JAPANESE PULL ANOTHER DUD SAYS STIMSON

WASHINGTON Nov. 12.- (AP)-Details of another "So sorry, excuse please' incident which strained Japanese-Ameri- can relations five months before Pearl Harbor was disclosed by the State Department today.
 In the summer of 1941 the Nipponese promised to stop bombing Chungking if the Unit ed States would cool off and not take action over one of the Uni ted States gunboats being at tackled by 26 Japanese bombers who had swerved off their course from over the Japanese capital to drop bombs near an American embassy.
 The gunboat was moored in the Yangtze river. The Ameri- can embassy was agreed that the attack by the Japanese was de- liberate.
 The Japanese apologized claiming the incident to be an ac- cident and promised to stop bombing Chungking if United States would drop it, saying they did not want war.
 However, the Japanese navy shortly thereafter subjected the city to heavy prolonged raids. Secretary Hull asked the Jap anese ambassador how come and told of the promise the Japan ese government had made.
 He was informed the Nippon csc had merely said they would cease bombing the city "tempor- arily" not indefinitely.

WEEKLY SERMONETTE
YOU DON'T BELIEVE D IN GOD?

So you don't believe in God? That is not so strange in world as skeptical as this present one. There are honest and logical reasons why one should not be- lieve in God. But for me, well it is more honest and logical to believe in God. Why? First be- cause it is more logical for me to believe that an intelligent purposeful mind created the uni verse than to think it happened by chance, or by emergent eve lution or the creative power na- tive to the creation itself. Sec ondly, where I see ideas, ideals purposes such as, let us say in the Bible, I know there must be a mind behind them. Someone has put if this way: Do we see the inhpot determined to write a Gible Thirdly, I cannot think the universe is inferior to me and I have plans, purposes and ideas. Supposing l were to dis cover at the end of my life that l was mistaken about there be- ing God in the Universe. think I would have to say, Well Universe. I believed in a pur- pose and I see there Is none; believed in an intelligent mind running things and I see there is none; l believed in a man who died on cross and l see he was mistaken; believed in all the good men who have believed be- cause of Jesus Christ and now l see they have all been deceived. We'll Universe I feel you have really let me down. Or, per haps, better you have let your self down. For you have creat- ed beings superior to you, high CT than you better than you. l cannot regret I have believed in God, in fact If I were to live life all over again I still feel would get more out of it with these higher ideals and purposes to live by. Ye know I would, for I do not have to guess about the value of a belief in God, l have seen it in Christlike charac- ter over and over again down through history"

POINTS TO 

PEARL HARBOR, T. H., Nov. l2.-(AP)-Conservative Admi- ral Chester W. NiInitz today in his strongest war speech, said: "the time has come to strike henceforth and proposed to give the Jap no rest anywhere"
 His declaration was interpreted as forecasting an early invasion and attack on Japan's well-de- tended Pacific bases hitherto unmolested, except by hit and run strikes such as Marcus, Nau- ru, Tarawa and the Wake raids.
 In his Armistice Day address, Nimitz declared the Northern flank of the Aleutians was se- cured and in the south and southwest Pacific intensified at tacks by all forces had placed Japan in precarious position.
 Tn other areas" he related, although unmolested as yet, henceforth it was proposed to give no rest anywhere or at any tMne.
 "All hands in the Pacific Army, Navy Marines and Coast Guard shared in the resolve" he added

ARE THE TAX LAWS ADEQUATE?

