BACKED
TO END FOULS
Would Count Out Amy Boxer
Who Goes to the Floor
Claiming Low Blow
By EDWARD J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, March 27-CR-The
Ancient Order OF Fight Managers,
the gray boards who should know,
have a few thousand words to say
Oh the subject OF the foul plague
that is tearing today at the throat
Of their favorite pastime.
The cry for action. legislation that
viii definitely curb the evil. has
reached such a pitch within the
past few months that a half dozen
boxing commissions have increased
penalties for low punching. Law
makers are watching the political
weathervane for the possibility Of
repeating the Walker boxing law IN
New York state. So far the fistic
profession itself has had no oppcr-
tunity to suggest a cure.
But the managers have a cure. It
calls for the immediate counting
out OF q fighter who goes 10 the
floor claiming foul. II would pun
ish the scant minority of the limo
cent who really have been hit low
with the great majority of the gull
" who either are deliberately fax
ing or taking advantage Of a tech
nicality.
This suggestion. backed by Leo
p. Flynn. who managed Jack Demp-
sey's last comeback; Dan Morgan,
pilot OF the former ~welterweight
champion. Jack Britton, Frank
Backman. mentor Of Maxey RoSen-
bloom and many others. Is built
around the idea that no good fight
er will stay on the floor, foul o. no
foul, # he knows the referee IS about
10 count him out. These managers
b-ieve an incapacitating foul is the
rarest thing in the boxing business.
Minor fouls. they insist, are just
ordinary incidents IN the game de-
signed for he-men.
Jimmy Bronson. chief second for
Gene Tlnney, adds one qualitica-
ton to that plan. He would per-
NIT examination by a physician af-
ter the match and a reversal Of the
decision # the loser had been badly
fouled.

 "CATERPILL.ARp
 IN AIR INDUSTRY

Pictures of Caterpillar" Tractors, large and small hauling planes, build ing runways. laying drainage sys- tems. maintaiaing landing fields. pull ling stumps, removing snow, and do- ing odd jobs around the shops, make up the latest booklet from the press 0f the Caterpillar Tractor Co.,, under the title. "Anports and Rirways."
 The pictures show construction, maintenance and operation. They show versatility, the secret of Cater pillars" successful invasion of our newest and fast-growing industry. The same tractor that hauled elevat- ing graders and scrapers to build the port, slips easily into the role of maintainer. Just as naturally, does it supply power to move the big "birds" from hangar to runway and back again But the most important story of the book is told by the pie lures of maintenance work. Leyelers and planers. pulled by tractors build safety into runways. Smooth, rut- free runways assure safe. landings and eiimznate take-off hazards
 The booklet will interest everyone with an earth moving and mainten- anee problem. Ie tells the additional story of operation to airport maa- agers and city and county airport commissioners. Copies are available at the local desaer's office, and at the factories in San Leandro, California. You can obsain this booklet from your own local dealer. d. B.

Not only did the Hoover Administration surrender at
the London naval conference the established naval
policy of the United States for the last nine years. but
it seems to have surrendered that policy without the
for1nality of real struggle.
The American people were given to understand that
the administration would insist upon retaining the right
to build at least 81 eight-inch gun cruisers
But the Senate is now told by rehabe witness that

AS early as February last, the delegation was
warned by Admiral JONES' it's ablest and most exper-

number of eight-inch gun cruisers below q for the
