huge bulbs were still wet and started
popping all over the park when the
heat was generated. More than twenty

before they were turned off and ring

In the main go, Mike Rata, Newell's
sensational l33-pound gunner for the
hyweight title, proved much too tough
for Pewee Jones, Pittsburgh Negro
who was substituted at the last minute
for Billy Bates. A knockout was re-
corded in the second round when
Jones, badly hurt by the hard hitting
Rata, didn't get completely to his feet
at the count Of ten. Jones was down
for a nine-count in the first twice and
once in the second before finally being
counted out.

complishment as conclusive proof of
the practicability of the USHA pro-
gram. He said:
Rentals established for these first
49 projects prove beyond dispute that
the USHA program is accomplishing
its primary purpose of taking low-in-
come families out of slums and pro-
viding them with decent homes at rem
tails they can afford to pay. And it is
doing so at cost to the taxpayer far
below the estimate or expectation of
Congress when the program was au-
thorized.
"These low rentals are the more i'm
pressive because they have been
achieved while using far less than the
maximum subsidy rate allowable un-
der. the United States Hodsing Act
The cost of the subsidy, the only cost
to the taxpayer, has been lowered to a
net monthly figure Of only about Sc
per family"
Twenty-Five USHA-aid projects
are now occupied, Mr.. Straus an
nounced. They will rehouse a total of
1894 families and are already $40
occupied. An additional 10 projects,
with total of 6,126 dwelling units,
are scheduled to be ready for either
full or partial occupancy by July /.
A total of about 4,5OO families, or
about $1,000 persons, it is estimated
will have been removed by July from
Americas slums to safe and sanitary
! low-rent homes since the, first five
projects in the current USHA pro-
gram were opened for occupancy last
July a..
The estimated average income of the
families to be rehoused in the first 49
USHA- projects will be about $782 a
year, or approximately $65 month
The lowest estimated average annual
income is around $470 for tenants in
Daytona Beach, Fla, and the highest
is $1,11O for a project in Yonkers, N
Y. In only four projects it is $500 OF
less.
In this connection, Mr.. Straus point.
ed out that the matter of income is
the only restriction concerning the
tenanting Of USHA-aided public hous.
ing projects imposed by the United
States Housing Act, together with the
basic requirement that these families
be removed from substandard habita
tions. This law, under which the
USHA is limited to making loans ane
grants-in-aid to local housing authori
ties, provides that no family is eli
gible as a tenant whose annual in
come is more than five time the rent
including charges for utilities, or 81,
times where there are three or more
dependents.

ina. The Pittsburgh lad had most of
the class and did a nice job of smear
ing Joe's nose all over his face with
a quick flashing left, but Pohasky had
a pesky habit of laughing and bear

in the fifth round in an attempt for
Knockout and it was Pohasky who
carried the final, but Cregan had built
I'D too nice a lead to have the bout
slip away.
The opener found Tony Franc a VIC
tim of Keith Goodballet's left in the
first round. After carrying the fight
to his lighter opponent for more than
two minutes, the 159-pound McKees
Rock swinger was on the wrong end
of two sledge-hammer lefts which
left him doubled up in pain.
1t was just beginning to look as
though all these stories concerning the
never-failing aim of irate wives with
the rolling pin has been nothing more
than myth and erring husbands have
long been fooled into submission when
up stepped Mrs. Edna Collins of Sc

terrific beating. Mrs. Collins won
her place in the finals by practically
knocking a hole in Oscars chest hel

AIR BASES FOR U. S.

