3 Meets, 3 Titles
Amateurs Mark
Brewster Fighter
Wins in All 3
Major Events
BY EDGAR HAYES

Three tournaments and three
titles is the record of Arthur Price
of Brewster. who scored a sweep
in the major amateur boxing
meets this Winter. He won The
Detroit Times Diamond Belt and
then followed up with the Golden
Gloves. Last night he completed
the season with a brilliant victory
in the Catholic Youth Organiza-
ton tournament. About 5000 fans
saw the final show of the indoor
season at the Fair Grounds Coli
scum.
Price defeated Fred Cuthrell OF
the University of Detroit in three
fast rounds. Price had little
edge in height and reach and
made the most of these advan-
tages. 1t was smuggling battle
from start to finish and only few
punches separated the two fighters
at the final gong.
Only one other boxer in De-
troitS history has made a clean
sweep of the three major tourna-
ments. James Edgar took all the
titles two years ago in addition to
winning the Diamond Belt Inter-
city and nationals at San Fran
cisco.

MULLANE WINS

Francis Mullane. a veteran OF
many of the greatest amateur
fights in this territory. turned in
another classic to eliminate James
Palmer of Brewster, fighting as a
member of Sacred Heart Parish.
Palmer, one of the sharpest hitters
in the amateur circles, moved
away to an early lead in the first
half of the opening round, but
Mullane gained ground with a
two-fiSted attack in the last min
ute and the round was even.
In the second round, Mullane. a
member of the Holy Redeemer
team, shook his opponent with A
right to the head and had a clean
cut margin for the session. The
third round found the two slug
ging toe to toe with Mullane hav-
ing a very slight edge. 1t was a
/ thrilling encounter, but the rugged
gameness of Mullane gave him his
7 second CYO title. He won in 1888.
He has won most of the major
titles at one time or another dur
ing his sensational career in the
amateur ranks.

1t appears from what I have

certainly has not decreased.
Look at the money that was

No business would stand for
such wanton spending as is done

The PEOPLES Lobby

THE Detroit Bureau of Governmental Research yester-
day issued interesting bulletin about the several
pressure groups that bombarding the makers of
Derots annual budget which under consideration
These groups include the Teachers Union the Board
of Education unions for non-contrac employees the Mu-
ncpa Employees Association and craft unions Their chief
demands for wage increases which would approximate
$5,100O00
This newspaper has quarrel with the merit of their
demands That is matter between them and the city
administration
The research bureau bulletin however makes the
following pertinent observation:
"In this debate there formidable and eo-
quent peaders might be said that these organ
lied minority groups, knowing definitely what they
want will prevail and that the taxpayer will lose
because he has such powerful lobby
mo rightminded taxpayer citizen wishes city
employe to work at sacrifice but neither
to pay taxes that city employees may enjoy more
favorable salary than the taxpayer does himself. The
present financial difficulties of the city are only in
creased by adding to the cost of government without
adding to services rendered to the citizens"
Then the bulletin recalls highly significant but fire.
quentiy overlooked fact.
1t points out that the citizen does after all have
lobby"a very powerful and adequately financed
spending 100000 year. Nine counclmen each
receiving $4,000 year and mayor at $4,000 year to
work with them constitute the peoples lobby-eected
solely to protect their interests"
There is truth that the people of Detroit never
should forget
The mayor and the council are their lobby pledged to
protect their rights regardless of the pressure of any
special group or bloc.

Keep Putting Coal on Fire

CHOULD America enter the European War?
y My answer is, I'VE ARE at war;"
The only course now open to us is to keep
throwing coal on the fire. AS long as the fire
burns for us in England we are safe.
We Americans know that England will
never be defeated. The British Isles may be
taken over by Germany by aggression. Eng
land will, however, fight on and on with her
navy.
The only way our present course, if per-
sisted in, can possibly involve us in actual
warfare would be for us to stop supplying
England with war supplies
The best way for America to concentrate
on her own defense and her own independ-
ence is to keep supplying England with arms
and ammunition.
There may be few flaws in the lend-lease
bill now before Congress, but these will be
ironed out i an amicable manner.

