 Like To Swindle
 Many of the men and many of the scandals created by their swim dies have had much in common All loved luxury. Kreuger's palaces and apartments were filled with art treasures; he was said to live with check book in his hand.
 Julian, at the height of his wealth, lived like an oriental prince. Stavisky spent lavishly and entertained in the highest so- cial circles in France. Ponzi had a palatial home at Lexington, Mass. and was driven about in an enor- mours cream -colored automobile Coster- Musicals pride was beau tiful l32-foot yacht on which he often cruised and entertained.
 Kreuger Stavisky and Coster- Musica moved in the highest so- eiety. Kreuger walked with kings md potentates; lent them mill ions. Staviskys box at the races was next to Frances president, ano when Handsome Alex's' perfidy was uncovered, a cabinet went

What the end of the story in the irug company case will be is not determined, of course, but in every other instance there has been a rail of tears behind the swindle .ings
 Pcnzi's original investors, back n the 1920's were said to have put $15,00O,O00 into his interna- tional exchange scheme in Boston and thousands more were sunk in his Florida real estate.
 Although Julian had stepped out of the Julian Petroleum Company in Los Angeles when that com pany collapsed, it was referred to as a s1O0,0O0,0o0 company. His suc- cessors were sent to the penitenti- ary. In Oklahoma, Julian's second company sold stock and interests to the tune of $3,500000.
 Tragedy Follows
 Suicides, riots in which more than score of persons were killed and murders followed in wake of French pawnshop scan- dals. Kreuger's suicide shook sev eral nations and the losses to in- vestors ran into nine figures.

'N0V0CAINE K|D' HAILED AS GREAT
 THREAT TO LOUIS
Fight Mob Believes New Heavy on Way 10
 Championship
By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer

NEW YORK, Jan, 5.--It is quite possible that Joe Louis eventual ccnqueror pushed his curly y-thatched head over the fistic horizon while cutpointing Tommy Farr the other night.
 Some of the cauliflower critics waxed so enthusiastic as to drop strong hints along that line.
 Perhaps it would be more con- servative to say that good-looking Lou Nova convinced the Appeared gentry along Bash Boulevard that he was the most promising young ster to hove in sight since Louis himself
 Nova definitely is not ready for Louis now.
 The Dark One uttered full ker- mel of truth after the humping brawl when he muttered that he could whip 'em both the same twi- light.
 Farr Introduced Him But given year or so to sponge up experience, while the Old Man with the Scythe takes another hack at Joseph Barrow, and the Nova caine Kid may hit the jackpot. It turns out that Tonypandy Tom my Farr, the Welsh warbler who sealously protects the status. quo of his American fistic average at Point zero-Zero-zero, has unwfttingly done yeoman service for boxing
 FIRST, the erswhile coalminer de- monstrated it was possible for a man to stay IS rounds with the Beige Beak Buster without ha aing his nos- gin divorced from his torso.
 SECOND. the blond biffer restor- ed the Lvermore Larruper, Max Baer to challenger rating.
 THIRD, he may have unwillingly introduced Louis successor to Madi- son Square Gardens fight mob.
 Get a load of this Nova: He's handsome, wel-built, clean-cut. He's intelligent-and this is commodity that is sparsely distributed in the leather pushing racket. He's stand up fighter with good left jab and a persuasive punch with either a left or a right hook. He owns ser- viceable uppercut and a peach of a short right jolt
 He isn't hard to hit but he takes a punch well. He'll fight his way out of a furry of blows. He's quick to sense that he has made an error and smiles almost apologeticalIy thereafter. He's calm and fast to follow up an opportunity.
 Outiasts Farr
 This Farr is a tough customer and gent known for his stamina and ability to finish strong. Yet Nova, fighting over the 15-round route for the first time, finished stronger and, from somewhere, he found the power to almost knock out Farr. when his big chance came in the l4th round
 Maybe they'll pitt him against Baer, and what will happen? Well, there's good possibility that he'll outbox Max. And there's another probability that Max will tag him with looping right and send him to- the sidelines.
 And Farr? He's still with us. He's about the gamest and toughest tough in the business. Hes lost all four American starts but he put up a grand fight every time. He gave Louis a good battle. He shouldn't have gotten worse than a draw with Jim Braddock Several knockdowns cost him the Baer fight. And against Nova. he was finishing fast and couragecusly and apparently mov- ing toward decision when he bumped into a jolt on the jaw that

