PHILADELPHIA. Feb. Is. =
Guess what? Joe Louis knocked
out Gus Dorazio here last night in
the second round.
1t was the Bomber's fourteenth
defense of the worlds heavyweight
championship. Philadelphia's first
title fight since Tunney beat
Dempsey, and the crowd of 5000
was the largest ever to see an
indoor fight here.
Joe did it this time after l min
ute and 80 seconds of the second
chapter, with simply murderous
little right to the Italians mouth.
Dorazio was rushing him in the
approved squat-tag manner. intro
duced by Arturo Godoy. But he
looked up to take peek at where
he was going, and Joe crushed him
with a straight right that did not
travel foot. yet eellided with
Dorazio's face with neck-breaking
force.

Tolmichs return to the upper

period makes for an interesting Il

faith Tolmich has in his own track

The writer met up with Tolmich
in New York after his MillroSe
failure. That nights experiences
were rare. indeed, for the one
time all-around Wayne University
track star.
BY missing the final he sat out
a deciding race for the first time
in seven years of pounding the
boards. clay and cinders. During
the period Tolmich busted every
indoor high hurdle record in the
books. Some of them still stand,
the others being washed out in
recent weeks by Cyclone Fred

Grand Jury No Final Answer

Pierce county superior court Judges have re-
fused to convene grand jury to consider various
problems posed before the jurists. The four men
of the judiciary hold that the expense involved is
not justified. Further, they insist that whatever
violations of the law may exist it is the duty of the
prosecuting attorney to handle the same The
county attorney meanwhile says that he is ready,
willing and able to act when the facts are put be-
fore him, whether by the sheriffs office private
citizens Which leaves the local law enforcement
situation in the same boat that it has been for
years.
Pierce county's experience with grand juries
has been in years past anything but satisfactory.
Not so long ago there was much scandal about the
actions of certain county officials Special counsel
was employed The grand jury sat and sat for
many, many weeks Indictments were returned.
But the convictions were scarce as hens teeth.
The cleanup effort was fine in its conception, but
the execution of the cleanup was far from satisfy
ing to the taxpayers who had to foot the BILL
Little wonder that the superior court refuses
again to ask taxpayers to foot the bill for session
of airing foibles and complaints that fail to pro-
duce the evidence needed for prosecution and con-
vction of offenders. The judges hold in short that
the officials concerned have all the power needed
to prosecute those who have offended. If there is
lack of harmony and cooperation between the vari-
Gus law enforcement agencies, that is matter
between the elected men charged with the enforce
ment of the law. The judges do not select nor vote
for one official as against another candidate.
Theirs is the task to interpret and lay down the law
when as and if a is presented to them.
Given the facts and circumstances, it appears,
according to the judges, that the law enforcing
agencies of the city and county must do their task
according to the statutes under which they work.
The judges do not feel theirs is an administrative
task. That is for Others In this, the judges are
right. 1t now behooves those entrusted with the
job of administering laws of the state to do their
task as best they can and not pass the buck to
the jursts. The voters cannot justifiably ask any
more of the courts

FARM REVOLUTION
MEANS HEADACHES

The agricultural revolution de-
manded by Claude Wickard as a
Reinforcement of our feed-the-
Allies program threatens to be
painful process for both pro-
ducers and consumers. II por-
tends as great a dislocation OF
our farms as the production of
weapons has caused in our fac
tories.
The secretary of agriculture
has asked a shift from the
growing of surplus crops wheat,
cotton, corn TO planting of food
stuffs likely TO be required by
Britain and domestic consumers
with fatter pocketbooks in the
postwar world. That means
more extensive production of
pork products. dairy goods like
cheese. eggs, milk, vegetables
and fruit.
Except in certain southern and
western areas II is not an easy
matter for an established farm
er 10 make this change. High
costs Of labor and new equip
ment are two realistic factors
operating against it. Should the
demand for these expanded crops
decline after the war through a
drop in domestic purchasing
power and an unwillingness 10
serve as grsnary for foreign
peoples. the farmer will have an
unproductiye plant on his hands.
The boom may burst more eX-
plosively than it did after the
World war.
To induce producers 10 grow
bigger and better crops Of the
night kind. the A.AA. holds out
the temptation Of increasingly
higher prices. That means
more sensational rise IN the ma
uonsl cost Of living than con-
sumers have contemplated. al
though II has been Of no mean
proportions already.

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2

Heart and Home: Although
this is not an important day in
planetary direction. the config-
uration conveys warnings. There
may be much wrong thinking re-
garding both public and private
affairs All family discussions
should be avoided, because
there will be great differences
of opinion, especially regarding
changed social customs. Acct
dents may be more prevalent
than usual under this rule of
the stars. Women past youth
are likely to fall and injuries to
ankles and knees will be numer-
Gus.
Business Affairs: Despite the
spreading restrictions in the use
of gasoline, silk and other things
important in war nerds, there
will be evidence of continuing
prosperity. The inclination TO
spend money freely will be gen.
eral among young folk who
seem to have as their motto.
The best time is now"
National Issues: AS the COL
leges get under way for the
Autumn. educational problems
will continue TO cause heated
disputes. The impression that
in the universities are many
radical thinkers win be widely
accepted. Progressive professors
will be misunderstood by callow
students. The Stars pressge

national conditions on the part

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC.
PEACE URGED

Editor. The Times: Peace
might be brought appreciably
nearer if we would offer to make
certain sacrifices for it.
The time is at hand to begin
an intensive campaign to wean
the German people from Hitler
ism. The Eight Points consti-
tute the foundation for such a
campaign, but only through
sacrifice can they be translated
from abstract principles into
concrete proposals which con-
ceivably might sway the Ger
man public.
The Germans feel they were
tricked into accepting Wilson's
Fourteen Points. We car con-
vince them of our sincerity this
time only by offering to make
definite and substantial sacri-
fees for peace. preferably au-
thorized by congress. such as:
ii Completely reverse our
traditional high tariff policy.
perhaps through an expanded
trade agreements program, so
that Germans and others are
guaranteed a fair share of our
markets. 90 Raise immigration
quotas slightly, as gesture of
good will and an example To less
thickly settled nations. ~ Take

ment designed 10 further inter-
national justice and maintain
law and order-even to the ex-
tent of resisting postwar acts
of revenge upon Germany.
The instant we are ready for
these sacrifices, that fact and
our determination to block Hit
ler's march toward world DOM
ination should be driven home
TO the German people-if neces-
sary by alternating bombs with
pamphlets.
