ONEPUNCHPUTS
VON PORAT OUT

CHICAGO. June 2l.-Young
Stribling, of Georgia, took his
place as one of the foremost con.
tenders for the newly-won crown
Of Max Schmeling today by virtue
Of his one-round knockout admin
iStered last night to Otto Won
Porat. heavy-hitting Norwegian.
Won Porat. to the surprise Of
20,956 spectators, a world record
for an indoor professional con-
test audience, took his place as
the Georgian fighters one hun
dred and twenty-second knockout
victim before the 1O-round battle
had really gotten under way.
A crushing left to the point
of the chin felIed the lanky
Norwegian for the count Of
10. Oddly enough it was the
same left that was i'm q cast
few days back. IL was this
same left that won Stribling
. two-day pOstpOnement Of
the bout. This was the first
knockout Won POrat suffered
since he met Martin Burke
i'm 1925.
Won Porat showed signs of
nervousness when the two fighters
came to the center of the ring
for instructions. Stribling, on
the other hand, appeared non
chalant.
At the bell Stribling led with
his left and jabbed the Nor
wegian's face. The Georgian
forced the fight from the outset,
apparently bewildering Won Porat
by his rush.
In the clinches StribIing dis
played his experience to good
stead by tying UP the Norwegian's
punishing right arm. Stribling
slasted Won Porat with a hard
right to the head, spinning the
Norwegian about. AS Won Porat
backed away Stribling caught him
with o left which landed flush
on the chin and knocked Otto
out for the count of 10.

BUILDING DECLINE
DECLARED LOGICAL
Report of Associated Gener-
al Contractors Is 0ptimis-
tic for Future.

The volume of construction performed
during January, 1880, declined 80 points
from the level of construction Job &C
tivities in December, according to q
statistical study just completed by the
Associated General Contractors of
America. This decline is seen as "a
logical result of the previous declines in
contract awards which became manifest
during the Summer Of 1929"
The outlook for the future is "ex-
ceptionally bright, however, since the
same statistical study reveals that the
volume of State and municipal bond
issues sold in December represents an
increase of 800 per cent over those of
November, and is equal to the largest
volume of such bonds sold in any month
since December, 1921, when a similar
large sale Of bonds ushered in the boom

after"
The proceeds from State and munich.
pal bonds are generally used in public
works construction, hence the contrac-
tors association looks forward to a
steady increase in construction activity
in this field beginning with next Spring.
A further development that indicates
an increase In construction activity is
seen in the passage of the Federal aid
appropriations bill by Congress, which

Acted for more than one party in a

Before denying an application for
license, suspending or revoking license
issued, the commission shall hold a
public hearing on charges which may
be initiated by the commission or other
parties presenting substantial proof
making prima facie case against a
salesman or broker.
The commission would be empowered
to subpoena persons in the District or
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-15

to have dispositions taken in other tu-
risdictions and would also have power
to require production of books and
other records. Any party to hearing
would have the right to subpoena wit
neSSes.
Can Compel Observance.
If a resident refuse to comply with
such subpoena, lawfully issued, the Su-
pren1e Court OF the District is directed
to issue an order to compel observance,
and failure would be punishable by
the court as contempt.
All findings of fact and questions
OF law involved in any final decision
by the commission would be subject to
review by the Supreme Court of the
District. Appeal may be taken from
the court as under civil actions.
Non-restdents Of the District could
obtain local licenses and the District
would recognize the license held by a
nonresident If issued by State having
similar code as that proposed here.
The clause designed to prevent the

provides an increase In Federal funds
to be used in conjunction with the
funds of the various States on the i'm
provement of highways. The new act
provides for S125 100000 per year for
each of the fiscal years 1881, 1882 and
1888.
Since the fiscal year 1881 begins on
July /, 1885, this increase in appropria-
tions is taken to mean that the volume
of highway construction during the
coming season will be increased by at
least 500 600, 900 over the volume that
would otherwise be undertaken. States
that match their funds against Federal
aid may let contracts early this Spring,
and by carrying the light early pay
ments required by such early starting
of operations can utilize the full volume
of Federal funds in the Summer months
when expenditures are heavy and prog
ress in construction is more rapid
