Privates Billy Conn and Joe Louis
world apart in speed and skill. The
contrast was a case of the rapier
and the falling redwood
How Conn will make out in his
second visit is something you'll be
hearing about through many weeks
ahead-until Conn and Louis supply
the answer. Whatever happens then,
it will be a much more active eve
ming than Simon could offer.
There will be 80 pounds less target
and far greater elusiveness in front
of the Louis barrage. And far
better fighter.
Early Debating
In the course of the next two or
three months army life and army
food will add several pounds to the
present weight of both men. At
least, it usually does, except in the
case of the overfat.
Conn can stand additional weight
better than Louis can. Joe looked
physically perfect at 207, so far as
hand speed and power go. His mis-
takes were due to an Overeagerness
that upset part of his timing. Just
how much speed he will lose at 212
or 215 is a guess that belongs to
the future.
Conn could stand an extra five Or
six pounds, without speed cost. APP
pearing for minute Or so in the
ring just before last Fridays fight,
Private Bill in his uniform looked to
be thinner than half a toothpick.
Conn still believes the best punch
he landed in his first Louis fight
was the blow that cost him the
scrap.
'When 1 nailed Joe near the end
of the twelfth round" he said again,
II knew 1 had hurt him. I knew
he was tired 1t was the best punch
I had planted in the fight. Right
there is where I made my mistake.
I decided to get tough instead of
getting smart. I honestly thought 1
could knock him out"
These are merely some of the
angles that will come up when the
two famous army privates meet
again.
Po,Uer Us. Speed
Hard punchers always have had
their main trouble tangling up with
speed or better boxing skill.
You may recall the fact that in
their 20 rounds Jack Dempsey could
win only something like two rounds
against Gene Tunney. Jack had IS
rounds in which to draw a bead on
TunDey and Tom Gibbons with only
one knockdown. And Harry Greb
was green mamba against the big
fellows, as long as he had two eyes.
Joe Louis had far more trouble
with Billy Conn than he ever had
against the mammoths and the
mastodons. 1t took him 81 rounds,
or Whereabouts, to leave Bob Pastor
fiattened in the pleasant meadows.
There is no intention here to sug-
gest this far in advance that Conn
has an even chance to win. But
there are at least the possibilities of
another big-time thriller, especially
when it is private soldier against
private soldier for the largest re-
lief gate any single contest has vet
offered.
Louis and Conn are sure to be
sports major party for 1942-frst.
as spectacle; second, as the more
important contribution to the GEN
eral good of much tougher and
much bigger game-the matter of
needed relief.

says Mrs. Edward Helmuth, VOL
unteer special service chairman,
is due largely to the ability and
efforts of Mrs. Harrison Fits,
who Is head of the cutting group
and who makes the master pat
terms herself.
Since February, 1912, when she

she is so enthusiastic about the
work that is being done by these
women that you find yourself

just listening to her tell about it.
The incest thing about Mrs. Hell
muth is that she wants to give
every one else ALL the credit.
Mrs. Fits deserves ALL the credit
for this, she says, showing us the

s(Contlnued from Page D Gestapo and storm troopers imme- diately threw a cordon around the entire stadium area and made many arrests but the patriots escaped.
 Antagonism aroused by the recent activities of the pro-Nazi faction led by Jacques Doriot as well as hatred for the Germans apparently inspired the weeks sabotage cli- maxed by the stadium attack.
 The lock gates on the busy north canal were dynamited, blocking coal barges and other traffic at Tergnier on the Aisne. This was another outstanding piece of sa- botage.
 The stadium adjoins the famous Prince park and the Palond Garros international hard court tennis stadium and the Molitor swimming pool between Auteuil and St. Cloud.
 Observers who had seen the fierce revenge the Germans have taken on hostages and innocent individuals for lesser offenses, feared their re- venge program would now reach a new high. They recently threatened to wipe out entire families down to cousins of suspects identified in sabotage and terroristic acts.
 However, no reprisals or executions have been announced, although a week has passed since the attack.
 The collaborationist newspaper Effort in Lyons was damaged when bomb was thrown through a win dow last week, wounding stenog- rapher. The paper had supported numerous pro German moves, in- cluding the proposal to send work CTS to Germany in exchange for war prisoners.
 The paper is directed by Paul Rives, a former collaborator with Leon Blum in the Socialist party who now is supporting Marshal Henri Philippe Petain's national rev olution and chief of government Pierre Laval's collaborationist pol icies.

