LaMotta Stops
 Hayes In Six

Detroit, Jan. 2S.-(UP)--Jake La Motta. the human truck, 1" was con sidered as being even more dan gerous today in his own middle weight division than as a trial horse for top-n0tch Swelters following last nights technical knockout over Charley Hayes, Detoit middleweight.
 La Motta, rugged New York i6O- pounder who last week upset Sgt. Jackie Wilson. welterweight con- tender, at Madison Square Garden, stopped Hayes in the sixth round of their scheduled iO-round bout be- fore 10000 fans at Olympia stadium.
 Ia Motta fioored Hayes for an eight-count with left hook to the jaw in the second round and bat- tered him groggy with Q series of lefts to the head in the sixth before Referee Elmer Mcclellan stopped the bout after PEST of the round.

, ring, battle in which anything can happen. We would not be surprised. If Wilson knocked out unbeaten Robinson within four rounds. Wa are not predicting such an outcome, mind you; we merely emphasize that we wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
 Despite wilson's unexpectedly lin- impressive showing aginst middle weight La Motta on Jan. 15, the sepia sergeant from Mitchell field is the most formidable all-round fighter 21-year-old Robinson ever faced. People who judge Wilson's abilities by his performance against GaMotta make the same mistake as those who estimated Joe Louis prowess on the basis of his first tilt with Max Schmeling.
 Wilson made no alibis for his La Motta defeat, but we have learned from friends at Mitchell Field that Sgt. Jackie was out of shape for the bout. He had been informed on the night of Jan. (Friday) that there would be no show at the Garden on Jan. 15 because Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia had withdrawn from his scheduled bout with Joey Per- alta. Accordingly, Wilson's engage ment with La Motta would be post poned to later date. Wilson broke training over the week end, and when he learned later that his bout with La Motta had been re-sched- t,led, he tried to whip himself into condition in a hurry. But, because of his duties at Mitchell Field, he could get in but two days of boxing.
 Moreover, in making the match with La Motta, Wilson's handlers had permitted the rugged middle weight to come in at 161 pounds, l6 more than Wilson. La Motta was at full strength and enjoying weight advantage forbidden by the New York commissions code, which lim- its the advantage in middleweight bout to IS pounds. Robinson's ham dlers were smarter for his bout with La Motta last October. They forced La Motta to pare down to 156. That weight-making made big difference to big Jake.
 wilson was out of condition, ring rusty and handicapped by an H. legal weight margin when he fought La Motta. Even in the early rounds, when he still had gas, he was of on his timing and judgment of dis tance. Only in Q few brief hurries did he show the signs of greatness that he displayed in other bouts.
 Should Be Sharp
 But Sgt. Jackie should be sharp for Robinson on Feb. l9. He hasn't had a furlough since he joined the Army last summer. He expects one shortly SO that he can concentrate properly on training. Moreover, Robinson will be welterweight op- ponent of Wilson's poundage and a stand-up boxer of the type relished by Sgt. Jackie. It will be 8 grudge fight from gong to gong, because wilson has been bounding Robinson for more than a year. Young Rob- inson, making his last fight as a civilian before entering the Army, will try to extend his string to 45 professional victories.
 It shapes up like grand brawl between two classy scrappers, both of whom are brilliant boxers and eX- plosive punchers. Scallions to its critics.

The North End Aces nosed out their North End rivals, the Falcon A. c. 25-23 playing Thursday eve- ming at the North End "" hut. The game was a nip and tuck af- fair but the play of Jackson high scorer with II points along with Rinaldi, Bosco and Valleto's points apiece told the story. Mellot and Midgelowski featured for the losers with 8 and 6 points respectively. The Aces played without the serv- ices of "Babe'' D,AglIstino, "Doc" Summa and F. Steffinli but will be at full strength when they meet ''Bob,s 5' Monday evening in Q feature clash. This marks the opening of the second round "Vic- tory'' league and Aces winers of the first round with six straight, they expect stiff opposition from ''Bob's 5'' and the ''Enkcors."

