TOKYO, April Five northern fishing sites formerly used by the Japanese Nichiro Marine Industry Company are reported to have gone to Soviet fishermen at an auction at Vladivostok.
 Tokyo newspapers term the re- suits of the bidding as most un- bearable" and said it is expected the Japanese will conduct negotia- tions with the Soviet Government in some appropriate manner.
 The sites mentioned were SUD- posed to be included in the treaty for fishing rights off the Siberian coast and some sources claim terms of the treaty are broken.

Insurance Moi Exempted from Bid-Mine Lease
 Tax Unchanged

Veto of bills which would have amended the Territorial bid law and the mineral tax provisions was announced today by Gov. Ernest Gruening.
 In a veto statement, the Cover nor said he had disapproved the mineral tax bill, written by Rep. Jesse E. Lander of Fairbanks. be- cause of insertion of an alleged tricky joker" by Senator O. D. Cochran of Nome. As originally drafted the bill would have shifted from the lessor to the lessee of productive mines the responsibility of making tax returns and paying taxes due the Territory.
 In the Senate the bill was amend ed on motion of Cochran by the insertion of two words, which pro- vided that the lessee-lessor tax arrangement would apply only to leases hereafter made"
 Called Discriminatory
 "The result" the Governors statement said, "is to nullify the purpose of the bill for all leases now in existence, and, since no emergency clause was attached, for all leases that may be made in the 90 days after the measures becom- ing law. Instead of simplifying the present procedure of tax collecting it would complicate it by making it incumbent on the Treasurer henceforth to verify the date upon which the lease was entered into It would, of course. exempt the overwhelming majority of lessors.

UNITED STATES ARMY
 LIFE UNDERG0E5 BIG
 CHANGE5;MANY TRENDS
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 1. = So rapidly is the United States Army changing that a lot of the old timers have very little jump on some of the trainees.
 Just what are some of the changes?" asked a colonel through whose hands almost all new regu- lations pass.
 Man, man." he exclaimed, q wouldn't know where to start to tell you. There are literally hun dreds of them. Think what hap pens when the cavalry becomes mechanical, when tank corps and parachute corps and ski corps are set up. The widened use of the semi-automatic rifle alone calls for changes in drill regulations, changes in firing range regula- tions."
 The Colonel's right. The further I dug into the changes in our Army, the more complex the story became until it was mass of detail that would have even a straight t-thinking old top sarge dizzy. But without going into all that, these changes seem to fall into various trends and the trends can be demonstrated.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-04-01

WASHINGTON Interesting com- parisons might be drawn from the behavior of the highly cultured, over-civilized Prince Paul, recently forced out of the Regency of Yugo- slavia. and the behavior of the rough. uncultured peasants of Ser tia. In fact, similar. comparisons might be made with France, pos sibly even with other comfort- loving people
 Inside story of Prince Paul was that during the last war he went to England, while Prince Alexander, (later assassinated as King at Mar seilles) struggled with his men over the Albanian Alps on the terrible retreat of 1915.
 During that war Paul was asked many times to come back and don uniform, but he remained in OK ford. He loved music, art, poetry, peace. He hated discomfort. And when Hitler demanded that Yugo- slavia join the Axis, Paul preferred to take a chance on a peacefui 1u- ture even if under Hitler.
 There was nothing corrupt about Prince Paul (though this could not be said of certain Cabinet Minis ters). He merely rebelled against the thought of picking up his gov- ernment and living a hand-to- mouth existence while a temporary capital was set up in the moun- tains of central Serbia or on the plains of Macedonia. According to one diplomatic dispatch, the lack of plumbing in Monastir- where the new capital may be established = was especially repugnant to him.
 On the other hand, Serb peasants knew both hardships, and what it was to fight in the last war. Of all the peoples who suffered from 1914 to 1918, none bled and died for their country more than the Serbs. Exactly one-third of the pop ulation was lost in those, four bloody years.
 And the most significant thing about their decision last week was

MORTALITY PREVAILS

For Instance, the Army, without relaxing it's emphasis on duty and the prompt execution of orders, is probably more informal than it ever has been. There's the matter of the hand salute. A very recent regulation reads: When off duty and when you are not in (mili- tary) camp post or station, the sa- lute is optional unless you are ad- dressed by an officer"
 No more of that jerking to sa- lute every time you pass an officer on the street, unless you just feel that way about it.
 There's another order which it. lustrates this point: During the present emergency tgun) salutes and honors usually rendered Army officials will not be given unless requested by those. officials in ad- vance of their arrival at any camp post or station
 In other words. if the general wants to hear the guns boom in salute on his arrival, he has to ask for it.

