Speakers Urge
Early RationIng
Of teachers

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 12-(P)
Pupils won't need coupons
but educators are attempting to
devise a teacher rationing pro-
gram.
And for the benefit of the on
coming generation, the services
of competent teachers had better
be rationed, two speakers told
the Missouri State Teachers AS
ISOLATION convention.
eve have no time to lose"
declared DR.. John Milton Potter,
president of Hobart and William
Smith colleges, Geneva, n. Y. He
urged an immediate wartime
policy to distribute teaching
manpoWer.
Otherwise. 1--WE may easily
raise up a new generation with
only a superficial knowledge OF
the very values for which we
are fighting; a generation UNI
prepared to meet the shocks and
strains of the postwar era"
The convention earlier yes
terday approved a resolution Of
fered by President Uel w. Lam
king of Northwest Missouri
Teachers College, calling for a
program to assure qualified
teacher for every school.
Unlisted in the resolution but
advocated in his address was a
system of outright teacher-ra-
tioning, to be handled by a CEN
trail defense agency.
Missouri's $4,000 teachers are
moving into the armed forces or
war plants at an increasing rate,
he told the convention, and "the
panic method of Fastening poor
ly prepared, immature or incom-
petent teachers into schools
merely to fill the gaps will re-
tard the effectiveness of educa-
ton for years to come
He suggested assignment OF
competent teachers on basis
of one to every 40 pupils (the
states elementary average is
now 30) with higher salaries,
and with state funds offered to
cooperating school districts.
And how would pupils reach
more distant classrooms?
Pay parents subsidy for pro-
viding transportation prob
ably the horse-and-buggy kind,
he said.

Mrs. James {. Jackson
TO Address League 7 tuesday,

problems are asked to write
them out for discussion follow
ing Mrs. Jackson's talk.
Mrs. Henry Reese, president
of the local League, will report
on the state board meeting
which was held last week in De-
troit and which was also at
tended by Mrs. Paul Hirt. A re-
lease sent out by National Head
quarters, received by Mrs. Reese
at the meeting, states that the
National League of Women
Voters denies the theory that
Isolationism died with Pearl
Harbor and gives the American
people a formula for detecting
symptoms of Isolationism in
Congress now.
In the face of the fact that
the ground work for lasting
peace is being made at this time,
nationalist sentiment in the Uni
ted States is growing in every
gain made on the military
'front.'" the leader declared.
After Analysing typical state
ments which give lip service to
the idea of Americas RESPONSE
bility after the war while at the
same time condeming every step
toward international good feel
ing, the League warned all citi-
zens to beware of the congress
man who says at one. and the
same time: CD that he would be
willing to promote better
feeling with other nations, but
advocates u. S. trade policy
that is bound to make enemies;
(2) that he wants an insured
peace after this war, but would
rely on a tremendous u. S. Ar
my and Maya course that
would invite another armament
race and another war; CD that
he would be willing, as kindly
gesture, to see the United States
join a world peace movement
but still fails as did the isola-
tionists before Pearl Harbor, to
see that cooperation is an essen
tial protection of the United
States interests.
Wide spread distribution of a
broadside called "Isolationism
Again" was planned at the spe-
cial board meeting in Detroit.

Lesnevich Takes On
Bicycle Bob Pastor
AT MISC Next Week

New York, Jan. 23-Gus Lesne-
vich is the world light-heavyweight
champion but how long he will
hold that title may depend on his
ten-round meeting with Bob Pas
tor at Madison Square Garden a
week from tomorrow night.
For II Lesnevich can triumph
over Pastor he may decide that his
future in the ring belongs to the
heavyweight division, rather than
the light-heavy, and he may de-
eide to relinquish his laurels as
ruler of the 175-pound class.
Pastor Is rated among the top
three or four heavyweight con-
tenders in the country. And he mer-
its that rating, based on his per-
formances during 1941 when he
engaged in seven cnotests without
a loss.
A victory for Lesnevich over Pas
tor will give the New Jersey lad
the same lofty position which the
New York heavyweight now enjoys
and Gus will have to be given
strong consideration as a chal-
lenger for the world heavyweight
title.
Likes" Big Boys
1t Is not a new experience for
Lesnevich to be facing heavyweight
opposition. Three years ago in Aus
tralia he defeated Bob Olin, for
mer light heavyweight champion
who was then campaigning as a
heavy. In 1910 Lesnevich trounced
Wally Sears, knocked out Henry
cooper and Jack Marshall, all
heavyweights. just year ago he
took the measure of Nathan Mann
in decisive fashion.
Since the Mann fight, Lesnevich
has concerned himself with light
heavyweight opposition, defeating
Anton Christoforidis to win the
National Boxing Assn. light-heavy
title, following with triumph over
Tami Mauriello to gain world rec
ignition as champion, and then
another triumph over Mauriello IN
defense of his laurels.
Lesnevich will scale over $50 for
the Pastor fight, with Pastor prob
ably weighing in at 1876 or 1856. Gus
weighed 181 the night he defeat
ed Mann in Detroit.

boatsWain's mate, borrowed one of
John Paul Jones' historic utter
ances today, substituted the sing
ular for the plural and announced
I've just begun to fight"
The former San Francisco bell
hop, whose speedy rise to the top
of the pugilistic pile was only equal
ed by his rapid descent, is a we'll
satisfied member of the United
States navy today and at 20 has
scored three straight knockouts in
somewhat belated but neverthe-
less enthusiastic comeback cam
paign.
Whatever I am today and what
ever I may become" he said, Il owe
to Uncle Sam.
Just Started
This navy life with its splerTid
food and better environment has
made me a different man and you
can just go and bet your last dol
lar that I'm coming back Why, I'VE
just begun to fight"
Apostolic, who won the New York
state version of the 160-pound
crown by knocking out Young Cor
bett III late in 1888 and lost it
again to Ceferino Garcia less than
IL months later, was one of the
first fighters to join the colors when
Lieut.. Comdr. Gene Tunney began
touring the country for men to carry
on a physical fitness program
within the ranks.
1T wasn't SO long ago that l was
ready to jump out of a window" he
said with grin. Il was kayoed by
Garcia, I went to hospital for an
appendectomy and 1 was pretty sick.
But this new life in Norfolk has
changed all that. l can't wait for
my next bout in February"
When he joined the navy, Apostoli
had been written off by boxers as a
has-been and he had spent eight
months in retirement trying to re-
gain his health. The way he de-
scribes it he "felt like an inflated
balloon, and believed that he was
past his peak. But his sentiments
have changed.
Today he's working hard as a
physical director, fighting on his
own when he can get leaves and
just for a boxers holiday-is con-
Quoting weekly smokers among the
gobs in an attempt to discover some
new talent among his mates.
Broke Jaw, Hand
Under the managers,hip of Harold
Scadron. Fred's first bout of his
comeback was a distinct success. He
knocked joey Spangler of Rich
mond, breaking Spangler's jaw in
the process. In his last bout he
broke his left hand in flattening
Ell Brookman Of Washington in six
but that break is healed now.
Il didn't know anything had hap
pened until it was all over" he said
Il just kept right on with my navy
duties anyhow. At 165 pounds I'm
10 heavier than when I joined up
and I never felt better in my life,
Ia like to meet that Bill Conn
again; I thought I beat him both
times I fought him."
'Apostoli's comeback has the 100
per cent backing of the naval train
ing station and he is just about
the most popular sailor on the local
government reservation. His mates
don't have much time to box among
themselves except at the smokers
Fred arranges, but they like them
tremendously.
It's really a great place." Apos-
toll said why don't you try it?"
