ALTHOUGH MR.. LOUIS is
no longer in his day, few
barroom boxing conferences
are complete without, "for
my money Louis in his day
coulda licked Dempsey"
Time has not changed him
much. The only concession
the 47-year-old has made is
a slightly pudgy 235 pounds
and a balding spot.
He is still quiet and humble
and yesterday he looked at
times like the sehoolboy he
never had a chance to be
as he sat with folded hands
and said the public relations
firm, of which he is vice
president, pulled out of their
contract to promote tourism
in Cuba last summer.
They never got the money
owed them for past services,
but this is nothing new to
Mr.. Louis. One of the most
successful fighters of all time,
he has also been one of the
most unsuccessful business
men.
There was a bottling COM
pany in Baltimore that failed
and a restaurant back in De-
troit. The man who made 81
million in his ring never
managed it we'll and a hang
over of back taxes brought
him out of retirement as
often as does the vanity of an
aging movie star. ~
1t seems this was always
the way on business ventures.
In Detroit, where MIR. Louis
grew up studying boxing
more than books, there was a
friend named Freddy, a born
entrepreneur of sorts.
Mr.. Louis told one story of
their combined business eff
forts.
THAT Freddy. Always was
a promoter. When we was
kids Freddy and I used to
sell ice. Freddy'd sit there
and holler ICE!'-and guess
who'd deliver it to the door"
The boxing business being
what it is, of his 81 million,
it is said, only about $780,
900 filtered down to Mr..
Louis.

into a fist for a long time,
reached down to a boy too
young to ever see him fight
but the boy went away with
a look previously reserved
only for Mickey Mantle.
No one seems in a hurry
to forget Mr.. Louis, the only
heavyweight champion to
stand up there for 11s4 years.
He was stopped often for
autographs yesterday as he
walked through the New SEN
ate Office Building on his
way out of Washington after
a double dip of Senate hear
ingS. At one he indorsed a
bill to bring Federal control
to boxing, at the other he
explained his brief, unprofit-
able, public relations, career
with the Cuban Tourist Com
mission.

diplomat and the Soviet Pre-
mier discussed. Mr.. Thompson
had carried a written message
from Mr.. Kennedy to Mr..
KhruShchev expressing hope
for an improvement in United
States-Soviet relations and de-
claring Mr.. Kennedy's complete
confidence in Mr.. Thompson.
Laos Heads Topics
In addition Mr.. Thompson
had detailed instructions on a
wide variety of subjects, in
cluding the current crises
which carry the greatest dan
ger Of direct military clashes
between American and Soviet
forces or forces backed by
them.
Secretary Rusk told a news
conference yesterday that "the
situation in Laos is at the
moment in a state Of negotia-
ton rather than stalemate. "
He thus kept open official
hope that diplomatic efforts
would avoid the military show
down which United States Of
ficials fear might draw in
larger and larger forces on both
sides and engulf all of South
east Asia.
Mr.. Kennedy said at his news
conference Wednesday "the
United States has been hopeful
that it would be possible to set
up some procedures where neu-

the security Of Laos, and also

Sures on both Sides"
Mr.. Kennedy is said to have
offered assurance to Mr.. Khru-
shchev through Mr.. Thompson
that the United States has no
designs whatever on Laos and
is fully prepared to treat it as a

today to have advised Mr.,

tatives of neutral nations,
assuming that Premier Khru-
Shchev would agree to the same

Conveyed by Envoy
Mr.. Kennedy'S position was
made known to Mr.. Khrushchev
by United States Ambassador
Llewellyn Thompson who spent
four hours with the Soviet pre-
imier in the city of Novosibirsk
yesterday, it was reported here.
Mr.. Thompson Immediately
returned to his headquarters

