They Biographies MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARD IN SELECTION -a PRIMARY VOTING IN OHIO, INDIANA AND ALABAMA Brown Choice To Retain Title i In Dupas Bout HOUSTON, May 6 (UP) Champion Joe Brown and challenger Ralph Dupas worked out lightly today as they put on the finishing touches for tomorrow night's world lightweight championship fight. A crowd of 10,000 ana a gate of $60,000 plus money from national television is ex ceded for the 15-round con test, the first title bout in Tex as history. Both men spent some time oh the light bag today, as well as shadow boxing and doing exercises. There was no spar ring.

Brown has been made a slight favorite to retain his crown against the fancy-boxing Dupas, but the odds have seen slowly dropping as the fight time draws nearer. Dupas's camp was apparently assured today that their boy has "made" the limit of 135 pounds, and that he would weigh in at exactly that figure at noon tomorrow. The biggest worry of the New Orleans boxer's followers now seems to be just how much the weight-dropping problem has taken out of him. An old eye cut has also been troubling Dupas, but trainer Angelo Dundee said he thought the cut was fully healed and a "punch shouldn't open it." In Brown's camp, the quietly determined champ said he would be shooting for a knockout from the opening bell. "All I'm interested in is his chin." the champion said.

"I'll be disappointed if it goes 15 rounds and I have to win by a decision. I'm looking for a knockout."

James Agee The ending of "A Death in the Family" had been reached some time before James Agee himself died of a heart attack May 16, 1955, at the age of 45. His publishers said that only minor editorial problems were involved in preparing the novel for, publication since his manuscript was "a near-perfect form of art." Mr. Agee was born in Knox-ville Nov.

He joined the Buffalo Express as a copy boy after completing his education in the public schools of western New York.

It wasn't long before he was helping out In the art department and try ing ills nana as a canoomsi.

He has won several cartoon awards in national competition, including four from the Freedoms Foundation.

In awarding the prize for his cartoon, "The Thinker," the trustees of Columbia University took in account the whole volume of Shanks's work throughout the year. Harry S.

For the most notable ex-! ample of local reporting under pressure of deadline, the Fargo Forum was commended by judges and trustees for "proceeding under considerable difficulty, and overcoming many handicaps, so that "a small but skilled staff put out a complete tornado edition about five hours" 1 after a tornado struck Fargo June 20. Washinrton Urban Problem. For outstanding reporting without pressure of time.

Beveridge received a Pulitzer Prize in recognition of his series of eight articles between Oct. 6 and Nov. 24 in the Wash ington Evening Star concern' ing urban development prob lem of the national capital. His thesis was that Washing ton's growth created demand for new administra tive and financial machinery on a co-operative basis among jurisdictions In the area. Co lumbia trustees found the series "thought provoking" and that the series stimulated, public consideration of the problem.

The Star received letters of commendation from President Eisenhower, Government and organization spokesmen. A cartoon by Shanks "The Thinker." won the prize in that category. The award is for. a distinguished example of a cartoonist's work, the de termining qualities being that the cartoon shall embody an idea more clearly apparent, shall show good drawing and striking pictorial effect, and shall be Intended to be helpful to some commendable cause of public importance." The award also takes consideration the artist's work during the year. For an outstanding example of news photography, one by Beall in the Washington Daily News, was selected.

It is a human-interest picture of a sympathetic policeman convincing a two-year-old tot that he should not leave the sidewalk -to get closer to a passing parade. Times'i Honor Unusual. Another first in the history of Pulitzer Prize awards was established when the trustees announced that the New York Times had received the award for "a distinguished example of reporting international news, including the United Nations." The prize previously was re served for individual Columbia trustees praised the newspaper, from which the Post Dispatch receives news service stories concerning events both national and abroad, for "its distinguished coverage of foreign news, which was characterized by admirable initiative, continuity and high quality during the year." Because so many contributed to the achievement, it was explained, no one person or group of persons was singled pit for special mention. High points reached last year, it was said, included exclusive inter views with Cuban rebel leader Fidel Castro and two with Nikita S. Khrushchev before he became premier of the Soviet Union.

Others were the general coverage of Moscow announcements of the launchings of Sputnik I and II, and a special series on those and other Soviet satellites; the first news of Mao Tse-tung's Peiping ad mission that 800,000 Chinese had been liquidated by his Red regime and many detailed analytical articles on European and Asian affairs. The special citation to Lipp-mann, the veteran political analyst, was for "the wisdom; perception and high sense of responsibility with which he has commented so many years on national and international Awards In Field of Letters. In the fields of letters, the judges selected "A Death in the Family" as the best novel. It was written by Agee (pronounced Age-ee, accent on the first syllable). The posthumous award of $500 will go to the estate of the author, who died after completing his novel, except for editing, three years ago.

The story has as background the childhood home and neighborhood of Agee's native Knox-ville, Tonn. One of the characters in the novel is a small boy who bears the given name of Rufus which was Agee's middle name, lending support to the belief that the book is strongly autobiographical. It deals with a family's reaction to the death of a much loved father in an automobile accident. Although the novel was never in the best-seller lists, it has achieved critical acclaim since publication. As the American play the choice was "Look Homeward, Angel," an adaptation of the novel by Thomas Wolfe about the Gant family of rural North Carolina.

