Tonight's 10-round heavyweight
boxing match at Griffith Stadium
has the makings of a fast. exciting
bout all the way, with Al Hart, a
big counterpuncher with an espe-
cially potent right meeting Gus
Dorazio, an infghter and body

vicious lett hook. Such combina-

watching, and there's no reason to-
nights principals shouldn't be slug

match against Jimmy Bivins prom
iSed the winner
A bout with BivinS means a siz-
able chunk of money, not to mention
the high rating among heavyWeights
that would go to any one making
a good showing against the Cleve-
lander. generally rated as best of
those in action today.
Hart is bigger than Dorazio and
figures to weigh around 225 pounds,
while Gus will be in the neighbor-
hood of 200 There's belief around
that Hart is weakest in the mid
section, especially since the Client
Conway fight here when Big AL went
down before furry of body blows
Hart won that fight, however, as
part of his string of % victories
and draws in his last 25 fights.
Dorazio has a lot Of heart and
can take punishment, and both
talents may be needed tonight
Harris reach figures to help him
Gus may have to take two punches
to land one inside, and Hart's right

gested that Washington papers

lumbia was behind in it's quota. There
were alibis for that failure, none of

sponse to this years war fund drive.
he noted the Nations r-subscrip-

record which placed it among the
top cities of the country. He said he
was proud of Washington and he
added, again.. Washington papers

The next season, it is possible that a

able to hear some of the greatest music
of all nature, a song which seems to
be the very quintessence of both form

Form, in music, is what Beethoven
had. Those persons whose first acquaint-
ance with symphonic music was made
through his Immortal nine often have
a difficult time accepting the works of
other masters whose predomina ting idea
was not form.
Fortunately for the bird enthusiast,
the wood thrush has song whose pat

seems to make it very part of the trees
and the sky and the earth.
This is music. this loud, clear song Of

A Doubtful Move

Passage by the Senate of a much
amended Connally anti-strike bill
marks the first time in more than a
decade that the upper branch OF the
National Legislature has been will
ing to do anything to curb labor's
use of the strike weapon. Thus, even
though the Connally bill is designed
purely as war emergency measure,
it may be that its adoption signals
the beginning of change in legis-
lative sentiment toward clear labor
abuses.
In the form in which this patched
up measure emerged from the Senate,
however, it may be wondered whether
it's merits are not more than out
weighed by serious flaws.
The most conspicuous achievement
OF the bill is to set up criminal penal
ties for those who "coerce. instigate
or induce any person to interfere by
lockout, strike, slow down or other
interruption with the operation Of
a war plant which has been taken
over by the Government. The bill
also provides a desirable statutory
basis for the War Labor Board, en-
powers 1t to compel the attendance
Of witnesses and the production of
records, and, in necessary cases, per-
mits the board to take jurisdiction
OF dispute without waiting for
reference from the Secretary of
Labor.
Assuming proper administration.
all of these provisions are on the
credit side of the ledger. They should
enable the board to function more
effectively and they give the Gov
ernment at least a limited power to
punish persons responsible for insti-
eating strikes. Certainly. in time of
war, this is power which the Gov
ernment should have.
The Senate also approved an
amendment offered by Senator
Danaher, however, which apparently
would permit the board to adjust
wages as it sees fit. without regard
to such administra tive policies as the
recent hold the line" anti-inflation
order. This is something that organ
lied labor has been demanding, and.
considering the past history and
present attitude of the WLB. it NAV
be taken as virtually assuring an
upward revision of wages, il finally
enacted
Thus, there is serious question
whether the Connally bill in the long
run, might not do a great deal more
harm than good If it should become
law. Some further adjustments in
wages may have to be made but it
seems clear enough that, in the main,
the existing barriers against broad
wage advances must be held if the
lnf1ationary movement already un-
der way is to be kept from getting
out OF control. This provision of the
Connally bill tears a wide gap in
these barriers. and any such legis-
latlve move at this time ought to
receive a great deal more thought
and consideration than has been the
case In this instance.

Three Fundamentals
From the London Daily Mail.

From the London Daily Mail.
The thoughts of the British farmer are
turning with anxiety to what his con-
dition is likely to be when the war is
over. What he fears most is a repetition
OF the frustrated hopes Of the last peace.
That must never be. Once again the
government have promised to formulate
an agreed all-party policy for agricul-
ture. That pledge was first given more
than two years ago. and now plans are
being discussed. The foundations Of \
plan are not hard to find. They have
been proved in this war and the last,
and they must be applied with equal
effect in peace. They are: Stable mar
kets. guaranteed prices, and good wages
for the workers. These are the three
fundamentals OF healthy agriculture,
not to British farming alone but to pri-
mary production the world over.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1OeH.

At exactly $50 O'Clock on the morning
of April %, the first notes of the wood
thrushs song sounded through the trees
in the yard.
1t was sound and a moment we .had
long been waiting for and, rushing to
the window, we looked into large locust
tree, and, sure enough, there he was,
right on schedule.
Wood thrushes have arrived in Chevy
Chase on exactly this date for the past
10 years. The day of April 28 may be
put down with more flnality than the
day Of arrival of most migratory birds.
Occasionally they show up few days
ahead, according to the weather. Often
they will appear several blocks to the
west before showing up over our way.
This sight of the first wood thrush OF
the season is well worth waiting for
The reward is always the same, and sur
passing, if the observer happens to be
interested in birds.
And that music, loud and clear, with
a song pattern all its own, is real music,
deep from the heart of nature
1t is trumpet call to fresh air and
the great out-o doors.
The wood thrush is one of our superla-
tive songsters. We may accept robins,
as they come, as quite all right, and just
exactly where they should be, but never
is wood thrush taken so calmly.
The very sight of him, in his cool uni
form Of brown, with, speckled breast,
whisks one away to the woods.
The odd thing however, is that he no
longer is woods bird, despite his name
He, too, has become civilized, and is
regular town bird, or at least a
suburban one.
Large oaks are his special delight
Wherever there are oak trees, the wood
thrush will come

early Colonial days. when he was to be
found only in forests
Unlike his cousin, the hermit thrush.
which has remained steadfast to the
forests the wood thrush has more or less
given up the woods
The only thing We may think of this
Is that, for some reason unknown, he
likes man and his ways
AS unaccountable as this taste may
seem. in these days when mankind is
fighting it out on all fronts. the faithful
wood thrush comes to our gardens at an
early date and remains until late in the
fall.
He likes nothing better than q good

eligible for gainful employment. As for
the old codgers. we'll they merely cooked
their hats and strode forth with one
1ntent-to give unstintingly of their
knowledge and skills that their sons and
grandsons again might take up the cause
for which We live and many died.
War bond purchases scared. purchases
of unessentials dwindled and production
of war materials rose to high levels
which staggered the magination-but
which, unfortunately, created a false
sense of security.
Now, during the first three months OF
1943. there are still some of us who are
pulling our punches A Fighter is of
no value without hacker. Our fighters
over there need hackers over here!
Let's take boxers inventory of our
selves. Are you hitting with all the
financial physical and spiritual strength
20 toward little "urnecessaries," rather
than toward War bonds which are the
muscle builders for delivering thai knock
out blow? These blows must be delivered
at once and with a rapidity and vigor
sufficient to floor the antagonist for a
full count OF 10!
This business Of war is no different
from any other business. The amount of
physical and financial effort the share
holders put into it determines the
amount to be gained. We. as share
holders. must carry our part of the
burden, no matter what form it may
take for in so doing. our firm-U S A.
