LOUIS WOEFULLY
ON Defensive,
TRAINING SHOWS
Working for Early KayO
Of GOdOy, South Ameri-
can Challenger
BY JACK CUDDY
UNITED Press Staff Correspond,

UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Greenwood Lake, N. Y, June is.
(UP)-Joe Louis is destroyer with
out armor.
In the final stages Of preparation
for his 18th title defense against
Arturo Godoy Thursday night,
Bomber Joe shapes up as the most
destructive heavyweight king in his
tory, yet probably the weakest on
defense. He's lop-sided champion.
We have watched Bomber Joe
conditioning for IL previous fights.
We have sat in five times during
his training for this one-here at
Murico's Lakeside resort. And we're
giving you the cold dope.
Louis Is 26 years old, the pinnacle
Of prowesS for most fighters. He Is
magnificent, brown skinned athlete.
He Is the fastest puncher, with
either hand, In heavyweight history.
He's as game as bulldog, and
superbly conditioned.
Don't believe reports that the De-
troit Negro has been lax In training
for this return engagement with the
Chilean challenger, who held him
TO a split decision on Feb. 8. Never
before has Shufflin' Joe sharpened
his weapons to such q keen edge.
He is grimly determined to knock
out Godoy In the early going-de-
stroy the man whose bobbing and
weaving tactics subjected him to
worldwide ridicule in February.
He have never seen the champion
or any one else-punching with
such flnesse, with such perfect tim
ing, accuracy and controlled power.
We refer Of course to Louis as the
aggressor. In this connection, one
must recall that the champion Is
essentially an aggressive counter
puncher, who prefers to shuttle con-
stantly toward an opponent and
feint him into leading. In these ses-
sions Joe Is doing more leading than
in the past, and at times he shifts
from the upright stance to O semi
crouch. From this position he I'M
leashes the uppercutting barrage
against bobbing and weaving SPAR
mates which he hopes will straight
en- up the canvas-sweeping chal-
lenger.
But the law Of compensation has
worked out. Louis. q man with q
one-track mind, has concentrated
so much on the destruction Of others
during his amazing career, that now
more than ever-he leaves himself
open to destruction. Never before
has he been so easy to hit. On de-
Tense, he looks like q palooka. His
sparnates belt him often and hard.
Despite his experiences In the first
Godoy bout, he still seems perplexed
and hlpless when acked into cor
mr. or against the ropes.
Many have expressed surprise re-
Gently at Joe's lack o defense. Yes
terday, for example, welterweight
Champion Henry Armstrong--one Of
Louis best friends-said, II can't
understand It. Joe Is getting hit too
much. A good fighter tries to avoid
punishment at all times--even in
training"
It Is doubly dangerous for Louis
to leave himself open, because he
can't take II. He stuns too easily.
His lack of ruggedness was demon
strated forcibly by Schmeling, Brad
dock, Galento and Brescia.
Thus we have killer without

WARNING TO WESTERN WORLD

THE constant and abject licking Of Joseph
Stalin's boots is depressing example of the
lengths to which human abasement can CO. 1t is
world.
Many of us have held to the uncritical as
sumption that governmental power in the Euro
pean countries which have known democracy will
never be allowed to encroach too far, because if
lit attempts to do so the people will repulse it. What
this assumption overlooks is that as governmental
intervention and power grow, the power Of in
dividuals and minority groups to combat them is
correspondingy reduced. This leads to the paradox
that governmental intrusions are most easily pre-
vented when government is least intrusive, and
that centralized power tends to grow most rapidly
when it is already excessive.
The task of keeping proper balance is always
"a delicate one, and the task of holding political
power in check today is tremendous

MEN MUST WORK

DR. THOMAS PARRAN, head of the United
States Health Service, has written some wise
words on the subject of unemployment, from the
point of view of health.
"There are many posons known to medicine y
says DIR. Parran. "Most of them work quickly.
But there are other kinds that work slowly, and
idleness is the deadliest of them all.
"Men must work." says DR.. Parran, mot be-
cause it is their duty, but because it is their
nature. Once let man realize that he is totally
useless, that nothing he can do with his hands or
his mind is of any value to the community, and he
becomes a sick man-because his pride is gone.
'This government" DR.. Parran goes on to say,
cannot commit the crime of pauperizing millions
of citizens with dole-whatever you hear said by
semi-responsible people who have their own pul-
poses to serve. We must keep our citizens at work
because no other course is open.''

ARBITRARY AGE LIMITS HARMFUL

EMPLOYMENT of retention of workers should
- be based upon competence to perform work
and not on arbitrary age limits, the American Fed
eration of Labor holds.
Labor is on the soundest of grounds in con-
demning dissemination against the older worker
Such discrimination leads to many evils not con-
fined to the worker and his family. 1t means a
loss to industry by elimination of workers who
have reached an age of responsibility and who
have years of training.
Discrimination for age affects society as well
BY shortening the workers earning period, it in
creases his chances of becoming a charge on So
ciety in his old age. 1t leads to poverty and in
creases unrest and discomfort by embtterng the
worker 1t is harmful to the nation from every
standpoint.

