, without a
jury, and fined or imprisoned for
contempt.
Some of the principal civil rights
advocates, among them Senator
Thomas C. Hennings, have publicly
agreed that these proceedings
could be used against schools re-
jecting the Indignation decree.
Too, the President himself, in
laying down his civil rights pro-
gram in the State of the Union
message, Jan. 10, specifically men,
toned not only the enforcement
of voting rights, but this additional
point, amendment of the laws so
as to permit the Federal Govern
ment to seek from civil courts,
preventive relief in civil rights
cases. Preventive relief refers to
injunctive powers.
Debate on the bill started in the
Senate Monday, with Senator
Knowland. Republican leader, re-
ported ready to agree on changes
in the bill, which may include the
jury trial amendment, which sup
porters say will nullify the effects
of the bill.