Best Eastern Drivers
Would Lower Mark
AT Lanham Tonight
Indianapolis Veteran,
Sectional Champion,
Among New Faces

A bid to break the speed record
at West Lanham Speedway will be
made tonight when a collection Of
some of the best midget auto drivers
in the East get together for another
spin around the banked track.
The weekly program begins at
$50 with several newcomers on the
list of drivers. Among these will be
Henry Banks. one-time big car driv-
er who has raced in the Indianapolis
500-mile classic; Frank Bailey
Eastern big car champion who is
giving the doodlebugS a whlrl this
season and Bill Troutwine, real
veteran of both big and little cars
The West Lanham record was es-
tablished opening night three weeks
ago when Mike Joseph did the 30
lap feature of 7i2 miles in minutes
All seconds. One of the drivers
definitely going after a new mark
will be Bill SCHNEIDER. one-legged
driver who was a favorite at the
old Capitol Speedway here two years
ago a leader at several other Eastern
tracks this season.
SCHNEIDER has been in a West
Lanham race once and then disap-
pointed both himself and the crowd.
His car broke during the semifinal
and he failed TO finish. His bus
has been tuned up again, however,
and he predicts he will do some
real speeding now that he knows

Fat Boy 5ofties Rely
On 5teffes for Part
Of League Title
Chance Of Capitol City
Tie Up to His Hurting
Against Kovokos

One of the Districts best softball
pitchers takes the mound against
one of the hardest hitting tens in
the city tonight at Washington
Softbau Stadium and if pitching
prevails, the first half of the Capt.
tai City League schedule is destined
to end in two-way tie
To date, Kavakos Grill Is leading
the league with record of seven
victories against one defeat. Fat
Boy, its opponent tonight. has won
five and lost two. but is depending
upon Harold Steffes to hurl it into
The thick of the race. If Steffes
wins, Fat Boy can tie for the title
by winning its two remaining games
even should Kavakos take its last
regularly scheduled tilt.
That Steffes has his work cut
out for him is seen in the batting
averages which show Kavokos hit
ting .349 as team. But in a previ-
GUS start against the Grillmen this
year in a Sherwood League game
Steffes held them to one hit. Alto
gether, in four league games. Steffes
is credited with TWO no-hitters zone
perfect game, a one-hitter and a
two-hitter.
Hurting for Kavakos tonight will
be Jack (Cannonball Smith. who
perhaps has the fastest pitch in
town and one of the sharpest-
breaking curves.
The important game is scheduled
to start at 8 o'clock with Evening
Star meeting Lansburgh's in a sec
ond contest at 9:15.

To Revive Sport in Capital

A bid to revive amateur boxing
on a big scale in Washington will
be made tonight at Turner's Arena
with the District A. A. U. sponsor
ing a dozen bouts involving top
ranking amateurs in this sector.
If the program is successful, and
it does have the earmarks of being
good show. the committee in
charge plans to follow with others
of the same caliber during the sum-
mer. Tentative plans call for inter-
city matches between the cream of
Washington leather pushers and
those from other big towns in the
East.
Most Of the youngsters on to-
nights card either are ranking
Golden Gloves or A. A. u. fighters,
but several outsiders stationed at
nearby military posts will be brought
in. Among these are Johnny
Smerick, Air Corps private stationed
at Boiling Field, and Al Edick of
the Coast Guard. Edick is former
st. Mary's Boys Club fighter.
Dick Mullins, 112-pound cham
pion from National Training
School, and Lou Hanbury, jr.,
featherweight champion of Merrick

Victory at Y. N. c. A.

