put on exhibition. / don't exactly
now what the standing gag is be-
hind the words, but it is all in fun
anyhow. Bill Carroll: The guy
who runs around sticking pins in
kids toy balloons. Now THAT, re-
member, is not my creation, but one
tailOr-made especially for Bill by
his very good pals. Personally i
don't think Bill would stick a pin
in a brick wall, he's that kind
hearted.
When Bernie Swanson of the
Minneapolis Star gave me that
write-up in his column couple of
weeks ago, he was doing me big
ger favor than he imagined,-on
accounta' there's certain brother
around this town who has been
casting aspersions on my sports
comments. "No woman knows any
thing about SPORTS" he would keep
on telling me. "What do you want
to keep messing around with sports
stuff for" / would keep answer
ing that he could go to the devil
and that if / felt like writing
sports I'd write 'em whenever /
pleased, so blaaaa! Things got so
pettish between us that we were
barely on speaking terms. He
would see me out at different
places and hiss:
sports writer! Hal"
The best retort l could think of
would be: cha yourself" which
isn't so hot as retort you must
admit, my trans.
And THEN Bernie Swanson
blows along and gives me whole
paragraph in his SPORTS column
He didn't pass any comments on
liz me as sports writer, but the
fact that he had quoted sum'thin'
of mine was enough for the brother
who always SEE to me: "Sports
writer! Hal"
The brother was too astounded
at first to do much of anything, but
the final reaction came couple of
nights ago when he sides up to me
in a confidential manner and asks:
"Do you think Dwight Reeds going
to make the first team in the fall 2"
I was just woman enough, and
CATTY enough, to snap: "I'm no
sports writer. Why ask me?"
He's going to read this and get
hopping mad, but Pm afraid he'll
just have to get mad,-on ac-
counta' it's too good to keep.
AS / was coming down here on
the street car this afternoon, a
wobbly old gentleman climbed un-
steadily on board. The street car
had one of those pay-leave fare ar
rangements, and so when the old
gent tried to put his token in the
box, the conductor said:
'Pay as you leave" and put his
hand across the fare box. The aged
one persisted in trying to get the
token in.
"Pay as you leave" explained
the conductor again, quite bit
more loudly this time.
"Hey?" asked the old gent.
"Pay as you leave You put your
fare in when you get off,"
Hey? What's that?" By this
time the passengers were turning
around to see what was causing all
the rOw-de-dOw. The conductor
raised his voice to a shout.
"Don't pay NOW! Pay when you
get OFF,
when do / pay?" hollered the
old brother. But the conductor
shook his head YEARLY, removed
his hand from the box, and let the
guy put the token in.

popular, but / can't have them

rated publicity build-up. BEFORE his
fight with Levinsky, they said that
Joe was doing all his training via
the night club route, and that he
was knocking his sparring part
ners around so much only because
the sparring mates were set-ups
and fit for the junk heap rather
than for training purposes. That
sort of thing makes me fighting
mad, but most of all, it makes me
sorry for people whose blind preju-
dice influences them so completely
that they let it poison their whole
minds and OutlOoks. Even if Joe
makes the championship one of
these days, they'll never give him
credit down below "the line"
Joe already has gained the re-
spect and admiration of every fair
minded white sports fan. Every
body who likes a clean living and
good character is pulling for the
kid. If he makes the grade, a big
factor will be put forward in break
ing down prejudice in athletics. 1t
will give white sports fans
chance to find out that all Negroes
who get to the top don't make
dam fools of themselves, and blow
off at the mouth at every opportu-
nifty. Jack Johnson did enough
damage along that line to set
Negroes in sports back twenty-five
years. It's up to Joe Louis to patch
up that damage and start the ball
rolling all over again. Meanwhile
FIVE-Newman Alice
no one with any sense pays any at
tention to biased, narrow-minded
individuals who try to discredit the
well-deserved advance towards the
top that the quiet kid from Detroit
is making. That is, no one except
those poor, lost souls in the South
whose minds have never really
grown up, and whose hearts are
closed to anything savoring of toll
erance and genuine good will.
Ann Foster, who is camp in
structOr for the summer up at a
lake in Michigan, dropped me a
line yesterday. She writes that
Joe Louis will visit the camp in a
few days and give the kiddies a
chance to look him over. :. Willis
Ward comes out there frequently.
(And the way Ward looks in a
bathing suit is enough to send all
the single wimmen, and half of the
married ones, to MichiganD :. f.
Franklin Lett, the too good look
ing reserve end on the last years
Michigan team, got himself mar
ried, and besides he is not eligible
for play in the fall. He was being
grOomed to take Wards place, so
they say. Too bad,-but that honey
was not the type to run around I'M
attached very long. Rachel
GOoden was out to the camp to
visit last week. Rae is looking fine,
writes Ann, and doing well. /.

