Louis knew hungry child hood, early disappointment and heartache, bitter defeat at the height of hig fame, but these ex periences molded the champion in to a man ag well as an athlete. He has become an American institution : Not only has he held champ- | lonship longer than any boxer since the days of John L. Sullivan, but whether winning or losing. In peace and in war, he has said and done the right thing at the right time. The qquiokly terminated Camera bout, the defat of courag eous Max Baer, the furiouB fight of Louig and Schmeling, the quick decisive defeat of Lewis, Galento, Buddy Baer and Nova, the close battle with Billy Conn are all fabt and colorfully described. Determ ined to clear the prize fighting ring of any tinge of rowdyi9m, Louis has taken good sportsmanship ag a ser ious duty. Now that he hag been released from the Army, the attention of the country is centered upon Louie as a leader of hi9 people.

According to the citation, his services to the Army "ntailed considerable risk to his boxing future as the champion heavyw-eight of the world, but he willingly volunteered such action rather than disappoint the soldiers who desired to see him in the ring” Margery Miller, the author, saw her first championship prize fight at Ine age of fifteen—the dramatic second Louis-Schmeling bout. Since then she haB avidly followed every major heavyweight fighter, either from the ringgide or through the newspapers. As a student at Wel lesley College, from which she yas graduated with honor8 last May, she spent her weekends at the ring gide In Boston, where the boxing enthugiastg soon accepted her as one of their own. This friendship with the insiders of the fight world stood her in good stead in writing JOE LOUIS: AMERICAN. In New York she hag been receiving much publicity for her complete and hon est picture of the champ. The New York Times has published a long interview with her, and the Daily Mirror a feature article. She hag told Louis’s story simply, clearly, and directly, for she real izes that Joe’g life has been one of those rare storieg which words can tell but not improve. Ita publica tion is a fine tribute to Louis both as a gportsman and as a noble Am erican. MARYLAND NAVAL CENTER SEGREGATES VISITORS, NAACP TELLS SECRETARY FORRESTAL Washington.

This is not merely a friendly gesture. Each Ttian makes a careful visual in spection of the other's train while it passes. Then he signals that all is well ■or that he has spotted some defect.

All Union Pacific trains are thoroughly in spected before leaving terminal points ... all station agents check each train as it passes. Even track crews, along the right of way, are alert to spot any sign of trouble.

At the entrance to the grounds, all visitors had to leave their automobiles. They pro ceeded inside with other visitors to a large auditorium, where the boys were lined with alphabetical init ials. As the seamen were joined by their respective guests, they left the auditorium and went out on the grounds. “Upon inquiry, Mr. and Mrs. Blank were advised that if Blank was colored, they would have to go back of the entrance and take a bus to the drill hall. They did so. Upon arrival, they found all of the colored congregated together with out any particular order, waiting for their visitors- As the visitors arrived, they took them to various places inside the hall, wherever space could be found. Several tiin es during the afternoon loudspeak ers announced that the colored boys were not allowed to leave the hall. During all of thig time, the white' boys were strolling around the1 grounds with their visitors. Guards were there to prevent the colored boys from leaving the hall.

FREEDOM ASKED FOR FORT LAWTON SOLDIERS Washington, DC.,_On October 27 the NAACP filed a petition for clemency with the Secretary of War on behalf of 27 Negro soldiers con victed of rioting at Ft.

MINIMUM WAGE DILI, GETS NAACP SUPPORT Washington, DC.,_Leslie Perry of the NAACP Washington Bureau testified Nov. 1 before the House Labor Committee in support of the Pepper-Hook 65c minimum wage bill. Thig legislation >vould raise the minimum wage of all unskilled laborers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 193S from 40c an hour to 65c. After two years the minimum would automatically be raised to 75c hourly. Moreover, a minimum wage would be extended to groups now denied wage pro tection, namely, persons employed in packing, canning and processing agricultural and fish products for shipping in interstate commerce. Although indorsing the principle of the legislation, the NAACP said that an amendment was needed to protect Negro workers from wage differentials based solely on race. Under the bill industry committees made up of representatives of man- ! agement. labor and the public are empowered to raise the minimum wage to 75c even before two years have elapsed, if it finds that the i industry in question can afford to do so. It is also authorized to classify all employees in the indus try.

So, just as a surgeon finds it necessary to open the abdo men to find the exact cause of th: symptoms and so bring about a cure, so does the psychi atrist find it necessary to go down deep into the conscious and unconscious self of the patient to find the cause of the mental twist or notion that prevents the pa tient from being like, and living with, normal people.
