Stark q Favorite.
ERESH from his triumph as 1887

Harvard intercollegiate champion and
erstwhile District champion, appears
to be the strongest contender in the

BY his victory over Problemist Eaton,
Stark indicates that he is up TO his
customary excellent standard and he
probably is the favorite in the eyes of
the rowing spectators.

FANS BIG LOSERS
At DULL COMBAT
Joe Gains No Prestige as
Punch-Weary Matte Goes
.1s Out in Fourth.
BY WHITNEY MARTIN.

KANSAS CITY, February l8 CP.-
Referee Walter Bates ruled it a
fourth-round knockout, SO that's the
way Joe Louis victory over Matte
Brown was on the books today. More
than a few Of the 10,222 spectators at
Municipal Auditorium last night
thought the only thing really out was
their pocketbooks.
They paid $27,138 to see the Brown
Bomber patch up his manned prestige
at the expense of the punch-weary
Washington Hebrew, who provided q
burlesque ending that must have made
journeymen wrestlers green with envy.
1t was Louis first start since his
unfortunate affair with young Bob
Pastor, in which Louis trailed by two
laps at the finish, but was given the
decision for trying. Visioning a cham
pionship bout with Jimmy Braddock
in the offing, Louis had to be the
Bomber OF old against Brown. The
5our-round knockout was the answer.
Bout Dull as Louis Eyes.
THE bout was as dull as the express
sionless eyes Of Louis. For two
rounds Brown carried the fight to the
Bomber. but neither man landed
punch hard enough to dent grape
fruit.
Midway in the third round Louis
caught Brown coming in and failed
him with short rights and lefts.
Browns face began to assume WELL
cushioned appearance. AS the round
ended he apparently was in bad way
half out on the ropes anc half out Of
his head.
The fourth was Louis subpar round.
He started at the gong, driving in a
harrage of rights and lefts which
slipped through Browns protecting
gloves to Jolt against various parts of
his anatomy. Fifteen times the Bomber
bombed without answering fire. Finally
the weary Matte sank to the floor in a
sitting position.
Louis, his face expressing the same
animation of coal scuttle, ambled
to a neutral corner. Referee Bates
started counting, ceased abruptly as
the apparently groggy Brown grabbed
him by a leg and pulled him over.
No Boost to Joe's Prestige.
Drown staggered to his feet and
weaved an unsteady way toward
the unconcerned Louis, who stood,
sofa cushion lips in a perpetual whis-
tie, idly in the corner. Before Brown
could make it, Bates recovered his
footing. took a short cut to Louis and
hoisted his hand aloft.
Bates said the timekeeper had COM
pleted the count before Brown re-
gained his feet.
The bout failed to add to Louis
prestige az planned. Browns show
ing after the first two rounds, during
which both men we're doing nothing
very seriously. was disappointing
Two years ago he stayed 10 rounds
with Louis. and his was the lone voice
in the wilderness which said he could
do it again.
For his brief exercise last night
Louis and his stockholders received
S8,826.84. Browns cut was $3.50,
which was better than in the previous
meeting, when his cuts were over both
eyes.

Hshrew Exiles

If the worlds Jews are not now in "the greatest crisis of their history" as Rabbi Stephen Wise of New York says, they seem to be near it. The persecution to which they are subject in Germany under Nazi rule is well known. Similar hard ships are threatened in Italy by one of Mussolini's latest utterances. In Poland the government has announced exile for the 100000 Jews in that country.
 The "tetalitarian states 'are strangely harsh toward this ancient and much per- secuted race. In country after country there are new evidences of cruelty and injustice. Only in America and England, of the big countries, do the Hebrews find secure refuge.
 How can Poland, or any country, eXpel 3,000,000 people? That would greatly surpass the exodus from Egypt ad the captivity in Babylon, and many another famous hegira of this and other perSecut- ed races. The Polish Jews are mostly poor, and even if they were not they would hardly be allowed to take much with them. How would they depart? Where would they go, and who of their neighbors would take them in? Such an expulsion seems impossible even physic- ally, aside fro mthe injustice and misery it would entail
 If the League of Nations has any power, or the individual powers have any sense of responsibility, it is time something decent, humane and practical were done about this problem. America has done for the Jews, but probably must do more.

