Conn Breaks Hand in Fioht
With His Futher-in-Luw

PostPonement Of
Bout With Louis
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASsOClhteu FresS.
PITTSBURGH, May 11.-Billy
Conn, heavyweight title aspirant
who was slated to meet Cham
pion Joe Louis in a title bout
next month, broke his left hand
last night in a fight, friends said,
with his father-in-law, Jimmy
Smith, onetime ball player.
Conns manager, Johnny Ray.
said another examination of Conn s
hand would be necessary before a
decision was made on calling off
the Conn-Louis match Conn, a
private in the Army, was scheduled
to return to Fort Wadsworth, N. Y,
today after week end furlough
here.
The incident last night topped
off a long g-standing feud between
Conn and Smith, who had objected
to Conn's marriage last summer to
Smiths daughter, Mary Louise, a
former model. Conn was married
a few days after Louis knocked him
out in the thirteenth round of their
title match.
Manager Blames Smith.
That's the second time Jimmy
Smith knocked this kid out of the
heavyweight championship of the
world" Ray said. You have NO
idea how his actions before the
fight last June upset Billy He
didn't sleep or eat for a couple of
days before the fight. Now when
it looked like sure thing that
Billy would win in the return bout
this has to happen"
The Sun-Telegraph quoted Conn
as saying that Smith, through a
friend, invited him to the Smith
,, home last night following chris
tening ceremony for the Conns
baby. Conn said the friend ex-
planned Smith wanted to bury the
hatchet." The newspaper quoted
Conn:
Maybe he did want to bury the
hatchet before I got there but not
after.
Smith asked me If I was afraid
Of him. I told him I wasn't afraid
of anybody. Then it started"

warned by the Office Of Price
y Administration to get out before
Nasoline rationing starts Friday.
The rationing regulations carry
no provision for driving cars
long distances except by appli-
cation to local rationing boards,
the o. P. A. said, and vacation
lists otherwise will be able to buy
only that amount they can get
on an "a, card after rationing
begins. This Is a total of 81
gallons.
The o. P. A. also said that per-
sons who need to move their cars

some other point in the rationed
area may apply at a local rationing
board for a supplemental ration.

ficials added that they were con-
f1dent that dealers supplies would
be adequate for all card-holders
when actual rationing starts Friday.
The week end was marked by heavy
gasoline purchases in many areas.
Deliveries to dealers, it was ex-
planned, are being held to a level
which will prevent any diminution
of the 40l, ,784, 900 gallons estimated

one-third of the $500, 900 automo-
bile owners in the area would re-
ceive "a" cards for the 3-gallon
weekly basic ration for non-essential
drivers. ''B" and TX" cards will
entitle other motorists to enough
gasoline to carry on work and to
60 to and from work.
