NEW YORK, June 26.-The bell
rang and they walked out.
The Negro feinted right to the
belly and then threw a left hook
that slit the Italians mouth so
badly it bled from both corners.
You knew it was all over.
That one punch told you-told
you better, than all the thousands
of words spewed from the press
agents ypewriter-that the dice
we're coming up for Joe Louis, and
that Primo Cameras number was
going up-maybe with the next
punch, maybe in the next round,
but surely going up.
Primo's number went up in the
sixth. Coming out of a clnch,
Louis tossed a full right that caught
Primo flush on the chin. Like a
puppet whose strings had been cut,
the giant Italian buckled at the
knees. sWayed for a moment. and
then sort of poured to the canvas.
Bill Duffy yelled from PrimoS
corner:
Take ninel'
But Primo was past hearing, past
thinking. All experience was knock
ed out of him. and ne rose without
a count.
l switched my eyes to Louis.
AS Carliera rose, slowly, the De-
troit Negro, the same inscrutable
mask on his face, Shuffled in for
the kill.
He threw a punch. Was it right
or a left? I don't know. 1t start
ed too swiftly It landed high on
Cameras cheekbone and the Ital-
ian sank to the floor like a shot
through elephant. Out of his head
he was up as the tifNekeeper tolled
"two-uhl' Watching him, bleeding
CLASSY and rubber-kneed, you wished
he'd stay down for good, for you
knew what awaited him.
Louis, as cold as ice, met him
coming UP and nailed him with a
left. You saw the blow this time
for he started it from left field.
Camera hit the deck again. AS
he crumpled on the canvas, his cor
ner called again:
Take it ALL"
Referee Haits IL
But he didn't hear them. Game
~ he clambered up, this time to
run into another left hook so vi
cious it actually bounced him oil
the floor and into a standing pos
ition. Louis was drawing a bead
on his chin when Referee Donovan
.wisely stepped in and waved the
Negro to his corner.
AS Louis walked back to his cor
ner-his face still set in that cold,
cruel cast-you knew that all that
separated him from the champion
ship of the world were signatures
on contract-his signature and
Jimmy Braddock's signature.

T7IRES may look alike on the outside,
but on the inside where blowoutS
start, they are different. FireStone
Tires are made blowout proof by Gum
Dipping, patented extra process which
soakS every cotton cord and insulateS
every strand with pure liquid rubber. In
fact, every 100 pounds of cotton cords
absorb eight additional pounds of liquid
rubber. This special process prevents
internal friction and heat, the main cause
of blowoutS. No other make of tire is
Gum-Dipped, yet you pay no more for
Firestone blowout-proof protection than
you are asked to pay for tires built without
this patented safety construction feature.
The make of tires you buy for your
car becomes a matter of vital importance
when you realize that there were S82, 900
automobile accidents in 1884 injuring
954,oOO people and killing 10000 and
that $4,000 of these accidents were
caused by blowouts, punctures and
skidding.
Firestone High Speed Gum-Dipped
Tires hold all world records on road and
track for safety, speed, mileage and
endurance. These records emphasize the
undisputed evidence that Firestone Tires
are not only blowout-proof but give
greatest protection against Skidding.

VALLEE IS VICTOR
IN SUIT BY WIFE
Fay Webb Denied More
Generous Maintenance
Than $500 Weekly.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. February l3.-Fay
Webb Vallee today lost her attempt in
Supreme Court to obtain a more gen.
erous slice Of the income OF her
eStranged husband, Rudy Vallee, the
crooner.
Justice Salvatore Gothic ended the
action by granting motion TO dismiss
the case. which had been made by
counsel for Vallee.
The justice ruled that Mrs. Vallee
had not proved her allegations that
the separation agreement with her
husband had been made through CO.
ercion and under duress.
The financial clause of the agree
ment gives Mrs. Vallee 500 a week
maintenance money.
In a statement commenting on his
victory Vallee called attention to his
wife's failure to testify.
TO say that | am glad / won Is
hardly correct" the statement said.
I am glad justice has been done. That
is the only result I was asking and
that was entitled to bring about.
Mrs. Vallee has instituted all these
unpleasant litigations. which, in turn.
compelled me to call attention to the
real circumstances in connection with
the signing of the separation agree
ment she sought to set aside.
What more can I say except to call
attention to the fact that Mrs. Vallee
Travelled all the way from California
to the counsel table in the court in
New York and then for reasons that
are clear to every one she did not dare
to walk the short distance from the
counsel table to the witness stand"

WORK.RELIEF TO PAY
LESS THAN INDUSTRY
Ickes Says Wage Under Big Ap.
preparation Will Not Com
pete With Business.

