New York--Someone in the Of

ployment service forgot that the
Service has a policy not to dis
criminate against Negroes n
placement last week and that
the United States is trying to
win a war, the NAACP said this
week.
Hunter College student Cynthia

with several companions, at the
NYSES to work on farms for the
summer to help in the "Food for
Victory" campaign. The girls had
been urged to do so at school
Miss Linton made her application

When she reported she was told
that she could not be accepted be-
cause she is a Negro.
Miss Linton reported the Incl.
dent to the NAACP which has
written to Rich - C. Brockway,
director Of the State Employ

sure prompt steps will be taken

Haraway was indicted some
time ago by an all white grand
jury and sentenced to five years
in prison. He didn't take that
so well and the State Supreme
Court set aside the conviction
because there were no Negroes

(Reg. U. $. Pat. Office)
 BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

New York, Jan. 9 U.PD - Some night, when the cigar smoke at ring-side hangs in great, pillow ing clouds and the cheers of the crowd crash down from the stands in waves, an arm will whip out of nowhere to thud against a smooth, tan chin and the reign of the great est world heavyweight champion will be over.
 It will all be over in just about the length of time it takes a man to blink his eye. The graceful body of Joseph Louis Barrow will go limp and then it will slump into the resin dust on the canvas just as the rag gle-taggle body of scarecrow slumps when the props are jerked suddenly away.
 But it won't happen tonight.
 It won't happen tonight because, ironically enough, the amiable giant of boy you know as Jacob (Bud- dy) Baer is too big to make it hap pen.
 When you set out to pick the winner of any boxing contest, there are six points to keep in mind - punch, ability to take a punch, box ing ability, speed, physical condi- tion and incentive. Several of those factors are so integrated that it is often hard to distinguish among them, but generally speaking they are as accurate measuring gauges as can be found.
 Too Big?
 Buddy Baer is endowed with four of these six qualifications for good, and perhaps great, fighter. He has the punch, the capacity for en- during punishment. A superb body and all the heart and will to fight that any boxer can use. But he weighs 245 pounds and stands six feet, six inches high, and this very size costs him the coordination that makes for speed and skill.
 It is an axiom in boxing that 8 good, healthy belt to the chin speaks louder than the combined voices of all the experts in circulation. Buddy proved .nat last May when he knocked Louis through the rpoes. But, in the end, his body was too vulnerable for survival; Buddy couldn't protect his vast territory against enemy thrusts.
 As for Louis, he is little doubt full as a factor. He can hit harder and he can hit faster. He is a better boxer and he is in equally good con- dition. The moot points are his ability to take it and his incentive to win. At least they are supposed to be his weak spots, if any. How ever, on this I'm forced to dissent vigorously.
 Over the long stretch, Louis is

Warriors, Spartans Win Boys Club Games
Bills Five and BOmbers Defeated; Warriors First
 Round Champs

The Warriors captured the first round championship of the Boys Club Senior House League last night when they defeated Bills 5 by the score of 31 to g. In the other con- tests the Spartans bested the Bohb- CTS 26 to 19 to win runnerup honors : in the first round standings. The Alumni quintet finished the fourth position as a result of forfeit vic- tory over the Gents.
 Danny Rosa and Lazar Ianniccne proved too much of an obstacle for the Bills hoopsters to overcome last night. With customary dash and alertness the Warriors drove to points whenever they seemed neces- sary and easily won first round honors in the Club Senior League. Charlie Bedell lead the losers with an II point assault on the hoop.
 The Spartans outlasted the Bombers third period attempt to even the ball game up after dis astrous first half and won out 26 to 19. Bowling Hanrahan and Culli- nan were best for the Spartans with Korowoltny leading the Bomb CTS in the points department.
 The second round opens next Thursday with the Spartans meeting Bills at 7 o'clock followed by the Bembers and Alumni and the Gents and Warriors. Summary:

the finest fighter I have ever seen. They say he doesn't like punish ment. Well. who does? He was knocked out by Max Schmeling but he climbed back from never-never land against Tony Galento, Jim Braddock and Buddy himself, and he went on to win by knockout. To me, his physical courage is un- questioned.
 Louis is popularly supposed to be on the decline as a fighting mach inc. True, he had trouble with a few of his recent pponents-but he koncked them out and what more can be asked? If he has lost his punch, it wasn't evident the night he poled Lou Nova. If Louis is slip ping, it is in some other direction than down.
 Hard Losers
 Then there's the matter of incen- tive. Did you ever see champion, no matter how wealthy, surrender his crown without a struggle? Re- member the Barney Ross who was illC Uy I1cIlIy h1lIlS StIOllS WlIIl cVeTy- thing but the time keepers mallet or the same Armstrong in his fade out with Fritizie zivic? Or even the over-sized clown, Primo Camera, against Max Baer?
 No, Louis has the incentive as long as he is champion and it is with genuine regret that I offer my guess as to what will happen when the bel sends the two boys together tonight. If Louis must be beaten, I would like to see Buddy beat him. Buddy is game, sincere, modest and deserving, and he would be credit to sports as champion as he is credit now.
 But my guess is this: Joe Louis will knock him out in the third minute of the second round after smashing his big, helpless body at will. Buddy may get up once, twice or three times and he may be on his feet when the referee calls a halt. But hope not. wish Baer weren't as game as he is, and hope Louis ends it as painlessly as he can.

LOUIS IS MEAN BLOKE IN A SECOND EDITION

Chatting with Louis, you gather that he wants to get even for in- dignities piled on him in Round One at Griffith stadium, and Smoky Joe always has been a mean bloke in second edition.
 Baer is too big and slow and hasn't enough of any one thing with which to beat Louis, unless it is punch.
 So perhaps Baer's best bet is to come out aWingin'. His one hope seems to be to hurt Louis early.
 Boxing men fear that Buddy Baer's confidence may bring the en- gagement to a quick ending, but a dull moment Is unlikely while it lasts.

 Taking the fact that he belted Louis through the ropes into con- sideration, Baer more than held his own with the champion for five rounds.

"NIGHT IN RIO" NEW FEATURE BILL ATT TWENTIETH CENTURY
South American Musical Stars Faye, Amelhe,
 Miranda, Others

The glamour and romance Sug- gested by the soft Brazilian moon, the throbbing rhythm of the Sam ba, and the tantalizing movements of exotic dancers provide the back ground for 20th Century -Fox's Technicolor musical, That Night in Rio," which stars Alice Faye, Don Ameche and Carmen Miranda, and opens tonight at the 2Oth Gen. tury Theatre.
 This latest cinematic contribution of the studio that produced Down Argentine Way and Tin Pan AL ley" is sprinked with catchy tunes by those master tunesmiths, Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. The vivacious Carmen, who is accom- panied by her Banda Da Lua, finds plenty of reason to sing and dance when "Iyi, Vi, Yi,' "Chica, Chica, Boom Chic,' Boa Noite" Good Night, They Met Tn Rio' and "The Baron Is In. Conference are played
 Neatly interspersed with the catchy tunes That Night in Rio" is the intriguing story of double dealing double, Don Ameche, who portrays first an American night club performer in love with his singing and dancing partner, the glamorous Carmen Miranda. But he is also a Brazilian boulevardier. Baron Duarte, married to the all turing Alice Faye. It is comedy at it's best, and according to preview critics, it is tops as entertainment
