Conn Should Play in Own
Gloss, Nova Contends

what for?" said Mr.. Nova stub
bornly. Louis stiffened Conn. He
washed him up. He proved his
point. He's too big for him. We're
both TOO big for him. Why don t
Conn go somewhere and play and
leave us heavyweights to settle the
heavyweight situation?"
This reasoning, though highly
sound from the point of view of
Mr.. Nova and his immediate rela-
tives will not, of course, make any
impression on Michael Shrewsbury
Jacobs, the duce pronounced
deuce of boxing. Uncle Mike has
three good cards in his hand and
he is going to play them his own
way.
The Louis-Conn-NOva triangle
has a rather odd phase. I think
Louis can lick Conn again; I think
Conn can lick Nova and I'm be-
ginning to suspect that Nova can
lick Louis.
Mind you, none of the characters
In question comedies these points
Conn believes himself to be master
OF the situation. Louis is confident
against anybody. And Nova's con-
tempt for Conn is perfectly genuine

Left One Major Eye
With Bobby Jones

1T is quite true that fitting the
chin slightly backward or 10 tbs
right Gf you are right handed. is
done largely to keep the head in a
fixed position through the swing.
And this is one of the most impor-
tant fundamentals of any swing.
There can be no anchor If the
head is allowed to drift. especially
in the general direction of the line
Of fight.
But I also want to look at the
object I am hitting. This gives
me the chance to keep my major
eye on the ball and so helps to make
things little easier. l suppose if
my right eye wanted to take charge
I'd have harder time keeping nv
chin back and my head still. This
worked the same way for me in
handling gun. After experiment.
ing both ways I discovered I could
shoot better from the left side, with
the gun against my left shoulder.
This gave my stronger eve a bet
| ter chance TO handle the sighting
needed"
In talking this over with a num-
Der OF good hitters in baseball I
f1nd they make greater use out of
the eye that is closer to the action.
Naturally, they call on both eyes,
but a right-handed hitter gets more
use out Of his left eye-and vice
| versa.
Joe Jackson and Babe Ruth, for
two notable examples, stood well
around, with the left side held well
back. In these two cases the right
eye had to do most OF the looking.
Evening star., 1941-06-21
Fighter Has TO Hove
Two Good Eyes

You can prove this by standing
up for a left-handed swing, pushing
the right foot forward, dropping the
left foot back and then closing each
eve in turn. You'll find the vision
of the left eye in this case in well
cut down.
This would be different In a fight.
where punches come from different
directions. Any fighter who has one
eye badly closed would naturally be
under a heavy handicap.
IN golf and baseball the stance
is pretty we'll set in advance. One
blind eye would be of slight handi-
cap to golfer. But attempting to
follow fast punches coming from
two or three directions Is another
and deeper tangle.
Probably the gamest exhibition
ever seen in ring came from Bat
Ting Nelson against Ad Wolgast.
Late in the >~ht, after long string
of rounds, both were badly battered.
Nelson finally had both eyes COM
pletely closed. The fight was
stopped with Nelson cropping for his
opponent in complete darkness.

Odd Results Produced
By Different STYLES

But styles and weights and speed
and power produce different results
each time you combine them differ
emily.
In the ivy-coated big three, Yale
used to whale Princeton in football,
and Princeton whaled Harvard But
Harvard always was very tough for
Yale In tennis. 20 years ago, there
was another overlapping triangle of
the same kind.
Vincent Richards, then a boy
wonder, had Big Bill Tilden's num-
Der. He didn't beat Bill invariably.
but invariably he gave him trouble.
Tilden had little Bill Johnston
under his thumb. He whipped
Johnston at will. But Johnston beat
Richards, the nemesis of Tilden,
with great consistency.
1t was mostly a matter of styles,
and the same explanation applies
to Louis and Conn and Nova-if l
am correct in my devious and cleo
trifying theory (call it Newton S
theory if you want to. I amt proud
that Louis can beat Conn, Conn can
beat Nova and Nova can beat Louis.
Evening star., 1941-06-21
Nova Roted Good Enough
To Give Louis Bottle

BY this theory. Louis hits too
swiftly and murderously for Conn.
A lot of the boys have told you Conn
might have won if he'd boxed and
run in the last three rounds of their
fight. I don't believe it. Conn was
boxing and running when Louis
nailed him with a right in the 18th
round.
1t was Joe's first square hit of the
evening, to the head, and when
Louis really nails you, you don't box
and run any more. You either drop
at once, or you do what Conn did
try desperately to carry the fight
back to Louis. Conn was nailed and
cornered, and he fought back brave
ly, but unavoidably.
Now, although Louis will knock
out the, Conns when he hits them
cleanly, the Novas are different
family. I doubt whether Nova is
fast enough to stop or catch Conn.
On the other hand, I think Nova
can take Louis best punch-the best
punch of the Louis of 1941. Nova is
strong as BULL burning with ambi-
ton, great absorber, and just
skillful enough to stab Louis, to cut
him, to hurt him, and perhaps to
stop him.
Time will tell whether your cor
respondent has been out in the sun
too long without a hat. I wouldn't
be surprised If he has.

Substitutes Developed
For Defense Metals

NEW YORK, March 24-The
trend to develop substitutes for
metals vital to national defense has
already started, an announcement
by Reynolds Metals Corp. revealed
today.
Federal restrictions on supplies
of aluminium have virtually barred
its use in consumer industries. The
Reynolds company has developed a
new product, termed plastic fin
ish, to replace the aluminium foil
used in making containers.
The company said that although
the product now costs more than
aluminium, it was expected the price
would eventually be cut to a level
close to aluminium.

