Basie Opens in Los Angeles, Cal Word received from Preston Love, Count Basie and members of his band say that they suffered the loss of many valuable pieces! of clothing and other belongings on the baggage car of their train ! enroute to Denver after their | weeks’ engagement in Omaha. Mr. Love stated that he and his wife Betty, lost practically all of their effects. Count Basie, the ‘'Jump King of Swing”, will again set prece dent when he becomes the first Negro band to play the popular Avodon Ballroom in Los Angeles. The Count goes into the Avodon on December 10 for four weeks. The Avodon’s signing of the Ba sie band breaks down the spot's previously established policy of hiring white bands only, with Ba sie accepting the Avodon booking over similar offers from the Tri anon Ballroom in South Gate and Meadowbrook Gardens in Culver City, both of which he had played in his previous California sojourns. The Count and his bandsmen currently hold forth on stage of the Lincoln Theatre in Los An geles where they opened a week’s engagement on October 15 for the initial Basie appearance of 1946 on the Pacific coast. The Basie aggregation moves to San Fran cisco on October 23 for a week at the Golden Gate Theatre and then plays a series of California one niters before returning to Los Angeles to open November 12 at the Million Dollar Theatre.

The Bureau reports that a scheme has sprung up whereby solicitors ask housewives to give clothes for the needy of Europe. The unsuspec ting housewife, familiar with the unhappy plight of many Europ ean countries, gives all her old clothing to the solicitor, who has created the impression that his is a civic project to clothe the needy whereas it is really nothing more or less than the old clothes busin ess. Promoters of this business readily admit that collectors are authorized to pay for the cloth ing which they receive. Upon ob taining the clothing, the operator promptly sells it to a New York pool and it is then taken abroad and sold in Europe to everyone who has money to pay the price. There is nothing illegal in the sale of the clothes, but solicitors have frequently obtained them under false ipretenses from the house wife who thinks she is donating to charity. Collectors for these drives usual ly infer'that it is a part of some local or nation-wide effort to charity. This should be a warning to the contributor, because a gen uine non profit collection is usu ally heralded with considerable publicity and it is not solicited from door to door. Usually com plete information is given in a bona fide drive as to where the garmests are to be taken. So to be sure you are really giving your clothing to a charitable organi ation, if you have any doubts at all, get free and impartial infor mation from the Better Business Bureau. SUGAR RAY MAY GET CROWN FOR XMAS PRESENT NEW YORK CITY (CNS) — "Uncrowned” welterweight king Ray Robinson, may knock out his iinx along with his opponent when he climbs into the ring at Madi son Square Garden to face Tomm' Bell on the night of December 20 next. Sugar Ray, who has been getting the run-around right out in the open for a long time has been matched with the Youngs town. Ohio welter for a fifteen round go that will decide who is to reign over the division in which there has been more confusion than there is in Truman's cabin et. Actually everybody believes that Robinson is the best in his and a couple of other weights, but Ray couldn't get official recog nition because Marty Servo could not even wait until he got in the ring to show how scared he was. Finally Servo addicated and be cause there is a rule that title cannot change heads except in a ring. Ray will have to knock Bells block off to rightfully claim the title. Even though the bout will come off iust a few days before the holiday of peace and good cheer, it is expected that Sugar will be in a murderous mood and Bell in for an uncomfortable session un less he is the better man. Know ing what Robinson desires most for Christmas and wishing to in clude Bell in on our lists of per sons to whom we express greet ings, we wish him a Merry Christ mas now while he can hear and appreciate it. * For Greater Coverage ADVERTISE in the Guide ROXBOROUGH IS OUT UNLESS RULES CHANGED DETROIT (CNS)—Second-gues sers who have spent many months during the last two years wonder ing what John Roxborough would do about piloting heavyweight champ Joe Louis wen he emerged from the “pokie” where he was filed away for doing naughty things with arithmetic, can put away their little game now. for Roxborough is on the scene and will supply the answer in a short while. According to Joe, unoffici ally, there has never been and will never be any manager other than the genial Detroiter. There has always been a strong bond between Lousi and Roxbor ough, and no one believed for a moment that Joe could dismiss him because he cut on illegal figure or two where the law says he should not.

Though the fighting war is over USO must continue to serve men and women in the Army and Navy through 1947. Above, at Augusta, Georgia, a USO-YWCA hostess. Miss Jessie Walker, encourages Pfc.

Joe Louis Supports USO Appeal USO national headquarters has just released a statement from champion Joe Louis in which he gives his support to the current $19,000,000 appeal. The statement reads: “I’ve had many big fights in the ring and I’ve won. But there is a fight that cannot be won alone That’s the fight that every Ameri can must make to preserve the peace and to build a better world. We must all get in the fight to gether to keep the USO going for our boys still in service.

In cities where USO is not included in the Chests, and throughout rural sections of the country USO is conducting its own fund-raising campaigns. gUBgMORMIMIMHMMMMMMnMNmmilHNnMMMNNNMItniUMHIIIimilll imihuHIM* it is expected that some of the talk about the part Mike Jacobs plays in Joe’s life will be clarified. For a while, some of the less trusting of the fight fans said right out loud that Uncle Mike was the champ's boss. The guys who seem to be in the know answered right back and said that Uncle Mike was the boss even when Roxbor ough was out in front. They also said you don’t get far with your fighter unless you cut Mike in, and other mean things like that.' Anyhow, Roxborough is out and ready to go into action for the best interests of Joe Louis. Whether he can or not depends upon the rule which is law in some states, that a person with a blemish on his record, such as gambling, cannot operate in the fight bus iness. Joe wants him and so do most of the fans who know what a good job he has done for the champ. JOHN GATES TO SPEAK AT COMMUNIST MEETING John Gates of New York City veterans’ director of the Commu nist Party will be the guest speak er at the 27th anniversary meet ing of the American Communist Party in Omaha. He will speak on “Twenty-Nine Years of the Soviet Sails To Pioneer Boys’ Wcrk in India NEW YORK—A boyhood dream of directing educational programs among the youth of India was be ing realized today by Lawrence C. Burr now aboard the the S. S. Vul cania on his way to a YMCA World Service post in the pro vince of Madras. Burr, formerly attached to the Wabash Ave. YMCA in Chicago, sailed out of New York City last Friday with his wife Midrded. a former high school teacher and social worker. First Negro secretary in YMCA history ever to be assigned to work in India's provinces by the Inter national Committee of the YMCA. Burr will remain away at least 5 years during which time he will virtually pioneer in the teaching of boy’s work techniques among Indian youths of high school le vel. Interviewed a few hours before he and his wife went up the gang plank. Burr disclosed that the trip was the culmination of a dream that had its beginning during his high school years in Muskogee, Okla., he said. The idea of going abroad as an educational worker struck me in my teen-age years. As a result I shaped my entire educational pro gram along lines designed to guide me into such a field. That ambi tion is now being fulfilled. I believe that the type of boy’s work I am going to institute will take root and make some contributor to the advancement of the people in In dia". As its'start, he said, his assign ment will be to establish a stand ard YMCA program among boys of high school age. Once this de monstration has proved successful he will then lower the age level to include youngsters of elementary school age.