By the Associated Press.
DENVER. February 13.-Secretary
of the Interior Ickes said here yester-
day wages paid under the proposed
s4,8s0 900, 900 public works bill will be
lower than those paid in private in
dustry.
The rate of pay. however. will be
higher than the amount a person on
relief rolls would get, he said. in
speech before the Denver Chamber of
Commerce.
I'VE want to encourage private bust
ness" Ickes said. For that reason
we do not want to compete with pri-
vate business for labor. and if we pay
a lesser scale 1t will mean that the car
penter or laborer who is working on
q P. w. A. project will be glad to &C
cept employment on q privately
financed project when the opportunity
offers itself"
Secretary Ickes came here to ad-
dress delegates to grazing confer

The trouble comes over testimony
given by Admiral Peoples privately in
the Glass committee. Senators under
stood him to say that the Government
plans to pay no more than $50 q
month to any one The New Dealers
now say that is not true But il you
take the relief money total and divide
1t among the 100000 workers over a
year, it would work out at about that
figure (allowing a reasonable amount
for materials. Hence the Senators
remain unconvinced.
A safe compromise would be to write
the $50 or some similar Limitation into
the relief bill and also authorize pay
ment of the prevailing wage. This
would force the Government to stag
ger employment. No one wants to do
that for political reasons.
Working on Glass.
The White House has been doing
some soft missionary work on the I'M
reconstructed rebel, Senator Glass.
1t did not get out at the time,
but Senator Glass held t,Do-hour
conference at the White House tUo
weeks ago Dith Senators Byrnes
and Hayden present. Also Mr..
Roosevelt called Senator Glass on
the telephone at his hotel here last
Deek.
Such unusual contacts were ad-
visable, but not exactly necessary. in
view of the relief dispute in the Glass
committee. However, they do not seem
to have much effect.
New Deal strategists have been
mulling over what would happen if
Mr. Roosevelt pulled what is now
known as "a Father Coughlin" in the
labor dispute. They wonder what
would happen to the Senate If he took
to the radio some Sunday evening, de-
livering his argument and saying to
the people: Wire your Senators"
Some believe he could thus destroy
Senate prestige for months to come
and take all the fight out of 1t.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Two and Two Makes
Six in Approval of
Cigarette Code.
BY PAUL MALLON.

~KE masters touch was evident
again in President Roosevelt
recent announcement about
Il signing the long-lost cigarette
code
The announcement said that the
National Industry Recovery Board had
voted 4 to 2 in favor Of the code. This
made it appear that Mr.. Roosevelt
was merely taking the side of the ma
jority. Such action always has a
wide appeal in country where the
majority is supposed to rule.
But it you dig into it. you wW
find that up until the time that
the President made his cigarette
announcement, there tDere only fire
members of the N. /. r. A. Board.
A to 2 majority on fireman
board became eUen less under
stonddble Uhen the announcement
also said that one board member
(Cldy WillidmSJ did not UOte be-
cause he was tobacco manutac-
turer.
What seems to have happened is
that Mr.. Roosevelt added two aSSo-
ciate (non-voting) members to the
board, for the purpose of the cigar
cite code announcement Actually the
board divided, 2 to 2, on the code, with
Williams not voting. Otherwise the
question would never have come be-
fore the President in the form it did.
He functions as umpire only when
the board cannot agree.
The Other Voters.
The two non-voting associates are
Blackwell Smith and Leon Hender-
son. They never voted on anything
previously. and probably will not
again.
All of which indicates that major
ity may be matter of viewpoint, and
not necessarily a matter of votes.

VAN DUzER BACKS
D. c. SAFETY BILL
Burleith Citizens Hear Traf.
fic Director-Weir Plan
Is Given Support.

