tive Sam Rayburn, majority leader
Of the house, told the President
il would pass with amendments to
which he had agreed. One Of these
would enable congress by concur
rent resolution to override any re-
organization proposition the Presi-
dent might put through. Another
would exempt the bureau of edu-
cation from the scope of the bill.
Representative John ]. O'Connor
of New York, one of the leading op-
ponents of the measure, admitted it
probably would get by with the con-
cessions offered, but said he would
vote against it even if the title alone
remained. He and practically all
other members Of the house were
flooded with kilograms and letters
urging that the bill be defeated.
Even after passage by the house,
the measure would have to go to
conference and many days or weeks
Of debate could be expected there.
Eventual enactment of the bill was
to be expected but the probability
was that it would then have lost
most of the dictatorship" features
which seem so repugnant to many
thousands of American citizens. The
popular opposition had not been less
ened at all by the Presidents ac-
ton in making public letter to an
unnamed friend in which he dis
claimed any intention to become 'a
dictator and asserted he has none
of the qualifications that would
make him successful in that role.

Dresses That Fla++er Figure

THERE'S no spring tonic in the
L world like having a pretty new
dress that makes you look slim
and smart. And these are so easy
to make, that you'll enjoy fixing
them for yourself. The patterns
are carefully planned so that even
beginners will have no trouble fol-
lowing them, and each is accom-
panied by a detailed sew chart
explaining just what to do. In
addition to having something in
dividual and very much your own,
you'll save, decidedly.
Comfortable House Dress.
It's wonderful how much more
one feels like working in a brand
new, fresh house dress that's be-
coming as well as comfortable.
This design is distinctly slenderiz-
ing because it's so straight and
simple. You can make it in few
hours. Cheerful percale print,
seersucker or chambray are nice
fabrics for this dress, which will
certainly be your favorite if you
want to look simmer than you
are.
Dress For Afternoon.
If you wear any size between 36
and 81 this dress is designed to
make you look your best. Shir-
ring on the shoulders creates the
fullness that you need in the
blouse. The long, unbroken line
from shoulder to hem takes inches
off the figure. Sleeves ending just
below the elbow are f1attering to
plump arms, and the long, softly
ripping jabot trims are lengthen-
ing in effect. Make this lovely
dress of silk crepe, small-fgured
or polka dot prints, or georgette.
Later, in wolfe, it will be your
coolest summer frock.

apparently are helpless to stop it.
Repercussions Of the under
mining influence betting is hav-
ing on boxing in the District were
forcibly revealed at the Arena
last night when a roar of protest
from the capacity crowd broke
about the ears of Referee
Denny Hughes for awarding Joey
Archibald a technical knockout
over Johnny Mirabella after 2:27
Of the ninth round.
SUCKERS SQUAWK
Mirabella had been floored twice
in that round. He was hopelessly
beaten, his legs were wobbling,
his eyes were glazed and his senses
battered numb by Archibald's
failing fists. Yet the crowd dis
approved. Why? The reason is
simple. Archibald was 5-1 favor
ite at ringtime and the heavy odds
lured hundreds to risk their
money. The "wise boys" got the
fright of their lives when Archie
was knocked down in the first
and again in the second. The
hopes of the "Short-enders." natu-
rally heightened, suffered a ter
rifle letdown when Hug h es
stopped the fight.
In the parlance of boxing, "the
suckers Squawked." What is more
amazing is the fact that a boxing
commissioner was heard to re-
mark the fight should have con-
tinued." This statement was made
within earshot of several who had
lost their money and who imme-
diately took the opinion as Off
cial cenSure of the referees action.
MANAGER APPROVES
After the bout, the same COM

JOHNNY OUTCLASSED
AS for the fight itself, Mirabella
was never in Archibald'S class.
Johnny was nothing but a punch
ing bag with ears, but he put on
one of the gamest exhibitions ever
seen in ring.
The six Hundred" Of history
had nothing on Johnny when it
came to walking into cannon fire.
Mirabella marched one way for
nine rounds, and that was forward.
His punch was gone; his body shlV-
cred: his eyes were frozen with q
gelatinous light, but he kept
marching straight into the tuSll'
lade of punches hurled by the rip
ping, slashing Archibald.

Thirty-five hundred screaming
fans-the largest turnout of the

state of Spine-shivering suspense

tied with all the pent-up ambition
that had been developing since
the violent arguments that had
taken place after the Cadets first
victory over the Lincoln Parkers
earlier in the season.
LEADS SCORING
Clint Quantrille, stellar center
of the Fasteners, led the scoring
parade with IL tallies, and in the
opinion of Aiphonse fluffy" Lee
mans, was the outstanding player
of the game, despite the fact that
Jim Giebel was presented the
award for that same factor.
"Tuffy," former G.. w. grid star,
was the official presenter Of the
awards after the evenings per-
foramnce.
The half ended in a 1915 dead
lock and that tells the story of
the whole game. 1t was a see-saw
affair all the way through, with
never more than 4 points separat-
ing the two contestants.

FARR'S 'BUTTING'
FEARED BY BAER

NEW YORK, March 8 GN.S0.
It is Manager Ancil Hoffman'S
announced purpose to appear be-
fore the New York boxing COM
mission today and file plea in
behalf of his Max Baer for a Sc
date and gentlemanly fight from
Tommy Farr on Friday night.
Hoffman said he expected to
charge that Farr butted Baer out
of the decision when they met
last May in London.
Hoffman and Baer have been
saying that and other things ever
since they returned to this coun-
try and in calling the matter to
the commiSsion's attention, they
hope to preclude recurrence of in
cidents which, they allege, left
Baer with a section of his brow
laid waste from the first round on
in their other fight.

$S9, 900 is a fair offer, a lot of
money. That's all I am going to
pay him."
The Colonel can be stubborn
about things like that. A matter
of a thousand dollars is just small
change so far as Rupert is con-
cerned. 1t is principle with him.
It will be recalled that last year
he allowed Charley Ruffing to
stay out until May over an equally
minor difference.

to $4,000, the Colonel went up to
$39, 900. At that level both sides
hit a stone wall.
"And that's final" the owner
of the world champions insisted,
revealing yesterdays meeting
with his home-run slugger. The
conference lasted more than an
hour, Previously the Colonel
had offered $4,000, and Gehrig
