There Is still q Dit OF ConLro-
yersy regarding Graham Nc
Namee's broadcast Of the Schme-
ling -Sharkey bout. Some have 1t
that Mr.. McNamee did q fine job
by himself and the .N.B.C., while
others still like to bring up the
very sore point that there was
as much confusion as ever and
| 1t was just another case Of
''NOw Jack-I mean Max, no

no, my mistake, he missed .
right"
But then, there are always
those who will find fault and
even If some did shear the an
guished tones Of a fellow reviewer
Of the bout plead
Don't tell them that"
when Mr.. McNamee shieked,
'Tts . knockout"
at the fatal blow, which won the
title for the German, you'll all
agree that for the most part the
microphone ace was not so bad
-" that is If you went to the
trouble of checking him UP in
the sports columns. He managed
to label the moves almost per-
fectly and gave those who at
tended the bout from overstuffed
armchairS a mighty accurate ac-
count of what wasn't altogether
the most exciting fight that has
graced our sporting pages.
The United States of America
stands to profit by a United
States of Europe" according to
James G.. Mcdonald, interna-
tionalist, who will discuss the
problem over a NB.C. network
this evening at 6:15 o'clock.
That the question Of a United
States of Europe" has ceased to
be academic, is the opinion ex-
pressed by Mcdonald. A few
weeks ago the French foreign
minister startled the chancellories
Of Europe by formally proposing
for consideration a draft form of
a federation for the Continent,
exclusive of Russia.
Mcdonald further contends
that in many quarters in this
country the proposal of the
United States Of Europe" has
been interpreted as anti-Ameri-
can. 1t need not necessarily be
so. Any effort such as this to
help remove the many tariff bar
riers among the European states
and promote the flow of COM
merce should be welcomed. Un-
less we ourselves prejudice our
foreign trade relations, any inn
provement in the economic life
of Europe Is bound to have a
good effect here.
Byrd's recent flight oyer the
South Pole area has furnished r.
L. Believe It or Not" Ripley with
many new "queerioSities" which
he plans to tell over an N.B.C.
network during the Colonial Bea-
conlights program this evening at
$3.50 o'clock.
Ripley will prove that an ice
berg is hot, not cold; is black,
not white. At the time of Byrd's
flight over the North Pole, he
held no pilots license. The South
Pole is the hottest" place in the
world. It isn't the South Pole,
anyway, but the North Pole.
Byrd's plane has flown in two
directions at once. And there are
other "queerioSities" in store. A
concert orchestra supplements
Ripley's talk.
