te-broved German who "saw
Something's" when he got his
hrst glimpse Of Joe Louis In the

Max parlayed what he saw once be-
fore into one Of boxing's most sensa :
tional bouts Of the last decade, his 12-
round knockout Of the Brown Bomber
in June. 1896. After watching Louis
go through his training maneuvers for
his bout with Tommy Farr at Pomp-
ton Lakes yesterday he proclaimed to

more eager than ever to tight him. I
can lick him sgain"
Shortly before he had exchanged

Yet Thomas Farr is planning q

the happy ending by fighting with
everybody in camp-l0 per cent Of

There is no yelling no banging Of

Formula for Scene.


HALF Of the film directors seem to
have been in the shadow of the
hot seat at one time or another and
they all agree that a legitimate death
house sequence should be mixed As
follows:
One Cd double row Of cells.
One % villainous guard. who sneers
In through the bars and says, You're
going to get it tomorrow, wise guy, and
I'll be there laughing"
One Cd tough killer who says he
will wiring the guards neck II It's
the last thing he does
Two 90 inmates who shake the bars
and yell.
Two t2) inmates who rattle their
dishes and yell.
One Cd Negro inmate who sings
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Comm
for to Garry Me Home"
That is the standard death house
scene. known around the movie studios
as Old Faithful, or Rover, and if
Tommy Farr's manager and trainer
and advisers had any sense at all,
and listened to what the experts
are telling them, they would follow
suit, 1t was good enough for Gable,
and it's good enough for Farr.

7 ONG BRANCH. N. J.. August %.
There's a surprising lot of
of1-hand opinion around here
that Tommy Farr, the short
tempered and awkward looking Welsh
man, likely is to give Joe Louis a lot
more trouble Thursday night at YAM
kee Stadium than Joe has in mind.
Farr made a lot of friends yesterday
when he offered-even insisted-on
climbing aboard Max Baer. He want
ed TO slug Max and he would have II
they hadn't pulled him off. 1t wasn't
phoney. The Tonypandy Terror was
sore at some sighting remarks Make
had made about his punch. or lack Of
punch, and he wanted TO start some
thing right then and there.
The boys liked that. Here vas a
guy with a lot of money coming up
Thursday night, more even that he
ever imagined before in his life, and
he was willing to risk losing it for
the unalloyed pleasure of hanging one
on Baer's whiskers If his manager,
Ted Broadribb, hadn't jumped between
them, Farr would have, too.

made no move, except to lower har
head slightly. and pursed her lips. i,
Judge Charles s. Bell had previously
warned the spectators against making
any demonstration and dozens of
uniformed special guards were sta
toned about the courtroom to enforce
his order.
As Judge Bell thanked the jurors
and went through the usual routine
for adjournment, Mrs. Hahn looked
up and stared fixedly at the jurist.
Mrs. Hahn confided to deputy sher-
iffs that she hadn't slept wink
during the night.
Counseled by the prosecutor to
"show no mercy" the jury received
the case last night and an hour later
was ordered locked up. The group was

OF the Duke and Duchess Of Windsor
voiced belief today that Windsor might
visit this country during the Christ
mas holiday season..
visibly upset by the Dukes last
minute announcement Bedaux paced
the living room Of his suite at the
Plaza Hotel and said, worriedly:
'If the Duke comes we must find
some one to take care of him. I'm
afraid he won't come now, although
he might a little later-during the
holidays"
The stocky efficiency engineer, once
q humble "sandhog" who burrowed in
the muck Of under-river tunnels, said
he had not been so disturbed since he
was a youngster and invented what
he thought was a sensational new kind
of toothpaste which would make him
a millionaire.

Asked to Be Relieved,
Bsdaux cabled the Duke In Paris
yesterday and implored Windsor to
relieve him Of his role.
He advised the Duke to select an
other escort who would not be SUBJ
5ected to such attacks by American
labor organizations as have beset
Bedaux In the past week.
Today Bedaux struck back at those
attacks. He said labor critics had
him "all wrong and that his patented
"Bedaux unit system Of labor" was
not q stretch-out scheme to exc the
last iota Of production from workers
In the 400 American factories in
which it is used.
Invariably, when labor studies Be-
daux seriously and understands the

With earnest mien he explained:
Before Hitler came into power We
had a big business in Germany. Then
an argument started in the press, Just
like it is doing here.
Then Hitler came into power and
I found myself facing odds too great
Tor me. Our manager was full
blooded Jew and I had a French name.
We had to close down and send our
engineers to other countries"
Bedaux said Premier Mussolini pro-
hibited the Bedaux system In Italy by
. decree in February, 1885, after the
Federation Of Labor in Italy had at-
tackled factories employing the Bedaux
system.
In Great Britain, he added, his COM
