are forbidden to travel without spe-
cial permission outside of those
places where they are in residence.
The United States Embassy de-
clined to comment.

Washington said it was prob
able the consulates would be
closed, but that definite action
had not yet been taken).

ing been dropped.

pended on all lines connecting
BrindiSi, Bari, laramie (the naval

unions members to whom it will be
submitted tomorrow.
1t was indicated that the agree
ment settled some of the issues be-

dispute has been the unions demand
for union shop" in the huge plant

rector of the Office for Production
Management, who expressed hope it

tiers could be talked over"

Lou Nova Explains "What It Takes
 To Beat Joe Louis

pompton Lakes, N. J., Sept. g. A fighter needs three things to en- abla him to whip Joe Louis, in the opinion of Lou Nova, who is train- ing here for his i5-round bout with the champion ct the Polo Grounds in New. York on Sept. %. These requisites, according to Xoka Lou, are the opportunity, de- etermination and durability. If you lack any one of them, particularly the latter two, you might as well get yourself Q job in some defense industry and forget the whole thing.
 There probably are dozens of young brawlers around the whistle stops and tank towns who might give e good account of themselves with Louis if they had the oppor- tunity to face him, but few are lucky enough to get the nod into the great mans presence.
 Since Nova has already received the green light from the champ to 90 ahead and start pitching, the opportunity part has been taken care of and now ell he has to worry about-and 1t isn't keep- ing him awake nights-are deter imitation and endurance
 Joe has been fortunate in fac- ing c poor lot of challengers," says Nova. They've either been too old or too small or too green or just physical freaks, like Primo Camera, Buddy Baer and Abe simon.
 Conn 'Different"
 "The exception was Billy Conn, who had what 1t took to beat Louis except one thing-he was too fraii to stand the gaff. If I'd have had Louis as exhausted aS Conn had him in that twelfth round, I'm sure could have put hiIh away. And I'll guarantee you that those dying gaspS of punches that floored young Conn in the thirteenth would not have put me away, the way they did Billy.
 Everybody who goes in there against Louis fights him defen- sively. They get panicky. cover up and hope for the best. Joe knows they won't hit him because they're too busy protecting themselves, 50 he just hammers them with irn- punity, as he would Q heavy bag. I may be no Jim Corbett for clev- erness, but I'll take the fight to Joe and start punching with the bell. One of us will have to fall and I don't think it'll be me, for as Maxie Baer will tell you, I can take a man-sized punch and keep wading inv'
