are the underdog, you have
gained well, you have the wind
at your back and you need a
psychological lift to give you
confidence for an upset. Let’s
gamble. j

2. Handoff. Good chance of

1. Sneak. Best call. Hard to

Was Booed in England
Trinidad Boxer Happy as Fans
Applaud Style in Upset Win
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—“ Ame
rica—it’s wonderful.”
That’s what Hector Constance
of Trinidad was saying today
after beating favored / Ralph j
(Tiger) Jones and his enthusiasm
was unbounded.
“The crowd cheers me here,”
said the puzzled but happy 26-
year-old welterweight contender.
“In England they booed me for
fighting this kind of fight.”
Hector was referring to his
close-quarter exchanges with the
aggressive but sluggish Tiger in
the last half of their 10-rounder
at Madison Square Garden last
night.
Through the first five rounds,
the rangy West Indian fought
a retreating, side- stepping,
counter-punching fight. Jones
would come in and Hector would
move, popping his incoming rival
whenever he could. For this type
of fight, he trailed on the sdore
cards of two of the three offi
cials.
But from the fifth on, Con
stance played lt Jones’ way and
beat the Tiger at his own game.
Constance had been trapped and
whaled at on the ropes in the
fifth frame. Apparently he
learned his lesson.
Through the. last half of the
fight he tried to do the pinning
apd punching and he succeeded.
He swept the seventh, the eighth
and ninth rounds from the puf
fing, tired Yonkers, N. Y., mid
dleweight to gain a split deci

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—An in

The charges that set off the

Twenty-one witnesses testi

the perennial titleholder.
Alden passed 18 yards to Bill

hdd it a draw, giving each five |
rounds and six points. The A. P. |
had Constance ahead, 6-3-1.
Constance, now ranked as the
10th welterweight contender, is
due for a promotion. Jones,
who lost his fourth straight, was
a high ranking middleweight
only a f€W months ago. He
thought he won.
“We want the top welters
now,” said Constance’s manager,
Sammy Richman. “We’d like
Carmen Basilio or Vince Mar
tinez. Hector will be* the champ
before 1955 if he gets the fights.”
For Constance, it wafc his sec
ond successive upset. He was
an 8-5 uhderdog to the 161-
pound Tiger, who had an 8-
pound weight advantage.
In his previous scrap, Con
stance whipped Chico Varona of
Cuba, another betting choice.
Constance was held to a draw
by Johnny Brown in his United
States debut in Chicago. His
record is 20-6-5. Jones’ record
is 32-11-3.
As usual, the bout was broad
cast and telecast and the house
was small. No figures an

Legislator to Seek
Slitter Narcotics Laws
By the Associated Press
Representative Edmondson,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, said to
day he will renew efforts in the
next Congress to curb violations
of the Federal narcotics law by
strengthening them.
At the same time, he told a
reporter, he will ask that reduc
tions in personnel in the Cus
toms Bureau and Border Patrol
be restored.
“The cuts in personnel have
made lt easier for the dope
peddler and the narcoctics vio
lator to get into this country,”
he said.
Representative Edmondson
would eliminate minimum pen
alties for violation of laws pro
hibiting illegal imports and ex
ports of narcotic drugs. He said
such a step would make it easier
to obtain convictions of first
offenders by juries.
He explained that a jury some
times feels that the minimum
penalty provided by a law is too
severe and as a result returns
a verdict of acquittal. He also
would increase the maximum
penalties.
The present law, he said, pro
vides a maximum fine of $2,000
and sets minimum and maximum
prison sentences which increase
up to the third offense.
The jail provisions are two
to five years for the first of
fense, Mr. Edmondson said, five
to 10 years for the second and
10 to 20 years for third and
subsequent violations.
Under his bill, jnaximum sen
tence for the first offense could
include a $5,000 fine and not
mor than 10 years Imprison
ment, maximum of SIO,OOO and
15 years for the second and a
maximum of $15,000 and up to
20 years for the third.
D. C. Pay for Jobless
Will Rise Next Year
The District, which paid out
about $4 million this year in un
employment compensation, will
pay about one-third again as
much next year, the Board of
Trade ,was told yesterday.
C. A. Wharton, director of the
city’s .Board of Unemployment
Compensation, said coverage of
! Federal and District employes
will rise when amendments to
the law become effective Janu
ary 1. *
He warned the business or
ganization members to be sure
they tell his office when an em
ploye leaves work in such a
manner as to make himself
ineligible for jobless benefits.
Unless the employer files a re
port of Ineligibility on the
worker, the compensation board
must take the claimant’s word
on how he came to be out of
work, Mr. Wharton said. And
that could cost S7BO If the
claimant drew full compensa
tion for the maximum period.
When the District unemploy
ment amendments begin, the
minimum weekly benefit will be
$8 and the maximum S3O. The
benefit period will be increased
to 26 weeks.
The Board of Trade luncheon
was in the Statler Hotel.
Kenneth Curtis, assistant di
rector of the Industrial Rela
tions Department, National As
sociation of Manufacturers, also
spoke.