Soldier Howard MacAdoo a Phila-
delphia lad now stationed at Fort
Belvoir, figures to be among the con-
tenders next Monday night when
the Washington Airport meet ushers
in the Capitals summer season of
outdoor competition.
Rated against some of the out
standing Washington and New York
swimmers entered in the meet, Mac
Adoo is a dark horse. but he is far
from out of the running. according
to Coach Jake Hengstler of the host
airport team, for which MacAdoo
will swim.
The 23-year-old soldier won the
220-yard event in the Cherry Bios
som meet at the ~" last spring
beating out Bill Wright 1t was one
of the few times Wright has been
topped in Washington pool. What
he will do at the shorter 60-yard
distance of Mondays meet is un-
known. but Hengstler believes Mac
Adoo has real chance for another
victory.
Whether Wright will be in the
meet is uncertain He currently is in
Michigan and plans to return, but
may not be back in time to COM
pete
Coach Hengstler hoped to get a
line on MacAdoo's outdoor work at
the Arlington championships sched-
uled last week at the Washington
Golf and Country Club pool, but this
meet twice was postponed because
of the weather. He brings pretty
good record with him, having been
something of performer in Phila-
delphia and at Miami University
where he captained the tank team.
He won't be the only Airport entry
next Monday. Among the others
will be Al Subs, Wallace Fletcher,
Bill Stadler and John Stockholm.

Bout With Robinson
Gives Louis Chance
For Fishing, Golf
Minneapolis Exhibition
Only Side Issue With
Heavy Champion
BY the Associated Press.


MINNEAPOLIS. July 8.-Stopping
off for some golf and fishing. Joe
Louis will step into the comparative
privacy of a boxing ring Friday
night to do a number with Jimmy
Robinson.
Burdened with marital and pos
sible draft troubles, the champion
is coming to Minnesota for a short
vacation at the Aquatennial Summer
Carnival. His problems are not ex-
pected to be increased any by the
f1stic date.
The bout is programmed officially
as an exhibition" and the boys will
be wrapped up in big gloves. So Joe
will be able TO eat that chicken
dinner either right before or right
after the date.
The engagement has been steamed
up locally because it will be the
first time Louis eludes his WELL
wishers for a ring joust behind the
protection of three strands of rope
since he lodged defeat and smashed
down Billy Conn.
Furthermore, Robinson is favor
ably known here. He also did a
Billy Conn against Lou Nova, Louis
next opponent, month ago. Rob-
inson socked Lou on the chin, in
the midsection and was leading in
the third round when he forgot to
duck Lous cosmic punch. But that
was with 6-ounce gloves.
Joe has been taking it easy since
the Conn fight; that is, as easy as
possible. what with his wife threat
ening to divorce him and the
Army repeatedly making beckoning
gestures.
He has notified Promoter Tommy
OLoughlin that he would like to
try out some local golf courses, par
ticularly Interlachen, where the
1912 National Open may be played,
and would like to fish for tiger
muskie in Northern lakes.
A few rounds with the carnival
throngs may whet his appetite for
the Northland isolation.

the longest strings were seven
straight victories by the second

But those two streaks are only
part of the story Newark's league

Dream Game Rve Debate Over Glass Of Players Spawned Rival Circuits
.Conn-Farr Bout Here
For British Relief
Planned by A|vis
Promoter Is Confident
Thut Affair Can Be
Staged Next Fall

Promoter Ray Alvis. his connec-
tions with Mike Jacobs definitely
severed, now is striking out on his
own in Washington and announces
plans for fall bout here between
Billy Conn, Joe Louis most recent
victim, and Tommy Farr, British
heavyweight champion who has the
distinction of being one of the few
boxers who has gone Is rounds
against the world champion.
Numerous difficulties, of course,
stand between Avis plans and
actual holding Of the bout, but the
promoter believes these can be over
come. The match would be held
for benefit of the British War Re-
lief Fund and under such auspices
much may be done.
Farr is in England doing home
defense work since being rejected
by the r. A. F. because of faulty
hearing, but Alvis believes that with
the British to benefit from rs per
cent of the profits he will be per-
mitted to come to this country for
series of matches His American
manager. Joe Gould, has given his
okay to the idea, according to Alvis.
I've been working on this thing
for two months" says Alvis, "and
I wouldn't be making my plans pub
lie unless I knew what l was talking
about"
Then there's the problem of get
ting Conn. He is under Mike
Jacobs promotional care and Alvis,
who co-operated with Jacobs in
putting on Buddy Baer and Joe
Louis here, emphasizes that Jacobs
will be connected in no way with
this promotion Conn has been
shouting for another crack at the
champion since his good showing
last month, but he seems defirltely
out of the picture with Lou Nova
signed for the next bout and Jacobs
NAV be inclined to permit him TO
enter outside competition as one
way Of keeping him busy and happy.
