BELL PRIMED FOR KNOCKOUT
 OFLOCAL STAR
States Best w elter. weights at Buckingham
 HaII--Craig, Ellis Encore
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

On the theory that Jimmy Bell. the hard-hitting New Haven negro would give Dick Turcotte of Water bury "the fight of his life" es- pecially since Bell proved himself good enough to stop Doug Marsh of Canada in one round, Waterbury A. c. promoters figure they have the flight of the month" all ready for presentation tonight at Buck inghan hall.
 A Natural"
 They think they have a crowd- pleaser and rightly so, for Bell stopped Marsh, who later outpoint- ed him, and Marsh was the lad who gave Turcotte quite 8 boxing les son not too long ago. Therefore, Bell and Turcotte was the natural" that resulted and the bout is sure to be better one than Marsh and Bell, which drew 1,762 paid fans into the hall two weeks ago. Neither Bell nor Turcotte are defensive fighters or boxers and when the going gets tough they will "slug it out" as such procedure is per- fectly natural for them. Trained to the minute, neither boy has any thought of alibing a loss tonight, and there is every reason to believe the s. R. O. sign may have to be dusted off again by the time they get into the ring.
 Perrin Here Again
 Jack Babian of New York is the middleweight who has been picked to try conclusions with Bristol Billy Perrin, whose fight with New Ha- ven Bill Conklin two weeks ago was much better than the main bout. Since then, Perrin, who came from the verge of a knockout to beat Conklin, scored knockout himself last Monday in Holyoke. It's a six rounder and sure-fire ac- tion, as Babian is vouched for by Doug Marsh, a stablemate. F 5es
 Sammy Craig of Waterbury and Bobby Ellis of New Britain are all set to put on another slambango of the type that had the customers standing up when they last met 1n this city, Ellis winning the nod af' ter the hardest kind of fight from the much improved Craig.
 Tommy Ciarlo, beaten badly when he showed here last, but winner at Holyoke since then, has been named to hook up with Benny Car tegena of New York in 8 six round bout that may be worth while watching, and for the four round appetizer, there is 8 heavyweight duel in which Dula Kovach of Nau- gatuck meets up with Jimmy Collins of New Haven.
 First fight at 8:S0 p. rl., with an- nouncements to be made by Jack Freney, the old Orchard Orator and OrnithologiSt.

TOrringtOn Edged 3O-27 as WaIlen, New Wilby
 Player Looks Good

Strengthened by Wallen, a red- haired youngster who knows what it's all about" Wilby High school baSketeers made it eight n 8 row when they topped Torrington High by a narrow margin 30 to 27 last night at Wilby Gym. Wallen's eight points combined with dozen more by Danny Rosa, Wilby was a little in front most of the way but, as ex- pected Torrington fought 'em for every point, despite a handicapped team which has been without Cap- tain Frankie Samele and another player during recent games. Wallen played his first game for Wilby last night and looks like a possible starter in several of Wilby's future games.
 Torrington started fast, earned a 6-2 lead in short order but Wilby came on fast and was in front at 14-1O half at time and 22-19 with the final quarter to go. Rinaldi and Brickel of Wilby also contributed four valuable hoops while Thorpe was Torrington high scorer with seven points. Summary:

REGRETTABLE, BUT
UNDERSTANDABLE

Before anybody runs a temperature OF
indignation over the action of Mexican
officials in OBTAINING picnickers from this
side of the international border Sunday,
consider the Mexican side of the question.
Imagine, for instance, how quick we in
this country would clamp down on MeXi-
cans who crossed the border to the north
ward in groups-especially if they
brought guns along to indulge IN target
practice.
As nearly as we can figure it out, the
whole thing was a fiaSco of misunder
standing, without any particular fault
attending to anybody involved. 1t was
unfortunate that picnic parties crossed
the international border, without know
ing they had done so. 1t was unfortunate
that the Mexicans walked them five miles
across country before providing motor
lied transportation.
Out of the incident, and the publicity
it received, should come one and possibly
two good results.
Citizens of the United States, picnick-
ing in the southern part of the county,
will undoubtedly be far more careful not
to cross the border in the future.
Additionally, the incident should-and
possibly may-bring about some effec-
tive effort to mark the international
boundary line more clearly in the vicinity
of Mt. Signal, where citizens of both the
United States and Mexico can, without
knowing they have done so, easily cross
the border and violate the laws of the
adjoining country.
But, above all, nationals of both this
country and Mexico should realize that
laws of both countries govern the Off
cials of those countries. If a United
States custom or immigration officer de-
tains a Mexican citizen who has crossed
into this country without authorization,
he is only doing his duty under the law.
If a Mexican official detains citizen of
the United States under similar circum-
stances, he, too, is just doing his duty
under Mexican law.
So let's forgive, forget-and work for
some sort of visible marker on the inter-
national border where it is easily crossed
from either side

Mexico Enters a New Phase

only effective Way-by deserving it.
Avila Camacho takes the reins
of Mexico at a difficult time. He
succeeds a man, Lazaro Cardenas,
who is generally conceded to have
been a great president. Even those
who disagree with his policies do
not minimize his sheer stature. To
be successor to such a man is al
ways difficult.
Avila Camacho's own following
is by no means united. He must re-
store the confidence Of business,
both foreign and domestic, while
guarding the gains made by lahcr
under Cardenas; again, not an easy
task. He must revivify an economy
badly shattered by domestic con-
vulsions and the shutting off of
foreign trade. He must defend his
country against foreign influences
which have net hesitated to intrigue
with his political opponents. He
must settle the long-festering "oil
controversy
In tackling that job, he has the
good will of the administration at
Washington and of the American
people, who are year by year achiev-
ing a greater liking for their
neighbors across the Rio Grande.
In his expressed plan to make
Mexico a more vital link in the
hemisphere system" en- which 81
American republics increasingly pin
their faith, the people of the United
States wish him success and pros
perity.

