program today pondered the
advisability of inquiring into
the more than 100" cartel agree
ments 1. G. Farbenindustrie, power
full German dye trust, has made
with American concerns.
Chairman Harry S. Truman, D.,
Mo-, said the group probably will
go into a number of the arrange
ments but said it would be OBJ
viously impossible" to investigate
all of them.
Their existence was disclosed by
Assistant Attorney General Thur

with one arrangement-that be-
tween Standard Oil of New Jersey
and Farben which, he charged, has
frustrated creation of a synthetic
rubber industry in this country.
Farbens tie-ups with American
industry, he warned, are widespread
and have been used by Adolf Hitler
to hamper production of vital and
critical materials here.

Young said officials OF the road
had defended their opposition to
routing . through train vie central
imperial valley by stating that such
a service would upset their sched-
ulCS.
BRAWLFV SPEAKS Up
But schedules are beside the
point hC said, and this instantly
won the support Of Charles Nice Of
BraWlcY who declared:
present schedules and what a
through train to serve the valley
would Go TO them is no valid argu-
ment. The roads schedules call fol-
carrying passengers over a route
that offers no,hing in the way OF
scenic beauty, nor any chance for
increased traffic.
Both Young and Nice cited the
tremendous freight revenues enjoy
ed by the Southern Pacific from
/ the valleys nNjlti-million dollar veg
eta5lc crops, and said that even
though 4 through passenger service
might result in a small deficit tc

assault, in which the British sought
to wreck the Loire river lock gate
by ramming it with a dynamite-fi L.
ed former American destroyer, was
uncertain pending return of the
attack forces to their base.
Dispatches from Vichy said the
British were partly successful and
that stranded groups of Canadian
parachutists were reported holding
out in buildings near the river this
afternoon, although presumably
without hope of reinforcement and
doomed to be overwhelmed.
The British communique said that
there had been a small" raid on
st. Nazaire by land, sea and air
forces.
The German cOmmunique, which
first reported the British raid, claim
ed that the attack failed with loss
of the former American destroyer, 13
small boats, probably 100 prisoners
and considerable casualties.
LONG-RANGE BASE
The British attack was designed
to knock out base from which
German U-boats have ranged as
far as the United States eastern
| coast, but it also was intended to
keep up the pressure on the enemys
western front and thus weaken the
Nazi spring attack in Russia.
British airplanes continued their
spring aerial offensive despite bad
weather, striking at naval inStalla-
tionS at Helgoland. Four RAF planes
we're lost.

Berger, Canadian Champ Twice, Faces Robinson Friday

New York, Feb. Flew are the fighters in action today who have been seen by more ring fans than Maxie Berger, former Canadian lightweight and walterweight cham pion who opposes Ray Robinson, undefeated Harlemite, in l2- round match at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
 Berger has had close to 100 fights as a professional performer in Can ada and various parts of the United States. He has been an ace drawing card at the clubs around New York and few years ago boxed total of 16 times as main eventer at the New York Coliseum. Those 16 fights took place within 12-month period and attracted total of 18,000 spectators, for an average of better than 11,000 a show.
 The strange part about this rec ord is that Berger was thoroughly because he was so consistent win disliked by Coliseum fans-disliked see him get whipped. He had few ner that the customers wanted to soft touches, most of his opponents rafting high in flstic circles. But he kept defeating them just the same and the fans tired of seeing him coming out in front.
 Like Leach Cross, Berger profited from this attitude on the parts of the fans. He continued tog i've them good fights, they continued to come out to see him licked.
 Other Way Around?
 But on Friday night Berger is likely to enjoy tn enovel experience of finding himself favored by the fans. Tn this case it will be Robin son who enters the ring with a long string of unbroken successes and it will be Berger who is the underdog
 Many of the same fans who in the past rooted for Berger's opponent will, in the Garden clash, be roofing for Berger.
 Tt will be sort of unusual to have the fans cheering for me" says Maxie, but with me or against me, expect to win. I think I have the style to defeat Robinson and I'm in excellent shape. I've wanted to box him for a long time and now that the chance is here I don't expect to huff it."
 Both Berger and Robinson were slated to wind up their preparations today. Berger at Stillman's gym here, and Robinson at his camp in Greenwood Lake, N. Y.
