Don Quinn q
Benny Mason On
MaN Is Cord

Don Quinn and Benny Mason win
be back as 10-round headliners at
the st. Paul Auditorium Monday,
May l5--but not against each
other.
Promoter Jack Raleigh, presi-
dent Of the newly reorganized st.
Paul Boxing and Sports Associ-
ates, Inc, said "Quinn and Mason
put ON one Of the greatest fights
in the history Of a town that has
had plenty Of great fights. They
again could make Sc. Paul major
league IN that sport.
This time I think We win have
to bring in opponents for both men.
They have just about ran through
the best Of the state talent"

after two more bouts.
~ Immediate recognition a.

from a ringside tank by Quinn in
the next fight.
~ Clarification that his home Is

lives at Ss5 Central Av., ST. Paul }
Quinn, rolling to a 18th straight
victory in a viscious battle with
Mason was unable TO put down the
rugged but light rival I'm ready
to fight anyone Raleigh wants to
bring in" the state heavyweight
champion said.
OF his demands Mason said II
had only one four round bout
with Conrad Lee in the last two
years and I took the fight with
Quinn as a favor for Jack Raleigh,
and on short notice. With two
more fights I know I not only can
beat Quinn, but knock him out.
II see no reason why Quinn
should be allowed to use oxygen
between rounds. That is an extra
assist that I don't believe Is fair.
I didn't use 1t, or don't need It.
I'm demanding the commission
recognize my claim as light heavy
champ at once. I can make 175
pounds easy. Bobby Daniels (the
present light heavy championJ
hasn't been fighting enough to
merit the title"
AS for an opponent on the next
double wind-up card, Mason said
he did not care particularly wheth-
er 1t was a heavy or a light heavy.
As for the next meeting with
Quinn, Mason also said he would
demand a fifteen round fight.
There is no doubt in my mind,
and most Of the fans either, that
IL the fight had gone a couple of
more rounds, I could have stopped
Quinn" said Mason.
With Raleigh In the new boxing
promotion are Eduardo Flores,
vice president; Jay wolterstOrff,
secretary, Ernest Dsedie. treasurer
and Kenneth Eilxeland. assistant

On the supporting card, Raleigh

A Court Responsibility

Some lawyers have objected to the
Municipal Courts new plan for pro-
tecting INDECENT defendants from pos
sible abuses under the system by which
court-appointed attorneys are assigned
to defend them. Special exception has
been taken to rule requiring such
lawyers to report to the court the fees
obtained from INDECENT clients. E. Lewis
Ferrell, president of the Washington
Bar Association, declared that the
amount Of fees charged by an attorney
are mo business of the court" But we
believe the judges are right in making
it their business to know the fees
charged by an attorney assigned by
them to handle INDECENT cases.
Edmund D. Campbell, president of
the District Bar Association, is a strong
supporter of the courts fee-reporting
plan, as was a special bar committee
which studied alleged abuses over a
period of years and recommended the
rule adopted by the court. The COM
mittee inquired into reports that few
lawyers, appointed to defend indigentS,
showed more interest in how much
money the defendants could pay than
in preparing defense. 1t was said that
guilty pleas were suggested in some
cases in which no money could be paid
for a lawyer
The judges certainly have a re-
sponSibility to make sure that indigents
are properly defended whether they or
their relatives are able to pay fee or
not. We cannot see why any attorney
should object to letting the court know
all details of his court assignment
including the fee charged.

