Three decisions, a knockout, q

victory over North Carolina State
last night as Coach Eddie LaFond' S
youthful leather-pushers auspici-
ously finished a surprisingly Sue

The feature of last nights seven
bouts also furnished complete vim
dication for LaFond for his use OF
Joe Bunsa, l55-pound ko. artist,
whom many criticized the veteran
c. U. mentor for using at all this
season. So sick last year that it
was once feared he never would
walk again, Bunsa made a sensa-
tional comeback in training, got
the c. US physician okay to fight
and won the majority of his
matches.
Bunsa Battlers Traylor.
Last night, Bunsa provided the
only Knockout Of the evening, floor
ing Donald Traylor, the visitors cap
tain, with a terrific left to the head
after l minute and IS seconds of
the third round. Bunsa had Traylor
extremely worried all through the
fight
A two-fisted attack in the third
round earned Ricardo Fernandez
the decision over Barton Belts of
the visitors in the 12o-pound class,
but Ed Young earned a draw with
the Cards Leonard Baritone by use
of a hard right in the 127-pound
division. Unpuzzled by Nestor
Martinez southpaw crouch, Henry
Means gave State its first win
in the 135-pound bout, peppering
the c. U. mans head at will.
In the 145-pound encounter, Bid
die Carraway Of N. c. State capi-
talized on fouls called on Bill Gear
on in the second round and landed
several telling punches to Gearon's
head in the third to win.
Jerry Strang of c. U. gave a

Ed Guy bloodied Julius stranges'

why young Dick Sisler signed

The Browns had made no bones
about wanting the son of their
former famous first baseman.
But, when Dick, 18-year-old g.

Colts professional army gave Henry

today and the ambling, smooth
stroking sharpshooter took five miles
of leeway as the club-swinging bri-
gade completed 54 holes of scrapping
for the $4,000 Crescent City Open
purse.
His opposition fired their best
shots in an effort to overhaul the
tall Pennsylvania pro, who held a
one-stroke lead going into the days
18-hole round, but the 31-year -old
veteran exhibited another great dis
play Of putting to crack par for the
second straight round.

Picards great third-round 68,
four blows under the City Park
course par, came from fine recovery
shots as well as uncanny putting
and gave him 209 and a five-streke
lead at the close of 81 holes.
Picard was seven strokes under
standard figures for the distance
and there seemed no heading
him off.
Harold (Jug) McSpaden of VIM

 President Roosevelt is being represented better, misrepresented-a a warmonger and leader of a war party-by some isoationist Congressman and by some of the more bitter anti-administration papers Although he has made commitment, as he cannot, it is charged that he is fomentng by persistent hints that the United States will give sup port Britain and France through measures short of war"
 It is quite worth noticing in this connection that another leader of democratic people being accused of Warmongerng. That is Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. In the Nazi press he is the principal powerful coalition block Fascist aggression He is even framing alliance with Communist Russia restore respect for frontiers Europe To the Naz press this is nothing but way of stirring up enmtes and rumors of
 Curiously, MT. Chamberlain is lavshy praised in this country by the people who most criticize MT Roosevelt for much more cautious and unentangling statements in the spirit Chamberlain's.
 The fact of course is that MT Roosevelt is doing what little he despite the stubborn and unseeing bloc of solationiss strengthen the Franco British policy The world recognizes today that the challenge of Germany and Italy can be met only by determined resistance not appeasement But in every country there remain some who would like to see the "de- ermined resistance" supplied by neghborng coun- tries They would like to have safety and the benefits of peace without assuming any risks themselves.
 It is too early to be certain that the courage of France and Britain will prevent general But it is not early to give the American Government credit for modest and cear-sighed role in fostering that Franco British policy which is the hope of peace

locator may subsequently, patent the claim, if he wishes on compliance with further provisions of the law but patent is not necessary to insure to him the property rights mentioned
 In view of such lberalty, the assessment work requirement. is hardly unreasonable That it be com piled with good faith is essential if the existing vast acreage of unpatented mining claims is not to be left in the possession of those who either willing or unable to prospect and develop them.
 Exceptional circumstances may warrant suspen- sion of the work requirement. as, for example, when claim holders drafted for military service during the World War, so that compliance with the law was made impossible for them except for those who could get someone to do the work. Depressions may like wise work injustice though here the justification for suspension is less well defined Experience however, has shown that any willingness of Congress to be enient is likely to be abused. Once granted suspen- sion has tended to become perennial and is checked this only with great difficulty. The basic purpose of the law it should be remembered, is to promote development of the public mineral lands and preserve individuals in the private possession of them.
 If suspension is to be ordered year after year the decent way for the problem be handled to wipe off the books the law requiring mining assessment work Much time and uncertainty would thus be saved

AGAIN THE QUESTION OF
 ASSESSMENT WORK

Congress is debating again a perennial piece of legislation which comes year after year regularly the spring Uniquely this is legislation reverse law to suspend law already on the books. But it has not failed of passage single year since 1882.
 Alaska takes considerable interest in this question of suspending the legal requirements to perform ance of assessment work on mining claims. Alaska was explicitly excluded from the suspension act in 1885. 1886 and 1887 and might just have well have been last year the bill not enacted until June % two days before the end of the fiscal by which time all work supposed to have been done.
 Here in another respect the assessment work suspension is Dates of passage of the since 1882 have been June G. May IS, May IS, June 13 April 24 June 24 and June 29 This is providing relief in the nick of time the year to which each suspension act applies is the fiscal one ending June 31 The claim holder who really cares about holding on certainly will not take chance late June "A June 29 on letting his assessment work slide The effect of the suspension therefore, is to put a premium on shftlessness.
 Bills providing for suspension in the present year have already been introduced in both House and Senate. Alaska is included But amendment at any time may change the including Alaska to "ex- cep Alaska" The Territory may be proud that it has asked to be excepted from the law in the past Dele gate Dirnond has in message to the Territory that it would be definitely hazardous to rely on tnOlEbr llHllnB ASSeSSfne1ll WOrR EHOldlOflufn
 Unless Congress takes frmer stand than it has staken in the past few years however may expect 10 suspension again authorized, at least for the class of claim holders that has enjoyed it for several years past and with similar provisos Claim holders are numerous and vocal Those opposed to continuance of suspension usually have succeeded in impressng their views on Congress only after long delay.
 Simplicity characterizes the assessment work pro vision of the United States mining law. As provided in Sec 2324 of the Revised Statutes it is in brief that on each mining claim located discovery of mineral being prerequisite to such locationl, and until a patent has been issued therefor not less than S100 worth of labor must be performed improvements aggregating such amount must be made each year, and that proof of such performance shall be filed in the office where the notice of location is recorded. This proof consists of affidavit. Compliance with this requirement., the notice of location has been recorded in accordance with the law gives the locator property rights recognized by the courts The
