JACOBS PREVENTS
SALT|NG Of TITLE
German to Get Run Around
Again Unless He Posts
$4,000 Guarantee.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

CHICAGO, April 11.-Don't be sur
prised to hear some day, real soon,
that Max Baer and not Max Schmel-
ing will be Joe Louis opponent in
Uncle Mike Jacobs summer heavy
weight extravaganza.
1t is reliably told that Jacobs de-
mands Schmeling post $50,000 guar
antee in an American bank, to give
Louis a return match in the United
States, in the event he again knocks
the Bomber into darkness. If Schmel-
ing refuses. then he again may get the
well-knoWn run around.
That may not meet with the high
est ideals of sportsmanship, but it's
good business for Jacobs and the
usual procedure, Even so long a shot
as Harry Thomas was obliged to
promise Louis return bout within
80 days, on the lOOO-to-1 chance he
might topple the champion.
Must Have Fight Year.
There is even more reason for
Jacobs making the demand of Schmel-
ing. Should Max by any chance beat
Louis, he could retreat to Germany
with the championship and refuse to
come out. In that event. Jacobs busi-
ness would hit recession, for it is
essential that he stage a champion
ship match at least once year.
From Europe one hears there is
doubt that Schmeling will come across
to meet Louis this summer, unless he
is convinced he has fair chance to
beat the champion. The German did
not look too good against Harry
Thomas. Arthur Donovans score card
gave Thomas six rounds up to the
time the bout was stopped, and, only
for a damaged lip, which drained
blood into his stomach, the Mime
sotan might have won. If a fighter
of Thomas limited caliber can lead
Schmeling the German must hav.
gone far back or else he was very
rusty from lack of competition.
Dudas Bout Informative.
Schmeling's form better can be es-
timated after his fight with Steve
Dudas in Hamburg next Sunday
Dudas is not top-notch fighter, bu
If he makes Schmeling look bad, even
though the German wins, Max NAV
hesitate offering himself to Louis
punches. Schmeling has plenty oi
money and is well along in fighting
years, so there would be little incen.
tive for him to fight Louis unless he
we're certain of the chance to win
The German is smart, cagy fellow
and not easily swayed, once he makes
decision.
1t would be strange twist of fistie
rate were Max Baer to get anothe,
big shot at Louis. When Joe butchered
the Livermore butcher, it was believed
Baer was finished That belief was
increased when Max lost to Tommy
Farr in London. But off his recer'
victory over the Englishman, Jaco1
and other ring judges believe Bae,

General housekeeping
In Commission Needed

Again, even this condition could be
corrected and something of work
able nature developed if the bulk Of
the subordinates around the COM
mission were sound thinkers. That,
unfortunately, however, seems not
to be the case. The place is packed
and damned with numerous men
who think they are hot shots, whose
only claim to recognition is that they,
themselves, claim to be experts, or
who have been unable to make good
in the industry and have succeeded
through political endorsement to get
a place at the feed trough of gov
eminent checks.
So I say that I am unwilling to
charge continuation of the mess to
Mr.. McNinch. He apparently has
tried, but as long as some members
of the commission manage to gain
public attention by their nauseating
blurbs and as long as some of the
silly flock, claiming to be Original
New Dealers" continue to spew out
venom about ''unfairness of news
papers," it is likely the communica-
tons commission is going to get no
where very fast.
Much of the silly propaganda, that
newspapers are unfair to the New
Deal, bubbles to the surface from
points other than the communica-
tons commission. Those who serve
as the mouthpieces for such clab-
Der, however, can be seen flocking
together frequently. 1t is only nat
ural, therefore, to suppose that they
are active in spreading their views
among commission underlings who,
in turn, get the germs incubated
within their own organization.
said earlier that it may be Mr..
Roosevelt will have to ask for a gen.
eral housekeeping and resignation
of most of those in key positions. It
is quite likely that he will dodge
that action if any other way can be
found to solve the problem. In any
event, hope that congress looks
into the situation. If it does, may
be something concrete will be done
to establish a sound agency-one
that will consider the interests of
listeners and services and manufac-
turers equally, just as the Interstate
Commerce commission does in its
supervision of rail and other forms
of transportation.

