Roscoe Toles And
Godoy In Return Go

The injured leg OF Roscoe Toles,
leg which caused postpone
men OF one week for his return
bout with Arturo Godoy at Univer-
sity OF Detroit Stadium. Is the most
discussed and most important
phase OF the fight game along
cauliflower Row these days.
In case you are not acquainted
with the little episode which has
propelled Detroit into a promoters
war. let's give you a little inside
imost likely. outsider Information
about the story OF who Burned
Roscoe Toles?'
II seems that while Roscoe was
training for his return bout with
Godoy at Recreation gymnasium
last week. he suffered scratch
on mis- right leg Someone land,
Watson. everyone's trying to dis
cover who was who and when
splashed a trifle too much iodine
on the sore, irritating the injury
TO such an extent that the bout
had to be postponed from July Is
TO August 4
And this has caused charges OF
conniving TO be hurled in all direc-
lions. Scotty Montieth, promoter
OF the bout between Godoy and
Toles. has not been bit reluc-
tant In placing the blame for the
heavy splashing OF iodine on Toles'
leg at the door OF the firm OF Jack
Kearns and Tom Walsh.
Roscoe. a modest and mild-man-
nered chap, is rather reticent about
the whole affair. He explains that
It was an old injury which has
been aggravated recently and Is
causing him plenty OF trouble.
However. he thinks that he will be
able to get back into harness this
week.
Al the same time Dave Clark,
who meets Dominic Ceccarelli In
the semi-final Of the Toles-Godoy
bout, has been busy getting in con-
dItion for what many claim will be
his hardest test since turning pro-
fessional tyo years ago.

 He contended that the board of aldermen, as power is conveyed by Section 56 of the city charter, lacked authority to act in the mat ter and held that Section 67 of the charter was improperly interpreted by the merit system counsel and supporters.
 Question Raised
 Question was raised as to pro- visions of the General Statutes for creation of civil service and the merit system counsel claimed that their proposal had been especially devised ito meet the situation in Waterbury" This, because, they said they felt that the General Statutes, It's section relating to civil service devised in 1911, was ito general"

Connor, earlier, had presented his motion to quash the writ of man. damus. Judge Dickenson questioned members ot counsel on various of their citations and indicated famil- iarity with the case at hand and that of c similar matter which was decided for the city administration in Hartford.
 Chairman Upson accused the board of aldermen, excepting the four Republican members he rep- resented, of abuse of discretionary power' by what he termed their tossing away of the labor of sec- curinf 5000 signatures" claimed for the merit systems petition.
 Should Judge Dickenson decide that the writ of mandamus action is proper procedure, then the next move by the counsel for the board of aldermen in support of their con- tention that the proposal is illegal, probably will be an appeal to the supreme court. Whether such an ape peal would stay execution of the writ may be indicated In the deci- sion of Judge Dickenson.

 MT. Harris obtained information as to procedure for setting up a To- cal housing authority both ct Wash- ington and Hartford, and the mayor TOW will appoint committee to act on the matter.
 Most Serious Condition
 The condition in Waterbury as relates to housing of the low income groups has been described as most serious by welfare officials and others. Rents for those cared for by the welfare department have been unavailable, in numerous instances Evictions have resulted in the de" partment having to separate large families in such @ manner that one family might be divided into three Or four furnished rooms in different sections of the city, the department having to pay cost of storage of the family's furniture.
 MT. Harris has pointed to slum conditions in some sections which he termed, "disgraceful" and the gen. eral set.up of the city's housing for the low income groups has been found inadequate.
 Wagner Act Provisions
 The Wagner Act provides for homes to cost $4,000, or $l,000 per room, for cities of the size of Water- bury. Question now has been raised as to whether, in the light of pro- viding suitable quarters for the many large families in the low in- come group, these will prove ade- quate.
 The survey disclosed that the ten cities which rated highest were, in order: Binghamton, N. r.; Burling- ton, Vt.; Portland, Me-; Reno, Nev.; Erie, Pa.; Syracuse, N. r.; San Diego, Cal; Hagerstown, Md; Wa. teFbury, Conn.,; and Worcester. Mass.
 The ten lowest cities on the list were: Jacksonville, Fla; Columbia, s. O.; Little Rock, Ark; Wheeling. W. Va.; Charletown, 8 O.; Paducah, Ky; Jackson, Miss; Knoxville, Tenn; Atlanta, Ga.; and (lastj Birmingham, Ala.

 Turning to Spain, he said that non intervention was possible only:
 "If 1t IS observed by all with ef- fective supervision, above all with unanimous, sincere acceptance of law for all, manifested by withdrawal by each country of It's nationals who are participating in the civil war
 "If this Is not done," he continued "if the influx of combatants ana arms were to increase, the danger would be much greater owing to another aspect of the problem: The menace of the rupture of equilibrium, to the detriment of the legitimate interests and vital needs of other countries"

 And the overwhelming majority of the American people fully un- derstand and completely approve that course as the course of the pres- ent government of the United States.
 Must Obey People
 'To hold to that course our con- stitutional democratic form of gov- ernment must meet the insistence of the great mass of our people that economic and social scurity and the standard of American living be raised from what they are to levels which the people know our resources justify.
 "Only by succeeding in that can we insure against internal doubts to the worthwhileness of our democ- racy and dissilpate the illusion that the necessary price of efficiency is dictatorship with its attendant spirit of aggression.
 That is why I have been saying for months that there is Q crisis in American affairs which demands action now-a crisis particularly dangerous because It's external and internal difaeulsles Feinforce eaoh othsg."

 Japanese Suspected It
 The Japanese had suspected that the Mukden anniversary would be made the occasion for counter-at. tack, and their field artillery laid down a heavy barrage. The Chi nese attacked nevertheless, and their reports from the front said that the Japanese fire was almost without effect.
 The rains were bad news for the Japanese. For two days their air. planes and tanks had been useless, It meant that the Shanghai rainy season had started, and that for from one to two months there should be frequent heavy rains each day.
 The front continued indetermin- ate, with the Japanese stoutly re- sisting the counter attacks of the Chinese. Both sides still claimed control of the key town of Lotien and each side continued to insist that the other held the Kiangwan- International race course sector.
 Japs Have Set Trap
 TientSin, China, Sept. 1S-(UP) Two powerful Japanese forces moved today to trap three Chinese divisions in the Chochow area 40 miles southwest of Peiping and send them retreating into the mountains.
 The coordinating drives were on two fronts near the Peiping- Han. kow railway, designed as a "pincer' attack, Japanese authority said.
