Jesse Owens
Record Broad
jump Smashed

Detroit CAMP - Jesse Owens,
the former U. Olympic champion,
reacted in true sportsmanship
fashion recently upon learning
that his 25-year-old world broad
jump record (set in 1885, was
shattered by another Olympic can
didate in a track and field meet
at Walnut, California
The new record, a leap Of 26
feet, 11-1/4 inches, was made by
young Ralph Boston of Tennessee
State Agricultural and Industrial
university, Nashville, Tennessee. 1t
toppled the 25-year-old mark Of
26 feet, S-1a inches established by
Owens, the former Ohio State
university track star, in a meet
at the University of Michigan in
Ann Arbor, May IS, 1885.
Boston Is, is a member of the
1860 U. S. Olympic team now COM
peting in Rome, Italy.
AS soon as Owens learned of
Boston's accomplishment, he Of
fered his congratulations, saying
his record had stood long enough
and praising the curent crop of
young athletes. Because of his i'm
portance as one of the immortals
of sports, the Associated Negro
Press is herewith publishing in de-
tail Owens comment. He said
IT'S about time the record was
broken % years is long time.
This shows that progress is be-
ing made in track and field. It also
shows that youngsters have come
along today much better than they
did rs years ago.
II am thankful that my record
stood this long. With the type
athletes we have today, many more
are going to be broken"
Owens broad-jump record was
one of the oldest marks on the
track books.
In addition, Jesse established
world marks in the 220 yards
G20.3); and the 22O low hurdles
(:22.7) and tied the record for 100
yards (:O94 in the Ann Arbor
meet. These, however, were brok-
en- years ago.
Once called the worlds fastest
human" Owens was a sensational
performer in the 1886 Olympic
games in Berlin, where he won
three gold medals.

My friend, Ted Marker tells me
that he actually heard this one at
his liquor store.
A man came home Unexpectedly
and surprised his wife in a neg

His wife said; Don't be silly"
He yelled, I'm still smelling

BEAT GENERATION" FLICK
TOO BEAT FOR KENYAN

Nairobi, Kenya (ANP) - Three
American-made films, Jack the
Ripper" THE Beatnik Genera
ton" and Summer Place." were
attacked by a woman member of
the Kenya Legislative Council last
week, termed them unsuitable be-
cause of their portrayal of drink
ing, drug addiction and juvenile
delinquency.
Mrs. A. Shaw took exception to
the films and asked Kenya's Min
lister for Internal Security and De-
Tense, A. Swami, to appoint a
member of the East Africa Wom-
ems League to the film censorship
board. The minister said he would
consider her request.

ST. Louis Cards
Tan Players In
There Pifchinq''
BY Roscoe L. McCrary

ST. Louis, Mo. - With the St.
Louis Cardinals focusing new at
tention upon themselves as strong
contenders for the first division at
seasons end, a second look is be-
ing given at three of the teams
main spark-plugs.
The three-Bill White, hard hit
ting first baseman; Curt Flood,
fleet footed outfielder, and big
George Grove, league pinch home
run hitter.
AS the Cardinals entered the
crucial series with Pittsburgh last
week, White was .316 with 10
homers and 81 RIBS.
Everything is going good"
White said, Il just like to keep
it going that way"
Whites average this time last
year was .341 with only 8 homers
and 81 RIBS.
Flood who has been playing
regularly this season attributes his
better performances to this fact.
He says he's more seasoned" as
he is seeing "a lot more of the
baseball"
IF 1 had a little heavier weight
am now at 1876, I think it's
the weather" He considers his
peak at 1875 or 40.
Grove, who has been providing
some strong offensive play in pin
ches, says Bench strength is very
important these days. There is
always a place for a good pinch
hitter. The moment you let up, a
younger guy will take over"
In answer to an inquiry as to
how long he thinks he will be able
to remain in baseball; he is now
81; Grove says: "As long as I
keep my eye on the birdie"
Apparently Grove has been do
ing just that. When the season
started, Grove was tied with
Smokey Burgess with ten pinch
home runs each. Grove has broken
his own record three times this
year with three four baggers in
clinch moments.
Grove says if the Red Birds
don't suffer any injuries or hit a
slump, they will stay in the race
as first place contenders. AS for
Flood, who was hitting PSI with
seven homers as the team entered
the Pittsburgh series, chances are
good for a pennant" if the pitching
holds up.

