Discussion continues over Secre-
tary Knox's revelation that an
American naval vessel dropped a
depth bomb as a warning to a sub
marine which was approaching a
rescue operation. Although the
isolationists have been bitter in
their criticism of this action, the
majority of officials here have
philOsophically accepted such &C
ton as not being an act of war but
merely one of enforcing our right
OF freedom of the seas and our
right to fight piracy" on the
high seas.
Informed circles point out that
the President, in several speeches,
has referred to German actions on
the seas as piracy" and point out
that this government, throughout
its history, has fought pirates who
have interfered with the activities
of it's merchant marine. They say
that international law can right
fully be interpreted to make Ger
man raiders and submarines fit
the definition of pirate"
This Interpretation, although not
expressed in 80 many word by
tinued determination to justify all
the President, indicates his con-
steps which he takes toward in
yolvement in the war in the light
of our not being a belligerent.

produce about 100000 pounds of
aluminium to ease the shortage of

Aluminium, however, will contin-

defense pSoduction, for in addition
to raw material, tremendous
amount of electrical power is need
ed to break the ore down into
usable form. New dams to produce
power are to be built in the Ten
nessee valley, but to supply the
power needed while they are being
built may be severe tax on the
power facilities of the nation.

WEATHER predictable
l have always felt very sorry for
the weather man.
He probably can put up with the
name-calling letters which he re-
ceives from irate picnickers when
he predicts sun and they get rain,
but it's among his own family and
friends that I've pictured him be-
ing in constant hot water and the
butt of unceasing ridicule.
My sympathy for the weather
man however was based on the
belief that he is wrong a large
percentage of the time. A review
of the accuracy of his reports
shows quite the contrary to be
true. During the last year he was
right in his predictions between
IS and 80 per cent of the time.
So instead of being an unhappy
fellow, actually he Is probably
quite proud of himself. For each
day that he opens himself to heck
ling by his friends, there are nine
days in which he can say, Il told
you sO!" And most of us consider

If he can be right 80 per cent Of

In this country. He has saved hun

on hurricanes and by tracing the
movements of floods and blizzards,

PATRIOTISM AROUSED

The rededcaton of this nation to liberty carried
out the Fourth of July believed to have done more
toward uniting people than anything that has been
attempted since the war in Europe started.
On the afternoon of the Fourth when the strains OF
the StarSpangled Banner heard throughout all the
land at the moment, being played by town bands
and orchestras we'll every radio station, Amer
canism seemed to bloom it had boomed before
Our national anthem once again proved its power
to inspire love of country, to make fairly tngle
with patriotism and to make all of petty problems
to melt away in the face of major task of safe
guarding everything that the America stands for
When patriotism can be aroused to such a pitch
it in millions of homes the Fourth of July is
evident that most of harbor hidden longing for
opportunities for such expression of our emotions.
For years, in this country, opportunities to express

favorite topic of conversation.
Most of us get the feeling that
there are drastic weather changes
taking place in this country. We
think the summers are warmer or
colder than they used to be. or
there is more rain or less rain than
in the past.
Actually, according to the statis-
Tics recorded by the weather bu-
reau, which seem to contradict
most any weather argument we
may think up, there has been very
little variation in either precipita-
ton or temperature, over a period
OF year, during this century.
In the New York vicinity for in
stance, the average annual temper
ature has ranged from a low of
1913 in 1917 to a high of SAC in
1921.
AS for precipitation, the range
mas been little greater, but it
doesn't stay away from the aver
age for long. For 40 years the
average precipitation has been A.
10 inches and in 1888 it was a
slightly above and in 1889 slightly
below the average.
There is, of course, a great diff
ference between average tempera-
'ule and average rainfall in differ.
eht sections of this country.
In summer, temperatures don't
vary as greatly between different
states, the warmest state for I,lv
oeing Arizona with an average
temperature of 80, and the coolest
oeing the San Francisco section of
CaiiIornla with an average fem
perature of 58. In San Francisco

Ihere are still plenty of old-tim-
ers In the East who talk about the
Diizzards OF '88 as a snowstorm
the like OF which has never been
seen before or since. They'll argue
until they're blue in the face that
that snowstorms holds all the rec
ords, although for 4S years the
U. S. weather bureau has calmly
reported more snow fell in "a hours
only five years later, in February.
1893.
In all sections of the country we
near stories of record snowfalls but
less about record rainfalls. Rain
records are usually based on the
number Of days it rained in a row
that figure having been interest
ing to many people ever since the
~ days OF rain reported In the
Noah's Ark story in the Bible.
Ihere is one rain record which
stands out, however. That's the
one which took place in the San
Gabriel mountains in California on
April 5, 1926, when 1.O3 inches of
rain, equivalent to 116 tons of wa
ter per acre, fell in period of one
minute! That's more rain than we
get in many states in an average
month and it all fell in go sesonds.
II it had been snow instead of rain
1t would have equalled over 10
inches in that minute, for in water
content 10 inches of snow equals
one OF rain. There is little chance
that any rain record ever will
equal that one.

