WINNER OF
(ARDELL 00
DETROIT, Feb. 1 —Ufi—Light
weight Champ Ike Williams, a busy
little bee except where title fight: .
are concerned, tucked a small pure:
cf $2.C80 in his wallet today as a
reminder of his one-sided bout with
young Vic Cordell last night.
A small turnout of 2,003 fans —
held down by a heavy snowstorm
paid a gross gate of only $4,404.39 at I
Olympia Stadium to see the champ
batter Cardell almost at will for t
ninth round TKO.
Cardell. his left eye closed and
his right eye cut, was unable to j
answer the bell for the ninth in
the scheduled 10-rounder.
Surprisingly enough, it was the:
vanquished Cardell who got the
plaudits of the crowd which saw
him tuKe everything Williams could
throw.
Williams sulking since the Na
tional Boxing A ociation threaten- ,
ed Saturday to take his title away
if he doesn't defend it by March
31, took out si .ne of his wrglh on
the luckless Cardell.
The 23-year-old Connecticutt
fighter, who had a tw’o pound ad
vantage, was a 4-1 underdog. Bct
’ing was 3-1 that he would not
,ast five rounds.

ROUNDUP OF
(AGE GAMES
NEW YORK, Feb. 1, —'JPl—Dr. F.
C. (Phog) Allen of Kansas is con
sidered the dean of American bas
ketball couches. The good doctor
has been mapping hoop strat^gj
since 1908 — 42 years and two world
wars ago.
During that time, Allen’s teams
have won 677 games while losing
only 195 for an amazing average
of .776.
This is Phog’s 34th year at Kansas,
lie's won six Missouri Valley titles
and 13 Big Six and Big Seven
championships for the Jayhawks.
But, ironically, Allen does not
own the best winning percentage in
the land. That honor goes to one|
of his prize students, Adolph Rupp;
of Kentucky. i
In 21 years at the Blue Grass i
institution, Rupp’s Wildcats have
piled up a 424-78 record for a .845
percentage.
Hank Iba of Oklahoma A & M
is second to Rupp in winning. At
Maryville Teachers and A & M,
Iba’s teams have built up an .801
percentage on 474 victories and 118
defeats.
Clair Bee, veteran coach at Long
Island University, also is believed
to have won 80 per cent of his
games, but no exact recoids ate
j available.
All four coaches are holding up
their lifetime averages with good
■ records this season. Kentucky has
16-1, Oklahoma A & M 18-1, LIU
, 16-3 and Kansas 11-3.
Twenty-third on the list of lead
ing coaches in winning percentages
is Jack Friel, Washington State,
with a win-loss record of 418-230
for a .645 in 23 years of coaching.
Slats Gill, Oregon State had a
.617 mark with his 392-243 record

Mrs. D. Barnes Tel is
BPW Club About New
Social Security
Largest attendance of Business
and Professional Women’s Club
meeting for many months greeted
speaker Representative Doris
Barnes at luncheon Monday on the
Baranof Terrace.
Following her introduction by
Mrs. Kate Smith, president, Mrs
Barnes, a former mayor of Wran
gell, chairman of the welfare com
mittee in the House of Representa
tives, told the club members about
new Social Security regulations that
became effective January 1 and now
include self-employed people. The
new regulations will have the effect i
of reducing the Territory’s welfare
load and releasing territorial money
for payment of benefits to needy
persons who do not come under
Social Security, Mrs. Barnes said.
Explaining the interest the Social
Security law has ‘for us old folks,”
Mrs. Barnes suggested that mem
bers of the BPW might provide as
sistance to old people in town who
are not familiar with benefits they
might receive under the Social Se- j
curity Act or as Territorial pen
sioners—if they were familiar with
the laws.
There are cards available at the
Social Security office in the Seward
building which can be sent to the
agency headquarters in Baltimore,
Md., for information regarding
Social Security credits that have
accumulated to the individual in
the Social Security fund.
‘‘The benefits of Social Security
are very wonderful, and with a little
additional assistance, insurance, a
trust fund or any small income,
with Social Security received at the
age of 65 none of us should be in
want.
“We should start planning now
for old age. We are living to an
| older age now, due to the science
of gerontology, and we should plan
now for living longer; plan now
for retirement at 65, plan our hob
bies so that we can continue to lead
interesting lives,” the lady from
| Wrangell said.
j Under the new law, the minimum
j amount payable to a retired worker
entitled to monthly payments will
be $20 a month, and benefits to a
family may be as high as $150
a month in some cases, Mrs. Barne.
explained. The $20 payment (double
the $10 minimum under the old
law) may be increased by territorial
check up to the amount the Ter
ritorial Welfare agency considers
necessary in welfare cases.
Amounts received under Federal
Social Security depend upon the
amount of money that has accumu
lated to the credit of the covered
person since 1936, when Social Se
curity became effective.
Introduced at the meeting Monday
was Mrs. Pauline Washington, first
woman member of the city council,
and Miss Anita Garnick. member of
the Territorial Senate, both mem
bers of Juneau BPW; Mrs. Amelia
Gundersen, BPW member from
Ketchikan and a member of the
Territorial House of Representa
tives.
Called upon to speak by president
Knte Smith, Mrs. Gundersen told
the BPW that the Ketchikan club
was actively studying legislation
coming before the current legisla
ture. She mentioned a bill for li
censing children’s boarding home:
that has been defeated in several
previous legislative sessions a n d
which she has fought in the past.
This session, I would like to author
that bill. Maybe If it is introduced
by someone who has fought it in
the past, it will pass.” Mrs. Gunder
sen said.

