A NEW CHAMPION

FLOYD PATTERSON has. lost his crown, and is no more
the heavyweight champion of the world. He was beaten by.
Sonny Liston in Chicago. To the great majority Of fight fans
this defeat comes hard. 1t is not taken lightly, for Patterson
was by far the sentimental favorite, and many were pulling
for him
BUT LISTON was too much. It was the old case of a
good big man against a good little man. Longer reach, taller
by several inches, heavier, and with abnormalIy large hands
Liston had all the physical advantages. Even with Pattersons
greater speed and superior boxing skill, the physical factors
were in too great disparity.
SONNY LISTON Unanswered Patterson into a fight be
cause the former Champion was too fercely proud and Jealous
Of his reputation. Sonnys board of strategy had circulated
the idea that Patterson was afraid, and no proud and indie.
pendent champion could allow this to continue. Therefore
the fight At fight time the odds were in favor of Lston
but sentiment was heavily in favor of Patterson.
NOWWHAT? Will Patterson return. There is, of course.
the usual return engagement within a certain time. In this
instance not later than September 1868, and no doubt Patter-
son will anxiously fulfill this term. Whether history will re-
peat itself is left to be seen. Sonny Liston>is no Ingemar To-
hansen, and the new champion is not likely to allow himself
to become overconfident.
FIGHT game is riddled with corruption. There are
few fighters, indeed, who have any voice whatever in their
own affairs, even to the extent of how they manage their mon
ey. And Sonny Liston almost did not get a fight because Of
having been involved III questionable relationships. After
shaking loose from this situation, LBton still found himself
mwanted until a priest took him in tow, and helped hin AT
The fight last night were three at his side. So serious was the
problem that New York State still does not recognize Lston
as a contender, and therefore the shift of the fight to Chicago.
THERE ARE doubts that the championship will maintain
the respect and admiration it did when Patterson held the
crown. What the future holds is to be seen. It is up to Liston

Capitol Mystery
Who Gets the Elegant Front Rooms?
BY ISABELLE SHELTON
star staff Writer

star starr Writer
: One of the closest guarded
secrets on Capitol Hill Is the
identity Of the four Senators
who will fall heir to the hand
some rooms in the new East
Front of the Capitol. which
had been set aside for Vice
President Lyndon johnson.
There is particular curiosity
about who will get the
enormous double-sized room
which was to have been the
Vice Presidents own office.
This comes complete with a
commodious Mushroom, tiled
shower and a built-in kitchen.
The Kitchen" a compact
six-foot all-steel stove-re-
frigerator-sink unit, is en-
cased in a handsome 10-foot-
long walnut breakfront cabi-
net, with folded double doors
that open out to give access
to the kitchen area.
"A two-foot cabinet on one
end contains shelves for food.
A matching cabinet on the
other end is for coats.
Beige carpeting has been
laid and brand-new plastic
shrouded furniture installed
in the other three rooms in
the former suite. But nowhere
is there a clue to the identity
OF the occupants-to-be.
. Installation of the break
front has delayed work on
the fourth room. Rolls of
rubber carpet padding were
piled at one end of the bare
cement floor late last week,
while two carpenters put the
finishing touches on the cab
met at the other end.
The washroom, with its
gray and white tile floor,
white tile walls, diversified
white tile washbowl, six glass
shelves. and a white tile
standup shower stall, is COM
pleted.

selected by Mrs. Lyndon
Johnson-already are hang

decided not to take the stra-
logically located gallery floor
suite, whose five arched win
dows extend across the Sen
ate side Of the new East
Front, after his wife had Sc
1ected the colors and the fur
niture.
The Vice President said he
preferred to keep his present
quarters in the old section
of the Capitol, which he had
as Majority Leader.

last December that the suite
would be divided into separate
rooms for four Senators.
AS is the case with almost
everything on Capitol Hill,
the assignments were to be
based chiefly on seniority,
with minor exceptions for
health reasons Senator
Mansfield said.
But this doesn't necessarily
mean the Senators with the
most seniority will elect to
pick up their franchise. The
senior solons all have hide
away offices in the Capitol
now. which some of them
may elect to keep.
The greatest advantage of
the Capitol hideaway office
(space given to a senior Sen
ator in addition to his Senate
Office Building suite) has al
ways been its privacy. The
labyrinthian corridors Of the
old Capitol building are pock-
marked with locked doors
which bear no sign of the
name of the occupant.
Because OF the spotlight of
interest on the new East
Front the advantage of pri-
vacy will be largely lost to the
solons who take the four
rooms originally earmarked
for the Vice President.