WASHINGTON. Feb. II. WP =
Sen. Huey P. Long, (Dem) Louisi-
ana, bitterly attacked James A. Far
ley, postmaster general, in the sem
ate today, charging the Democratic
party chief with participation in
gross irregularities"
Long, angry because Joseph T.
Robinson, majority leder, asked the
senate to permit the post office
committee to act on his resolution
to investigate Farley's conduct,
shouted:
Farley, Farley, Farley-bow down
to this demon"
Long waved his arms, shook his
fists and pounded his desk. His face
was scarlet.
I'VE we're promised" he said,
that there'd be an end TO this
slime, filth and rottenness which
they told us existed in the Hoover
administration.

UNION LEADER
WILL DIRECT
WORK RELIEF
BY II. o. THOMPSON


United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright 1895 by United Press
WASHINGTON. Feb.i IL. - The
first authentic information on Pre-
sident Roosevelt's plan for admins
tering his s4,880, 100000 work relief
fund, showing he intended to select
q coordinator ana to operate it
through board of five officials,
was obtained today by the United
Press.
Mr.. Roosevelt. it was learned, has
offered the post of coordinator to
George l.. Berry, who came up from
the ranks of organized labor to as
sumo an important position in the
new deals recovery machinery.
Berry is not an NRA division ad-
miniStrator.
The work relief organization has
been developed by the President af-
ter considerable thought and close
attention to all the details involved
in his determination to get the
government out of this business of
relief"
President Roosevelt plans to ad-
minister the relief fund through a
board of which he himself is to be
chairman. The other members are
to be Harold Ickes, secretary of in
terror; Administrator Harry Hop
kins of the FERA; Administrator
James A. Mofferr of the FILA; Ad-
ministrator Arthur E. Morgan of the
Tennessee Valley Authority. and
Director Robert Fechner of the
CCC. ......
The crystallization of White
House opinion regarding the new
relief administration is of such re-
cent origin that the President is not
yet ready to announce his program.
Many persons in Washington who
usually are acquainted with new
deal" developments have not been
informed of the plan.
| In addition to the supervisory
board which Mr.. Roosevelt be-
lieves should be called the works
board, there will be a coordinator
and a secretary. :.
While no definite selection of a
secretary has been made it has
been believed by some that Ad-
miral c. j. Peoples, who aided in
preparation of the work program,
might be offered the job.
Berry is president of the Inter-
national Pressmen's Union and a
leading figure in the American
Federation of Labor for years.

YOUTH HELD
FOR ASSAULT
ON HIS SISTER

LOS ANGELES, Feb. II. W.P)-A
81 -year-old youth, William Hardy,
maddened by a dispute over a bull
terrier, perhaps fatally beat his
half-s sister with a hammer, accord
ing to police today.
The child. Helen Williams, 8, was
reported dying from skull frac-
lures, cuts and bruises. Police sur
geons took $50 stitches in her face
and head.
The brother appeared at his
home partly disrobed and told an
incoherent story that two men kid
naped the girl. He said he was es-
corting her to school when two men
drove up in an automobile and
forced him to remove his clothes,
drove him few blocks and re-
leased him, while taking the girl.
He returned to his home where
their mother, Mrs. Katherine Hardy
Williams, called police.
Authorities went to the street cor
ner where Hardy said the kidnap-
ing took place and found his road
ster. Upon opening the rumble seat
they found the unconscious child,
her clothes drenched with blood.
She had been there more than two
hours.
After lengthy questioning, Hardy,
according to police, confessed that
he and his sister quarreled over the
death of a pet bull terrier and he
struck her over the head with the
hammer. AS he crammed her into
the rumble seat, she was still con-
scious and, police said, he struck
her several more blows VIII the
claw-hammer.
Hardy admitted he removed his
bloody garments in the garage and
rushed into the house, according to
officers.
At the hospital, doctors said the
girl was suffering from basal and
frontal skull fractures, numerous
oontusions. All her front teeth were
knocked out.
Mrs. Williams was at a loss to ex-
plain the attack. She said the two
had been on friendly terms. Hardy
is a son by former marriage. Her
second husband, Helen's father, was
killed in an automobile accident two
years ago.
Hardy was held on charges of as
sault pending outcome of the girls
wounds.