Getting air and naval bases, from
Iceland to the South American
bulge" should have the unified
support of this country. 1t is a
move in the direction we must 60
which is to make our defense indie
pendent of the strength of any ma
ton but our own. The only criti-
cism of it is the inexcusable delay
and lack of foresight in not having
done it long ago.
But what we are giving for them
is something else again. 1t has not
been revealed. Neither have the de-
tails of our defensive deal with Can
ada. Canada is nation at war.
She has gone across the sea to at
tack European power. 1t puts us
in a position of saying to Europe:
American nations can attack you
but if you counterattack them we
will fight you"
Perhaps in view of our geographic
and strategic problem, that can't
be helped But do our Canadian
and British secret understandings
go further? There was some i'm
plication in Mr.. Churchills recent
peroration that they do-British and
American cooperation" in war
rolling along the Old Man River,
which is a symbol for fateful in
evitability-the "fotillas of 1941,"
which sounded like a promise of
American naval intervention.
Mr.. Roosevelt is reported to have
secuted the idea that there is any
thing in the deal for bases about
our detaching a part of our insult
ficient navy-50 destroyers-to fight
on the side of Britain. But things
that Mr.. Roosevelt scouts, like his
third term ambition, have curious
and tortuous way of promptly COM
ing true.
No matter how it may be dis
guised or how warlike lawyers now
split hairs, the detachment of those
destroyers is so clearly direct par
ticipation in this war that two years
ago, examining the question coldly,
there is not an international lawyer
on earth who would not have re-
garded a contrary view as prepos-
ferrous.
From his Chicago Quarantine"
speech to the present moment, there
has not been an act of the Presi-
dent inconsistent with an inference
of his willingness, if not his inten-
ton, to mix this country up in the
wars of both Europe and Asia. On
the contrary, with increasing tempo
and intensity, every act has been
completely consistent with precisely
that aim.
Mr.. Ickes, Mr.. Wallace and others
have emphasized Mr.. Wilkes SEN
dorsement" of ''our foreign policy"
Mr.. Ickes has suggested that this
is like the God-awful 1886 campaign
where there were no issues except
''The New Deal is good but I can
deal it better" The New Deal boys,
hell-bent-for-a-war-crisis-before-No-
vember, had better look that thought
over carefully.
Some of Mr.. WILKES Republican
and Democratic supporters in New
York are also minded to involve us
in foreign war. But most of this
country isn't. Especially that great
stretch of America from the Ale
ghenies west isn't and, as read his
utterances, Mr.. Willkie isn't.

WHAT DO WE DEFEND?

Step by step In the rapidly expand
ing policy of Intervention every
where, our general staff has been
confronted with new and lightning
like changes in policy. There is this
difference between the Harvesting of
Nazi foreign policy with Nazi mill
tary preparation = that Hitler
planned nothing on foreign policy
that his general staff hadn't been
told to prepare in military strength
and wasn't given time to prepare.
In our case, the whole surprising
brainStorm shift in constantly in
creasing foreign policy of threat and
aggression has proceeded with no
regard whatever to our military
preparation to make it good and
with no sufficient allowance of time
and money to do so.
General Marshalrs talk about an
army of 100000 to 100000 men
was wholly based on a new diplo-
matte theory that we are to police
every American country from the
North Pole to Cape Horn. That the
DRY is utterly fantastic and impos-
sible We can't afford it, couldn't
do it and have no business indulg-
ing in any such popular deceitS and
ludicrous international posturing.
1t is about time that this govern
ment settled down and decided eX-
actly what its foreign policy is 60
ing to be and, more precisely, as
controlling that, exactly what pol
icy it can enforce, without absurdity
and possible disaster, within the
realistic and reasonable limits of its
present and Immediately potential
strength of arms and men on land,
sea and in the air.
In that connection, the immediate
controlling nubbin is naval and po-
litical policy in, the Pacific. As be-
tween our necessary defensive pol
icy of remaining dominant on both
American coasts as far as Natal in
Brazil and in addition to that of
maintaining threatening attitude
in Asia, Indo-China and the East
Indies, there is a difference of un-
estimated billions of dollars of eX-
pense and of comparative safety as
contrasted with sprawling all over
the map and constantly risking not
only our prestige but our peace and
even our existence.
This is a question that has been
scarcely even debated. For what
stake, reason or obligation are we
becoming so insecure in the Atlantic
because the bulk of our fleet is in
the Pacific that Mr.. Bullitt can tell
our people that we are in as grave
a danger of invasion as was France
year ago?
The foundation of that part of our
policy should be brought promptly
into discussion and threshed out to
some understandable and defensible
conclusion.
1t is not the business of general
staff to plan policy, let us remember.
