GUEST COLUMN
Editors Note: This is the
third in a series of guest col
umns. The contributor this
week is one of Bob Worth's old
school friends-Bob Mcdaniel.
Wit is the flower of magma
tion and Bob Mcdaniel constant
ly keeps this type of flower
blooming. In the following ar
ticle he cleverly points out one
great reason why boxing isn't
the sport it was years ago.
There wouldn't be that terrific
mess in the Middleweight class
if the sport of boxing had a high
commissioner, like baseball has
in Judge Kenshaw (Mountain)
Lands. Mr.. Mcdaniel goes
through this tangled knot in de-
tail.
Inasmuch as l have been ask
ed by the scholarly Mr.. Worth
to try to write a column dealing
with some phase of sports, l
shall shoe the flies off my mil
dewed brain, and bore you with
a dissertation on the gentle art
of beak busting or called by
some boxing. If you have some
thing else to do, do it as this
will probably make you think
that | should be first vice presi-
dent in charge of paper doll
manufacture.
1t is my contention that Box
ing should be governed by a
commission such as baseball's
Judge Lands. There has long
been a crying need for such a
step. For proof of my argu-
ment, take a gander at the pres
ent muddle in the Middleweight
class. This little merry go
round all started when Mickey
Walker, the Toy Bull Dog, re-
linquished the belt. Since that
hectic era there has been many
title claimants. That august
body known as the New York
boxing commission, has recog-
nized their various stumblebums
as champions. However the jur-
isdiction of this learned group
holds good only in New York
and California. On the other
hand we have The National Box
ing Association, the nabob of
Fistiana in 35 states, billing
various matches as championship
encounters. In the remaining
territories you can call your
Uncle Florian the 160-lb. boss
and no one will dispute your
word.
Today we have a pair of
scrappers alleging that they rule

Rome Admits New
Retreat in Africa
Before British

ROME, Feb. d. CUP Italian with
drawals in Eritrea to positions east
of Agordat and Barentu were ad-
mitted by the italian high COM
mand in its communique today
The communique said that after
the Italian withdrawal to points
between Agordat and the Red sea

ment of British Indian troops. 1t

night italian torpedo boats attacked
a British convoy in the Red sea
strongly escorted" by cruisers and
destroyers. They launched nine
torpedoes. and, it was said, struck

Japan Holds Out
U.S.Peace Hope;
War Fronts Quiet

TOKYO, Feb. 4. (UP)-Foreign
Minister Yosuke Matsuoka told the
house budget committee today that
he did not believe President Roose-
welt desired war with Japan and
that he himself had not abandoned
hope of improving Japanese-Am-
erican relations despite Japan's al
lance with Germany and Italy.
Even today 1 do not think that
President Roosevelt himself desires
war with Japan. Mr.. Roosevelt ap-
parently thinks that Japanese-Am-
erican relations can be adjusted if
Japan accepts his views" Matsuoka
said.
He said he believed he had made
clear to the American people, dur
ing the course of discussions in par
lament, that while Japans diplo-
macy fevolves round its alliance
with the Axis powers, it has not
abandoned hope of improving rela-
tions with America.
During the questioning, Yusuke
Thurlni, committee member, said
that maneuvers of outside nations
were more responsible than anti
japanese Americans for the present
strain in relations.

Willkie chartered a commercial
plane for the trip. His departure
from, Manchester had been uneX-
pected Before leaving he said:
Il want it understood that I shall
not attempt to influence de Valera
in any way. I merely want to ask
questions and talk to him across a
desk so I can have a full and
complete picture of the war situa-
ton There is an awful lot 1 feel
he can tell me that would be of
great interest in the United States"
Willkie, eager to get home to
testify before a senate committee
on the aid to Britain bill, planned
to fly from Dublin to London late
today and leave there for New
York via Lisbon tomorrow. 1t had
been part of his original plan, in
his visit to England, to go to Dublin.
But he had given up hope of getting

Albert v. Alexander, first lord of
the admiralty. had explained to
him the Importance which Great
Britain attached to Irish bases
which would extend the convoy
range of British warships and coast
al command airplanes by 300 miles.
Willkie said he would discuss
with de Valera Fires position in
light of the experiences of Holland
and Belgium, fellow neutrals, and
sound out his attitude on Ameri-

He indicated his discussion would
cover de Valeras attitude toward
the possibility that American war
