TUNNEY RETIRED
 FOR GOOD, HE SAYS
Ex-Champ Talks GraciOuSly
 With Reporters on Return

New York, Dec. 4 (P) - Gene Tunney is home again, not to fight. but to live "quietly and simply" Tunney. with his wife, the former Polly Lauder, returned to the United States yesterday from Italy after spending 15 months abroad.
 It was a new Tunncy who came back to the land that gave him fame and fortune. More gracious than fStic reporters had ever seen him. the retired heavyweight cham pion of the world submitted cheer fully to photogra phers' demands. while answering as best he could the hundreds of questions fired at | him by reporters.
 Silent on Lawsuit
 Concerning the suit Mrs. Kath- crine King Fogarty has brought against him, Tunncy had nothing to say, but he was ready and will ing to talk about boxing.
 Anticipating questions as 10 | whether he would return 10 inc ring, Tunney had a prepared state ment for the pcrusal Of reporters: The echo of a rumor at home that l am contemplating returning to the boxing game 10 defend the heavyweight championship reached me in Italy. This is in no sense true for I have permanently ended by public career. My great wish now is to live quietly and simply. for this manner of living brings me most happiness.'
 Apparently the thing that caused Tunney the most astonishment | abroad was the size of Primo Car nera's feet. Gene met Camera, six feet, 10 inch fighting carpenter from Venice, at London,
 "Why,' exclaimed Gene, The has the biggest feet I've ever seen. He has ankles like an elephant. I met him in hotel abroad and couldn't help noticing those feet in the car | pet slippers. Gracious,'
 Lost No Cash in Stocks
 Tunney lost neither money in the stock market debacle nor weight l abroad. He scales 192 1-o pounds. i just what he weighed the night he knocked out Tom Hecney in his 1 farewell appearance, and appeared ! to be in perfect health.
 ! Mrs. Tunney, fully recovered from an operation for appendicitis. was striking figure in long mink coat with hat. shoes and pockctbooE to match. Feminine reporters conidcd that Mrs. Tunnoy's skirt was cer- tainIy not long but wasn't exactly short either.
