SAME MANAGER CONTROLS BOTH RING PRINCIPALS
SOresi Boss of Camera and Gastanaga, Garden
 Opponents Friday
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY United Press Stan COrrespondent) (COnyriRht By United Pressl

tCOpyrlght By United FreSsD
 New York, March {. (UP)-Primo Camera, former heavyweight chan- pion, Meets Isidoro Gastanaga of Spain in Q i0-round bout in Madi- son Square Garden Friday night.
 Louis Soresi is Cameras manager of record. R. D. Rizzi is handling Castanaga's affairs. Rizzi, who until recently was an employe of Soresi, still resides in the same hotel with Carnera's manager. Under New York state athletic commission rules two fighters under the same man. agement are not allowed to meet in the ring.
 Soresi, who became Cameras manager after the giant Italian dis- solved partnership with Leon Sec, his discoverer, recently failed in ail attempt to purchase contract held on Gastanaga by Solly King, who managed the Spaniard on his first trip to the United States . few years ago. Kings contract, which which was drawn Up in Chicago in 1883, does not expire until May, l038
 King has attached Gastanagas purse for the Camera bout and plans to start legal proceedings to protect his contract for all of the Spainard's bouts in this country. While Gastanaga was in Cuba, he wired King for money to come to New York and again fight under Kings management. While attempt- ing to get matches for Gastanaga prior to bringing him to this coun- try, King said he received the fol- lowing wire from the pugilist:
 Unless you wire $500 immediate ly I'm sailing to fight for Soresi."
 King said the next thing he knew was that Gastanaga was in New York. training to fight Camera.
 When the New York State Ath- letic commission was told of this, General John J. Phelan said last night he didn't know who was man. aging Oastanaga but would look into the matter today.
 Shortly after Gastanaga's arrival here, he was in the company of Soresi and Rizzi at the offices of the New Yorl; commission. While there Soresi introduced Rizzi as "Gastanagas new manager to ono of the most prominent boxing men in New York.
 Relations between Camera and Soresi have been strained recently because of the managers interst in Jorg Brescia, South American heavyweight. Camera attempted to break away from 6oresi recently by signing to fight for promoter Mike Jacobs

WESLEYAN BOY
 MAY BE CHOSEN !. FOR OLYMIPCS
Degnan, Breast Stroke Swimmer, Is Keen Con.
 tender for Honor

Middletown, Conn, March G. After having broken the New Eng land Intercollegiate breast stroke record four times during the present season, Captain Kenneth Degnan of the Wesleyan University swimming team looms as Q strong possibility for the Olympic swim- ming team. If he wins the honor, he will be the first Wesleyan man on an Olympic squad since James I. Wendell I3, hurdler, and now headmaster of Hill school, was a member of the olympic track team.
 Specialist
 Captain Degnarl, New York city boy, was breast stroke champion of the Public School Athletic League before coming to Wesleyan. He set the New England Intercollegiate breast stroke record for 200 yards last year with a time of 2:34.8. He has broken that record four times this year, his best time being 2:30.6. The worlds record is 2:242.
 If three breast stroke swimmers are chosen for the Olympic squad, Degnan has @ good chance of being chosen as the thirr member. Hig- gins of the Olneyville Boys Club in Providence and Kasley of the Uni- versity of Michigan are regarded as sure bets for the swimmings squad in this division.
 Degnan's chances depend very largely on his showing in the New England Intercollegiates ct Wil- liamstown on March 13 and 14, the Eastern Intercollegiates on the goth and Fist, and the National Inter- collegiates, he should better his own record.

