Notwithstanding the fact that beat
the best amateur fighters In Phila-
delphia, and so1ne good professional
fighters throughout the country,
have only had three professional
fights In PhiIly, two of them "a

really hard up and in desperate

In Philadelphia, I've been suspended
twice, both times due to the fact
that 1 refused to allow myself TO
be fleeced by the chiSeling pronnot-
ers In this city. BY going to the
commission and raising plenty Of
hell succeeded in getting myself
reinStated both times, but there is
q quiet understanding among the
promoters In and around PhiladeI-
phia that Sammy Kovnat Is mot 10

THE only thing the smart boys
4 around this town did was to keep
on promising me fights. Meanwhile
they had me training and working as
q sparring partner for the best fight
erS in the world for as little as they
could get away with. Occasionally
they would come around and take
me aside. Got shot for you down
at the shore, but they don't want this
boy beat. Just lose decision, it's
pretty good money They knew from
previous experience that they couldn't
get me to dive. When I refused they
Just went away and got someone else
at cheaper price. Plenty Of tight
ers are hard up nowadays and do that
sort of thing cheaply enough for
them. And when I complained of
lack of fights they informed me that
I had just turned down a shot.
"Well, to cut long story short, I
finally jumped this chiselers' para
disc and went out Of town, where
things went fine until Wall Streets
office boy, F. D. Roosevelt, came into
office. Two days after he came in,
II you remember, he closed every
bank in the country and that put an
end to boxing, at least where I was.
when I got back to Philly things
were worse than ever before. Things
had frightened up, and they had all
the divers they wanted, so they didn't
bother much with offers to me. I
only got about three or four the first
week was home.
BOUT three months ago I got
RI the idea Of organizing the box
ers of Philadelphia into an eruity,
similar to that the actors have. Such
an organization would serve to
clean the racket OF all the parasites
and chiseleFs. Immediately drew
up n code of fair competition for
boxers lone that would insure the
boxers getting something decent
and went around to all the profess
sionA boxers TO sign it. I got prac-
tically all the fighters to sign it.

Retaliation
On Reich
BY international News Service

Disclosure that the United
States is considering drastic re-
taliation against Germany for
action proclaiming a moratorium
on all foreign debt payments was
made known at the White House
today.
President Roosevelt, it was
learned, recently asked Secretary
of State Hull whether any legis-
lation was necessary before Con.
gress adjourned to enable the
Government to take retaliatory
action.
Has Power to Act
Secretary Hull replied that it
was not necessary, and that,
under the foreign exchange Sec
tion of legislation enacted last
year, the Government has the
power to take whatever action
it deems necessary.
The President made it clear
that this Government has the
power to retaliate if it is deemed
desirable, but he said no decision
had been made yet and he did
not know whether the State De-
partment wanted to take such
action.
Disclosure that the Government
was considering retaliation fol-
lowed delivery of a strong protest
to the erman government
against the arbitrary proclama-
ton Of the debt moratorium,
which Suspends all payments to
foreign creditors and affects
American holders of more than
one billion dollars worth of Ger
man bonds.
Discrimination Feared
The American protest to Ger
many also warned that this Gov.
ernment would not tolerate dis
elimination against American
creditors. It was feared that
Germany might utilize the debt
payment as a trade, bargaining
weapon and give favorable treat
ment to those nations which in
creased their purchases of Ger
man goods. The State Depart

RACING BILL
KILLED BY
1OBJECT'
Measure for District Held to
Have Had Good Chance,
But for Sen. Capper
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

Legislation to permit the licens-
ing of a race track in the Dis.
trict was left in the scrapheap
as Congress adjourned last night
due to the mere II object" OF
Senator Arthur Capper (R.) Of
Kansas.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds
CD of North Carolina, called
up the District racing measure,
but it was junked Immediately
when Senator Capper of Kansas
said II object"
Nye Also Opposed
Although the Kansan was the
only one who voiced objection,
Senator Gerald P. Nye (R) Of
North Dakota said that he, too,
would have objected had he
been in the Chamber, when the
measure was called up.
Senator Capper later said that
his objection was based on the
fact that the District Commits
Sioners and the Federation of
Citizens Associations had not in
ordered the measure. He conceded
that had the measure come to q
vote the Senate would probably
have passed it. Senator Nye said:
81 do not think the legisla-
ton was Of an emergency
nature and it can just as we'll
wait for another session Of
Congress. Perhaps by then 1
will be satisfied as to the equity
of the proposal"
The measure. introduced by
Representative Loring Black Cd
of New York, had been approved
by the House District Committee,
passed by the House almost
unanimously, and had received
the sanction of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.
Bill Would Have Passed
Senator Reynolds said today
that had it been possible to bring
the measure before the Senate
for a vote, he was satisfied that
it would have been passed by q
large majority.
Senator Capper's action last
night will have the effect of
taking from the District estima-
ted annual revenues of about
$500 900. Had the legislation been
approved, considerable employ
ment would have been given in
this city, since attorneys repre-.
senting Mrs. John Hay Whitney
said she was prepared to spend
at least a million dollars on the
Benning track to make it one
Of the best tracks in America.