SENATE GROUP
FINDS PENSIONS
FUTURE BETTER
(Continued from Page One>
ported the situation was better than
the prospects had appeared in mid
1950 It said the department esti
mated last July, on the basis of pre
vailing pension payments, that the
$1,100,009 appropriation for the
biennium would be exhausted and a
deficit of S33.948 would exist by the
end of the biennium, March 31.
"However," said the committee
report, “due to increased social se
curity payments by the Federal
Government, which decreased the
load on the department of welfare,
the December estimate dropped to
indicate a deficit of $15,619. ...”
The department reasoned that by
reducing the assistance payments 8
per cent, the obligation would be
reduced by $17,904 and leave a safe
margin of $2,285 in the fund at the
close of the biennium.
“The January estimate now indi
cates that this margin will be in
creased considerably, due to the
termination of an unexpected num
ber of cases, and it is anticipated
that there will be just over $6,000
available.
“If this proves correct, the 8 per
cent would be restored to the March
payments and the individuals re
ceiving this assistance would sus
tain the reduction for two months
only, out of the 24.
“Payments to individuals range
from a few dollars a month to a
maximum of $80. The average for
December was $58.20. Consequently,
the average loss per month, to the
individual, was less than $5.
“Your committee chairmen are
agreed that this was handled by
the department in a very efficient
and businesslike manner and that
under the circumstances there was
nothing that the director of the
department could do except to oper
ate within the limits of the appro
i priation to the best of his ability.”
Besides Lhamon, the special com
mittee members were Bulrovicli, as
finance committee chairman; Anita
Garnick (R-Juneau) as labor com
mittee head, and A F. (Joe) Coble
(R-Fairbanks), as territorial offices
committee chairman,
Only one bill was introduced in
the Senate today before it adjourn
; cd to 10 a.m. tomorrow. It was by
Sen. Steve McCuteheon (D-Anch
i crage) to nllow city councils to set
the bond for city treasurer. Under
the present law, the bond has to be
at least twice the amount of money
that may go through the treasurer’s
hands during his term.
The present law is a hardship on
larger cities, he said, and the terri
tory-wide organization of city of
ficials has recommended the change.
I Under tire present law, McCuteheon
i added. Anchorage is required to
j post a bond of about $12,000,003.

She felt that the 48-hour delivery 1
■ equirement had been placed in
re specifications as a barrier to
printing firms in other cities to
assure the continuance of the
monopoly.
Auditors Statement
Terri‘orial Auditor Neil Moore,
called to the stand, explained the
specifications for bidding and said
that the 48-hour requirement had
been in the calls for bids since 1943 <
and perhaps longer.
This statement was supported by
H. L. Faulkner, attorney for the
F'mpire, who said he had been in
Juneau (|tring| evey/ legislative
session since 1913. He said he
thought the 48-hour requirement
had been in effect for at least 20
years and that was insterted at
the request of* past Legislatures.
Moore explained that the calls
for bids on the 1951 Session Lav/:;
had been issued before he was
named Auditor and that so far as
he knew the regular routine pro
ceduies had been followed. He fur
ther explained that the con tree:
included not only the printing of
the advance sheets and 500 bound
volumes, but also several other
items included in the bound vol
umes and the indexing, which must
be done by a competent person.
Shortly after 4 p.m. the Com
mittee of the Whole arose and its
chairman, Rep. Stanley McCutcheon
reported “progress.”
There was no move to take ac
tion of any kind on the matter,
although some sort of action by the
House is possible in future sessions.
