Tony's future is a bit cloudy just

He Is matched with John Henry Lewis,

Galento and Joe Jacobs therefore are
out Of favor with the big fellow at the

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The last
time I saw Tony Galento before he
caught pneumonia, the scholarly fel-

what bum, what a bum! Some day
I will catch up with Louis and beat his
brains out and then the honor Of the

No doubt Anthony picked up this
line about avenging honor-those were
his words-from his manager, Mr..
Yussel the Muscle Jacobs, who talks
like an animated sports column with
q hangover. Mr.. Jacobs often dictates
his own interviews. beginning with

Joe Jacobs took foim stand yester-
day as follows" Anthony Galento is
acquiring somewhat the same style.

The curtain falls now to denote .

Duce Racialisn
Move Believed Effort to
Influence Choice of
Anew Pope.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

PARIS.-It Is beginning to be realized
that the adoption by the italian Fascist
government of the Hitlerian racial doctrine
was serious mistake. History may some
day reveal exactly what influences caused
Mussolini to take that step. Despite his
reputation Of the suggestion, it is gener-
ally believed in Rome that he acted under
planned why Hitler was so eager to launch
the Italians upon a campaign OF anti
Semitism at this time.
Information that I have obtained from
private sources in Rome provides a plaus-
ible answer to this question. My informant
points out that Pope Plus XII is 81 years
old. and for two years has been in failing
health. 1t is quite normal to expect there
fore, that in the not far distant future the
College of Cardinals will be called in con-
clave to elect new Pope 1t is suggested
that Hitler believes it would be advantage
Gus to the Rome Berlin axis to have this
conclave sit in an atmosphere of tension
in the midst Of violent doctrinal quarrel
uCG"Ccu Vic SdtlCdIl ala LIlc 4LdlldU gov.
ernment.
The majority Of the cardinals are Italian,
and this preponderance Is particularly
marked when a conclave is called to elect
a Pope, since the overseas cardinals-four
Americans, a Canadian and q Brazilian
are rarely able to arrive in Rome before
the election is over. The Italian govern
ment has various means Of bringing pres
sure to bear on italian prelates and the
calculation of Hitler appears to be that, if
Mussolini and the Vatican are at war, such
pressure will be exercised to insure the
election of a Pope who will be less uncom-
promising in his attitude toward totali-
tarianism than Plus XII has been.
Nevertheless, even if this should prove
I'd be the correct explanation of the new
Italian policy toward the church, 1t has
done the Fascist government much harm.
The outspokenness of the Pope has been
an immense encouragement to the enemies
of the Mussolini regime in Italy. 1t is felt,
too, in informed Italian quarters, that the
Pope would not have spoken 50 boldly un-
less his private sources Of information
showed the Fascist power to be weakening.
The church has excellent and accurate
means of ascertaining the true state Of
feeling throughout Italy.

Within easy reach he has mimeographed

interfere with the free and unhampered
exercise of the vote.
Compilation Of Rules.
One Of the sections quoted declares that
no employe or officer of the United States
shall discharge. or promote. or degrade.
or in any manner change the official rank
or compensation Of any officer or employe.
or promise or threaten to do so, for giving
or withholding or neglecting to make any
contribution of money or other valuable
thing for any political purpose"
On the Senator's desk also lie advance
copies Of document prepared by the
Government Printing Office for the COM
mittee. It contains . compilation Of the
rules and regulations Of the old F. E. r. A.

The committees agents are familiar with
both Of these exhibits and Senator Shep-
pard stated frankly that any infringement
Of the criminal code detected would be
promptly referred to the Department Of
Justice. Presumably Mr.. Hopkins will be
called on to demand the penalty of dis
charge for W. P. A. members who violate
any OF his regulations.

Mr.. Deweys astonishing record of con-

be moved down by gang bullets in an Al

Mr.. Dewey had his hooks on Schultz, too,
