' .. j. . shocked television viewers saw the New_ York, Feb. 84—(A0.—La- verne idol of Plain tortlMr . ^ last night In a 10th round knock out loss to Oeorgie Small of Brooklyn. The end came at 13:00 p.m. with the patient in a deep coma at St. Clare’s hospital where he had been taken' on - a stretcher from St. Nicholaft anna. "The patient whs in a deep co ma," the hospital report read, “and then was respiratory fallurti with final cessation of heart action due to the after effects of a cerebral hcmmnrhegr and brain damage." Huddled at the bedside In stun ned silence were the boxer’s wife, Evelyn, and his manager, Johnny Abood, who handled Roach's career since his days with the Cherry Point, N.C., marines. Yesterday was his 24th birthday. Dr. Vincent A. Nardiello, New York State Athletic Commission physician, and four other doctors attended the stricken athlete after his last fight. Only a handful, 1.832, waded through sleet and snow to see the middleweight battle. Hundreds of thousands and perhaps millioits of Cameras focused on Roach's cor ner for several minutes as hla handlers and doctors worked over him following the knockout. 'The District Attorney’s office announced a full |h vestige tlon of the fight that resulted In boxing's first fatality of-1950. Ring Maga zine records show 1$ fight dsatke lest year. | Detective Lieutenant Henry Dev lin, of the New York CH^ police, seld ell pereone concerned with the bout would be questioned at the District Attorney's office to morrow morn pig. He said hoi had seen the match and “there does not appear to be any negligence at this Jimc." Chairman Eddie Eagan of the New York State Athletic Commie- sion called an open hearing for 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. He said a er outclassed opponents Mayo, Morgner Speak oh Eeo Club Program Dr. T. F. Mayo spoke on the disadvantages of capital ism, and Professor Aurelius Morgner spoke on the national debt, in a two part program of the Economics Club Tuesday night in the YMCA chapel. Dr. Mayo, head oif the English Department, listed several “social costs" of our American capitalis tic system, in which “business is privately owned and run for prof it”. A certain part of our crime and inequality of social opportun ity may be traced to our system, he said. Mayo cited the Harvard report oh the high cost of education as evidence of the inequality of social opportunities. It costs $90 a year to send a child to high school, Mayo said, and the cost is pro hibitive to many poorer class fam ilies in bur economic system. As an example of what he called the two inherent, opposing urges in everyone, Mayo described the pig and artist In every person. Our | system tends to make the pig, or basely possessive Instincts, grow Unit y, he continued, while the ar tist, o«f finer senses, become apolo getic. Emphasizing that he was not condemning the system, Muyo con cluded that even though our sys tem may be the best for our coun try, ‘[wc must not be blinded of Its costs by its advantages". Professor Morgner, of the Eco nomics Department, said the av erage Citizen places too much em phasis on the national debt. Oversize national debts arc noth ing new, Morgner said, pointing out the 1695 English debt that arose to tremendous proportions during a century of war and war prepara tion. Their debt was so huge as j to require 50% of the tax reVemie | to cover |the interest on the debt. I It was 9 r /r of the national income ; as compared to our present debt [ which is only 2.5% of the nation’s I income. “Nations do not go bankrupt from national debts,” Morgner said, “because governments, un like individuals, can tax or create money.” We have more to fear, he con tinued, from inflation or unem ployment resulting from clearing a natiorial debt.
