DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Jan. ID.
U.P)-The citizens of this little city
are greatly excited these days, for
there is a report about that James
j. Braddock, the heavyweight box
ing champion of the world, accom-
panied by Joe Gould and Bill Duff
fly, will visit here for a few days
soon.
The excitement, 1 think, is ma
tural for after all it isn't every
city that gets the chance to enter
tain the man who is credited with
being able to shuck off his coat
and bloody the nose of anyone who
frets him. And then the MeSsrs.
Gould and Duffy are thrown in
for good measure. as it were, a
community really has something to
awaken deep civic STRINGS.
The party is scheduled to visit
Mr.. Jack Ginty, owner. operator
and by seniority and talent, chief
bouncer Of the Chateau Lindo. The
Chateau Lindo really was chateau
back in the boom days, and couples
paid as high as fifty a throw for
the privilege of dancing on one
another's feet inside it. But all
one has to do now to pass through
its portals is to keep the shirt
sleeves rolled down and have a few
dimes to pay for dances, which
cost just that
But I doubt if Mr.. Ginty, try as
he may, will be able to Heep James
j. Braddock and the Messrs. Gould
and Duffy to himself. The best
citizens-particularly the rich, best
citizens - will demand that Mr..
Ginty slice up his guests. SO to
speak. and allow others to cut in
on the hospitality. There is moth
ing, suppose, that sets the cor
puscles of hospitality whirling
through the slightly hardened ar
teries of our rich, best citizens than
a heavyweight champion.
Show them a man Who thanks
to battery of knuckles set level
in his hands, rope ladder of
muscles down his back, a nose that
won't yell uncle" and voice
grown slightly whiskey- -tenorish be-
cause of punches on the Adams
apple, has achieved the champion
ship, and they'll put three more
stripes on the buffers vest, dust
the cobWebs off the port, and add
three inches to the latchstring.
The only other group which
know, l being as easily carried
away" by a boxing champion as
the rich, best citizens, is the guild
Of BARRIERS. If a clock could be
held on the rich, best citizens and
the BARRIERS to determine which
went to pieces more quickly in the
presence of a champion, 1 think
dead heat would be the result.
The rich, best citizens show their
appreciation of a champion by
bringing out the best in rare foods
and wines. The barter shows his
by bringing out his rare tonicS and
lotions for his idols face and scalp.

Sickening violence that could come
from a BARRIERS assortment of
brightly-labelled bottles until one
day I accompanied Max Baer into
a barber shop. Max was champion
at the time and was a great man

however, and when Taylor put the

make its own arrangements with the
countries served-so the United States
would not become involved in present
or future reciprocal agreements"
which might bring foreign aircraft
hooking into this country. Nor has
this information been impaired in any
OF the cries which Congress has heard
in recent weeks concerning monopoly
on Americas foreign airways.
I'm the case Of the North Atlantic"
the Maritime Commission report con-
tinues, "the control by the British
government of Bermuda and New
foundland has led this American COM
pany into various arrangements with
the British Imperial Airways designed
for their mutual benefit. and finally
to the issuance of permits for the
operation Of these lines by the De-
partment OF Commerce It may
be pointed out that the importance
of the use Of Newfoundland, Bermuda
and the Azores as necessary requisites
to a transatlantic airline is con.
stantly diminishing Since these origi-
nal negotiations the new nonstop,
long-range designs now available
render landing rights such as these
largely of use in an emergency"
Bids Recently Asked
This implies that aircraft may be
had which will fly the Atlantic non-
stop with a pay load. The facts are
to the contrary despite the illustra-
tions Of drawing board" airplanes
with which the commission sprinkled
its report, the nearest tangible ap-
proach to such ship still being in
the proposal stage. Pan American
Airways recently invited bids from the
industry on craft Of this type, and
several manufacturers said they coulc
build it, though the job Is expected to
require about three years.
For reasons best known to the Mari
time Commission, its report ignored
almost completely the new Boeing
Clippers now nearing completion in
Seattle for Pan-American Airways.
and the fact that they are expected
to carry so passengers across the At
lantic and 40 across the Pacific in
scheduled service next year. This cir
cumstance and the fact that projected
flying boats of two American manu-
facturers are depicted in the report to

comment.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Aviation OBJ
servers are beginning to comment on
the striking similarity in tactics now
being employed in Washington to as
sail Pan American Airways' "monop-
oily" Of this country's foreign air
line operations and the sort of agita-
ton that preceded Postmaster General
James A. Farley's summary cancella-
ton of all domestic airmail contracts
on February 10, 1894. Pessimistic ones
are specializing over the possibility
that these activities presage another
such upheaval in American air trans
portation.
The principal difference between
those who clamored for cancellation
four years ago. on the ground that
airmail contracts had been obtained
through fraud and collusion," and
the groups now raising the cry of
monopoly" seems to be that the for
mer actually had airplanes and were
flying them. Their present disciples
apparently do not intend to get into
the flying business unless the Govern
ment first undermines Pan Americans
position.
Dealing chiefly with the Atlantic,
the battle centers over whether the
airline which has established q
world-envied record In its Latin Amer
lean and trans-Pacific operations
shall continue to be this country's sole
representative in the field of inter-
national flying. Pan American sue
cessfully invaded the Atlantic last sum-
mer on a survey fight basis, and is pre-
pairing to establish regular commercial
service to Europe next year.
Atlantic Declared "Sewed Up."
Others interested in flying this
ocean-and in getting valuable air
mail contracts which seem to be il
line for Pan-American because it is
likely to be considered the only op-
orator qualified" to bid on such a
job-have charged in congressional
hearings and elsewhere that PAN
American has "sewed up the Atlantic"

Joseph P. Tumulty, who was secre-

died at Cleveland yesterday.
"His great gift" Mr.. Tumulty said
OF Mr. Baker, was his sense of under
standing magnanimity and his pas

Bakers death and added:

The situation is complicated by the
fact that airplanes of one nation may
not enter the territory of another
without specific permission, and that
this country has adopted policy of
reciprocal landing rights in trans
Atlantic flying. Under this, an
American airliner is entitled to land
in England. France, Germany, ETC.,

did not voice a plea for the League.

greatest speech of his career came
when he defended the League of Ma

his cheeks, before the Democratic
convention in New York in 1924
He solemnly warned his party then
against repudiating Wilsonian policies.
Though his views were not always
popular, Mr.. Baker was regarded as
a leader of his party, and. since 1912,
