From Rags 10
Riches And Back
To Rags Is
Fighters Story

New York.-Although he earned
81 100000 by fighting from 1910 to
1855, he is now broke. This is the
admission of former heavyweight
champion Ezzard Charles in a story
in the June issue of Climax, a
monthly magazine.
Charles tells an interesting and
fortnight story of his rise from
poverty and anonymity up the lad
der to wealth and fame, and his
descent from the top rung back to
the bottom.
All he has left now is his house
in Cincinnati, which is debt-ridden
by taxes, and a couple of part-time
jobs which bring him in a mere
subsistence income. Not only that,
he cannot afford a telephone or a
car.
"My old friends don't come
around any more" laments the ex-
champion, "and those who lived off
me aren't doing so good these days
either"
The fortune that he earned from
122 professional fights during the
nine-year period was not squan-
dered in riotous or immoral living,
the former fighter explains; he
never kept women, smoked or
drank liquor; he never had more
than one car at time" he was a

Bourguiba Among Friends
THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR

Two approaching international exchanges give
Tunsian Pres Bourgubas visit to Washington special
umelness. They the now-almost-assured negotia-
lions between French and Algerian Mosem leaders for
ceasefre in Algeria and the talks President Kennedy
and French President de Gaue have scheduled for late
May (and which should be preceded by cease fire. in
FrenchAmercan verbal battles arising out of the AL
giers rebellion and the Amercanbacked exile invasion
In the French Algerian struggle Mr.. Bourguiba has
played key constructive role risking his considerable
but by no means surplus prestige to bring the French
and the Mosem rebels into talks after repeated
disappointing contacts between them
In the presently stormy passage of what has been
described interminable romance between France
and the United States Mr. Bourgubas experience with
President de Gaule may hold some useful points for
President Kennedy.
Aside from his usefulness in bringing others into
closer understanding Mr. Bourguiba has other achieve
ments that recommended him to the American people
who now his hosts The most moderate of the out
standing North African leaders (ndeed considered
pro-Western by some of them) Mr. Bourguiba never
theess the first to gain independence for his
try.
Throughout the Algerian turmoil Mr. Bourguiba
has never wavered in his support of the Moslem rebel
lion. By remarkable dexterity he has maintained
position between the Communist and Western worlds
which seemed at odds with his opposition to France in
North Africa Few nationalist leaders have fought as
successfully for their countries freedom and
as balanced a view on world problems as whole
