An insidious campaign to pro
mote Communism by creating
sentiment against national de-
fense and military training is be-
ing actively conducted in Ameri'
can schools and colleges.
This charge was made today by
William H. Sardo, president OF
the senior evening class of the
Georgetown University Foreign
Service School, in an address on
1.-THE Student and National De-
tense" before the tenth Women's
Patriotic Conference on National
Defense at the Hotel MayfloWer.

Mr.. Sardo further charged that
the campaign is being carried on
in many cases by university pro.

Stragetic positions because Of
their great influence in forming
the opinions of youth"
Declaring that the propagandist

ties" Mr.. Sardo said further:
"The major part Of the re-
SpOnSibility for the progress
which facism has made in Amer
lean colleges rests not with
the students, but with the fac.
ulty backed and influenced by
the clergymen Of this nation"
Hits HaIf-Truths
The student concluded his ad-
dress by informing the delegates
that the youth of America is
anxious for peace and that to
accomplish this purpose organiza-
tions such as the conference in
session must "rid their minds Of
the half-truths Of the pacifist
propaganda and Communist agi-
tator."
A greater Army air force was
cited as the most urgent defense
need Of the United States by
Lieut.. Col. Frank M. Andrews,
commander of the General Head
quarters Air Force Of the United

great mass destruction of human
life from the air in the event of
future war.
Urges Preparedness
Colonel Andrews declared this
country must be prepared to
meet any possibility Of an attack
on our major cities from the air,
stating:

BATTLE LOOMS
ON D. c, RENTS

Congressional forces lined up
today against members Of a
committee of the washington
Board Of Trade which voiced
strong opposition to a rent COM
mission in washington.
In a stormy session in the
Harrington Hotel yesterday
after an hour .debate-the COM
mittee adopted a resolution op-
posing a form Of congressional
action in the rent situation here.
Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the
sentiment for some sort of a rent
regulation commission for Wash
ington was growing by leaps and
bounds. The House District Com
mittee has already openly de-
clared rents must come down.
Legislation designed to attack
the rent gouger from many sides
is to be offered. Representative
Henry Ellenbogen CDO of Penn.
sylvania has introduced bill call
ing for establishment of a rent
commission here to which com
plants of unfair rents could be
taken.
Representative Everett M. Dirk
sen (RO of Illinois, of the House
District Committee, is preparing
a bill under terms Of which it
will be illegal to charge rent over
the postwar prices, while Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD OF
New Jersey and chairman Of the
House District Committee, has
threatened to increase the taxes
paid by persons who have real
property for rent.

Lou Thomas Laces
East Side Rival in
Lively Mitt Battle
Noble Wallace Is Victim
in Armory HeadIiner.

Fistic fans who like their action
rough-and-tumble got an eyeful at
the ArmOry last night, when six
scraps involving local battlers pro-
vided an evening Of thrills without
a letup.
Lou Thomas, the dandy local
middleweight, added another victim
to his string with an impressive trl-
umph over Noble Wallace, a home
town rival. 1t was a punchfest all
the way, with Lou doing most OF
the tossing and Wallace consider
able catching.
Wallace Is Game
Although outweighed and on the
short end of the reach, Wallace
was not outgamed After taking a
terrific pasting in the three open
ing stanzas. the East Side batter
came back in the fourth and land
ed with looping rights and let's,
touching off a SUGGEST that had the
customers yelling for more. Thomas
edge was decisive, six of the ROUNDS
going to his credit, one to Wallace
and the other even. Lou smashed
Wallace on the nose in the fifth
round and the blood poured for
the remainder of the battle.
Crowding the main go for thrills
was a lively six-stanza struggle bes
tween two Negro punchers, Kid
Carson gaining the nod over ice
Smith. The Kid, a clever boxe-',
also packs punch, scoring a
knockdown in the second round
and having his foe in trouble most
of the time.
Bob Kann, another hard-punch-
ing middleweight, was an easy win
ner over Johnny Mccoy, local rival
but a miX-up in names by one of
the judges gave the official verdict
to Mccoy. Kann scored one knock
down and forced the action all the
way, winning at least four of the
six rounds.
Decision Is Close
Scotty Fuller, heavyweight, was
awarded the official verdict over
Young Hannible, Negro 20O-pounder.
The Times scorecard gave Hannible
a shade. Two sparkling four-round-
ers completed the program, Lefty
Nicholson, Shelbyville middleweight,
walloping Jimmy Wilson, FIT. Har-
rison, all over the ring, and Jimmy
Shannon, lightweight, getting q
close verdict over Billy Breedlove.
Although the cash customers were
noticeable by their absence, the bat
tiers put forth their best efforts and
city f1stic fans who have been yell
ing for a boxing revival are hope
full that the comeback is we'll under
way. The program was staged by
