II is our guess that Louis will
hatten Nova inside OF 10 rounds,
butathat prediction is based only
on the actual form, or perform
anCeS of the two men, and takes
no account of the law of average
that is running against Louis.
Putting that in, we would not
be. greatly astonished if Nova
won. From his peak point,
pugilistic champion has but one
way 10 60 and that is down, If
he continues in action. Now
that YOU have our thoughts on
the result of the big prize fight,
permit us to say a few words
about Louis.
THE young men of today who
i view Louis rather casually
will be telling their grandchil-
dren that he was the greatest
heavyweight that ever lived. His
proves that they now take for
granted will expand in pcrSpec-
tive, as is always the case. We
do not have TO wait to address
poSterity on this point
We think right now that LOUIS
Is the greatest heavyweight we
ever saw, and n most remark
able individual generally
He came up out of the Ala-
- Fta1l- ,,ono too NNoll cdtf-
Gated. hut with natural dignity
that he has never lost He has
defended his title oftener than
any heavyweight champion that
ever lived. lie has fought clever
men. fast men, slow men. clowns,
cuties and sluggerS, all types,
and whipped them all. He has
fought black men and white
men.
LIE HAS never lodged meet
IL ing any opponent offered
him has fought on score of
different battle grounds and
never bellttled any man. He has
always freely admitted his own
weaknesses and he has even
recognized the immutable law
we have mentioned.
II amt as good as ! used 10
be-" LothS said not long ago.
I'm slowing up"
Many champions in other
fields often realize the same
thing but rarely does one have
the courage to admit it 10 him
self. much less 10 the public.
Louis spoke without regret. He
us a wise man though he may
lack the educated processes of
thought that makes him wise.
He is a credit TO his race and
up 10 date ne has set a high
mark of craftsmanship for men
Of all races.

U. S. Urged to Fight Now
Or Bow TO Maxi Regime
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

THERE is no denying the gray
i ity of the moment. 1t is
grave for Russia, grave for
Britain, and grave, also, for
Germany.
Again, a decision has to be
taken. 1t has TO be taken by
Britain and by the United
States, for it cannot be taken
by Britain without the United
States.
IIitler's attack on Russia was
launched for military strategy
and fon oil. He could not con-
tinue his war on Britain. riSking
complete American intervention,
with doubtful Russia at his
back, and without the certainty
of fuel supplies for his panzer
divisions. Germany's weak spot
is oil
Hitler undorestimated the re-
sistanGe of Russia. but he knew
that it would be huge, costly
war.
In an about blitzkreig, Ger
many uses 100000 tons Of oil
per month. She can produce
Synthetically from three 10 500
600 tons per month, and from
Rumania and Poland she can
get another 100000 tons per
year. 1t is not nearly enough
for a prolonged war.
4 T THE time Of the collapse
"A of France. she was dcSpcr-
ately short But victory brought
her a great haul of reserves
from the continent-on which
she waged the Balkan campaign
and the war on Russia.
If Germany docs not get
Persian and Russian oil Hitler
can not wage a major campaign
next Spring. If he gets it he
can wage endless campaigns. If
he docs not get il, this war
VIII never touch our shores. If
he gets il. we shall have war in
the western hemisphere and on
all the oceans, and there shall
be a good chance Of our losing it..
HITLER wants to destroy the
H Red army and get 4 sep
arate peace that will put him in
possession Of RuSSia'S oil wells.
Would Russia under any cir
cumstances conclude a separate
peace?
The answer is political as we'll
as military and depends on the
United States Just before the
collapse Of France. Paul Rey-
maud asked for a definite report
on the American situation.
Had he been able 10 assure
his cabinet that the United
States was going TO sec this war
through 10 victory he could
have gotten a majority for con-
tinuing il with the fleet and
from the African colonies.
Today, Russia is in the same
position. If 1t is perfectly GER
tain that the United States is
going 10 sec this war through,
Stain will have every reason TO
hold a front. even if at the UralS,
and Hitler will still have a two
front war. But the Russians
have got a lot Of verbal aid and
not much else. The position of
the United States is still equiv
ocal.
HITLER has reserved freedom
IL of action as far as Russia
IS concerned. When Churchill
and Roosevelt demanded as a
peace aim the destruction Of the
Nazi tyranny, Hitler and Mus
sollni countered with a less UNI
equivocal demand: the de-

Fight Ticket
Scramble On
True New Yorker Pays
10 Be Seen, Not to See
BY DAMON RUNiON