Dirty Work at the ross-Roads

Just as the House was about to close It's desks for the holidays last Friday after noon, a tiny bomb was exploded in its midst. It remained for Representative Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., every inch the son of his father, the Hartford county prose cutor, to set off the detonation. He did so with the charge that druggists of the state had been polled to raise "slush fund" to beat the fair-trades act. The bill was passed, incidentally, by the House in concurrence with the Senate by the vote of IA to 94 which does not show how completely party lines were split on the topic.
 The fair-trades act is quite similar to those which have already been adopted in over thirty states. Its purpose is to prevent cut prices on trademark articles or where prices have been established be- tween producers and wholesalers. AS had been previously stated in the Senate the purpose of the bill was to outlaw cut throat competition and as such had been given plenty of independent support in both branches of the Legislature. In fact, there was but one dissenting voice in the Senate when it passed there.
 There was quite lively debate in the House over the bill, but it remained for Representative Alcorn to throw forth few hints about Hobbies, etc., when he said: 'There is talk on the floor of slush fund to put over this act. :. "He claimed to know that each of the 2,000 druggists in Connecticut had been approached to donate $20 to putting the fair-trades act across. He didn't say, however, that any member of the House had actually re- ceived any of this money
 It might be interesting to find out, though, where t he $20 bills, if they actually were donated by the druggists, went. The rest of the state would be ln- terested in how a lobby actually works. when it does work The rest of the state might also be interested in learning when the lobby bill compelling registration of all professional lobbyists, how much they get for their work, etc. will go into opera tion. Representative Acorn started something last week Who will finish it?

Cheating Uncle Sam

There's Gargantuan giggle in the Presidents story, related to Washington newspaper men, of a multimillionaire who dodged $50,000 of federal income taxes by incorporating his yatcht, signing over $3,OOO,00O of securities to it, and letting it use up the income for it's own main tenance.
 At the same time, it annoys such gig glers as happen to be making conscien- tious tax reports and paying their due share into the national treasury One such story is more effective than thous- and lectures The International Revenue Bureau has found scores of tax evasion cases said to be almost as blaring.
 The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says that such spectac- ular juggling by rich citizens has cost the federal treasury $4OO,OOO,00O this year, and is one of the chief reasons why in- come is falling so much below estimates. Don't blame it all on the big fellow. There are plenty of little fellows using up just as much time and ingenuity figuring out ways to beat Uncle Sam.

The Sums Secret

Our stoves are pretty good, but the ce- lestial gas range known as Old Sol is bet ter It gets million times more heat out of given unit of gas than anything we have here on earth, says Dr. William D. Harkins of the University of Chicago. From one pound of hydrogen, which is what the sun is mostly made of, it pro- duces as much heat as our furnaces do out of 10000 tons of coal.
 That is why the sun and other stars can emit vast quantities of light and heat for billions of years without wearing themselves out They do it, says Prof. Harkins, by burning up the nucleus of the atom, which we cannot get at. When we burn coal or oil or gas, we don't de- stroy the atoms but merely change the;r combinations, and get little heat out of the process.
 But scientists at last are learning how to tear atoms apart, experimentally, by using powerful electric charges. If they ever learn how to do it on big scale, breaking open billions of atoms at once instead of merely one here and there, man will have linitless power for his pur- poses. With such knowledge, any mate rial thing-a handful of dust, a cup of water, or a bit of air-might serve for fuel for any heat or power we needed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-02

Waterbury's motor record for the hol iday weekend is an exceptionally good one. Not one fatal accident marred the three day period. That's something to aim towards every weekend from now on until cold weather has housed large number of automobiles that are now on the highways. We do think that offi- cials of state and city can take some satisfaction in seeing a holiday weekend go by without bad crash, involving loss of life. They have cooperated to bring about safe driving in which consioera- ton for the other driver has been stressed and now good results are being reaped. If only motorists will remember that when they are thinking of what the driver coming up in the rear or approaching from the front may do in an emergency many bad accidents can be avoided. Heedlessness and thoughtlessness are re- sponsible for many crashes in which the instigator escapes scot-free.
