Joe Needs Cash
So Singing Wife
Challenges Stage
BY lack CUDDY

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 (UP1 -
Slender, almond-eyed Marva Louis
wife of the heavyweight champ
ion-will go on the stage in Deem
Der, because she and Sergeant Joe
need cash.
Mrs. Louis, an attractive golden
brown girl in a fitted black crepe
dress, announced this today at the
Theresa hotel in Harlem.
Although champion Joe took down
purses totalling S2.374,866 during
his busy ring career, the LouiSes
now have no income, she said. Joe's
earnings ceased when he entered
the army in January. 1912. Mean
while their heavy expenses con-
tinued
We're not broke We have cer-
tain properties md other possess
sions. But they provide no income;
and the properties must be kept up.
And we have other commitments,
such as two large families to take
care of-and the expense of keep
ing my two nieces in college" she
said.
Then Marva chuckled, juggling
her silver earrings and necklace.
And I almost forgot-there's JAG

LouiSes eight-month-old daughter.
She is in New York with mamma
Mrs. Louis explained, lat first
Joe didn't want me to go on the
stage. But he finally consented. 1t
seemed the only way 1 could earn
a fair amount of money. People
who should know thought l had
some talent. I had helped enter

area, and the reactions were favor
able. So here I am
Marva will make her debut in
December as a vaudeville song

whom she does not know yet. That's
up to her manager, Bill Graham.
Meanwhile she is working eight

is studying under Del Lambert, a

HERE We GO AGAIN
BY
THE OLD OBSERVER

Jim Thorpe, tne great SdfiiSlS
Indian, still is considered the great
est all-around athlete of all time.
He ran the ten yeards in 10
seconds. He high jumped to new
record of his day. He could throw
the javelin, shot and discus as far
as the next one, but it was in foot
ball where the great Indian became
the athletic immortal.
Most al lof the trickery of modern
football is credited which have
originated with Old Jim, the Red
Terror of another day.
Around the winter firesides, old
timers still talk of the famous
Carlisle-Army game of 1912. 1t was
then he turned in probably the
most remarkable performance ever
seen on the gridiron, before or
since.
In that game Thorpe took the
Army's kickoff behind his own
goal line. AS he started down the
| field he evaded one Army tackler
after another. After he had shaken
off the last tackler he loafed ahead
of the Army field just fast enough
to keep out of their grasp, al
though it was obvious that he could
lose them any time he desi red. For
the full length of the field he ran
that kickoff to a touchdown. But
officials ruled an off-side, nullify
the run, making another kickoff
mandatory.
And then it happened. Thorpe
stood behind his own goal line
again. He smothered yawn with
his hand. AS the ball sailed into
his arms from the Army kickoff
he did exactly the same thing he
had done but few moments be-
fore. He ran the ball the length of
the field for a touchdown. And
the second time it was good
In 1911 Thorpe romped all over
Harvard by himself, and as in the
subsequent Army game, it was
Thorpe against the field. He KICK
ed four field goals, two of them for
more than 40 yards.
Whoever Carlisle met, it was the
same old story. Tt was Thorpe
against eleven other men. And he
usually made the opposition look
silly.
After Thorpe's 1912 olympic
games medals were nullified be-
cause it was discovered he had ac-
cepted $25 for playing in semi
pro baseball game, the medals were
offered to the runner-up, H. Wels-
lander, of Sweden. Weislander re-
fused them.
They belong to the greatest ath-
lete in the world" Weislander told
the King of Sweden, and that man
is Jim Thorpe
The years were not KIND TO the
temperamental Indian. He tried
motion pictures, and scores of other
ventures after he left professional
baseball and football, and finally
had to dig on a WPA project for
livelihood.
But now, the sun of his career
having long set, Old Jim is report
ed to have a good spot in mid
dlewest defense industry.

Declaring he was tired of baseball,
second baseman Joe Gordon of the

ed he would not rejoin the team
next year.
After dropping thet verbal bomb
shell, Gordon hustled off into the
Oregon wilds on hunting trip to
rest up from the World Series.
which he helped win for the Yanks.
Sitting in the kitchen of his
modest home in Eugene. Gordon
was asked about spring training
next year. He answered:
We'll there won't be any spring
training. And if there is, l won't
be there. I'm tired of baseball.
I'm just tired of the living con-
ditions that go with baseball in the
east l don't like to be separated
from my family and I miss this
oregon climate. I like to get out
in the woods and wear old clothes.
It's no fun riding the trains in
wartime"
Some close friends here believed
he would join the University of
Oregon physical education staff. A
graduate of Oregon, Gordon would
be an instructor in the army ply
sical fitness program.
Others feel he might jump at the
chance to work in the war effort
because he was greatly disappointed
that his age and family circum-
stances prevented him from using
his plotting experience in the air
corps of the navy.
He also has a winter job in a
Eugene feed mill, vital work in this
area of poultry and turkey raising.

