The fighting speech conceded
with Hungarian postponement Of

of lessened tension along the Hun

Jersey City, N. j., July 2-(UP)-
Tony Galento will have a 23-pound
advantage over Max Baer when they
fight in Roosevelt stadium tonight.
At the official weigh-in Galento
scaled 244 IL; Baer, 221 1-2. The
weigh-in was held in the grand
ballroom of the Plaza hotel, lux
urious room fitted with heavy cham
delisrs. A crowd Of between 1.500
and 1000 waited in the street for a
glimpse of Baer and Galento. Baer
tried to put the "evil eye" on Gal
ento by staring at him with a con-
centrated expression on his face,
but Tony foiled this strategy by
frowning and looking In the oppo-
site direction.
With complete contempt for the
ordinary rules of training, Galento
went out and did some roadwork
this morning. Then he topped Off
his preparations for the fight by
playing a few fast hands of rummy
with members of his family. The
cut on Galento's chin, suffered when
his brother Russell threw a beer
mug at him during an intellectual
discussion over tickets to the fight,
seemed to have healed. A physician

be in charge of the fingerprinting
and registration of aliens In the
Waterbury area, required by the
federal law signed this week by
President Roosevelt. 1t is estimated
that several thousand aliens in this
section of the state will be obliged to
appear at the Grand street post
office, with jail terms facing those
who fail to obey.
Aliens of IA years and older are
affected by the new law. They must
appear at the post office within
the next four months, be finger
printed, and swear to the date and
place OF their entry into the United
States, also to their occupation and
to whether or not they have GRIM
inal records. \
Instructions For All
Instructions for all postmasters in
the state are now being prepared
and will be forwarded as soon as
possible. Supervising the work OF
postmasters in this state will be
Colonel L. L. Martineau director Of
the Connecticut division of the U. S.
immigration Bureau.
The registration law Is expected
to disclose many instances Of illegal
entry into this country. In such a
case if the entry was made after
July 1924, the aliens will be given
an opportunity to leave the country
voluntarily. If they fail to do so,
they face deportation proceedings.
Most aliens in this state came here
before July /, 1924.

Hartford, Conn, July 3. =
(UP) - Governor Raymond
E. Baldwin will be a candi-
date for reelection in the
fall, responsible Republican
quarters said today. The
governor made no comment
on the situation, other than
to say his plans for the fu-
ture were "indefinite". Gov
ernor Baldwin said, however, he
would put all my energy into the
campaign" to elect Wendell L. Wtllkie
as president.
Leading Republicans said they
were "sure" the governor would run
again this fall, and that the entire
state ticket would be renominated.
The main problem facing the party
IN the state, it was said, was to find
a suitable" candidate for the U. S.
senatorial nomination.
High party sources said Wilkes
nomination assured a Republican
victory in Connecticut in the fall
because of his great popularity In
the state"
Willkie, it appeared, would re-
ceive personal support of leading
Connecticut Republicans. The
governor was expected to make many
nationwide speeches in WILKES be-
half. National Committeeman
Samuel r. Pryor, Jr. Greenwich,
who supported Willkie weeks before
the convention, was expected to
work in a close advisory capacity
with the presidential nominee.

Ireland is being carefully avoided
by German air raiders in their bomb
attacks over the British Isles, as If
Hitler had planned to refrain from
action that might stimulate the
Irish people to strengthen their
home defenses. The Germans well
understand all possible advantages
that might accrue to them through
the division of political and social
sentiment between north and south
Ireland and the reluctance Of the
Irish Free state to cooperate with
England for mutual defense. Hitler
does not want to frighten the Irish
into a realistic acceptance Of war
fare conditions.
This is good strategy for Ger

Henry L. Stimson, Presi-
dent Roosevet's Republican
nominee for Secretary of
War, told the Senate Military
Affairs Committee today that
while no American desires to
send troops abroad, the
United States cannot protect
itself with a purely passive
defense.
Stirnson appeared at an. open
session of the committee Whfie Col
onel Frank Knox testified at pub
lie hearing before the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee, which is
considering his appointment as
Secretary of Navy. Knox, also a
Republican, requested that the
hearing be opened to the public.
Both men whose appointments
have been attacked by isolationist
members of congress, began their
testimony by reading from prepared
statements which set forth their
views on foreign policy and defense.
While Knox primarily concerned
himself with the problem Of defense
and the need for two-ocean navy,
Stimson called for aid to Great Brit
ain to enable 1t to maintain control
Of the North Atlantic. He said this
was vital to the United States.

troops beyond our borders unless the