Air Force
base. The * 181
scene was HL 'iOpillf
a dramatic j
one, but
not, thought _ .
the observ- Bettj B ** u ‘
ers, an occasion for rejoicing.
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen
Mother of Britain, dwarfed by
i two facing rows of airmen who
i at attention, formed a path
for her, walked toward the
big Royal Canadian Air Force
plane waiting for this special
! cargo. The greyish sapphire
blue of her costume matched
I; her eyes and set off the blue
of the airmen’s uniforms. The
sky was .an unblemished’ light
| blue, the 1 air fresh,
j Every one gathered out there
was concerned with the move
, ments and wishes of this one
: sweet-faced woman. Fifteen
, people connected with the air
base—headed by the top brass,
Maj. Gen. E. W. Barnes, dep
uty commander of the Tacti
. cal Air Command, and Brig.
, Gen. Edwin S. Chickering,
i base commander, and their
j wives—hafl been lined up to
* greet her when she stepped
i out of her Rolls Royce.
Waiting near the plane to
take over at the proper mo
ment were Canadian officials
• —Canada’s Secretary of State
» and Mrs. R. Pinard, Mr. Lionel
Massey, secretary to Governor
General Vincent Massey and
his son, and Inspector Ather
son of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police who had flown
here to meet her.
Close behind were her entour
age and the people who had
come to say goodbye Mr.
i Winthrop Rockefeller, chair
man of the boards of Colonial
! Williamsburg and her Virginia
1 host; British Ambassador and
Lady Makins, who had been
with her throughout her
United States visit; British
Counselor and Mrs. John Car
' ter and the Chief of Protocol
and Mrs. John Simmons.
Mr. Simmons, saying goodby
on behalf of the President of
the United States, told her
that she had won all our
hearts;. Godspeed and come
back soon. She mounted the
ramp to the plane, turned at
the top step and waved a last
graceful farewell. From the
way the band of American
press who had covered her felt,
one can imagine what was
going on in the hearts of the
1 British. Not a single one of
us had ever caught an expres
> sion of displeasure, an irri
tated look, a gesture of impa
tience or even the slightest
turning of thq back on so
much as a total stranger in
the crowds that always fol
lowed her. She was in truth
a queen. <
This was never better ob
served than \during her morn
ing excursion in Colonial
Williamsburg yestercfhy. Her
majesty set out at 11 for the
apothecary shop and the whole
town decided to go with her.
From there she went next door
to the bakeshop and sampled ,
their gingerbread, commenting
as she left, “Terribly good food
in there.”
From the silversmith’s shop

the 7 to 9 o’clock fete had gone
out according to Saudi Arabian
custom, received more than 400
guests assisted by his pretty wife.
Mme. Al-Faqih wore native
dress—red and gold figured
brocade —but the couple’s two
daughters who were also present
were attired in Western evening
there with her husband, Mr.
gowns. The eldest, Selma, was
Aneece Hassen, both of them
back from a prolonged honey
moon byway of Mexico. A
younger daughter, Ida, wore &
light blue organza ballerina
length gown that set off her dark
beauty. ,
Early arrivals included the

top; the Portuguese Ambassador
and Senhora de Esteves Fernan
des, and the president of the
Middle East Institute and Mrs.
George Camp Keiser.
Native custom was observed
in the food and beverages served.
Provision of a champagne foun
tain was a concession to non-
Moslem tastes, but most of the
guests sipped fruit punch and
served themselves from a buffet
which was amply spread witn i
roast lamb and turkey? Arabian i
rice, curried shrimp and a varl- |
ety of native vegetable dishes.
Later, the Ambassador’s wile,
revealed she had personally su
pervised the cooking. “In my
country, you know, it is an aft,”
charm, however, occurred Just
outside the Courthouse, Little
4-year-old Becky Estes had
been placed on a bench
near the entrance where she
couldn’t help but get an arms
length view of the Queen when
she came out. The only diffi
culty was that Becky was shy
and she began to hang her
blond head. The more tier
mother told her she’d better
look up because the Queen was
coming out. the lower went
the head. Finally her majesty
did come out just as some one
was trying to get Becky’s chin
off her chest.
The Queen stopped, in
trigued. She turned toward
Becky to see if she would look
up as her mother was begging
her to do, but the head only
sank lower. “I know just how
she feels,” said her majesty
to Mr. Rockefeller.>Then
walking over to Becky and
remarking, “Isn’t she sweet?”
she patted her on the head.
So far as we know, Becky’s
head is still on her knees.
When the Queen Mother
took her leave of Williams
burg Inn. she gaid goodby to
all the servants lined up with
their pleased grins, and she
thanked every one who had
helped to make her stay pleas
ant.
She went straight from
there to a luncheon given by
the President of William and
Mary College and Mrs. Alvin
D. Chandler. The luncheon
was held in the college’s Sir
Christopher Wren Building,
which was designed by him
and is the oldest college build
ing standing in America.
The Queen’s own gift to
Colonial Williamsburg was a
silver tobacco box made in
London by Edward Comock
In 1723, the last year of Sir
Christopher wren’s life. \
she said as she explained that
the rice dish alone would take
one Inexperienced in Arabian
cookery four hours to prepare,
“but only one hour for us.“
A popular spot during the eve
ning was the library wnere an
oil portrait of the present King
Saud, painted by the Ambas
sador himself, hangs over a'fire
place. On the the other .walls
hang portraits of the late King
Abdul Aziz Al-Saud and the
king’s brother, Crown Ftince
Faisal who is now Foreign Min
ister.
Appropriately, the evening
ended with remaining guests i
sipping Arabian coffee—a light
bodied brew faintly flavored, witn
cardamon.
