badly bruised.
The resolution authorized Speak
er HowlfYdtt Nugrnt to appoint an
invc.stigHting committee of three
members.
When the resolution was read,
members of the State House quib
bled, saving variously that “I know
that in these days we are no? able
to employ competent help I am
very much opposed to an investi
gation."
'1 am positive that this case is
! not one-sided "
"It is almost impossible today to
find competent help for our hos

can " -
"Perhaps we are not golfing
potent help." Phillips replied, "oe
cau.se we pay attendants only slls
a month and make deductions for
their meals. 1 want this resolution
voted upon now. If we delay we
1 will be less liable to learn the true
farts."
The resolution went to commit
tee without a roll call.
Dr. H. C. Dunslone, medical .?up
ermtendent of the Pontiac State
hospital, in a telephone interview
with the Michigan Chronicle, said:
"I have nothing to hide. Since
a resolution has been placed be
fore the State Legislature, all I
have to .<a,v has been sa;d to the
legislators "
Rep. Burton Story of lon a. in
the debate on the resolution, said:
"These things happen every once
n a while "
He po nted out that there’s n
hospital in hi? city, and because of
the inability to set competent help,
they were confronted with the
same situation.

Joe Louis —
(Continued from Pag* 1)
he's still capable of defeating most
of the opposition he'll face within
the next two or three yuan. Joe
stands‘heads and shoulders above
the present group of fighters, and
should have no difficulty In holding
the champions tip he won from
Jim Braddock in 1937."

ARTHUR MITCHELL who Is an
cmtloyee of Uncle Henry Ford,
is another who is opposed to Louis
retiring at this stage of his career.
"Joe can tic one hand behind
his back and whip most of the
present day heavyweights. So
what's bis reason for wanting to
retire?
"And the guy can pull down
some big purses after the war. A
tight with Billy Conn should draw
a million dollars. And he could
take on Godoy and a few other
stumblebums.
"1. for one, don't want to see him
retire right after peace has been
declared."

“JOE is the greatest champion
ever to hold the heavyweight
title" says J.ie Williams. “He has
defended hi.-, title more often than
all of the former champions put
together, and that title has been in
danger only once-4-when he fought
Billy Conn
"In addition. Joe h is been a real
credit to boxing and to America.
He's been a •gentleman in and out
of the ring, and hi*-act; ms in both
places have brought a world of
•credit to the Necro.
"No. I don't think he should re
tire right now. 1, for one. would
want him to continue to fight for
at IcaH a year or more after peace
ha-, been declared ’*
Some more letters on Joe’s re
tirement will be printed next
week.
