New Aid-to Education
Package Raises Hopes
Among Key Democrats
WASHINGTON UR — A new
aid-to education package present
ed by Secretary of Welfare Ribi
coff raised hopes among key
Democrats in Congress Thursday
that some sort of bill can be
passed this year. '
Ribicoff emerged from a meet
ing with Democrats on the House
education and Labor Committee
smiling broadly and told news
men he thought the muddled
school bill situation was “a lot
better.”
Committee Chairman Adam
Powell Jr., (D-N.Y.), added that
chances for getting the package
through the House — where all
education measures have been
bottled up in the Rules Commit
tee — were now excellent.
They said the final signal to
go ahead with the plan will have
to be given by President Kennedy
and House Speaker Sam Rayburn
after a conference to be arranged
by Ribicoff.
The new compromise proposal
contains something from all the
measures now stymied in the
House Committee, but at a sharp
ly reduced level.

Harry Balough,
Boxing Announcer
Is Dead at 70 ,
NEW YORK — Harry Wil
liam Balough, a trumpet-voiced
boxing announcer who handled
most of the important title bouts
of the 1930s and 1940s, is dead
at 70. He was celebrated for many
innovations in announcing, plus
some humorous inadvertencies in
his delivery.
“Leave us all view this con
test without anchor or preju
dism,” Balough beseeched the au
dience about to witness the Joe
Louis-Primo Camera fight at
Yankee Statdium in 1935.
Camera was not too popular
at that time because his native
Italy was waging war against
Ethiopia.
Balough later acknowledged he
had gotten his tongue twisted in
uttering the word anchor. But he
insisted:
“I still maintain that ‘predu
dism’ is a terrific word. If it isn’t
in the dictionary, it ought to be.”
During a quarter-century of an
nouncing — in which he became
better known than many of the
pugilists he introduced in the
ring — Balough became the un
questioned master of redundancy
and sometimes almost strangled on
words as he rose to heights of
rehetorical oratory.
“I gave you the popular, power,
punching, pugilistic idol,” he
would say, for example, “who per
sists in kayoing his opponets with
atomic finality — indubitably a
very worth, capable challenger.”
Balough was the first an
nouncer to appear in the ring
clad in tuxedo and stiff-fronted
shirt — a startling sight at first
to old-time fans.
Late in the 1940s Balough de
cided he was entitled to some
Hijacked EAL Electra
Ready to Fly Again
MIAMI,. Fla. UP1 — The Eastern
Airline’s hijacked Electra was
back in Miami and ready to fly
after an unscheduled 23-day stay
in Cuba.
The $2.5 million four-engine
plane was returned Wednesday by
Capt. W. E. Buchanan, who flew
it to Havana July 24 with a pistol
at his head.
Buchanan said the ship was un
harmed and Cuban officials told
him it had been under 24-hour a
day guard.
The plane was returned in ex
change for a $50,000 Cuban pa
trol boat sailed to Key West July
29 by three defecting Cubans. The
U. S. State Department arranged
the swap.
The FBI has charged the EAL
plane’s hijacker with two counts
involving crime on the high seas.
The hijacker, Wilfredo Ramon
Quendo, a Cuban-born naturalized
American, is being held in a Ha
vana jail, the EAL crew was in

kind of fees from the many people
who were writing articles about
him. When a magazine writer
complained that President Tru
man demanded no fee for inter
views, Baiough shot back:
“Comparisons are odorous. The
name is Harry Baiough, not Harry
Truman. Far be it from me to
take incinerations about anyone,
but I think each person should
be privileged to run their own
life as they see fit.”
Baiough born a poor boy on
Manhattan’s lower east side and
for a time in his early youth tried
a hand at boxing. However, he
soon found out his power lay in
his voice.
This, he said, he strengthened
by voicing aloud what he read
on signboards. He never took one
lesson in public speaking.