Hitler Paper Indicates
Revival of Donziq Issue

BERLIN. June 10 (Sunday) P.-
IN an editorial entitled "Danzig
Comes to Life" Adolph Hitler's news
paper Voelkischer Beobachter init
mated today that the Danzig ques-
ton may become live issue soon.
The newspaper vigorously en-
phasized the same thought as that
expressed last night at Danzig by
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels In one section of an i'm
promptu speech.
Goebbels recalled that in a Reich
stag address April %, Hitler said
"Danzig is German" and then OBJ
served pointedly that "it is not the
habit Of Hitler to utter empty words. '
Voelkischer Beobachter said:
Almost two months have passed
since the Fuehrer made the desire
of Danzig to return to the Reich his
own desire. 1t is understandable If,
here and there, Danzig citizens anxi-
ously ask If this assurance of the
Fuehrer is still valid. "''
But today messenger of the
Fuehrer, DR.. Goebbels, repeated word
for Eord the declaration of the
Fuehrer. Today Danzig knows that
now and forever it does not stand
alone, and that it will obtain Justice
come what may. That is the his
toric significance Of June IT,"

Quota Plan Is Devised
To Restrict Japan's
Scrap Purchases
System Would Cut Down
Metal Exports Without
Naming Any Nation
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Government officials, an informed
source said yesterday. have worked
out a proposed quota system for
exports of scrap iron and steel
which would drastically restrict
Japan's purchases here of metals
vitally necessary in manufacturing
munitions.
The system, which may be rec
commended to Congress shortly
would have the effect of cutting
Japan's purchases of the metals tc
perhaps one-third of their present
volume while not mentioning Japan
nor, ostensiblv, being aimed at any
particular nation.
The plan goes like this:
The total shipment of American
scrap iron and steel to all purchas-
ers has been computed over sew
eral periods embracing number
OF years 90 is the figure most
frequently mentioned) and the
yearly average taken.
Now Japan's huge purchases OF
scrap have been made in just the
last two or three years. In 1888
they were only 100000 tons, where
as in 1887 they rose to 1901 POP
tons and in 1888 were 1901 ,sO1.
BY taking the yearly average and
making that a maximum. a law
can be recommended to Congress
which would say in effect:
Exports of scrap iron and steel
shall be permitted under licenses
to be issued by the State Depart
ment only in amounts not TO ex-
ceed the yearly average of exports
OF any one country over a period
OF blank years to date"
Japan's purchases of scrap would
thereupon fall to less than 100000
tons annually, it is estimated.

BRATISLAVIA, June II. Slo-
vakia, the tiny state carved out by
Adolf Hitler's influence in Central
Europe, is struggling through an
economic nightmare.
That Germany realizes the prob
lem was indicated two days ago
when sources close to the gov
enrment reported she had granted
the Slovaks a loan of 10000, 900
marks nominally s48,OOo,00O.
Slovakia's problem as etched by
DR.. Imrich Karvas, governor of the
new Slovak National Bank and last
minister of commerce in the
Czecho-Slovak government before
it vanished in March, contains
these elements:
She fears a foreign boycott Is
being directed against her goods
that brands them as made in
Germany and may destroy the
markets she built up in 20 years.
Her industries, employing 20
per. cent of her 2,5O0,0O popula-
ton, may be shut down within
three months.
Her currency, once based on
Czech gold reserves, may be in
f1ated as last resort to save
the country from collapse.
Three months should tell the
story of whether we will sink or
swim," DR.. Karvas said.
Meanwhile, feverish German mill
tary activity was reported from
the upper Vag River Valley, which
lead toward Poland. German
troops, assisted by military engi-
neers. worked on Notifications ad-
jacent to the Polish border. Hun
dreds of military trucks and re-
