MARTINIQUE APPEASEMENT
How tolerant we have been Of the
French island of Martinique, for two
years thumbing its nose at US with
in bombing distance Of the Panama
canal. is illustrated by a converse
ton which took place between the
state departments Sam Reber and
treasury department officials.
Reber had gone to Martinique to
negotiate with Vichy Admiral Robert
regarding the airplane carrier,
cruisers and six oil tankers rusting
in Martinique waters. Subsequent
ly. the state department announced
that an agreement had been reached
with Admiral Robert whereby these
ships would be turned v to the
U. S. A. Months have passed. how
ever. with no result.
After state department envoy
Reber returned, treasury officials
asked him:
What about the gold in Marti-
tl1IuS. "lldl 10 ~ bSSOlllS VI lilot.
They referred to Is billions Of gold
francs still stored in Martinique.
oh" replied Reber, that didn't
come up"
Wasn't it even mentioned?"
asked treasury officials, who remem-
bered how France had defaulted on
her debts from World War I, still
owing US several billion dollars.
NO" replied Reber, did you
think it would be safer up here?"
well, it certainly isn't very safe
down there" countered the treasury.
I'VE decided" replied Reber.
that we didn't want to do anything
which might infringe on the SOW
ereignty Of France"
That ended the matter. The gold
is still in Martinique, and Admiral
Robert, who apparently isn't much
impressed by the subtleties of state
department appeasement, has con-
tinued to thumb his nose at the
United States.

could have beaten Harry Greb, when
both were at their best. for Greb
had too much speed and was even
rougher than Dempsey was. Yet
Greb had trouble with such smaller
fellows as Tiger Flowers and sew
eral others, who also had speed.
Against that, I'd say that Demp-
sey would have had an even chance
with Joe Louis for this one reason
he could take a punch around the
head better. I'm talking of the
Dempsey of Toledo, "a years old, 1855
pounds of punching dynamite, who
was also fast.
There isn't any matter Of game
ness Or heart mixed up in this. When
1t comes to taking a hard punch you
either ear or you can't. Some of
the gamest fighters I eve knew
couldn't take a punch.
Tough Ranking
TN tell you how tough it is to
rank fighters" the always genial
Doc continued.
Il couldn't name you a greater
fighter than Jack johnson.
But johnson had trouble with
Sam Langford, and after their first
meeting let Langford alone. On the
other hand, Langford, another great
fighter, met 1s9-pound Jack Black
burn seven times without any great
success. Sam will even show you
some teeth Blackburn knocked out.
You see where that leads us
from johnson, weighing 210 pounds.
to Blackburn, weighing 139 pounds,
and who looked that weight when
facing Langford at ITO pounds. John
son, and I say again that he was
one Of the greatest I ever saw, out
weighed Blackburn by some 80
pounds, and yet. was no better
against Langford than the far lighter
and smaller man."

Pound for Pound

What about Harry Greb. at his
best, and Stanley Ketchel?" I asked
Kearns. Pound for pound. were
there any two greater?"
Both were great" Kearns said.
But here again you have two diff
ferent styles. The Greb that almost
assassinated Gene Tunney and Tom
Gibbons, before his eyes went bad,
was a whirlwind. I'm not sure
Ketchel, as good as he was, could
have ever nailed him.
But if you are talking about
pound-for-pound stars, I'll slip you
pair Bob Fitzsimmons and
Mickey Walker. Don't forget that
Fitz weighed in around 1853 pounds
for Corbett. And he was worlds
heavyweight champion after that
scrap. Mickey Walker was not even
a middleweight. But I know of more
than one worlds heavyweight cham
pion he could have beaten.
For another example. I don't be-
lieve Joe Louis would have given
Dempsey any more trouble than
Mickey Walker would have given
Jack. Crazy? All right. But we
come again to a matter of styles.
Mickey Walker would have given
Dempsey all the trouble in sight.
The Peacemaker
Here's a funny story" Kearns
said, that few know. BY getting
me out of a fight for nothing, 1 got
Dempsey into fights worth millions.
II was having an argument in a
San Francisco barroom with a big
Swede named Hansen. An ex-hobo,
who had lost most of his fights, was
sitting in the corner, all alone. His
name was Dempsey. I finally
slugged the Swede, and the Swede
slugged me back. About that time
this kid Dempsey got up. took me by
the arm and led me out. The Swede
had go pounds on me. so I wasn't
sore. 1t was that night we decided
to work together, although my pals
told me I was cuckoo. l think the
first move l made took US both to
the top. Dempsey had been right
hand crazy. turned him into a
left-hand hooker by tieing his right
hand to his side and using only his
left. 1t was Dempsey's left that led
on to some $40, 600, 900 in gate re-
ceipts."
Great Light,veights
There has been a rather weird
scramble lately involving mixed
weights.
BY this we mean the top drawing
cards of the day-Willie Pep, a
featherweight, around 128 pounds
Johnny Greco, a lightweight, with a
displacement Of 131 pounds-Beau
Jack, another lightweight who can
make 135 pounds-Fritzie Zivic, .
welterweight at lat pounds.
II don't are what they weigh, as
long as the crowd wants to see 'em
fight" That's Mike Jacobs rebuttal.

GERMANS RANGE AIMED

Attack; Two BOmbers

BY NED RUSSELL

UNITED Press staff Correspondent
With the British Eighth
Army in the Mareth Line,
March %. - 20 a. n.y. -
(Delayed) - CUP - Smoke
rolled across the battle field
as Axis SO and 210-millimeter
shells screeched overhead
and burst terrifyingly. Ger
mans and some Italians who
had chung to machine-gun
posts and Isolated pill boxes by
passed In our advance stepped up
their fire. Shippers hiding in slit
trenches, gullies and clumps Of
shrubbery Joined in.
The German counter-attack was
on.
That was shortly after noon yes
terday. This morning the battle Is
still In full swing after night Of
fierce and bloody fighting, but the
weary British troops are holding
doggedly to their bridgehead in the
rolling, broken hills that harbor
the Mareth Line.
The Germans directed their vio-
lent artillery and mortar barrage
at concentrations Of British trucks,
tanks and Bren gun carriers at
tempting to exploit the British
bridgehead.
About 2:SO p. m, German Mark
8 and Mark 4 tanks and support
ing infantry pushed toward the
marshy Chott Oiled Lahoual, east
Of Zarat.
I lay on my stomach amid the
Mareth defenses on the east side OF
Wadi Zigzau, east of the marshes,
and watched the fighting. Several
shells landed within SO yards OF
where I lay, next to a small pile Of
sandbags.
One Soldier Killed
One 2l0-millimeter shell struck
about Is yards from me and killed
one soldier and wounded another.
A short scream followed the shell
burst and the wounded man fell to
the ground. It was possible that the
shells were coming so fast that he
had not heard its warning Screecn.
Our car was punctured by shrap-
mel twice as I dug my face into the
wet sand next to it. Fragments
hinged only a yard over my head.
Bren gun carriers and anti-tank
guns attached to trucks lurched
over a mound in front of us across
q heavily-shelled anti-tank ditch
during the initial barrages.
Even the battered German air
force Joined in the battle. Sew.
eral Messerschmitts few overhead
