P1..U II !J ? *
w.v/<n viuu mciaeni . , . Ana wniie a vast majority of folks are
? of the opinion that whatever I have to say is meaningless, they evi- v
drntly have forgotten that while Miss Baker was given the brush by
Sherman. Billingsley, the entertainer's quest for publicity found the
B'way columnist Walter Winchell holding the bag. And what a sad
a/.eking they gave him! . . . After being called upon by members of ^
the Negro press to give my impression of the dAstardly Jim Crow :
act I called upon Miss Baker in her dressing room at the Boxy
Theatre wh' re she wis appearing at the time.
She admitted right off the hat that **it teat a filthy business" and, else
that the remembered nodding a cheery **Hello r t*y WW upon em- I'
Bering the Stork Club. She had no recollection as to whether Wincheii |
was still in the Stork Club when she and her party discovered they
were victims of a discriminating plot . . . She remembered that the ! "
then 7th Deputy Police Commissioner (William Rowe) teas contacted <>
along with other leading Harlem cltisens. When asked, "Why didn't
fou contact WWf", she stated, "In the exciting msoments, I guess,
never gave it a thought." ... But somebody did. In fact several v
busy-bodies realised that this teas it. Opportunity knocks but ossce.
Their goat would be the B'way sage, Mr. Columnist, himself.
Prior to seeing MUs Baker I had spent several days up hi Bostou f
helping to raise over fifty thousand dollars for the Damon Runyou
Fund. Up there I learned how WinrheU had aided the widow of ,
policeman killed in Miami by spear-heading a drive for more tikes
sixty thousand dollars . . . And speaking of Miami, Remember It wee ' ;
Winchell ? and nobody else, but ? who made it possible for i '
Negroes to entertain in White clubs and for Negroes to attend those
same nite spots . . . And among the **things you never knew tUI now" ]
(Beg pardon, Walter), I told Miss Baker at the time of my interview
with her, "I will support yon in any action yen take against Sherman
r- Btttfngsley." I'

I remember that night of September 12, 1951 when I walked into the
ring at the Polo Grounds to. battle Randy Turpin. I looked out from the
bright lights across a sea of faces and saw that big Longines
clock over the stadium and I said to myself, "It won't be long now."
I It took just ten rounds and I won the Middleweight title back again.
Lord love that Longines clock! George Bannon, chief timer, timed the
rounds with a Longines, I hear. It is the greatest watch in sports.
It's my good luck watch and it should be yours too. Itii beautiful and
a real champidn. It's well called "the world's most honored watch".
I offer congratulations to Coxy Coles and Gene Krupa, the world's
Eoatest "skin" men, on the opening of their drum school ... On
enday afternoon yours truly was guest speaker at a luncheon at
the Hotel Statler in N. Y. C. It was wonderful to be among the
600 Rusco personnel at their 'family* get-to-gether. The F. C. Russell
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, are a real American bunch that doe*
a splendid job of creating inter-racial goodwill.

Charles Martin Hall (1863 1914)
February seems to be a favored mooth for
xrcatness. On February 23, 1886, Charles '
Martin Hall, a 22-year-old student at fl M
Oberlin, O., prepared a crucible for an
electrolytic experiment in the woodshed
at the rear of his home. Heat from the
electric current reduced cryolite in the
crucible to a molten mass. Into this substance,
Hall added some aluminum oxide.
Hours later the current was shut off. The
mass cooled. The brittle sla? was broken
up. Out of the crust came shiny aluminum
buttons. And that was the day our mod- ^H| Wr I
ern aluminum industry was bom. Hall /
-L?-' J -
uDuinca a patent on rus process; a pro- |
duction company wss organized. Hall /
died in 1914, leaving an estate of /
$30,000,000, to encourage other men to
try hard for inventions?and patents that j
make jobs. _ :. . '
