ing from hearings under the old commission restrictions against po- litical activity. The reasion for this
 is that Hatch act violations are subject to review in the courts. A
 complete public record will have to be made for court hearings in
 case persons found guilty by the
 commission decide to appeal.
 Although the details have not been worked out in actual prac-
 tice yet, I do not believe that pet ty complaints will result in em- barrassment to any Federal work CTS. Not all complaints by any means will result in hearings
 Preliminary investigations will dis close that some are not serious enough to merit even preliminary
 investigations.
 A clarification of the law through
 hearings and court action will un-
 doubtedly result in fewer and fewer trivial complaints being filed. The {! firing of persons found guilty is not
 discretionary with the commission. ] If a worker is found guilty of vio- i lation of the Hatch act, the law
 provides that the commission must i fire him at once.
 DoE .nh r-Cn for as I know, there is no one in the government to whom you can write your complaint about pro- gram material on the radio The censorship clause of the commit nications act places the responsi- bility on the station. The Federal Communications Commission has no authority to put persons on the air or take them off. The cOmmis- sion here constantly gets such con- plaints. A recent batch included one from state adjoining yours about the commercial plug" on a tobacco program; another against a programs effect on children and there are several almost daily about liquor advertising. In each case the commission has to write back that it has no authority. The only thing I know that you can do is write and get your friends to write the rad.s station.

Officials pointed out. however.
that a numerical comparison Of
navy strength today with seven
years ago does not reveal the COM
plete picture because many OF the
vessels in service in 1888 were
average and obsolete. A total of
100 new warships have been con-
structed since then.
While the active fleet shows an
increase OF only 10 warships, the
remainder represents replacement
OF obsolete vessels, Of which 50
neutrality patrol vessels mot in
cluded in active navy strengthl
have been reeommissioned and are
being used now.
In addition, 66 warships--
exclusive of auxiliaries, sweep
ers, and mosquito boats--are
being rushed to completion In
private and navy yards. These
include eight new battleships
six Of $4,000 tons and two
of $1,000 tons.
In every department, efforts are
being made to modernize defenses.
The army, for instance, is purch-
asing Garand semi-automatic rifles
-23 shots per minute-to replace
the Springfield-1o shots per min
ute-which have been in use since
1908. A total of 10000 Garands
have been delivered. and 10000
more have been ordered. Obsolete
anu-tank weapons are being re-
placed with 81 NM guns.
The navy has launched a $685.
000, 900 air base program. and is
developing a chain OF IL aerial and
submarine strongholds in Puerto
Rico, Alaska, the mid-Pacific and
in the Atlantic.

Travellers See
Holland Ruins

BERLIN = Travellers returning
from the Netherlands said today
that German bombers had taken
only 20 minutes TO level most of
Rotterdam and kill hundreds OF
its people.
There was no official German
estimate Of the number killed in
Rotterdam. Germans there said
the toll was 300 killed. $50
wounded.
THE French state radio reported
from Paris Monday that 100, 600
one-fifth of Rotterdsms popula-
tion-had been killed..
The travellers told of passing
blasted cities, while smoke still
rose from the ruins. The town of
Rhenen on the Rhine, they said,
was destroyed.
On a trip from Utrecht TO
Arnheim, the travellers said, they
saw the skeletons of houses, with
yawning, blackened windows and
gaping roofs.
One Of the few areas with
out battle scars, the travellers
said, was the wooded section
near Doom, where the former
kaiser maintains his estate in
exile. The fresh green spring
foliage there looked as IL IL
were worlds removed from any
conflict.
Civilian life was slowly resum-
Ing in Holland, the travellers said.
In Amsterdam and the Hague they
found stores open, but gasoline,
tea and coffee were being ra-
toned.
Germans said the gasoline was
rationed because OF the destruc-
ton, by the British, of huge Stand
ard Oil Company and Royal Dutch
gasoline storage tanks. These
tanks, near Amsterdam, burned
five days.

ST.LOU|S CLUB
 FOLD UP
Night Baseball Limit Pros vides Real Financial
 Problem

Chicago, Dec. 13---(UP)-A major mystery in baseball today is how the St. Louis Browns will operate next season with their quota of night games cut in half.
 President Donald L. Barnes and general manager William O. De- Witt, refusing even to listen to in- quires, have been in conference ever since the major leagues and Con- missioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voted Wednesday to limit all clubs to seven home games at night.
 Long delay ip releasing a state- ment-now expected at 10 a. m. Sat- urday-led to speculation over the fate of the Browns.
 Barnes and Dewitt were bitterly disappointed over the legislation eliminating their plan for IA night games. They had persuaded the American league that they needed IA to break even and that they couldn't stand another financial loss, but Ladnis and the National league voted a seven game limit for all.
 Tn IA night games last season, St. Louis drew 136,000. The total for the entire season was 30,000, enough to break even financially.
 Before night baseball, the Browns lost a reported $100,0o0 a year and their total attendance for each of the years 1937-1939 was under the 136,000 drawn at night only in 1940.