The system of compulsory renegotiation of con- tracts and subcontracs initiated with the statute of April 28 1922 has been in effective operation for well over year The law and its administration have been tested Congress administrative officials and the busl community have spent months in appraisng the situation. There is imminent prospects of Congresson- al action.
 The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, through its Committee on Federal Finance and numer ous member organizations and firms has kept in touch with the developments.
 Ellsworth C. Alvord chairman of the Chamber Con- mittee appeared before the Committee on Ways and Means on September 16 1943. His presentation of the Chamber position and of its Committees reconmenda- tions occupied than three hours of testimony, which appears in the formal record of the hearings Included in this pertinent testimony, MT. Alvord gave the following resolution which thoroughly presents the Chambers stand on compulsory renegotation of war contracts and subcontracts:
 Industry has insisted that there must be no cessve profits on contracts. It is the highest public interest that war requirements be met at the lowest possible costs that include reasonable turn. The principles and procedure by which these objectves to be attained present the only is- of importance. The prevention of excessive profits contracts presents two entirely sep arate and distinct problems: CD the negotiation of prices which is procurement problem and (2) the recapture of excessive profits already realized which is problem of taxation The sound fun damental position is that profits already earned should be recaptured only through taxation under policies and procedure prescribed by the Congress The provisions of the present renegotation statute, authorizing recapture under policies and procedure prescribed by administrative action, should be re- pealed. Should there be limited number of un- usual cases in which the high rates of the present Revenue Act prove inadequate, then adrnendments should be adopted to correct it's deficiencies" In brief the Chamber report summed up as fol- lows:
 We find no justification for the recapture of excessive profits through so-called renegotation
 Citizens funds should be taken by the govern ment only through taxation.
 Our present tax laws adequate or they can be made adequate, to recapture for the government all excessive profits realized by corporate tractors Even if this were not the case there would be no justification for recapture through so- called renegotiation.
 "The recapture provisions of the present law are indeed dangerous and un-Arnerican" +++s++++s++++s++++*++++*+*

eastern promoter, and I went to San Francisco to get Coffroth of on the right foot. Kennedy was Coffroth's partner for the three years that elapsed before he died. BEST FLOCK TO COFTROTH
 Coffroth quickly sold himself to San Francisco ringworms by bring ing out the best.
 Terrible Terry McGovern helped him to a flying start in 1901 by go- ing west to knock out Oscar Gard ner and Aurelio Herrera, the latter in a thrilling battle in which the Brooklyn Machine Gun was on his knees in an earlier round.
 It was two years later that. Me- Govern, the most talked of little fighter of his time, returned to the Coffroth banner for his second dis- astrous experience with Young Cor bett.
 Coffroth promoted a heavyweight championship fight in his first year, Jim Jeffries knocking out Gus Ruhlin. Jeff knocked out Bob Fitz- simmons in 1902, and the following year finished Corbett in a Coffroth production that groSsed $63,340, Q new high for boxing.
 Every topnotch fighter fought for Coffroth over a period of i4 years from Jeffries to Willie Ritchie- either in San Francisco or just out side 1t, when he moved the locale to Colma and Daly City.
 The sky was the limit, and Cof- froth was first to promote a regu- larly-scheduled 45-round fight. PUTS BOXING IN BIG MONEY Coffroth put the light game in the big money. aH.
 He was first to put up a $2O,0o0 purse-for the second meeting of Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt at Colma, Sept. 9, 1905. That gave Tex Rickard and the Goldfeld gamblers the idea for the $S0,000 purse for Nelson and Cans.
 Coffroth was first to have made successful motion pictures of Q fight. He collected his first import ant money-$135, ,000--as his share of the film depicting the aforemen- toned return engagement of Nelson and Britt.
 Coffroth was first to sell ringside seats for as much as $20-for the mismatch that brought out Stanley Ketchel and Jack Johnson at Col ma. Oct. 16. 1909.
 English referees served In evening clothes outside the ring. but Golf froth was first to put third men in the ring dressed in tuxedoS. In them, and working fights promoted by him, Eddie Graney, Jack Welch and myself became widely known.
 Coffroth was the first promoter to properly advertise a fight-with life-size posters and all that. It was Coffroth who had Sam Berger and Jack Gleason talk Jef- fries into attempting a comeback against Johnson. He stepped out when Johnson told him Rickard had bid $l0l 900. The fight drew $270.- ITS in Reno, and Rickard and Glea- son cleaned up $l20.2l5 with the pictures.
 It Is the only mistake that can recall Jim Coffroth making, and in the end he was happy to have had nothing to do with a match that set boxing back to such an ex- tent that 6 war was required to re- store 1t to good standing.

Fight Fans Prefer
 Hard Hitters To Boxers Every Time

New York, Feb. 25-Back in 1912 at the old Madison Square Garden, Mike Gibbons one night fought the English welterweight champion, Sid Burns. The bout was one of three ten-rounders and was scheduled to go on last. But early in the pro- gram the late Joe Humphries climbed into the ring, raised his hand for silence, and shouted:
 Quiet. please, quietl Ladies and gentlemen, because Gibbons has to catch an early train back to St. Paul, his fight with Burns is going on next. The rest of the show will follow"
 For four rounds Gibbons out- boxed Burns. Then the crowd, as though by signal, began to yell with one voice:
 "All aboard, Mikel First stop Manhattan transferl All aboardl''
 Caught the Train
 Gibbons took the cue, rose from his stool at the start of the fifth, and promptly flattened Burns. He caught his train.
 The crowd. which knew that Gib- bous could punch as well as he could box, wanted Co see him punch. The crowd always wants to see a fighter punch. As between clever boxers and knockout punch CTS, the fight fans invariably pre- fer the punchers.

