SOVIET:
Continued

Grounding day came and went, but
regardless of shadows, King Winter
reigned in Soviet Russia, freezing
into motionless hulks the majority of
Hitler's mechanical war-fighters,
and giving the Russians continued
strength to hurl the Nazis back along
the entire long front.
A 93-mile gain in the Ukraine had
brought the Reds to within easy
striking distance of the lower bend
of the Dnieper river, brought within
the realm of possibility the capture
of Dnieperopetrovsk, where the
500, 100000 dam had been blown up
by the Russians in their retreat.
Most remarkable dispatch was the
announcement of the capture of a
town named Berestovoya, lis miles
west of German-held Taganrog,
serious blow to the German rear,
and forming a possible trap for thou
sands of Nazi troops.

r IEUT. COM. GENE, TUNNEY
- has rounded up first-class set
Of ring men for the navy. But the
army still has the top champ in a
fellow by the name of Joe Louis.
Many have said that the next
worlds heavyweight champion would
come from this war assemblage-
which is a dead-sure bet. It's my
guess that his name will be Joe
Louis, if some unlocked for fate
doesn't crowd in on the main act.
Or if army life doesn't pack too
much extra weight on the Bomber's
frame. It took him only few days
to add an extra ten pounds after
he'd cleaned out Buddy Baer.
Army life can put on weight as
well as take it off. The ring has
never had a champion before who
spent SO much time in a training
camp, who nicked off more miles
in road work, year after year, than
Jolting Joe. 1t will be interesting to
see how much Louis weighs some
three months from now.
Louis called the turn in his last
fight long before the fight was ever
made. He was training for Lou
Nova at the time. We were talking
about his first Buddy Baer meeting
and the Billy Conn fight. Always

PILOTS:
By Thousands

Secretary Knox electrified the ma
ton when he announced that four
large American universities would
''join the navy" and serve as train
ing centers for huge army of COM
bat pilots for the new navy air force,
to be created with a Is billion dol
lar appropriation.
Keeping the Identities Of the uni
versities a secret, Knox revealed
that the plan will be put into opera
ton so swiftly that by May it will
be in full swing-perhaps sooner.
Briefly, the plan was this. Each
school is to become an Annapolis OF
the air. The entire facilities of the
universities will be rented by the
navy for the duration of the war.
A rigorous routine will be adopted
for the students, future combat pi-
lots. They will handle $500 naval
flying cadets monthly.
A three-month preliminary train
ing will be started, with men dig
ging bitches, marching up to 40
miles from sunup to shutdown. They
will chop wood, clear land, will learn
jiu-jitsu, boxing, rough-and-tumble
fighting.
The whole course is expected to
take a year, from the time the
student starts until he has his navy
wings. But when the first class gets
through, the navy's supply of pilots
will grow at the rate of $500
month, according to the plan.

PINCERS:
In Island Empires

Little by little study of the maps
of the island empires of the AIDA
forces in the East Indies began to
show the picture of the japanese eff
fort, and demonstrated that giant
pincers movement was being car
ried out with three major detectives.
On the extreme west, the two
prongs of the japanese pincers were
working on Rangoon and Singapore.
The former, if the Japs could crack
1t, they felt, would put an effective
stopper on the Burma road. The lat
ter would jettison British hopes of
defending the west half of the island
empire, and leave the Japanese fleet
I in command of the India-Australia
supply lines. II
In the center lay Borneo, and
with invasion forces going both to
left and right of this island, it was
evident that the Japs were seeking
to wipe out the advance defenses of
Java and Sumatra.
On the east was the Bismark
archipelago, and the drive here,
while not so well established, appar-
emily was seeking an invasion of
Cape York, Australia, and sweep
down the east coast Of the continent
''down UNDER" the only rich and
populous section of the whole huge
island.
As Singapore rocked under bomb
ings, and held grinnly in the face of
actual siege at last, the Japanese be-
gan an about assault on Amboina,
tiny island naval stronghold of the
Dutch south of the larger island of
Ceram.

CHECKMATE:
On Farm, Prices

The administration in Washington,
having apparently lost an important
point in the Price Control bill, SEEM
ingly discovered that tall was well''
when a joker was found in the
measure.
Agriculture Secretary Wickard
said that the government power to
buy and sell commodities in case in
hation threatened, probably would
give the administration powerful
curbs to keep farm prices down to
parity.
The senate agriculture committee
questioned Wickard for four hours,
left his office somewhat ruefully adj
hitting that his claims were prob
ably true.
Some were quoted as saying that
they felt their legislative victory
over the administration had been
nullified by power the bill itself
conferred on the government.
Wickard was frank about the
whole thing. He told the senators
that cotton, wheat, tobacco, will be
stabilized at parity.
He said that corn and other feed
crops will be stabilized at around 30
per cent of parity, probably to keep
stock prices from going sky high,
also to encourage farmers to stock,
dairying and poultry-raising.
Livestock, dairy and poultry prices
will be permitted to go above parity
ON the same basis of reasoning.
Farmers who grow corn, however,
will be given benefit payments by
the government to permit their re-
turn to be up to parity.

