CAGERS CLASH
Baer, GaIenfo
Bout Off as
Tony BaIks

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (UP)-
Miami and Detroit have moved in
on the current boom in the beak-
pushing business. The Florida met
ropoliS will stage a light heavy
weight title tilt In late February,
and three important" bouts are
slated for the automobile CITY in
the month of March.
Handsome Billy Conn. the rings
glamour boy, will defend his light
heavy diadem in a return bout
with Gus Lesnevich, muffin-faced
New Jersey battler, at the Miami
Orange bowl during the last week
III February Promoter Mike Jacobs
arranged this bout yesterday for the
presidents infantile paralysis fund.
Jacobs made this Conn-Lesne-
vich match for Miami, after Tony
Galento announced that he could
not get into shape for q heavy
weight braWl with Maxic Baer for
at least two months. Fat Tony has
Mt fought since knocking out Lou
Nova in September. Jacobs was all
set to stage the Galento-Baer bout
in Miami, and he was very angry
when Galento made his out-of con-
dition announcement.
Promoter Mike said. why didn't
Galento and his manager. Joe
Jacobs, notify me about TonyS CON
dition before thiS-before VIC had all
the trouble with the New York COM
mission about Joe getting man
ayers license? Az far a5 I'm con
cerned the Cialento-B Baer fight is
definitely off. I'm sick of monkey
ing around with it."
| Meanwhile Promoter Mike an
nounced also that the Conn-Lesne-
vich winner at Miami will defend
the light heavy crown at Detroit in
| late March against the winner of
the Fred Apostoli-Melio Bettina re-
turn Is round bout, slated for Mad
| ison Square Garden on Feb. 2. This
title bout will be held in the Olym-
pic arena or State Fair arena at
Detroit.
Uncle" Mike said he would stage
another important" fight at De-
troit in early March, but declined
to discuss the probable opponent.
Some observers believe that Joe
Louis will make a title defense in
| his home town i'm this Detroit mys-
terry match. A third Detroit match
was announced last week by Jack
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, who are
promoting the Bob Pastor-Red

Editors note: The current crisis
in Japanese American relations,
which some observers fear may lead
to war between tne grea. Pacific
ocean powers, is reviewed i'm the
following dispatch by Miles w.
Vaughn, who was Far East man
agcr for the United Press from 1924
to 1884 with headquarters in Tokyo
and Shanghai.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
NEW YORK. Oct. 8 CUP) - De-
velopments Of the past fortnight
have brought JapaneseAmerican re-
lationS to probably the most acute
crisis in the history of these two
nations.
The seriousness of the situation
is demonstrated by the state de-
partment's action in advising A
mericans to leave Japanese -domi-
mated areas of the Far East.
Many Japanese fear virtually
complete severance IN economic re-
lations between Japan ard the
United States in the near future
and do not rule out the possibility
that the United States will attempt
a long-range blockade of Japan,
Manchukuo and the Japanese
dominated areas of China.
II such a blockade is attempted
they assert, Japan may retaliate
by blockading Singapore, the Ne
therlands Indies and possibly the
Philippines.
A section of American opinion,
chiefly those who have favored an
aggressive policy to restrain Japan
in China. long has advocated the
long range blockade theory, argu-
ing that such an effort would
strangle Japan economically and
force her to abandon her whole ef
fort to create "a new order in East
Asia"
The japanese assert that a long
range blockade could not possibly
be effective. They argue that the
United States navy is not large
enough to cut off all of Japan's
many and Italy and the United
led areas of the Far East are self
sufficient in food and many class
es of raw materials. and that such
an American action merely would
result in drawing both Japan ara
the United States into the world
War-Japan on the side of Ger
many and Italy and theUnited
States on the side OF Britain.
Most Japanese now appear to be-
lieve that Germany and Italy will
win at least a partial victory in the
war, and hence that it is in ia

PHOENIX, Oct. 9. CUP)-Col. c..
M. Rutherford, civilian aide to the

only of universal military training,
but the beginning of universal train

what Russia will do in the face
of imperding developments still is
a mystery. Students of Asiatic af-
fairs see Moscow as confronted
with two possible courses:
/. To lend at least passive sup

Berlin, it is known, has been active
for more than a year in attempt

2. To continue her present policy
of non-involvement in the spread

financial, economic and military as
sistance to the Chungking govern
ment of China.
Those who believe that Russia
will throw her weight with the axis
powers argue that the USSR now
is virtually at the mercy of these
nations. Japan is in a position to
attack Russia Immediately in ST.
IBERIA with her powerful Kwantung
army, which could seize Vladivo-
stok and the Pacific Maritime Prov
inces while Germany, which has
ample forces for an offensive on
the European front, could strike at
once at the Ukraine.

indication that the United States
could depend upon effective Rus
sian support if this country were

The British are to get an eX-

1t was estimated that the COM

The plane is equipped with a 81

Conscript Program
In Full Swing as
Defense Act 0K'ed

WASHINGTON Oct. 9, eUP) -
A stroke of the presidential pen
late yesterday released funds to fl
nance a conscript-national guard
army of more that 100000 men
and completed the mightiest de-
tense appropriation program ever
undertaken by congress in peace
time.
The final" defense appropria-
ton bill carries S1.482 ,000. 900 in
cash and contract authorizations.
1t boosts to $12,580 100000 the total
army-navy outlay voted by this
session of congress. This figure does
not include the two-ocean navy
program which ultimately will cost
34,000000 the program to add
200 warships TO the fleet has been
authorized but only Sl48,000,000
has been appropriated to start it.
While President Roosevelt was
signing the appropriation bill, Sc
lective service officials and congress
acted on two important phases of
the preparedness program.
Congress approved and sent to
the White House measure carry
ing $50, 100000 in cash and contract
authorizations to construct dwelling
units for civilian defense workers.
The action brought to S300,000,000
the total provided for defense hous-
ing. Such housing needs have been
estimated at 1886 units.

today he said.
I'VE are not at war now and it
seems highly improbable that we
will be at all soon, so that we can
and we should take time to see that
the training is not merely how to
execute military maneuvers and
handle a gun, but training for life
and living" he declared.
Rutherford endorsed an educa-
tional plan for the conscript army
advocated by DR.. John Erskine,
prominent American educator and
chairman of the army educational
commission that functioned at the
close of the World war.
Erskine proposed that conscripts
spend the first six months of the
year in training in military pro-
cedures and physical development
and that during the second half Of
the year at least half of the time
be spent in study.

He made this pledge early today

Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-09

Erskine proposed courses be given
in agriculture, business, industry
and art, and in other trades and
professions, to help the conscripts
when they emerge from the army.
The education could be provided
cheaply, he said.
Colonel Rutherford concurred with
Erskine in the statement "It (educa-
ton during military training) is the
great opportunity of our generation.
We must not let it pass
