The champion himself, for per.
fectiy obvious reasons, is reluctant
to discuss his plans after The

will include a European trip and a
visit to the Tailtean games in Ire
land. Genes travelling compani0nain

flatIy denies that Tunney will
quit the ring after he meets
Heeney. But. as somebody
around here has remarked be-
fore, about all Glib" knows
about Tunney is what he sees in
the papers:
This Is no reflection on Gibson s
ability as manager. He must
have been a good one or he would
not have had a chance to handle
two of the greatest champions of
recent years. But everybody knows
that Tunney is a capable young
man who keeps his own counsel.
Others close to Tunney Were re-
luctant to discuss the story of his
imminent retirement. Their atti-
tude was that it was up to Gene to
say whatever was to be said, and
right now, the champion is ready to
stop talking in favor of more direct
action. He is concentrating oil the
job. at hand, which is to beat Tom
Heeney. Then he will retire IN

Tunney is not the kind to easily
change his mind.
Just why he should withhold deti-
mite announcements of his plans at
this time must be plain to all.
Whenever an important champion
retires undefeated it leaves n big
gap and makes for bad business IN
the fstic industry.

this today, after three days Of Tun-
isney ana two Of Heeney had AZ
f0r9ieds him rather acceptable
basis for comparison. Heeney
looks the part of a better fighting

tions that essentially are fighting

II may come as a bit SUR

Tnnney's versatility in this re-

attack? Quite so. Armbruster;

measures only !. under proyocation.
That is. he will strike you only, If

have the hardest punch in the
world but his offense is far from
lacking in variety. One OF its best
features lis a left hook the liver,
very effective and seldom ifiac-
curate. He also works left upper

those who have seen him only as
a right-hand hitter.
This, OF course, Is his best punch.

TWO INFLUENZA
DEATHS REPORTED
SO New Cases Reported in District
Over Christmas-770,-
100 in U. s.

Influenza in the District put 80 more
victims In bed over Christmas and
caused the death of two others, accord
ing to medical reports filed today with
the Health Department.
Six Of the 80 new cases were reported
yesterday, and the remaining ~ this
morning. The two additional deaths
brought the total of fatalities since the
outbreak to II.
Health Department officials explained
that the reports indicate the disease Is
maintaining q steady pace In the Dis
trict, with no radical fluctuations in
new cases. The highest number Of
cases reported in any 24-hour period
thus far has been 46, but this figure Is
believed to have included some accunu-
lated returns.
Public health officials said today that
complete reports on influenza during
the holiday period probably would In
dicate more than q million cases in
the United States.
Preliminary reports received today
indicated at least 770,160 cases in 20
States, public health officials said, for
the week ended December az, com.
pared with 518,715 cases in these
States the previous week.. officials
based this comparison on actual re-
ports of 154,032 for the latter and Of
lO3,743 for the former week. They
added that while last weeks reports
showed the number of cases decreasing
in some Western States. the decrease
is more than counterbalanced by In
creases in others. It is not probable,
they said, that the peak Of the epi-
demic has been reached.
Reports received probably are In.
complete because Of the holidays" it
was said, and "since these indicate more
than 1000 cases. 1t Is probable that
complete reports will show well over
1000, 900 cases"
The number of cases In States re-
ported today follow:
Kansas, 1857; Maine, 46; Montana,
4,O3I; New Mexico. 1851: Illinois, 2,408:

States takes care of itself, for 1t is
customary in the parades incident to
the inaugural Of President to place
the State delegations in the parade ac-'
cording to the date Of admission of the
State to the Union.
Under Gen. Stephan's tentative plan
which must be approved by the general
committee and then by Mr.. Hoover, the
parade will be formed In two divisions
The first divisions will include con-
tingents from the Army, Navy and
Marine Corps, the District National
Guard and the cadets from the Military
and Naval Academies if they come to
Washington to take part.
The second division will be composed
of the State governors and their escorts
in uniform: delegations from national
patriotic organizations, national So
cieties, veterans organizations and
other national associations which should
be represented. In tribute to Vice
President-elect Curtis, Gen. Stephan
plans to have a full representation of
the Indian tribes in the United States
He has consulted Victor j. Evans Of
Washington, an expert on Indian tribes
and has ascertained that there are %
representative tribes. He plans to ap-
portion a place in the parade to each
of these tribes to be represented by
eight members dressed in tribal finery.
Asks Distinctive Uniforms.
In order to avoid the monotony Of
a lengthy parade of men dressed in
approximately the same uniform, such
as the olive drab of the Army, Gen.
Stephan has requested that each march,
ing company be dressed in its own uni
form, which will be distinctive enough,
he feels, to break up the monotony Of
marching files of men and women OF
much the same order Of dress. He has
asked that the Republican State chair
men select the marching contingentS
to accompany the State governors in
the parade, and has urged that
bands in colorful uniforms accompany
each delegation.
Additional members of the committee
on housing and hospitality, Of which
Mrs Virginia White Speel Is chairman,
were announced today as follows: Mrs.
William Atherton Dupuy. Mrs. Jesse
w. Nicholson, Mrs Marion Butler and
Mrs. John Woodruff An invitation to
Durant w. Springer, to become a men,
ber OF the general committee, was sent
from inaugural committee headquarters
today. Acceptances were received from
IL prominent Washington men who
had been invited to serve on the gen.
eral committee.
