Lewis Can't Get
Poke at Braddock

NEW YORK (CNA) Mike
Jacobs of the goth Century Sport
ing Club and the New York State
Athletic Commission this week
turned thumbs down on a chal-
lenge by John Henry Lewis, world
light lightweight champion, to bat
tie Jim Braddock heavyweight
champion, for the heavyweight
crown.
Lewis last week easily disposed
of Len Harvey, British challenger
for his crown, in a one-sided fif-
teen round bout in London, Eng
land.
The Los Angeles boxer, weighing
1731a to Harvey's 172, had things
all his own way from the third
round, right up to the finish. He
came out unscathed except for
some slight damage to his eye
which had been damaged in train
ing.
The British challenger was fore
ed to clinch and cling all through
the latter part of the bout and APP
peared lucky to escape knock
out.
Braddock is under contract to
both Madison Square Garden and
Mike Jacobs to fight Max Schmel-
ing next June.
Rumors are current in the sport
ing world that Lewis may chal-
lenge Joe Louis for an elimination
bout.

U.S.. TRADE TOGA|N
BY SOVIET PACT
Industry Promised at Least
$30,0O0,0 900 More Dur.
ing Next Year.
BY CREsTON b. MULLINS.

American industry Is promised at
least $30,000,000 more of Russian
business during the next IL months
as the result of the extension yester-
day in Moscow for q year Of the
Soviet american trade agreement Of
July 13, 1885.
By means Of an exchange of notes
between the American charge DAFT
faireS, 10y w. Henderson, and the
assistant commissar for foreign af-
fairs, N. Krestinski, the Soviet gov
ernment was assured OF most-favored-
natiol. treatment In respect to tariff
duties and undertook ito increase
substantially the amount of purchases
in the United States Of America for
export to the Union Of Soviet Social
ist Republics"
The pledge to purchase 0,000, 900
worth Of American goods was not in
cluded in the notes, but assurance
was given this Government separately
that the appropriate Soviet economic
organizations intend to buy that
amount.
Promises Exceeded.
The Soviet government, under the
agreement expiring tomorrow. had
promised to make purchases Of $30,-
100000. but, by the end of May they
had actually made $34. 900 600, and
prospects are that the full l2-month
figures will exceed $37 100000
Average American sales to Russia
for the calendar years l932-34 were
$l2,o00,000 The State Department
credits this success to the administra-
tion's trade program, which Is based
on the reciprocal tariff agreements
negotiated under the act of June IL,
1884, amending the tariff act of 1880.
Although the Russian agreement
was concluded not under the author
ity Of this act, but under the Presi-
dents power Of executive agreement,
this more than tripling of American
exports to Russia Is attributable to the
mutual reduction Of tariff duties, al
ready effected In IA reciprocal trade
agreements with European and Latin
American countries.
The motive impelling the Russian
government to agree to buy $4,000, =
900 worth Of goods while they received
in return virtually no more than what
every other nation, except Germany
and Australia, receives free, was the
desire to retain its place as a supplier
Of manganese ore to the United States
In the face of a so per cent reduction
in tariff duties on this commodity
imported from Brazil. Thus, the Bra
lillian reciprocal agreement, in effect
since the first OF the year, brought
the United States heavy increase in
trade from Russia. the only cost being
the promise to treat Russia equally
with other countries in generalization
Of tariff reductions in reciprocal
agreements.
Cotton Increase Spectacular.
Cotton, the storm center of the
Roosevelt administration crop reduc-
ton program, has enjoyed perhaps
the most spectacular rise as an export
to Russia. More than q 400 per cent
increase - $500, 900 - occurred in
1885, the last six months Of which
was included in the trade agreement.
In general, the size of this increase
has been maintained during the first
five months Of 1885.
In spite Of huge cotton crops In
Central Asia, Russia is requiring for
eign cotton to supply the vastly larger
demand for better clothing as the