The Vichy French government (Which
practically means Hitler) has dissolved
both French employer and labor organic
ations. Thus the nazification of the
French goes on.
1t follows a pattern made in Ger
many" Capital loses most of its rights,

ganda and DEGREES.

ing drained away.
If Hitler has his way, if he is not de-
feated, the French will be reduced to a
slave nation Some Frenchmen know
this. De Gaulle and his eXiled free

Gen. Weygand's mysterious reluctance to
return to France from French Africa
mean that he, too, knows it?

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 10.-Suple-
mentary reports: If anybody has
been wondering about the moom-
pitcher progress of Slash Clements
the Brooklyn urchin with the gal
vanized gall, I'm happy to report
that he's doing fine and probably
will end up as a producer if he
sticks around
Slash has grown so fond of most
members of the cast and crew of

he doesn't cheat 'em at checkers
any more-not even the mainten-
ance of his claim to the title of
champeen of williamsburg and Cul-
yer City. And although he still
won't confess any special thrill in
being a movie actor, there are in
dications Slash is relishing his job
Only players of some importance
are assigned stand-ins. and young
Mr.. Clements has one whom he
regards with suspicion and resent
ment. At first he figured the stand
in was an understudy who some
how might supplant him.. You
can fire dat kid he told the direc-
tor. Il aint gonta get sick or muff
my lines or nuttin'."
Even after they explained how
stand-ins are used, Slash remained
skeptical. TIE considers it hs duty
and privilege to spend all the time
possible on the set under the lights.
whether the camera is grinding or
not.
One courtesy he does enjoy is
being brought to work every dav
lin a studio limousine. This is done
for economy, because Slash began
going to the set and hour or twD
early each day. When rules gov
erning hours and overtime were
adopted in Hollywood, nobody even
considered the possibility of an ac-
tor for getting set ahead of time.
But Slash had been wangling a
tidy bonus by punching the clock
particularly at the crack of ddarwn.

After all I've seen of w. c. Fields,
I've only now got around to finding
out about his peculiar footwear
the buttoned shoes with no heels.
He says he began wearing them
when he was a juggler, for better
balance and because he sometimes
caught a trouser cuff on a heel
when he did the trick of tossing
balls under raised knee.

sible for Fields duck-Waddle. He

IT'S TIME FOR
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Time to light up your home!
The annual PoSt-Press drive for Christ
mas lighting is under way, with the ex-
perience of past years guiding home own
ers, tenants and others toward bigger,
better, more attractive displays that will
make Ell Centre the center of Christmas
interest in Imperial Valley.
Every light put up outdoors in the next
few days will help, whether it is a single
globe over the doorway or an elaborate
decoration picturing traditional Yuletide
scenes. Every section of the city can do
its part in this Christmas lighting cam
paign, that has become so much part of
Christmas observance here.
People will come from all over the val
ley in the days between now and Christ
mas to see the lighted residential sections
of Ell Centro. Visitors from outside the
valley, passing through, will be impressed
by the completeness Of the city's effort
to herald Christmas amid a blaze of
lights
Don't let your neighbor carry the whole
load. Put UP your own lights, even
though only tiny string of them. Help
make this Christmas of light for Ell
Centric
The Star of bethlehem guided the wise
men in a blaze of light to the infant
Jesus cradle. El Centre can do no more
than observe this holiest of all holidays
with lights which show that His spirit is
not dead.

THE RED LANE
(Redlands FactS)

(RedlandS FactS)
Redlands lays claim to being the first
city to use the white line to create lanes
of traffic on the highway. City Engin-
eer George Hinckley introduced the idea
in 1910. Since then various devices to
separate lines of traffic have been used,
such as painted stripes, garden strips,
and curbing.
On a long hill outside Nashville, Tenn,
third Lane of red concrete for slow traf-
fic has been constructed. This provides
an open road for fast cars. The third
lane allows trucks to take their time
climbing the hill, while light ears have
a clear twO-lane road for extra speed and
safety.
The red concrete road for slow traffic
is something that has drawn comment
from the American Public Works asso-
citation in a report recently issued Since
the road is a series of curves limiting
sight distance, it was apparent that fast
traffic would pile up behind slow-moving
vehicles, which in turn would lead to ac-
cidents caused by impatient drivers at
tempting to pull around trucks in the
face of downgrade traffic
The problem of keeping the slow traf-
fic in a single lane was solved by con-
structing the lane of concrete colored
red with iron ovide.

The complete calm and lack OF
disturbance with which Manuel
Avila Camacho was inaugurated as
Mexico's new president may prove
TO be a happy augury for his six
year term. The United States,
whose chief interest lies in a Mexi-
co steadily progressing under sta
BILE Institutions, hopes it may be SO.
The rude and unpleasant demon
stration staged for Secretary Wal
lace on his arrival TO attend the
Inauguration need not be taken too
seriously. The sheer. fruitless bad
taste of the affair pretty well iden-
titles it with one of those political
minorities whose sole influence lies
In such demonstrations. There is
no reason TO doubt that Wallace S
warm reception later by the Cham
ber of Deputies is much more repre-
sentative of a growing cordiality
toward the United States, which
the Avila Camacho regime is pledg-
ed to foster.
The United States has been most
patient and sympathetic toward
Mexico in the past few years. That
is partly due to a genuinely in
creasing goodwill and understand
ing, and partly due. frankly, to
the knowledge that Mexican good
will is more important TO the Unit
