Baltimore Miss
Denies Londos
Engagement

BALTIMORE, June 20.-Jim
Londos, champion of all he
surveys in the grunt, growl and
agony racket is not engaged to
marry Miss Fifi-Dolores Coli
more, secretary Of the Italian
consulate, here.
The petite Miss Colimore,
who stands just barely five feet
in height and weighs SO pounds,
flashed her dark brown eyes
and shook her head Of bobbed,
black curly hair, and emphati-
cally denied the engagement.
"JutS look at me-" she said.
"Here I am just five feet tall.
How would I look against Mr..
LOndOs, who towers eight inches
over me and weighs 100 pounds
more?
"Am / in love with him? Am
I engaged to marry him? Will
/ marry him?
"The answer is no." she re-
piled after asking the ques-
tiOns.

may operate or whether he
shall shoot under the nose of a
subsequent or comparative show.
Unless some such regulatory
system is adopted, the boys are
going to kill off each other,
the public is going to become
disgusted, price-cutting methods
are going to be invoked and
poor, cheap cards result.
Some will say that it is the
promoters which to an
extent is so-but none can
deny it is the duty and re-
sponsibility of the commission
to save boxing for Washing
ton, rather than to let the
avaricious promoters check
mate each other to the extent
where even the well-meaning
ones can't afford to bring good
productions here because too
many competitors are per.
mitted to operate within a
given space of time.
Vua11Gy TO suffer
The Washington Times is
very anxious to see boxing pro-
tected in Washington, and it
realizes that during the in.
fancy of the sport is the hour
to look for the inherent weak.
nesses it presents.
If the field is thrown wide
open for rampant promotions
a shocking deterioration in the
quality Of sport is the only pos
sible outcome, because profits
will be negligible and you can't
purchase better talent than you
have money in the till to COM
penSate
Look around the ringside and
in the more remote sections of
the two clubs now operating.
You see pretty much the same
faces. They are the ones who
keep fighting going here. Do
you think they are going to sup
port boxing every night in the
week? Don't you think they
ever go to the movies or the lee
lures or the library or spend an
evening home?
The sooner Washington's box
ing board informs promoters
that they will license them, but
only to operate as the board
sees fit, rather than once
weekly, which seems to be the
custom to date, the nearer it
will be to solving a puzzle which
might develop into a very ugly
situation.

Fiermonte Bout
On Says Garden
Despite Dispute

NEW YORK, June 20.-An-
other feud between Madison
Square Garden and the New
York State Boxing Commission
was on today as a result of
the boards assertion that EMO
Fiermonte, young Italia a n
fighter who looks like a million
dollars and married many
more millions, does not deserve
a crack at Make Rosenbloom's
light-heavyweight title:
Promoter Jimmy Johnston,
of the Garden, retaliated with
the announcement that he
would go right ahead with
his plans to stage the match
on July 10.
Fiermonte, at his $250.000
training camp in the Swanky
Hamptons on Long Island with
his wife, the former Mrs.
Madeline Force Astor Dick,
continued to work out with his
sparring partners and declared
he was not worrying about the
commissions ultimatum, par
ticularly after what one men,
ber of the commission said
about Max Raer."
The fistic Adonis was re-
ferring to the statement by
Commissioner Bill Brown be-
fore the Baer-Carnera fight
that Make was not fit to
step in the ring with Carnera. :"

and the smoke of the first bat
tie had subsided somewhat.
Too late yes, but it made for
interesting and questionable com.
ment from all sides. as after all,
the decision was important;
would have been even more so
had it meant the losing of the
ball game by the Grlfis.

ton as quite out of the ordinary,
and mighty difficult to arbiters

Whatever the viewpoint, deci.
Sions of this sort have a ten

every likelihood the same situa.

Billy HOweU Leads
In Southern Amateur

NEW ORLEANS, La, June 20
Billy Howell, of Richmond, Va,
was leading the field by one stroke
today as the second 18-hole
qualifying round Of the Southern
Amateur Golf Championship got
under way. He equalled par with
a first round Of 25-36-71 yes

Edwin Mcclure, Louisiana state
champion; Jules Lazard, of New

The Washington times., 1934-06-20

An uulIllLldGeO DySCdnQer pro-
pounded the question to this
observer as to where all the
! fighters could be found to
keep these places going.
What he should have inquired
about was the matter of where
the spectators were coming
from to keep them open.
The Top Is Reached
It is quite obvious that WASH
ington has already reached the
absorption point in weekly fight
patronage. If the Stadium and
the Hunt Club can keep going
on the average attendances
which have greeted their pro-
ductionS since their respective
openings, the fight appetite here
will be well Satiated.
Yet, the plan is to give the
town additional dishes of the
same menu, and there is grave
doubt in this observers mind
that Washington can take more
such nouriShment.
Here is a problem which the
boxing commission is going to
have to solve, else fisticuffing in
washington is going to suffer
an early demise. In Baltimore
the sport was killed because too
many places were licensed. The
Monumental City is now the
graveyard of fighting on the
Atlantic Seaboard. Wrestling is
in a. much healthier condition
there now than boxing.
Don't Glut the Town
The same situation may we'll
arise here unless a serious study
is made with a view to regulat-
ing or alternating shows SO as
not to glut the town with more
punching than it can absorb.
Apparently the District fight
fathers are sitting back and
letting a process of elimination
take place. That is a passive
attitude which does not behoove
this group Of smart men. Their
job is to study any situation
which arises and find the an
sWer. No commission in any
part of the country has greater
power to act. The law here
binds it in but very few re-
Spects.
The commission. cannot with
equity, deny any promoter who
can make the bond. an oppor-
tunity to open his gates, but it
can with perfect justification to
the general welfare Of the sport,
control the number Of times he