Kennedy and Secretary Of
State RuSk. He said it would
be rushed to Washington. Ad-

come back to you"
"A waiter will not accept a
tip from you. If he did, he
tells you, he would lose his
self-respect."
The houses of ill-fame
are gone. 1t is possible for a
young lady to walk along the
streets unmolested. This is
something great from our
point of view"
Ambassador Gopallawa said
he would not make any gen.
eral judgements, or draw
conclusions from these OBJ
servations. Il just tell you
what exists there, what
saw"
The envoy saw a good deal
of the country in the course
of about five excursions ar
ranged especially for the
diplomatic corps by the gov
ernment. I'VE spent about a
fortnight on each trip" The
Communist officials planned
the itinerary, of course.
Hits For Convenience
Private travel by foreign
diplomats is permitted but
one must receive approval in
advance. They make it very
convenient" Mr.. Gopallawa
said. One uses chits instead
of money and pays later.
Diplomatic life in Peking,
as in Washington, involves
a good deal of entertaining.
Dinners are more common
than cocktail parties and the
dinners, especially state ban
quets, are often "feasts" run
ming to as many as fifteen
courses.
The Communist Chinese
Premier. Mr.. Chou En-lai,
whom Mr.. Gopallawa de-
SribeS as "uuite clever. very
sociable," frequently attends
the diplomatic parties.
At a state banquet "he
goes around to every table
and speaks to everyone" he
said. The Chinese have an
expression that combines the
merican toasts Your
health" and Bottoms up"
Mr.. Chou En-lai delivers
this toast over and over
again as he makes his rounds,
the Ceylon Ambassador said,
and each guest is expected to
drain his glass. Remarkably
enough, the Premier can do
this without loss of his equi-
librium.
The Chairman of the
Chinese Communist Party,
Mr.. Mao Tse-tung attends
such functions only OCCASION
ally, perhaps once or twice
a year, Mr.. ,Gopallawa re-
ported.
The diplomatic corps in
Peking is much smaller than
the corps here, consisting of
about 33 heads of missions.
These diplomats fall into
three groups, the English
speaking. the Russian-speak-
ing and( most recent, the
French-speaking.

some few phrases" of Chi

most of these delegates had
begun to arrive in New York,
mindful of the seriousness of
their mission, but armed
with that essential hope and
optimism that perhaps they
could collectively make some
dent in solving the worlds
problems.
But instead they found an
atmosphere of drama and
sadness, of confusion and
bewilderment. For many of

of France and Ambassador

Ceylon's new Ambassador
to the United States, Mr..
William Gopallawa, can ap-
preciate the United States
position on whether Com
munist China should be ad-
mitted to the United Nations.
He understands, he said
the other day, the delicate
problem of old commitments.
But this envoy, who has
just completed a three-year
tour as Ambassador in Pek-
ing, maintains the question
lis not one of America versus
(Communist) China. 1t is
the world versus China, and
no world organization can
ignore one fourth of the
world population"
In his first private inter-
view since his arrival in
Washington early last
month, Ambassador Gopal-
lava said, THE Chinese are
working hard to develop
their country. In spite of re-
versals, natural calamities
such as the crop failure last
year they are making
very satisfactory progress.
IF they continue to pro-
gress like this for a period of
time, they will become a very
powerful nation"
Mr.. Gopallawa believes ad-
mitting that nation to the
world forum of the U.N.
would be far wiser than
leaving them severely
alone"
No Strikes
Asked if he would view a
representation of the Peking
regime at the U.N. as true
representation of the Chinese
population, he replied, Il
saw no strikes. no demon
strations against the re-
gime). I think it is incorrect
to say they (the government
officials) do not represent
the people.
Everyone in the United
States does not agree with
the policies of your Presi-
dent. But can it be said Mr..
Kennedy does not represent
the American people?"
What were some of the
things Mr.. Gopallawa did
observe in Comm munist
China?
There is little or no
crime" he said. Il have not
seen anybody drunk and dis
orderly"

the delegates, which was
scheduled for Thursday, has
been postponed until a later

Sir zafrullah Khan, were
also Cancelled.
The dinner planned by
United States Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson for the
American delegation went on
as scheduled last night. How
ever, instead of a happy,
black tie affair, it became a
serious working meal with
the delegates coming straight
from their offices in their
business suits.
Throughout the day the
pace had been hectic at the
United States Mission Build
ing, just across from the
United Nations proper.
A galaxy of statesmen filed
in and out during the day,
keeping I'V crews and press
in a constant state of vigi-
lance at the front doors.
Array of Advisers
Inside, Am b a ssador
Stevenson and his delegation
had with them a truly for
midable array of advisers to
help them through this vital

were a shameless example of in

Miller points out that injustice,