'LATTER TO BE COACH OF REDS; HARRIS SIGNED
Cox Gives Veteran Long Term Contract; Men tO
 Get Commando Stuff
By RERNARD .. NTLLEs

UuAtGW EE1HB Sb1W OUkESBpUMWGW
 Philadelphia, Feb, 25. - (Up) .. Stanley (Buclky) Harris, second old. est manager in point of service in the major leagues, today faced the dubious honor of managing the Philadelphia Phils during 1043.
 William D. Cox, New York sports. man who heads the syndicate which recently purchased the Phils, all- nounced yesterday that Harris had been signed to a Hong" contract. He replaces John (Hans) Lobert. ~
 Lobert said he had accepted a joh as coach of the Cincinnati Reds, following a long distance telephone call with Warren Giles, Reds gene eral manager, and Manager BilJ McKectnie. N
 After breaking into the majors with the Chicago Cubs, Lobert wan traded to Cincinnati in 1906, and played there for five years.
 'T'd rather not say what the terms are," Cox said in announcing aps pointmeSit of Harris, veteran of 10 years as an American League man. ager. Harris added: T would not have come if 1t hadn't been on ats tractive offer. It's Q long one though"
 The new managers plans were indefinite but he said that Chuck Klein would be retained as coach.
 T think I'll keep Chuck as one coach but I'm undecided about th@ other one as yet" he said. ''Id rather like to have fresh man in the post"
 Veteran
 Harris, ~, has been an American League manager since 1924. He was a star second baseman %len named to lead the Washington Senators and directed them to American League pennants in his first and second seasons. Keeping the Sena- tors in the first division three more years, Harris then moved to Detroit.
 Tn five years as head of the Tigers Bucky never was able to get them above fifth place. He moved to Bos- ton in 1884 and piloted the Red Sox from seventh to fourth place. The following year he reJoined the Sen- ators. Washington finished in tho first division once since that time and Harris resigned last season af. ter finishing seventh for the third straight year.
 Commando" Training
 Announcing that spring training site probably would be selected this week at a spot within 100 miles of Philadelphia, Cox said the rhilS would be put through commando type" conditioning.
 They'll be in shape to play ball --or else," the New York lumber company executive said.
 The new Phils' president was elated after signing Harris.
 I'm tickled to death that he took the job," Cox said. T picked him because he has lots of pep, past ex- perience and is not an VS1treid man in the world series"

CROSBY COASTS . TO FINAL 44-2S
 WIN OVER WILEY
East Main Club 4O.II Leaders in 3 Periods;
 Wilby Reserves Best

In the last local game of the bas- ketball season for both teams, Cros- by proved surprisingly easy win- l1er over a hopeful group of Wilby Wildcats last night before 1000 fans. The final score A to 28 was not too indicative of the manner in which the winners came through, at one time holding a 40 to Ii mar gin with but eight minutes, or one period left to play.
 Two weeks ago, Crosby had all 1t could do in winning Q decision over Wilby in the last minute of play. Last night, Wilby came on strongly toward the finish of the game, scor- ing too little, too late. after Joe Bannon of Crosby once more got himself benched on personal fouls before the game was over. It was 21 to s at the end of the first half, Wilby scoring but one field goal, principally because of close guarding by Reynolds and Bannon; and a tendency to drop the ball several times after 1t had gained possession.
 Nineteen field goals and out of 10 free throws was the Crosby score for the evening, Wilby missing 35 of 46 tries for the hoops for two- pointers; and getting but 8 of 20 free throws. Coach Bill Schofield took Bannon out of the game with three personal fouls against the player, but sent him back again; when he scored six times before having to retire in the final period. D'Agostino, steadieSt player on the team. small but speedy, accounted for 14 points; playing a heads-up type of game from start to finish, For Wilby, Padiagas and Behr spirit IS points. Summary:
