W
instead OF getting q run for his
money, he had to come out here and
take charge Of the ceremonies at
which the ashes Of his ambitions
were quietly laid TO rest. And It
never knocked the smile of his face.
Not once, during all the confer
ences, meetings and public appear
ances which kept him busy before
and during the convention, did
Farley by word or action betray
resentment at the way his chief
had used him. He wasn't happy-you
didn't need to know him very well
to see that-but he didn't whimper,
he didn't sulk, and he stayed loyal.
GENERAL PUBLTCs
PICTURE DISTORTED
All Of which is really worth no.
ticing; because the general public
has somehow got distorted picture
of Jim Farley, and it ought to be
corrected.
Farley Is supposed to be "just q
politician" with the accent on the
word just. He happens to be o
lot more than that and that he
never got credit for It is pretty
much the fault of the inner-circle
New Dealers. All through the Roose-
welt administration, whenever prin-
ciples had to be compromised for
political expediency, Farley was the
whipping boy-the guy they blamed
1t on. He always took the rap-and
down the years he took quite q
few bum ones.
AS a matter of fact, for principles,
honesty and general all-round de.
cency Farley will stand comparison
with anyone in the cabinet-or, for
that matter, in the brain trust as
we'll. And as for his awareness Of
social and economic problems, and
his ability to approach them intel.
ligently-well, on the eve of the
convention one Of the most PROM
inent and non-political Of the New
Deals economic general staff told
me that he would be perfectly con.
tent to see Jim Farley In the White
House.
NEW DEALERS
MADE TASK HARDER
Farley's uncomfortable situation
at the opening Of the convention
was aggravated by the clumsiness
with which the New Dealers played
their hand. Farley knew that huge
majority Of delegates were ready to
vote a third term nomination, and
he wasn't prepared to buck; all he
asked was that things take their
regular order, with the names Of
other candidates (himself included
being put before the convention to
get such votes as might be available.
Yet the New Dealers continued to
work for nomination by acclama-
ton, despite the plain warnings that
that would mean q fight.
To cap 1t all, the New Dealers
reversed their field abruptly on the
matter of naming national chair
man. At first they had done every
thing in their power to get Farley
out; then, about the time the con.
vention opened, they began to realize
that they began to realize that they
needed him, and--having got him
to the point where he wanted to re-
sign-they did all they could to get
him to stay.
In all added up to bad situation,
for the party and for Farley per-
sonally. 1t would have been a great
deal worse-especially for the party
If Farley hadn't been able to meet
1t with good deal or real sports
manship.

m order to assist in the. better undergtandlng Of both individual and general health problems the National Youth Administration has lnaugurated health education pro. gram for the benefit of it's youth employees throughout Connecticut, it was announced today from the IVA State once in New Haven,
 Richard A. Barrett, MO Admin istrator for Connecticut, states that the first step in the general pro- gram has been the conducting of Q series of health lectures in the large cities including Hartford, Bridge. port Waterbury, Stamford and New Britain. These lectures are designed to famillarizc the youth with such general health subjects as: Nutri- ton, Hygiene, Dental Hygiene, Com. munlcable Diseases, Tuberculosis, Social Diseases, Sanitation, Safety and First Aid. The lectures are be. ing given in cooperation with local health departments and leading authorities in the various fields have been the principal speakers, Interesting films and exhibits per. tinent to each particular subject have made the lectures more Inter- esting and informative.
 Following the completion of the lecture programs all youth will be able to receive the benefits of in. dividual Tuberculln, Wasserman, Vision, Teeth, and Heart eXamin- ations. A follow-up program will then be conducted for those whose examinations indicate the need of corrective health measures. This will be in the form of recommenda- tons for visits to family physicians or clinics, and other procedures to be followed by youth in his en- deavor to improve his condition,
 MT. Barrett, in commenting on tho program, also pointed out that the tests will enable the IVA to better place the youth workers on job assignments which conform to their physical abilities. Tn addition, ho added, 1t must be considered that 1t is within this age group that health rehabilitation IS best carried on. Corrective health measures are best effected among youths and health education during this period of life enables an individual to be better prepared for the future.

which dethroned both the mems

Don plays Elwood Cooke today.
If he wins, he'll meet the victor
of The Frank Palmer-Jack Kramer

to get the finals, must beat the
youthful Ted Schroeder and then

.Conn.Pastor Go
Victor Unlikely
To Face Louis
Good Fight Expected,
However, as Clever
Heovies Box Tonight
By SID FEEDER,


NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Billy Conn
and Bob Pastor, couple of fancy
Dams of the boxing ring. fight it
out over the 15-round route in Madi-
son Square Garden tonight to de-
eide a future opponent for Joe
Louis, but when last heard from
Joe wasn't worrying too much
about it.
The best that can be said about
the chances of the Pittsburgh pretty
boy or the ex-collegian from Man
haitian, if tossed in there with the
Bomber, is. that tonight's fight
should be a good match to see.
For. while neither constitutes any
immediate threat to the crown rest
ing on Louis head, they are two
of the classiest boxing men among
the big fellows since Tommy Lougi.-
ran turned in his gloves.
The fight, postponed from mid
August because of a light shower
and a lighter ticket sale, has caught
few days. Promoter Mike Jacobs
now is confident he'll have $4,000
and about $4,000 Of the faithful IN
the house when they start swinging
at 9 pm. Washington time. On
its original August date the bout
would have been lucky to draw
S35 900.
No one seems to know why, but
the betting odds not only have re-
manned in Conn's favor, but actually
have gone up point or two in the
last "a hours. Around the sidewalk
betting commissioners stands on
Forty ninth street you could get as
high as 5 to 9 or ID that the Pitts
burgher does that thing to Bobby.
despite the fact Pastor went 20
rounds with Louis in two starts be-
fore the roof fell in on him in the
18th round in Detroit last fall.
On the belief that COINS board
of strategy is altogether too wise to
have made this match if they
thought Billy didn't have the stuff
to finish on top. this corner picks
the Smoky City lad to take deci-
sion.
He is reported in his best condi-
ton in a year, although the rosy
hopes that he would hit the $780,
mark in poundage for his first big
league" start among the heavy
weights have been wiped out. He'll
probably weigh less than 178, while
Pastor will be close to 1873.
AS for Louis match for the win
ner, the postponement in the origi-
nal date knocked right out the win
doy the plans for a September
showing of this extravaganza. There
is talk Promoter Mike may try to
run it off as a late-fall attraction in
California, or New York, but the
tip on this is that you shouldn't
believe all you hear.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-Don Nc
Neill is acting like the champion he
hopes he'll be. and that's why you
feel sorry for him.
The thought of being recognized
as Americas best tennis player fills
him with a great awe and a grave
sense of responsibility. He hopes
he can win the title next Monoay,
when the finals of the 59th annual
National singles championships are
nlaved If he does, he wants no past
interviews to creep up and haunt
him.
So he's more reticent than ever.
Yet he'd like to talk right out, 1or
he has a bunch it won't matter what
he says because he thinks he's going
to miss the boat this year.
Believes Riggs Nations Best.
Don actually wants to win, put ne
believes Bobby Riggs is the Ma
TONS best player today. He ad-
,nitted as much at an informal party
for the press in-of all places-the
tea garden that borders the con-
crete stadium at Forest Hills.
He said he'd rather meet Frank
Kovacs. the Oakland ace who spends
more time thinking up gags than he
Goes strategic moves, than Riggs IN
the final. .
AFTER all, I beat Kovacs at
SOUTHAMPTON, and Bobby beat me at
rive. OF course, I'd rather play
Kovacs,' he smiled.
Then the real answer popped out.
"Yes, I think Bobby's game is
absolutely at its peak right now.
Hes the greatest money player in
the game. 1 don't know why, but
don't seem to be going my best"
That's why you feel sorry for Don
He'd like the championship, and a
lot of people would like to see him
have it-but Bobby Riggs, in Don's
estimation, is the better player
rlc'ht now.
