All this talk about whether,
\ when, why and where Jimmy
~ Braddock will fight Joe Louis
or Max Schmeling for the heavy
weight fistic cewn is very irking to
Billy Sandow, dapper manager of
Everett Marshall, who claims the
heavyweight wrestling title.
The fight guys" Sandow said, are
keeping the fight situation up in the
air because it'll get 'em a lot of
publicity"
Sandow, who fees from publicity
like piece OF steel jumps away from

dock would fight some one some time,
some where, but he asked what will
it mean? What will it prove?"
Offers $4,000 Bet.
" THOSE guys" Sandow said, "are a
couple of sissies when compared
to top-notch wrestlerS. I'm willing
to post $4,000 for mixed bouts be-
tween Marshall and Louis and Brad
dock, and If Marshall doesn't beat
both OF them in the same ring, inside
half hour, Louis and Braddock can
split the $4,000 and take all the
gate receipts.
Marshall has been in tip-top con-
| dition for almost six years, without
ever getting out of trim. These fight
ers can't take it that way. They have
q fight and then lay off for months,
| and 1t takes them weeks to get back
anywhere near fighting condition.

CONGRESS- WORK
STILL UNCERTAIN
House May Have to Mark
Time Until Farm Bill
Is Completed.
By j. A. OLEARY.

Uncertainty surrounds the imme-
date program of Congress for the
first week of the special session start
ing Monday, with the farm bill still
In the making in committee.
Although House Democratic Leader
Bankhead and Senate Ma jority Leader
Barley will unite in an effort to get
through as much as possible of the
Presidents proposed legislation during
the special session, all indications are
much of the program will drag over
into the regular January session.
MIR. Bankhead indicated yesterday
the House probably will have to mark
time for a few days until the farm
measure is ready, and Mr.. Barley
arrived in the city with the statement
he would have to confer with COM
mittee chairmen before considering
what the Senate should try to work on
If the agricultural control bill is not
ready next week.
One thing is definite. The Presi-
dent will send his opening message to
the Capitol instead of delivering il
in person. Senator Barley is sched-
uled to see the President today.
Decline Held Temporary.
The Senate majority leader expressed
belief the recent decline in business
conditions is temporary and, in re-
spouse to questions, indicated he does
not believe the administrators pro-
gram for the approaching session will
aggravate that situation.
Government reorganization, having
economy as one of its detectives,
should help rather than hurt the
business outlook, he observed. With
regard to wage and hour legislation
he said:
IF that bill was going to cause a
depression it would have caused it
while under consideration in the
Senate and before House committees,
and not three months after Congress
had adjourned.
Whatever depression may have oc-
CURED through fear or conditions OF
international unrest is temporary"
The Kentuckian, who is member
of the Finance Committee as well as
floor leader, was not ready to say
what his position would be on re-
vision of the undistributed profits tax,
for which a move is steadily gaining
momentum as members of Congress
return to the Capitol.
L voted for the tax but did not
foreclose myself from considering
amendments that NAV be suggested
by experience" he said, indicating
he wants to study its operation more
carefully.
If the Senate has to wait for the
House or its own committee to work
out the farm bill, efforts probably
will be made by individual Senators
to have that branch proceed first
with the anti-lynching bill or Gov
eminent reorganization, both OF
) which are out of committee and ready
on the calendar.

He said the workers had not been

terms. The agreement still would have
to be ratified by the workers, he said.
The strike, although in the plant OF
