The fair employment prac tices bill was struck another death blow last Wednesday when the Senate came up nine votes short of the 64 neces sary to invoke cloture on the motion to take up the FEPC measure.

Lydia Goolsby Wins Nursing Group Award Miss Lydia M.

J., at Providence hospital here June 11. The award is for the highest achievement in her nurs ing class during the past year. Norris himself pulled r*o -* » ■■*■*-**■ '• -vm punches as to why Louis would return after more than two years of retirement. This is Norris’ statement: “Louis got into his tax diffi culties a couple of years ago. His auditors and counsel advised him to make certain deductions and he did. The government dis allowed these deductions. So now lie owes the money. “The only way he can ever pay it and get straightened out is to fight again. “Certain propositions the champ went into haven’t turned out too well and so he hasn't the money to pay up. If the government doesn’t accept his offer, then there will be no way for him to make it up.” Asked to explain Joe’s offer to the government, Norris said, “He (Louis) has asked the government to accept whatever his purse would be for a Charles fight in full settlement of the govern ment’s claim. That would hold whether the purse amounted to more than what he owes or if it was less. “The government recently has shown some leniency in tax prob lems to athletes and others who make their money in a short pe riod of time and who are then placed in a very high tax bracket and can’t save money,” Norris added. At the same time, Norris dis pelled the idea that Louis owes the Internal Revenue department $58,000 in back income tax. “It’s more than that,” said Nov ris. Rev. Goofeby Is Lincoln Visitor The Rev.