WASHINGTON

Washington, d. c. (NWNS) -
A ction to make drastic changes in
the selective service law, which
was passed less than a year ago,
had made most of official Wash
ington extremely conscious of the
temporary, make-shift nature of
Legislation which is passed with
the defense" tag on it. Whereas
legislation has previously been
considered a statement of perman-
ent government policy, even the
public Is now well aware of the
fact that law passed today may
be revised tomorrow as our posi-.
ton in the world situation
changes.
Conservative congressman, par
ticularly among the non-interven-
ZIONIST group, are showing more
and more opposition to altering
legislation to fit the immediate
situation. Although they realize
that the times call for emergency
policies, they show through their
statements and votes that they
want a more or less permanent
policy and object to constant re-
modelling which always draws us
closer to war.
In response to the administra-
ton request for the passage Of
resolutions to keep selectees in
training for more than a year,
Senator George, chairman OF the
foreign relations committee, thus
suggested that the law be left
alone and that the men in camps
| be asked to volunteer for longer
service instead of making it COM
pulsory. He indicated his belief
that enough would stay in the
army through that method to
make the passage of compulsory
law unnecessary.
The greatest opposition, how.
ever, is to the resolution which
would give the President the right
to use the services of selectees
anywhere in the world. Senator
Reynolds, chairman of the senate
military affairs committee, said
passage of such legislation would
virtually give the President the
right to declare war and because
of this he called for full public
hearings and complete investiga
ton on the floor of the senate.
Congress continues to be strong
ly divided in the stand of its mem
bers on our involvement in the wal
but is almost unanimous in Its
willingness to take every step pos
Isible for our defense. Thus, while
Legislation regarding the service OF
selectees in foreign lands is bit
terly debated, the Presidents re
quest for an additional $4,770,055,
5SS for the army and 100000
for the navy Is expected to be
granted without discussion. The
Presidents request indicates that
during the new fiscal year, which
began July 1, requests for funds
will be on a larger scale than In
1910 and that there is no limit ye'
in view on the cost of our defense
program.

formal authority to use troops te

Taub Honest

If certain citizens are deliberately
trying to rob Champion Joe Louis of
a good referee and an honest fight re-
porter we should know more about it.
Sam Taub and Bill Stern are honest
reporters. They have none of the
faults which caused Glenn Mccarthy to
be pulled off the air. Perhaps Clem will
be returned to the air next week. Even
MacNamee is better.
The issue of the radio announcer ap-
pears more important to me than the
referee who, after all, will be sur
rounded by the good citizens of Harlem
who reside around the Polo Grounds.
Harlem will stand no nonsense, and
Harlem will be alive next Wednesday
night. 1t will be very unfortunate
if a new referee makes a mistake"
that costs Louis his crown. This is no
time for newcomers at all. But you
can't tell the fight mosuls anything.
Billy Conn would hardly knock Louis
through any ropes or anywhere else,
thus, Art Donavan wouldn't have a
chance to favor Conn next week.
And how come the challenger can
give orders anyway?

A LOUIS LOSS

If reports are true that Art Dona-
van, experienced and unprejudiced
referee, plus Sam Taub, expert and
candid boxing radio announcer, have
both been quietly "fired" from the
scene of the Louis-Conn battle next
Wednesday, it is only fair that boxing
fans be given the advance story.
That Referee Art Donavan has al
ways given colored boxers a square
deal is history. If Donavan is "fred"
it allegedly will be because he stood up
for Louis in the contest that was fool
ishly made with Buddy Baer at Wash
ington. Similar is the story of likeable
Sam Taub who has always reported
fairly the activity of colored, especi-
ally Joe Louis. When Ancil Hoffman
tried to "smear" Louis after the Baer
fight, Sam shut Hoffman up, saying
"Yours is only one mans opinion"
For this, Sam Taub has allegedly

condition may combine to heighten
both the hysteria and betting before
next Wednesday rolls around.
BOMBER SHOULD WIN
Louis, heavyweight champion since
1887 and generally rated the peer of all
lighters of his present day class, is
overwhelmingly the superior puncher
in next weeks battle. He's the one
and only Bomber.
Conn, clean cut and fast boxing
Irish-American with plenty of courage.
considerable ring skill and crowd
pleasing personality, will rely on hopes
for 15-round decision. He has many
supporters.
Regardless as to the outcome of the
contest next week, it is viewed by
many as the last major heavyweight
contest of the year unless the tides of
present conditions return somewheres
back to normal

Dempsey Weakens

Sentiment got the best of Ja,t
Dempsey when he recently came ont
in favor of Joe Louis over Billy Conn
I don't mean racial sentiment but nm
fessional sentiment. This goes beyond
race, creed, or color.
Dempsey, in his prime, was the same
type of murderous puncher as is the
Brown Bomber. Both are rated The
hardest punchers the game ever knew
and they are in an exclusive class Of
superior sluggers, brothers under the
skin and all that. Dempsey may some
times criticise Joe but deep under
meath he admires that same hitting
power that made Jack himself cham,
pion. And Dempsey also very much
dislikes "boxers" ever since Tunney
gave him the works. You can read
between the lines in Liberty that
Dempsey isn't overfond of boxers
Jack likes his sluggers and so Dempsey
has picked Louis.
Nevertheless the winner of next
weeks contest cannot be picked on
paper and Dempsey and lot Of other
experts might be wrong.