1 by going on a hunger strike, has continued to take his simple meals of goats milk, herbs and fruit. It is reported that three goats have been provided so Gandhi will have fresh milk
 It was such fast in 1883 that brought about his release from the Poona jail, which is down in the city below the palace. It was in this jail that Gardhi planted the seed of Mango tree when first jailed in 1922. When he returned 10 years later he found the tree flourishing, big enough to provide him with shade. It also was in the Poona jail that he built the little brick plat form on which he placed his spin ming wheel.
 This week, however, there has been no evidence that Gandhi will spin, for the Takli, the sing elsteel stemned instrument on which thread si spun from cotton by revolving the stem between the fingers, was not in evidence.
 The British reportedly permit him to receive an English daily journal so he can keep informed on world events, and his routine has not greatly changed except that his movements are restricted.
 Gandhi normally rises at 4 a. m., and he customarily walks two miles a day. Now he is getting his eXeh- cises on the broad veranda where he also sleeps, pacing it as though it were the deck of a ship,
 What He Does
 In the early hours he reportedly prays, sings hymns such as the Tul- sidas and the Ramayana, the latter Sanskrit epic. Afternoons he ire quently reads the Mohammedan Koran, trying to understand the Islam philosophy with which his Hindu views have so often clashed.
 With Gandhi at hte palace are Mrs. Gandhi, Dr. Sushila Nayyad, Miss Nradelaine Slade, daughter of British admiral, and his personal secretary, Madeodesai Pearlylal.
 Dr. Nayyad returned to Bombay from studying in Lahore just a few hours before her leaders arrest. She went tos the pavilion where he spoke for two hours and when he stepped from the platform she knelt in the dust before him. Gandhi patted her on the shoulder, lifted her to her feet and inquired about her medical studies. A few hours ltaer she came here with him and now reportedly checks his health daily.
 The other Congress leaders ar rested and originally brought to Poona, reportedly have been moved to Ahmadnagar, but the little lead CT, cut off from the city, may not know this. He may not even know that this morning police fired on parading students in Poona when they refused to break up their par ade of dawn" in which women sing emotional patriotic songs to arouse th epeople.
 Authorities said sterne measures would be adopted here with police patrols reinforced by military pick cts and curfew, effective this evening. They also prohibited pos session of weapons.

PRIMARIES MAY

Continued from Page D

The primaries were originally to have been held the 24th, but lead- CTS decided on the earlier date to- day after receiving instructions from State Chairman John T. Mo- Carthy that all local primaries should be held by the 22d. Techni- cally the 18th district contest Is not "loca" contest, but holding the primary at the earlier date will al- low the holding of all conventions here on the 27th.
 Friends of MT. Tobin today were expressing confidence that MT. Lawlor would not enter contest on the 18th. Supporters of MT. Law Tor, on the other hand, declared that their candidate is still definite ly in the race, and in turn hinted that MT. Tobin might withdraw.
 No opposition is expected to the slates of deegates which the Demo- cratic organization vii file for the town convention, which will nom- mate candidates for representative. The same holds true for delegates who vii elect delegates to the state county, probate and congressional conventions.
 State Chairman Mccarthy noti- fled the town committee today that Waterbury will be entitled to 46 delegates in the state convention at Hartford Sept. IS and IS. This is five more than the city had two years ago.
 The executive board meeting to- night will be held at 8 o'clock. It will be followed by 8 meeting of the full town committee at 8:30.
