President Batista Organ izes National Commis-
 sion for Athletics
By DILLON GRAHAM

Srcrfs Editcr. AP Feature Service HAVANA, Cuba, March 28 - Cuba is sports-minded country and President Batista wants the youngsters of this island republic to know how to play many games. He has organized a national sports commission with Col. Jaime Marine as director general. Ma rine is former army officer who was Batista's aide when the Presi- dent was a military officer. Now he is Batista's right hand man.
 had chat with Colonel Ma rine the other day and he told me of his sports program. Instructors teach the boys how to play base ball, soccer, tennis, jai alai and how to box and swim and per form in track and field events.
 Any youngster can take this
 training. He just applies and,
 after passing physical exam
 ination, he is issued the neces-
 sary equipment and begins
 training.
 One of the boxing instructors IS Kid Chocolate who was rank ing fighter in America a few years ago. Marine has arranged for a group of Cuban amateurs to go 70 New York and meet the Golden Glove champions. A New York team will come down here for bouts.
 Cuba has had only one world championship fight recently. That was two years ago when Henry Armstrong, then welterweight cham pion. knocked out Bobby Pancho in four rounds. But Marine is ar ranging a championship engage ment between Small Montana, fly weight king, and Luis Castillo, the Mexican champion who defeated Cuba's best here a short while ago. Marine also wants to get Joe Louis down here but hasn't had any luck so far because JoeS prlce IS too high.
 They say baseball is Americas national game. But it is Cubas too. The Cubans go just as wild over the game as Americans do The Brooklyn Dodgers. who are training here, are idolized-but Cubans howled with glee when their all-stars trounced the Brook lyns in the opening exhibition game.
 The Cubans have a winter
 league of four teams. One is
 managed by Mike Gonzales, the
 St. Louis Cardinals coach and
 another by Adolf Luque, one
 time Giant pitcher. Gonzales

team won the championship
 this year. :
 Baseball is played all over the island and the best teams come to Havana for the island cham oionship. Marine h has arranged with the Cincinnati Reds for four Cubans to try out every spring. A committee selects these four lucky youngsters and the sports con- mission pays all their expenses If the Reds like any of them they can have them and farm them out to minor league clubs for season. ing.
 The worlds amateur baseball championship was held here
 last year and six countries, in-
 cluding the United States, sent
 teams. The Cuban team won.
 The championship will be held
 here again next September.
 Marine brought the Cornell Uni versity basketball team down here this year for three games and a Mexican team came over for five games in March.
 Most of the indoor shows are

held in the sports palace. This is on the order of New York's Madi- son Square Garden. Boxing, ten his, basketball and jai alai can be played in the palace. Don Budge and Alice Marble were here a short while ago with their pro- fessional tennis troupe.
 Marine believes the youngsters of Cuba can become as adept at sports as American boys. He wants to train them and send his best to America for there is so much more money for profess sional athletes in the States. Ma rine suggests that Americans keep their eyes on the Cuban newcom- CTS for he thinks some of, them will be among the leaders in all sports before long.

FootbaIIist Howell Runs Up Against Legislative
 Problems Now
By R. HENDRIX CHANDLER
 AP Feature Service

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, March 23-- Law-making and pro -ootball have this much in common-they both involve a lot of tough but interest rousing work.
 Authority: Jim Lee Howell, six foot-four end with the New York football Giants, who is currently serving his freshman term as q member of the Arkansas House of Representative from his home county of Lonoke.
 Although newcomer. Howell has already steered one m easure through the assembly, sports bill extending fishing privileges to the 'poor-man fisherman" The folks back home wanted him to introduce it.
 Mild-mannered and retiring, the 2i5-pcund Giant star prefers to sit quietly at his desk and absorb the technique of more experienced colleagues. He compared his situa- ton with that of the rookie bid- ding for a berth in the Big Time.
 They don't think much of you until you've been around a while he said.
 Takes Some Maneuvering
 Getting bill through the legis- lative mill requires something more than the business of rushing the pigskin downfield to score: In football you can knock the other guy down if he gets in your way, but here you've got to out-marfeu- yer him.
 Toughest work in politics, How ell observed, is the campaigning. He admitted without hesitancy that last summers Democratic primaries in which he squeezed through by 140-vote margin, beat any football training grind. He said that during that campaign stretch lie lost more poundage than in any game last fall.
 Jim Lee got his first taste of politics at the University of Ar kansas where in addition to being a crack football and basketball per- former ne was president of the student pody. {. '
 Easy Campaign
 In that instance, it was sort of wished on him. He was elected to the campus office while he was out of the state with the university cage team competing in the 1885 Olympic tryouts.
 Howell held down an end berth on the aerial Arkansas football teams of 1933-34-35, and was named on both Southwest Conference football and basket ball teams. He joined the Giants in 1887.
 He likes this first taste of the

THE fact IL the people have
not yet made up their minds

That's the word-Strategy.
General Mcclellan thinks he II
