that lie gained the reputation of
a man with a mean right hand.
He won all of his first eight
in Dallas by knockouts.
In New.York, lie became the
talk of the boxing world. He has
his own style of boxing; he is
classed neither as a slugger or a
boxer he just has a terrific l ight
hand with plenty of power# In
New York he ran up twelve con-
secutive knockouts. In 111 in he
became the world's lightweight
champion by defeating Lew Am-

In a title bout. Lew defeated

draft treaties.
Molotov has nut rejected the
idea dually. But he feels the
drafts should be completed first,
and has asked time to study the
Byrnes suggestion. Britain and
France are hacking the Ameri-
can proposal.
In other business of the day,
the ministers seemed to get no
closer to agreement on the Ital-
ian and Balkan treaties. And the
solid deadlock threatens to break
up the conference.
j Another stumbling block to
world unity is the situation in
i Palestine.
Arab leaders have decided to ]
go directly to Premier Stalin 1
with their complaint against An- ;
glo-American recommendations
for the Holy land. The Arab j
higher committee was in session j
tor four hours— trying to decide ,
what to do if lOO.(MM) Jews are I
admitted into Palestine. At the
conclusion of the session, the
committee said it would appeal
to Stalin for Russia aid to fight
the Anglo-American proposal.
The Arabs say they will defend
themselves and organize what
they call a "national struggle."
Russia figures prominent-
ly in still another Interna-
tional problem — this one
concerning Iran. And from
the way things look, I'-N se-
curity council members will
open their meeting in New
York this afternoon without
any offiical confirmation
that Red army troops have
cleared out of the country.

— Prince Firouz — says Premier

Interest has lieen mount-
ing daily as both teams

Eves still ask for more men,
while the .Mustangs try to
hurriedly heal various injur-
ies sustained among their

ing period.
The football traditional classic
will be played under the lights
| in the Mustang Bowl as the

of international fame, will
officiate on the field as ref-
eree in the football session
and as judge for the goal
kicking contest — an event
in which the mayor, the eit-
izen number one, and the

Use Air Transportation
MEW YORK (UP)—The New
York Yankees, by a vote of II to
have decided to do their base-
ball traveling by air.
Yankee President Larry Mac-
Phail says the club will make its
first trip in a 44-passenger, 1-
engine plane Monday when it
opens a western invasion in St.
Louis.
The Yanks will be the first
major league club to travel ex-
clusively by air. MacPhail says
that weather charts show that 9!)
per cent of all summer flights
can be completed without dif-
ficulty. Travel by plane makes
it possible for the Yankees to
be within four hours of any club
they meet. The average trip will
be two hours-.

British Prime Minister Attlee
has reversed an impression he \ high'
left with commons yesterday |
while discussing the situation in
Egypa. Today he told the house
that Dominion Prime Ministers
hav e voiced no opinions on Brit-
ain's proposal to withdraw
troops from Kgvpt.
Attlee says Dominion Minist-
ers have not agree on the plan.

Prime Minister had intimated

The Roscoe Plowboy band has

A and B bands.
A raffle affair will leave
some lucky spectators rich-
er by several pairs of nylon
hose, and another fortunate
individual will take home a
shotgun as a prize souvenir
with the compliments of the
athletic association.
A touch of humor will accom-
pany the serious business of

Congressmen are making a
careful study of the returns
from yesterday's primary elec-
tions in several states. In Ohio,
the CIO political action commit-
tee appears to have suffered a
setback — its candidate for the
democratic nomination for sen-
ator is running third, while in-
cumbent Senator James Huff-
man is far out in front. In Ala-
