international News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Jan. 18 G.N.S0.
Having come perilously close to
scoring a victory over Champion
Joe Louis, a puncher, by boxing,
Tommy Farr is going to try to
whip Jim Braddock, boxer, by
punching on Friday night, accord
ing to the routine he is following
in his Summit (N.J0 training
camp.
The Welsh battler today reit-
Grated he did not know exactly
how he would fight Braddock,
everything depending upon how
Braddock fought, but he has
been concentrating on blasting
with a seriousness and determine
ton indicating that he will walk
out against the former champion
blazing away with both guns
right from the beginning.
SEES $4,000 GATE
All in all, it adds up into a
good fight, and Promoter Mike
Jacobs predicted "conservatively"
o gate of $4,000 to see what
probably will be the first of two
bouts that will lead Farr back
into a title challenge next Sep
tember. At any rate, the odds
are 8 to 5 and lengthening on him
to win, and possibly knock out
Braddock and go on from there
through Max Baer, who happens
to be another ex-champion. Baer
also happens to be a fighter al
ready soundly trounced once by
Farr.
The Welsh heavyweight is using
up his sparring partners as fast as
they are herded into camp, be-
laboring them with a vicious at
tack that has floored most of them
and carried on unrelentleSsly until
yesterday. He let up at the Sug-
gestion of DR.. william G. Walker,
boxing commission physician, who
visited Farr'S camp accompanied
by Commission Chairman John j.
Phelan.
FINDS HIM TOO" FINE
DR.. Walker found Farr getting
too "fine" physically, and advised
the British empire title-holder to
taper off from here on out.
Only % years old, a fast boxer,
fairish hitter and superb absorber
Of punishment, Farr figures to be
. 2-to-1 favorite at the ringside
over the ageing and none-too-agile
Braddock.

CAT BURGLAR
RAIDS z HOMES

Third precinct detectives were
working today on the theory that
a "cat burglar" accounted last
night for two housebreakings in
the 1900 block of Connecticut Ave.
N. w., which netted him 1865 in
jewelry and clothing.
Gibson Crockett, who lives at
1885 Connecticut Ave. N. w., re
ported his quarters entered by
someone who broke the glass in a
rear window and escaped with
$170 worth of clothing.
The second victim was Rose j.
McHugh, who lives across the
street at 1886. The latter told
police her apartment on the Sec
ond floor was looted of nearly
5000 worth of jewelry by a thief
who jimmied a door
Two other housebreakings were
reported by John R. Harris, of
4403 Fourteenth st. N. W., and
Robert Twomey, of 1914 Seven
tenth st. S. E. Harris said his
home was ransacked and clothing,
a radio and luggage of undeter-
mined value taken. TWomey said

RAEDY CLEARS.
PATH TO TEST.
BUSINESS TAX.
Appellate Court to
Get Plea

Last barriers to appellate court
adjudication of the validity of the
District business privilege tax was
removed today when Municipal
Court Judge Ellen Raedy refused
to sustain the claim of local
merchant that he was entitled to
a refund of $225.92 which he had
paid to the District on his 1887
business.
NEW TRIAL ASKED
Attorneys Alvin L. Newmyer
and David G. Bress, representing
Neild and Sauerhoff, commission
merchants of 1903 Water st. S. W.,
will Immediately file motion for
a new trial, they said today. If
the motion is denied, and they
expect that it will be, they will
then apply to the Court Of Ap-
pealS for a writ of error.
A former suit, an Injunction
peGlClOn, was neafd before a three
judge tribunal and dismissed on
grounds that jurisdiction was lack
ing. Counsel were advised to have
their clients pay the controversial
tax under protest and then insti-
tute suit for recovery on grounds
that it was unconStitutionally
levied.
Judge Raedy'S action today ter
minated such a suit and for the
first time the road to an appellate
court hearing Of the specific ques-
ton is open.
BUSINESS INTERSTATE
Neild end Sauerhoff are men,
bers of the District Of Columbia
League of Wholesale Fruit and
Vegetable Dealers and base their
objection to the tax on grounds
that it places a burden on inter
state commerce. Their business
is almost entirely in interstate
commerce, the plaintiff says.

MOTHER SUES

Parental differences over the

Bradley j. Tippett, a st. Eliza
hethS Hospital employee, two of
whose sons were recently SEN
fenced to long prison terms for
robbery, it was revealed today in
United States District Court.
Suing for divorce and $75 a
month in alimony, Mrs. Tippett
said she left her husband in
October, 1887, after he had been
cruel to her for long time. On
several occasions he struck and
beat her, she said, and once threat
ened her with a shotgun, but her
sons protected her.
Tippett denied her charges and
listed many grievances of his own.
He said she never permitted him
to correct or have any control over
their children; that, if he tried to
do so, she would advise them not
to pay any attention to him, using
violent language in so doing"
y The TppettS have four sons,
Wilmer, "a; Wade, %: Ellis, 20,
and Ellsworth, IT. The latter two
were recently sentenced to serve
more than 20 years in prison for
a series of Washington holdups.

filed by Attorneys Alvin L. New

Now, however, think the signs are beginning
to point in the other direction that startling
headline about Roosevelt wanting to help the
utilities being one symptom.
"GIan1our of New Deal Gone"
ITO BEGIN with, the glamour of the New Deal
has departed with the collapse of it's social
planning in the great Roosevelt depression of
1937-38. Where is the leader the great majority
of us-the law-andorder people-would accept as
an emergency dictator? (Can you imagine
Garner accepting a dictatorship even if it were
offered to him?)
But there are more tangible signs.
l. The resistance to pump printing is great and
growing. AS yet, it is largely passive. It appears
as a mere lack of enthusiasm but that is almost
enough to damn it; and there are plenty of signs
that the great majority of sensible middle class
people in this country could easily be fired to
battle strongly against such wasteful folly.
2 Congress is getting set to resist the vote
buying or purchasing features Of the spending
scheme. They can succeed. If they should do so,
the New Dealers would lose interest.

labor activities is growing. The CLIO leaders find
their duespaying membership dropping off SO
fast they have desperately sought to force their
socalled members to pay.

Dangers of Wrong Thinking

Dangers of Wrong Thinking
NOW there's one thing the scientists cannot
AZ do much about and that is a sickness Of the
mind and wrong thinking. Let us beware that we
don't allow either Of these to creep up on us.
Scientists can do nothing with damaged brain
or perverted soul except to give it care and
protection. So let's all try to keep normal, keep
our feet on the ground, realize there are always
two sides to every subject and. by doing this,
we will be helping our scientists instead Of fall
ing into the trap set by the dictators Of Europe,
which is war; horror and, in the end, the wiping
out of civilization.

full of stars"-and this is just what God is so
anxious to do, if we will only obey His laws and
