Conn. Takes LeSnevich In Stride
While Pointing For Louis Match
Pittsburgh Boxer
Would Vacate The
|Light-Heavy Title
BY HARRY GRAYsON
NEA Service Sports Editor

Detroit, June - Comrade Gus
Lesnevich and his handlers tell you
confidentially that the fate which
befell Lou AmberS, joey Archibald
and Ceferino Garcia In recent
weeks Is In store for william Conn
when the handsome Pittsburgh kid
gets into the olympic Stadium ring
here for his twice postponed en-
gagement with the Jersey Russian,
tonight.
They talk as though Billy Conn
had Just tumbled out OF q sick
bed and hadn't fought for ages.
As q matter OF fact Conn has
gone through two strenuous stretch
es Of training since making q show
OF Henry Cooper, tough heavy
weight, at Madison Square Garden
In January.
Each conditioning campaign was
halted - In Miami In February,
and In Detroit In early April - by
an attack OF boils. The irish youth
had % In all before he finally got
them cleared up In Hot Springs.
With the boilS out OF his system
Conn has looked better than ever
In workouts at the Naval Armory
here.
CONN SHOULD REPEAT HIS
VICTORY OVER LESNEVICH
SO can't agree with Comrade
Lesnevich and his managers.
Conn won from Comrade Lesne.
vich rather handily In 10 rounds at
the Garden last November and
should be able TO repeat the perfor.
nance here. The shorter.arm one
time CliffSide Park walter Is an
earnest workman, but Is more or
less tailor-made for the stylist from
the Smoky City.
Conn and johnny Ray, the old
lightweight who guides him, now
view the crop OF boils as bless
Ing inasmuch as the enforced lay
off enabled the youngster 70 put on
weight.
Conn and Ray have never gotten
away from the main idea-to build
the fighting end OF the firm into q
heavyweight.
That Is why they would have
been Just as pleased 10 sacrifice q
$500 forfeit and vacate the light
heavyweight leadership had Conn
been unable 10 get down 10 the
class limit naturally.
For q time II appeared as though
they would have to do Just that, for
Conn scaled as much as 1871 q week
before the match.
JACOBS OFFERS CONN
100000 TO BOX LOUIS
Ray now Is positive Conn will
weigh close 10 1876 pounds In Sep
tember, when he hopes 10 send him
against Joe Louis. Conn has taken
on 40 pounds In q little more than
four years,
Mike Jacobs and Louis want a
Conn-Louis match ~ badly as Conn,
Ray says Jacobs offers Conn a
$2oo,0 900 guarantee 10 box Louis In
the fall.
Conn will DO big enough and at
the right age In september" as
serts Ray. Hell be 23 In October, "
"He could walt another year,
but both Billy and myself believe
hoI DO as good this fall as he ever
will be. Remember that no Is In
his fifth year OF boxing and has
grown through four divisions"
Billy Conn respects Gus Lesre.
vich, but In taking him In stride
with an eye on the main objective
"A shot at Joe Louis.

NEW YORK. -z(FP) = Scoring the
methods Of the Smith committee in
vestigating the NLRB, Merle d. Vim
cent, Washington attorney and local
president of the Natl. Lawyers Guild,
declares in the May issue Of Equality
magazine that probably no congress
sional committee ever before at
tempted such an invasion of the civil
rights of lawful organizations and of
citizens by excursions into fields
wholly unrelated to the purpose for
which the committee was created"
The Smith committee proposed
series of amendments to nullify the
Wagner act and indirectly inspired
the compromise" Norton amend
ments.
"The obvious object of the commit
tees procedure" Vincent charges, "as
disclosed by its report and recon-
mendations, was to complete what the
Liberty League had failed to do, that
is, to discredit the act and defeat its
administration.
'"The committee disregarded most
of the history and records relating
to the most important administrative
acts of the board. The fact that it
