FAVOR Schn1eiing
To Beat Harnas

HAMBURG, Germany, March 4
Wp)-Max Schmeling today was es-
tablished a top-heavy favorite to de-
feat Steve Hamas in their 12-round
bout next Sunday.
The German former champion
has been increasingly impressive in
workouts, showing plenty of speed
and all his old-time power with
short, sharp punches which have
beat down his sparing partners.
Hamas has been slow, sluggish,
and so far from top form that he
becomes winded in a few rounds.
AL Thova, his trainer, however,
said that Hamas was coming along
slowly and would be at his peak for
the battle. He is confident Hamas
will repeat the one-sided beating
he gave Schmeling a year ago.

DAYTONA BEACh, fla, March
4. = The man would never say SO,
because he's too much of a gentle
man, but in his heart Sir Malcolm
Campbell mast feel his chances OF
driving an automobile 300 miles an
hour would be enhanced if certain
Daytona Beach officials, who never
drove car more than 70, would quit
telling him how.
Last night, only few hours after
he had driven Bluebird down the
beach at better than 270, the swivel
chair drivers cornered him in the
lobby, and told him his mistakes.
The gentleman in the brown suit
whose wife makes him take corners
at ~ m. p. h., told Sir Malcolm he
rode the beach too high.
You were way off the course we
set for you," he said. why didn't
you run down by the waters edge2
There you would have found beau
tifully smooth course, and the rec
ord might have been yours"
The only living man who has
driven a car at a speed in excess OF
$50 only smiled. You could guess
what he was thinking. That wasn't
it funny, that this man in the brown
suit should be telling him, Camp
bell, how to drive. After all, Camp
bell must have thought, it's my life
I'm gambling; my 100000 worth
of machine. And how could this
man know how it feels to hit a
hump at 270?
The fellow in the Sam Browne
belt poked up--the fellow who gets
his automotive thrills weaving in
and out of small town traffic.
You might have made it had you
followed the flae set for you You
were riding way up near the dunes
when you came through the mea-
sured mile"
Again Campbell made no answer.
Only smiled. Was he saying this to
himself?
81 wish, old chappie, you had been
with me on that run south yester-
day. Wish especially that you had
been there when old Bluebird, going
270, hit that gully just short of the
measured mile. would liked to have
seen your expression as you were
thrown from your seat, and the
wind and the sand laShed at your
eyes and face, and, absolutely blind,
you rocketed 1874 yards second be-
tween the ocean and the dunes
Beach Not Perfect
One could not help gathering from
the talk Of townsmen that they do
not believe Campbell when he says
the beach is unfit. To them, the
beach is always fit, a God-given cor
al strand. They seem to forget that
a beach which is ideal for cycling,
swimming and general gymnastics
may not be ideal for a speed of one
mile in IL seconds.
Somehow we prefer to take the
word of the man who has driven
over it, and not the word of men
whose fastest speed across it has
been in a bathing suit, and in the
back seat of passenger car. Camp
bell refused to make a north run
yesterday, saying he came here to
break a record-not a neck. For
some reason or another he doesn't
like TO drive at speeds better tiIan
250 with only canvas life belt sep
arating him from death.
One look at his tires after the
run south yesterday and you knew
Whist he had been through. The
cords looked as though some one
had been eating them with a fork,
and the right inside rear tire was all
but stripped of rubber, leaving only
the fabric to bear Campbell safely.
The rubber was probably ripped

NEGLECTED LANDS

TINE extent to which the Federal govern
Il ment will be able to undertake long
range International and conservation program
under the s4S8O, 100000 bill, as il was passed
BY Congress, has been questioned.
Some attorneys believe the measure will not
permit government acquisition Of submarglnal
lands. forests and park areas.
Land is our greatest asset.
Studies OF the National Resources Board
show that more than half the nations acre
age is affected by erosion. The total area OF
the nation is 1,934.642,27O acres. out Of this
there were only 79S.S7O.l6O acres on which the
board could report: Erosion unimportant."
The remainder has been depleted to some de-
gree by wind or sheet erosion, outlying or by
r-grazlng.
If there is any doubt of the authority OF
the government to buy submarginal lands and
restore them to grass or forests under the
additional legislation. Unlike some hurried re-
work relief bill, it should be quickly cleared by
lief projects, national land conservation will
mean much not only to this generation but to
future generations.

contention that the amendment is not wisely

A GOOD STEAK

ID EP. MAURY MAVERICK, like the I'M
IN branded steers his grandfather used TO
send roaming the great Southwest, thinks the
lone pa-ra-rie a safer place for a man than
a soft-carpeted caravanserai in Washington.
Responding to a dinner invitation sent by the
Southern States Industrial Council, the young
Texan said he would come if he could pay for
his own meal The Councils president was
deeply offended that Maury saw anything sin
lister in so innocent a thing as a bid to dinner.
We deplore," he wrote the Congressman,
"the implication that it is an unsafe thing
for member Of Congress to expose himself to
the influence of a good steak and the infor
nation which he often gets in connection
herewith, even though they cost him nothing
except his time. which is presumed to be worth
more than the best dinner"
Mr. Mavericks Chesterfeldian comment to
this was: "Phooey!"
Without questioning his would-be hosts
motives it can be said that the Texas Con-
CHEESEMAN'S instinct is sound. Propaganda
sifted through soft lights, laughter and music
is ever so much more convincing. The subtle
half-tones of dinner conversation are more
persuasive than logic in the daylight. Many
a man who could not be bought for millions
has been tempted by good steak.