The fictitious Gant family Is closely identified with that of Wolfe and the events with his life and thinking, both in the novel and in the play, which has been a sellout on Broadway for many months. The play has been narrowed to 19 characters, whereas there are about 300 Wolfe's novel. The play has retained the sensitive, almost poetic tone Wolfe's writing and its value as a story. It deals with young Eugene Gant's restlessness, his desire to reject his home surroundings and the emotions which will not permit any permanent cleavage. None of Wolfe's novels ever received a Pulitzer Prize.

For the most distinguished book of history the prize went Bray Hammond, 71-year-old retired assistant secretary of the Federal Reserve Board for his: "Banks and Politics in America: from the Revolution the Civil War." Freeman's Another posthumous award went to Douglas Southall Freeman for the biography "George Washington," in seven volumes. The seventh volume was completed after Freeman's death in 1953 by -I' wo associates, Mary Wells A'fJvorth and John Alex- ander jroll. They will re is his He we the Cal her one in the to son. the live in Fairfield, with their two children. Bray Hammond Retiring in 1950 after 20 years service as assistant secretary of the Federal Reserve Board, Hammond has devoted the last eight years to revising and rewriting his history of American banking, a subject he has been pursuing since his early 20s.

Today, now 71, he lives at Thetford Center, Vt. In his award-winning history, Hammond employs the subject of banking as, in his own words, "a point of observation whence one can look over the landscape and spy out things not to be so clearly seen from any other angle." With painstaking scholarship and gracefulness of style, he chronicles and interprets aspects of young America's political-financial affairs as the conflict between Hamilton and Jefferson and the destruction of the second bank of the United States. He also describes the attempts to bolster the Government's finances as the Civil War approaches. His writings while with the Federal Reserve were a guide to legislators and students of banking and were instrumen tal in monetary legislation. When the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was being discussed in Congress he pointed out that a similar organization had worked successfully in New York state in the 1830s.

In 1956 Warren wrote "Segregation: The Inner Conflict in the South," which critics acclaimed as a first-rate reporto- rial job. A critic has said of Warren poetry in "Promises" that "in his suggestions of a kind of rough balladry, he revives the almost lost art of the ballad-making poet.

Macabre narratives, half-mad evocations, and strange folk tales mingle with boyhood recollection, strays of memory." A number of poems, he continued, "reflect intensi fied experience, a force and an almost fierce sensibility uncommon in today's poetry." His recent books include World Enough and Time." "Brother to Dragons," and Band of Angels."

Selection of candidates for Governor highlights contests in Ohio and Alabama, while nominees for Congress and state and local offices will be picked in Indiana. Light turnouts were forecast for Ohio and Indiana, but a heavy vote was expected in Alabama where 14 candidates sought the Democratic nomination equivalent to election for Governor.

School segregation was a major issue. Each of the Alabama aspirants advocated a continuation of segregation but they differed in degree. Some advocated closing schools threatened with integration, while others promised to fight to keep them open on a separate-but-equal basis. In Ohio, seven candidates vied for the Democratic nomination for Governor. They included former Federal Price Stabilizer Michael V.

DiSalle, the Democrats' 1956 nominee. Opinion was divided about DiSalle's chance of winning the nomination again. Some observers put him ahead of the field, but others believed he faced rugged opposition. Two mayors were among other can didates, Anthony J. Celebrezze of Cleveland and Maynard E.

Sensenbrenner of Columbus. Gov. William O'Neill, who defeated DiSalle in the 1956 general election, sought Republican renomination. His only opponent was former Mayor Charles P. Taft of Cin cinnati, a brother of the late Senator Robert Taft.

But Taft disclaimed his opposition and said he actually was supporting' O'Neill. Taft entered the race after O'Neill suffered a heart attack last January. Announcing as a standby candidate, Taft has re mained in the running despite assurances from O'Neill that it was unnecessary in view of the Governor's apparent recovery. In the senatorial primary, neither Republican incumbent John W. Biicker nor Democrat Stephen M.

Young had opposition. Two Republican Congress men faced tough opposition in Indiana primaries. They are Representatives Cecil M. Harden of the Sixth District and Charles B. Brownson of the Eleventh District.

Mrs. Harden was fighting the challenge of Robert Webb while Brown- son bid for renomination against Donald C. Bruce. Three other Congressmen were regarded as having only nominal opposition and six incumbents had none at all. KOREAN ELECTION RESULT BLOCKS SUCCESSION MOVE SEOUL, May 6 (AP) The Democratic party won one seat more than one-third of the South Korean Natoinal Assem bly in Friday's elections.

This blocks a p'an by President Syngman Rhee's Liberals to bar Vice President Chang Myun from succession to the presi dency. Liberals demanded a recount in the last district decided, which the Democrats won by 24 votes. The Liberals had hoped (o win two-thirds of the 233 seats so they could amend the constitution to keep Chang from moving up if the 83-year-old Rhee dies during the remaining two years of his term. Chang Myun is a Democrat. The Liberals won 125 seats for a majority of 17 in the one- house legislature.

They held 131 seats in the old 203-seat assembly. The Democrats won 79 seats compared with 46 be fore. Independents won 28 seats and the Unity party one. vited by J. N.
