TODANS
.SPORTAPARADE.
Aa&6haD
BY HENRY McLEMORE


United Press Staff Correspondent
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May Is.
Jack Dempsey, the boy promoter,
led a iunket to this place hard by
the sad sea waves yesterday to al
low the boxing critics an oppor-
tunity to watch Max Baer in train
ing. After all the bother and ex-
pense Dempsey went to The char
tered the private railroad car in
which Alfred Smith stumped the
country in 1929 1t seems a shame
to report that Baer looked only
ordinary.
In fact, Baer or the Livermore
clouter as his mother calls him,
looked just like he did when he
fought King Levinsky in New York
year ago Feruary. And you know
how he was then. The greatest
fighter in the world from the neck
down. And the worst from that
point up. His training yesterday
consisted of seven rounds and dur
ing those seven heats he commit
ted all seven of boxing's deadly
sins. He telegraphed his punches.
He led with his right, He was hit
hard and often with all sorts of
punches, especially hooks and up
percuts. He paved. He lunged, And
he clowned.
And yet when the big Californian
finished and announced to all and
sundry that he would stop Max
Schmeling at the Yankee stadium
on the evening of June 8, you didn't
laugh. For with all his awkward
ness, Baer, 216 pounds of whale
bone and whipcord, is so tough, SO
mean and swings such a lusty pair
of dukes that you couldn't imagine
any man staying in there with him
over the championship distance of
Is rounds.
There can be no doubt that Baer
is a tough 'un, one of these rare
tough 'uns who delight when the
going gets toughest. He has proved
that in half a dozen fights, and he
proved it again yesterday. Believe
it or not, the Californian looked
best when he looked worst. What
we mean is, it was Immediately af-
ter being clipped that he was most
impressive. Stung by a clip on the
whiskerS or Wallop to the belly
he would lower his head and Charge
in, willing to take a dozen to get a
dozen or SO of his own in. And in
variably it was his opponent who
sounded the retreat.
Better Not Slug
Now Schmeling is no sparring
partner, but we'll wager you right
now that on those occasions on
June 8 when the two Makes stand
toe to toe and start swinging from
their spokes, it will be the German,
not the Californian, who will break
ground. Schmeling may lick Baer,
but he'll never do it if he's foolish
enough to try and swap punches
with him.
Two former world champions
were in the crowd that watched
Baer work yesterday, and both of
them took the time and trouble to
counsel the critics not to sell Baer
short on the strength of this work
out. One of the ex-champions was
Tommy Loughran, the other Pete
Latzo.
Loughran, who has fought Baer,
was particularly sold on the Cali
fornian.
HE looked terrible today" Tom
my said, Mainly because he was
pressing-trying too hard. But ev-
erybody is entitled to one off day.
I've been down here several days
now and have seen him in couple
of workouts that convinced me he
has enough to make it mean for
anybody, anytime

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BLIGHT AND BUREAUCRACY

Illustrating the bighting effects of bureaucracy,
let US pass in review the history of the bureau of
home economics.
The bureau got its start in the world by gift
from the congress of 100000 its specific work be-
ing defined as study of the dgestibity of differ
ent kinds-meaning sorts-of food for domestic
animals, including, We suppose, the house cat.
By and by the appropriation was doubled, with
the additional task imposed of finding out how hu-
Jared in the grip Of certain foods, more espe-
cially, we suppose, prunes and carrots
From 1887, when the thing started. to 1915,
doesn't seem so very long time, but grass doesn't
grow Under the feet of Washingtonians when it
comes to efficiency, it is called, for some bu-
reaus, and in that period CT time, something less
than thirty years. this particular bureau this home
economics concern, had accumulated staff of II
persons, and the appropriation starting at $4,000,
now amounts to $685. 900.
Like all the other bureaus, this one is great on
pamphlets, telling us, among other useful things,
'How to Dress for Sun Bath" and how hot the
oven should be when cooking reindeer, the latter a
probable gift from Santa Claus.