Hoover Plan 10 Feed
Europe Assai|ed
And Defended
Hitler Must Have Used
Hypnotism, Rex Stout
Says in Air Forum

Herbert Hoover's proposal to feed
German dominated nations in
Europe was assailed as a plan pro-
NOTED by Hitler's hypnotic influence
and defended as a humanitarian
suggestion by speakers on the Amer
ican Forum of the Air last night
Rex Stout, author, addressing the
forums national radio audience from
the Willard Hotel over facilities of
VOL, asserted that:
The most impelling reason why
Britain declines to open the blockade
for shipment of food is the over
whelming evidence accumulated dur
ing the past 20 years that in the last
war the food sent to Belgium was of
enormous advantage to Germany
That is a known fact-and Mr.
Hoover still denies it. He must be, l
suppose, hypnotized."
George E. Sokolsky, newspaper
columniSt and magazine writer,
charged that Mr. Stout's statements
about Mr.. Hoover were unfair. He
maintained that the feeding plan
was practical measure in wartime
and urged that it be tried on an
experimental basis
Senator Johnson. Democrat, of
Colorado declared we do not eX-
pect Hitler to have any humani-
tartan instincts. but we do expect
Britain to assume her responsible
ity."
Referring TO President Roosevelt
as the worlds foremost humani-
tartan, the Senator added: He will
give Britain everything she needs
to defend herself = = and he will
also see to it that Britain's friends
and neighborS. crushed under the
heel of Hitler that cruel despot, will
get bread"
Supporting Mr.. Stout. DR.. William
Agar, Columbia University scientist,
said if Belgium and Holland are fed
under the Hoover plan the prospects
of feeding Nazi-conquered Europe
would be unlimited
I'VE now face revolution de-
signed to destroy our civilization
and return the world to slavery"
he said. I'VE dare not make that
revolution succeed"

Navy Given Command
Of Coast Guard by
Presidential Order
290 Ships, 50 AirpIones,
1,707 Officers, 1897
Men Transferred
Dy the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Coast Guard Joined the Navy
today, making the worlds largest
fleet still larger.
In q surprise move, accompanied
by no explanation, President Roose-
welt issued an executive order last
night taking the Coast Guard from
the jurisdiction of the Treasury
Department and placing 1t under the
command Of the Secretary Of the
Navy.
It was the first time since the
World War that the Coast Guard
has been incorporated in the fleet,
and Mr.. Roosevelt acted under q
1915 statute which states that "in
time of war or when the President
shall 50 direct" the Coast Guard is
to become q part of the Navy.
The presidential order, released at
Mr.. Rosevelt's Hyde Park estate,
transfers to the Nays command
29O ships exclusive of picket boats
and other small auxiliaries, so air
planes, 1,707 officers and 21 ,S37 en-
listed men, and about 1000 civilians.
This was the second executive ac-
ton affecting the Coast Guard in
the existing emergency. On May I,
Mr. Roosevelt placed IL sea-going
vessels and the Coast Guards
Hawaiian Department under Navy
orders. The Hawaiian Department
had less than 1 mn men
For some time sea-going Coast
Guard vessels have been working
with the Navy in the defense patrol
Of the North Atlantic. Only recently
the former Coast Guard ship Bear
arrived at Boston with Nazi radio
expedition which was captured while
attempting to setup secret station
in American-protected Greenland.
The Coast Guard rendered yeoman
service as part of the Navy during
the World War, and sustained the
heaviest losses Of any part of the
fleet.
Under command Of the Navy, it
was understood that the Coast
Guard would continue much Of its
peacetime work such as harbor
patrol. rescue activities, lighthouse
operations and aid to navigation.
The emphasis. however, will be on
Naval defense activities.

Nazi Tank Production,
Nelson Declares

The stage in which Hitler was
"outsmarting the United States in
new developments in tanks is passed
and this country now is turning out
mass quantities of bigger. better,
faster and stronger tanks than any
others under the SUM-" Donald M.
Nelson, executive director OF the
Supply Priorities and ALLEGATIONS
Board, asserts in signed article
published today in the American
Magazine.
In his article. entitled You
Haven't Seen Anything Yet" Mr..
Nelson declares that the Nazis soon
must readjust their plans to attempt
to equal or surpaSs armaments pro-
duced in the United States.
And when this happens. he ex-
plains. It will mark the beginning
of the German collapse. since no
nation or group of nations can equal
us when once we bow our necks and
put our backs and our hearts into
our job
He cites, as an example Of Ameri-
can potentialities, the fact that in
October aircraft production was at
least 80 times the output of the same
month two years ago. when 10
planes. mostly commercial, were
turned out. Moreover, he adds, vir-
tually all of the more than 2,100
planes delivered last month were
fighting planes.
But Mr.. Nelson warns that our
production effort is still too slow.
The blame for this slowness must
be shared by industry, labor and
government alike. he says. Industry
for its early apathy, its unwilling
ness to expand to meet the urgent
requirements of war; labor for its
eagerness to grasp opportunity and
its disruption by jurisdictional dis
putes. and government by allowing
some of its agencies to break down
under pressure or to become emascu-
lated by interdepartmental politics.

nesses have been due largely to the
inherent American right of free
thinking and free speaking, which

mately half the number settling in

night on Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,s

cial Studies, who recently completed
a study of refugees under the
auspices Of Columbia University.
In an interview with the Presi-

successful refugee enterprises In
New York City are giving employ
ment directly to 5000 individuals,
two-thirds of whom are Americans,
with each refugee entrepreneur thus
creating a job for approximately
seven American workers"
