1t wasn't even that, because
hard road pounding is behind
him, just as the boxing and
stomach pounding is. He left the
tremendous Sims mansion at a
quarter to seven with the two
topped, but young, Dolph Thomas,
master second, the Spider" Kelly
of the day in California, as his
companion.
Walked Five Miles
They wanted that walk of five
miles all to themselves, and no.
body in camp dared hint that he
wanted to NOPE along with them.
The battle of the bowl was fought
on that back road this morning
before any of the Seashore citl-
zens had tumbled out of bed.
AS they walked this morning,
they talked of the plan of battle.
Thomas has made minute study
of every moving picture taken OF
Camera in action. He saw him
right in California. He is positive
that he knows the best way, the
shortest way to victory, over the
gigantic Italian.
They. figured out just such
punches as big Camera is likely
to throw from the start. Baer is
a stubborn student if he can be
called such at this late day.
Interesting Reading
It would have been interesting
reading to have caught some of
that secret sermon on the road.
Baer will heed this sharp-eyed
fellow from the Golden Gate. He
is one man who can make Max

His demeanor was not that
of one who hovers in the
shadow of a man who will out
weigh him by at least so
pounds, outstrips him in height
by four inches and have so
many other physical advantages
that it almost seems suicidal
to try to cut him down.
No, Max Baer is not the
least non-plused by the task
ahead. Conversely to him to-
morrow will be just another
day in his 25-year of flaming,
boyish, happy-go-lucky exist
ence.
Wonders at Wonderment
The Baer person exudes con-
fidence. The only thing he
wonders about is why people
wonder whether he will win. To
him it is a foregone conclu-
sion. His attitude is that of
one ordained to send Primo
Carnera back to his native
sequels a complete has-been.
Max Baer hasn't given failure
a seconds consideration. Earn
ing the worlds championship
to him seems merely a cake
walk, another prank. Nothing
to it! Easy! How long has
this been going on!
The experts who have been
making expeditions here over
the past weeks seem to know
little more about Baer'S chances
tomorrow night than they did
when they first started watch
ing his haph azard, crazy
regime in preparation for the
opportunity of his lifetime. To
them he is still a pugilistic
enigma.
In 20. Sparring sessions with
his two colored and one white
guinea pigs, Baer hasn't i'm
pressed in more than two
workouts, and they material
ized last Saturday and Mon
day. Between and before those
exhibitions, his sparring was
only dotted with good moments.
If one were able to tell exactly
where Baer's acting left off and
his fighting commenced, one
would be in a far better posi-
The Washington times., 1934-06-13

hear him wise-crack as he goes
down:
california, here I GOMEZ"
On the other hand, should he
happen to drop Camera for the
count, Baer may we'll be eX-
pected to daintily dust the resin
from the tips of his two gloves,
step to the edge of the ring and
inquire if there are any doctors
in the house.
Unorthodox and How!
Baer is distinctly an unortho-
dox fighter. He must have
learned the rudiments of the
game in the school yard and
never graduated. He has no
finesse, yet he can stand toe to
toe and exchange hard blows
for short periods that make him
look like a killer.
But after a few seconds of
this, his eyes wander out into
the audience as if to see if folks
were looking and then he takes
up his romping, roughing, ell.
bowing, back-handing play.
Briefly, his attack is not sus-
tained and how he expects to
get through the perfect guard
which Primo Camera builds in
front of himself with those two
long, gristly, hairy fore-arms of
his is something that one dare
not speculate upon.
That Baer hopes to do some
such a thing is evidenced by his
training rounds here, as the only
rhyme or reason which his ses-
sions have produced is that he
hopes to win with body blows.
Day after day he has been taking
10 blows to get in one to a foes
bread-baSket, an area wherein
Camera is reputed not to cher
iSh punishment.
He may hope to concentrate
in such a region long enough to
get Primo'S guard down so he
can reach for the chin, but if so
he has disguised such a fact.
Either that or he's hasn't wished
to press the button of his camp
foes, lest they all run out on
him.

at night. I'll string with
Baer."
oracle ALLEN: 'Baer can't
lose if Camera doesn't show
up. But if Primo dOes-my
money is bet on the Italian
boy"
FRED WARING: "The only
reason I'm roofing for Baer
is because I would like to see
him bring the title back to
America. But think Primo
will win"

too big"

settle into a winning stride. He
can even make him cut out the
tittering when a million-dollar
chance is before his blazing black
eyes.
Carnera will be fighting Dolph
Thomas as well as Baer tomorrow,
and it's the DEVILS own combina-
ton to beat. Camera would have
given half of his coming purse
to have had bird or squirrel
privileges along that road today.

Daughter DOns Mme Curie'S SOmber
Garb to Garry On for Greatest Woman

TINE Joliots, terribly busy ar
l. ranging their mothers many
papers, have hardly considered
the question of how they will
carry on financially.
From a scientific point Of
view" M. Joliot said, laid is es-
sential to us. 1t gives a certain
independence, allows us to buy
laboratory equipment and to get
technical assistance"
He explained that the new work
in producing light" radium par
ticles required larger space than
was available at the institute and
so they are building big labora-
tory-Shed outside Paris at Arcuell,
with American funds.
Speaking very simply, he ex-
pressed his own and Nine. Joliot's
deep gratitude "for all the Won
derful encouragement to Nine.
Curie which has come from
America, and for the American
enthusiasm which has done so
much to benefit mankind in IA
dunn research"
The Joliots live in modest fiat
near Place Denfert-Rochereau in
Paris. They have two children,
Helene, years old, and Pierre,
who is 2 and named for his emf
nent grandfather.