NOW
TO00LD, SAYS
REYNOLDS
Senator Hints at Fraud But
Holds Law of Limitations
Bars Action

Were 1t not for the statute Of
limitations, it is probable that
criminal prosecutions would be
recommended as a result of the
probe made by the Senate District
subcommittee into the financing
and proposed reorganization plan
Of the Mayflower Hotel, it was
suggested today by Senator Rob
ert R. Reynolds CD of North
Carolina, a member of the sub
committee.
This opinion was expressed by
the North Carolinan today after
a conference in which he took
part with Senator Hamilton F.
Kean (R0 Of New Jersey, chair
man of the investigating subcom-
mittee, and Elwood Seal, counsel
for the subcommittee.
Report to Be Drafted
At today'S conference plans were
laid for preparing the subcom-
mittee's report of the investiga.
tion on the basis of evidence
taken during the hearings, which
closed yesterday.
It was decided that Mr.. Seal
will prepare a preliminary report
on the basis of the testimony and
that the two subcommittee meri-
bers then will write final aud
complete report after scrutiny CT
MIR. Seals document. Senator
Reynolds estimated it will be about
two weeks before Mr.. Seals pre-
lminary report is ready.
Prosecution Blocked
While declining to mention
names, Senator Reynolds said
today:
81 believe that if the statute
Of limitations had not run on
some of these transactions, our
subcommittee would recommend
that the District Committee
make more thorough and de-
tailed inquiry into them with a
view to bringing about criminal
prosecution. However, these
transactions are now too old
and the statute of limitations
would prevent prosecution"

BALLOT
IS TEST FOR
NEW DEAL
73d Congress Sets Record for
Relief and Emergency
Appropriations :
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
: International News Service

The Seventy third Congress
passed into history today with
it's members homeward bound to
face the November verdict of the
people.
The prestige Of President Roose-
welt is at stake as his huge House
majority and many Of his Senate
leaders stand for reelection on his
recovery platform.
It was the Seventy-third Con-
greSs that enacted his program
into law, so it's members shared
his responsibility.
In With Landslide
The Seventy-third was born in
the Roosevelt landslide. 1t came
into office on the crest of q panic.
It honeymooned through an era
of crises. It died in youth, COM
pared with other Congresses, on
the eve Of the congressional elec-
tionS.
The adjournment sine die left
the Seventy-third with legisla'
tive record unsurpassed in peace
time history, Some of its legiSla:.
ton was reactionary, some OF 1t OF
unprecedented liberality. Its foes
called it's product revolutionary;
the President called it evolution
ary. -
Relief Measures Passed
It's last day was illustrative Of
its whole record. Then. it finally
enacted q 2,4Oe million dollar de-
ficiency appropriation bill, a to-
bacco licensing act, the Crosser-
Dill railway labor act with brand
new agencies for arbitrating rail
road disputes, a precedent-shatter-
ing Frazier-Lemke bill for grant
ing five-year moratoria on farm
debts, and a huge new Federal
housing program. -
The appropriation bill carried
huge sums for direct Federal un-
employment and drought relief.
From March 8, 1888, when it
met in special session, until it ad-
journed, this Congress appropri-
ated enough money to plunge the
National Government into debt to
point beyond the peak of war
indebtedpesS.
Issues Of Campaign
It shattered precedents Of all
time by carrying the Government
into the field of direct supervision
of business and of direct Federal
relief Of local distress. These de-
cisions will furnish the issues for
the forthcoming campaigns.
With all its activity, some legtS-
lation died with the Congress. It
failed to act finally on the cash
bonus bill for World War veterans.
It abandoned the Bulkley bill mod
flying the Glass banking act. It