The Old Moqic

That magic touch which landed

five years ago was very much in evidence
as General Eisenhower Stumped the
State this week in behalf of Jim
MitchellS bid for the governorShip.
Obviously, the crowds still liked Ike
and Ike liked the crowds. One gathers
that the quiet life down on the farm,
while good within reason, can be over
done as far as the 71-year-old former
President is concerned.
Nothing that Mr.. Eisenhower said
in support of his former Labor Secretary
will be ranked by future generations
alongside the Gettysburg address. In
fact, it was pretty humdrum stuff. But
that doesn't seem to matter when Cen
eral Ike takes to the campaign trail.
He was big hit with the crowds, and
If some Of his popularity rubs off on
Mr.. Mitchell the odds which already

'Biq Business Splits

To the extent that the term is appli-
cable, American "big business" has
decided to part company within its own
family as far as the international
Labor Organization is concerned.
The ILO is a controversial agency
of the United Nations which is supposed
to concern itself with international
labor management matters 1t is en-
powered to adopt conventions" which,
if ratified by the Senate, would have the
binding force of treaties in the United
States.
Actually, with a few relatively
minor exceptions, the Senate has shown
little enthusiasm for ratifying ILO
conventions. Those which have been
submitted to the Senate, and which
might cut across domestic law, have
been left to gather dust.
Last month, however, the board of
directors of the National Association of
Manufacturers voted to sever it's ties
with the ILO. Presumably, the NAM
feels that the ILO is a propaganda
agency in which American employer
representatives are ill-equipped to COM
pete with professional propagandists
from Communist and Socialist countries.

United States Chamber of Commerce

posed by our association, in

announced that his organization would
continue to participate in the ILO. He
said the chamber thinks that as long
as the United States Government par
ticipates in the ILO, American business
should also continue to participate in
discharge of the businesSman'S citizen
ship responsibilities to assist in winning
acceptance of free enterprise principles
in what remains of the free world"
The effect of this is to draw we'll
defined line between the attitudes
toward ILO of these two major employer
groups. The test of which attitude is
right will come, we suppose, with the
success, or lack of success, which attends
the effort to win acceptance of free

it looks to us like a losing. effort.

Too Good to Pass Up

The current fund drive of the
Greater National Capital Committee has
far-reaching implications for the busi-
ness community as whole and, accord
mgly, for all who live and work here. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that this years
campaign to raise S250,000 is the most
important ever undertaken by the
promotional committee, which is an
offspring of the Board of Trade. What
makes it so important to future CITY,
promotion efforts is the fact that any
failure to reach the 1861 goal would
result in the loss of an unprecedented
S25,OOO appropriation by Congress
toward the program for bringing more
conventions and visitors generally to
the Nations Capital. And if the oppor-
tunity to make use of this first govern
mental contribution should be passed
up, Congress might we'll refuse to
approve any further aid to the program.
That some members of the busi-
ness community of the Washington area
do not seem to be aware of the urgency
of attaining this years goal is indicated
by the tagging pace of the final stages
OF the campaign. Although approx
mately $223,000 has been subscribed by
variety of firms, nearly $4,000 more
must be raised to assure receipt of
the congressional appropriation. The
stipulation on that appropriation, in
cluded in the District budget, was that
it would become available only if at
least $250,000 was received from private
sources. Efforts to close the gap to the
goal have been disappointing of late.
The offer Of governmental funds to
help in the city-boosting program is too
good to risk losing by default. We are
confident that when businessmen who
have been slow to respond, or who have
not responded as generously as the
committee had hoped, come to realize
that the fate of future congressional
appropriations toward the program may
depend on the success or failure of this
years drive, the full $250,000 will be
forthcoming. And every dollar invested
in bringing visitors here always pro-
duces rich dividends in terms of the
millions Of dollars put into circulation
in Washington every year by those who
come here for business or pleasure.

