Louisville Cutie
Wins Top Honors
In Golden Gloves

Chicago amp - A cheering
crowd of 11,159 fans who attended
the 33rd annual Tournament of
Champions Golden Gloves copeti-
ton in the Chicago Stadium last
Wednesday night may well have
watched a future world champion.
He is 18-year-old Cassius Clay,
boxing cutie from Louisville,
who won top honors during the
tournament by defeating Jimmy
Jones of Chicago for the heavy
weight crown. Jones was the de-
Tending champ.
Clay who was also the 1859
light heavyweight champion, NOV
ed up into the heavier division with
ease with a masterful exhibition of
boxing skill.
In their bout, televised nation
wide along with three others on
the card, Clay jabbed, shifted out
of range, countered and generally
outboxed Jones, whose knockout
punch was held a big threat for
his opponent.
Boxed Like Veteran
In fact, Clay boxed so we'll that
there were those at ringside who
thought he could start out right
now as a winning pro. He fought
so much like a veteran. Incident
ally, Cassius' younger brother was
eliminated earlier in the tourna-
ment in a bid for the light heavy
weight crown.
Sharing championship honors
with Clay was another talented
tan fighter, jefferson Davis of
Nashville. Davis, an about clouter,
defeated Bill Joiner of Cincinnati
in an action-packed three rounder,
that was also televised.
In winning his bout on decision,
Clay used a stabbing left jab and
follow-up right to beat Jones.
Davis dashed out with savage
rights and lefts to halt his man
after Joiner had given him sew
eral unpleasant moments in the
first round
Clay and Davis were the only
two champions among the eight
crowned Wednesday night. But
they left no doubt that they were
just about the best of the number.
The other champions were Leo
It's Martin of Toledo who won the
middleweight crown by swapping
the 12-fight winning streak of
James Ellis of Louisville; Fred
Hernandez, a finalist from last
years action, who decisioned Mark
Burds of Denver for the Welter-
weight title; Brian O'Shea of Chi
Cago, lightweight champion; Mic
holas Spanakos and Petros Span
akos, both of Hollywood, feather
weight and bantamweight champs,
and Humberto Barrera, Forth
Worth, flyweight titlist.
The eight will invade New York
March 81 for the Chicago-New
York Intercity bouts. The bouts
will be televised.

Coll Pumpsie
Green Major
LEAGUE Timber

Editors Note: This Is an
other In the series Of stories in
vOIving tan players on major
league teams and their prospects
for the SEASON.
By Bill Brewer
Chicago amp - Jerry Elijah
CPumpsie) Green probably figured
in more controversy last season
than any tan player since Jackie
Robinson was signed to an organ
lied baseball rontract for the
Brooklyn Dodgers farm system.
Green was a rookie shortstop
when he went to the Boston Red
Sox spring training camp at Scot
tsdale, Ariz. He was the first tan
player on the Millionaires' roster.
That in itself was news.
But Pumpsie made more news
even before he had time at bat in
an exhibition game. He became a
center of controversy when the
Red Sox could not accommodate
him in Scottsdale with his team
mates.
After being selected the out
standing rookie in camp, Green
was shunted back to the Red Sox
chief farm team, the Minneapolis
Millers of the American Associa-
ton. Boston's bosses said they
didn't consider him ready.
That set off another controversy
With the Red Sox wallOwing in
second division, the Boston NAA-
CP brought charges of racial dis
elimination against Tom Yawkeys
team. The case eventually reached
the Massachusetts ommitte
Against Discrimination, which alb
solved the Red Sox of any bias.
Proves Clubs Brass Wrong
Green, meanwhile, remained aloof
from all the controversy and took
another tack to show the Red Sox
how wrong they were With the
American Association team, he
batted 1920 in SO games, fielded
impressively and deported himself
otherwise as a potential major
Lacquer.
Late in the season, the parent
club called him up. He joined the
Red Sox in July and continued to
hit WE'LL .313 in July and $50 in
August, but tailed off after suf-
fering an injury. His overall mark
was .233.
Green looked like a real conner
on the field and if he shows well
in spring training he might again
return to second base. A switch
hitter, with speed, Pumpsie, in his
eighth season in pro baseball
should prove beyond dispute this
season that he belongs in the ma
jors.

