Aliens Possess Data
From Censored Mail,
Former u. ). Aide SAYS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A former Commerce Department
official told Senate committee yes
terday that he knew of instances
where refugees" from foreign coun-
tries carried in their pockets inter-
cepts of censored correspondence
between American business firms
and their agents abroad.
William La Varre, who resigned as
the departments American Re-
publics Unit chief last February
after disputes with several Govern
ment agencies, testified before a
Senate Post Office Subcommittee
which is trying to find out how in
formation intercepted by censors
has leaked out to the public.
Mr.. La Varre said the refugees"
were employed by the old Board Of
Economic Warfare as consultants on
per diem basis. He said they in
cluded Swedes, Poles, Norwegians.
Germans and Latin Americans.
If these men who had these in
tercepts in their pockets had the
best interests of the country at
heart, I wouldn't think so much
about it," Mr.. La Varre said. "but
most of these people were not even
Americans" Mr.. La Varre said the
intercepts did not come from his
office. although sometimes the peo-
pie who carried them would come in
seeking additional information,
which he said he refused.
He said he had never heard of
information leaking out from the
Office of Censorship, but contended
that the Alien Property .Custodian's
Office which controls General AMI
line Corp, had sought to obtain
business secrets" of a competing
film company, Eastman Kodak.
The witness expressed the view
that under the present system much
American international business
correspondence becomes available to
the British, while the British re-
ciprocate with only sketchy infor-
nation about dealings of their Arms.
Mr.. La We're said he used to be a
mining engineer in South America
but had been writing lately.

Poirinqs Tonight

Though it rolled to a new high
team total last week, when 1903
pins were spilled, Brookside Dairy
is but one game up in the inter-
esting Mercantile Bowling league
race, which picks up again tonight
at the Sena alleys at 9 o'clock. The
634 per game figure, however is
not the league record, as the 1912
Brooksiders hit 1,941 according to
records of Secretary Hank Lacilla.
Metropolitan Cleaners are again
breathing right on the assembled
necks Of the Brooks, who dropped
a game last week while their rivals
were winning all three. Tonight's
schedule shows the the leaders up
against a far from easy opponent in
Matzkin Furniture; while the Metros
will be strong favorites to outpin
the A and P Stores.
French Cafeteria, capable of an
upset now and then takes on the

while the two market teams, Mohi-
can and Fulton are paired in one
fourth matches.
Ray Lindahl owns high three Of
AS and half of high single 1866
to date; the latter shared by Nick
White. Sam Zaza and Mike Sharon
of Brookside lead the individual
high average race which is close;
Zaza showing 124.16 at this time;

Ex-Beou jack Boosters
Now Turned Critics

New York, Jan. 25-When Sidney
(Beau jack Walker was progress
sing toward the top Of the light
weight division there were those
boxing experts who predicted this
Augusta, Ga, youngster might de-
velop into one of the all-time greats
of his class, joining Cans, Leonard,
Canzoneri, Armstrong.
The Beau has tried hard, has
twice won the world title at 1856
pounds. But he has not developed
into a Cans, Leonard, etc. And just
because he hasn't he is now CEN
sured by the same experts who once
held such high hpoes for him. So
disparagingly do they speak of him
now that the Beau, seemingly, would
be wiser to abandon his ring career.
He can't be great, therefore begone.
It isn't enough that Beau Jack
gives Of his utmost in every start,
that he throws every ounce of en-
ergy at his command into every per-
Torrance. that he provides the spec
tators with more genuine thrills
than any other boxer now active.
These things are not enough. The
Beau was supposed to become q
ring immortal. Instead he became
merely good. Merely good In Beau
Jacks case makes him q bum.
Too Much BaIIyhOO
The trouble with this kid is that
he suffers from the extravaganza Of
publicity which marked his arrival
on the big time. He came here with
burst of ballyhoo almost equalling
that which marked the New York
debut of Joe Louis. A Louis comes
along about once in a generation
and only six or seven years sep
arated the rise Of the Brown Bomb
er and the Georgia Cracker Jack.
With fw exceptions Beau Jack
has beaten every opponent sent
against him-Allie Stolz, Tippy Lar
kin, Chester Rico, Fritzie ZiVie
(twice), Henry Armstrong, B0M
Montgomery. He's dropped q de-
cision here and there and ON q few
occasions he's failed to look the
part OF q champion even In his
winning efforts, as against lailu
Costantino.
But he's always done the best he
could. And that's the kind Of effort
he'll make against Sammy Angott,
MIA champion, in their ten-ronnd
contest at Madison Square Garden
Friday night. He is sure his best
effort viii be winning effort, even
though it doesn't make him anoth-
er Cans.
