"Tickled to death-Pve been

that is the answer Frank Herrera
gave last night when Dan Padilla
telephoned him and offered him
bout with Lee.
And so Lee and Herrera will
meet at the Armory the evening

first honest-to-g goodness bout Dan
has arranged for some years. And
by-the-way, we've been under

and when fans went to the bouts

For this reason, if for nothing else.
Herrera is entitled to have his

Director.
nv The Associated Press.l

Moscow, Feb. (by the Associa-
ted Press) That the work of the
American relief administration is
free from attempts by the Russian
soviet government to control it was
contained in a statement by Col.
William N. Haskell, the admins
tration's director in Russia. to cor
respondents today. He also eX-
pressed the opinion that the soviet
governments transportation facili-
ties could carry enough of the or
ganization's food for 100000 peo-
pie, as we'll as enough grain for
spring seeding.
an. Kamaneff (president Of the
Moscow soviet personally assured
me-" he said, that there would be
no attempt to throttle the admin
istrations activities. He also said
Russian newspapers would be per-
mitted to print whatever we desired
showing Americas interest to save
the starving"
M. Kamaneff has published an
order for all Russian officials to
aid in whatever manner possible,
the Administrations work.
With ice blocking the Baltic, the
Black sea now is being used which
means that the ports of Novoros-
sisk and Odessa are being widely
opened to commerce.
Colonel Haskell said there were
twenty-five relief administration
ships at sea. Regarding cannibal-
ism, he said that thus far the
Americans had obtained no evil
dence concerning such a situation.
He expressed the belief however,
that 1t was likely the nomadic peo-
pie in the trans-Volga were eating
human flesh.
Colonel Haskell announced the
completion of plans for the issuing
of four million daily adult corn ra-
lions as a result of the American
congressional appropriation OF
$40, 100000. These rations, he said,

box and Benny fought and the
bout was not a success from the
fans tandpoint-there was too
much clinching. With Lee, 1t looks
like a finished boxing show. The
boys are about the same height
and have the same reach and are
both fast on their feet.
There has been talk Of matching
Lee with stopper or Padget, but
Herrera offers a better chance for
a bang-up scrap with speed and
everything. Herrera fans here
claim the Colorado boy has more
chance to beat Lee than did John
ME Kid MeY, for while Herrera
hasn't the punch of Mex, he is
quicker, taller and will meet Lee
at his own game-fast boxing.
The bout Is scheduled for IS
rounds. Aside from the main
event there will be at least two
preliminares which promise well.
Lee has kept in training since
his bout last week with Mex and
as all fans know. Herrera's life is
one seige Of training after another.
He will arrive here for a public
workout Thursday afternoon. The
rest of the card will be announced
today.