TRUCK CODE
EXPLAINED To
LOCAL LIONS

Relationship of transportation to
business was the subject of the in
tereSting talk given at this Moons
meeting of the Lions club, held at
the California with w. H. KeSsler
of San Francisco, attorney for the
code authority for the trucking in
dustry as the speaker.
Kessler traced the development
of this relationship between trans
portation and business, pointing out
that in the beginning each COM
munity grew and produced only
those goods which could be con-
sumed by that community.
With growth of farming and in
dustry, the surplus goods had to be
sold outside the community and the
need for transportation for the dis
posal of tins surplus, developed.
The speaker declared that the ne
cessity and Importance of transpor-
tation to business was brought to
his attention most forcefully at the
time Of the San Francisco strike last
summer. Transportation was paral-
yzed and business, as result, was
at standstill. Business is utterly
dependenv upon transportation to-
day, stated Kessler. declaring trans
portation to be the life blood OF
business.

concert to be given this evening at

WILENTZ ENDS
ARGUMENT IN
kIONAP CASE
Continued from page u

who wrote 81 Am A Fugitive from
the Georgia Chain Gang
Throughout an entire court day
the attorney general poured sar-
casm and investiye upon the de-
fenSe case built up by Edward j.
Reilly OF Brooklyn.
He ridiculed the defense witness
es. attacked their testimony, expos
ed their weaknesses, called atten-
ion to their records, and matched
them against the state S 100 wit
neSSes, ranging from Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh to Bronx taxicab
drivers, as to veracity and credibil-
ity.
His most sensational statement
came when he declared the states
belief that the child was not killed
in the kidnaper's descent from the
nursery, but was given "a crushing
blow" in the nursery.
He declared several of the wit
nesses. including Hauptmann him
self, had perjured themselves on the
witness stand.
The prisoner never flincned, even
when Wilentz flung at him the
word murderer" But he sat ner-
vously, his face flushed to a deep
crimson, and at times he writhed
uneaSily in his seat.
Justice Trenchard may take two
hours for his charge, in which case,
the matter of life or death for
Hauptmann will rest with the jury
at noon tomorrow.

Taking their cue from three
great patriots. whose birthdays are
observed in February. the FL Gen.
tro firemen have dedicated their
26th annual ball which will be held
on Washington's birthday, TO the
cause of patriotism, under the title
Patriotic Parade"
In explaining the title of the
ball the firemen point out that
Washington's birthday originally
was the official date set for their
annual ball. In recent years it
became the custom to hold the ball
on the Friday night nearest TO
washington's birthday. This year
that date comes on Friday and the
firemen will be once more back on
their original date.
February, Washington's BIRTH
day. and the fact that there is so
much talk of Communism and
radicalism, combined to induce us
to join patriotism with our annual
entertainment to the people of FL
Centro," Chief Reams said. "and
we invite all Imperial Valley to
join with us in dancing, in re-
dedicating ourselves to love Of our
country and to pay homage TO
three great MISUNDERSTANDING
ton, Lincoln and Edison"
AS usual a barbecue dinner will
be one of the big features of the
firemen's ball, or "P trio ic
Parade" as it will be called. The
committee in charge has plans for
providing plenty of barbecued
meat and all the necessary trim
mings to give all who attend the
ball real big dinner. supper or
whatever they wish to call it.
A nine piece orchestra has been
obtained for the occasion and
dancing will start at o'clock to
continue until the dancers don't
want any more. There will also
be a splendid entertainment pro-
gram with several surprise num-
bers.
Tickets for the ball will go on
sale within the next few days and
the public will be given an op-
portunity to obtain them.
Committees named for tn c
Patriotic Parade" are as follows
the first named in each instance
being chairman:
