INSURED INDUSTRY
LOANS CONSIDERED
Legislation Proposed to
Provide Up.to.Date
Machinery.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Federally insured loans to give
industry up-to-date machinery were
said authoritatively yesterday to be
the basis of proposed new legislation
being worked out by officials Of the
Federal Housing Corporation.
Ofiicial sources contended such
Legislation would give a potential out
let of from $1,000 ,0O0. 900 to $4,000
000. 900 of steel. iron and other capital
goods. A simple change in the hous-
ing act. 1t was said. would accomplish
the result sought.
Mortgage Market Sought.
Along with this amendment, these
officials added, there was under con-
temptation one which would help to
provide a ready market for mortgages
obtained by the Housing Corporation.
This was described as one Of the diff
culties that SO far had slowed the
lending of the corporation for home
building and modernization.
To achieve this purpose, officials
said, a mortgage discount agency
probably would be set up. Such an
agency would handle not only mort
cages for home loans but prospective
loans from the plant modernization
insurance plan.
Quick Use Is Seen.
One official who has made a recent
tour of the country said there was
no doubt but that business would be
quick to take advantage of a provision
for such loans.
They have orders on hand for
goods which they can't fill because of
the lack OF facilities" he said.
The plant modernization loans
would be handled by the Housing
Corporation and these mortgages given
the same discounting outlet that is
contemplated for housing mortgages.

as he does"

CONTROL
Of COAL FORESEEN
Bituminous Men Submit
Plan to N. R. A. to Pre-.
vent Price Cutting.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Stricter governmental control of the
Nations soft coal industry was fore
seen today as a leading potential
result of a plan submitted to N. r. A.
by coal men seeking to forestall q
wave of price cutting.
Formulated by a committee headed
by John D. A. Morrow, president of
the Pittsburgh Coal Co., the plan was
described by informed sources as
suggesting, among other things, ap-
pointment of a permanent national
arbitration board for the industry.
Sees More U. s. Control.
Disclaiming complete knowledge of
the plans details, Wayne P. Ellis, act
ing divisional administrator, inter-
preted appointment of such a board
as meaning increased Federal control
in the industry.
Questioned whether the industry
would react favorably to such a plan,
Ellis replied:
II think they're about ready for it."
1t was recalled this represented O
radical change in the attitude of lead
ing bituminouS coal operators, most of
whom fought bitterly during negotia-
ton of the coal code against anything
that smacked of governmental con-
troll.
The plan, submitted to the Recovery
Administration yesterday, was aimed
chiefly at strengthening price provi-
sions of the code.
Urges Public Hearing.
The administration arranged to
have the plan studied by the legal di-
vision and, it was learned, suggested
a public hearing on the proposals be
scheduled as soon after January as
possible. A definite decision on the
latter angle would be made shortly, it
was said.
N. r. AS recent announcement 1t
was opposed to rice-f1xing except in
certain industries, including coal, was
understood to have contributed to the
present situation. The season for ne
gotiating coal contracts between pro-
ducers and large consumers is ap-
preaching, Ellis said, and the opera
tors are fearful that consumers, wary
of abandonment of price-controls, will
refuse to sign.

 EXHIBITION TOUR
$l3,2OO Gate Recorded Last Night as Tilden
 Defeats Vines in Hub

Boston, Jan. 16-(UP)-EIls4 worth Vines and Bill Tilden, prima donnas of professional tennis, were all square, somewhat veal thier, and extremely weary today as they pointed toward Providences R. l., fifth halt on their cross country tour.
 A crowd of 11,500 paid a total of $13,200 to see Vines defeat Tli- den at Boston Garden last night in a almost fiawless match that endured through five sets, 6I games and two and a half hours. The scores were 12-14, 4-6, 6-4s Gel, 6-2.
 It was the second successive vic- tory, for the rangy Californian newest convert to the professional ranks, and left him and Tilden with two wins apiece. Tilden won the opener at New York, and the Philadelphia match. Vines won for the first time at Washington Satur- day.
 Last nights battle was the first to go the full five sets. Because of the decisive fashion in which ho ran off the last two sets 1t left Vines with an edge in total games won, 92 to 87. The fifth and decid- ing set was much closer than the 6-2 score would seem to indicate. Vines got the jump by busting through Big Bills cannonball serv- ice in the first game, and dupli- cated the stunt in the seventh. But Tilden gave the fans plenty to cheer about as he brought the fourth, sixth and eighth games to deuce before letting Vines hold service. Bill fought to deuce no less than seven times in his efforts to | take the fourth game.

Brooklyn Y Leaders Clash TOnite in Feature Game
 of Triple Bill

In what should prove to be the best junior game of the season will be played tonight at the Brooklyn Y when the Shadows, last years city junior champs, meet the Rev. mond Hillies in the feature game of a triple header at the Y hut. In the first game of the night the Fall cons will meet the l.. R. c. A. and the semi-final will bring together the Eagles and Speedboys.
 Undefeated to Date
 The Hillies are undefeated to date in the league and 8 triumph over the Shadows will practically assure them Of going through the first round undefeated, as they have only the Speedboys to get by after tonight's game. On the other hand a win for the Shadows will cause a three way tie between the Hillies, Shadows and Eagles.
 Minus Star
 For the first time this season the Hillies will enter the game the underdog. The doughboys will be minus the services of Joe Pompon- 10, who is suffering from poison ivy and it is not likely to see serv- ice tonight. Pomponio until last week was leading scorer of the 1ea- que and his absence will be felt by the Hillies. The rest of the line- Up for the Hillies will be the same as has been burning up the league for the past four weeks and will line up with Cunha and Walker. the latter taking the place of Pom ponio, at forwards, Ramon at cen- ter, and Sullivan and Brophy in the rear court.
 Shadows Strong
 The Shadows will take the floor with practically the same team that gave them the city title last year, the only change being Zacks at the center position. The prob- able starting lineup of the Sha- dows will be Richie Capaldo and Al Baker at forwards, Zacks at center, and Johnny Snug and George Martone in the rear court.
 Director Mel Kelly has arranged for extra seating capacity tonight and it is expected that when the Hillies and Shadows take the floor that the Y will be packed to ca- pacity.

