CALEXICO, March IL. - Mexico
City'S lightweight champion, Gus
Gonzalez. was the victim of too
many left jabs Thursday night in
the main event at the CaleXico
arena, as the Border City favorite
dropped a decision to Don McMa-
hon, Long Beach battler
Gonzalez, who last week defeated
Chatter Adams, was outclassed by
the harden hitting Mcmahon from
the opening bell. His only rally came
in the fourth round and the damage
had already been done.
The Gonzalez-M -McMahon scrap
followed a card Of well matched
bouts which saw two knOckouts
and a dozen knockdowns.
Willie Simms slapped Steve AM
ado to the canvas four times to
win the opener. Red Turpe climbed
off the canvas to knockout Bud
Soughty of Long Beach, and Al
Cuin was still shaking his head
from powerful blows when he land
ed a ko. punch on Willie Burke.
Johnny Antuna walloped Eddie
Martin in a close bout and Alex
Montoya took a disputed decision
over Marty Gomez from the Long
Beach stable in the semi-Windup.
Mcmahon pasted Gonzalez con-
sistently with well directed left
jabs in the opening stanza. to open
two cuts on the MeXican's face and
blacken his eye.
After the first round it was only
a question of whether the Mexican
would last the route.

FORT FRANCE, Ontario, Oct II. The bodies of two mothers and nine young chillren, all victims of a forest fire which swept nearby townsh hip late yesterday, were brought here this morning.
 The victims are believed to be- long to the families of Noah and Bill Labelle, brothers, who settled in the sparsely populated area.
 The forest fire ragged on 50- mile front and destroyed thousands of acres of fine timber.
 Constable David Hamilton said searchers found the charred bodies of the mothers which were stretch ed over the bodies of the smallest children, apparently in vain at tempt to save them.
 The Labelle mothers were prob ably carrying their babies and ran from their homes, the other chil- dren following them
 Thick smoke must have over come them before they got far, the constable said.

PROPOSAL BY LEWIS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-John L. Lewis today offered to resign as Chairman of the CIO if William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, will also re- sign. The proposal is made, Lewis said, to pave the way for peace between the two labor organiza- tionS.
 Lewis told the newsmen the pro posal has been submitted to the delegates at Houston, Texas, now attending the annual convention of the AFI.
 Lewis said: "The present situa- ton is manifestly not a unilatcrial problem but obviously it is a bi- laterial problem. The same Sugges- tion applies to Green, whose recent ferocity seems to know no bounds. In any event it is worth trying and then make it possible for the re- maining leaders of the American Federation of Labor and Committee of Industrial Organization to con- clude a peace pact in which the contribution of Green and myself may be of some value.''

Aviation Gets
 New A|timeter
Instrument Tells Height oi All Distinctions Be-
 low and Ahead

NEW YORK, Oct. IA radio controlled altimeter, tr a n lating peaks and gullies into signals on an airplane's instrument panel, has promised a solution of one of avia- tions greatest safety problems.
 An absolute altimeter, developed by the United Airlines and Western Electric, was successfully demon strated for the first time today and shows the instrument capable of indicating the distance between the plane and any Instructions ris- ing from sea level.
 The present air pressure alti- meters only indicate the planes altitude above sea level.
 The new instrument operates on the transmission of radio micro waves from the plane to the earth. The waves from the plane to the earth rebound and the time be- tween the transmission and recep- JlOIl IS UTdilSldJcQ lllOO lCCC Oli d dial before the pilot, much as the fathometer acts for boats.
 In initial tests, the instruments sensitivity was shown by fluctua tions as the ship passed over build ings, bridges and rivers. The alti- meter is so sensitive, it's needle joggles when the plane passes over a rowboat on wide expanse of water.
 This marvellous new invention will be available to the aviation industry in general after the final tests, scheduled to be made soon.
 It will not only furnish readings of the planes height above ob- structions, and determine the na- ture of the terrain below, but will also warn of any high obstacles ahead
 The device is free from static and in effect gives the pilots a real picture of what is be- meath and how far it is beneath and also what the height of any, thing ahead is, at any angle, even at times when visibility is zero.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Tiff you stop at the headlines you'll get the impression that Adolf Hitler is only this year beginning his push to the east-that 20th century dream of all German empire build CTS.
 But if you had been checking the figures piled up by the men who keep tabs on the worlds com merce for Uncle Sam, you'd know that Hitler began four years ago to dig the foundation for economic leadership eastward.
 These experts have been talking and writing about Hitler's 'Drang Mach Osten" (march to the east for two years. Of course, they don't use that flowery figure of interna- tional speech. They simply use commercial facts.
 Here's what's been happening:

A BALKAN DEAL

German buyers began to offer higher prices to the Balkan coun- tries for their raw material and foodstuffs. Trade sprang up.
 But when it came time to collect the bills in Berlin, the Balkan states discovered they had to spend German money in Germany. Then they learned that Germany would be only too glad to sign up clearing arrangements. In economics that means: You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Well, sale with string attached was better than no sale at all, so it was a deal.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. = The Coast and Geodetic Survey has re- ceived bids for a ship for survey of the Aleutian Islands.
 Officials said the survey may open new trade routes to the Orient and will assist the defense plans for the Aleutian Islands
 The Commercial Iron Works of Portland, Oregon, and the Lake Washington Shipyards, of Tough ton, Wash, are tied for the low bid with $862,000.
 The survey ship is to be 198 feet long and of steel construction.
 Officials of the Coast and Geo. detic Survey said the only charts of the Aleutians are out-dated Rus sian maps and are not sufficiently reliable to permit of commercial vessels to travel near the Aleutians on Oriental routes.

MONKEYING WITH BUSINESS

MONKEYING WITH BUSINESS
 Therefore it was natural to cut off industrial America and France, and, more important, over-indus- trialized Czechoslovakia. w h a t point was there in trading with Czechs, when they, too, were trying to establish their own little indus trial empire, almost up against the heart of the great German indus trial system?
 How did Germany change the stream of her commerce?
 Let the Department of Commerce trade reviewer explain:
 State domination of the national economy has become more distinct. .. The economic structure follows a certain pattern, one government intervention following or forcing another, with the line of demarca- tion between politics and economics growing fainter all the time. German economy is being radically reshaped in harmony with the new political structure. Frequently imports of commodities are ob- tained at an excessive price in ex- change for subsidized exports :"
 The reviewer was writing that explanation two years ago, long before the world suspected the coming absorption of- Austria, and the action against nettlesome little Czechoslovakia. r e expert was showing how Germany was willing to lure Balkan business by offering high prices, and pay her own in- | dustries a bonus to sell machinery back within the same trading zone, to accomplish that push to the east.
