SHIP PREMIUMS TO JAPAN


1t is hard to believe, but the gov
eminent of the United States actual
ly is paying war risk insurance to
the japanese for helping to insure
the SIS. America, pride of the U. S.
merchant marine.
This is just part Of the revelations
over reinsurance which are break
ing this week at the justice depart
ment. These probes also show that
when a vessel is injured, Axis in
surance companies get all the data
regarding its cargo, time of depar-
ture, destination, and the interior
plan of the ship.
Thus, despite all the censorship of
Secretary of the Navy Knox, Ger
many has had an easy means Of
knowing all about every ship that
leaves the United States.
This is accomplished when Amer
lean insurance companies, because
of the heavy risk involved in insur-
ing a cargo in wartime, reinsure
with various foreign companies. In
other words, they sell part of the
policy abroad, thus distribute the
risk. That is how Japan makes
lush profit on insuring American
vessels, even vessels owned by the
U. S. A.
Last year congress passed law
providing war risk insurance for
U. S. shipping, but the maritime
commission, for reasons best known
to itself, has declined to take ad-
vantage of the law. Commission
members state quite frankly that
they wanted to throw the business to
private insurance concerns-as long
as private insurance was available.
DEBATE FREEZING AXIS FUNDS
One of the most vigorous inner
cabinet debates in long time con-
cerned the question of freezing
German-Italian funds on deposit in
the United States. In heated dis
cussion, Secretary of State Hull and
Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones
were the only cabinet members who
stood out for letting the two Axis
powers continue to spend money as
they wished in this country.
Many people may not realize it,
but whereas the government has
frozen the funds of all the conquered
nations - France, Norway, Den
mark, Belgium, Holland, Greece,
etc.-it continues to permit the con-
quering nations to use their money
in the U. S. A. in any manner they
wish.
For instance, Germany gets more
than million dollars monthly from
the lease of patents to American
companies. This is paid in Amer
lean dollars and can be spent for
anti-American propaganda or any
thing else, or shipped back to Ger
many. Italian diplomatic attaches,
for instance, were found carrying
100000 in U. S. currency in a
suitcase from New Orleans to Mex
leo for propaganda purposes. An
other 100000 of U. S. currency
was shipped to Buenos Aires by the
Italian embassy.
Meanwhile, France, for example,
no longer sells perfume, etc, to
the United States, but sells to Ger
many, which in turn ships the per-
fume through Vladivostok to the
United States. Reason is that
French funds are frozen, so the
French can get no money from the
U. S. A. But German funds are not
frozen, so French trade to the
United States now increases NaZi
profits and helps build up trade
channels for the future

THE FACTS
WE TALK ABOUT BILLIONS az
we formerly talked about millions or
even thousands, and not one of us,
including the most intelligent of our
public men, has any idea of what a
billion really is. We talk about IS
billion dollar debt, and none Of US
can visualize such a sum, or apply
it to ourselves.
In an interview short time ago,
Joseph W. Martin, publisher Of
small daily newspaper in Massachu-
sets, leader of the Republican
minority in the house Of representa-
tives and national Republican chair
man, interpreted that debt for us
as individuals. He said it meant
the individuals share in that debt
men, WOMEN and children-amount-
ed to S493. For each family Of five,
the amount is S2,46 The annual
interest charge each individual pays
is sl2.75, and for each family OF
five it is S63.75.
1t is certainly time that govern
mental operations be interpreted SO
we average Northumberland that u
practically all of the American peo-
ple-can understand just what Is
going on.
Give the American people the
facts so they can understand them,
and the American philosophy OF
government will be maintained.

PENN RELAYS TO START OFF 5000 ATHLETES TODAY
Indiana Favored to Win Two Major Events; Fin.
 ish Saturday
BYl' OSCAR FRALEY

United Press Staff CoErespondent)
 Philadelphia, April %. - (UP) = Three thousand track and field athletes assembled at Franklin field today for the opening of the 47th annual Penn relay championships. Weather conditions were promising
 Twenty-eight events, including three American relay championships and two special events, were on to- days program. Norty-seven other events bring the two-day carnival to Q close tomorrow.
 Indiana ruled the favorite to cop the championship and was the choice to win two of the three major events today = the distance and sprint medleys. North Texas State and New York University were the toosiers' outstanding rivals.
 The huge red brick stadium sur rounding Franklin Field was blaze of color as the athletes tuned up for the meet.
 Wishful
 Lawson Robertson, the canny scot who has guided University of Penrl- sylvania track fortunes 25 years, watched the array of talent with envious eyes. It's been six lean years since Penn won a title at its own meet and the bumper crop which turned out this year from colleges throughout the nation left him little hope that his Quaker squad would capture a champion ship.
 Xavier of New Orleans, coached by former olympic champion, Ralph Metcalfe, was one of the favorites in the first championship event, the quarter-1nile relay. Other ppossible winners were North Texas, Penn State, Michigan State, N. Y. U., Princeton, Pitt, Dartmouth and Duke.
 Pepperdine 'Hot'
 Indiana drew formidable colmpeti- ton in the distance medley from N. Y. U., Columbia, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, North Texas, Columbia and Manhattan. Pepperdine College of Los Angeles, which holds an tarly spring victory over southern California, was ranked among the sprint medley favorites along with the Hossiers, Georgetown, N. Y. U., Princeton and Pittsburgh.
 Five additional races Saturday on which the carnival championship Is decided are the one-half mile relay, defended by North Texas; the one-half mile, four-nile, 430-yard shuttle hurdle, two-mile and one- mile events. The latter event was expected to be a dogflght between Indiana, N. Y. Q. and North Texas State.

