left the ring, he turned his back on

into half run. The crowd laughed.
1t may be the last laugh Baer will

The first punch Louis landed sent
Lazer on the road to his first defeat
in SO bouts. The Scowling. heavy
bearded Paterson IN. j. boy was
frightened when he came out at the
opening bell. Louis calmly stalked
him. and laid a stiff right punch on
his jaw. From then on Lazer was

Before the first round was over
Louis had opened a streaming gash
over his left eye.

Louis fought cautiously in the sec

caught up with Lazer in retreat.
The third round produced the
thrills. A short left hook flush on
LAYERS chin dropped him for a nine
count. When he came up Louis
rushed hlm, ripped both fists to the
head several times and Lazer went
down for another nine count. He
was barely able to rise.
Lazer staggered against the ropes
and Louis caught him there. A one

Hebrew unconscious. He toppled to
the floor. His whole body was stiff.
He couldn't move. His seconds threw
in the towel but it wasn't necessary.

D. {. TO SET UP
OWN RELIEF

Coupled with an announce
ment that all Federal relief in
the District will be stopped NO
vember IS, Commissioner George
E. Allen said today that the Dis
trict will set up it's own relief
organization after that date.
This action was forced by Or
ders from FERA headquarters to
the effect that no more Federal
funds would be granted the Dis
trict to care for relief cases. The
District had a fund of 100000
for relief which has been cut
down to $1,50O,0OO through
monthly appropriations of $780,
666 to supplement Federal funds.
With a final grant of $250,000
and the monthly fund, Commits
sioner Allen said he has $416,666
for this months expenses, out Of
which he plans to salvage some
money.
It was pointed out that unless
the Federal Government changes
it's stand and grants additional re-
lief funds the only alternative for
the District is to use its own relief
fund.
Commissioner Allen said that
1854 are now at work on WPA
projects and will not be affected
by the new setup. There are 4,50O
persons on relief rolls awaiting to
be transferred to WPA rolls and
4,500 unemployableS who will have
to be cared for under the new re-
lief setup.
The new setup will be admin
istered by the present staff. All
persons now on relief must
register with the new organization
after November Is. All special
work relief projects, including
adult education and nursery
schools, will be stopped.

War Inadmissable
In pledging Russian support,
v. P. Potemkin, ambassador to
France, said:
"War is inadmisSable. There is
no difference between a conflict
in Africa and conflict in Eu-
rope. World conflicts must be
prevented and to do so collective
attitude against war is neces-
sary."
The committee of 50 adjourned
at 5:42 p. m.
Sir Samuel Hoare, in a long
meeting with Baron Pompeo
Aloisi, of Italy, stated bluntly that
Great Britain could not withdraw
one ship from the Mediterranean
before Italy withdraws her extra
large troop forces from Libya and
before the violent anti-Brtish press
attacks in Italy cease.
Additions Expected
The League committee govern
ing sanctions was expected to add
several all.important raw ma
terials to the list of goods to be
denied Italy. These included pc
troleum, iron, steel, and copper.
Their exclusion from Italy would
be by far the most serious blow yet
dealt Rome.
The Canadian delegate to the
League proposed that fuel oil and
coal that Italy needs for her fac
tories and ships be denied her.
Russia was expected to support
this step.
In telling Baron Aloisi that
Britain could not decrease her
huge Mediterranean fleet at pres
ent, Sir Samuel declared that
Britain always wanted to strive
for a pacific arrangement as soon
as possible. However, he declared
Britain would not tolerate any set

either Emperor Halle selassie or
the League.
It was understood both the
italian and British governments
were anxious to deny the false
impression" that an Italo-British
tension exists. It was learned
that Sir Samuel declared he
would do his best to dissipate
such impressions when he re-
turns to London. The Italian
press ann 1igns and the presence
Of the British forces in Libya
were blamed.
Britain, however, can make
none of the moves Italy desires
until Italy acts first as demanded
by Sir Samuel.
The coordinating committee
was called to meet this after
noon to discuss and probably
adopt the additional raw mater
ials proposal. They would not
be added to the list Of materials
in the original program, how
ever, until the various govern
mentS have been consulted and
their replies considered.
Canadian Proposal
Thus the originally planned
boycott would go into effect No
vember 18. Later, as next step,
the petroleum products, iron, steel,
pig iron and copper would be
banned. This, League diplomats
believed, would severely cripple
Italy.
The Canadian proposal goes
even further. It was made before
the committee Of 18, which has
the power to extend the economic
sanctions already voted. The eX.
pected Russian approval was
most significant, since Russia
supplies most of Italy'S fuel oil.
Italy was expected to turn to
the United States for oil if the
League bans it.
The South African delegate fol-
lowed the Canadian delegate to
propose that "all these raw ma
terials destined for non-member
and deserter states" be placed on
a quota basis "to prevent their
leaking on to Italy"
"DeSerter states" was the term
applied to Austria, Hungary, and
Albania, who refused to agree to
cooperate in sanctions.