JUDGING FAME BY ITS SHADOWS
(By BRUCE CATION

When John Masefeld, the English poet,
landed in New York not long ago the news
papers recalled how in his youth he had
worked in a waterfront saloon there; and
this prompted F. P. A, the columnist, to
remark that ''ten times as many of us know
that John Maseield once worked in a sa-
loon as are able to quote two lines from
one of his poems
In this sardonic remark there is a good
deal of truth; and it applies not only to
Masefeld but to all manner of people who
enjoy prominent positions.
Fame, nowadays, is apt to be peculiar
thing. 1t thrusts the name of man before
thousands of people who aren't IN the least
interested in what the man does, and as a
result it is apt to make some of his least

important traits his best known attributes
We know all about Masefeld's saloon
lob, but, as the columnist remarks, we
can't quote his poetry.
We know exactly what Einsteln looks
like, we know that he likes to play the
violin and we know that he is deVout
pacifst: but not one of us in hundred
could give an intelligent description OF the
work that has made him famous.
We know that DIR. r. A. Millikan is
scientist who believes in God, but II our
lives depended on it we couldn't say what
his cosmic ray theory is all about, or what
it's implications are.
We know that Trotzky has been expelled
from Russia and can't go back, but we
haven't the foggiest notion of the doctrlnal
differences between him and the ruling
CLIQUE which caused his expulsion.
We know that Ramsay Macdonald stay
ed in office as prime minister of England
after his own party was showed under at
the polls, but we don't pretend to know
how he managed it, or what the act slgnl-
fed about British politics.
Most of us, in short, skate around the
fringes of important affairs without ever
understanding just what is happening. We
hear the echoes of great events and see the
shadows of great men, but that is all. We
lack the breadth and depth to study the
truths that lie back of them.

HERE is THE DEFECT

Mr. W. S. Lee has probably put his finger On the
main defect with the sef-iquidating projects which
the federal government, through the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation, will finance for states.
cities and counties, when he says that so far very
few of such projects proposed analyze as being
worthwhile and of such permanently good and
worthy nature as justifes the corporation in
financing.
In this matter, human nature is probably show
ing its normal course. When there is something t.
be easily gotter, it easily conjures impractical
schemes of local nature upon which expenditures
may be made through federal instead of local
financing.
Nevertheless it is regrettable that more valuable
and useful projects have not been developed
such as communities need and for which they have
funds of their own, such as would contribute to
the constructive Improvement of cities and coun-
ties on such basis the beneftting citizens would
be justified in paying for period of years as
prescribed by the corporation. Charlotte Observer

WASHINGTON. - Budget bal
w ancing, temporarily, seems to
be just form of monkey bust
ness.
Those of us who predicted that
this session of Congress would
come nowhere near. balancing the
budget may have hoped to be dis
appointed when Mr.. Roosevelt
called his impressive New York
conference with Democratic con-
gressiOnal leaders. But the pre-
diCtion stands, more emphatically
than before.
1t appears that Roosevelt
hadn't any revenue-economy pro-
gram to put up to the leaders, as
they expected, and that the lead
ers hadn't any program to put up
to him, as he doubtless expected.
So they just talked. And issued
a statement, part Of which OBJ
viously didn't mean anything, and
the rest Of whose meaning is a
matter Of dispute. For prospect
of action we wait, as usual, for
the special session of the next
Congress-

class was accompanied by differ

greement in individual statements
that no one can be quite sure

smart politicians, from Roosevelt
down the line.
Everyone has had a chance to
get sore at the proposal. The
small-salaried people and the
progressives are sore because it
hits at a class already hard hit
by income reductions and other
depression misfortunes. And sore,
too, are the conservatives who
want some action on q sales tax
and the proposed large cut in vet
erans' Xpenditures-two highly
important measures which are
said not to have been mentioned.
One recalls, also rather sourly,
that the House leaders recently
went into a huddle among them
selves and then announced that
they were seriously considering 4
sales tax. Everyone supposed
they had consulted Roosevelt
about it, but Roosevelt promptly
let it be known that he was Choir
rified," and that was the end Of
that.

A DDED to the other surprising
" - aspects Of the budget balanc-
ing whirligig among the Demo-
Gratis is the fact that everyone adj
mits the impossibility of passing
the income tax boost at this ses-
sion even if the leaders seriously
tried to put it over. Naturally,
that begets speculation as to
whether they didn't have some
hidden motive-such as propa-
ganda for the sales tax, the beer
tax or the Democrats.
Meanwhile, no major taxes or
economies have been agreed up
on, and it is doubtful whether
any intelligent, well-considereL
program OF taxation and economy
can be worked out at a special
session before the beginning of
Tie next fiscal year in July