WILBUR SHAW FACES
 RACE 13 ON MAY 30

Indianapolis, Ind, April 25-Wil- bur Shaw, a jinx-blaster among race drivers, Is up against Q tough one this time. Coming up IS the Big Thirteen"
 When Shaw goes to the starting line on May 30 1t will be his 18th appearance in the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. As if this isn't enough to contend with, Shaw will be shooting for his fourth victory in this event, feat no driver has ever accomp- lished. Lou Meyer, the retired vet eran from the West Coast, is the only other man who has won three victories. Also Shaw will be attempt. ing to win three races in row.
 Shaw demolished two jinxes last years. First he carried the bugaboo Number 1 on his sleek Maserati to win. Only once before since 1911 when the annual race was started, has the winning car borne the Num- Der 1. That was in 1923 when Ton- my Milton beat out such stars as Jimmy Murphy, Harry Hartz, Dario Resta and Ralph DePalma. Racing men had long fought shy of Num- Der 1.
 The other jinx Shaw shattered last year was in becoming the first man in the history of the Speedway to win two years consecutively. A few driving aces have won the "500" two times, but never twice In row. The Number 1 hex, at least, won't bother Shaw this year, for his auto will carry the Number "2. Car numbers are assigned by the Con- test Board of the American Auto mobile Association on the basis of national ratings in the previous year. Therefore, Rex Mays, "The California Cannon-Ball," will be the Number l driver this year. Although he placed second to Shaw in the "500" last year, Mays competed in other races throughout the country and won the national championship. Shaw did not compete other than at Indianapolis, but his victory there alone was enough to give him run- ner-up points.
 Shaw, as you may have guessed, doesn't hold much with supersti- tions of the track. Last year when he told his chief mechanic, Cot ton" Henning, to paint Q big Mum. Der T" on his car, he said:
 I'm driving an automobile race, not playing a numbers game. If I am going to win can do 1t whether the car carries Number "1" or "13".
 And that, apparently, is the way he looks at the bugaboo coming up this year when he goes to the start- ing line for the 18th time. To him 1t isn't @ bugaboo at all.

 The bases were full when West went to bat the first time. Shortstop Arky Vaughan had to be just where he was to take a liner of the young mans bat. The next time up West belted a 385-foot home run over the left field wall of Forbes Field.
 It was Vests way of serving notice he had arrived.
 West, who went there directly from high school, played every posi- ton for Americrs of the Georgia Florida League in 1935-'36-37.
 Buck Grouse, also catcher, first saw his possibilities in that position with Baltimore in the spring of '38.
 West was batting 436, and had smacked p home runs for Dover of the Eastern Shore when Hornsby took him to Chattanooga in mid- June.
 He caught, played outfield and pitched the Lookouts to two vic- tories.
 Baltimore alternated him between catching and the outfield in '39. Re- called by the Redlegs in August, he got into three or four games in left field and won couple of games with pinch hits.
 Prompted by necessity, McKech- nie last season saw that West de voted his entire time to backstop- ping. He caught 113 games for h. dianapolis batted .284.
 West, only g, is a right-hano power hitter. Jules Ems, now Q Gin cinnati coach, schooled him in h. dianapolis says that in another year he will murder all types of pitching He still makes mistakes and Is bit awkward, but when he throwl you understand why Hornsby urged him to pitch.

