Yugoslavia, hope to unite and be- come an independent state. But in the meantime, their only weapon is terrorism, and they use it vigorous ly.
 It is because of these minority troubles that Yugoslavia, more chan any other Balkan country, has a faction favoring a sort of United States of the Balkans" in which each state and racial minority might have a large measure of self-gov- ernment, yet live together as a har- moniouS whole.
 The Byzantine tradition is still strong "a sort of "unification through variation" under which each part of a Pan-Slav world retain its own national and religious pecularities.
 Yugoslavia is a rich country. It has more iron and steel than the German Ruhr. But the industrial ization and development of these great resources is largely in the hands of foreign capital. At Bor the copper and gold mines are run

 GOLFING COMEBACK

Greensboro, N. o., March 25.- (UP)-Very little has been heard about Lawson Little's tournament play since he turned professional, but today he seemed on the road back to the form that carried him to the British and United States amateur titles in 1894 and '35.

K0vACH, WEED EVEN IN BUCK
 FOUR FOUNDER
Action Filled Card Draws 1,4O0; CiarlO FlOOred
 But Gets Draw

The two topline bouts on the Wa terbury A. c. program of leather pushing last night at Buckingham hall lived up to expectations from every angle, for, more important, when the slam-banging was over, Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and Jimmy Weed of New Haven; Tom my Ciarlo of Waterbury and Red Doty of Hartford finished as even as the temper of Stepin Fetchit. Two draw decisions by Referee Louis Kid Kaplan, indicated the closeness of the milling, and both even Stephen mods seemed eminently fair after looking at, and think cbout two hard fights.
 Ciarlo had to rally strongly from a clean knockdown by Dot- in which he took "9' count, but, as he did against Bobby Ellis, got of the floor and fought his red-haired foe to a standstill for the remainder of the round. Ciarlo had lo have big third round to offset his knock down in the first, but he was equal to the occasion, and got the break" for if the decision had gone against him, he could not have com. .3lained too much if the decision had gone against him for the knockdow,' was a dandy, the result of clean, right hand smash to the Ciarlo chin, and Tommy took the full count rest rer- iod.
 Hits Galore
 Kovach and Weed was bangeroO from the go, the New Haven south- paw scoring with a long right jab. but Kovach forced the fight and hurt Weed with solid smashed to the body. The borough battler later shifted his attack to the Weed "whiskers" and made some good shots, though he took a few south- paw socks himself that only his toughness allowed him to throw of and though touched by fly.
 Bobby Williams, Springfield col- ored boy, stopped the tough Harp Tommy of Hartford in the second round, showing plenty of class, a hard, short, sharp punch and good boxinfi ability. Jackie Moriarty, lo- cal lad who won a K. O. decision Thursday in Bristol, tired badly against Tommy Bruno of Spring. field, but got by with draw. most ly because he fought on his nerve and Bruno held back until the last round, when he realized Moriarty was "all in"
 Close Enough
 Emil Etters fought the best fight of his career, doing very little 'clowning" and gaining a draw with able Billy Towne of Springfield, 8 fighter who looked much JOG good for Emil in the first round, but the Town Plot boy connected with many hard punches to get an even Stephen nod, which was generally acceptable. George Jordon of Springfield won from Frankie Mars in a fast three rounder, while Sam Craig was out pointed by shark-skinned Bobby Thomas of Shelton.
 The Collinsville team, including the opponent for Charley Baginski of Springfield, Norman Chartier just did not show up, call up, or give any indication where it was or had forgotten to come to Water bury with three boxers as sched- uled. Baginski will headline the next Waterbury A. c. show April 6. Dick Turcotte will also show on that card against worthy foe to be named later.

 Big Spurt

 The hillies outscored the Gents from the floor, 15-12, and also took honors in fouls, sinking six of IA while the Gents were successful in five of IA. Tracy and Johnny McCor- mack officiated.

Triano Completes
 First Year As Pro

Naugatuck, March 25-Joe Triano, Naugatuck's. Tony Galento, goes to Bridgeport Monday, the 27th, to give battle to Phil Alaqua, an AL bany, N. Y, fighter who has a very impressive record. Probably Ala qua's most noteworthy endeavor was his one round knockout of Freddie Pease. Pease is considered one of the best in his class in Con- necticut. Alaqua is the hard hitting type and usually ends everything in K. O.'s.
 Triano as usual is in fine physi- cal condition and promised his fol- lowers clean, hard fight. It is in- teresting to note that the Nauga- tuck fighters, all of whom train at the "Y," cannot find sparring part ners, and such is Triano's case. For the past two weeks Triano and Dula Kovach have been training with each other and although this is not entirely satisfactory because of the vast difference in the weights of these fighters, it is better than working with untrained part nerS.
 Triano is a welterweight and a very hard hitter with either hand. His one drawback is that the gashes and cuts that he has re- ceived while fightingin the amateurs have never healed properly and open up in the ordinary furry of fight. This has proved very costly for the Naugatuck youth by giving fights to his opponents under the TKO clause.
 While in New York, Triano has met some notables at the state box ing commissioners offices: Dan Parker, Fred Aposton, George Raft John Henry Lewis and Tony Can- zoneri.
 This fight completes Triano's first year of professional prize fighting
