BY AL ABRAMS

PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The bril-
liant boxing career of Harry Be-
DO, giant colored heavyweight
came to a sudden end, at least
in the State Of Pennsylvania
last night when Chairman Leon
Rains OF the Pennsylvania
Athletic Commission, barred Be-
DO from boxing in his state de-
0laring in an Associated Press
report from Philadelphia, that a
doctors examination showed
Bobos vision impaired and some
eye completely gone"
The announcement of Bobo'S
disbarment from the ring, cane
practically on the eve of the
Rooney-McGinley -Company's an
nouncement that the former Pea
body High athlete had been
matched to meet Boo Pastor at
Forbes Field on September ID. Ne
gotiations for the match had been
under way for sometime and the
local. promoters had come to
terms with Jimmy Johnston,
Pastors manager,
VERY LITTLE VISION
A thorough examination given
BObo by DR.. M. r. Goldman on
Wednesday afternoon, which was
ordered by Commissioner Rains,
proved that Harry was almost
totally blind in his right eye, and
has only 1.-TWO or three per cent
vision there under certain condi-
tons"
DR.. Goldman, who is also the
local commission doctor, submit
ted his report by letter to Deputy
Commissioner Lou Shiring, who in
turn sent the report to Commits
sioner Rains in Philadelphia.
Il have submitted my report to
Deputy Shiring," Dr. Goldman
said over the telegram last night.
my job is to give the commission
my findings, but I do not recon-
mend whether fightre should go
into the ring or not.
My examination dicc1osed Bobo
almost totally blind in the right
eye, trauma condition or con-
fusion, Harry has only Q or 8 per
cent vision in the eye under GER
tain conditions, and a blow or
series of blows may impair the
left eye also. No athletic contest of
any kind is worth that much to
risk total interpretation
Chairman Rains action fol-
lowed the doctors report which
he first received by telephone. He
was also quoted by the Asso-
ciated Press as saying: 81 don't
care if the fight (Bobo- Pastor
would have drawn a million
dollars, I won't let Bobo go in
the ring again i'm his condition"

 Library Association
Local Psyctiatrist Speaks on Children in World at
 War; Miss Barrett Presides

If air raids should occur while children are in the libraries, the speaker told the librarians to deal with the emergency as a realism, to discuss the factors making up a raid, and not try to divert the youngsters against their wills. When they know the truth, play games, sing and let them forget" Dr. Gildea also urged the librarians to allow children to read reference and other books concerning present day events so they will not be brought up fin ignorance of what is going on"
 Treaty FavOrs U. s.
 Dr. McReynolds expressed the opinion that the state of armed neutrality now existing between Russia and Japan is definitely in favor of the United Nations. This situation will remain true, he said, until the U. s. Navy can make cer- tain of a sufficient flow of planes, tanks and supplies to enable Russia to fight Japan.
 Lack of definite policy on the part of the United Nations was blamed by Dr. McReynolds as the reason why India needed an expla- nation of the presence of American troops in India. He expressed the need for Pacific charter.
 Stressing the need for women la Dor in the war effort, Mrs. Wood house urged the librarians to aid in registration of women for war work by all libraries. She pointed. out that this year more than 1000, ,OOO women are needed with an addi- tional 100000 needed in 1943.
 MT. Mendenhall discussed the wide variety of material now avail able in the war collection at Yale University library. The material includes personal records, govern ment reports, camp papers, peace aims, and propaganda leaflets. He urged librarians to make similar col- lections in their localities.

 Family Patterns Changed
 pr. Gildea pointed out that whole patterns of family behavior have been changed due to shifting of the population around the country, the acute housing situation in some cities, and the irregularity of war work hours.
 There are numerous cases" stated Dr. Gildea, where the child is carrying the brunt of this situa- tion. In some families, she said both parents are going to work at irregular hours leaving children in charge of incompetent help, and in some cases entirely without atten- ton.

 EAST USES 100000 BARRELS DAY
 The governments chief today is not so much with the gasoline that motorists are foregoing, as with the fuel oil that heats civilian hotels apartments and houses For fuel oil also moves our warships and merchant vessels and freight trains heats fac tories and provides their power and is used in furnaces for annealing and hardening metals.
 The governments problem is how to bring the east its normal crude oil supply of 100000 barrels day with minimum use of tankers At present almost three-quarters of that supply is being brought in by other means, where formerly 95 per cent of pero leum products came to the east by tanker from the Gulf But the seaboard states daily supply is still about 325,OOo barrels short, and the limit of exist- ing transportation facilities is about reached.