Galento Boxes The Spig0t; Bring On All Dose Bums''

boxing men still say that If his body was as willing as his heart, he'd be hte world heavyweight champion today.
 His career as 8 big-money fighter came to @ conclusion in Washing ton short time ago at the hands of big Buddy Baer. Tony failed to onswer the bell for the seventh round because of an injured hand. Credit to Joe Jacobs
 Although the Baer brothers - Maxie and Buddy-between them finished Tony for keeps, it was Joe Jacobs, the man who gained him his greatest successes, who was &C., tually responsible for his quick fin-
 Quite a few managers had tried to take the pudgy New Jersey bat tier and make something of him but 1t wasn't until the dynamic, cigar smoking Jacobs tanned him to a certin degree that Galento climbed in earnest.
 The diminutive Jacobs took the combination iceman bartender bouncer and beat the drums for one of the most artistic ballyhoos in the fight business. From one end of ths country to the other, he paradet his gladiator and his eloquence be. came so convincing that he finally sold Galento to the public-Best O alto Tony himself. Fought Up the Ladder
 All Galento wanted to do theY was fight. He growled, butted ant swore his way through all sorts O fighters taking several goot thwackings on the way - into match vii el Joe Louis.
 Although nobody but Tony be- lieved he had chance, Tony-wh, had nothing but contempt for tn champion = pounded into Louis rocked him with @ humping lief early in the fight and knocked hin down in the third round.
 For one pulse-stopping moment the bartender battler was at tn top of the fistic Armament, tn championship in his grasp, bu Louis got up and beat Galento int such pulp the fight was halted 1 the fourth.
 Tony started a comeback fe, months later by belting Lou Nov all over the ring and then set hi sights for Maxie Baer, But the bub ble that had been inflated with tn I peculira talent of Joe Jacobs, burs into a thousand pieces when tn energetic little dynamo died shortl after the Baer match was closed.
 Galento never recovered froF that blow. Maxie put him on tn tobaggan and brother Buddy gay him the final shove down the hill.

Torrington, April 25 - Torring- ton High schools baseball team will attempt to break into the win col- tlmn at the expense of Wilby of Waterbury at Fuessenich Park Sat- urday afternoon in Naugatuck Valley League contest.
 The locals have lost two starts to date-both ten-inning affairs-los- ing to Naugatuck last Saturday and also suffering 8 defeat by Water town Tuesday. Wilby lost to An- sonia, 9-7 in its opener.
 Torrington who had the state championship team of 1889, is ham, dicapped by a poor pitching staff this season. The infleld is composed of all veterans and the outfleld po- sitions are held by a number of sub- stitutes who saw little service dur ing the past few seasons.

on both occasions-that of Byron Nelson and Gene Sarazen.
 Nelson, current P. G. A. title- holder, holed Q No. iron shot on the fourth hole of the Philadelphia Country clubs Spring Mill course in our second playoh for the Na- tional Open crown.
 This remarkable shot was hit from 210 yards out.
 The ball came to rest against the pin.
 It dropped in when the flag was lifted.
 Had Nelson shot par on the 4th, I believe I would have sunk my final putt to tie him again. As 1t was, missed and finished three strokes behind.
 Sarazen sank a 220-yard, No. 4 wood shot for double eagle on the 485-yard 18th hole of the Au- gusta National course. He finished in par to tie me at 282, and took the playoR.
 sHUTE SHOOTS MIRACULOUS ROUND IN ST. ANDREWS GALE
 Denny Shute turned in @ fourth round miraculous 73 in a terrific gale to tie me at 2o2 for the British Open.
 I had at least c half dozen three putt greens missed several short ones.
 had Paul Runyan at . disad- vantage a number of times in the P. c. A. championship in Buffalo in '34, but the Little Man with the Big Spoon pulled them out of the bag and sank 12-footer to prevail on the 38th hole.
 Tommy Armour calls the P. c. A. the toughest tournament to cop.
 All entrants are topnotchers.
 There is no time for laggard golf.
 A player must not only be on his game through 36 holes of qualify ing play but also every second dur ing five long match play rounds.
 The result of my British Open playof with Shute caused me to change my putting style.
 Puts dropped for me in the re. cent Masters. I putted better than I had in two years.
 Golf championships are won on the greens.

 New York, (U P)--Out at Orange, N. J., today @ mere dime brings you the biggest and best show in boxing.
 For that small sum you can watch and listen to the almost ircessant buster of Tony Galerto at It's loud- est and with mahogany bar for protection, wonder at the human beach ball of boxing who can still sheer at "dose buns" while shadow boxing with 8 set of spigots.
 Besides @ glass of "suds" and a few pretzels, you get pudgy fore finger poked into your midrif and 8 constant stream of tales abouts a pugilistic paragon named Galento, heavily favored with:
 "Just give me one more chanst at dose buns. Fer charity, fer love or fer nuttin'. I could beat 'em all, dat bum Louis included"
 Throw Back to Old Days
 And as the gruff tones drone un- ceasingly, 8 conviction is borne that this was @ prize-f1ghter extraordin- ary. A man who was & definite throwback to the days of gar-rooms with their beak-bustin brawlers. It becomes apparent that this pudgy and colorful veteran, whose career soon will be "immortalized" in the trite and skimpy prose of the box ing records, deserves a more elo- quent eulogy.
 As fighters go, Tony never was so much. He ate what he pleased, smoked almost continuously and drank when and as much as he liked. He clustered often, swag- gered and beloved in the ring, as well as out of 1t. But for all that,
