Louis Will Not
Beat Top Notchers,
Says Jack Dempsey

NEW YORK, July 6. UR)-Jack
Dempsey has been criticized con-
siderably by some of the boxing
writes for his alleged statement that
Joe Louis has a glass jaw and will
never lick any first class fighter"
In the face of this criticism, the
Old ManasSa Mauler today refused
TO back down on his insinuations
that Louis can not take a good
wallop to the head.
IT don't remember saying that
Louis has a glass jaw" Dempsey
explained. But what told report
ers after his fight with Schmeling
meant almost the same thing, SO
we'll forget about that part of it.
Il don't say Louis can't take it
merely because he was knocked out, y
Jack continued. II figure anybody
can be knocked out if hit right. But
Joe showed that he wasn't rugged
when he went wobbling and found
cred around the ring almost every
time Schmeling landed a right on
the side of his cheek or head
Under the circumstances, I think
Louis proved that he has plenty of
heart-that he is as game as they
! make 'em but he amt rugged-and
never will be at any top notch
heaVieS."

contender for the honor of being
the leading midget driver OF the
year.
Herrick doomed his car all OF the

Herrick's number car is rated
as one of the fastest on the track

tryout finals yesterday to win the
United States title and the right

The Huskies stepped up a terrific
pace on Lake Carnegie yesterday
to pull their slim boat past the pick
of the nations oarsmen and finish
only a second and three-fifths short
of the world record.
Washington finished more than a

NEW YORK, July 6. U.P)-The
National League today embraced
its own little heat wave, and with
first division standings changing
almost daily, the most torrid flag

arate the leading Cards from the
fifth place Giants today.
Every team in the first division
snapped places yesterday. The
Cardinals traded places with the
Cubs, climbing from second to
first and the Pirates took third
from the Reds who were reduced
to fourth. Despite losing, the gi-
ants were in virtual tie with
Cincinnati, only one percentage
point away from the first division

garden and come through to the
END of the summer without one
dollar of cash resources, facing
a winter without feed or food
facing a planting season without
seed to put in the ground.
That was the extreme case but
there are thousands and thou
sands of Families on Western
farms who share the same diff
culties.
Helpless Farmers
saw cattlemen who because OF
lack of grass or lack Of winter
feed have been compelled to sell
all but their breeding stock and
will need help to carry even these
through the coming winter. I saw
live stock kept alive only because
water had been brought to them
long distances in tank cars. I saw
other farm families who have not
lost everything but who because
they have made only partial crops
must have some form Of help If
they are to continue farming next
spring.
I shall never forget the fields OF
wheat so blasted by heat that they
cannot be harvested. I shall never
forget field after field Of corn
stunted. earless and stripped OF
leaves, for what the sun left the
grasshoppers took. I saw brown
pastures which would not keep a
COW on so acres.
Yet would not have you think
for a single minute that there is
perma nent disaster in these
drought regions, or that the pic.
ture I saw meant depopulating
these areas. No cracked earth, no
blistering sun, no burning wind,
no grasshopperS are a permanent
match for the indomitable Ameri-
can farmers and stockmen and
their wives and children who have
carried on through desperate days,
and inspire us with their self-re.
lance, their tenacity and their
courage. 1t was their fathers task
to make homes; it is their task to
keep those homes; it is our task to
help them win their fight.
Don't Want Dole
First let me talk for a minute
about this autumn and the COM
ing winter. We have the option,
in the case of families who need
actual subsistence, Of putting them
on the dole or putting them to
work. They do not want to go
on the dole and they are one
thousand per cent right. We
agree, therefore, that we must
put them to work for decent
wage; and when we reach that
decision we kill two birds with
one stone, because these families
will earn enough by working, not
only to suhsist themselves, but to
buy food for their stock, and seed
for next years planting. Into
this scheme of things there fit Of
course the Government lending
agencies which next year, as in
the past, will help with produc-
ton loans.
Every Governor with whom
have talked is in full accord with
this program of providing work
for these farm families, just as
every Governor agrees that the
individual States will take care Of
their unemployables but that the
cost Of employing those who are
entirely able and willing to work
must be borne by the Federal
Government.
No New Question
IF then we know, as we do
today, the approximate number
of farm families who will require
some form of work relief from
now on through the winter, we
face the question of what kind OF
work they should do. Let me make
It clear that this is not new Ques-
ton because it has already been
answered to a greater or less
