thing about victory. He had more

to Jack johnson at Reno in 1910

a five-year layoff.

Jeffries SHES away from attempt
ing to compare Joe Louis, the pres

greats.
Louis has never been thoroughly
tested. He has no competition. Yes,
I think Dempsey would have beaten
Joe, because Jack could hit just as
hard and liked the rough going.
But how can anybody tell? Louis
may be the greatest Of them all, but
I doubt it."
Jeffries says Louis has been

little chance of anybody beating him

David's bigness and confidence and

True Spirit Of Wifehood.
In one of Dickens stories there Is
an incident Of . country farmer and
his lass, who come to the bureau
for a wedding license. The man
cannot write and so makes his
mark; the girl makes her own mark
beside his. Later some friend re-
proaches her, reminding her that she

the wife-to-be, "but the dear good

That Is the spirit of wifehood.

Tom Corcoran is famous for many
things, one of them being his lack
of punctuality. Always rushed with
innumerable jobs, he got hours be-

his favorite time for catching up

afternoon and night.
Corcoran's first-born daughter ar

NEW .AAA WAR

The Agricultural Adjustment ad-
ministration, has long rocked by
backstage rowing. This years is the
fourth since the AAA was created in
1893.
AAAdministrator Rudolph M. Ev-
ans plus certain aides have been
accused of being in opposition to
Secretary Claude Wickard's an
nounced policy of increasing federal
aid to small, under-privileged farm
ers and tenants.
Evans has never enthused over
such program. He has consistent
ly preached that the way to achieve
higher commodity prices was
through government loans and AAA
benefit payments-a system that has
netted handsome dividends TO large
commercial farm operators but has
reduced few mortgages for the lit
tie fellow.
Before Evans, there were the ex-
plosive George Peek, first AAA boss,
who departed in 1884; Chester Da-
Wis, who rowed with Wallace; and
Howard r. Tolley, Evans immedi-
ate predecessor, who was shifted to
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les. All were "liquidated" follow

From the point Of view of the

After his talk with Hull, Halifax in

reception room, where with his one

he Lit cigarette and answered ques-
lions with a deep voice and a wan
smile.
Oddly at this conference was the
presence Of the German newsman,
Kurt Sell, correspondent for the Of

busily took notes while Halifax was
saying, when the history of this
war comes to be written, it will say
that Hitler lost the war in June of

PERKINS VS.. EVANS

49, ~ "Aho Ci hHiS, aggressive CTleI
of the surplus marketing administra-
ton, have been cunning for Evans
scalp ever since the European war
shut off cotton and wheat export
markets, thus aggravating the eco
nomic plight of small farmers who
make their entire livelihood from
these crops.
Perkins wants to meet the loss of
foreign markets by less emphasis on
cash income"-the guide-rule of
big, commercial farmers - and
greater emphasis on the food stamp
plan for disposal of SURPRISES at
home. His group contends that small
growers should be made more self
sustaining by less crop control, and
by more diversified farming for do
mestic consumption.
Evans looks coldly upon any de-
parture from the leash income"
principle as rank heresy, and views
the food stamp program as q de-
terrent on farm prices, rather than
q benefit to needy in the cities and
q way to dispose of SURPRISES on
the farm.
That Perkins program stands
high in the favor of Wickard was
shown when the latter publicly ad-
vocated the policy, as soon as he
was sure he would remain as sec
rotary OF agriculture.