 RY HENRY McLEMORE


 BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, Jan 16.-UP)- There has been so much talking and so little fighting in the fight business of late that it is a pleasure to learn that Barney Ross and Billy Petrolle soon will arrive in Manhattan.
 They are coming to scrap 1t out at the Coliseum January 24, for the benefit of the Milk Fund and if you, like me, are bit weary of watching alleged fighters adagio, croon, waltz and, in short, do everything but fight, I advise you to be there. For the Messrs Ross and Petrolle are unique in that once they get in the battle pit they feel it their duty to fight.
 I can vouch for that. I saw Barney lick Tony Canzoneri here and he can go to town, as the sasying goes. He can give it and he can take it. While he is not quite the little gamecock he used to be, Canzoneri still is a power full sweet 135-pounder, yet MT IbOSS llCfSeu Iill Dy tVPPlh6 ONCiJ~ thing he had to offer. When Can- zoneri elected to box Ross stood up and out-boxed him. When Tony chose to spraddle his legs, hitch up his trousers and blast it out, Ross spraddled his own legs, hitched up his own pants, and went to work.
 As for Petrolle or the "old man., as his manager, Jack Hurley calls him, he's just about the most genuine article left in the fight business. Fighting's his life. know of no finer sight in boxing than Willie, his hammered old face set, shedding the faded dirty horseblanket that serves him as a robe, and shuffling out in that lpigeon-toed stance to meet his man. And what a left hook the old man throws! If there's hard CT punch, pound for pound, than that left hook of Willie's, haven't seen it.
 In fact, I have often wished that a punching tournament could be arranged, with all the pugs entered according to weight, and with Car nera's chin, instead of 8 mechani- cal gadget as a register. My choice, up to the light weight class, would be Willie's left hook. He might not stretch Camera quite as fast as some of the boys above 175 pounds, but he'd stretch him flat enough for all ordinary pur- poses.
 And speaking of punches, I'd like to see how hard Tommy Loughran could hit. Nobody will ever convince me that Loughran, weigh ing better than 180 pounds and possessed of perfect timing, can't slug and slug hard. The trouble is that in fight you've got to run the risk of getting knocked out to score a knockout, and our Thomas doesn't like the idea.

CUBS WILL TAKE
 SQUAD OF ONLY
 2 TOCATALINA
Training Camp Will See Team Within Two of
 Squad Limit
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United PrpaG Staff. CnPraRn0n6Nnt

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Chicago (UP)-When the Chica- go Cubs gather at their Catalina Island training camp in March, they will be only two players over mid-season major league limit of 23. The Cubs squad of 25 will be one of the smallest any major league team will assemble for spring practice.
 The Cubs weeded out most of their surplus talent during the winter retaining only 15 veterans from last years club. In bringing in new talent Manager Charlie Grimm has concentrated on players of proven ability or youngsters who have a good chance to break into the regular lineups. Of the 10 newcomers only one comes from a club of below Class A rank ing.
 The most important addition to the Cubs is Chuck Klein, National League batting champion, who was obtained in a trade with the Phil lies. The other additions are Fitch CTS Roy Joiner, Bill Lee, and Dick and Augie Galan; Outfielder OOOA0 0O DtaItDdShy CLAA SaLSACAo Benny Tate, Gordon Phelps and Walter Goebel.
 Of this group only Camilli and Phelps have appeared in Cubs uni- form. They joined the club late last season.
 Grimm is counting heavily on the three new pitchers, Joiner and Lee, southpaws, and Ward, right handler, to bolster the pitching staff. Joiner won 22 games and lost IA for Oakland last season. Lee won, 21 games and lost for Co., lumbus. Ward won 25 games and lost 9 for Los Angeles.
 The rest of the pitching staff will be composed of veterans, Lon Warneke, Guy Bush, Charlie Root, Bud Timing, Pat Malone and Lynn Nelson.
 Benny Tate, purchased from Montreal where he batted 1885, is expected to be second string catch CT to Gabby Hartnett, Gordon Phelps, who came up from the AL bany International League club late last season, is considered 8 good prospect and probably will be kept as third string receiver.
 The infield is likely to see sev- eral battles for regular jobs. Ca- milli will try to oust Manager Grimm at first. Augie Galan, who hit 1856 for San Francisco, is ex- pected to give Billy Herman bat tie for second base. Bill Jurges seems all set at shortstop but Woody English will have to beat out Stanley Hack at third.
 The Cubs infield is likely to line up with George Stainback, who hit 1885 for Los Angeles last season; Kiki Cuyler, and Chuck Klein in the regular jobs, and Riggs Ste- nhenson and Babe Herman in the utility roles. Stephenson, who led the Cubs outfielders in hitting last season with a 1928 mark, may pos- sibly ke penis old job in left field if his legs do not go back on him or Stainback does not measure up to expectations.