Stass Says Bowl
Bid Chance Slim
By ROGER JOHNSON

STOCKTON, Oct. 20. (UP)-AmoS
Alonzo Stagg is not day-dreaming
about the chances of his unbeaten
College of Pacific Tigers being in
vited to represent the west in the
Pasadena Rose Bowl New Years
day.
Don't forget that we have to
play Southern California at Los
Angeles Saturday-and they're un-
defeated, too" the 31-year-old Pac-
ific coach told me today. THE Tro-
jams should be given the edge over
us because they have more re-
serves and tremendous backfield
speed.
Anyway" he continued, II un-
derstand the Pacific coast confer
ence votes for the western repre-
sentative in the Rose Bowl, so our
chances are remote, even though we
might go through without losing a
game"
32-MAN SQUAD
Stagg is intensely proud of his 80
man squad which pulled the great
est upset of the season by whip
ping the All-AmericanS from Del
Monte navy pre-flight, 16 to 7, here
last Saturday.
Most of the players, including
Johnny Podesto from Modesto, the
rifle-arm pasSer, are m a r ine
trainees. Others are in the navy
Viz program and few still wear
civilian garb.
These boys compare favorably
with any of the outstanding squads
had at the University of Chicago
before the last war" Stagg assert
ed. They just keep fighting. They
don't expect to be beaten and don't
intend to. TIL fact that they've
won four out of their five victor
les in the fourth quarter demon
strates this
In his 54 years of coaching, the
silvery- haired veteran believes he
has never seer bettr tackle than
Art McCaffray, marine trainee
from Santa Clara.
HARD HITTER
He is very earnest and con-
boy" Stagg said. You
don't have to drive him. He works
SO hard in practice he broke the
steel spring on our blocking
machine Now he's gone to work
on another machine, and I'm
afraid he'll break the spring on that
one, too"
Podesto amazes Stagg more every
week
Johnny is so quiet that some
times / wonder whether he hears
my instruction. When he goes into
action, I know that he does

editorial on Thursday indicating
that the three-cornered talks
would not deal with political
problems but only with the prose-
cution OF the war.
Washington official quarters
are puzzled at the completely un-
expected viewpoint taken by the
Russian government.
Like the British delegation, the
American group is composed ex-
clusively Of diplomats who know
nothing about military affairs.
There is one American general
attached to the delegation, but
he Is not considered a specialist
on war planning. Until a few
weeks ago he held 4 subordinate
job in the general stan. His chief
duties were to keep minutes and
plan meetings rather than discuss
the strategy Of the war.
Secretary of State Hull organ
lied his own company in the
Spanish American War in which
he fought with distinction. But
he does not claim any military
knowledge. On the contrary, he
Is one of the few important high
officials in Washington who has
kept strictly away from armchair
strategy and has never ventured,
oflcially or on the record, any
opinion as to how the war should
be fought.
Missions Are Diplomatic.
Among the rest of his advisers
and technicians there is only one
with = perfunctory military
experience, James Clement Dunn,
political adviser to Mr.. Hull Mr..
Dunn served in the last war as
assistant naval attache in Cuba
with q reserve commission of
lieutenant, junior grade.

The Great Game of Politics.

