Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Stocks
swung upward at high speed today,
after slow profit selling dip at the
opening, and initial losses of fractions
to a point were converted into frst
advances running to or more.
The swift right-about, bringing the
sixth consecutive rallying session, came
after statement of the United States.
Steel Corp. asserting that no official
of the company had given assurances
that wage cuts would not follow yes
terdays drastic slash in prices posted
by the principal subsidiaries of the
corporation.
The buying wave that hit the list
around the start of the final hour
centered on steels, motors and other
pivotal issues, and the pace was so
fast that. for a time, the ticker tape
fell minutes behind floor dealings.
There was subsequent quiet interval
and top marks were lowered somewhat
near the close.
Bonds and commodities. hesitant
on the getaway, did better with stocks.
Grains, however, failed to make much
progress.
The belated broadening of volume
put transfers for the two hours at
around 100000 shares.
Steels and Motors Lead.
Prominent on the resumption of
the drive were United States Steel.
Bethlehem, Youngstown Sheet &
Tube. Chrysler, United States Rub
Der, Montgomery Ward. j. I. Case.
international Harvester, Deere, Doug
las Aircraft Boeing. Texas Corp,
standard Oil of New Jersey. Con-
solidated Edison. North American,

York Central and Union Pacific.
The Presidents "fireside chat" was
the subject of much discussion in
brokerage circles and while there was
some disagreement as to its ultimate
market effect, most were of the opin.

because Of the price situation, were
expected to bolster steel mill activities
soon. 1t was noted that operations next
week in this field might be rather un-
even. A drop in output was forecast
IN the Youngstown district and I'D,
turn was looked for at Pittsburgh.
Steel Scrap Higher.
Sales of steel scrap at Pittsburgh
were made at $3.50 a ton, up so cent,
from Friday. Export copper also was
given another lift as foreign demand
continued heavy.
| Commission houses reported the
majority of the investment trusts had
missed the boat" on the markets ad-
vance and that these apparently we're
awaiting substantial correctional re-
action before getting aboard. Foreign
purchases of American securities died
down considerably.
Business and industrial news was a
DIT brighter in spots, although lacking
any great stimulating qualities.
The curb market was inclined to
edge higher. Favored stocks here in

Louis, after returning to Detroit
last week, said that he would stop
Lewis.
Il know he's good boxer. but l
will keep on top OF him and not let
him do any boxing. That's the only
way to fight good boxer. the
champion said.
Lewis overlooks the fact-as
many others have-that Louis Is no
mean boxer himself. tn, champion.
while not as clever as Lewis, is no
slough at defending himself. Ca
nera, Baer, and others will attest 10
this.
In the publicity. for the Roscoe
Toles-Clarence (Red) Burman fight
at Olympia Friday night, the promo
tors OF the bout are publicising
Toles as the Neanderthal Man, and
Burman as the Seabiscuit TERROR.
The remains OF the Neanderthal
man were found In Prussia in 1856.

UNI was the most ape-llke. This
group Is supposedly the stem Of the
human race which has spread out
into the various racial nationalities.
II would have been preferable II
the publicity man had called Toles
the Grimaldi Man instead. The
Grimaldi guy is supposed to have
wandered away from the original
tribe and settled along the north
shore OF Africa.
I'm just wondering what Herr
Hitler would say II he read one OF
the posters. He would take 1t as an
attempt to faint his pure Aryan
race. and the perpetrator OF the
crime would be sent to a concen-
tration camp for the remainder Of
his life

ROSCOE READY
FOR START IN
BURMAN MATCH
Setback Will Remove
Toles As Serious
Title Contender

When Roscoe Toles enter the ring
against Red Burman Friday night.
November is, at Olympia. he will
put his future ring career on the
Block. Should Toles be defeated by
Jack Dempsey's protege, he will be
practically eliminated from serious
consideration as a possible chal-
lenger for the crown now worn by
Joe Louis.
Toles. during the past two years,
fought himself into a commanding
position In the heavyweight divi-
sion. lie cllmaxed his upsurge by
punching the Jimmy Adamick bal
loom at Olympia several weeks ago.
With a record OF victories behind
him. Toles was being groomed for
matches with some OF the better
known heavyweights. such as Max
Baer Tommy Farr, Lou Novo( and
Tony Galento.
t'~"stu b1 hFuuitM
However. while Toles' manager
was waiting for matches with some
OF the above named fighters. he ac-
cepted bout with Willie Reddish,
held in Philadelphia three weeks
ago. Well, Mr.. Reddish. not such a
kindhearted gentleman, sullied
Roscoe's record by winning the de-
cision over the Detroit heavy
weight.
SO Roscoe will be making a new
start Friday night when he faces
Burman. A win over Burman and
Toles will be In position to de-
mand n return bout with Reddish
A defeat. and--well. a defeat will
put Roscoe in bad position.
or course Mr. Burman will have
something TO say about what the
outcome will be. The husky redhead
has been showing good form in his
workouts in the gymnasium and
should prove tough customer for
Roscoe.
Burman Is an infighter who likes
10 get in close and hammer away
at his opponents stomach. When
his adversary Is weakened from

tack to the head with the hope OF
landing a knockout punch.

Writing about subject that has
so many angles of approach as foot
ball in Negro colleges offers large
field for congratulations, but 1t is
hope that | will confine myself to
facts and facts alone. II is not the
purpose OF this article to criticize
nor TO condone athletics in Negro
schools; but rather to point out the
facts as they are in our schools.
Every once In a while l meet
with the question: How does Me-
gro college football compare with
white college football?' In this ar
ticle / shall attempt to answer the
question in the following manner:
on Par with Whites
In my opinion. Negro college foot
ball Is on a par with white college
football. generally speaking II you
would stop TO see the best Negro
teams play. as you often times
do when you see the white teams
play, then you, perhaps, would
agree wit. the writer. For instance.
think that Morgan college would
give any college OF its class tough
battle white or black. But we have
no college that is in the class OF
any big Ten" team, yet think that
Iowa. Chicago and few more
would be certain to loose II they
played Morgan.
Then again we must consider that

on so many occasions during their
two years of married life that she
was forced to go to a hospital twice
to be treated for nervous break

torney, Jerry Giesler.
She was smartiy dressed in a
tailored tweed suit of slate blue
She wore a Dubonnet jacket and
a Dubonnet tyrolean hat and SAN
dalS to match.
''Did your husband refuse to take
you out to public places and social
affairs and when you asked him to
do so, he would rave and argue
with you far into the night and
sometimes all night?" Giesler asked
Yes" the actress said. That
happened all during the two years
of our married life"
How many times were you in
the hospital as a result of the ar
guments?'

The ship has been badly shaken