THE GOSSIPLE TRUTH:


1t was the other way around
some years ago. Now the boxing
promoters envy the wrestling
promoters with their record break
ing attendences The last two
wrestling shows in Minneapolis
drew more than 1900 fans and
next Tuesday will be a record
crowd again . Jackie Cohen says
that the trouble in the Congo would
never have happened if Tarzan
were younger Senator Hubert
Humphrey will do a guest column
soon And I need a vacation
as my gags are getting weary . q.

FAIR five cent cigar" The
other day opened a fortune cookie
and the message said; Interesting

sage from our sponsor" I had
better end don't you think?
Before finishing I almost forgot
to say something nice about one
of the grandest guys to walk the
sidewalks of Robbinsdale and that
is none other than H. o. Sonny
Sonnesyn, editor of the North Hen
nepin POST and the North Side
POST I've been reading Sonny
essays for some 20 years While
it took me some years to catch ur
with him but finally did at a sports
event. His human-relations is per,
feet and fights like a tiger with
anyone showing any inclination Of
hate against people His recent
series against the hate merchants
will long be remembered by the
lucky folks who read Sonny.

Almost About
Every thing
BY PERCY VILLA

The other night we attended the
highly touted Oceans Eleven" and
found 1t to be one of the most
engrossing, tastfully handled and
colorfully suspense pictures that
ever had us glued to the seat.
Only a few hundred well known
names are in the lineup, ranging
from Frank Sinatra to Dean Mar
tin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Joey Bis
hop, Cesar Romero, Richard Conte,
Red Shelton, Ilka Chase, Buddie
Lester, George Raft and Sen. Jack
Kennedy's handsome brother-in-
law, Peter Lawford.
One line in the dialogue which
had the audience guffawing may
be edited out of the picture unless
Mr.. Nixon is given an equally bad
time Discussing what the gang
will do with the millions in the loot
they hope to steal from five Las
Vegas casinos on New Years Eve.
Lawford says; II think I'll buy me
some votes and go into politicsw
Hy Gardner writes; "The most
popular joke down around City
Hall New York; these days is
that District Attorney Frank Ho-
gan may do a re-make of that
popular film, The Apartment"
co-starring Hulan Jack and Sidney
Ungar."
I heard the following on TV the
other night but liked the way my
friend Myron Cohen told it better
a few years back;
A man called his cronies to his
deathbed. They'd howled, hooted,
played poker through the years
and the dying man was way ahead.
He had one last request-to be
buried in his full-dressed suit, be-
hind the wheel of a brand new
Cadillac hardtop.
His wishes were followed to the
letter. At the funeral service he
sat, fully attired as though for a
night on the town, at the wheel
of the new car.
AS the two attendants lowered

