Mention in the press of the Army draft board examination of Tony Galerto, the Orange, N. J. NIGHT STICK, as he has been affectionate- ly tagged before and after flooring Jce Louis, recalls the time he was known in fistic circles as the Newark ICEMAN, coming to Waterbury on two occasions to exhibit his ques- tionable skill. Antonio has the heart" of a lion, but that's all, ex- cept potent punch, when his foe does not move around too fast for his 260 pounds to follow.
 Galento has proved to be what the sports scribes call GOOD COPY for several years. His famous Louis is Bum" crack was something until Joe got off the floor and nearly MURDERED the Orange ORAN- GOUTANG in the next round--then it BACKFIRED like wheezy motor. However, one of his many quips that like best is this one: "A kids fool, to leave school, be- fore he's gone through Yale AND Harvard"

failed to halt single truckload,
1t was revealed today.
However, there are indications
that the authorities, including
Prosecutor William f. Bowling,
have penetrated near the bottom
of the rum-running ring. Prosecu-
tons are expected.
Bowling said the inquiry has rot
reached point permitting public
revelation of the evidence uncov-
cred so far.
MUCH BROUGHT IN
II can say nothing at this
time, except that considerable
liquor has been brought into
Michigan illegally from at least
one neighboring state" the
prosecutor said.
The last rIm-running arrest on
record was a year ago. At that
time Sam Rubenstein was arrested
by federal authorities on a charge
OF violating the tax laws by snug
Cling liquor into Detroit for re-
sale. He Is free under bond pend
ing grand jury action.
Despite the lack of arrests. il
was learned that whisky poured
into Michigan from Illinois during
three or four months prior to

The shortage of fast-selling
brands made the racket possible.