A personal plea for support OF his
attempt to secure passage by Con-
gress Of a safety responsibility bill
for the District was made last night
to the Burleith Citizens Association
by Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer.
The association also went on record
as favoring the fourth plan submit
ted in the Weir report for control of
recreation and as opposing both the
income tax for the District and the
placing of the Board of Education
under the District Commissioners.
In his address Van Duzer declared
that of the $4,000 cars on the streets
in the downtown section daily, 90, GOO
are from the nearby States and IS
per cent of the accidents involve out
of-toWn cars. Most of the traffic
fatalities, he declared, have occurred
in the outlying sections of the city.
where there is less control over traf-
fic. Accidents have dropped 20 per
cent at the controlled intersections,
he said.
Taxicabs Held Numerous.
Asserting there are far too MANY
taxicabs on the streets of the CITY.
there being one to every 125 persons.
as against one to 200 persons in Bal
timore and one to $50 people in New
York City, the traffic director said
many of the taxicabs would be elm
mated through operation of a safety
responsibility Law.
He advocated the adoption here of
a law similar to one in Michigan
under which the driver of an automo-
bile involved in a fatal accident may
be convicted Of involuntary homicide,
with a penalty not exceeding five
years in prison or a fine not exceed
ing $4,000. Convictions here are rare
because both coron'r'S and criminal
jurieS balk at the .nanslaughter law.
Despite the increase last year in
fatalities, he said, there has been an
annual reduction in the number OF
accidents of from $500 in 1881 TO
1900 in 1884 Drunken driving ar
rests increased during the same period
from l49 to 256.
Would Examine Permits.
Another piece of legislation advo-
Gated by the traffic director is an an
nual examination for operators
permits.
Acting upon the recommendation of
special committee headed by
Granger G. Sutton, the association
adopted a resolution favoring the
placing of the recreational facilities
Of the city under the fourth plan sug-
gested by Lebert H Weir-jointly
under the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the Com
munity Center Department of the
Board Of Education
In opposing an income tax, the as
ISOLATION expressed the opinion that
the Federal Government is not con-
tributing its fair amount to the rev.
enues of the District because of the
large amount Of land removed from
taxation
A resolution was adopted thanking
the Capital Transit Co. for the "ex-
cellent" bus service rendered during
the recent snow.

The presidential flea has bitten
Huey Long hard. It has made diff
ferent man of him. You can see the
obvious effects of political malaria in
his new walk and talk
Gone is his sWagger, his KingflSh
stride He forgetS himself and shouts
in debate once in a while. but other
wise is as dignifled as George Wash
ington himself. His radio style is
new also Instead of customary
colloquial Alterations of speech. he
communes publicly with Aristotle and
Plato.
This studious dignity is much
duller than the old Huey, but the
Democratic leaders are finding it
makes him easier to handle For
instance, his presentation OF the
resolution to investigate Chairman
General Farley tCdS not strong
enough to make eren Floor Leader
Robinson angry incidentally, Huey
did not hare much on the chair
man general in the resolution. and
it ,CiH neuer be adopted by the Sem
dte).
The only color Huey had left the
other day was an unexplained red
mark on his forehead and two body
guards.
Labor Fight Goes On.
The labor crowd is certainly getting
even with Mr.. Roosevelt for all the
headaches he caused them on the
auto and cigarette codes.
This current conflict over Govern
ment relief wages is being carried on
publicly as an argument between the
White House and the Senate. but
every one knows the Senate opposi-
ton is being inspired by the A. F. of
L. leaders.
The Senate is one place Where
the Labor lobby holds the upper
hand. This is because most OF the
strongest Senators are Wo-l1bor
Morris, Borah, Wagner. The stu
alton is different in the House.
For that reason Mr.. Roosevelt
aCiH ,Dtn out in the end, no matter
Uhdt the Senate does. The House
miu stand BY him and force the
Senate into line.
There are two good sides to the
prevailing wage argument. No one
disputes the White House contention
that relief Jobs should be made less
attractive than private Jobs.

PLAN
SECURITY TARGET
Report to House to Brand
S2OO-a-Month Program
as impossible"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two blows at DR.. F. E. Townsend's
proposal for $2O0-a-month pensions to
the aged were planned today by the
men charged with steering the admin
istrations social security program
through Congress.
Chairman Doughton predicted the
House Ways and Means Committee
would attack the principles Of the
Townsend plan as unfeasible, imprac-
ticable and impossible Of administra-
ton" in its formal report to the House
within a week or 10 days.
The committee report is expected 10
contrast the administration security
program, especially its provisions for
the unemployed, the aged, mothers
and children. with the bill by Repre-
sentative McGroarty, Democrat, Of
California, to carry out the Townsend
idea.
Townsend to Testify.
The elderly author Of the s200-a-
month pension plan has been prom
ised an opportunity to testify Satur-
day before the Senate Finance Com
mittee. which is conducting hearings
on the security program. Committee
leaders said, however. that experts will
follow him on the stand to denounce
his proposition.
In the face of these opposition
plans. DR.. Townsend suggested to the
House Ways and Means Committee
yesterday that S200-a-mOnth pensions
should be limited to persons over IS
years of age. instead Of going to all
over 80 as he proposed originally.
Thinks Two Years Needed.
1T is obvious to all of us that We
couldn't start this plan at 5000
month for all over so" he said. Start
it at. say, IS years and in little while
things will be so stimulated that the
plan would work. ] presume it would
take two years before We could get
to all OF them
Chairman DOughton commented that
the suggested change in age limits
would reduce by four-ffths the num-
Der of persons who would be entitled
to pensions under the Townsend
scheme.
The formal report Of Doughton's
committee is TO be followed by House
debate in which members Of the COM
mittee plan TO express their pension
views.
