Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-05
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

AS the Commissioners prepare to
make their annual appearance before
the Budget Bureau, beginning tomor-
row, in support of the expenditures they
have outlined for the next fiscal year, 1t
brings once more to the minds Of local
taxpayers the question whether the
estimates for a municipality like the
City Of Washington should have to pass
through a Federal agency dealing pri-
marily with national needs and national
income.
During the nearly 10 years of opera
ton under the Federal budget system
the authority of the Commissioners has
been confined virtually to the task of
pairing down the requests of bureau
heads to a total figure fixed by the
Federal budget makers. This year there
Is a new element in the situation-the
Budget Bureaus plan of having final
estimates submitted without the fixing
Of preliminary limit-the effect Of
which will be awaited with interest by
District citizens
Heretofore it has been the custom Of
the Federal budget authorities to re-
ceive from the District Building in mid
Summer q preliminary summary of
what the city heads expected to ask
for. After scanning this report the
budget officials would set a tentative
total and say, you may submit as a
separate list of supplemental items
those things which have to be dropped
in the process Of pruning. The city
heads then went before the Budget Blu
reau and argued the relative merits Of
the two lists.
Priority of Needs.
Although the figures are submitted
this year without the tentative limita-
ton on total, the bureau has at the
same time directed all departments, in
Guiding the District government, to
make up their estimates with the order
OF priority Of increases marked on each
item. This Is to enable the bureau to
have before it the Judgment Of the de-
partment head as to where the cutting
should be done If 1t Is decided to trim
down the allotment Of q certain branch
OF the municipal machinery
This marking of priority, to some ex-
tent, serves the purpose of a set of
principal and supplemental estimates,
in that 1t indicates the relative i'm
portance of different projects The
Budget Bureau will still have the
authority, however, to exercise its
judgment as to the relative merits OF
items.
irrespective OF the effects that NAV
now from the new method of compil-
ing the estimates, q glance backward
through the nine years in which the
District has been subject to Federal
budget supervision, and a comparison
OF that period with the years prior to

SHARKEY-CAMP0L0
 FIGHT TOMORROW
Madison Square Officials Expect
 to Take a Big Loss

New York, Sept. A P-Officials Of Madison Square Garden are hop ing for the best but are fully pre- pared to take a big loss on the 15- round bout they are prom noting be- tween Jack Sharkey and Victoria Campolo at the Yankee Stadium Thursday night.
 All efforts to arouse a long suffer- ing boxing public to the merits, whatever they may be, of the. bout have failed and present indications are the gate" will not exceed the s1O0,000 guaranteed Sharkey. The Garden may be pleasantly surprised by a last minute rush of business that will boost the receipts bit, but it hardly seems likely.
 Sharkey, who climaxed a series of disappointing performances by fouling Max schmeling, seems to have lost all of his one-time powers as drawing card. Campolo. in the few battles he has had in this coun- try, has gained no hold on popular imagination.
 The Boston sailor, despite a leth- argic training campaign, rules a 2 to 1 favorite to beat back the big Argentine.
 Campolo can hit with his right hand and no one has doubted his courage but he seems too awkward and slow to hold Sharkey on any thing approaching even terms. His only chance for victory, in short, ap- pears to lie in the landing of one of those devastating right hands.
 The state athletic commission has temporarily lifted the suspension placed on Johnny Buckley. Sharkeys manager, so that Buckley may act as second for Sharkey Thursday night. The suspension, imposed in accordance with similar action in Rhode Island. will be operative again after the Campolo bout.
 Reversing a previous stand, the Garden announced the fight would be broadcast through station WEAF of the National Broadcasting con- pany.

PLAGUE CONTROL NOW POSSIBLE U. s. Health Department Points
 Out Recent Progress

Washington, Sept, 4 P1Sum- moned by Chinese authorities to combat beginnings of bubonic plague epidemic in Shansi and Shen- si provinces, Missionary pr. Percy T. Watson need not fear the relentless spread which made a whole world panicky in plague past.
 For bubonic plague, still the most important disease foe from an international standpoint, has felt the strong curbing power of the public health services of all nations.
 Plague Not Likely
 Surgeol General Hugh S. Cum ming, of the public health service, today said the bubonic plague pam demic of some 40 years ago in which about 25.oo0,oo0 people died, was not likely to be repeated be- cause of preventive measures which have been taken.
 All maritime quarantines, he pointed out, are directed primarily against bubonic plague. still so prevalent that the infection was reported present during the past year in all the great divisions of the world but Australia.
 Plague control methods, he said center on the rat that transmits the disease. chiefly the large Norway rat, a traveller. Inspections of cargo and crews, periodic fumigation of vessels from plague infested parts of the world, and unceasing vigilance in rat destruction are among the maritime quarantine measures to maritime introduction of the disease.
 Warnings of outbreaks likely to spread are furnished all nations through the international office of public hygiene with headquarters in Paris. Organized early this century, when the pandemic was still a vivid memory, this office headed an offen-

Hartford Sept. A The only Connecticut boxers ever to wear the ermine and purple of world S champion-Bat Battalino, the pres ent featherweight champion and Louis (Kid) Kaplan, his predecessor on that throne, clash tonight under the flaming. lamps at the big Hurley stadium in East Hartford.
 No bout in the history of this rug ged sport in the Nutmeg state has stirred as much interest as this meeting between the hard hitting titleholder and the rough and az gressive Kaplan.
 Promoter Ed Hurley, basing his estimate on an unprecedented ad- vance sale, predicts a gallery we'll in excess of 15,000 and a gate that will ride over $50,000 and may exceed the Kaplan-Herman gate at Water bury, which fell just short of S60,- 900, setting New England record which has stood.
 Connecticut fight lovers from every city and hamlet in the state will be on hand and there will be a notable attendance of men promi- nent in the official and business life of Connecticut, headed by Governor Trumbull and Lieut.. Governor Ro- gers who will occupy two boxes at ringside along with other state off cials.
 This battle, which was we'll more than year in the making, creates unique situation: First of all it brings together champion and an ex-champion; then they are fellow townsmen and each has been a fer vent booster for the other, none more persistent for Battalino in his meteoric rise than the squat and bull-like battler he is called upon to face in the ring this night; then it has divided the two nationalities, whence come the majority of box ing fans, into two rabid camps, the Italian fight lovers eager for Batta- limo victory while the Jewish fans are roofing for a win for the black haired East Sider, Kid Kaplan.
 kaplan is picked to win by @ ma Jority of the sports writers and by most of the fans as we'll, and he will be the favorite of a majority of the fans whose sympathies rarely are with & champion.
 The question of whether Kaplan can make 131 IA pounds and be strong and fast is the only disturb ing factor as Kaplan rooters pick him to beat the titleholder. Kaplan has looked strong and been his same old aggressive self in his daily work outs and he says he has not for feited one whit of power by slipping something more than two pounds below his normal weight Battalino IS expected to weigh around 129, so the margin will not be great though kaplan will pick up more weight than the champion in the interim between the weighing-in and ring time.
 Matchmaker Ed Hurley has ar ranged an undercard made up of five 6-rounders, all calling into ac- tion small boys - lightweights. featfierweights and bantams.
New Britain herald., 1930-09-24

We have already picked Kaplan as the winner In truth, we feel that Battalino hasn't any place in the same ring with the former feather weight champion. Making the weight of 131 1-4 pounds may weak en Kaplan considerably but there wasn't anything weak about his &C., tons at his training quarters at Hart's place on the HartfordBerlin turnpike.
