feals as a pioneer in northland
; 1 iy in g and especially his exploratory
: work dene in connection with
j glacier and mountain flying in and
; over the Chugach and Wrangell

Truman Is
Going to
Get Tough
(Continued from Pajie One)
rolls involved in tax difficulties
with the government, long before
such charges were made by the
House Ways and Means subcom
mittee investigating the tax scand
als.
Caudle’s resignation would have
been asked even without the com
mittee's intervention, the President
added.
A reporter expressed surprise at
this, recalling that McGrath, who
was Caudle's boss, told the House
investigators only last Tuesday that
he personally never had any sus
picions against Caudle.
■Mr. Truman replied crisply that
he doesn't keep the books for At
torney General.
The President was asked if Mc
Kinney had been correct in telling
reporters earlier this week that the
President feels he has been “sold
down the river" by federal employ
ees who have proved faithless to
their trust.
Well, who wouldn't feel that way?
the President said.
He went on to say that he has
been a firm fighter for clean gov
ernment ever since his first election
to public office in 1922.
He declined to say what sort of
special agency he might set up to
police the federal service.
Told there were reports that
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
might head such a body, Mr. Tru
man would not comment.
Pressed as to when he would act,
Mr. Truman told the reporters to
have a little patience—that they
would learn something later in the
week.
He said that if he does set up
such a body it will be his own
kind of committee and not one pat
terned after some special govern
ment units that have been set up
in the past.

Decision
For Charles i
i
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13—JP»— !
Former heavyweight champion Ez-:
zard Charles has finally convinced i
light heavyweight title holder Joey |
Maxim, after five beatings, that it!
is a hopeless cause to challenge
him.
Charles, who confidently expects
to punch the crown off Jersey Joe
Walcott’s head in their return fight
early next year, dashed Maxim’s
hopes for a successful foray into the
heavier division at the Cow Palace
lost night.
The lean Cincinnati Negro out
punched the 175 pound king to win
an unanimous 12 round decision
handily.
There were no knockdowns and
not much sustained action. Neither
was damaged or even in trouble.
The crowd of 10,827 booed at times
in dull moments when Maxim en
gaged in his frequent clinches.
Charles weighed 190, heaviest of
his career; Maxim 178.
Gross receipts were $60,886.25, the
net was $48,000, plus $25,000 from
television, for a $63,000 total.
Charles took 35 percent of that;
Maxim 27' - percent and the Chron
icle Christmas Fund for needy
children, 10 percent.
