Powerful War Fleet Of Japan Aids Troops
toontinued from Page D

1 tinue the Tientsin blockade was taken as an indication that whatever the Japanese government might like to do. The army was determined to carry on. The army, under the war ministry, is responsible solely to Em- peror Hirohito and not to the cab- inet.
 Admiral YarneII Leaves
 Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, com- manding the United States fleet in the Far East, left Tientsin for Chinwangtao, up the coast, this aft- ernoon. During brief visit he had inspected the American marine gar- rison of 233 officers and men, and visited the Japanese consul general, Shigenori Tashiro, to talk over the general situation. At Chinwangtao Admiral Yarnell will rejoin his flag ship, the cruiser Augusta.
 A Japanese dispatch from Peiping said that the Japanese-Sponsored Society of National Salvation for Peace" was organizing an anti-Brit- ish demonstration for Friday, the 14th anniversary of a massacre" in which British sailors fired on Chi nese demonstra tors in the foreign quarter of Canton.
 Three thousand pro-Japanese white Czarist) Russians threaten to march through the British con- cession here Sunday under arms. A few women and children con- tinued to leave the concessions for vacation resorts.
 British troops of the Durham Light Infantry Regiment emerged from their concession today in a truck convoy and brought back vegetables without challenge from the Japanese.
 It was noticeable that from the start the Japanese had not so far molested British troop attachments, and numerous British officers had gone past the Japanese picket lines to the country club every day for recreation.
 French troops bring in food daily for their own markets and foreign CTS are permitted to bring food through the barriers.
 But the food supply still was short because the Japanese took long time, under their orders, to inspect" the food brought in by Chinese car- riers.
 Japanese consular officials, ex- blaming the refusal of the Japanese to permit the British chief-of f-staff to see the Japanese chief-of-staff, said they had told the British off, cer, Brigade Major c. B. H. De La Main, that the Japanese chief was "too busy", and that a meeting would be useless anyway unless the British were now ready to accept the Japanese viewpoint.

LEGAL SQUABBLE
 ON MANN, M'COY
{Continued from Page D

/ (Continued from Page 1) fused to listen to Feinmark's cita- tions from an early supreme court opinion bearing on a similar case.
 Krompier filed the action after Coskey suspended him indefinitely following the Al McCoy-Natha Mann fight at Bridgeport last month, which was stopped in the third round when the commissioner charged Mann's handlerh attempted to revive him as by splasihng water in his face after a knockdoWn and that Krompier sounded the time keepers bell 50 seconds ahead of time to save his fighter from a knockout.
 Awarded Mccoy
 The fight was awarded Mccoy, guest referee Benny Leonard was banned permanently from Connecti- cut rings for allegedly keeping Mann on the floor until count of nine and the attorney general was so- licited to revise the statutes so that guest referees would have to pro- cure a regular referees license in the future.
 Mccoy and Mann are to meet at New Haven Monday night in a re- match and Coskey has warned he would appeal to state and local po- lice to keep Krompier from Mann's dressing room and from being in his corner.
 Feinmark said he would comply with the courts instructions and re- draw the complaint, which probably will be heard later in the day. Counsel for opposing sides con- ferred with Judge Cornell in cham bers and although Feinmark pre- pared an amended complaint, a hearing was begun on the original petition.
 The allegations, however, were confined to whether Coskey's ap- pointment was constitutional and whether he had the authority to draft regulations governing boxing in the state.
 In the latter respect, Judge Cor nell told Feinmark: 1I IS VCIy dpPdlC CAt 1iolLi IiiC dSt that it was the intent of the general assembly to regulate boxing. There was not in so many words a rule laid down. There is no use arguing the point. I cannot see that this whole chapter is unconstitutional Doctrinally, you are absolutely on sound ground. The courts, however have based the rule on the exped- iency of the moment" Coskey took the witness stand to identify himself as state athletic commissioner and to verify his re- vocation of Krompier's license on May 24.
 Krompier, who followed him, tes- tified that on May "A he had a | contract to manage Mann, still has it and received a percentage of the fighters earnings. They were the only witnesses heard.
 Judge Cornell was expected to take the case under advisement.

Craigie, British ambassador to To- kio, had made the point clear to the Japanese government, inform ing the latter that i've do not acquicsce in this blockade.
 The prime minister replied with an emphatic mo, sir" to 8 question by Robert J. Boothby, conservative, on whether the government is mak- ing contact with Soviet Russia on the Chinese situation.
 Chamberlain said stocks of flour and rice in the British concession of Tientsin are ample but the delivery of perishable foodstuffs remains spasmodic.
 The barrier restrictions are un- changed but no further incidents were reported in the latest govern ment cables, Chamberlain said.

 Adopt the so-called 'last-in-f first out" method of computing reports of manufacturer. Under existing law, the price of raw materials first entering inventory is used in com putting profits on the finished pro- duct. Under the mendment, the price of the last raw materials en- tering inventory would be used in computing profits. The new system would tend to prevent violent price fluctuations.

SENIORS CHOOSE YEARBOOK
The beginning of a much discussed
project was realized last week when
the class of '39 decided upon a year
book.
Mr.. Simmons presented to them two
model books, explaining them and
presenting them for discussion. The
problem of financing them was the
main topic of discussion. Everyone
agreed the book would be valuable to
have in future years as a reminder
of our present school days and class
mates. Feeling, furthermore, that
many other people would wish such a
book, the seniors have begun this un-
dertaking.

81 international experts agree that
today it's a toss-up between 3 of
Europe's famous beers and ; beers
made in the US. A. It's good news
to you because one of those beers is
cunther's. and costs you only dime

DoUBIIEss you've heard people rave
about Danish, Dutch, German and
Czechoslovak beers. You may have tasted
them yourself and know how good they are.
But did you know that today the U. S. A. is
making beer that is ranked on par with
Europe's most famous brews? It's fact! And
81 international experts recently proved it.
How Experts Did It
It was at a recent congress of international
experts that this exhaustive comparison
was made ofthe estEuropeanan and Domestic
beers: All of these experts are members of
the International Barmen Association with
headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. And
all are of different nationalities now serving
the finest bars of this country.
Not single man knew what beer he was
comparing. All he knew was that some were
from abroad, some domestic. He had to judge
them on quality of body, color and favor.
A Toss.ub
And when the 81 experts had made all their
comparisons here was the result:
FIRST:
3world famous imported beers had
scored 4s points.
Slime beers made in this country had
scored 50 points.

Not Worth Reading

I have come to the conclusion
that your paper isn't worth read
ing. For one thing the mental
ity of many of the persons con-
tributing to your column is
subject to grave doubt. Such
persons as B. l.. H., c. A. b.
and the rest of the ilk who
contribute so faithfully to your
columns typify, in my mind, the
most reactionary Of the coun-
try's elements whose rantings
are a true source Of danger to-
day to all that is truly demo
cratic and American. p
Their gibberiSh about 100 per
cent Americanism, their anti
Semitic tendencies and their
outright intolerance would do
justice to Nazi Germany or
Fascist Italy where they really
belong.
These lose sight Of the fact
this country was founded and
developed by men and women
from divers European countries
(including their first anceStorS),
that the greatness Of America is
largely due to a fusion Of many
bloods and cultures. and that
the only truly 100 per cent
American is the North American
Indian.
AS for your editorials, they
are so vile as to be practically
indigeStible. For these Sundry
reasons, I no longer intend to
waste good money and precious
time on your pro-Fascist paper.
