Decision After Battle

Vic very start. He rushed in at
the opening of the first round and
let loose a furry of hard lefts and
rights to the head. Lilies covered
up and managed to retaliate to a
smal degree, but Wells was on
tne aggressive. He pounded hard
close IN and came out with a lead
IN points in the first round.
Came the second session and
wells started all over again. He
hit fast and hard at close range
and he finally cornered Lilies in a
neutral corner. A solid right to
the head sent Lilies down and he
remained there for the count.
Observation-Disclosures - This
was the choice battle of the night,
Jesse Butler, ITS, of Lumberton,
was awarded a decision over
John Lassiter, 172, of Roanoke
Rapids, after the two lads had
battled the fastest and hardest
fight of the tournament so far.
Butler came through with the
decision through the leniency of
Referee Kenneth Mann, for the
Lumberton boy had a dislocated
shoulder in the third round and
va forced to back track. Referee
Mann halted the fight momentar-
lily, gave Buffers arm a twist and
then with the crowd roaring for
the fight to continue to sent him
back into the melee.
The judges awarded Lassister
the third round, but gave the de-
cision to the Lumberton boy by
virtue of his points in the first
two heats.
Butler did a bit of rushing in
the opening session. He cuffed with
rights and lefts to the head and
there was a bombshel in each
wallop. L~assister stood off and
pocked his long right into Butler's
face time and again, and once
when the Lumberton lad rushed
in and the two clinched they went
down together in a sprawling hud-
die, only to jump back up and
start swinging hard and heavy.
The Lumperton boxer was the
aggressor until about midway in
the third round, when his Shout
der suddenly flew out of joint.
After the intermission he went
back and cuffed the best way he
could with his right. AS it was
the judges split in the decision.
Two gave the fight to Butler and
one to Lassister.
"HEAvYWEIGHT-Tiny Taylor,
the 220-pound Wilmington champ
of 1910, demonstrated again last
night that he a pack a stiff
whllop in his hefty right hand.
He cuffed Joe Brown. 1875 pounds,
of Wilmington about for three
rounds and came out with a wide
decision in an exhibition bout.
Brown attempted to connect with
his hard right punch but Taylor
covered up too well, tied. up his
best punches and gave him some
hard rights and lefts to the head.
The first and second rounds found
Tiny coming in to land solid rights
to the body and a time or two he
managed to connect with Browns
jaw, but the blows too far
to do much damage.
In the final round, Taylor had

third round found Gaskill trying
to hit in close, but James kept

DEFENSE PARTNERSHIP TO

Of the form of the new organization

that it includes the three elements IN .he

the partners are to have equal voices, ana

Over the partnership the President will

three main objectives, production, pur-
chasing. and priorities, and special SUD-
divisions are to be created for each. Its
decisions do not have to be referred TO
the President, but he necessarily retains
authority to inquire into them when ne
deems necessary and, if he so decides, 10
reverse them. The whole arrangement
involves no new legal powers, for these
are already in the Army and Navy de-
partments, and the form Of the new or
ganiZation is created under the existing
Government reorganization act. The Ma
tional Defense Advisory Commission Will
continue to function in cooperation with
the new four-man board.
AS the old maxim has it, the proof of
a pudding is in the eating. Almost any
form of organization can be made to
mesh, which in the case of human beings
means real unity of purpose, including
means as we'll as ends Only experience
can demonstrate whether the ingredients
of the new defense pudding will bake
into a good dish. The proportions Of
these-to follow the metaphor-are
little unusual, in that decisions of the
board are to be unanimous. To get things
done under this rule will require real
unity ant no little give and take among
the partners. Anyhow, the new form OF

Gradually the Americas are waking up
to the boring -from-within" tactics which
the Nazis are using.
The United States in sending home

Activities quite beyond the duties of con-

Other countries are awakening, too. In
Mexico, a radio station for direct COM
munication with Germany, secreted in
private apartment, was ferreted out, and
in Ell Salvador another. Both countries

To speak the whole thing IN whisper,
a vast annoyance has been growing up for
a long time in the Americas with the AFRO
CANT assumption in the totalitarian coun-
tries that people stemming from their
blood are somehow special, and always
subject to control from back home.
We of the Americas have been tolerant
and patient Now at last we are beginning
to be annoyed.

The spectacle of the Empire de-
Tending itself against a combination
of Powers, and putting out all its
strength in men and money, would be
the most tremendous that the world
has ever seen. But although, doubtless,
we should meet with reverses, for my

as | believe that within year they
would scarcely have ship left between
them, and not much British territory
by way of consolation. One day the
rest of the world, or most of it, sup
pose, will fling itself at the throats OF
America and ourselves. That will be
the day of Armageddon, after which
may come the long peace. But the

FIVE RING CIRCUS OF TRYING
TO HOLD PRICES DOWN

One Of the hardest jobs in a myriad
of hard jobs now being tackled at Wash
ington is Leon Hendersons job of trying
to hold down the level of prices.
1t is especially hard because every step
in that direction is certain to tramp on
somebody's toes. 1t is doubly hard again
because some price rises seem inevitable;
once they occur, they generate others.
The question of (Which came first the
hen or the egg?" is simple beside the ques-
ton "Do wage increases cause prices to
rise, or do rising prices make wage m
creases imperative?" The answer would
seem to be both, and both must be
tackled at once in way that makes the
circus rider daringly riding two gallop-
ing horses look like fireside chairstter.
Of course the whole thing is made treb-
ly difficult because it must be accomp-
lished. so far as possible, without infrlng-
ing on the rights of labor or management,
but through voluntary cooperation. Oth-
erwise there sits right around the corner
flat government control of wages, profits,
and prices.
When Henderson recently asked the
auto industry to reScnd an announced
price advance, that looked tough in view
of recent wage advances of around 10 per
cent throughout the industry. But Hen
derson reasoned this way: 9. price ad-
vances are not justified when profit lev
els are favorable even though some costs
have advanced Moreover, no increases
will be permitted when they merely an
ticipate as yet unrealiZed cost advances"
Henderson then pointed out that the auto
industry is having one of its most prOtlt-
able years, and implied that stockholders,
too, must face down-hOlding. Also, that
the steel industry, which makes less mon
ey than autos, has accepted a price cell
ing. which means that it will have to alb
sorb much Of increased wage costs with
out passing them on to the consumer
Why not autos?
The whole problem of preventing rapid
price Increases, which, II Dig enu-sn,
could merge into an initiation which would
be disastrous to everybody, is an extreme
lily difficult one. There are those who say
it is impossible Perhaps it is impossible
of 100 per cent performance in fact some
prices have risen little already.
But this is certain: unless labor CO.
operates by seeking only such wage in
creases as are necessary to keep abreast
of living conditions, and unless manage
ment co-operates by increasing prices
only when modest and reasonable profits
are actually being eaten up by increased
costs, then there will be only one solu-
Which is what neither
labor, management, nor ownership wants.