personalities are more likely to re-
member this community for Jones
enterprise as unofficial "city greet
er" than for almost any other
reason.
Unofficial "City Greeter"
For if they do not come by train
Jones is just as likely to rush down
to the bus terminal or the airport
to record their signatures for pos
terity.
His most recent additions were
the Misses Germany, Luxembourg,
Denmark and Thailand, who were
on their way to the Miss Univ
erse" contest in Miami, Fla.
But these signatures might pale
in companions with those of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, President
Eisenhower, Bernard Baruch,
Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Billy
Graham, Clark Gable and a host
of European chieftains of today
and yesterday.
1900 Autographs
Jones has completed his 300th
book, a collection which includes
some 1900 autographs.
The first name he got was that
of humorist Will Rogers. Jones,
then a telegraph runner, delivered
wire to Rogers hotel room. Rog-
ers told him that:
Every boy should have a hobby.
Take this dime and go out and get
yourself an autograph book"
Jones did and Rogers wrote:
Each time we make a friend, we
grow a little Will Rogers"
Gets Rockefeller Dime
A dime also was given to him
by the late John D. Rockefeller
Sr., who autographed his book
with save your money"
But Jones was momentarily
fortunate with another multi-mill-
ionaire, John Pierpont Morgan.
Confronted by a smiling Jones
and his autograph book, Morgan
clustered:
I'm kind of particular about
signing my name. Who are you
anyway" He was told and Jones
got his autograph.
The pages of his books read like
a brief synopsis of the last four
decades.
Herbert Hoover, FDR, Harry S.
Truman and Ike have all signed.
Jones probably has the signature
of the next president, too. Both
Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice
President Richard M. Nixon are
in the book.
When Jones is not working as
redcap and autograph hound, he's
collecting money for the National
Foundation.
"One-Man Crusade"
In his one-man crusade over %
years, he personally has raised
nearly $4,000 for the kitty add
ing $500 during his last vacation
in January.
He's so popular that when the
railroad tried to abolish the redcap
job in 1858, local pressure forced
the ACL to reconsider. A week
later, James was back at his old
post.
That's the story of 50-year-old
James Jones.
Oh, yes. And there's also Jack
Paar and NilIita Khrushchev.
That would about complete
Jones collection until somebody
else became famous enough to be
added to the redcap's personal

Hamp Swings Again

Hamp Swings Again
Swing is represented by Lionel
Hampton and his orchestra, and if
you've ever seen Hamp and his
men work, you know that's saying
a lot. But although basically
swinging album, "Silver Vibes,"
which is the title of Ramps new
offering for Columbia Records, also
has it's mellower side, with such
favorites as Speak Low" on which
the vibraharpist leader excels,
DAY By Day and Blue Moon"
woven into the overall pattern.
These get special treatment from
Hamp and his rhythm section,
while others in the set are given
the traditional big beat treatment.
"Silver Vibes" is to me an in
teresting album which Ramps fans
should enjoy. However, when such
numbers as Flying Home" and
Ramps Boogie" are left out of
the pattern, somewhere, somehow,
the orchestras drive is lacking.
And drive is Ramps major forte.
Just the same, it is good to dig
the Woodworking Hamp in a more
relaxed mood.
Theresa Brewer Wakes Great
Theresa Brewer is singer with
a distinctive style and pleasant
voice, both of which qualities are
recognized to the fullest in her
new album, MY Golden Favorites"
on the Coral label. She runs the
gauntlet from standard ballads to
lively uptempo tunes with fine
orchestra backing. Basically, how
ever, the LIP is a ballad entry
touching on the romantic theme.
This is readily observable in such
tunes as Let Me Go, Lover" you
Send Me" and Empty Arms" all
expertly handled by Theresa. In
fact, she does herself proud on all
the songs, which may also turn
out to be big favorites with her
fans.
Dvorak's 4th Symphony
Record fans who are acquainted
with Dvorak knows how much i'm
agination and feeling he projects
into his compositions, especially
the symphonies. And when his
works are played by the meticul-
GUS London Symphony Orchestra
under the baton of Antal Dorati,
it all makes for the utmost in lis
tening pleasure.
This is exactly what happens
on a new Mercury LIP recording
featuring two of Dvorak's out
standing works: his Symphony No.
4 in C major, Opus SS, and Carn-
avail Overture. The symphony feat
ures brilliant orchestration, while
the overture is melodic and thought
provoking.
Neither time nor space will per-
nit an explanation of the SYM
phony or it's background, but the
four movements it entails are the
most arresting to be, heard on re-
cord. The outstanding feature, Of
course, is the gradual buildup to-
ward the climax. The overture is
more subdued. On both, the orches-
ira performs outstandingly under
Dorati's direction.
If you have a relaxing afternoon
to spend at home, there can be no
better way to use it than by listen
ing to the Dvorak compositions
