 State of Collapse
 When Diana was found she was in a state of complete mental col lapse and obviously suffering loss of memory" her stepfather, Leonard Hacking, said today. "She became more coherent when we got her to bed. We questioned her but her mind was complete blank regarding the last eight days since she disap- peared. She was mentally back in last week, talking about engage ments in her social program which she was going to fulfill-last week. Maybe the fall she had from horse caused the loss ot memory, She was only IA then. She sustained a slight concussion and doctors say that if sine were to strike her head again there might be recurrence of the trouble. We shall know better when we have a specialists report. We are calling a specialist as soon as possible"

Sport Stunts
.Da, RkR'.

Max Schmeling wasn't worried Not, much, anyway.
 He was just pacing the floor for exercise. He was sure Braddock wouldn't run out on a certain rem dezvous. set for early in the sum- mertime.
 Of course, Max did look some what nervous. Clearly, he was fidgety. But worry about his ap- pointment with Braddock? Ger tainly not.
 His brow, it is true, was wrinkled. The Schmeling frown was deep, But he was positive Braddock would be on hand June 3. He simply em- anated assurance when he ex- claimed
 They can't get away with this Braddock must fight me in June! He signed the contract, no? They cannot break the contract. The courts will make them obey the laws"
 Unworried-But Puzzled
 It was easy to see that Max was undisturbed. There were just a few questions he would like to ask, however,
 1 What is the reason they are doing this to me? I earned the championship fight when I knocked out Joe Louis. Now I find that Louis has taken my place against Braddock. Why? Why do they do this to me?
 "Braddock is the champion. It is his fault that he does not draw. So he has to pick Louis to draw a crowd, eh? Why does he think I will not draw?" i It was explained to Schmeling that threatened anti-nazi boycott or any fight in which he were to participate would kill all chances of heavy take.
 Schmeling was ready for that. He was as confident as ever.
 American people are too good sportsmen to do anything like that. This is sport, not politics"
 It Becomes a Duet
 Schmeling's calm assurance was reflected by his stooge and man. ager, Joe Jacobs:--
 They can't get away with this thing. tJoe always is very final when inserting his two-cents' worth) We'll take this thing to the Federal courts. Why, if they got away with it in this instance not one contract in the country would be worth the scrap of paper it was written on"
 Jacobs was raving on about in functions. subpoenas, etc, when Schmeling, still perfectly confident, interrupted:-
 Where did they get the idea that I would take the title back to Ger many and never defend it after I beat Braddock? That is so silly. Why I would not be considered champion c if did not defend against the best man available" Max was reminded that Braddock was still regarded as champion although he had not defended the crown since he won it nearly two years ago.
 Schmeling did not waver.
 Champion! Bah!" he hissed.
 Obviously. Schmeling hasn't a care in the world.
