Plea for the Jews
Writer Proposes Col. Lindbergh as Member of
Nansen League Commission.

number Of Foreign Affairs, the Man.
sen ONCE Of the League Of Nations is
to be dissolved. It Is to cease work by
December 81 Of this year. It has been
the only world organization which has
treated the business Of mass migra-
tions as an international political
problem rather than Is q philan-
thropic and humanitarian problem.
Actually between 1921 and 1928,
under the leadership Of the great and
noble Norwegian explorer, more than
100000 refugees, Russians. Arme-
mans. Greeks and Bulgarians, found
new homes The death Of the great
Nansen in 1880 was Q catastrophe for
the most unfortunate and most un-
Justly treated people on earth. The
little country, Norway, from which he
came has continued its interest in the
ONCE which he headed, and his sue.
cessor is Judge Hanson, another emf
nent and efacient Norwegian. but its
funds are running out and unless
something Is done it will 60 out Of
existence at a time when its work was
never more necessary.
Must BE Maintained.
This column Is an appeal addressed
nrst to American Jews and secondly
to all American Christians, not to
permit this catastrophe to happen.
The Nansen once must be MAIN
tained. and the United States, which
IL vitally interested in the problem
Of mass emigration. ought to offer to
attach . member to the commission.
I wish very much that the member
might be young man Of international
sympathies. Of humanitarian instincts
and Of organizing abilities, who Is
internationally known, internationally
beloved and who has suffered himself:
Charles Augustus Lindbergh. He would
have an opportunity to do great work.
But above all the American Jews
who, through their philanthropic Or
ganizations, particularly the Joint
Distribution Committee. have borne
an enormous financial burden and
will have to continue to bear one,
ought to coalesce their efforts with
such an international political body.
For the problem is not philanthropic,
1t is political.

Max Schmeling's fists. the only pair
that ever rocked Heavyweight Cham
pion Joe Louis to sleep. are expected
bounce off Steve Dudas' chin to
equally good effect tonight when the
German title contender and the Edge
water, N. j.. trial horse clash in a Is
round bout.
For Schmeling this is the last in a
series of practice sprints before he
tangles with Louis for the champion
ship in the United States on June %
For Dudas it is a chance to make a
handsome piece of change-a crowd of
10000 is eXpected-plus the remote,
but ever-present possibility of an up
set.
Only Manager FavOrs Steve.
The only expert who has gone to bat
for Dudas' chances against Schmel-
ing is Prof. Billy NkCarney, Steve's
manager. The professors principal
offering is that Steve has an eight
year age advantage. But since Louis
had even more of a margin over the
Black Uhlan, and still Schmeling
stopped him in II rounds, it hardly is a
point to impress the skeptics.
Schmeling. who rarely lets himself
get out of shape and has done his
training for this bout with his Gus
tomary thoroughness, weighed in at
1914 2 to the Americans 1875 last night.
The preliminary ceremonies were
staged at local hotel, and drew a

Max After Knockout.
Schmellng was not too impressive
his last time out, when he won nine
rounds of l2-round scrap with Ben
Foord of South Africa. With that in
mind, and despite the Schmeling
camps feeling that Dudas will be
tougher than Foord was, the German
is likely to try hard for knockout.
The thumb he injured against Foord
has healed completely, and the pre-
battle statement from Max Machon.
Schmelings faithful trainer, included
a prediction that Schmeling would win
on a k. o.
Foord also is on tonight's card. He
is matched for II rounds or less with
Walter Neusel. No 2 in German heavy
weight ranks and the general favorite.
The main event will go on at approxi-
mately 10 pm. a pm, E. S. T) and
will be broadcast to the United States.

INDIANAPOLIS RACE

New Fuel, Qualification

BY the associated Press.

bS tit hSSLCldteQ HEeSS.
INDIANAPOLIS, April l6-More
thrills for the spectators and harder
driving for the goggled knights of the
roaring road-these will be two results
of new rules governing the 500-mile
Indianapolis Speedway race Memorial
Day, SAYS Harry tCotton) Henning,
veteran builder of racing automobiles.
But, more important in Henning's S
opinion the new ruleS-Which remove
all fuel restrictions-"will mean every
thing to the men behind the scenes Of
the speed classic
They'll stimulate the building Of
new cars and invite European compe-
tition,' he said today. New ad-
vances will be made in automobile
building. The entire industry should
benefit"
Must Better 110Mile Speed.
The new rules provide for unlimited
use OF any kind of fuel, one or two
man cars, superchargers. lighter cars
and smaller motors. A car must quail
ify at better than 110 miles an hour
to be eligible for the big grind Last
year the minimum was lO5.
Fuel restrictions during the last few
years had us all about daffy," said
Henning, who built the winning speed
sters for Pete De Paolo In 1925 and
Wild Bill" Cummings in 1884. This
year he has entered three cars.
Last year use Of only commercial
gasoline. available at any filling sta
ton, was permitted. There was no
limit on quantity, as in 1896 when
each driver was allowed only 37l2
gallons. Any fuel. in any quantity,
may be used this year.
Highest Fuel Preferred.
Few cars will stick to commercial
gasoline" Henning explained. We're
after high speed. Most American cars
will burn benzol mixed with regular
gasoline. The foreign cars will burn
alcohol. Fuel tanks will be somewhat
larger than the l5-gallon allowance
specified last year. With the smaller
engines this special fuel will permit
an increase in compression and boost
the horsepower"
Henning said there would be 'front.'
drive, rear-drive and four -wheel-drive
and four. six and eight cylinder cars
in this years race. Most of them, he
said, would develop more than 200
horsepower.
Last year Jimmy Snyder. the Chicago
milkman, set lap record of 100 miles
an hour with motor Of 337-cubic inch
displacement. Under the new rules
the limit on car with a blower" or

and that on cars without super

events Of the day in which District
college athletes were interested.
At 2 o'clock the Old Line thinclads

The third Maryland team scheduled
for action was at Charlottesville, where

Terps Likely Double Winners.
There was a good chance that Mary

meet and lacrosse game at College Park
this afternoon. Penn States stick
men were considered the last warm
up game before the Terps run into a
mess OF trouble in the form Of St.