TT IS the immutable law that
i ell champions, all top men in
nearly all fields of human en-
deavor. must one day surrender
their spot, usually to Oh younger
man. Some stick up there longer
than others against the ViclsSl-
tudcs of fortune and the tide Of
time. But in the end all must go.
The above paragraph is a
sneak-up approach 10 discus
sion of the big prize fight next
week in New York City between
Joe Louis and Lou Nova, an
event that has many of the in
mates of the big town half daily
trying 10 get the more expensive
ducatS and feeling greatly in
suited if they are offered any
thing less.
Your true New Yorker is n
curious bra IN this respect. He
wants only the high priced
chairs at any event attracting
great public interest and espe-
cially a prize fight.
We. suspect that if the $3.50
seats were in the back rows and
the So seats down front the New
Yorker would prefer the former
if he thought that was where he
would be minglinG with the &C.
lebriiies. He wants to be seen
rather than TO sec.
THIS situation is quite pleas
L ant to Mr.. Jacobs, the New
York pugilistic promoter, of
course, because it inSureS him an
early advance sale OF sufficient
volume To guarantee him against
possible loss but it becomes
something of a headache in the
late stages of a promotion as
belated customers who think
they belong in the places where
they can he seen, set up a pa
thetic caterwauling in his ears.
Then. too. he has the problem
of moving the lower priced
perches, the filling of which is
as important from the stand
point of profits as the costlier
divans. If only the most eXpen-
sive seats found a market, Mr..
Jacobs could not make a profit
on an event such as the Louis
Nova matter, or at least not
much.
However, let us not pause TO
shed any tears over Mr.. Jacobs
troubles at this time as we have
stalled around long enough as it
is before getting TO the big prize
fight itself.

Defense Authorities
Program
To Control Vice
Buscom Johnson Named
Director Of Legal and
Social Protection

Defense authorities have launched
new program through which they
hope to suppress prostitution near
Army and Navy posts.
At present the program-which
is to be headed by Bascom johnson.
World War major, as director of
legal and social protection
pends on educational promotion and
cooperation of local authorities.
But it was asserted that defense
officials favor passage of a bill sub
mitted to Congress by Representa-
tive May, Democrat. of Kentucky,
that would make prostitution
Federal offense in areas near mill
tary reservations.
The only satisfactory way to ham
die prostitution" declared Charles
P. Taft, associate defense co-ordi-
nator of health and welfare activi-
ties, who announced Mr. Johnsons
appointment yesterday, lis to sup
press it--not to segregate it or tol-
crate it."
Serious complaints regarding
prostitution have been received from
Columbia, S. c., Mr.. Taft said, and
the Governor of South Carolina
aided Army officials after local au-
thorities declined to cooperate to
the extent desired by the Army
This control program does not
indicate that the general situation
is extremely serious" Mr.. Taft said.
But we want to be able to assure
parents that their sons are not 60
ing to walk into dens of iniquity."
Mr.. Johnson, who headed a SINH
lar vice control organization dur
ing the World War, has been asso-
ciate director of the American So
cial Hygiene Association. He ex-
poets to begin operations with a
staff of about u persons and eX-
pand it as necessary. His unit will
not have police powers, he stated,
even if the May bill is passed. En-
forcement of such Federal statute
would be the duty of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, he added.
The new program was worked out
with the approval of the Army,
Navy and United States Public
Health Service. it was said.
During the World War, Mr.. john
son said, prostitution was made a
Federal offense in areas within 10
miles of designated military reSer-
vations. Ten miles would not be
sufficient distance now, he said, be-
cause of automobiles and other
rapid transportation facilities. Areas
should be fixed in each case by
either the War or Navy Depart
ment, according to Mr.. Johnson.

Ringing Will Fight
Payment Of Duties
On Gorilla Toto
Circus Claims Intended
Bride Of Goreontuo Is
Exempt From Customs
b. the Associated Press.

SARASOTA, Fla, March 22.-John
Ringing North said last night Gov
eminent custom claims against
Cuban-imported Toto would be
fought by Ringing Bros. & Barnum
q Bailey Circus on the grounds the
female gorilla was brought to this
country for breeding purposes"
and, therefore, was not subject to
duty.
The circus president said bond
was posted after custom officials at
Tampa technically seized the in
tended bride of Gargantua. Mr..
North said the officials claimed To-
to's correct value was not declared.
On receiving notice of the
Seizure" United States District At
torney Herbert Phillips filed libel
bill in Federal Court in Tampa ask
ing that Toto be attached, forfeited
to the United States of America and
sold by the marshal at public out
cry"
The bill alleged Toto was entered
at Port Everglades, Fla, from
Havana under a declared valuation
of $1,000 and on payment of $3.50
duty, while in truth she is worth
$3.50 and that s1,3l2.50 should have
been paid"
Afterward, Mr.. Phillips said the
circus had put up $3.50 as duty
bond, but that a penalty of rs per
cent of the animals value. or
S6,562 so, was being assessed.
Meanwhile, the female gorilla re-
mained in her conditioned cage
about 10 feet from that of Gargan-
tua. Their cages have been placed
several times to bring them face to
face to get acquainted"