Greek Units ExpeI Nazis
From Mi. Parnassus Area

Groups fighting the Axis in
Greece have cleared the Germans
out Of region northwest of Mount
Parnassus and are operating the
territory as an independent unit,
Andre Michalopoulos, former Min
lister of Information in the Greek
Government, reported here yester-
day.
The Greek resistance is closely
related to the prospects of an Al
| lied invasion of the Balkans. Mr..
Michalopoulos said in an interview
that the antiAXis group in Greece
Is managed by central committee,
whose leaders name is kept secret.
/ italian weapons are used by some
of the Greeks, he said. and Allied
channels regularly supply light arms
Some Italians gave up their guns
to Greeks after the Italian surren-
der in return for being escorted to
the Adriatic coast for escape to their
own country. However several
thousand Italians are said to have
been interned in Greece by the Ger
mans.
Mr.. Michalopoulos said it was
vital for the future stability OF
Greece and other European coun-
tries that the United States and
Great Britain Jointly collaborate
with the Soviet Union. The ab-
sence OF such community of &C
ton among the greater powers, he
feared, would cause disastrous d.
versence of views among the people
in Greece and the other countries.

Italy Is Still Subject
To Armistice Terms,
Law Tells Commons
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 13.-Minister of
State Richard K. Law, speaking to
the House of Commons today prior
to the announcement Of Italy's dec
laration Of war, asserted that the
change in Italy's status would mean
that she will be fighting a common
enemy. but still will be bound by the
armistice with the United Nations.
This situation can best be de-
scribed as 'cobelligerent,' but 1t does
not, however, in any way affect the
validity of the armistice terms" Mr..
Law declared
The Minister of States explana-
ton answered Comdr. Sir Archibald
Richard Southby's request for as
surance that the use of the phrase
"cobelligerent" implied no intent to
treat Italy as an ally instead of a
defeated enemy in view of the loss
OF life and the suffering caused by
the Italo-German alliance.
Atrocity Charges Probed.
Mr.. Laws appearance in Commons
to answer the question for Anthony
Eden, Foreign Secretary, was the
first disclosure that the Minister OF
State had returned from the United
States.
Mr.. Law also said that atrocity
charges against Gems. Vittorio Am
brosio and Mario Roatta, members
of the government of Premier Ba-
doglio, are being investigated by the
Allies, and If the accusations are
we'll founded appropriate action"
will be taken.
Asked if they would be allowed to
remain members of the government
while the inquiry was in progress,
Mr.. Law said
L think we must await the result
OF the investigation.'
Has No Official Word.
Mr.. Law said he had seen press
reports that Roatta was on the
YugoSlav governments list of war
criminals, but that no official COM
munication to this effect had been
received by the British government.
The Minister Of State explained
that the reference to King Victor
Emmanuel as Emperor of Ethiopia"
in the Badoglio decree Of September
% was inserted by mistake by an
Italian underling after the King and
premier Badoglio had signed and
countersigned it. Assurance has
been received that the King in the
future will be referred to only as
the King of Italy"

Joint Statement
Cooperation Of ItoIy
In War Accepted
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The teTt OF joint statement bu
President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Churchill and Premier JOS
eph Stain on the declaration OF
,Odr by Italy against Germany
tollo,US:'
The Governments of Great Brit
ain, the United States and the
Soviet Union acknowledge the posi-
ton of the Royal Italian Govern
ment as stated by Marshal Badoglic
and accept the active cooperation
OF the Italian nation and armed
forces as a cobelligerent in the war
against Germany
The military events since Septem-
ber 8 and the brutal maltreatment
by the Germans of the Italian popu-
lation, eliminating in the Italian
declaration Of war against Ger
many, have in fact made Italy CO.
belligerent and the American. Brit
ish and Soviet Governments will
continue to work with the Italian
Government on that basis.
The three governments acknowl-
edge the Italian governments pledge
to submit to the will of the Italian
people after the Germans have been
driven from Italy, and it is under
stood that nothing can detract from
the absolute and untrammeled right
of the people of Italy by constitu-
tional means to decide on the demo-
cratic form of government they will
eventually have
The relationship Of co-belligeren-
cy between the governments of Italy
and the United Nations governments
cannot of itself affect the terms re-
Gently signed, which retain their full
force and can only be adjusted by
agreement between the Allied gov
ernments in the light of the assist
ance which the Italian government
may be able to afford to the United
Nations cause.
