 New York. Feb. 15 - U.P0 - Al Bunny" Davis, who was too tough for the modern prizefight business, returns for the first time Friday night to the scene of hi' disgrace Madison Square Garden
 Davis - who as Abraham David off, a poverty enmeshed Jewish youth, who grew up in the tougf Brownsville section of Brooklyn home of Murder, Inc.-climbS back into the same ring that he left or the tumultous night of November 15, 194O, escorted by police, usherS and handlers as the jeering spec tators rained papers, hats, ciga1 buts and soft drink cartons into the ring.
 Davis. now "A, reportedly has been chastened and civilized by the penalizing action of the New York Commission. which fined him $2,50C and suspended him flor life.' At least the late Commissioner Bill Brown said 1t was flor life" But Bill Brown is dead now.
 A welcoming committee of one, Bob Montgomery - the rugged Philadelphia Negro who formerly held the lightweight title-will greet pugilism's prodigal son in mid-ring and attempt to kill the fatted calf, which Montgomery fig ures is Davis. himself. They are slated for 10 rounds.
 When Davis last appeared in the Garden he was a principal in "one of the most disgraceful exhibitions in New York boxing history matched with the then newly crowned welterweight champion Fritze zivic, young, primitive Da- wis was given thorough going over in the first round by the Pittsburgh master.
 Davis, enraged. came storming out of his corner for the second session and began belting in Brownsville gutter fashion - toss ing fists below the equator. Referee Billy Cavanaugh warned him once Twice and so on. When Bunny had tossed 10 shots straight at jack-knifing Zivics groin. Cava- naugh stopped the submarine war fare and disqualified Davis. The house that Rickard built - jam med with 17,O0O fans - was in a hurly burly. And Davis was lucky to depart unScathed.
 Bummy's fine and suspension followed. So he joined the army. The army permitted Bunny to meet Zivic in return grudge match at the Polo Grounds on July 2, 1941. Because Promoter Mike Jacobs guaranteed $10,000 to the Army Relief Fund. Davis restrained himself-too much-and took ter rife beating before Zivic stopped him in the 10th round The New York Commission had lifted its suspension briefly for this bout.
 After 14 months in the army, Davis was discharged because of a skin ailment Unable to fight in his home state, he campaigned in a flock of outside cities. After the death of Brown, he eaSed into New York and fought five times at small clubs. On the road back, after his army discharge, Davis fought l9 bouts, winning IA, losing four and drawing in one. He also was mar ried, and now has SiX-monthS-old son.
 They say that Bunny is Little Lord Fauntreloy now; also that he is a better boxer, who can hit with his right fist, as well as his left. because of bone-setting operations to his feet and spine. But we'll have to see him do it to believe it.

This Sporting World
Kicking The Gong
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Pound for pound, the best light CT on the New Haven Arena card last night, including Phil Terranova the National BISCUIT Association featherweight champion of the world was a transplanted New Yorker, now in Waterbury, Joey NunZio of the Bronx. I mention the NBA as g. biscuit association, because Ter ranova, as champion, is very diff ficult to digest. when you have seen the likes of Willie Pep. Lefty La Chance or Sal Bartola Ed Sweeney, counselor at-laW, was a good enough wrestler in college 1ht,
 he afterward officiated as third man on the mat for several years at Yale. What is more, he thoroughly agrees with the statement that a wreSt- ling match that is on the level, where both men are of nearly equal ability and strength, should go at least an hour When he was told that Ed (Strangler) Lewis is still taking falls, he was most sur- prised, for the Strangler is about 62 years of age What may sur- prise him more is that Stanislaus Zbyszko, once a wealthy man, now close to 70 years of age, is g. NIGHT WATCHMAN in the New York Navy Yard, and was once confidante of the world-famous Polish pianist, Ignace Jan Paderewski, and was al- so a LAWYER before he came to this country with his brother Wla- dek, and is currently writing his own vel slor O.

which he can buy soap, razor
blades and such stuff at the post
exchange. Give those things TO
him free and he would waste
them. Let him buy them and
it's a privilege.
Prisoners on contract labor
get 80 cents day from the Ar
my, but the employer pays into
the u. S. Treasury going rates
for whatever the job may be
harvesting eanuts, building
roads, numbering. Though the
wage payments go into the U. S.
Treasury, it isn't all profit be-
cause the Army must feed the
labor, house it, transport and
guard it. So the Army doesn't
make contracts on which the
government can't break even.
Pay goes to the prisoners in
the form of coupons redeemable
at post exchanges. The p. WIS
could put their money in saw
ings accounts but none of them
do. What's the use" they ex-
plain. IF we did try TO take
it back home with us after the
war, our own politicians would
take it away from us, if you
didn't take it away first SO
they carry big fat books of cou-
pons with them and buy every
thing on the PIX shelves. Mexi-
can silver and junk jewelry goes
great. The post exchanges
could sell them anything and
clean up, if goods were avail
able.
They are allowed to buy their
own movie projectors and show
u. S. films rented with their own
money. They can buy books and
magazines, but they are the reg
ular American news stand offer
ings. Radio is free, but the pro-
grams are exclusively in Eng
lish from L. S. stations. Lib
raries are free and there the
prisoner has access to books that
he may never have seen or
heard of before. He can't be
forced to read them-Which is
the tip-off that ideas can't be
forced into anyone's brain if
he doesn't want to take them,
and the answer to those who
would try forced propaganda
ing. If a book which Nazis
consider dangerous rea d in &
should be destroyed by some
fanatical prisoner, he pays for
another copy to replace it on
the library shelves. And so it
goes.

Yanks' Nazi Captives Enjoy Books
on Democracy Away from GOebbels' Eye
BY PETER EDISON
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - America
first prisoner of war was a Jap
the fellow manning that baby
submarine caught at Pearl Har-
Dor. He's still around, but since
that time Jap, German and ltal-
ian prisoners of war have been
collected by the hundred thous-
and and 243,848 of them are
now in the United States, 1922
846 of them being Germans.
What the number will be be-
fore the war is over is beyond
knowing. Their flow into the
United States is under the con-
troll of the commanding gener-
ais in theaters of operation.
Periodically a shipload of them
lands at some U. S. port and the
authorities on this side swing
into action and handle them,
shipping them out to any one of
126 base camps from which they
60 to some 400 work camps.
The officer who received that
first Jap prisoner Of war has
received all the others. He Is
Brig. Gen. Blackshear NJ. Bry-
an, Jr., Louisianian and for
mer line coach at West Point.
His experience since Pearl Har-
Dor has taught him many things
he didn't know about German
psychology.
NO BAN EXERCISED
There has been some criti-
cism of the Army lately, for not
"propagandizing' these German
prisoners, trying to make good
liberal democrats out of Marlin
doctrinated fanatics. In this
criticism, there seems to have
been a good bit of misinforma-
ton and eXaggeration The idea
that the Geneva Convention of
1929 covering the treatment Of
prisoners Of war, to which both
Germany and the United States
subscribed, prevents captor or
nation from propagandizing its
captives is entirely wrong. There
is no such ban. But education
