WASHINGTON, June 10. (UP)-
Reps. John z. Anderson, r., Calf,
and John M. Costello, D., Calf, to-
day proposed legislation to create
an official home defense force.
They said the war department
approved of the measure which
would amend the national defense
act to make the home defense Or
ganized reserves an integral part
of the army of the Unit5d States.
Enlistment would be voluntary,
without compensation and limited
to men over 35.
"A we'll organized home defense
guard is extremely necessary IN

in joint statement. The Ameri-

with the movie makers and press
agents and other slave drivers whom
Shapely Carole Lands claims are
making her a fugitive from a leg
art career"
Miss Lands revolted few weeks
ago and announced she would
henceforth appear before the cam
era in something more substantial
than the skin-tight bathing suit
she fits so we'll. She threw over
board her press agents campaign
TO capitalize on a gasoline billboard
campaign and label her the ping
girl-because she purrs." She mailed
100 letters to newspaper editors
urging them to throw away the pic
lures of her in bathing suits, and
she decreed no more skln-tight

Today the Calcraft Knitting Mills,
inc, brought the damage suit,
claiming Miss Lands agreed to pose
in the company's bathing suit, but
refused to allow the pictures to be
published.

JAPS PUT. NEW ORDER
In GAME OF TENNIS
By Associated Press)

PEIPING, North China, Mar. 5.
ingenuity has de-
veloped a new court game COM
bining the main features of ten
mis- with a bit of baseball slug
ging.
Unable to obtain standard ten
mis- balls because of the wartime
import restrictions, japanese sol
diers have substituted a soft rub
ber-covered sphere with a mini
mum of bounce. A wallop which
would send tennis ball quar-
ter of a mile, barely drives the
new ball over the net. A high lob
bounces about two feet off the
court.
To keep the ball in play, the
players have to slug away a la
DiMaggio, hitting with one or
two hands in what vaguely re-
sembleS a side-armed volley. The
low bounce requires quick action
and wide court covering.
The new ball will never be
welcomed at Wimbledon, but it
provides the Japanese with plen-
ty of exercise for a small sum.
The balls cost 10 cents each in
local currency, compared with the
price of SIC for three imported
balls.

DISAPPOINTMENT LAST WE'D.

TO CARD TOP BOUTS

Every arena at some time or
another runs into some "bums"
who think they can fool the pub
lie by putting over fake fights"
This was attempted at the Strand
last Wednesday and the manage
ment soon took prompt action.
One thing is a certainty, however,
the Wednesday night fight card
will be packed full of action and
will go long way toward re-
paying the fans for their disap-
pointment last week.
That little fellow who craWled
through the ropes last week to
challenge frankie Green, after
the Lansing, Mich, boy had scor-
ed a technical knockout over
Chino Hernandez, will bear
watching. He is human dyna-
mo, who can absorb punishment
while dishing out the same.
Green will have to hustle in there
Wednesday night to get the nod.
The Green-Garcia scrap will
serve as the semi-windup to the
Jimmy Gonzalez" Buddy" Spie-
del go. Gonzalez is a Tampa boy
who has had considerable ring
experience and keeps in condi-
ton by chopping wood. Buddy"
is the pride of the airmen in Nav
al Patrol Squadron VP53 and this
bout should produce considerable
action.
Chino Hernandez, who lost to
Green last week, begged for an
other bout on this weeks card. 81
want to show the fans that / can
fight, Chino said. Il don't know
what happened to me last week..
So. Chino has been booked to
fight Neal Gonzalez, a cousin of
that ring favorite, Felix Con
zalez. Neal makes his home in
Miami and will arrive early We'd
nesday with Green.
Battling Award, who got up
off the floor last week to beat Old
Brass into submission, will meet
Kid Trinoiti, United States Ma
rines, in a four-rounder.
"Baby Face" Santana, who has
won both his fights, and Kid Es-
tebana, who won his fight last
week, have been booked for the
opening four-rounder.
A real battle-royal, which the
management assures will provide
lots of fun, will open the card.

The third period saw the Army

In the final quarter, a tired