Pleasant WindfoII

Virginia S taxpayers are understand
ably pleased to learn about the $36
million surplus that has come like a
windfall to their budget State.
A substantial surplus had been ex-
pected, thanks to an income-tax ma
neuver which had telescoped two years
of payments into one, but not even the
most optimistic estimate was so large
as the actual sum found to be left over
from the biennium which ended June 30
Governor Almond had predicted a
surplus of about $40 million, largely re-
Sulting from the double income-tax COL
lection. State Senator Harry F. Byrd. .jr.,
and other opponents Of the Governors
sales tax program, on the other hand,
had forecast surplus of up to $50 mil
lion-an amount which they said would
make sales tax unnecessary. They
succeeded in defeating the Almond gen
eral sales tax program-but substituted
for it sales tax limited to liquor, beer
and tobacco. Governor Almond attrib-
uted the underestimate of the surplus
to unexpectedly large revenues from in
come, business and other taxes and to
nearly SIS million in uneXpended funds
returned by various State departments
and agencies.
The Governor has a right to take
credit for at least part of the fund re-
versions, for, after the adoption by the
Legislature of his record spending pro-
gram, he called on all department heads
to keep spending to minimum. The
economy move proved to be very effec-
tive. He had warned that unless saw
ings were made, it might be necessary
to summon the General Assembly into
an emergency tax session this year.
The curb on spending while con-
tributing to Virginias improved finan-
cial picture, may have serious repercuS-
sions later, however. Many of the prof.
ectS suspended in accordance with the
Governors request undoubtedly will be
revived and some Of them are said to be
of such a nature that they cannot be
indefinitely postponed. So the States
financial problems Of the immediate fu-
ture are by no means solved. In fact, If
the increasing demands for State aid
to the counties and for improved State
institutions and services are to be fully
met, more revenue sources will have to
be tapped And the chances are that
more items than whisky, beer and ciga-
retteS will be brought under the sales
tax program before reasonable balance
between income and outgo is achieved
as Virginia's budgets continue to grow.

'ScondoIous' Is Riqht

Senator PaStore of Rhode Island
was thoroughly justified in describing
as "a horrible situation-scandalous
the near-breakdown of justice at the
Juvenile Court growing out of the fail
ure of Congress to provide additional
judges. His comment was prompted by
the Commissioners emergency request
to the Senate Appropriations Committee
for funds with which to employ four
temporary hearing masters to aid Judge
Ketcham in reducing the enormous
backlog of cases
Actually, the impaSse on legisla-
tion for two additional Juvenile Court
judges results from a one-man block
ade erected by Representative Davis OF
Georgia, chairman of House District
subcommittee. Although the Senate
long ago approved the bill for two more
judges, the Davis subcommittee has sat
on the measure for more than year.
Meanwhile the caSe-load at the court
has continued to rise until it is physi-
cally impossible for one judge to cope
adequately with the influx of business.
Judge Ketcham told the Senate group:
Our whole system of juvenile justice
is faced with collapse"
Commissioner Mclaughlin, in plead
ing for the masters plan, explained that
it was proposed because I'VE are desper-
ate" Under this proposal the masters
would hear cases and make recommen-
dationS to the judge, who would make
the final decision. This obviously is only
an expedient, stopgap remedy. 1t is
no permanent cure for the docket di-
lemma which confronts the one e-judge
court. The crisis, affecting not only the
welfare of Juveniles in trouble but the
safety of the whole community, calls for
an end to the senseless and dangerous
inaction on the judgeship legislation
whatever relief measures may be devised
in the interim.

not be expected that without
the employment of Negroes
in personnel selection that
there will be equal and un-
biased selection of people
on the basis of merit. There
cannot be justice under the
law without Negro jurists
and full participation in
making and enforcing laws;
neither absence from police
brutality and other abuses
without representative num-
bers of the group at all levels
of law enforcement. Negro
neighborhoods can be as
sured of all the facilities and
services offered in the COM
munity at such time that
they are participating fully

tion.
1t cannot be expected that
true representative democ-
racy can be achieved with
out representation in Con-
gresS from and within those
areas where Negro groups
would by number hold the
balance of political power.
The Washington area, be-
ing the headquarters of the
worlds democracy and the
center of Federal institutions,

areas of human rights. The

placed contrary to Virginia
State law and contrary to va
rious municipal ordinances.

ly informed. There have been
numerous requests to re-
move these illegal posters.
1t is suggested that those

Good Answer

President Eisenhower expressed an
admirable mixture of personal loyalty
and common sense in one brief exchange
at his news conference this week. Asked
If he regretted" having kept Ezra Ben
son on as Secretary of Agriculture in
view of the "unreSolved farm problem"
and the part the issue will play in the
Forthcoming campaign, the President
replied directly to the point.
He said: Ezra Benson has, in my
mind, been very honest and fortnight
and courageous in trying to get enacted
into legislation plans and programs that
I think are correct. Therefore, for me
to- regret that he has been working
would be almost betrayal of my own
views in this matter. I think we must
find ways to give greater freedom to the
farmer and make his whole business
more responsive to market, rather than
just to political considerations"
1t is doubtful if even the most Stri-
dent of MIR. Benson's critics, political or
otherwise, would seriously deny his hon
eSty, forthrightneSS and courage. The
man from Utah has displayed all of
GAlCOC 4udl1GACo Ill
nearly eight years of hand-to- hand en-
counter with problem that, as he once
remarked has existed through the period
of. two wars and four Secretaries of
Agriculture before he took his own place
on the firing line
1t is probable too, although not likely
to- be admitted on the hustings, that
there are many who have been deeply
involved in "the problem" who agree
with at least the simple framework of
the Eisenhower formula for its solution.
Mr.. Benson himself expressed a similar
view some time ago when he remarked:
The economics of the farm dilemma is
simple-it is the politics that is battling
What farmers want and need is less
Government in the farming business
less politics in agriculture"
Politics being what it is, and this
year being one of politics as usual, there
is little hope that simple solutions will
be in high fashion. 1t is, however,
timely to remember that Mr.. Benson
did not create the problem that he has
been unable to resolve and that Con-
greSS, under Democratic control through
most of the post World War II period,
has been likewise unable, or unwilling,
to solve it.
