The most eagerly awaited boxing
match of the season involving httls
men takes place at Madison SQUARE
Garden tonight when Allie Stolz
Newark Lightweight, opposes Bobby
Ruffin, of Astoria, L. l., in a contest
scheduled for IL rounds. The bout
will be broadcast blow-by-blow IN
New England via WAIR and sta
tons of The Colonial Network from
1000 to HOO p. m. New York
boxing men and fans have been
talking about this match for months.
A few years ago when both Stolz and
Ruffin were aspiring young pros
poets, they fought each other twice
in Newark, with Ruffin winning the
decision in the first and Stolz eve
ming the score in the second. But
today Stolz and Ruffin have devel

sidered an outstanding contende'
for championship honors and thei,
is, therefore, considerable importanc,
attached to their meeting on Friday
night. The winner will place him.
self right in line for crack at the
135-pound division crown worn by
Sammy Angott. J.. Stolz has been II
the limelight little longer thar
Ruffin but the latter's record during
the past year has been so imposing
that many smart boxing observers
believe he is certainty to annex
the title. They rate his perform
ance in winning decisively from
Chalky Wright, world featherweight
champion, some weeks ago as the
classiest exhibition of boxing skill.

ed the practice of attaching riders
to non-Vetoable legislation such as
appropriation bills as reprehensible.
He did not specifically mention
Smiths effort to attach the no.
maximum -work-Week measure to
the War Powers bill, but he made
1t plain that his denunciation ap-
piled to all non-germane riders.
The source pointed out that the
Wage-hour law does not ban work
in excess of 40 hours q week, but
merely provided for time-and-s-
half overtime pay for excess hours.
/ Would Not Relax
He represented the chief execu-
tive as feeling that he would not
relax the statutes provisions-even
If he had such power-in the face
of rising living costs.
He pointed out that many work
ers would not be affected i'm
mediately by abandonment OF the
work-week limitations because they
are protected by union contracts
with 40-hour week clauses. But
many union contracts, he noted,
leave the question of hours and
overtime pay up to federal law for
enforcement.
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked at the
press. conference if he had heard
of a 168-hour war work-week sug-
gested in a petition by a group
of Rhode Islanders. Such a o.
hour day, seven-day week, would
not even give the workers time to
eat, the President observed.
The Smith proposal has thrown
the House into another of It's
heated discussions of New Deal
labor legislation. It was expected
to vote later in the day on Smiths
amendment, which WPB Labor
Director Sidney Hillman denounced
last night as move which would
result in confusion, demoraliza-
ton and a lowering of morale"
Speaker Sam Rayburn, D., Tex,
who seldom speaks from the floor,
may do so today in an effort 10 de-
feat the amendment.
Hillman, in a statement last
night, said:
"The enactment COT Smiths pro-
poSaD would not expedite the nee
essary war production but - far
more seriously-would result In
confusion and generalization and
a lowering Of morale, with meal
culable loss to our war effort.
Wherever any substantial delay
In production has been encountered
1t has been due primarily to a
shortage or scarcity of materials.
No delay In production has &C.
CURED by reason of the existence
of our protective labor laws on our
statute books. The plain fact Is
that the issue OF payment Of over
time rates for work In excess of 40
hours per week Is not relevant In
any way to the issue of produc.
tivity."
With the Democratic majority in
the House split OH the issue, the
balance Of power lay with Repub-
ucans.
House debate yesterday on the
issue was heated several times.

Carmine Picciotto, 30, the father,

The children. dark haired mites

months had lost one-third Of their
cruisers, in addition TO other naval
and air losses.
Commenting on statement by
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox
on Japanese losses, the newspaper
said:
Let there be no talk to the effect
that the enemys losses are of no
concern to him. In the air his losses
are equally heavy. He still has many
air craft, but our air force makes
itself felt.
THE enemy must attack, and as
he attacks he incurs losses which
must give him something to think
about.
This is no time for being

imminent. We shall fight with grim
resolution and with determination
to win.

SAMESE TWINS

They were joined by tissue ex-
tending below the navel from the
seventh rib-about two and a half
inches. They had but one navel and
had been nourished in the womb by
one umbilical cord.
DR.. Peter J. Timpone, who deliv-
cred them by CaeSarian section,
must make the decision, but there
was . chance he would have no
choice. Siamese twins often share
one vital organ, such as heart, Stom-
ach or kidney, or have, between
them, only one circulatory system.
X-ray pictures will be taken in a
few days TO determine whether they
are truly separate entities.
Less Fortunate
II they are not, they are even less
fortunate than the Hilton sisters,

them moving about. These twins are
held together face to face and. If no
operation is possible, as long as they
live, each will look in the others
face and submit to the others en-
brace.
Mrs. Picciotto was informed at
first that she had given birth to
twins. She wanted to see them at
once, for hours pleaded, where are
my babies want my babies"
At length, she was informed that
they were Siamese. Her first reaction
was establishment, then, grief, then
she became recopciled.
We're lucky In this respect" DR..
Timpone said. THE babies are join
ed at the front instead of at the
rear, ss In most such cases. If their
spinal cords were joined no opera
ton could be successful. In any
event, few attempts at separation
have succeeded.
There Is One Chance

