Heavyweight contender Sonnv
Liston contends that Floyd Pat
terson has drawn the color line
against fighters Of his own race
while heavyweight champion of
the world.
The accusation is made in az,
article in Ebony magazine,
which quotes Liston as claim
ing: Patterson draws the color
line against his own race. He
hasn't fought any colored boys
since becoming champion"
Actually in his ten defenses
since winning the heavyweight
championship from Jersey Joe
Wolcott, one colored opponent,
Hurricane Jackson, has been
faced by Patterson. Liston in
the Ebony article declares his
dislike" for Patterson because
he has refused to battle colored
contenders. "We have a hard
enough time as it is in this
white mans world" says Liston.
The Ebony article recounts
Liston's record of law violations
and traces most of his troubles
to his slum upbringing and ra-

society was his enemy" observes

CSS ALABAMA

The United States protested
violently through its minister,
Charles Francis Adams, but be-
cause of red tape and the illness
of a British official, the English
built CSS Alabama left England
OH July 20, 1862 before the Brit
ish could issue orders for its
retention. The boat was out
fitted in the Azores and there
secured it's captain, Raphael
Semmes of Mobile, as we'll as
its other officers and crew.
During the next two years of
raiding on the high seas, the
Alabama destroyed $6,750,O0O
worth of Northern shipping and
captured 50 United States ves-
sells. The Alabama was never
able to come into a Confederate
port and always depended on
foreign ports for food and sup
plies.
In October, 1862, Semmes
caused near panic in United
States shipping circles by prey
ing on commerce in New Found.
land waters and then coming
within 200 miles of New York
City. He seized II whaling ves-
sells and 16 other ships at this
time. In December, 1862, the
Alabama was back in New York
waters, capturing the USS
Ariel, for which Semmes asked
ransom bond of $261, 900. Sail
ing ell over the Atlantic, she
menaced United States vessels
and caused marine insurance in
the North to skyrocket. The
Alabama is partly responsible
for the decline of the U. S.
merchant marine, which continu-
ed after the war.
During Sundays battle in
which thousands watched from
the shore, the Alabama was
sunk off Cherbourg, France, on
June 10, 1862 by the USS
Kearsarge. The Alabama badly
needed repair by this time and

to present a serious threat to
the launch" the spokesman
said.
Concern over the smoke

u. S. Will Move Grain
From Estes Elevators
House Quiz
Set to Open
On Monday
By the Associated Press

The Agriculture Department
said today it will move some AZ
million bushels of grain out of
elevators and warehouses owned
or connected with Billie Sol
Estes, Texas financier now un-
der indictment for fraud.
In another development, a
House subcommittee announced
it will open public hearings
Monday on the Estes case.
Its chairman, Representative
Fountain, Democrat of North
Carolina, pledged an investi-
cation that will LAY all the
facts on the table"
Mr.. Fountain said he would
not foreclose the calling Of
Estes himself as a witness, but
said no subpoena had been is
sued for Estes as yet. He said
he did not know now who the
first witnesses will be Monday.
He said it is likely that
someone will be brought from
Texas to appear during the
hearings. He declined to say
whether Texas Attorney Gen.
eral Will Wilson would be
asked to testify.
First Public Probe
Mr.. Fountain heads the
House Intergovernmental Rela-
tions Subcommittee. His group
will be the first in Congress
to conduct public hearings on
the Estes case, but a Senate
subcommittee is preparing a
wide-ranging inquiry.
Mr.. Fountain said his sub
committee would concentrate
on grain storage aspects of the
case, but might also take q
look at Estes dealings in cot
ton allotments.
Asked If his subcommittee
had access to reports of the 76
FBI agents President Kennedy
has said are assigned to the
case, Mr.. Fountain said Attor-
ney General Robert F. Ken
nedy has pledged full cooper
alton so that all the facts will
be placed on the record.
Estes got more than 81 mil

costs on the AZ million bushels
of grain the Agriculture De-

Copper Profit
Told toProbers
$66e 900 U. S. Loss
In StockpiIe Deal
Is Described

Senate Stockpile investigators
were told today that a decision
by Franklin Floete, admins
traitor Of the General Services
Administration in 1856, en-
abled a Chicago copper COM
pany to make a $5.6 million
"windfall profit" and cost the
Government at least 1863 900.
The firm, Calumet & Hecla
Co.. was allowed to defer de-
liveries of copper to the stra-
tegic Stockpile during the time
when market prices were high.
1t then was able to negotiate an
increase in the Government
purchase price which gave it
additional profits when the
open market price fell, testi-
mony today said.
James L. Kunen, Washing
ton lawyer, whose firm repre-
sented Calumet & Hecla dur
ing some Of the negotiations,
was dismissed yesterday as an
Office of Emergency Planning
consultant because Of his role
in the six-year-old transaction.
Subcommittee Probes
He was summoned to appear
today before the investigating
subcommittee headed by Sem
ator Symington, Democrat of
Missouri, which is looking into
operations of the multibillion-
dollar strategic materials stock
pile.
Mr.. Kunen listened this
m orning as Subcommittee
Counsel Richmond c. Coburn
elected details of the compli-
Gated negotiations from Loui:
Brooks, a deputy assistant con-
troller in GSA.
AS outlined by Mr.. Brooks
and Mr.. Coburn, this was the
sequence of events in the Calu-
met & Hecla case:
On January 6, 1858, when
copper was selling at 241a
cents a pound on the market,
Calumet & Hecla agreed to
furnish between 146 million
and 205 million pounds of the
strategic metal to the Govern
ment stockpile at a price of
27a cents a pound.
Deferred Delivery
My mid-1955, however, the
market price Of copper had
risen to SO cents a pound. CAL
met & Hecla asked for and
was allowed to defer delivery
on 20 million pounds and it
defaulted on another 20 million
pounds obligated to the stock
piles. 1t sold this copper on
the open market.
In June, 1855, the company
asked GSA to allow it to stretch
it's deliveries over an additional
three years beyond the 1856
deadline.