States Government. Wash
ington became the Capital in
fact as we'll as name.
But New York continued to
look down on Washington.
Articles emananted from the
Big City time and again that
belittled the little Potomac
community. bewailed its lack
OF culture and bemoaned its
dearth of night life.
Outlanders Are in Fog
Overlooking the great Lii
brary Of Congress, some of
the greatest art galleries in
the world, the learned science
and other institutes in Wash
ington. the articles usually
pointed to the lack of opera
and limitations here to indi-
cate how uncultured it's citi-
zens must be.
The Big City life of fiction
and frolic. fiction on the
stage and frolic afterward,
seemed unaware that there
was daily real life drama at
1900 Pennsylvania Avenue
and on Capitol Hill far more
exciting than anything on a
New York stage because it
didn't end with curtain time
but affected all our lives and
the lives of our descendants.
1t seemed unaware that
Washington society found
little reason for frequenting
nightclubs to rub elbows with
company representatives and
tourists when it could dine
several nights a week in ele-
CANT embassies and rub ell
bows with the men who are
running this country and in
fluencing the Free World.
So Manhattan maintained
its attitude of superiority and
sent out reams of column
material on what man-about-
town was twosing with what
film cutie, and what cafe
socialite was "cottoning up"
to what international .play-
boy. The world of glamour
was still presumed to be in
the lap of Broadway, Holly
wood and Ell Morocco.
Glamour Arrives
Then Mr.. and Mrs. John
F. Kennedy moved into the
White House and things be-
gan to change. Youth, beauty
ana glamour moved to the
seat of greatest power. New
York's nose began to get out
OF joint. 1t had not lost any
OF its culture. but it's glamour
was slipping.
Its stage and nightclubs
were still going strong, so
were Hollywood's, but there
wasn't anybody at any of
those places who could COM
pare with the pair in Wash
ington in looks, surroundings,
Importance, style-setting and
endless young and lively in
terests whether on a yacht

or a golf course, poised on
one ski or on TV, or as hosts
at a sensationally attractive
private party.
Almost overnight both j.
Kennedys accomplished what
no other President and First
Lady. however powerful, had
been able to do. They made
the political power capital
the real glamour capital of
the country.
This may we'll detract con-
siderably from interest in the
mountains of literature de-
voted to Manhattan and
moviedom. It may even de-
tract somewhat from the in
terest in Broadway and Hol-
lywood which have been con-
tinually whetted by such
literature. The spotlight is
now on Washington. and the
great concentration of ma
tional magazines on our city
during the past Is months is
only the first result of what
may be the beginning OF a
mammoth change for this
Government town on the
Potomac.
This writer is delighted to
see the interest shift from
New York cafe celebrity So
ciety to Washington, where
it should have been all along.
For if the definition of $50
ciety' is "the people who
count at play" Washington
society has been, is and
should be the most bona fide
one in the country.
1t is also a hopeful sign
that, instead of movie &C
tresses whose offstage activi-
ties frequently leave some
thing to be desired, the little
girls of the country are
choosing for their model

Senator Chavez of New

take one of the new offices.
Senators Russell of Georgia
and Mcclellan of Arkansas

seems to be leaning that
way. since he suggested a

he has one.

there are many who would
put press first in that line cup.

The other night he told
two presidential tales, one an
Abe Lincoln story that the
late Eugene Meyer got from
the late DR.. Finney of the
Well-known medical family
in Baltimore. DR.. Finney had
said that one day he was
called from Baltimore to see
President Lincoln who wasn't
feeling we'll. In the room
outside Lincoln's, he found a
diSgraceful mob of office
seekers and promotion seek
ers, civilians and soldiers all
milling around impatiently
waiting to see the President,
obviously to get something
out Of him-a condition that
couldn't happen in today's
White House.
Inside the next room he
found Lincoln sitting in soil
tary quiet. DR.. Finney was
reported to have examined
him and then reported, You

Then Mr.. Krock recalled
an example Of Woodrow Will

as "a lovely thing" It was
on the occasion of President
Wilson's first Gridiron Club
speech. He arose and looked
around him and said:
Gentlemen, I keep read
ing your writings with such
interest and a great deal of
surprise because they report
much friction in my admin
istration. Since I have not
felt any of this friction I
have decided that I must be

claimed that Smith came to his
home with the wound.
Smith was taken to Ancker Hos

Odetta Sings Blues In FOIksy
Soulful Style

Chicago (ANP) - Odetta is
known primarily as a folk singer
and actress, and both of these
qualities are noted on her recent
LIP for Riverside Records, "Odetta
and the Blues" although the fare
consists entirely of blues of the
past and present. How is this pos
sible?
Well, first of all, Odetta, who
prefers to be identified simply by
that word, sings the blues in an
appealing, folksy sort of a way.
You know she is singing the blues
but you also detect the folk quail
| ity that is so basically hers.
Secondly, she projects her in
nermost feelings so expertly on
these tracks that you know that
she is actually portraying - in
her singing - the sad and happy
events bound up in the songs. Over
and beyond this, Odetta is a
superb artist who stands out in
her class.
Her repertoire on this LIP con-
sists Of blues of the 192Os and the
sos, and what a fare 1t is! It
includes songs made famous by
past Queens of the Blues" such
as Bessie Smith ("Weeping Willow
Blues" and Nobody Knows You
When You're Down and Out") !;
Mama Yancey make Me A Pal
lett; Ma Rainey ("Yonder Come
the Blues"), and Ida Cox ("Hard,
Oh LordD. But the tunes are but
an adjunct to Odetta's fine per-
Torrance, which does justice to
the memory of Mesdames Smith,
Rainey, ct al. She phrases beauti-
fully on nobody -; is plain
tive on 90. Pallet" and is earthly
on FOUNDER E" Her interpreta-
ton and diction are outstanding
throughout.
All these qualities are also
identified in the other eight tunes,
including Believe I'll Co." "Oh,
Papa" How Long Blues" "Ho-
gan's Alley" "Leavin' This Morn
in'", "Oh, My Babe" and God
Down, Sunshine" Miss Odetta's
performance is enhanced consider
ably, also, by the backing she
receives from a sextet which in
cludes such artists as top trumpet
list Buck Clayton; trombonist Wet
Dickinson; clarinetist Herb Hall /;
pianist Dick Wellstood (who also
arranged the music); bassist
Ahmed Abdul-Malik, and drummer
"Shep" Shepherd.
