Muhammad Ali, (his religious toga) will visit here, next week and is expected to use his talk ing talent to extol the virtues of the religion, as he preaches. He will also visit Durham.

Those who know the history of champions and the army are calling attention to the fact that Jack Dempsey was charged-with the same offense. They argue, however, that Dempsey's fail ure to answer the draft, was mere ignorance, supported by misinformation. When Demp sey came to trial he was ac quitted in ten minutes.