HLO1STERED liberals who still
" nourish illusions about the i'm
Partially of the capitalist press and
conceive of fascism as a phenom-
enon reserved for Central Europe,
VIII probably be surprised to learn
that a definitely fascist anti
working class campaign is now being
conducted by the PENNSYLVANIA
Newspaper Publishers Association.
Details of the campaign are out
lined in the current issue of the
Guild Reporter, news organ of the
militant American Newspaper
Guild. They disclose that the pub
fishers, without taking their en-
ployes or the newspaper reading
public into their confidence, have
been working toward the enact
ment Of legislation this winter de-
signed to limit the workers right
to strike.
The association Is circulating
among all publishers a series of
pamphlets entitled, 1.-THE Newspapers
and the New Deal" These pam
phlets, which are published in
Nashville, Tenn, carry no union
label. They take up labor legisla-
ton from the standpoint of the
newspaper employer" according to
the introduction to the pamphlets.

Propose Anti Strike Legislation

Ihls is different viewpoint from

recommend for the Guild, the en-

AS outSpoken statement of fas-
cist creed as can be found any,
where is the associations conten-
ton that:
In the opinion of many who
have given careful study to this
situation, no measure will be eff
fective to settle industrial disturb

What Interpretation can be placed
even by a liberal upon the request
that illegal strikes be made unlaw-
full other than that it is one with
the policies of Hitler and Mus
solini.
The series of pamphlets, while
not hiding the fact that the pub
fishers point of view is repre-
sented from the standpoint of
profits, lrges legislation requiring
that workers organizations act in
what the articles call "the pub
lie interest" Can it be that what
the publishers really mean is legis-
lation in "the employers interest,"?

New Theatre Group
Organized in Phila.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The New
Theatre Group, recently organized
on workshop and studio basis,
has already enlisted rs actors, di-
rectors, playwrights. scenic design
ers, musicians, dancers and stage
technicians. The Production Coun-
Gil has begun work. on the first
presentation, which will be "Too
Late To Die" four-act play, by
a local playwright, Christopher
Wood.
Mr.. Wood is the author of 1.-THE
Cow Jumps Over the Moon" a
study Of the family life of Jewish
immigrants, which was produced in
1893 by the Sutton Theatre Play
house of New York City. He is also
the author of a dance pantonime,
ITO The Manner Born" which has
yet to be produced.
The New Theatre Group an
nounces that membership is still
open to those who desire to par
ticipate actively in dramatic pres
entations, as well as those mem
bers of the play-audience who are
interested in attending lectures on
the drama, and helping in the or
ganizational development of the
Group. All such are invited to

were not ripe for socialism and
would not be ripe soon. Trotsky
started with the same line when he
proceeded to the uprising. For he
stated directly that unless the VIC
torious proletarian revolution in
the West would be in time to assist
in the none too distant future, it
would be stupid to imagine that
revolutionary Russia could hold its
own against conservative Europe"
Stain contrasts the reservations
of Trotsky, Kainenev and Zinoviev
on the uprising with Lenin's rev.
olutionary approach. He cites
Lenin's article, "The Military Pro-
gram Of the Proletarian Revolu-
tion," published in September, 1917.
Lenin wrote:
Socialism victorious In one coun-
try does not by any means at one
stroke preclude all war in general.
On the contrary, it presupposes
wars. 1t inevitably follows from
this that socialism cannot be VIC
torious in all countries simulta-
neously. 1t will be victorious first
in one or in several countries while
the others will for some time re-
main bourgeois or pre-bourgeois.
This ought to give rise not only to
friction but to an outright endeavor
by the bourgcoisie of other coun-
tries to crush the victorious pro-
letariat of the socialist state. In
such event war on our part would
be legitimate and just. 1t would be
a war for socialism, for the liberia
ton of other peoples from the
bourgeoisie."

The Saar is German. But where is Germany?
On the globe it lies between the 55h 47th parallel
And you search for Germany the the EARTH
You find right between the 18th and 47h parallel:
A camp
Where high-hnanc is king
And Hitler dictates Hunger
And spurs beast of war
Where teachers the poison gas
And culture her brood of DEATH
Where steel mills turn the cannons out
This is the land upon the globe
Which lies between the 55tb and 47th neraIIs1
Is this land Germany? No
And if it were, then demand
That Germany be changed
If now seek for Germany then ask
For the land where the barbed wire begins
And where justice cannot pass
The direction, exact than any map is:
1t is the land where hangmen-get the best paid work
Can this be Germany?
No! And if it were, say:
Germany must be changed.
People of the saarI From out your soil

the political report of the Central
Committee to the Fifteenth Con-
