Have you a little White Hope in your home?
 The frantic search for the white man able to lift the heavyweight crown from Joe Louis kinky head is on in earnest. You may look for a real boom in the heavyweight market. Truck drivers and other huskies will be deserting their jobs after ambitious managers paint glowing pictures and utter honeyed words of the fame and fortune that awaits. There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for the lucky fellow.
 Right now Max Schmeling has the edge over the other candidates by virtue of the 12-round knock out victory he holds over the Bom- Der. But Max apparently is going to follow another course for he has been signed to meet Tommy Farr, the British heavyweight champion from the coal mines of South Wales, in what is to be billed as a worlds championship contest" it is claim ed.
 Bob Pastor may some day be the man to take the title from Louis. Throw Pastors footrace against Louis out. Bob gained lot of con- fidence in that 10-round fracas with Louis.
 More likely, however, is the chance that some strong youngster will pop up from an unexpected place and punch his way to the spot in the ring opposite Joe Louis. A fellow like Matte Mann, for ex- ample. Mann, the Connecticut farm boy, is fine prospect.
 For Tex Rickard the setup to- day would be perfect. Tex would reach right over to England and grab Tommy Farr and ballyhoo the international angle to the sky.
 Farr can't be such poor fight CT. Toss out his win over Madcap Max Baer if you insist, but his B round knockout over Walter Neu- sel, tough one, stamps him fine prospect. He has become quite a rage in England where vertical heavyweights are a novelty.

that as result of this conference he felt confident that the objec- tion which the Bureau of the Bud- get had made to enactment of these Alaska development bills would be withdrawn.
 For Air Fields
 The Delegate, supported by Sem ator Schwellenbach and Dr. Cru ening, urged the President to im- mediately allot from PWA funds at least one million dollars addi- tional for roads and air fields to be expended during the fiscal year 1938 But since under the pres ent law the Public Works Admin istration will expire on June 30, 1887, and the bill to extend the life of the PWA for two more years has passed the House but not the Sen- ate, nothing definite can be done about these funds at this time.
 The President referred to the re- cent allotment of $751; 900 to The Alaska Railroad, of which $350,000 will be used to construct a hotel at Mckinley Park. Reference was also made in the general discussion that followed to the special allotment of $45O,OOO from WPA funds made some weeks ago for construction of roads and air fields in the Terri tory.
