NEW YORK.-Joe Louis prob
ably reached his peak in
knocking out Schmeling.
And now not a few of the eX-
pertS believe that only inactivity
and lack of interest will dethrone
the champion.
Certainly, there is no one in
sight now capable Of beating him
with gloves on his hands.
Louis is still a young fellow,
but he may slip fast.
He may not even know how
much money he has sailed away,
but he has a good idea that he is
financially independent. And that
feeling has softened up a good
many titleholders. 1t is one thing
to enter the ring with a deter
mined attitude when bread and
butter is at stake and another TO
develop a killer instinct after one
already has tasted and is enjoying
the luxury Of easy living.
Louis is lazy by nature. He re-

He had that urge last trip because

And it is doubtful that ne ever

he came out OF his corner. He
probably will never harbor such
feeling for another opponent.

ton that Jimmy Roosevelt
continued TO operate in the in
surance business while serving as
secretary and chief aide to the
President has aroused intense
curiosity in Washington as to
whether this story can possibly
be true. :
No one at the White House is
willing to try to satisfy this curl
oSity.
'"That's a matter between Alva
and Jimmy" inquirers there are
told. Reference is TO Alva john
ston, whose magazine article on
Jimmy's spectacular success in the
insurance business during recent
years has attracted national at
tention.
Jimmy is in a hospital and has
alleged certain unspecified mis-
representations in the article, but
whether he means to include
among such alleged misrepresen-
tations the assertion that since his
formal resignation from the
Roosevelt & Sargent insurance
firm he "has continued to pursue
his insurance operations vigor-
ously :" can not be learned.
Here in Washington it generally
has been assumed, with no evil
dence to the contrary, that Jimmy
had stopped selling policies, al
though it is assumed also that he

policies previously sold.

poses. Mr.. Hoover moved Burke

WE|RT0N HEARING
DELAYED A MONTH
Steel Company Given Time
to Replace Attorney 0usted
by N. |. R. B:
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Labor Relations Board gave the
Weirton Steel Co. today q month to
flnd new counsel to replace Clyde A.
Armstrong, barred by the board from
defending Weirton against charges Of
unfair labor practices.
Mr.. Armstrong had been ousted
from the case for "contemptuous con-
duct" before Trial Examiner Edward
G. Smith at Steubenville, Ohio,
July IL.
The board upheld Examiner Smiths
action yesterday, contending that Mr..
Armstrong; behavior in a dispute
over testimony of steel company wit
ness reflected "a calculated attempt
to wrest control of the hearing from
the boards duly designated agent"
Mr.. Armstrong was expected to make
court appeal from the boards order
The board said it would not resume
taking testimony in the Weirton case
until August "a Ito enable respondent
(Weirton) to retain other counsel or
otherwise prepare to resume the pres
entation OF its defense" Any incon-
venience to the steel company, 1t said,
could be attributed to Mr.. Armstrong
and not to the board. The hearing
has been transferred to Pittsburgh.
First Disciplinary Action.
1t was the first time since the board
began operations in 1885 that 1t has
taken disciplinary action against de-
Tense attorney.
Summarizing the versions Of the
Steubenville dispute, which was high
lighted by the hanging OF Examiner
Smith in effigy during demonstrations
in Steubenville and Weirton, w. Va,
the board said it found that Arm
strong was guilty Of contemptuous
conduct to an aggravated degree" The
board pointed out that 1t had no power
to punish for contempt. but could
close hearings to any one guilty OF
'contemptuous conduct"
1t also noted that he refused to
apologize to Examiner Smith and
added:
There is no reason to believe that
were Armstrong permitted to resume
participation in the hearing, he would
refrain from repetition Of the acts
which we find intolerable ."
Grew Out Of Argument.
The controversy grew out OF an
argument July 7 between Mr.. Arm
strong and Isadore Polier, regional
attorney for the board. Examiner
Smith told the board he feared Mr..
Armstrong was about to assault Mr..
Polier. and he ordered both men to
sit down. Mr.. Armstrong refused, Ex-
aminer Smith declared
There was no immediate comment
from the Weirton general counsel, but
John E. Laughlin, jr, Weirton at
torney who came here from Pitts
burgh on another matter, said:
We disagree with the ruling. We
think 1t is wrong. But I don't know
what We will do about further appeal
until have talked with my asso-
ciates."

DR. Stefan Osusky, Czechoslovak Mir
lister to Paris, Immediately realized
that refusal on their part could but
jeopardize Frances military assistance
in case of need, which would prac-
tically depend upon the British cabi-

The fact that the German govern
ment had been left unaware of the

July 81 as consequence Of Franco
British exchange of views in Paris on
July 20. favorably Influenced Benes

The details of the British mediation
and the part to be fulfilled in it by
Lord Runciman have not yet been de-
termined.
The Praha government clearly per-
ceives that. in the present interna-
tional circumstances, the conclusion
to be submitted by Lord Runciman,
once he has fully investigated the
problem Of the Sudeten Germans, will
in fact prove compulsory. But on
the other hand, 1t saw clearly that
the London cabinet would be morally
bound to support Lord Runciman's
award, and it would be all the more
difficult not to assume direct respon-
sibility since it had been made known
that a rejection of the British sug-
gestion by the Czechoslovak ministry
would be officially brought to the
knowledge Of the House Of Commons
Looking back to the recent past. it
can be judged today that Benes and
Hodza missed golden opportunity
two months ago, when. Immediately
after the great political success they
had achieved on May %. they did not
boldly publish the concessions they
were ready to make to the Sudeten
Germans. In endless bargaining with
the parliamentary groups they have
wasted the strength and authority
they had won. Now they have to pay
the penalty for it.

TWO CONTRACTS
Charges Foremen Coerced
Employees to Join A. F.
of |. Union.

Two findings alleging unfair labor
practices by companies dealing with
the American Federation of Labor
were announced by the National Labor
Relations Board in the past "a hours.
In a ruling made public today, the
board nullifled a closed shop contract
between the A. F. OF L. and the Ward
Baking Co. of Baltimore on grounds
that the Federation union had not
been the freely chosen representative
OF a majority Of the employees in
volved. A new election was ordered
within 20 days.
In a decision announced late yes
terday, the board voided a poll taken
recently among employees of the Ten
nessee Copper Co, Copperhill Tenn,
on grounds that foremen of the COM
pany had coerced employees to vote for
the A. F. of L. instead of the C. l..
o. A new election was ordered within
20 days.
In the Baltimore order the board
directed that approximately 200 in
side production and maintenance en-
ployes decide whether they desire rep
resentation by the A. F. OF L., the
c. I. o. or neither.
The board also ordered the baking
company to refrain from encouraging
workers to join the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers International
Union of America. the A. F. of l..
affiliate, and to refrain otherwise
from interfering with employees rights
to self-organization"
The board noted that some of the
foremen involved in the Tennessee
"electioneering" were members OF the
A. F. of L. union, but it said:
Whether or not supervisory en-
ployes are members Of a labor organ
ization. they will, in the interest of a
free choice of representatives. be re-
quired to abstain from active par
ticipation in contest between labor
organizations"
The A. F. L. won the first balloting
