SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.
Jack Kearns revealed here today
that Mickey Walker, former mid

a fight here with Young Corbett

defend himself when he arose.
The Greek started pummeling his
dazed opponent so violently that
before George Bothner appeared
to be on the verge of disqualify-
ing him, but one more body alarm
and the Missourian was done.
For the kill, Londos used his
favorite airplane spin, whirling
the 233-poung giant around, slam
ming him to the canvas with a
fearful thud and pinning his
shoulders to the mat.
The Greek was caught by
Browning's famed scissors hold
eight times, but crawled out OF
it successfully on each occasion.
Although he appeared to be in a
bad way at the hour mark.

'GRAVELLY BACKED
BY TRADE BOARD
Body Takes Issue With House
Group on D. c. Airport
Site.

Taking issue with the attitude of the
House Military Affairs Committee and
Army and Navy aviation experts, the
Aviation Committee Of the Washington
Board of Trade reiterated yesterday
its stand feroring the Gravelly Point
site as a municipal airport for the
Capital.
The group recommended to the
board of directors Of the trade body
that they oppose efforts to abandon
the Gra~elly Point proposal. The
committee felt also that Washington
airport should be developed to serve
as more adequate landing field until
such time as the new project is COM
pleted.
Distribution of the cost Of the Grav-
ely Point airport. the committee rec
ommends, should be distributed on an
equal basis between the Federal and
District governments, as provided In
the pending Gibson bill. The Dis
trict's share would not come due for
10 years after completion Of the prof.
ect, and would be payable over five
year period.
A special subcommittee composed OF
Clarence A. Miller, chairman of the
Aviation Committee; John F. Victory
of the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics, and Chester H. War
rington was named to present the
committee views to congressional
groups
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, told the committee the
commission would continue to support
the Gravelly Point site. despite the
opposition of the House Military AZ
fairs Committee. The latter group
had objected because the location is
within 5000 feet of the naval air sta
tion and Boiling Field.

::CUT IN INTEREST.
Mentions Railroads in Dis
cussing Reorganization
of Huge Debts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A delineation Of President Roose-
velt's attitude on questions Of the
hour brought out at the White House
today that he favors a broad policy
OF reduction OF interest rates on the
outstanding obligations Of industry,
foreign governments and all other
forms OF debts.
After holding his regular press con-
ference, the President devoted atten-
ton to a statement OF policy as to
control of sugar production-involving
relations with Cuba-in the expecta-
ton of issuing it q while later
The Presidents sugar statement
sugar imports and propose domestic
control under the agricultural adjust
ment act.
Basic Commodity Status.
Legislation will be asked to make
the sweet a basic commodity legally
so processing tax can be levied.
Aside from this subject, 1t appears
unlikely the President will have any
thing further to propose in the way
Of congressional action this week.
He expects Congress to enact stock
exchange control legislation at this
session as a fulflllment of the Demo-
cratic platform.
Mr.. Roosevelt expects soon to dis
cuss this subject with congressional
leaders. A bill to license the stock
exchanges and to bar pool operations
is being prepared at the Capitol.
A report is expected tomorrow at
the White House from the Treasury
on a means of guaranteeing the prin-
cipal of home loan bonds and hnanc-
ing modernization of homes.
Stands Pat on Budget.
1t was restated that the President
is standing pat on his emergency bud
get proposals and has made no change
in his plan to end the Civil Works
Administration in May.
However. he still wants the emer-
gency recovery appropriations for the
remainder of this fiscal year and for
next year to be in elastic form so
he can use them for any needs deemed
necessary. c. w. A. or otherwise, de-
pending upon conditions.
AS to interest rates. it is the opin-
ion OF the President that by and large
these are too high in relation to the
debt structure.
He feels a reorga anzation OF that
structure is necessary. He believes
If the creditors are willing to cut
down on the interest charges. there
will be a greater opportunity for them
to collect the principal owed them.
Mr.. Roosevelt's views, given off,
hand in response to inquiries at the
regular press conference, clearly in
dicated he felt the normal prevailing
interest rates were too high, but he
did not specify any particular rate as
a maximum
Attention was called that the Gov
ernment was paying less than l per
cent in some cases on its Short-term
paper. The railroads were mentioned
in the discussion.
The President feels the tremendous
debt reorganization problem must be
worked out either on voluntary
basis or through the new receivership
legislation. by which a substantial
majority Of creditors can force all
of the creditors to readjust the debt.
