Ferndale, N. F., May s5--It now appears almost . certainty that Barney Ross is to weigh Ut . fig ure between 130 and 137 for his ensuing important i6-round well tcrweight title meeting with Jim- my MeLarnin in the dardon Long Island bowl on Monday night. Ross pounds through tho final stages of training averaging 130 pounds; that is, whom ho stops on the scales following the days training tolls.
 But the weight question is of little conoorn to Barney Ross and hls managers, Art Winch and Sam Plan. we don't care if he weighs 132 as long as he is right" said Plan. "But tho fact that ho Is weighing i3s now with careful training certainly disprovos tho no- ton that Barney is no longer | legitimate lightweight"
 As long as Ross Is "rlght" Is all that matters, indeed, and tho dlf. ference tn weights between Bnrney and Mcfarnln is not % assume too important part ln this battle bee ring. At f36 or i37 Barney Ross will Do Ut his fastest, his strongest and hls best. Ills best fighting weight hns been determined to bc between iJA and i37.
 The Broadway boys, headed by Dave Kieckner, owner of New York's famous eating place, Davo's Blue Room, looked Barney Ross over the other day here In the Grossinger indoor arena and placed their stamp of approval upon the lightweight champion. Ross has been displaying such superb all around glove skill in his daily per- formances 1t would not surprise many if ho goes into the ring against McLarnin the favorite. Jus tat present the betting is ai- most even.
 In the memory of the writer, who saw his first training camp at Toledo when Dempsey won the title from Jess Willard, the hustle, ado and intense excltcmtnt to be seen daily here at Barney Ross camp has seldom been equailcd. Ross attrOcts largo daily crowds to his performances and Grossinger Country club estate is ever swarm.

 The Ross left hook--the weapon expected by his adherents to bring him victory against McLarnin-- was given quite an airing in the tn- door arena the other day here. In the days first round, with a mid- dleweight outweighing him by ID pounds In the ring, Ross uncorked a short left hook that travelled scarcely two inches and the shar- mate found himself in a dazed con- dition on the canvas. The sparring partner, Harry Alexanian, of Wor- cester, Mass, later said it was the best punch of its kind he ever saw--or felt. Alexanian said it was 10 unexpected and short no man in the world could have avoided 1t. Rcss went through his entire performance in . glove fiinging fashion that entire day and; as a result, completed one of his most sensational workouts ever wit messed in tarining camp.

CAPPER ASKS GUARD
ON PRESS FREEDOM
Publisher-Senator Says Slightest
Encroachment Must Be
Fought.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ed Press
A warning against curtailment of
the freedom Of the press was sounded
in the Senate yesterday by Senator
Capper Republican, of Kansas.
A publisher himself. he said it was
not only the duty of publishers but of
Congress and the people Ito preserve
at all times freedom of speech and
the press and to resist the slightest
encroachment upon that freedom.
whether intentional or inadvertent"
He submitted for the Congressional
Record the report on freedom of the
press adopted at the recent meeting
OF the American Society of Newspaper
Editors in Washington.
1t deserves the earnest attention
of every thoughtful and patriotic
citizen" Capper said.
All over the world We have seen
personal liberty curtailed, in some
countries practically abolished, in the
last few years
The first step in nearly every in
stance has been to muZZle the press.
When freedom of the press goes.
freedom Of speech, freedom of assem-
blage, freedom of action such as is
guaranteed by our Constitution and
the Bill of Rights, inevitably follows. "
He added it was the editors duty
to insist upon freedom of press in
any code "and they should not have
been criticized for protecting the
freedom OF press and speech.

CLASH IN LAWS SENDS
WHISKY BACK TO MAKERS
U. S. Contends Kentucky Ship
ment to Missouri Was Mis-
labeled and Adulterated.

KANSAS CITY. MAY 80 CP.-
Whisky seized by Federal agents here
two weeks ago in the warehouses OF
the T. j. Pendergast Wholesale Liquor
Co. and the Midwest Distributing Co..
yesterday was ordered returned to
the makers, the BrOwn-Forman Dis
tillery Co., Louisville, KY, by Judge
Albert L. Reeves.
The whisky was seized on the
ground that it was mislabeled, adul-
telated and issued in violation OF the
Federal pure food and drug act.
The difficulty, 1t was explained in
court. was due to clash between
Kentucky and Federal laws. A rep
resentative of the distillery said the
whisky had been labeled for medici-
nal use only because it was re-
quired by a kentucky State law
which since had been repealed.
Assistant United States District At
torney Curtis pointed out that Federal
laws prohibited such labels on any
whisky 4 years old or less. The
whisky under dispute was allegedly
under that age.

As crises 60 in Europe. this one has

for Hitler and the French TO shake

None of the nations at heart really

sure about Russia while war with
japan is possibility.