OvERLIN SLIGHT FAvOR|TE OVER
 KIDCHALLENGER
Champ Figures Experience Will Keep Him Off Floor
 This Time
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor)

New York, Dec. 13 - (UP) On this unlucky day--Friday the 18th Steve Belloise, a spidery young man from the Bronx, gets his second shot within six weeks at the middle weight championship of the world,
 His opponent, of course, will be the chainpion--tnat eminent Conga dancer who is pugilisrn's gift to cafe society, Ken Overlin. Despite the fact that he is 30 years old and has been doing 8 marathon rhumba in night clubs for 10 years Overlin is a slight favorite although some even money bets have been made.
 The boys are going back to the wars so soon because they staged a fight on November 1 that had the customers swariming out of their seats in Madison Square Garden, screaming with excitement. Overlin won the decision that night after weathering rocky sixth round, and so a return bout was indicated. This is 1t.
 Hard Hitter
 Belloise has lean legs and long arms which he holds in an extended widespread fashion that gives him the appearance of huge spider trying to trap a fly. But he punches hard with both hands, and the last time out he hit Overlin so hard that he came within whisper of being middleweight champion. The Bell loise blows don't travel far, but they land with 8 jolt and one of them caught Overlin flush on the button. He went down, got up and took quite a beating before he succeeded in lasting out the round.
 If Belloise had been more eXper- ienced-he is only 22 years old-he could have moved in for the kill and won the championship.
 Tonight Overlin will rely on his ability to tie up sluggers and keep them of balance. He is overcome with chagrin because he allowed Belloise to get a clean shot at his jaw last time and has taken 8 VOW in a hundred cocktail lounges that he will not commit such @ faux pas again. Nor is he worried about the mystic number 13. which seems to dominate him in this fight. It is Friday the 18th, Overlin boxed 13 days in the gymnasium getting ready, he has had 13 fights in 1940 and this is the 18th year he has been in the fight racket.
 Overlin will have an advantage of around five pounds-160 to 1855. Bel loise, however, will have a full inch advantage in both height and reach.
 Unless there is a knockout the fight will go IS rounds.

NEW MAT RULES FOR COLLEGE SPORT

Philadelphia, December 13-- The most drastic changes in rules in the history of college and school wrest- ling will go into effect this season, according to w. Austin Bishop, coach of the University of Penn sylvania wrestling team and eastern representative of the advisory rules committee.
 Placing premium on aggressive wrestling and penalties on defen- sive wrestling and stalling tactics, the new rules will make the sport more interesting to spectators and competitors alike, in the opinion of Bishop.
 "The new rules have real teeth in them to punish the passive wrestler and the one who has a tendency to stall," Bishop said yes- terday.
 "The man who fails to show an aggressive spirit on the mat may be disqualified and the match award ed to his opponent. The athlete who displays the type of spirit that we think exemplifieS the best in com petition will be rewarded with points that will have 8 marked bearing on the decision to be rendered at the end of the bout" Bishop said.
 The point system has been incor- porated into the rules for the first time.

ZIVIC AND JENKINS
 MEET NEXT WEEK

New York, Dec. 13-Two world boxing champions who won their crowns this year close out the 1940 season at Madison Square Garden on Friday night when Frit1e zivic, world welterweight titleholder, op- poses Lew Jenkins, world light weight king, in a contest scheduled for ten rounds.
 The match brings together two fighters regarded as the hardest hitters, pound for pound, in the sport. Jenkins certainly is one of the great punchers of recent years. The lanky Texan reached the top of the 135-pound class by bowling over a long list of formidable op- ponents.
 He knocked out Lou Ambers in three rounds to annex the title and in his first defense of the laurels, against Pete Lello a few weeks ego, he flattened the challenger in two heats.
 zivic combined craftiness and clever boxing skill with his punch ing power. He is not so devastating hitter as Jenkins but his record also includes many impressive kayo triumps.
 Fridays battle is being fought at catchweights. with no title involved. zivic has agreed to scale no more than ll3 which will give him a weight advantage of perhaps seven or eight pounds over the lightweight king who figures he will tip the beams at l35 or 136.

the Pinehurst courses, Chapman has never won the North and South. The Masters is a large order.
 But people listen to Chapman now when he announces his plans. It was last winter that he told Pine hurst friends he was going to join the Winged Foot Golf Club in New York, study the course and win the National Amateur in September.
 Chapman, wintering in Florida, will go to Pinehurst early in the spring for his big efforts there and in Augusta.
 Jimmy Thomson, concerned about his short game, spent month at Pinehurst brushing up for the win- ter tour. John Forsman, president of Winged Foot, took motion pie lures of Thomson's swing. There were long night sessions in which Horton Smith and other golflng analysts probed deeply into the Scotsman's methods,
 Jimmy Thomson made adjust ments and shot 68 over the cham pionship course in his farewell.
 Golf is the one game in which the stars jump at the chance to help one another.
