CHAMPION CHARLES
STOPS OMA IN 10TH;
REFEREE STOPS BOUT
(By Murray Rose)
NEW YORK, Jan. 13—IJ’i—"I'll
keep on fighting md I'll keep on
winning and then maybe people
will give me full recognition as
champion.”
Puzzled and somewhat bitter Ez
zard Charles, heavyweight champ
on of the world, made the state
ment shortly after he had stopped
veteran Lee Oma of Buffalo in
1:19 of the 10th round of (heir 15
round title bout in Madison Square
Garden last night.
"Maybe I'll show 'em more the
next time,” said the Cincinnati
Negro.
The next time is gob-g to be
late February or e: '-y March
against Jersey Joe V.’alcott in De
troit, Miami or St. Louis. All that
is expected to be ironed out today
at a conference at the Internation
al Boxing Club. Charles won hi
crown by whipping Jersey Joe in
Chicago June 22, 1949.
Right now Charles is running
ahead of Joe Louis’ record tinr
schedule. His defeat of the 34
year-old Oma was his sixth de
fense of the Crown. That leave
Ezzy six down and 19 to go to tie
the old Biown Bomber.
Five of his title defenses were
won by knockout or technic-1
knockouts and his triumph over
Oma was almost according to the
script. He methodically wore down
his playboy rival with searing bodv
punches and Oma “ran out of vas
as predicted. It could be that Oma,
arm-weary by the 10th, decided 1
was going to take no more punch!
than necessary.
Referee Ruby Goldstein halted
the often bullish bout with Oma
still on his feet—he was never
knocked down during the evenin ■
—but reeling around the ring from
a barrage of punishing lefts and ■
rights to the head Oma was on I
the verge of a knockdown when
Goldstein stepped in.
The odds w'ere fully justified al
though Oma nut up a better exhi
bition than figured. Charles, who
was outweighed 185 to 193. was a
1 to 6 favorite to win and a 1 to 2
choice to stop his foe.
Yet, despite the victory, Charles
felt disturbed and disillusioned by
the boos and catcalls that came
from many of the 11,504 paying
fans. The booing was provoked by
low blows, punches that cost Ezzy
the fifth and eighth rounds.
Of the low blows that cost him
two rounds—the fifth and eighth
and were responsible for much of
'he. booing, Charles said "Oma ear
lies his hands low and my punches
kept glancing off. I don’t think
they hurt him.”
All-Out War Before
End of Year Looked
For by Wainwrigh!
PETTUo, Tex.. .T-u. 13—/PI—Gen.
Jonathan M. Wainwright (Ret) saic
he looks for all out war before the
end of 1951.
Speaking at a banquet here yes
terday, the hero of Bataan said he ]
believes Russian armies are now
gathering to attack Germany as
soon as possible and that he expects
the attack this spring when the
weather is favorable.
Wainwright‘also said he thinks
the Russians have unlimited forces
in Manchuria ready to pour into
Alaska at the bidding of the Krem
lin forces. This attack, he said,
could be expected after the invasion
of Allied sections of Germany.
The General said he thinks the
U.S. is in a bad situation this time
because of lack of preparation and
that we are actually at war already.
The National Geographic Society
says fossils indicate there were at
least three kinds of giant sea rep
tiles 80,000,000 years ago.
Germany pioneered in the con
version of lignite into gas before
World War II.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
January 17, 1706 (Old Style—Jan. 6)
April 17, 1790
A GREAT AMERICAN
Benjamin Franklin, man of letters, statesman, philosopher, scientist, publisher and printer;
he made a profound contribution to the society of his day. At a time when bigotry, witch
craft, and intolerance were the order of the day, he brought a refreshing breath of inde
pendence in thought, initiative in action, and universality in understanding. With unbound
ed energy he
founded a Great Industry
From an humble beginning he mastered
the art of printing as it was known in
his day. With equipment that was pri
mitive by comparison with today's
technical advances, he used the hand
powered press, wood cuts and hand-set
type, to create masterpieces of the
Graphic Arts which have securely
placed his name in the hall of fame. A
distinguishing mark of the work of this
man was his devotion to his fellow
man. The great industry which he
founded was, in reality, created
for a Great People1
That those who inherit the freedoms so dearly bought by the Founding Fathers are a great
people will not be denied. Not by those who hold dear liberty of life, freedom of assembly
and of the press. It is this freedom of the press which has been a primary factor in the
development of an economic system from which has come more enjoyment and comfort
than the human race has ever before experienced.
So Now We Observe National Printing Week
Thus we observe the week of January 14th to
January 20th as “NATIONAL PRINTING
WEEK”. The group of men and women asso
ciated with the publishers of this message listed

confidence in the future of Alaska and of Juneau,
and of their sense of responsibility for render
ing a competent and adequate service.
It is their feeling that the city of Juneau is
well provided with services adequate for the
needs of this business community. And, in ob
servance of “NATIONAL PRINTING WEEK”,
it is their determination to “Get the Job Done
in Nineteen Fifty-One” to the satisfaction of
business firms and public agencies of this com
munity.
A final word should relate to those who are
encratred in ccivintr you a printed record of the
news of the day and to the newsboy carriers
who bring your daily and Sunday papers to
your homes. All share in the knowledge that
theirs is a vital part in the life of America.
All work to make Juneau and Alaska a better
place in which to live.