tenn of free enterprise can be pre-
served unimpaired and a prosperity
greater than ever experienced will
follow.
No one expects ever to see taxes
again as low as they were Is years
ago, but a tax reduction following
the war seems essential to those who
feel that our system cannot be saved
by New Deal deficit spending, but
must depend on peace, as it has in
war, upon the vigor and strength Of
American industry. Except from the
professional spenders, there will
hardly be any dispute about that.
Nor will many contend that industry
can be strong after the war unless
there is a free fow of capital into
production. Under present tax
schedules this would be impossible.
Capital simply would not be avail
able under those schedules and 1t
does not take much of an expert to
know it.
Prudent Policy Needed.
A tax reduction after the war. It
is argued, will be forced by public
demand. The idea is that it will not
come as soon as the fighting stops.
but it will come within a reasonably
short period. And, If e general gov
ernmental policy calculated to re-
lease industry from its handicaps is
adopted, there should be no difficulty
about the debt. If, it Is predicted by
some, we follow q prudent policy,
there Is no reason We should not be
able to start paying off the debt a
year or so after the war. One au-
thority estimates tnat our annual
national income after peace comes
will be in excess Of $l50,00O 900 900
and even with considerable tax re-
duction, the Treasury could collect
more than enough to meet all rea-
sonable expenditures.
Only, it is contended, if the Gov
ernment insists upon pouring money
down every rat hole 1t can find, here
and abroad, will it be able to keep
the budget from being balanced.
What this all amounts to is that if,
for the years following the war, we
can be assured Of sound and sensi-
BILE administration. the financial in
OF the Nation can be pre-
served and the perils of reputation
and imitation be completely elimi-
mated. And if we do not get that
kind of administration they will not
be-which makes this 1914 election
very important to all of us.
Evening star., 1943-10-15

which we came out OF the last
war. 1t is a fabulous and staggering
sum, which the human mind can
scarcely conceive and the weight
of which cannot be accurately esti-
mated. If it can be swung, then
our system can be saved. If it can
not be swung, then our whole Fed
eral structure will bog down and
we will be afflicted with a period
Of pretty awful economic chaos.
The fact that there is today less
public concern about our prospec-
tive 800 billion debt than there
was before the war over a 40 bill
lion debt does not mean that con-
Germ then was not justified nor that
there is not now far greater reason
for concern. The explanation, of
course, is that no one can stop to
argue about the size of the debt in
the middle OF a great war.
Must Pay the Cost.
Whatever the cost of winning We
have got to pay it. Once victory is
ours. the effort to recover sufficient
equilibrium to stand the strain can
be made. 1t cannot be made now,
and there Is no use making the at
tempt, beyond exerting pressure
against needless waste and for econ
omy in non-war Governmental
activities.
What is encouraging, however, is
that so many of our outstanding
industrialists and financial authori-
ties are fully convinced that If,
once the war is over, a sound finan-
cial policy is adopted by the Gov
eminent, the dangers inherent in
50 stupendous debt burden can be
averted and real stability achieved.
This cannot be done, however, 1t is
pointed out, If the course favored
by the extreme New Dealers pre-
walls. To them neither the size of
the debt nor the amount of taxes is
of primary Importance. They oper-
ate on the comforting theory that
taxes are nothing but money which
you take from one individual and
pay to another and the debt is moth
ing to worry about because we owe
it to ourselves
If any such absurd ideas are to
prevail in the postwar period, then
we will be in for very terrible time,
indeed. On the contrary, it is held
that the way the tax problem is
handled will determine how much
production and how much employ
ment there will be. With intelligent
direction Of these things, the sys-

tactics and strategy and lengthy
arguments about when and where
the American and British armies
should attack next.
We are told that the American
and British delegates are being
sent to Moscow principally to
have preliminary discussions with
high Soviet oficials to pave the
ground for = me citing of the
three chiefs Of state. When the
conference was decided on it was
believed that their Job would be
to iron out q number Of minor
questions as far as actual prose-
cution Of the war Is concerned,
but important as far as the back
ground for future agreements are
involved. Hence the exclusively
diplomatic character of the two
missions.
No one here inquired as to
what kind Of group would repre-
sent the Soviets. 1t was not
necessary since they were at
home and could draw any amount
OF men into the conversations.
Moreover, the Soviet insistence
on holding the meetings in Mos
COW was due to the fact that
Stain wanted to be on hand to
direct the discussions OF his
representatives.
Causes Some Concern.
1t has been logically assumed
in Washington and London that
the three foreign secretaries
would attempt to lay the founda-
tions for postwar world confer
ence to be held early next year
and that the trfpartite gathering
would deal exclusively with the
many problems confronting the
Allies after the Axis has been
defeated.
But it was not even vaguely
suspected that the former Span
ish-American War captain who
is now Secretary of State and the
former major in the British Army
who Is now the British foreign
secretary would be called to in
dulge in high strategy with the
Russians.
This might have been the case
had President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, sur
rounded by top generals and ad-
mirals, gone to Moscow instead
OF the heads of what Is now gen.
orally called the combined De
partment of Peace"
The announcement from Mos
cow has caused serious concern
in responsible Washington quar-
tiers. If the Russians intend to
discuss how to win the war
quickly with Capt. Hull and Maj.
Eden then the long trip which
our Secretary reluctantly decided
to take will be completely use
less.
