'BeCkwith Set
To Beat Pastor

CHICAGO. Nov. 5. Booker
Beckwith, the hard-hitting Gary,
Ind, Negro boxer; has at least two
reasons why he would like to de-
feat Bob Pastor. No. a ranking
heavyweight. when they meet at
the Chicago Stadium r d a y
night. Either reason. in Beckwith's
opinion. would be enough 10 defeat
the former New York University
football player.
Reason No. l in Beckwith's
book comes from the fact that
the Gary pugilist essays a higher
notch in the professional fighting
rule. Reason No. 2-and Beckwith
shows annoyance when he discusses
'it-Pastor took .Beckwith's favo-
rite sparring partner. Hezzie Will
liams.
Despite the fact that Pastor
will have a 10-pound weight adj
vantage and an advantage Of five
years professional experience. the
odds on the fight today are 6 10
5, and take your choice.

Congress Will Start Billion
A Week Appropriation Drive

or more for each week in the
month.
The first five bills enacted by the
House during the past seven weeks
have totaled nearly $4,000 600, 900.
The supplemental bill due for
passage next week resulted from
President Roosevelt's recent re-
quest for $li91 100000 for the
Army and Navy. Mr.. Roosevelt
asked $500 100000 for Army hous-
ing, s6S3, 100000 for an immediate
Navy shore base development pro
gram, and $l5i.000,000 in contract
authority for the Navy.
The Deficiency Subcommittee IS
understood TO have trimmed some
OF these items, but 10 have retained
money for Guam. Samoa, and the
Atlantic bases acquired from Great
Britain. Cuts came in items like
L naval request TO replace It's ma
rine guard system with a naval

mated. The bill, however, still

Test Shipment
of Grain Asked

Washington. Feb. 22-UP-Arne
Sunde, Norwegian minister Of sup
ply. proposed today that the Tn ted
States send 100000 tons OF wheat
TO his country as a test" to de-
termine whether Germany won d
seize It.
He said In an interview that the
people in his country are hungry
and that the food situation is
growing severe.
Sunde called on President Roose.
welt yesterday and, although he de.
clined to discuss their conference.
it was believed that he had sug.
gested the wheat shipment plan u
Mr. Roosevelt for his considerat on.
Emphasizing that he would op-
pose L. s. shipments OF food 70
Norway, even in the face OF priva.
ton. II It fell into Germany's hands,
Sunde said
Il do not believe the Germans
would seize shipments Of grain
since they already have access to
large amounts in Rumania, Russia
and Hungary.
But even II they did. the 1907
600 tons which ! propose would be
such a tiny fraction OF their needs
that It would not affect the course
Of the war II would last them no
time at all
1t is such a small amount that il
would only help the 100000 PEG
p e of Norway. II would help tide
them over until some OF the sum
mer crops begin to come in-and
that is highly important"

Washington Seen
on Both Sides of
Lend, Lease Bill

DI L AltEI l0S@F
Washington, Feb. 22-UP-Both
proponents and opponents OF the
British aid bill found reason to
believe today that George Washing
ton, were he alive, would support
their positions. The Senate debate
was interrupted to permit the an
nual reading of the Farewell Ad-
dress" on the occasion OF the first
Presidents birthday.
Sen. Bennett c. Clark, D., No,
isolationist opponent of the bill
said Washington's address was
the best argument that could be
made against the bill" Sen. Ma
jority Leader Alben w. Berkley
said that opponents were going -
try to use old George to blitzkrieg
US today"
Proponents found their comfort
in this section OF the farewell ad-
dress:
Taking care always to keep our
selves by suitable Establishments,
ON a suitable defensive picture, We
may safely trust to temporary alli-
ances for extraordinary emergen
cies."
The opponents advanced this sec
ton of the same address:
THE nation which INDUCES to-
ward another an habitual hatred,
or an habitual fondness. is in some
degree a slave. 1t is slave to is
animositfes or IN its affection eith-
er OF which is sufficient to lead it
astray from its duty and its inter

day by 81 P.36 pursuit planes, trans
ported secretly to Honolulu by the
aircraft carrier Enterprise In an
unprecedented act OF cooperation
between the Army and Navy.
The planes were transferred from
March Field, Cal, to the Enter.
prise. The carrier anchored of
Homo ulu yesterday morning, and
from her decks the planes rose IN
threes to land on the Army's
Wheeler Field.
Only the highest Army and Navy
officials had known they were
coming, and II was almost IL hou S
before the arrival was announced.
Considerable mystery surround
ed the transfer. and the Army and
Navy did not choose to clear IL. For
one thing, Army planes are not
equipped with arresting gear TO-
landing on the decks OF the 500
foot carrier. and officers would not
say whether they were ferrled to
the ships side on barges and lifted
aboard.
