MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 29-Mr. frankie
Klick didn't.
Didn't click, mean.
They sent the Frisco Kid out
against Barney Ross here last night
and at the finish OF 10 rounds.
Frankie readily broke down and ad-
mitted that those pre-battle state
ments of his, in which he promised
to chase the light and junior wei
terweight champion out OF the park,
were a trifle exaggerated.
He could get only three rounds,
and the more expert critics at the
ringside such as Sophie Tucker,
Jack Pearl, Helen Morgan and the
Cantor man, were of the opinion
that at least two Of these were
handed to him on silver platter
by the generous and sympathetic
Ross.
1t didn't require any expert, how
ever, to understand why Ross won
the decision. II was very simple. the
smooth, highly-geared Chicagoan
could do everything a little bit bet
ter than his opponent. He hit a lit
tie harder and a little faster; he
moved more quickly and he thought
more quickly. and he had a shade
the better of it in condition, though
he may have gained the edge there
when he drove home right in the
second round that kept Kick down
for q count of nine.
The bell probably saved the Cali
fornian in this heat, for he came
up waving like a bride at the rail-
load station, and Ross had his
right drawn back like a long bow
when the round ended
If I have made the scrap sound
like complete walk-away for Ross
Pm wrong. For it wasn't. Klick was
good enough to keep Ross hustling
and several of the rounds, particu-
larry the closing ones, were wicked
ly and savagely contested.
Lots OF Advice
Kick came out with one firsl
place, however-he had far anc

The crowd of $500. partisan to

Van Klaveren wept in his corner
and for a time he refused to shake
hands with the Fresno, Calf, fight

the middleweight title held by Ted

Once during the fight Corbett
was on the verge of being knocked
out. In the first round, Van Klay-
eren caught the former champion
flush on the jaw with a right. Cor
bett flew back against the ropes so
hard they burned his back. His
knees buckled. Van Klaveren got

dropped Corbett for no count. But
Corbett weathered the attack and
came back fresh for the second
round. After that he fought more
cautiously.
Corbett never has been beaten in
San Francisco. In his last four
fights here he has defeated Babe
Marino, Young Terry, Mickey Walk
er and Van Klaveren. He weighed
l53 pounds for last nights fight,
one and one-half pounds more than
his opponent.

gram reaches its high point in en-
ployment.
A move toward a speedy check
up of the programs operations was
started today by Harold L. Ickes,
Public Works Administrator, whose
department has been depended on
to spend a huge slice of the four
billion fund.
Secretary Ickes dispatched his five
most trusted assistants on a 14-day
airplane tour of 20 cities to confer
with regional PWA officials.
A similar checkup is contemplated
by the Works Progress Administra-
ton. Harry L. Hopkins, WPA chief,
has appointed a committee for this
purpose and will receive a prelimi-
nary report on his return next week
after a personal inspection trip in
the Middle West.
Meantime, the President is being
urged to crack the whip. He is be-
ing reminded that when CWA was
proposed, it required less than a
week to put men to work. And
whereas CWA was hurried make
shift, there was ample time to pre-
pare a great reservoir of useful
projects for work relief. The pres
ent stagnation is not blamed on a
lack of blueprints.

that the entire Roosevelt recovery

lief program. And they say each

WHOLE RELIEF
SETUP PERILED
BY RED TAPE
Roosevelt Urged by Close
Advisors to Crack
the Whip.
BY ROBERT s. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The
four billion dollar work relief pro-
gram is 30 days behind schedule
Sixty days more will probably elapse
before jobs are given to an sppreci-
able number Of the 100000 eru-
playable persons on relief.
Each months delay from now on
will extend the program beyond the
md OF the current fiscal year-next
July land push the peak Of relief
employment that much nearer to
the 1886 elections.
Last April, when President Roose-
welt described the work program in
a f1reside talk, he said funds would
be quickly spent and not held over
until later years" He said no time
or energy would be lost in making
dirt fly throughout the land.
The President based his optimism
on the expected efficiency of his
newly created Work Relief Admin
istration. He did not anticipate that
differences of opinion would COM
bine with red tape TO delay and
throw open to criticism the greatest
peacetime expenditure in history.
Program Begging Down
Today the program has begged
down. The millions whose hopes for
immediate jobs were raised find
themselves still on the dole with no
definite idea when they will be re-
moved.
So serious has the delay become
that the Presidents closest advisers
are seeking a revision of admin
istrative methods. They say red
tape must be severed. They declare
that authority must be centered in
one man. They profess to be less
interested in personalities than in
singing out some individual to
whom an order could be given to
put men to work.
Each days delay at this stage,
it is being argued, adds fuel to the
fires of anti-New Deal forces al
ready going up and down the ma
ton branding the four billion dol
lar fund pork barrel.
Called Political Plot
Harry Nice, Maryland's Republi-
can Governor, has called the delay
a political plot" He has charged
that the bulk of the spending for
employment will come next Sep
TENDER. just before the national
elections.
Even among the Democratic stall
warts of Congress, there are hints
that politics is entering into the
program. Rep. Buchanan 3D.,
Texas, chairman of the House APP
preparations Committee, now eSti-
mates pointedly that it will be 13
months before the work relief pro-

COTTON SAPPINESS

The cotton problem cannot be kissed off as light
ly as the cabinet committee seems to think.
The price of raw cotton has been artifcially
maintained by loan at high and artifcally fixed
price. In plain English, it has amounted to the
government buying, at a fixed price, all surplus
cotton for which there is market and storing it.
New crops are coming More cotton surplus
will have to be financed. Finally, with a great
mountain of undigested raw cotton on hand, a
crash is inevitable The only way to avoid it is to
burn or sink the surplus in the sea.
Now that process is called 'valorization." 1t has
been tried over and over again-with wheat, cof-
fee, sugar and rubber-but never without a ter
rible fop
Bad as that is, it is not one-thrd of the story
Cotton is an export crop. 1t has been the MAIN
stay of the South for generations. 1t is large
chunk of the nations total export trade 1t is one
of the economic props of whole business struc-
ture By maintaining this high export price we are
financing competition to drive US out of the worlds
cotton business.
One reason Italy wants Ethiopia is to raise cot
ton At this artificial price, Brazil car gase cotton
at vast profit and is going into the business with
rush. Russia is putting forth every effort to raise
cotton as is also France No policy could be invent
ed which would do more to pull down the great
cotton pillar of our economic structure-General

boy said to his teacher, who was
quizzing the class about the story
Of David and Goliath.
"What was the name of the
giant who came out every day and
shouted a challenge to the chill
dren of Israeli" asked the teach
er.
Goliath" chorused the class.
"What was the name of the
youth who accepted the challenge
and slew Goiath?" enQuired the
teacher.

"Now," said the teacher with
that air teachers adopt when they
are getting ready to give you a
hard one, "can anybody tell me
why David killed GOLIATH"
No answer.
