The President said he had been
in touch with the Rev. Martin
Luther King, Jr., Negro leader who
has been at the center Of integra-
ton efforts in Albany, to discuss
ways of insuring that demonstrate
ors are not denied their constitu-
tonal rights.
Then Mr.. Kennedy declared:
II don't know any more out
rageous action which I have seen
occur in this country in a good
many months or years than the
burning of church, two churches
because Of the effort made by the
Negroes to be registered to vote.

this country must permit every

Patterson has won So pro
bouts and lost only 2. One of his
losses was a controversial eight
round decision to Joey Maxim.
The other was to JOhansson.
AS can be seen, Listens COM
petition leading up to the title
fight has not been overwhelming
ly impressive, either. I believe,
however, that, his opponents have
been more versatile than Patter-
sons. Patterson, for the most part,
has fought wild swingers whose
main hope was to land lucky
punches" In Foley and Machen,
for example, Liston opposed crafty
ringmen who sought mainly to
outpoint him. He has also fought a
number Of sluggers.
But competition aside, 1 believe
Lston Is too powerful a fighter
for Patterson. He win oVerwhem
the champion, who admittedly Is
faster and Is the superior boxer.
While Patterson viii outgun him
at the outset with his greater var
iety Of punches, the stamina and
punching power Of Liston, who
packs TINT in both fists, win
eventually spell the difference. A
better than average defensive box
er Of the close-guard type, Liston
is a quick counter puncher who
can also absorb considerable pun
ishment. He deals out awesome
punishment himself.
AS the champion, Patterson IL
not obliged to carry the fight to
Liston. He can pick his spots. But
in order to do real damage, hem
have to get past sonny's longer
reach ga to IA inches) and move
in close. This win pose a real prob
lem for Floyd, for Sonny throws
short, straight rights, unlike the
roundhouse swings Of Rademacher,
London, Harris and McNeeley.
I have watched both men care
fully in training and am convinced
that Lston is training for q close,
inside" fight. He plans to bomb
Patterson out with short, devastat-
ing hooks.
Patterson, on the other hand,
is also training for . ~clOse"
fight But he may change tactics
and decide to outlook ListOn over
the 16-rOund route, or set him
up for a TKO in the late rounds.
However, I don't think this win
happen. For If Floyd stays his
distance, Liston will press the
fight, moving in behind jarring
left jabs. His combinations win
not be as sharp as Patterson's,
but they will eventually wear down
the champ.
Several months ago when LIS
ton was on the ropes fighting to
remain in boxing, I predicted that
he would eventually get a crack at
the title. Now 1 am predicting that
he win be the next heavyweight
champion Of the world

JUDD INTRODUCES BILL DESIGNED TO
COMBAT REVERSE FREEDOM RIDERS

Washington, DC. - In response
to a Sept 5, request by Curtis C.
Chivers, president Of the Mime
apolis NAACP Fifth District Con-
gresham Walter Judd on Septem-
Der IA introduced a bill in Congress
designed to halt the sending of
Reverse Freedom Riders to the
North without definite promises
Of jobs at their destination.
The Minneapolis NAACP offic-
ial in a letter in behalf Of the
branch pointed out how white seq
regationists in the South have
been victimizing unemployed
southern Negroes and sending
them to northern communities on
buses with only their fares and
money to eat on.
In most instances the Negroes
are told that jobs await them in
the community to which they are
sent. Redwood Falls, Minnesota
has been the community Louisiana
has been sending penniless Ne
gro families.
Judd's bill H.R. 1874, which has
no chance to be passed in the S7th
Congress, second session was put
in the House hopper last Friday,
Sept. IA. The bill was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill If passed would make 1t
unlawful to furnish transportation
to certain unemployed persons and
members of their family in order
to cause any such person to move
to another State, and for other
purposes.
Section (a) reads: mo person
shall make a gift of tickets, money,
or credit for transportation or
transportation to any unemployed
person who is eighteen years Of
age or older or to the wife or
child of any such person to move
from the State in which he re-
sides to any other State in order
to be employed there, unless at

a., IlOILs
Stated Humphrey: "Mr. Presi,
dent, it gives me the greatest
pleasure to be able to stand here
in the Senate of the United States
to speak in support of the confirm
alton of the nomination of Judge
Thurgood Marshall of the Second
Circuit Court of Appeals.
II believe that President Ken
nedy made an outstanding choice
in nominating Thurgood Marshall
to this distinguished position.
''Thurgood Marshall brings to
the court the qualities which we
look for in a judge. First of all,
he has a truly superb record as a
lawyer. He is thoroughly exper-
fenced as a trial lawyer as well
as having practiced before many
appellate courts including the
Supreme Court of the United
States.
Few, if any, lawyers have
achieved such great success before
our highest Court. Thurgood Mar
shall argued 80 cases before the
Supreme Court and won all but 8.
Even his staunchest opponents
grudgingly admit to his profess
sional ability as one of Americas
outstanding lawyers.
Thurgood Marshall is a man
who possesses a proper judicial
temperament. His conduct through
the years in and out of the court
rooms attests to this, as does his
conduct during the protracted
hearings this year before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee.
And Thurgood Marshall has
another outstanding quality that
one looks for and expects in a
judge. I speak of his integrity and
sense Of justice and fair play. No
person involved in a case pend
ing before the circuit court on
which Judge Marshall sits need
have any doubt that he will make
his judgment on anything other
than the facts and on the dictates
of the law. Having been privileged
to know Thurgood Marshall, and
being honored to be able to call
him a friend, I know that his
Judgment will not be swayed or
distorted by his own personal be-
liefs. Thurgood Marshall will act
in a calm, judicious, and objective
manner.
And last but not least, Mr.,
President, Thurgood Marshall is a
great American, a patriot in the
noblest sense Of the word, a man
devoted to the Constitution as a
living, breathing document, de-
signed to assure the freedom and
equality of all Americans. He has
a love for his country and for a
system of law based upon the
principle that all men are to be
treated equally and fairly before
the bar Of justice.
These are the qualities Thur
good Marshall possesses. These are
the qualities which we as Mem
bers Of the Senate admire as the
requisites Of a good judge.
II commend our President for
making this outstanding appoint

ninth and most important defense
Of the championship?
Well, first of all, I am a realist
and sentiment plays no part in my
evaluation Of the two men.
Secondly my opinion is based on
a number of factors and my ex-
perience as a fight observer. These
are the factors:
Patterson, to my mind, has
never fought a fighter Of Lis
tons type and calIbre.
Ingemar Johansson, to whom he
lost, and then from whom he re-
gained the title while rewriting
boxing history, constitutes Patter-
sons only legitimate ring test
since he became champion six
years ago. The others have been
virtual pushovers.
They include Tommy "Hurri-
cane" Jacksn, regarded as q
"television Snowman" at best;
Pete Rademacher, an amateur
turned pro for his title fight; the
almost harmless Roy Harris; Brion
London, the British heavyweight
who was an easy target for Pat
terson, and Tom McNeeley, who
did not belong in the same ring
with Floyd.
Archie Moore, whom Patter-
son knocked out to win the title
on Nov. so, 1856, was an old
man, by boxing standards, whose
open" bOb-And-weave style was
made to order for Floyd.
This type Of competition did
little to prepare Patterson for the
type of opposition which Lston
will provide. Even Patterson ad-
mitted that he expects the Lston
fight to be 1.-The hardest of my
career"
Now the question has been
asked: who has Lston fought"
Of such outstanding calibre? Lis
ton, It was pointed out, has never
fought the dangerous Johansson.
On face value, such statements
seem to indicate that Lston, too,
has lacked top flight competition.
This, however, Is not truly the
case.
For the past five years, except
for the period when he was sus-
pended for his sldrInishes with the
law, Sonny has been the No. 1 con-
tender on merit. To gain that
ranking, he fought the best that
were available and willing to do
battle with him. He has bombed
out boxers as well as punchers.
His victims include Fora Foley,
a classy boxer-puncher; Eddie
Machen, one Of the best heavy
weights, despite his upset at the
hands of Johansson; Cleveland
williams, a dangerous puncher;
Nino Valdez, Willie Bessinoff and
Roy Harris. He is unbeaten since
1854, when he lost his only pro
fight on decision to Marty Mar
shall, a loss which he later re-
versed. HIS overall pro record
shows 50 wins and / defeat.

men even from Minnesota to Congress who believe
In full equality for all Americans Is an important
contribution to the day. when the United States
will have no apologies to make this score. Their
vote may easily be q deciding factor in a number
of elections contests this year This Is the reason
why this newspaper urges every member Of the
group to register SO that they may vote in Novem-
Der.
This newspaper has no patience and little re-
spect for any Minnesota Negro who does not vote,
in the elections held in the city and state This feel
ing Is strengthened and compounded by the fact
that scarcely 300 miles from this state Negroes
have been shot and killed for attempting to vote
Thousands do not dare attempt even to register
In the November elections the vote Of every
citizen In this state will have great value matter
who 1t Is cast for because we have stated before
many Of the election contests are expected to be
close.
Twin City Negro community leadership should
occupy the next few weeks in urging every citizen
to register in order to be eligible to vote In addition
every effort should be made to search out the
records and backgrounds Of candidates for office
to learn as much az possible how they feel for
example such issues fair housing, civil rights and

lily.