MIRACLE:
Man on Luzon

The continued holding out of Cen
eral, Macarthur s'snoke-begrimed
army in its foxholes on Bataan
peninsula" to use his own words,
challenged and won the admiration
of all Americans.
It was felt that his long stand in
the face of more than 10 to odds,
his ability to maneuver his men
into position where only'a fraction
OF the japanese power could be used
against him, and the fact that he
was still immobilizing a vastly SUI
perior force, entitled him to the title
of miracle man" of warfare.
If the japanese attempted to in
filtrate his lines, as often as not he
checkmated them with counter
attacks. If they succeeded, either
by a skillful withdrawal or by vigor-
Gus counter-measures at hand-to-
hand, the following day would find
the Macarthur army still intact, still
fighting, still able to resist all eff
forts to drive him into the sea.
Though the communicates from
Luzon never had given hope OF a
successful outcome, there was no
tinge of heroics, save the tribute Of
the general to men who, without re-
lief and subjected to almost constant
attack by fresh troops in rotation,
continued a defense that seemed to
grow from day to day in strength
rather than to be collapsing under
pressure.
General Homma, Japanese COM
mander, sent over "leafiet raid"
in which he strongly suggested sur
render, paying tribute to the mag
nificent defense of Macarthur
army. It was not rejected-the
army simply paid no attention to
it whatever.

alibi, the Bomber finally admitted
that he was stale and well below
par in both contests.
Before I fought Buddy Baer in
Washington" he said, 81 was dead
tired. I trained in a hot place and
1 began to see black spots before
my eyes. I didn't have no pep left.
II hit Buddy plenty that time, but
there wasn't much steam back OF
my punches"
It was all different in the second
Buddy Baer party after Joe had got
ten his rest and had recovered his
lost steam. Quite different.
Louis also admitted on the same
occasion that he wasn't any too keen
before the Billy Conn roundup.
"He's a fast boy" Louis said,
"but l wasn't right. l was too slow.
Maybe he made me look slower, but
can be faster than was then. I
was still stale. I'll be different for
Nova"
Conn is the challenger picked for
the next Louis start, if there is an
other heavyweight battle soon. At
least, the slender Pittsburgher is the
only one given chance.
As fine boxer and as game a
kid as Conn is, still think he got a
break in catching Louis below form.
Louis also got a break, on the odd
side.
sHere's funny thing" Conn told
me, "the best punch threw cost
me that fight. I'll tell you how and
why. 1 had hoped and expected
to Outlook him. / was doing that
through the middle of the 18th
round. But near the end of that
round nailed Joe on the jaw with
good punch. / saw his knees half
buckle and his eyes roll. l knew I'd
hurt him. / thought he was about
through. So / decided at that spot
I'D knock him out.
II wasn't content any longer to
win a decision. l got rough instead
of getting smart. If hadn't landed
that punch I'm pretty sure ]
wouldn't have taken the chance
took-wading in and swinging fiat
footed. I gave him still target
to hit in place of moving target.
And wasn't hurt at the time. Don't
let anyone tell you his body blows
had worn me down. They hadn't.
''It was that belt on the head in
the 18th when I was trying to out
punch him that turned the trick. II
isn't often that your best punch costs
you fight. But that's what hap
pened to me-"
At His Best
1t is my guess that Louis was only
keyed mp in something like four
contests. One was against Max
Baer. The other was the second
Schmeling fight. The third was
against Tony GaIento. The fourth
was his final shot against Buddy
Baer.
know Louis was strung to the
top pitch In his second meeting with
Max Schmeling. He came near kill
ing the Black Uhlan in less than g
round. You can also gamble that
he was all set to wipe out Buddy
Baer quickly with his title at stake
Just before entering army ranks.
Louis had made up his mind to put
his army uniform on the heavy
weight champion of the world.
He had no such personal feeling
against Buddy as he had against
Schmeling and Galento. But his
fighting pride was riding high.

CHINESE:
Driue laps Back

What a major disaster the closing
of the Burma road would be had
been convincingly demonstrated by
the Chinese in their latest victory,
an important defeat of the Japanese
east of Canton.
The fight,was in the Waichow area,
only go miles from the city, and the
Japs were reported in disordered
flight, with the Chinese armies in
close pursuit. e
Of tremendous interest in this dis
patch was the report that one entire
division of Chinese troops of the
Marking government, armed and
equipped by the Japanese, had de-
serted to Chang Kai-shek's banner.
If this fight should develop with
continued favor to the Chinese, they
would place the Japanese holding
forces on Hong Kong with tough
job to retain their tenure Of the
island.
Canton is only so miles from Hong
Kong, and the Chinese said they had
possession of the Canton-K owloon
railroad.
The Chinese are driving to liberate
Canton, and then move on Hong
Kong itself.

is very cool. Shortly after he en-

failed and he was cornered back
