New York, July 11.-(UP)-Henry
Armstrong, who is studying up to
be a poet when he ends his career
In the ring, probably Is the most
well read man Of anyone fighting

camp room are lined with substan-
tial volumes that not even Gene
Tunney would mind being caught
reading.
Unfortunately, there is one vol
ume that seems to be missing. It's
q book, to, that you think almost
any prizeflghter might like to have
o look at. I refer to the Marquis
Of Queensberry's beSt-seller, which
has to do with the rules that gov
ern a battle Of fists between two
men. If ever there was man who
needed to sit down and absorb the
contents Of the Marquis book that
man Is Armstrong. The little negro
welterweight champion Is perhaps
the most fragrant violater Of the
rules boxing has produced In years.
Such roisterers as Tony Galento,
Max Baer and Arturo Godoy are
more violent in their disregard for
the Marquis stern admonitions, but
they aren't as consistent as Henry.
Boxing Code Dropped

you'll find that he loses an average

his refusal to follow the boxing

bureau said. From this figure, it
deducted 5000, 900 aliens and 490,-
900 District of Columbia residents
to arrive at it's total of potential
voters. Aliens are not permitted
to vote and there is no ballot in

Cards on which to register the
men were received from Carney and
the registrars went to work, regis
tering the men at police headquar-
tiers.
At 10 o'clock Is of the Is men had

silk hats" Wendell L. WiIlkie de-
clared tonight that "a safe, strong
and prosperous America" could be
accomplished only by hard work,
faith in ourselves and sound lead
ership in government"
Although devoted primarily to
farm problems, the text prepared
by the republican presidential
nominee also urged a strong ma
tional defense and contended that
the New Deal has been leading the
nation or the road to bankruptcy.
Solution of the farm problem, he
said, does not lie "in sudden de-
cisions and trick schemes design
ed to catch votes" but must be
evolved step by step from past ex-
perience.
"The insane attack that the New
Deal has carried on against bust
ness and industry for the last eight
years has hurt the farmers" Will
kie said. He added that re-employ-
ment in industry would create vast
new farm markets, and continued:
"The quarrel I have with the
present administration is that the
New Deal does not believe those
foreign and domestic markets
can be restored, whereas I do"
Willkie told a trainside crowd in
Minnesota that 1--WE have got to
get out of this defeatist talk and
make America strong and produc-
tive with jobs at constantly rising
wage levels" He renewed his pro-
posal for a White House conference