C. OF C. ISSUES
PLEA IN PUBLIC
WORKS DRIVE
Members Asked to Support
Move to Relieve Large
Unemployment.

An appeal for support in the In
dianapolis Chamber of Commerce
drive to push appropriations for
contemplated public Improvements
and thus relieve unemployment this
winter was made today in bulletin
issued to Chamber members.
The report praised the ALLEGATION
of public funds and stated that
there are tremendous possibilities
for thousands of work hours and
the sale of large quantities of mate
rails by the people of Indiana,
enough greatly to relieve unemploy-
ment rolls and do so in strict keep
ing with good business practice
and the government plan for unem-
ployment relief"
I'VE need the interested help and
support of every citizen and public
official if we are to get the contem-
plated projects under way in time TO
be sufficiently helpful this winter"
the bulletin stated.
The bulletin asserted that the
projects will cost 100000 and en-
ploy several hundred men steadily,
in addition to e-job labor, for
one year.
The projects approved by the
Chamber for pushing are the rehab-
ilitation of the sewage disposal plant
with an estimated cost of $420,000;
rehabilitation of the garbage dis
posal plant, $4,000; slum clearance
project, proposed addition to the
federal building, Flower Mission
project for a tuberculosis pavilion
Riley hospital therapeutic pool, and
state highway projects on highways
leading into the city.

IXI handsome black-h a ire n

M. JOLIOT is young, slender,
WI handsome, black-h ir e d,
dark-eyed. He has all the sim
plicity and ardor of a worker
trained in the Curie school. He
paid high tribute to American and
British science for their discover
les and collaboration in radium
research.
Work here and in other labor
atories throughout the world has
already brought down the price
of radium enormously" M. Joliot
said.
To-day radium is principally
found in the Belgian Congo.
Rough deposits are transported to
Belgian village called Oolens,
where the process of extracting
the pure element occurs in a lab
oratOry.
When Nine. Currie got her first
gramme, through the generosity
of Americas women, it cost $780,
900. There were only four ounces
of it known in the world. Today
at Oolens alone, there are GER
tainly 100 grammes, and perhaps
as much as 200 grammes, while
there has been a wide distribution
elsewhere. And it is much cheap
err"
The price is vigorously con-
trolled by the Belgian producers,
M. Joliot explained, so that it will
always diminish, not rise, in value.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Hope
for successful negotiation of So
Wet American debt settlement les
sened today after a gloomy confer
ence between Soviet Ambassador
Alexander Troyanovsky and Secre-
tary Of State Cordell Hull.
1t was believed the confereeS had
reached a stumbling block.
R. Walton Moore, assistant secre-
tar yof state, made the only official
comment.
I'VE shall know within few days
whether there is any prospect of
an agreement"
1t was thought possible that a
stiff American attitude against sug-
geSted concessions on the debt,
which amounts to about $500 100000,
may have run up against equal
StubbornnesS on the part of Russia.
If no agreement results, substan-

ton of the Johnson act, which pro-
hibits credit to any nation conSid-

TINT
SHADES SILVER
MOVE BY U. S.
Currency viii Be Issued
Against Free Bullion to
Full Value.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - A
slightly more inf1ationary cast was
placed on the treasury's new silver
plans by Qualification Of what
currency is to be issued against the
metal.
Currency will be issued against
free silver bullion now held in the
treasury up to the full legal value
of S129 an ounce. Against silver
stocks acquired by naturalization
currency equal to the purchase
price of 50O1 cents will be issued,
for the present.
Since the treasury now holds, it
was revealed, 100000 ounces of
silver unpledged as the backing of
any bills, this means that $50 100000
in silver certificates are being
printed and will be put into circu-
lation Immediately.
Cost Only S46,9OO,OOO
However, these $1,000 900 ounces,
the treasury reported, cost only S46,-
100000 to acquire. The difference
between the face value of the certi-
ficates and the cost of the silver is
to be reported daily in the treas
ury statement as "seigniorage."
1t has previously been supposed
that the treasury would print GER
tificateS against this silver only to
the amount of its cost. The present
plan doubles the amount of the bills
being printed.
AS regards the newly nationalized
silver the new treasury statement
did not reveal anything further. The
plan to issue currency against it at
the rate of 5001 cents was what had
been expected.
For the approximately 200,000,0 900
ounces expected to be turned in to
the treasury this would amount to
an expansion of currency of only
about $100000,O00, which like the
$80,000,00O in bills now being print
ed, is but a trivial fraction of the
total amount of money in circula-
ton.
Later Expansion Possible
The possibility of further currency
expansion lies in the prospect that
the treasury may at later date ex-
pand its silver certificate issue to
the full limit of $1.29 per ounce re-
quired by law.
Even this would not bulk very
large so far as the nationalizcd
stocks are concerned. However,
should the treasury set about an
aggressive policy of acquiring on the
world markets enough silver to
bring its stocks up to the 81 ratio
with gold which has been set as the
legal goal, the expansion would be
considerable.
1t was emphasized, in this con-
neCtion, that no hint has been given
by the treasury that it was planning
a wholesale program of silver pur-
chaSes in order to build its silver
stocks to the legal ratio overnight.
The difference between the cost
of nationalized silver and it's none
tary value of $129 will also be re-
ported by the treasury under the
"seigniorage" item.
The treasury declared in it's an
nouncement that while "seignoir-
age" was now appearing in it's state
ment for the first time as a separate
item, it had always been shown in
the treasury receipt account.
Since the beginning of the gov
ment," said the statement, "the
treasury has received a total of
1887 100000 in seignoirage, which
hitherto had been included in the
daily statement under the item