"Kenosho Revolt"

Ihe writer OF your edi-
torial. "Kenosha Revolt
overlooks an important ele-
ment and unfortunately takes
the bait on the union propa-
ganda line. He agrees with
the executive board Of the
United Auto Workers union
that a new election should
be held by the Kenosha local
because the recent UAW-
aAmerican Motors profit-shar-
ing contract was disapproved
by the slim margin of So
votes. 1907 to l.444. Eight
thousand failed to vote.
For years the UAW and
other professional labor or
ganizations have contended
that the majority must rule.
Regardless of how small a
majority. the minority must
bow.
Let your editorial writer
give more thought to the Ke-
noSha issue. Let him ask
himself if the Kenosha tally
were reversed - if the con-
tract had been approved by
63 votes-would Walter Reu-
ther be demanding a new
election because 5000 failed
to vote?
Let him ask himself if the
vote in the Kenosha local
were over compulsory union
ism or a union shop clause.
would Walter Reuther de-
mand a second election If
compulsory unionism was
chosen by a 63-vote margin
with 5000 failing to vote?
The answers are easy. On
March Ia, 1854. the 3,344 en-
ployes of the Kohler Co. in
nearby Kohler, Wis. voted in
favor of Reuther's strike
against the company, 1,l05 to
148. But 1000 Kohler en-
ployes failed to vote. Mr..
Reuther didn't ask for a Sec
ond election.

elections for hundreds of
members not to vote. This is
not always due to a lack Of

Lottimore's Views

When you are being sold
something it is often wise
to consider who the seller is,
especially when you are not
able to examine the object
but must rely entirely upon
his description of it.
1t is quite apparent that
Owen baltimore is trying to
sell US on recognition of
Outer Mongolia. None Of us
can verify what he has to
say about it. as he is one
of the few Americans per-
mitted to visit it.
1t will be remembered that
Mr.. baltimore, in 1943, accom-
panied Henry Wallace to
Outer Mongolia and Mr..
Wallace came back full of
enthusiasm. 1t will also be
remembered that at Yalta, Mr..
Roosevelt agreed to "see that"
Chang Kai-shek signed a
treaty of friendship with
Stain, which treaty should
recognize the independence"
of Outer Mongolia.
Why do baltimore, the So
Wet Union and possibly Com
munist China wish us to rec
ognize Outer Mongolia and
vote for its entrance into
the U. N? should like to
hear Mr.. Lattimore's answer
to that question.
The Communists are at
tempting to blackmail Ma
tionaliSt China by tying rec
ognition of Outer Mongolia
to that Of Mauritania. If Ma
tionalist China blackballs the
admission of Outer Mongo-
liza in the Security Council it
will antagonize the Asia AT
rican bloc and add votes in
the Assembly to the admis-
sion of Red China into the
U. N.
What is the powerful rea-
son behind this push to ad-
NIT Outer Mongolia into the
United Nations?
F. r. Eldridge.
1t is nice to know that
Adlai has at long last found
out that the Soviet threatens
the United Nations. To most
of us this is old stuff. And
here is one reader who wishes
that you might get just a
little bit hep to Adlai's kind.
Then there is that other lost
soul Owen baltimore. You
gave him a front-page spread
the other day. How come?
What does he stand for that
would even slightly interest
the rest Of us?

Hooray for the Neither
lands! If the Kennedy ad-
ministration refuses to learn
from American history and
the history of the world. it
could at least take a clear
object lesson from our allies,
the Dutch. The Dutch ma
tion, barely larger in area
than Maryland. has acted
directly and unequivocally in
promptly expelling the top
Russian emissary from their
country as a result Of his
arrogant, typically Commu-
mist actions on Dutch soil.
Moscow, accustomed to the
American technique of de-
livering flowery oral and
written protests while re-
treating in fact, splutters in
protest at the Netherlands
fearless action.
L suggest that the vast
majority of the American
people are proud of the
Dutch for standing up to the
Russian bully, and that the
American people would like
to see some of the same
backbone in the current
handling of foreign affairs
by the Government.
If anyone in the admin
istration disagrees with this
suggestion, perhaps the ad-
ministration should take a
poll of our people, or are
polls now looked upon with
disfavor, seeing as how no
poll as to United States
prestige" has been taken
since the Cuba, Laos, Bel
grade, and Berlin wall de-
feats this year?
Where is the United States
backbone to match the oral
promises? Or is it considered
backbone to train Yougoslav
Communists in Texas to fly
United States fighter planes.
