No Shortage
 0f Hof Air
By SPOON RIVER SAM

The Presidents talk to Congress was supposed to be on the state of the Union, but he usually don't stick to that subject, and it's just as well he don't change now.
 At this writing the Union seems to be in state of high dudgeon l don't know whether the people are just trying to keep warm or what but the big American mouth is wide open, and the words are pouring cut hot and furious.
 Instead of directing our mad on at Hitler or Hirohito, we're squabbling amongst ourselves hol- lering about egimentation, bur- eaucracy, dictator powers, rationing shortages, or anything else that comes in handy.
 There's one thing you can count on. This country will never have a lungpower shortage The way we keep ranting 24 hours a day, we act like we're lit up on vitamins.
 We're all right at heart, of course but we squawk too much-just like I'm doing in this piece We love our fellow man, we say, but just let him step on our toes and vel knock his blame head off.

YOUTHS STAR IN CLEAN-CUT
 FILM NOW ON
20th Century Opening To- night of The Gangs
 All Here"

Opening tonight at the 20th Gen. tury playhouse for two-day run is The Gangs All Here"-an all- youth star production.
 Frankie Darro heads the large cast, which includes such capable actors as Jackie Moran. Marcia Mae Jones, Keye Luke and Man. tan Moreland. Although Darro and Moreland make the strongest im- pressions because of their more important roles, Jean Marlborough has done a strong job of direction and each character stands out as clear-cut and definite.
 The story, an original by Ed mond Kelso, relates how Darro and Moreland apply for jobs as truck drivers with large firm-and step smack into the middle of a vicious trucking war. It is concerned main ly with their battles against hi- jackers and their efforts to clean up a large-scale insurance swindle.

 E. J. FLYNN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-Samuel Foley, Bronx district attorney, to- day denied emphatically before the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee that he had improperly con- ducted the Grand Jury which cleared Edward Flynn in the so- called New York City Paving Block Case.
 Foley was the second witness as the committee resumed the inves- tigation Of Hymns qualifications for appointment as minister to Australia.
 Foley said that the Grand Jury had heard no evidence that Flynn knew the paving of his courtyard had been done with New York City owned materials and labor.
 The Senators asked Foley nu- merous questions and when Sena- tor Tydings finally inquired: ITO sum it all up, there was no evil dence in the Grand Jury room to show constructive or direct know ledge on the part of MT Flynn or that he knew what was taking place?"

ALLIES IN FORMATION,
 1943 PLANS
Many New Comprehensive Steps Believed Now
 Being Taken

LONDON, Jan. 22.--Decisions of the United Nations in their le43 world strategy are believed to be in the making here at the moment.
 Topping the list will be the cre- ation of a genuine Allied War Council, including representatives of the United States, Britain. So- viet Union, China.
 The second important measure discussed is the quick settlement of the North African political squabble and the consolidation of British American command in North Africa.
 Future operations, it is believed, will be designed for the opening of second front in Europe.
 A coordination of all efforts of all United Nations in a simultane- ous drive by sea, land and air dur ing l943 to finish off the Axis be- fore the end of the year if pos sible, and at any rate, by l944, was another point in the program.
 Another is a concerted campaign on the seven seas to put the Allies on the offensive, even in the use of undersea craft, with which they are on the defensive at present.
 There seems to be an unusual air of expectancy and optimism in high quarters here, despite politi- cal and military tribulations in North Africa
 Admiral Stark, Commander of the U. S. Naval Forces in European waters, and Ambassador Winant are regarded as possibly being re- lated to these matters.
 It is believed that such compre- hensive steps already have been or are being taken now.

Thereu be no more catchers. in

as pitchers in the International
League.
President Frank ]. Shaughnessy
today ruled that, starting Sunday,
managers in his loop will be per-
mitted to send to the mound only
those players whose names appear
on the ofncial roster as pitchers. He
said the restriction was being i'm
posed because some games this sea-
son have been turned into farces
through the use of catchers, out
fielders and inielders on the mound.
He gave Baltimore's l9-to-7 VIC
tory over Rochester on July 20 as an
example. In that fray Manager Pep
per Martin Of the Redwings took up
the pitching duties in the third and
walked flve Of the first six men to
face him. Martin later was relieved

as League, which stepped aside this
year rather than brave transporta-
ton difficulties and possible heavy
financial loss, plans to resume next
season.
This, of course, is contingent upon
no reversals on the fighting front
Most of the clubs think suspen-
sion was a fortunate move.
The manpower situation WASH t
the chief reason" said League Pres
ident J. Alvin Gardner.
Gardner, who does extensive trav-
cling with his oil business, can re-
port first hand on transportation
and lodging difficulties.
One official felt laying off a year
would result in a revival OF fan
interest, that the people would
learn to appreciate baseball more
when they didn't have it at their
fingertips. Also, he said, all clubs
will start with clean slate-rid of
some well-Worn fellows who were
slowing down the game-and spec
ulation on the ability of many new
players will bring the people to the
parks.
The league quit in good condition.

District Boy tackles
Fast Cockfie|d, Vet
Meets Keen Ayj|es

Danny Petro's return to ring war
fare and the appearance of that in
destructible fighter, Chalky Wright,
are the big attractions that figure to
lure sizeable throng to Promoter
Joe Turner's boxing program to-
morrow night at Grifhth Stadium.
Also helping with the promise of
a big crowd is that this Is the first
fight night in three weeks and the
folk are hungry for a good show, as
this figures to be. Likewise, Turner
isn't being crowded this time by the
next booking Of his rival promoter,
Goldie Ahearn, who isn't scheduled
for another engagement until Au-
gust "a.
Wright in Ring Since 1928.
Chalky has been fighting since
1923, according to Nat Fleischer's
record book, but still goes on as
strong as ever. Tomorrow night he
meets Angel Aviles, Mexico's gay
caballero, in one of two feature To-
FOUNDERS, In the other Of which,
Petro and Johnny Cockfleld of New
York will mix.
This probably is Chalky's last fight
for some time at least. He goes into
the maritime service shortly. He is
no stranger to Washington. He lifted
the featherweight championship
from joey Archibald here by knock
ing out Joey in the 18th round and
ne also won a 10-rounder over Leo
Kodak, both in 194l.
His opponent, Aviles, is 81 and has
been fighting for three years with an
eye toward the feather crown. In
workouts at Turner's Arena he ap-
pears fast puncher with either
hand, shifting from the regular
stance to southpaw stance as the
occasion demands.
Petro to Face Veteran.
Petro is making his first start
since being kocked out by Jackie
Wilson two months ago. 1t was
Danny's first kayo, he having relied
on a chilling left hand to dispose Of
most opponents before Wilson. In
Cockfield he's meeting an expert
enced fighter. who is favored in the
early odds. Petro's left hasn't lost
any Of its power, however and
Danny says he's added somewhat to
his boxing skill since the Wilson
lesson.