I have soft tissue to deal with, in
stead of bony structure, unless the

MIR. SWINGS ELUSIVE
VACATION

Raymond Gram Swing, the au-
thoritative news commentator, is 60
ing to get vacation after all. His
plans to take three weeks at the
end of December backfired with the
United States sudden entrance into
the war with the extra burdens it
placed upon newsmen. Now, how
ever, he feels he can lay off and re-
lax for three weeks beginning April
|6.
For Swing 1t will be complete
vacation in every sense of the word
Not only willehe cease domestic
breakfasts for the period, but those
scheduled for the BIC as we'll. He'll
even cease writing his column on
American developments for Lord
Beaverbrook's London Express for
three weeks.
John Gunther, noted foreign cor
respondent and writer will substi-
tute for Swing as he had planned to
do when it looked as if the latter
would take an earlier vacation.
Gunther is now engaged in literary
activity and will go to the West
coast about March for short rest.

knew exactly when to attack, even
through terrain which the defend
ers considered invulnerable.
This was shown when the jap
anese first started to isolate Hong
Kong in 1888 by landing at Bias
Bay up the coast with the idea Of
taking Canton. The British were
sure the Japanese would move up
the Pearl river because of the diff
ficult terrain on both sides. But
the Japanese landed at what proved
the most logical place and moved
by land on Canton. In nine days
they had captured Canton.
Fifth Column Money
Silver bullets - money for fifth
column activities - aided them as
it did later in Malaga.
Foreign under estimation of the
capabilities of the Japanese army
has always been one of Japan's
strongest weapons.
Last Dec. 5 Air Chief Marshall
Sir Robert Brook-Popham, then
British commander in chief in the
Far East, said at an off-the-rec-
ord press conference that war
would not come to Malaga and
he ridiculed reports of the pres
ence of 500 Japanese planes in
French Indo-China. Three days
later the japanese attacked Ma
laya.
The month before Sir Shenton
Thomas, governor OF Singapore,
said he was not worried and new
er had been.
Giving the higher-ups such COM
placent impressions is part Of
Japan's methods.
The military methods are SIM
pie = to employ minimum OF
equipment, patterned for the pc
culiar conditions to be faced, with
a maximum of ammunition for the
lightest and most effective weap-
ons.
British soldiers found their own
gear unwieldly in the Malaga jungle
but the Japanese, wearing nothing
but a singlet, shorts and an am
munition bandolier, and able to live
off the land, were able TO move
swiftly.
Japanese invasion tactics so far
have bene routinely patterned.
The prelude is an aerial lombard
ment, combined at the proper mo-
ment with q diversion in which a
picked force goes through the mo-
tons of major landing, usually In
the opposite direction from that
of the main attack.
In Malaga, the prelude was an
airplane bombing of Singapore and
a landing diversion on the Kelan-
tan coast on the northeastern side
of the peninsula. The British re-
PEELED the first attack. The jap
anese flung in reinforcements re-
CARELESS of losses, in order to COM
pei the defenders to give their full
attention to the area.
Meanwhile the strongest Japanese
forces crossed the Thailand- Malaga
border and infiltrated down the pen
insula to key points on the west
side which we're actually under at
tack from the rear while the Brit
ish empire forces were jubilantly
reporting the repulse Of the east
coast attack.
Then the Japanese moved swift
ly down the peninsula while their
airplanes made concentrated light
ming attacks on all airdromes.
In the first hours they destroy
ed more than half Of the Imperial
air strength on the ground and OBJ
tained aerial superiority In the first
week.

GREAT PYRAMIDS
DISCUSSED DURING
YACHT CLUB MEET

The discussion at the luncheon
Saturday of the Key West Yacht
Club was confined chiefly to the
great pyramids, and was led by
DR.. Russ Williams, who has seen
them in the course of his world
wide travels.
One pyramid covers an area
about the size of two Key West
blocks, or 400 feet square, and
is also that number of feet high.
1t required 20 years for 100000
Egyptians to build that pyramid
and thousands of them died and
were replaced by other workers
during that period.
Beefeaters, some of whom
think there is little nourishment
in vegetables, should be inform
ed that the only things the Egyp-
tians ate while engaged in what
is thought to have been the most
laborious work the world has
ever known, considering the i'm
plements they had with which
to work, were radishes, onions
and garlic.
Present at the luncheon, be-
sides DR.. Williams, were:
]. K. Clemmer, Glenn c. Price,
Earle Green, w. c. Kenney and
Roy Myers of the U. S. Wildlifc
and Fish Conservation Depart
ment, F. w. Wheless, SIC. Sim