International

At best, Germany, Italy and ia
pan are unnatural bedfellows with
nothing in common except totalitari-
anism and grudge against the
world. Flushed by her imperialistic
victory at Munich, there is every
reason to think Germany might
abandon italian and Japanese alli-
ances If they stood in the way Of
her march to world power. Already
Gen. Franz Ritter Won Epp has point
ed out that Germany demands re-
turn of every pre-war colony without
exception.
First step in this direction has
been taken by Reichsfuehrer Adolf
Hitler in presenting African colonial
demands to Great Britain and
France. What Hitler wants-and
probably will GETS return of Togo
land, Cameroons, Southwest Africa
and Tanganyika, held under League
of Nations mandate by Britain and
France since the Versailles treaty.
If they pay this price for peace,
Britain and France will also agree
to German arms equality. British
French gain through such a transac-
ton would be German friendship
and an understanding that Italy had
better confine her imperialism to the
Mediterranean area on pain of COM
bined German-Franco-British oppo-
sition. Moreover, II Duce would be
forced to withdraw from Spain.
Next Der Fuehrer may turn his
eyes to japan, which now controls
one-time German islands forfeited
after the World war. Since Hitler's
aggressive imperialism makes one
conquest merely an appetizer for
the next, moreover since self-pity-
ing Germany looks angrily at any
nation which controls large terrific
ries and resources, Japan may find
her Chinese conquest threatened.
Nor do observers overlook the
chance of a German-Italian breach

General housekeeping in Federal
Communications Board Is Needed
History of Control of Radio Is Story of Troubled Days;
Public Is Concerned Because Free Speech Is Invoved
Split on Board Adds to General Confusion.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington D. C.

WASHINGTON.-It seems among
the inevitable and unavoidable
things that there must be growing
pains when the government starts
execution of any new policy. This
always has been the case. I as
sumo it is going to be true always,
and it does not matter whether that
new policy involves something as
inherently governmental as govern
ment supervision of public serv-
ices or something as inherently po-
itical as the national emergency
council. The latter institution ought
to have as a part of its title some
words designating it's value as the
bod carrier in political emergencies,
such as the recent purge" of DEM
ocrats who insisted on being Demo-
Gratis as distinguished from New
Dealers.
With that preface, we can exam
inc into the situation that exists in
the federal communications COM
mission. AS laymen whose only con-
tact with radio is on the listening
end, or whose only contact with
telephones is to use them for bust
ness and social intercourse, or
whose only contact with the tele-
graph is to send or receive mes
sages, well, obviously we laymen
do not know much about the F. c. c.
But that does not excuse any Of us
for lack of interest. For F. c. G.
is just as close to you and me as the
interstate commerce commission IS,
and unless I miss my guess it will
be even closer in the years to come.
There has been a measure of con-
troll over radio for years, and they
have been troublesome years, both
for the agency administering the
law and the industry forced to abide
by the law. Within the last few
years, however, there has come into
existence the F. G. c. which is con-
cerned not alone with radio, but
with telephones and telegraphs.
These latter industries, however,
are themselves settled down and out
of their teens. They have got by
the growing pains, but as for radio,
the story is quite different and de-
cidedly more important, because
there are fundamental dangers to
you and me in the situation.

Too Much Interested in
Fighting Among Themselves

From all of the stories I have
picked up, suspect that Mr.. Gary
was no great shakes as lawyer.
On the other hand, it was equally
apparent that Mr.. Gary was being
supported by couple of commits
sioners who had hard noses and
wouldn't quit fighting. 1t is an Incl
dent that is related as an illustra-
ton and as a basis for the state
ment that most of the members of
the commission and a substantial
portion of the subordinate personnel
are much more interested in fighting
among themselves than in trying to
understand and administer an intri-
cate law.
This column is not the place to
attempt list of the many rulings
of the commission that have done
the industry no good. Attention can
be called, however, to the procedure
under which these decisions are
brought about, having in mind that
such decisions have just as much
force as the law itself.
1t is the regular routine in a gov
ernmental agency for consideration
of problems, determination of poll
cy, Interpretation of law, to have
their initiative in suggestions from
the top individuals. They are named
as the policy-makers. They have
to assume responsibility. In the case
of the communications commission,
there seems to be something of the
same procedure followed, except
that the individual members of the
board, or some of them, persist in
acting individually rather than col
lectively as board.
This would not be so bad if the
board members as whole were in
accord. But they are not There is
split as wide as Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. The result is that on many,
many occasions underlings have
brought forward propositions that
served only to fan the flames of dis
agreement between board members.
And, of course, as these proposals
became known the portion of the ra-
dio industry concerned was thor
oughly upset because it had no way
to defend itself-no place to tell its
side of the case.
