COMMITTEE HEARING (Continued on page four) ment which said: "Gentlemen, I refuse to an– swer any questions of this com– mittee and I wish to explain why. You are attempting to in– vestigate in a field in which you are forbidden to legislate by the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which is made ap– plicable to the states by the Four– teenth Amendment. "You have not shown me the possible pertinency of this ques– tion to any possible legislation. Instead, a study of your previous hearings convinces me that the sole purpose of this hearing is to discredit me and others working for civil rights and racial inte– gration. This is part of the har– assment to which I have been subjected for many years because of my stand for civil rights and civil liberties. "You also seek to punish me for organizing opposition to this committee and to the House Com– mittee on Un-American Activi· ties. Your intent is indicated by the fact that your chief investi– gator subpoenaed me while I was cnticizing your activities at a public meeting of integrationists. "I have pending in the United States Supreme Court an appeal by me involving these very points, and I do not feel that I should testify regarding these matters while they are under ju– dicial consideration. This was call– to to the attention of your chair– man when I asked for postpone– ment of my appearance here. "I join other victims of this committee in declaring that you are trying to hamper our work for integration under the pretext of looking for subversives. I re· fuse to cooperate in such an en· deavor because it violates my conscience, my religious prin– ciples, and my constitutional rights. In other words, gentlemen, my beliefs and my associations are none of the business of this com– mittee." The committee indicated that it did not plan any action against Braden because of his defiance of it. CLASSIFIED§ FOUR ROOM APARTMENT For rent; range and refrigerator; $40; Hartley Realty, AT 2-7283.

Wil· Iiams Real Estate, AT 4-3852. by Warney Brenning Recreation Director This has been the greatest year for Knott Street Center boxers, as 14 champions were crowned out of 30 championships offered in the Tacoma, Portland, and Se– attle Golden Gloves. Herb Le· suer, ex-Knott Center boxer, who boxes for Fort Lewis, also won two championships so you could say that Knott Street Center had 16 championships this year. Triple Bantamweight Champion was Johnny Howard; Art Gil· more, Knott Center reavyweight from Oregon State, won three championships; Pete Gonzales won two championships; Wade Smith won two crowns and Jodie Harris, Eddie Ritchey, H. C. Massey and Seymon Patterson all won one championship.

The new Knott Center's fil·st boxing show swung into action last Wednesday, as an enthusias· tic audience of parents and friends really enjoyed the ac– tion of the boys who boxed in the 60-pound novice champion– ships.

You better know it, too. For "Sugar Ray" who gave the Brut– ish Bull with the indescribable amateurish style, if you can call it a style, a terrific boxing les– son, last December, but they called it a draw. Sugar Ray was getting hit with looping over· hand right-not shot or accurate, but from far out in left field. This is a punch which "Sweet Sugar" Ray ducked or blocked in his Dec. fight with the dauntless, crude little Bull from Utah. fight the winner of the Fullmer– Paul Pender, championship fight that will be held next June. And, if the fight is held on the Ea3t Coast, "Sugar" Ray will get the win. "Sugar" Ray at 40 years old, is still one of, if not the best, middleweight in the world. * * * It's too bad about the postpone– ment of our local pride, Thad Spencer, first main event fight March 9. Maybe Thad will fight in San Francisco, the city by the Golden Gate (My Town), in a few weeks. Keep in top shape, Spencer, you'll get the chance soon, and I know you will do good. * Big, hard-hitting Eddie Machen, the No. 2 heavyweight in the world, will fight Mike DeJolui, in San Francisco Cow Palace, April 10???

The Patter– son-Johansson heavyweight cham– pfonship fight, 7:00 p. m., Mon– day, March 13. * * * The fight started off with the "Fabulous boxing master" thread– ing the needle with well placed rights and lefts, that popped off "The Bull's" kisser like rain drops off a tin roof. One whist– ling right sliced open a cut alongside the "Bull's" left eye, a·nd he was a pretty sorry look– ing mess. At the end of the sec– ond round, in the nest session, "Sugar" Ray was socking sweet and accurate with jabs and hooks and out of left field came his "downfall." A wild overland right, Robby's left foot went out from under him and he swayed back from the fence of the blow.

Also the Bull was using rabbit punch– es, and was hitting after the bell, hitting low, and on top of the head. Sugar Ray has lost three out of his four last title bouts, with one draw, and if he fought the "Bull" again this year, I would still pick him for a KO. This fight last Sat. should have been a draw. * * * The boo-boo of the big fight last week was the announcer that bave the announcement of the winner in such a way that TV viewers thought "Sugar" Ray had at least won one judge's de– cision. There was no sum-up statement, until one judge climb– ed into the ring to point out the omission. Then the announcer returned to the mike to report that Fullmer was the unanimous winner and still champion. * "' * Talking to Jimmy "Bang-Bang" Walker, the Northwest light– weight boxing champion, "Bang– Bang" believes "Sugar" Ray, will CLIFFORD J.
