Little Matsui, Jopon's Big Gun in Ctina,
 Has Been Army's Bright Boy'' 40 Years
By RELMAN MORN
AP Feature Service Writer

TOKYO-The little man with the biggest job in China today is Gen. eral Iwane Matsui, Japan's bright boy
 He commanded the Japanese army at Shanghai, smashed China's Hindenburg Line" chased de- moralized enemy up the Yangzte River to Ranking, and then pierced the massive walls of the Chinese capital and took the city.
 This triumpnal entry was the high spot of a notable life.
 Bright From the Start
 He became the bright boy of the Japanese Army 40 years ago in the Tokyo Military Academy, His instructors were not quite sure about young Matsui. They grudgingly ad- mitted that his grades were the highest, his boots the shiniest and his solutions to strategic problems the most brilliant in the Academy. (And that against the competition of such men as Sadao Araki, who later became Minister of War, and Senjoro Hayashi, one day to be Prime Minister
 But Japans West Point" felt vague uneasiness about this stu dent who was so smart. His nimble brain juggled technical problems and performed military acrobatics with too great facility, his instruc- tors reported.
 The Japanese army likes it's men to work hard for what they get to encounter great difficulties in their preparation for future wars. Mat and never had to work hard.
 Reputation Grows
 Forty years of soldering on the Asiatic mainland have only added to Matsui's reputation.
 He was an officer in the Russo Japanese war. He came through the terrific battle of Port Arthur without scratch
 The next few years saw him move up the line, with no better than normal speed Not even brilliance, such as he is credited with having, can dislocate the machinery of pro- motion in the Japanese army. Up to a certain point, the only way to climb the ladder is by having birth days
 Matsui was a staff officer in the Japanese Expeditionary Forces dur ing the World War. Then he cam paigned at Manchuria and Mon golia.
 The years passed and he reached the Supreme War Council. was a delegate to the Geneva Arms con- ference in 1881.
 The outbreak of this current in cident" was Matsui's big moment
 China His Hobby
 For more than ten years, he had OCC1 OliC VI O1lC lCdNAlli5 lOl of Japan's China poicy. He has been the backstage director of that policy ever since the Ianaka Min istry in 1927 Japanese say he knows more about China, from a military, political and even a geo. graphical standpoint, than any living man.
 China has been his hobby for decades.
 It is one of the paradoxes of the present campaign that. Matsui has been a close friend of China's Gen. eralissimo Chiang Kai Shek for years. They met when Chiang, as a young student, entered military college in Japan That friendship has been continued through the years, the two men meeting occas-

NEW YORK, June 23.-For 1874
seconds of fighting the fight clans
gathered from the country over
last night and left the ship of
state unnamed. At that, it must
have coasted along in their ab-
sence better than Schmeling did
in their presence. Governors of
four States and members of the
Cabinet sat in the awe-Stricken
crowd.
There were Governors Murphy
of Michigan, Cross of Connecticut,
Earle of Pennsylvania, and Moore
of New Jersey. Postmaster Gen
eral Farley kept his heavyweight
championship record intact and
the Presidents Cabinet had an
other delegate in Attorney Gen
eral Cummings.
Mayor LaGuardia was due up
front, but, as far as is known, did
not see the fight. He evidently
guaged his entrance for the Sec
ond round.
There never was smoother han
ding of a fight crowd. Around
and inside the stadium Deputy
Chief Inspector Edward Bracken
had a police force consisting of
two inspectors, two deputy in
spectors, seven captains, IA lieu
tenants, and 100 patrolmen keep
ing things in order.
SAD NOTE
The hired force within the
stadium numbered so per cent
more than normal because Mike
Jacobs made his arrangements
through the unions. 1t was Mikes
private army. Heretofore the
hired hands we're responsible
directly to the ball yard.
1t was a triumph touched with
sadness for Jacobs, James Eustis,
the supervisor Of the field force,
was taken sick at his work early
in the afternoon and died few
hours later in Suydenham Hos
pttal The promoters grief
obviously was deep.
Eustis had been close to him
at the Hippodrome.

BERLIN BLAMES
MAKES DEFEAT.
ON 'MANEUVERS'

BERLIN, June % U.N.S0 .
Max Schmeling failed, not be-
cause Joe Louis is a superman,
but because time and the unwrit-
ten law that they never come
back defeated him"
That was the way the news
paper Zwoelfuhrblatt today ex-
planned the sensational defeat of
Max Schmeling in New York to
a sorrowful German sports public.
Certain American business
men," the paper continued, pre-
vented Schmeling's fight for the
title for so long that his victory
could have been achieved only
by a miracle.
Purpose of the maneuvers
against the German was to keep
the title in America.
THAT is why they did not let
Schmeling get into the ring
until the prospects we're that
SChmeling, aged two years
(since he defeated LOUIS, would
no longer represent too great a
danger"
In this connection, three sep
arate sources here placed Schme-
ling birthdate in September, 1905,
which would make him 80 years
old. These sources were his orig
inal birth certificate, issued at
Kleinluckow; his marriage license
and his biography, written in
1929.
German fans were stunned by
the lightning victory scored by
Louis over their ring idol.
Something's movie actress wife,
Amy Ondra, refused to go to a
telephone to comment on the
knockout defeat suffered by her
husband. A maid at her home,
answering a telephone call, said:
Frau Schmeling is asleep. She
did not listen to the radio broad
cast of the fight. She left orders
not to be awakened before
morning"
Even the most ardent Nazi fight
fans, after hearing the radio de-
scription of the brief bout, voiced
the realization that Schmeling's
chances of regaining the heavy
weight crown are gone.
DETROIT, June % G.N.SO.
Paradise Valley had its Superman
again today.
Joe Louis. the kid who still likes
to play Softball on valley sandlots,
the kid who grew up on busting
Hastings Street and picturesque
StriverS' Row, last night punched
his way past the only blotch on his
record, smashing Max Schmeling
to the canvas in the first round of
their heavyweight championship
fight in New York.
And for the first time since
Schmeling blasted the "superman"
halo from Louis brow two years
ago, the valley let itself go in full
celebration for it's hero.
From windows, from porches,
from motor trucks, on the streets,
on the sidewalks, Detroit'S negroes
gave neighbor Joe Louis one of the
greatest personalized accolades
ever accorded an athlete.
Everybody who owned an auto.
mobile drove through the packed
streets with one hand on the steer.
ing wheel and the other on the
horn. Those who had no cars
houted from windows and
porches, or joined the impromptu
street dance which forced police to
rope off one full block.
1t was a CHEEKY, happy celebra-
ton. so happy, in fact, that the
celebrantS had not time for dis.
orders similar to those that have
marked other race festivals. The
100 special officers detailed to the
district, Louis home town." had
a tough job regulating traffic, but
that was all.
