National Guard is now looking for new
ways to serve the nation.
National Guard leaders are convinced
that the recovery mission is not only a
vital one, in the light of present world
tensions, but also one which the Guard
can fulfill without negating its combat
role. They point out that after a nu¬
clear holocaust, no nation will be able
to commit itself completely to ground ac¬
tion until it has recovered from the shock
at home. This includes restoring or¬
der, caring for the wounded, re-establish¬
ing communications, restoring order and
opening up roads.
Here is where the National Guard comes
in. Being dispersed throughout the na¬
tion, it will be able to withstand the
atomic shock without crippling losses.
Having highly trained, well-equipped
units in 2600 communities, it is the logi¬
cal force to assist in such a recovery op¬
eration in every area. It has the planes,
tanks, trucks, ambulances, hospital equip¬
ment and just plain manpower to do the
job.
The recovery plan makes sense and the
desire to carry it out is laudable.
It serves to remind us that the National
Guard system is just as vital on Inde¬
pendence Day 1960 as it was in 1776.

Patterson Won Over Tremendous
Odds; Win Exposes Unfair Press
By Charles ./. Lhrtv&itm for ANi’
Floyd Patterson last week ac-
eomplished two outstanding feats
while becoming the first fighter
ever to regain the heavyweight
championship of the world. He
not only decisively trounced In-
gemar Johansson, the man who
took the crown away from him
a year ago, but he also exploded
the myth of invincibility woven
around the Swede by an appar¬
ently bias daily press.

champion, incduding’' 4 iWNtepopvilar
Ezzard Charles, ever faced a more
hostile press. Not only was Floyd
characterized as an obscure and
powerless fighter, but for a full
week before the rematch with Jo¬
hansson, the daily press waged
what appeared to be an unre¬
lenting campaign against him.
Johansson, on the other hand,
was pictured as the epitome of
greatness. Such phrases as “The
Thor of Thunders" and “Hammer
of Thor” were used to describe his
prowess and one sports editor
headlined a pre-fight story of the
rematch as follows: “Ingo the Ini

This walking-the-next-day-for-

talization. There may not be any
connection; and then there may
be. We cannot help being suspi¬
cious. The ways of imposing on
the public are legions. !

sands of sports fans were led to
believe that Johansson was match¬
less.
So thorough was the brainwash¬
ing that Major Robinson, ANP
New York correspondent, reported
that even in Harlem Ingemar was
a more popular fighter than Pat-
terson. Even some segment of the
Negro press unwittingly followed
the campaign and discredited
Floyd’s chances of regaining the
title,
This writer has in the past been
critical of the way Patterson was
managed by his querulous man¬
ager,, ,Cus D’Aniato. But there was

ability sidered as a fighter. I never con¬
him a lesser fighter than
■lohiinsson and favored him to win
tWA rematch. Carelessness, I
fhd&fi’ht, was the reason for his
defeat last year.
The campaign against Patterson
by the daily press was enough to
unnerve any fighter. And that
was the only cause for concern
in thj^ quarter.
Meanwhile, his opponent fell vic¬
tim to every campaign that was
designed to aid him. Unaccus¬
tomed to the excess of American
fight commentary, Ingemar lulled
himself into believing he was un-
beatable. His very manner upon
the ring supported this,

ute and 51 seconds of the fifth
round regained his most cherished
title.
Patterson fought with a vicious¬
ness not seen in the ring since the
heyday of Joe Louis. From the
outset he bombarded his opponent
i with jabs, hooks and right crosses,
j never giving him a chance to
j throw his celebrated right,
i Perhaps the explosion repre-
sented all the pent-up emotion the
ex-champion carried within him
since his defeat by Johansson.
j During that period he not only
| failed to gain the support of the
press, but he experienced one
frustration after another. These
included frequent breakdown in
negotiations for the rematch, in¬
vestigations into the terms of the
first bout and finally suspension
i of D’Aniato, whom he regards with
I fatherly devotion. And all the
j while, Johansson was having a
, wonderful time basking in the
- wake of his new-found publicity
and enjoying all the other prince¬
ly privileges of being a white
heavyweight champion.
The resentment was aired by
Patterson during a pre-fight in¬
terview with a Negro editor. He
said he was appalled the American
magazine Boxing and Wrestling
had said that “the best thing that
could happen to boxing would be
for Johansson to beat me.” Pat¬
j terson felt that his own fellow
j countrymen had turned their backs
I on him.
, One thing was certain last week,
though. While whites suffered
from the conflict of being torn
between patriotism (Americanism)
and dedication to race, Negroes
at large experienced no such dis¬
comfiture. They simply wanted

could be completely disrupted
if investigative hearings were
transformed into trial-like pro¬
ceedings.”
Actually, the Supreme Court
was merely reaffirming legally
a right of procedure long in
use by federal .administrative
agencies.
The ruling paves the way for
the Civil Rights Commission to
resume hearings in Louisiana
and to compel voting registrars
to produce records, without, it
is important, disclosing the
names of the complainants
seeking to secure the constitu¬
tional right to vote.
