NEW YORK — Wilt Chamber-1
lain today accused pro basketball
referees of unfair officiating.
in a signed article in the new
issue of Look Magazine, the 7-
foot rookie star of the Phila-
phia Warriors declared: “The Nat¬
ional Basketball Association has
two standards of officiating: one
for the league as a whole, another
for me, Wilt Chamberlain.”
Chamberlain asserted that N.-
B. A. officials do not call fouls
committeed against him on the
same basis as they do for every¬
body else, particularly in their al¬
lowing other teams to use the ille¬
gal zone defense to guard him.
With the referees’ tacit permis¬
sion, opposing players are free to
“gang up” on him and maul him,
so that he is now forced to reta- I
liate, said Chamberlain.
"I intend to trade shove for
shove,” warned Chamberlain in j
the Look article, "if I have to blast
somebody into a balcony one of

he is entitled to the job under the I
seniority rule.” j
He also said that Powell hrs .1 a j

and civil rights. , i

“Regardless of what he says,
Randolph declared. Tin sure Mr. |
Powell is not a racist at heait. j
MEANY ATTACK *
UNFXPECTED j ■
Meany’s attack on Powell came
spontaneously and t....................:.....I overbalanced a ;
statement . , .... thnt ,x he was renewing ■
efforts to break down the one re-1
maining racial barrier in the AFL-
CIO. It is the Brotherhood of ho-
comotive Firemen.
Many fee! that Meany was ex¬
tremely injudicious in attacking
Powell. They fear that if Powell
is made chairman of the commit¬
tee, he may he influenced in his
judgments of Meany’s attack.
A greater threat, however, is
the possible rebirth of a Negro
labor council.
Meany has always opposed such |
an organization, fearing that it
contains the seeds of a “racist”
division with in the labor move¬
ment. He is especially fearful that
such an organization might fall I
under the control of “extremists”
and that an open rift might he
developed between white and
Negro workers. '
Labor Leaders in Harlem, how- \
ever, discount Meany’s fears. They i
point out that there are organi- \
zations of Jewish and Catholic;
workers and that these have pos -1
ed no threat to the unity of AFL-'
CIO. | !

these nights, I’ll do it.”
Pro basketball’s “hatchet men,”
who are assigned to guard him,
make the roughest collegians look
as if they're playing tag, said
Chamberlain. “They give you a
real beating.”
One the positive side of the
pro game, Chamberlain observed:
“i don’t hear the kind of stuff 1
took from opposing stands and
benches when 1 was at K. U. Sure,
they sa me plenty here, call me
'Olobeti otter,’ but it doesn’t go
beyond that.”
But unless the referees begin to
apply the rules the same for all,
said Chamberlain, “I’m not going
to develop my full scoring poten¬
tial and team value, and the War¬
riors are not going to beat out the
Boston Celtics for the Eastern di¬
visional championship of the N.-
B. A.”

The attacks began with the

northern newspapers, I
Powell, who has been In dls- 1
favor with many Southerners
because of his outspoken attitude
against racial injustices, was
branded in some circles as the
“most extreme racist” in Coh-
BEST PRO
PLAYER. "1 regard Bob Pettit as
the best. He can do everything.
In my book, only Baylor, Cousy
and Kenny Sears come close.”
BOB COUSY vs. GUY
RODGERS: I perfer to Cousy as
a ball handler arid passer, al-
though Guy can’t shoot with Bob.
BAYLOR: “It is strange hut
true that Baylor’s least impre. -
sive skill is his shooting. 1
mean he isn’t a great shot. But
even greater are the speed, spring,
maneuverability and cleverness
that get him into position, despite
the finest one-on-one guarding,
for a seemingly limitless variety
of shots, and that also draw the
foul tries he makes.
BILL RUSSELL AND BOSTON
CELTICS: “The only team
plays me with one man is the
Boston Celtics with Bill Ku ell.
They can do this because Rus <11
is the game's supreme defensive
gress.
Powell challenged any mem-
ber of congress to demonstrate
a more democratic non-racial
attitude than he does. Although
he represents a district which
is 90 percent colored and 90
percent Protestant, Powell says
that half of his Washington
staff is non-colored and half
are Roman Catholic.
Favors “Majority Rule”
If he were chairman of this
committee, the New York
•ressman said he would see
it that the majority ruled al-.
though it might sometime run
counter to his own beliefs. The
rule of seniority would be rig¬
idly followed although some of
senior members
the committee come from the
deep south.
Powell Is now chairman
the subcommittee on Mines and
Mining of the Committee on In-
terior and Insular Affairs. Since
. he was placed ...... in this position
he has not missed a
nor been late he said. And he
has earned the approval on
Floor of the Congress by Rep.
Wayne Aspinall, chairman of
the full committee. Both the
chairman and Rep. J. Saylor, the
ranking Republican member
commended Mr. Powell’s work
with the subcommittee in
speeches on the Floor last June.

RUSSIANS: “The Russians’ de¬

u formidably in the basketball
Olympics, if not this year, then
certainly by 1964. Although they