Murray sounds the tom-toms for
the fight TO organize" the great
Ford industry. No issue is raised
as to the wages paid. working

alone the battle cry that Henry
Ford must be organized.
Henry Ford has done more for
labor as a whole including the
Go than the unions themselves
have been able TO accomplish in
100 years. He is a Detroit insti-
tuition.

lenged the vile calumnies heaped

man in his dotage" will find out
he is not greater than the

Mr. Murray nor his -C40 is
greater than the people.
l demand that Detroit rouse
itself against these scurrilous
attacks on a great citizen. This
is not only Mr.. Ford's battle: it
is our battle, we, the people.
Too long have we been content
to enjoy the manifold benefits
he has bestowed upon this COM
munity and allowed him to carry
the burden of these and every
other form of refarious persecu-
ton alone.
1t is about time Detroit did
something about it. 1t can make
its voice heard above the shouts
of this gloating union and the
prejudice il creates. as well as
other lnsldiouS attacks against
him in high places, if it will
but make the effort.

OF war, prayerfully to re-

whether the real truth is that
whereas some of our interests

respect we should do our part

WE ARE going to convoy ships
w carrying aid to Britain. There
is not much doubt that a pro-
vision in the lease-lend bill
prohibiting the President from
using American armed forces
on the high seas to protect
American property would be an
unconstitutional congressional in
reference with his constitu-
tional power as commander-in-
chief of those armed forces.
Except for some psychological
popular effect, it would be USE
less, null and void.
Just now, popular opinion is
so much against conveys, which
would be a direct adventure into
war, that it probably would not
be attempted at present.
But a most skillful job has
been done of leading popular
opinion closer and closer to war,
and also of so timing action as
not to offend it. 1t is easy TO
see how a change to favor con-
voys could occur.
COME time later in the year
~ our industrial mobilization
will begin to disgorge vast
quantities of supplies. 7 he
British demand for them will
be great. The lease-lend bill will
be a law and there will be no
financial or other hindrance to
sending them.
Also, Hitler's major effort to
blockade Britain on and under
the sea will be at its peak and
cargo sinkings will multiply. A
lot of this vital war stuff in
which good American dollars
have been invested will go TO
the bottom.
Then we shall hear:
Are we just building ships
and supplies for Hitler to sink:
A ton of supplies on the docks
of Liverpool can help win this
war. So can ton Of supplies
in our own hands, but n ton of
supplies at the bottom of the
Atlantic isn't of any use TO any
body but Hitler"
The latter part of this argu-
ment is already being used By
distinguished authority, If you
once admit the major thesis that
Britain is fighting our war for
us" somewhat as the HessianS
fought hers against US; that the
pay is supplies promised and
that Britain is not getting them,
there isn't any very good answer
TO that argument.
A REGIMENTS for which there
"A aren't any very good an
swers don't very often prevail
with the American people. From
the moment that enough of them
swallow the argument tn a [
Britain is fighting our war for
u.s. we shall begin to convoy
shipments TO Britain.
Very soon after that happens
there is pretty likely TO be a
naval encounter between Amer
lean and German men-of-war OF
one class or another. and that
is outright war.
If the Britain is fighting our
war belief is accepted gener-
ally in the process of this fate
full sequence. we shall probably
drop into that condition of all
out war with no great shock.
The consciences of more and
more people are becoming
troubled with such night
thoughts as these:
"Since when did we begin to
let any other people do our
fighting for us, especially when
there is so much death and
desolation in the process? Isn't
II pusillanimous rafting to let
other mothers sons die to pro-
teet cur own??n
HERE again, if you accept the
II main premise that Britain
is fighting our war for US" 1t
is pretty hard to think up an
honest answer to that argument
also.
