Cochrane Will Watch
Perry, Reif Tonight;
Aaron IS Choice

Chief Specialist Freddie (Red)
Cochrane Of the United States Navy,
world welterweight champion, will
be prominent among those present
tonight when Washington's own
Aaron Perry trades punches with
Morris Reif, Brooklyn's KO kid, in
a 10-round welter main event at
Grifath Stadium that isn't expected
to 60 the limit.
Upward of 10000 persons are ex-
pected to pay over $4,000 to see to-
nights 34-round card, which shapes
up as one of the best of the summer
season. Tickets were available to-
day only at Griffith Stadium, where
several thousand general admission
seats went on sale.
Cochrane, recently returned from
sea duty in the South Pacific and
now stationed at Solomons Island,
Nd, is coming to Washington to-
night to get a line on Perry, of
whom he says ne has heard a great
deal.
Plans to Fight After War.
Il certainly intend to defend my
championship after the war, and
this is good chance to scout this
Washington kid" Cochrane says
Il also want to get look at Reif
who has been described to me as a
great puncher."
Perry today was a 6-to-5 favorite
over Ref in tonight's bout. but New
Workers poured plenty of support
the Brooklyn lads way over the
week end. The wise men were say
ing today that tonight's braWl
would end in a KO before the sixth
round, as both are capable of put
ting over the finishing punch.
Perry is beginning to learn a lit
tie more about boxing and in his
training grind sparring demon
strated that he can handle a left
hook such as Ref swings. But the
local youngster, in the same man
ner as the Brooklyn slugger, is wide
open much of the time. and sharp
shooting puncher gets plenty of
opportunities.
Ref Boasts Great Record.
Reif has a great record. The 21-
year-old slugger. honorably dis
charged from the Navy last October
has piled up 10 straight KOS, three
of them locally. All told, he has
scored 80 KOS in 81 bouts and makes
good use OF paralyzing left hook
which old-timers compare with that
of the celebrated Chicago Charley
White.
Perry has II flattening jobs and
seven decisions to his credit, while
losing decision to Sammy Angott
and being TKO'd by Henry Arm
strong
In six-round semifinal joey
Manfro, who dropped Perry for 9
nine count in Madison Square Gar

knocked out, makes his first start

Home-Froht Issues
Bearing on Election
Will Face Congress
BY the Associated Press.

Home-front issues that may bear
heavily on the reelection chances
Of most of the members this year
dominate the agenda that will face
Congress when it returns on April
IL from its Easter recess.
How the people back home feel
about such matters as taxes, vet
erans' benefits, subsidies, price con-
troll and military draft policies is
bound to be reflected in votes to be
cast during the next few months.
One of the first measures likely to
be taken up is the "GI" veterans
benefits bill, under which returning
servicemen would receive unenploy-
ment compensation, job priorities
educational opportunities and finan-
cial assistance from the Govern
ment. Already approved by the Sen
ate, it is one of four bills dealing
with veterans. Two, mastering -out
pay and absentee voting have been
disposed of, but a fourth, bonus
legislation, likely will be sidetracked
until after the expected summer
vacation. 49, a..
Simplidcation of the tax structure
also will receive early attention, and
probably win become an issue or
which many Lawmakers will stake
their chances for reelection. The
House Ways and Means Committee
has agreed tentatively on the princi-
pies Of new legislation and expects
to have bill ready soon.
The subsidy fight, which took up
much Of the first three months OF
the session, will be renewed when
the price-control program comes up
for renewal. Subsidy foes have an
nounced they will try to write into
the extension act ban against con-
sumer subsidies.

controversial nature, are 1944-5 ap-
preparation bills for half a dozen

War Chiefs Approve
Plan 10 CUT Imports
By the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
The Joint Chiefs Of Staff have
put final approval on a new stock
piling policy which will curb this
country's importation of war ma
terials.
The action was taken after the
War Production Board warned OF
fears that great boards of materials
would "overhang and disrupt the
postwar market"
High sources said the new for
mula would not result in an abrupt
decline in imports.
THE effect will be to scale down
somewhat, the stockpiles that we
thought necessary earlier. in the
war" one official said, pointing out
that three-year stockpiles once were
thought necessary when foreign pro-
ducing areas were falling into enemy
hands almost weekly.
The new policy, approved by the
WPB on January % but not opera
tive until the joint chiefs approved
permits a higher stockpile of any
material which must be transported
overseas.
This is accomplished by a formula
which puts the stockpile goal for
each critical material at a quantity
equal to three months total war
time consumption, or one years con-
sumption less the amount which can
be produced by North America
alone, whichever is higher.
Greater stockpiles may be
amassed, it was ruled, if there is
danger that the producing area may
be captured by the enemy, that
transportation may be interrupted
or that changing war programs may
increase demand.
