LET THE STATE
COME CLEAN


JUNE ohIAN crime committed by
Martin Moore in the Ashevlle ClevcnSer
murder. we do feel that even after his trial
he should be accorded the common rights
of the law without the state being a Stlckler
for technicalitieS.
Despite the fact that ne failed to qualify
for an appeal to the Supreme Court IN
fOrma pauperiS, his appeal should be al
lowed to 90 through and the matter heard
by the highest court.
With his confession as a matter OF record,
he cannot be found innocent, yet he should
have the satisfaction of knowing when he
meets death that the state did not deny him
the full right to which any citizen is entitled.
Yesterdays news reported that the high
court doubtless would not allow Solicitor
Nettle's motion for dismissal at this time,
but would call for the record of the trial
court and review the case as is the custom.
To be sentenced to death for a crime
, against society is bad enough. but to go to
/, that death without the satisfaction of know
ing that the highest authority had not heard
and passed on the question, would be bitter
, indeed.
, The terrible moments of the lonely walk
, and last goodbycs, the realization of utter
futility and hopclcssness, the last, longing
look at the world outside the bars are ter
ribfe enough to the condemned.
When Martin Moore ShufflcS slowly to
, his retributiOn and atonement for his crime,
, let him at least have the satisfaction of
knowing that his rights even as a con-
denned man were not denied because the
state took advantage of technicalitics.

Prices declined fractions to
more than a point, erasing most
of the gains made when stocks
went to fivc-year highs Tuesday.
Trading volume held around the
| 500. .O0O-share level but no par
ticular selling pressure was noted.
Primary factors before traders
included:

economic problems, resulting IN
engagement of $8,365,000 in gold
in France for shipment to the
United States as the franc re-
manned around the gold point.
.. Further labor disSenSion re-

3. A tendency to caution by
traders pending the Maine cleo
ton next week.
The great Stabilization funds nf
Great Britain and the United
States were reported to be at work
attempting to prevent too wide a
sweep in sterling and dollars. Dc
spite this. sterling went to a high
for the yCar-S5.06.
Frances economic problems are
becoming more confused, bringing
greater flights of capital from that
nation.
Should France be forced to
abandon gold--and many in the
nation speak Of it--Other gold bloc
nations likely would have to fol-
low suit. despite the fact that the
Swiss today reduced the bank rate.
That might bring another Scram-
bic in the International money
market as solutions for new

United States, with but 20 or %
gold medals, must think of some
thing. II might not be a bad idea
for our side to claim first places
for kicking more members off the
team, for the most ragged march
ing on opening day, for winning
a majority of events that really
matter, and for having Gus Kirby
the most prominent brass hat on
the field during the track events.
Yes, our side should get at least
so points for Kirby.
If the United States would follow
Germany's lead and start claiming
everything in sight, then all other
nations would fall in line and eV
erybody could go home claiming
victory and very happy Hungary,
for example, could place a premium
of 1000 points on fencing with sa-
bers, which 1T won And China
could vote itself the same for the
five hurdles its "hurdlers" knocked
down in one race. Bermuda, Ice
land, and other countries which
didn't score a point could grant
themselves victory on the grounds
that two last places were as good
as one first.
On second thought, this plan
wouldn't work out, for it would give
Germany an idea and it would vino
up with an even million points
Right off the bat Deutschland
would claim at least thousano
points for the most awkward bator.

basketball for being the only nation

But let's not get bitter about who
won the games. Let's be impartial
and fair. Let's just say the United

BERLIN, Aug. Is. UP)-Competi-
ton in the eleventh Olympaid closes
today and the athletes will retire
in favor of the statisticians.
The statisticians, who have been
uuartered in the back room of ar
adding machine company for two
weeks. will each and everyone
charge forth and attempt to devise
system for scoring which will
prove their own, their native lands
won the games in a breeze.
II isn't difficult to guess what
type of scoring the German chief
accountant will use in making his
final tally 1t is certain to be what
is known as the "collapsible kayak =
This is a system which gained its
name from the fact that it gives
Just as much credit for a first place
in the collapsible kayak event, or
any other 10 cent store competition,
as it does for first place in a major
event such as the 100 meter dash.
That Germany intends to apply
the "CoIlapsible Kayak" formula
in making its final tally is no
1ecret, for the newspapers already
have tipped the statistician's hand
by their treatment of Olympic
news. All during the games their
most flambOyant type and top
headlines have been reserved for
Gcrman triumphs, no matter how
silly the event.
The day Jesse Owens won his
third major medal, the papers gave
it only half as much space as they
devoted to the fact that a couple
of cask calved NaZis named Joe ha6
pedalled to victory in Tandem
bicycle competition. The fact that
a tandem is nothing more than a
bicycle for two, and that the tri-
umph was scored out in the woods
before barely a quorum of custom
ers, didn't matter at all.
Using its own scoring, Germany
is a cinch to win, for it's perfor
mers have held a death grip on a
silly symphony of events from the
start. The Nazis had something
like 27 gold medls at the start Of
the final day, and most of them
were won in such Rube Goldberg

2. Finding someone who can
fight him.
Graves easy. one e-round victory
over George Lujon here Friday
night is a case in point. As the
fans left the arena there was ar
undercurrent of the sort Of feel
ing which means that the match
maker is in for a bit of hard sled
ding. The FL Centre Negro's short
right jab. which dropped Lujon
in one minute and As seconds of
the first canto. won him the ad-
miraJion of the ringworms-but
it brought to them also the desire
to see a fighter equipped to meet
Graves on even ground.
The way it works was amply
demonstrated I'll the same caro-
which saw Graves win so handily.
Big Boy Hogue. who had not been
beaten until Friday night, took
a first class shellacking from Joe
Garcia of the San Diego A. c. in
a fight that went the full route
and was packed with punches ev-
cry second. Garcia deserved to
win. but Hogue went out OF the
ring a better drawing card than
when he went in, and probably
better fighter The fans ha6
seen him aSsimilate punishment
and they were all for him.
Big Boy Hogue's loss may be
expected also TO have an effect
on his twin. although Shorty

out punch on the chin OF Georgia

of the first round Friday night.
And Morrisette needs further i'm
provement before he can meet
the Negro on even ground.
The hope of the El Centre club
was not dimmed considerably by
the Bomber problem, however.
There is a good out, wrapped UP
in a mess of fights such as the
10 staged Friday. The more fights,
the more gloves fly, and the more
gloves flying, the more fans like
it.
A new wrinkle in amateur fight
ing appeared in Ell Centro stimuli
taneouSly with the matter Of al
opponent for the dusky menace
1t was the matching of one fighter
in two bouts. Pablo ESpudo was
one who essayed it, handing john
