Edison Showed Inter
est in Soviet, Son Says

NEW YORK.-Representatives of
the Academy of Sciences of the Sow
let Union placed a wreath on behalf
OF the Academy upon the grave of
its late honorary member, Mr..
Thomas A. Edison. In reply to this
tribute Mr.. Charles Edison made the
following statement:
ION behalf of the family Of the
man you are honoring today, I de-
sire to express the sincere apprecia-
ton we feel for your act.
I'VE are at the grave Of one who
watched with deep and friendly in
terest the tremendous laboratory of
Russia. There Is no one who had a
more understanding and sympathetic
comprehension Of the immense scope
and the far-reaching effect of the
experiments that are being enacted
there.
HE has at last laid down his pen
ell. But where his experiments end
those Of the Russian people are be-
ginning. Through them, a civiliza-
ton will again be recast, not by war
and bloodshed but through the ire
sistible pressure of intelligent work
well done.
ITO the men Of science in Russia,
whom the Academy Of Sciences rep
resents and whose privilege it Is to
influence largely the character of the
new world that Is building. I again
say, thank you for your tribute to
Thomas Alva Edison"

PACHO-SOLDIVAR BOUT OFFERS
TEMPTING ATTRACTION FOR FANS

Bargain rates for the men. with
ladies admitted free. and Bobby
Pacho heading the card in a fight
that should extend him to the lin
ii, offers a combination at the I'M
perial Valley Athletic club tonight
that will be hard To beat.
Joe Soldivar is the boy who should
make Bobby show the fans some
thing more than a quick first round
knockout. Pacho has been doing
that sort Of thing in all his fights
for months past. and the fans have
not been able TO see much OF him
even though the boys whom he has
met were highly touted, before COM
ing here.
SoldiVar promises to be better
than many OF these supposedly good
bows. He showed last week what he
could do by handing frankie Are
gon a trouncing. True il is that
Frankie has slipped back from the
rip-snorting fighter he was a few
years ago. but he is still tough
opponent for any boy OF his weight.
Off-setting whatever slipping
frankie may have done is the fact
that Soldivar was fighting his first
lo-round bout and he was also fac
ing q southpaw for the first time.
He made good and got the fight
with Pacho that was supposed 10 be
Frankie's.
Aside from frankie Kick, who
took the decision from Pacho two
weeks ago at Hollywood, none OF the
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-27

coast featherweightS have been able
TO do anything with Pacho. And
right now he is yearning for an
other crack at Klick, feeling GER
tain that he can not only trounce
him but that he can knock him out.
Bobby got off TO q slow start in the
Kick fight and never did warm up.
Any boy who climbs into the ring
with Young David is certain TO find
plenty of fight before he climbs out
or is dragged out, and that is what
faces Babe Adams of st. Paul, who
is booked to go six rounds with the
David Busy Fighter
David is like a flock of buzz saws
once he swings into action and he
has not only worlds OF speed but he
can hit and hit hard. He wastes
no time in the ring and throws
leather from start TO finish. For
some reason Davids full value has
never been fully appreciated in the
valley There is quite a story be-
hind the little Filipino that can be
told at another time.
Not mucn Is known OF Adams, eX-
cept that he has been blasting the
hopes Of good young men around
st. Paul. Minnesota, and decided TO
come west after he ran out OF com
petition. He has had several fights
on the coast and has made a good
showing in each.
Luis Reyes, the Brawley boy who
fools them just because he happens
TO have the start of q bay window.
viii be in the special spot and has
drawn Melvin Bobo for his oppo-
nent. Luis is due for a good scrap
and the fans will want TO see Bobo,
who has won the reputation of be-
ing a screen clown. A fighter with
a sense of humor in the ring is a
novelty.
Florencio Villa has had consider
able success against Pilino Kilat and
will take on Pilino Garcia tonight
in the opener to see if all PilinoS
are alike.
The first fight will be called at
$3.50 with top price Of $50 reign
ing for ringside seats, and plenty of
free parking space for the family
flivVers.
