TURC0TTE AGAIN SCORES A KAYO;. CIARL0 Q IN DRAW
Springfield Sub Gives Local Boy Great Fight;
 KOvach Beaten

Dick Turcotte had his troubles winning from Dave Haynes, Stam- ford negro, whom he finally knocked out in the fourth round; Tommy Ciarlo was held to a draw which might have been given in favor of Springfield Jerry Mahoney, 8 sub- stitute for Ciarlo's scheduled op- ponent and Dula Kovach of Nau- gatuck was easily beaten by Art McAlpine, a solid Springfield negro who gave the boy from the borough quite a going over in a four-round professional bout which pleased most of the 1,427 patrons who paid their way in to see fine card of fights last night at Buckingham Hall, sponsored by the Waterbury A. c.
 All this and more happened at the "Buck" battles, for instance Bobby Ellis of New Britain scored a knockdown again with George Jordan as he did two weeks ago, but the bout ended even stephen, so strong was Jordan's comeback and aggresSiveness in the last round. Joe Brosseau, with modest Mike Genaro in his corner, looked great in winning from the rough, tough, experienced Chick Harris of New Britain. Brosseau, who usually does a lot of holding, decided to keep punching, and had Harris holding as Brosseau never lost an early ad- vantage. The local boy can fight and hit hard when the mood seizes him, which is about once a month.
 Sub Makes Good
 Mahoney, red-head, who fought in place of Billy Towne, gave Ciar- 10 one whale of an argument, win- ming the second round automatic ally, when Ciarlo unintentional1y fouled him as he came in to swap leather. Mahoney came out strong in the third and seemed to have a little edge, as Ciarlo missed fre- quently and was continually off balance, but the decision was fair under the circumstances, and public favor was with the red-head who, announcer Jack Freney said, "re- fused to take the fight on foul". AS a matter of fact, Connecticut boxing rules forbid fighter to win on foul, and if Mahoney did not 10 would automatically get the de- come out for the third round, Ciar- cision.
 McAlpine, a moustached brown skin was much too smart and hit much more often than Kovach, though the Naugatuck boy never stopped trying to get over his Sun day" punch.
 An attempt is being made to re- match Ciarlo and Mahoney for the next show, two weeks form last night.
 Other Results
 Lou Leonard, 147, Bristol, 8 prom ising youngster, had little trouble scoring 8 technical knockout over Al Barnes, 150, Rockville, in the second round. Barnes didn't like the going when it got tough.
 Billy Butkus, 162, Naugatuck, had Jack Paon, 16o, Waterbury, out on his feet at the finish of their meet ing. a free swinging encounter, and Butkus easily won the erdict.
 In the opening contests, Paulie Rosa, IA, Stamford, and Frank Viola, Al, Waterbury, drew; and Kid Woose, 130, Stamford, deci- stoned Charlie Roberts, 128, Hart ford.

Compulsory Immuni-

ate; Finance Commit
tee Hunts $4,000 900
More in Revenue for
State

Raleigh, Feb. 24.-(AP)-The
House Finance Committee this aft
ernoon unanimously gave an unfav-
orable report, which usually means
death, to the WithroW bill to pro-
vide statewide referendum on pro-
hibition.
The Hor><e group met early, be-
fore a joint finance session, and act
ed quickly.
The bill would have held a state
wide vote May 6, and if voters ex-
press favor for prohibition, sales of
beer, wine and whisky would have
been banned after July /.
Meanwhile, the Senate passed and
sent to the House the Long bill to re-
qulre immunization against diph-
iberia of all children except those
of religious DIRECTORS.
The measure passed on voice
Two years ago a similar proposal
got Senate approval and was killed
IN the House. There has been no
indication what its reception will be
IN the lower division this session.
Senators adjourned to meet early
tomorrow morning, at $3.50 o'clock,
then take buses to Washington for
weekend trip as guests of the
city. The House will hold "local
bills" session tomorrow. Both di-
visions will resume regular business
Monday night.
The joint subcommittee on fl
nance worked hard trying to get
revenue proposals in line which the
full committee would adopt to raise
about $1,5O0,00O for the biennium.
The tax bill falls that much below
appropriations approved by Joint
group.

Told Not To Under

P | e d g e of Aid to
France During War;
Italian Colonial De-
mands Cited

London, Feb. 24.-(AP) = Great
Britain has put forth one of the
strongest warnings she has yet made
to the dictator nations Of Europe.
Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax,
who has been mostly on the side
lines, while his close friend, Premier
Chamberlain, dictated foreign policy,
used this striking phrase in a state
ment to the House of Lords last
night:
"Halt! Major road ahead"
The statement, it was felt here,
was a warning to other powers not
to under-e estimate Chamberlain's re-
cent pledge that in the event of war
Britain would go to the defense Of
France.
1t was interpreted also as an OBJ
vious hint to Italy that that country's
thus-far underlined demands upon
France for colonial territory con-
stitute Europe's major war threat.
Lord Halifax told the upper house
that Britain could make no move to-
ward mediation unless and until
both parties desire it,

Four Years To Buy
Strategic Raw Materi-
ais; Treasury Post
Office Supply Bill of
,7O0,471,354 Before
House

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-(AP)-The
Senate Military Committee approved
unanimously today bill by Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Utah, authoriz-
ing expenditure of $1OO,OOO,OOO dur
ing the next four years for the ac-
QUESTION OF strategic raw materials,
many of which must be imported by
this country.
Senator Thomas said a board, con-
sisting of the secretaries of war,
navy. interior and state, would be au-
thorized to designate the strategic
materials and would be empowered
to encourage the development of
substitutes for them.
An authorization for $500,000 ex-
penditure during the next four years,
$350,0O0 by the Bureau of Mines and
$15O,000 by the Geological Survey,
also was included to finance the de-
velopment of raw materials in this
country.
Although the measure was not in
cluded in the administrations re-
armament program, Thomas said it
was allied closely with it.
World conditions make this bill
very, very timely" Thomas said.
Similar measures are pending in the
House.
The House, meanwhile, commenced
work on another big annual supply
bill, $780, 1854 measure to run
the Treasury and Post Office Depart
ments. Although slashed about $28,-
100000 below the budget estimates
by the appropriations committee,
which has been whacking at money
bills since the session started, the
measure still was about $197 ,OOO, 900
larger than last year.
Other developments:
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Okla
homa, charged before the Senate
Agriculture Committee that short
sellers of cotton were pressing for
release Of government loan cotton in
an attempt to cash in on price de-
cline. The outcome of a modified bill
empowering President Roosevelt to
plan a reorganization of the govern
ment was clouded by Republican OPP
position, and uncertain as to the at
titude of economy advocates. Repre-
sentative Taber, Republican, New
York, said it would give the Presi-
dent too much power Senator Byrd,
Democrat, Virginia, who argues that
the administrators original program
did not emphasize economy suf-
ficiently, withheld comment.

Raleigh, Feb. 24.-The finance
