NEW YORK, May 27-Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty, two prudent young
men, have figured out the COMPARE
tive hazards of flying around the world
and trying to cross a busy street-and
they've decided to fly around the
world.
I'VE got an expert to look over our
motor" said Post at the Hotel Bit
more today. "Then We figured out
our chances. We found we had some
thing like 3l2 chances of getting hit
by an automobile for every one chance
that the motor would stop when 1t
wasn't supposed to.

Post, who used to do what he called
"roughnecking' in Oklahoma Oil fields,
and Gatty, an Australian marine naVi-
gator, hope to start for Harbor Grace

as Or. James H. Kimball, weather man,

1891 already has been exceeded by more
than per cent, and planting L. still
In progress in some districts.
The Soviet governments commissariat

tares (about 100000 acres) had been
planted up to May 20. which is so per
cent more than the 1890 acreage.
The increase in the number of tractor
stations throughout agricultural Russia
is pointed out as insuring larger crops
for 1881 than for the previous year
There are 1927 stations, with 46.700
tractors cultivating over $4,000 900 hec-
tares (about 44.460 900 acreS) on 1854

that he was being dismissed because
the chairman of the board of trustees
Julius Stone, wanted me out, regard
less of my ability and wishes of the
faculty."
Parents Complain.
Besides the Indian speech, the
trustees statement said there had been
many complaints from parents of stu
dents since Prof. Miller came here in
1924 concerning his teachings on racial
relations. Prof. Miller has upheld the
equality OF all races.

Carnera-R
Battle Is Awful

NEW YORK, June l6. {U.D =
Primo Cameras status among
heavyweight boxers remained un-
certain today, despite the big Ital-
ian's one round knockout victory
over Pat Redmond of Ireland. Red
mond, who lasted only two minutes
and "a seconds in his scheduled 10
round bout against Camera at Eb-
belts field, Brooklyn, last night, held
undisputed right to ranking as the
worlds worst heavy-if, indeed, he
deserves any ranking at all.
Redmond either was unable or un-
willing to make even a pretense of
being a fighter once he entered the
ring and the 10000 spectators who
donated $500 to witness Promoter
James j. .Johnstons "frolic of
freaks" left the arena with only
one definite conclusion-that the
show had been even poorer than
cynical sports writers had predicted.
Preliminary bouts were poor
enough to inure the crowd to the
prospects of the main go, and botf.
Pat and Primo drew enthusiastic:
applause wnen they entered the
ring. What little cheering was done
after the bout was limited to Car
nera's enthusiastic countrymen, who
hailed his victory as proof that he
is the greatest fighter OF all time.

day, 9 to 3, driving Bob Smith from

FEUD WILL Be
FOUGHT AGAIN

Two rematches from the best card
ever shown. at the Imperial Valley
Athletic club, will be the chief at
traction at the club Friday night.
Last weeks card was declared to
be the greatest ever. and those who
saw il will net dispute the claim.
The main eyenters on that card.
Sammy Aguirre and Pete Toft.
have been rematched for the same
SPOT this week. For eight rounds
they battled with little to choose
between them. first one fighter be-
lng.on the floor, only to get up and
send his opponent down in his
place
It was the widest and freest-
swinging battle staged at least
since the Joe Brown-Georgie Good
rich fight.
Tcft jumped into the ring at
short notice when Teddy Palacios
snd Joe Ccntreras, who were booked
for the main event, were unavail-
able. The tow-headed southpaw
looked like a set-up to the fans as
he sat in his corner. but the open
ing round had just started when he
had Sammy in a bad way, down on
the canvas for a six count.
After the fight Bill Tackett re-
vealed that both fighters had told
him not to give a decision on a foul
Swinging freely as they were there
were any number OF low blows
None was intentional and the boys
either grunted harsh words at each
other, or touched gloves, and went
on fighting.
Hell knock me out or I'll knock
him out. Aguirre told Tackett be-
tween rounds. Don't call a foul
Bill, whatever you do" And loft
told him the same thing. Sammy
didn't mean those low ones, but
I'll knock his block off just the
same. Don't stop us unless one or
the other is counted out"
The other rematch is the Andy
Armstrong frankie West affair
They went six rounds last week
with West getting the decision when
Andy slowed up under heavy body
punishment. This bout will be un-
lQue as the boys are 1lgntlng VIM
ner take all, and Maljan, the wat
ermelon king, will act as judge,
calling each round like 1t. Jack
Kennedy does. If Andy can fight
six rounds the way he did the first
three last week, he can lick West,
but he will have to battle all the
way to do it.
Vincent Solano and Rush Torto-
lis, a new Filipino flash, will travel
six rounds or less. Solano showed
last week and the week before, that
ne can fight like his brother Mike
used to fight here under the name
of Kid Mex. Tortolis has the repu-
tation for being fast moving, had

 IS DISCUSSED

Must Take Care of Pros- pective Deficit of
 $700, 100000

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 28. Whether the Government will increase taxes to meet the pros pective $7OO0OO,000 deficit is being discussed. the Treasury prepared to issue s1o0,ooo,00o in 90-day bills to help counter the deficit to pay veterans loans.
 Progressive Senators Norris and Borah and Representative Frear, of Wisconsin, are in favor of tax increase.
 Senators Reed of Pennsylvania and Walsh of Montana are against the increase in taxes.
 Senators Norris wants increases in inheritance taxes and levy on larger incomes.
 Senator Reed said instead of in- creasing taxes, Congress should re- fuse handouts to soldiers and farmers. The present tax rate yields enough for ordinary expenses. If Congress develops courage to say no there will be no need for in creases in taxes"