HOME MARKET EXPANSION

a rising standard OF living can provide an in
definitely expanding market for the fruits of
our expanding productive capacity. We have only
begun to fulfill the unlimited promise of America
The vast potential expansion that awaits us in
this direction may be illustrated by the fact that
in 1935-36 there were more than IL million fami-
lies whose incomes were below 81 900 year. If
the incomes of all these families had averaged
$1,000 year, or less than $40 week. their annual
expenditures would have been greater by about
4 billion dollars.
They would have spent 300 million dollars
more on food alone, about TOO million more on
housing, about 400 million dollars more on cloth
ing, and an equal amount more for automobiles
and other forms of transportation. Expenditures
on fuel, light gas, and household furnishings
would have run 600 million dollars a wear HIGHER.

SOCIAL SECURITY PROGRESS

II NEMPLOY MENI insurance programs are now
in full operation in all parts of the country
the 1S states the District of Columbia, Alaska
land HaWai-the Social Security Board reports
Illinois and Montana the last states to launch
their programs. More than 27,5OO,OOO business
and Industrial workers are now covered by the
nationwide unemployment compensation program
Payments average about $11 per week for total
unemployment and about $3.50 per week for par
tial unemployment.
Who says we are not making progress? True
unemployment insurance programs are not all they
should be but that they represent distinct ad-
vance in social security for the wage earners is
undeniable

WHOLE-HEARTED LABOR SUPPORT

WHEN organized labor does something, it does
" it with it's whole heart and SOUL with en-
thusiasm and fervor.
The Bakery and Confectionery Workers Inter
national Union conceived the idea of baking huge
birthday cake for organized labor to present to
President Roosevelt this year as token of it's ef
forts on behalf of the nationwide fund raising
campaign for the 1910 nfantile paralysis wal
chest.
The cake, as conceived and created by the
Bakery Workers Union will be a masterpiece of
the bakers and sculptors art, as fine as anything
the bakers art has ever produced--an example, in
itself of that Warm-hearted enthusiasm with
which organized labor tackles job.
So beautifully sculptured birthday candles will
decorate the giant cake in recognition of the 58t
birthday of the nations Chief Executive which
labor and the nation will celebrate this year as
part of the unceasing on the crippling invader
poliomyetis
Candles the cake are being offered for sale
at 500 or more each. The SO purchasers who pay
the highest prices will have their unions checks
photostated and wrapped around the candles be-
fore the cake is presented to the President.
With scarcely any lapse of time since union
heads were notified that their treasury contri-
buttons would be welcome in the purchase of one
of the SO candles, II great unions have already
each bought one of the birthday candles. At this
rate, the candles will be over-sold quickly ly-anothel
example of organized labor's fervor and enthusi,
aSm for great cause.

FINE PUBLIC HOUSING RECORD

WHAT good housing, planned in accordance with
W modern conditions can do toward making
for better life in America is illustrated by the
record of the Parkside project in Detroit. The
Baltimore Sun reports that the Parkside project
where 400 children play daily, has concluded it's
first year of operation with record of no traffic
accidents police calls, no cases of JUVENILE de-
linquency.
Thomas j. Danahey, real estate operator and
formerly one of the most calstic critics of the
project is reported as saying he can now "annihil-
ate all the arguments which he advanced against
public housing few years ago
The projects 5000 tenants live on a 3O-acre
tract of land where all through traffic streets have
been dead-ended or diverted. Only driveways
necessary for efficient use of project facilities
have been retained Grocery store, drug store
meat market, dry cleaning, and other shops are
situated in special commercial area on the pro-
ject site.

MAGIC WORDS

chesapeake and Ohio Lines Magazine)
"CTOP Look and Listen are three magic words
~ that will prolong life, yet in spite Of safety
instructions and highway-railroad grade elimin-
ations, the number of accidents at crossings de-
creases very slowly. Motorists still seem intent
upon trying to beat the train to the crossing.
In the first half of 1889, such fatal accidents
at crossings amounted to $50, or decrease of only
16 compared with the same period of 1888. During
this time 1,846 persons were injured at crossings,
compared with 1862 in the corresponding period
of 1888. How many needless drivers will there
be who kill or injure themselves or others in this
way during 1910?
The railroads are safe carriers, using every
precaution to protect life During the coming year,
drivers should resolve to cooperate with them by
using every precaution to reduce grade crossing
accidents.

"PHONEY" WAR

WORDS are The tools Of writing men and those
" who attain honor and renown in their pro-
fession know how to use them. There is certain
chemistry about words which escapes the neo-
phyte The beginner puts them together like
wooden beads on string and they evoke all the
emotions inherent in hank of spaghetti.
All this is occasioned by the recurring use of
the word ''phoney' in connection with the pres
ent war, word used only by the insensitive and
the inexpert
There is certain grim humor in the idea of
ia man in Washington, New York or Kalamazoo
Sitting at a typewriter bored with the fact that
thousands are not dying daily. He perhaps, yearns
Tor bloody carnage-3,O0O miles away
1t is cruel, grim war, and we suggest that
the word "phoney' be left on the shelf.

1t ought to be clear to us that we cannot found
our American prosperity on the tragic sufferings
of European war We should rather seek to pro-
tect our economy from the inevitably disastrous
consequences of that war. Whether it is a short
war or long war, 1T will be followed by profound
economic disorder in Europe, and perhaps by econ