THE RELIEF HEADACHE

THROUGH the looking glass of politics in cam
paign year your ordinary citizen gazes, like
Alice, into crazy world Little things appear big
and big things little Partisan Mad Hatters and
Mock Turtles talk endless nonsense One is told the
sea is boiling hot and pigs have wings.
SO sensible folk will discount the more in
temperate of the charges being eveled at the
bloody but unbowed, head of Harry Hopkins. over
worked and under-appreciated man of all (made)
work
We believe that time will accord Harry Hopkins
a verdict of which any American would be proud.
He faced Gargantuan task. He had to move
quickly. spend billions freely and cut all corners
That he has met the cry for bread and jobs from
millions, unaided by precedent or policy without
hint of major graft is something of a record. The
surprising thing is not that from here and there
charges of favoritism and politics; it that
there have not been more. Particularly in a cam
paign year.
However, the American people whole are
not happy about this relief picture. They know it
is the great national headache. They want jobs
for the jobess not doles for the starving and they
knew the Federal government must supply money
and leadership and for some time to come
But they also know there is a vast amount of
wasted effort and money and that great savings in
wealth and human values could be effected through
more orderly program.
The creation of National Relief Policy Board
has been urged as way to evolve such program,
to tie relief into other Federal security services
to plan coordination of local. state and Federal
efforts; to get in social enrichment and hui
rehabilitation from the billions we now are
spending.
The care of millions of jobless and the gradual
liquidation of the relief problem is too big job
for one 1t would be too big for superman.
The best brains of the republic are needed to
solve it.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

DOOR little Freddie Bartholomew! Like so many
u other children he seems destined to be dragged
through the courts by two women who profess to
love him. And maybe they do. One hesitates to-
express an opinion on such meager information as
news reports give.
From historical records we do know that women
have often battled children when those
children did not have potential fortunes in their fin
gers. Distracted claimants for the same baby came
before Solomon, you remember, and he gained much
of his reputation for wisdom by his decision in that
case. He announced he would sever the child in
twain. giving each woman her half But the real
mother cried in anguish at the judgment, so he de-
livered the infant into ner hands.
Although we hear occasionally of legal strife
over poor child it is undeniaby true that most
court cases in which children are involved hinge
some day may be rich.
We shall err, too if we believe the mother to
be always right in such controversies Unfortunately
motherhood does not guarantee a complete change
of disposition in the individual. The selfish woman
remains selfish and the continues
mean, matter how many children she may have
In FreddieS case, the aunt seems to have done
most for the childs career. Perhaps it was chance
but at least she promoted him into the movies and
what appears will be a distinguished future
The situation nevertheless is deplorahle. How
ever the quarrel ends the boy will be its victim
Millions of people who remember him best as the
appealing young David Coppereld will be sorry for
that. But stop-here is another Thought It's
swell publicity stunt getting us all worked up over
Freddie, his aunt. and his mama Perhaps the press
agents are behind it.

A MAJOR MENACE

CTATE health officers, at annual conference in
- Washington, devoted full day to discussion of
the dread widespread disease of syphilis Here are
some of the things the health officers said:
That estimated 100000 American men, wom-
en- and children suffer this aflicton;
That an estimated 100000 new cases a year
should be given treatment but that only about 1O00-
900 cases actually do receive treatment;
That in the opinion of Surgeon General Parran
new head of the United States Public Health Serv-
ice the control and eradication of this disease would
constitute more important contribution to society
than discovery of a method of mmunzing against
infantle paralysis;
That syphilis is lone absolutely comfortable dis
ease; that the cause and mode of spread is known;
that diagnosis by blood tests is reliable and that
tried methods of treatment are effective;
That despite the medical worlds competency to
combat this disease it continues to spread because
of public ignorance on the subject, because many
doctors have not been educated to recognize early
symptoms and because of lack of facilities for free
treatment of millions of sufferers who have not the
money to buy the cure.
HERE are some of the things the health officers
- proposed:
Compulsory examination of the entire popula-
ton t, search out the 10 Der cent said to be in
fected
Providing at public expense clinics for free treat
ment o. a mass scale;
Prov,ding. also at public expense, better labora-

WHEN DOES A BOONDOGGLE?
New York World Telegram


THE annual report of the Mellon Institute of IN
i dustrial Research makes us think it was lucky
for the Administration that the WPA wasn't back
of all these projects.
Suppose, for example, the WPA had foStered the
Mellon Institutes shaving clinic, which just COM
pleted scientific analysis of the perfect shave. 1t
went into the whole subject, from particular steel
alloys which give the perfect blade to the effects of
razor design upon the shape of the hair stump re-
manning the face" One learned conclusion is
that adequate facial preparation prior to the shaw
ing operation" is essential This knowledge cost
three years effort.
Well that's science, and we take it with due
seriousness. If it were just another WPA boondog-
gle it certainly would be laugh But how are we
always to tell the difference? Perhaps that depends
upon whether the sponsor back of it is Harry Hop
kins or Uncle Andy Mellon.
