BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Last night, at the Kogon- Francis
fight In Hartford, your alert repor-
ter happened across the path Of
Bobby Gleason, New York manager
Of boxers, who was fined $50 yester-
day morning by State Athletic
Commissioner Frank Coskey, for
"inciting riot. Oddly enough,
Gleason had asked for the special
hearing, figuring that he would
have a chance to officially go to
work on Referee Dan Buckley Of
Bridgeport. who recently ruled
against GleaSon'S colored clouter,
Benny Williams Of Newark, N. J.
Deciding to have a bit of fun
with Gleason, whom I know we'll 1
started to needle" him about the
$50 fine that was slapped on HIM,
with nothing Of importance hap
pening to the referee, whom Glea-
son expected to have the pleasure
of hearing the commissioner sus-
pend FOREVER AND A DAY.
What are you going to do about
the $50 fine2" was the query direct
ed at the little New York guy who
has done well for himself and his
pugilists in Connecticut for nearly
a year. His answer gave me a

ENDS DUST:
On Texas FLying Fields

The dust that lays thick on Texas
flying fields is being conquered with
Grama grass at Biggs field, Texas,
where the army spent more than a
quarter million dollars in efforts to
keep it down.
Prairie hay is spread over the
field after it has been carefully lev
eled. Then combination cultivator
and roller chops it up and rolls it
into the sand. Grama grass seed is
then soWn, and when the hay rots
the grass grows, effectively holding
down the soil.
Mechanics, maintenance workers
and other field men say that their
tasks are now much easier. For
merly work had to be suspended
during dust storms, but now the
clouds of dust just pass around the
field.
Sand in the air used to be so hard
on human lungs that the late
Major General Olds ordered the use
of respirators for all personnel. The
respiratory disease rate per 1000
men for week in May, 1943, was
1927. BY the comparable week
in May, 1914, the rate had declined
to 103.11.

FARM HANDS WANTED: The
War Food administration estimates
that 100000 extra workers will be
needed during the harvest season.
Many of these will have to come
from cities. A VIA official said
''We will need approximately IL
million workers on farms to meet
peak October requirements in har-
vesting. That means about 100000
city workers must be recruited"
WHEAT FOR ALCOHOL: Soft red
winter wheat may be used for manu-
facture of alcohol for war purposes,
since the crop is expected to exceed
100000 bushels this year, far
above average, said Marvin Jones,
war food administrator. He was re-
plying to protests from officials of a
Kansas milling company, who were
objecting to the lifting of the WAS
ban on use of wheat for alcohol.
Mr.. Jones added that if the crop is
smaller than expected, or if the de-
mands of the distillers are unreason-
ably large, the ban can be re-
instated at any time.
AIR LINE RECORD: A new rec
ord in commercial air transporta-
ton was established by a 42-ton
ship Of the Pan American Anyways
company in a fight from Africa to
Natal, Brazil, covering 1870 miles.

LEND-LEASE:
Steady Shipments

Lend-lease shipments of food to
the Allies continued at steady pace
during the first five months of 1914,
with some commodities being sent
in larger volume and others in
smaller amounts, with little net eff
feet on domestic supplies.
During the period, 9.3 per cent of
the total U. S. meat supply was
shipped under lend-lease, with the
major portion consisting of pork.
About 1876 per cent of the nations
pork was sent abroad.
The United Kingdom and Russia
continued to receive most of the
lend-lease food, with the U. S. sup
plying 10 per cent of British needs.

BUGS:
Mans Allies

Acting in conjunction with the
U. S. department Of agriculture, the
nations farmers are turning preda-
tory bugs upon destructive insects
to assure crop growth.
In Illinois alone, more than 10000
,wasps and flies were released to
combat corn borers threatening the
states rich grain fields. No sure-fre
remedy in themselves, however, the
work Of the predatory insects can
only complement clean farming
and deep blowing, agronomists say.
When turned loose, the predatory
insects crawl through the corn
borer's tunnel in the stalks, with the
wasps penetrating its body to lay
eggs in it, and the flies depositing
eggs on the outside. AS the eggs
feast on the borer even in the pupa
stage. they eventually destroy it,
while emerging themselves.

PACIFIC:
Subs Take Toll

With the Allies pressing closer to
Japan's inner supply lines feeding
her booming war industry, U. S.
subs and air forces can be expected
to take an increasing toll of enemy
shipping, navy secretary James
Forrestal declared.
In reporting that U. S. subs re-

areas, and the utilization of surplus

TRAGEDIES:
Circus Fire

Overhead the famed Wallandas
prepared for their celebrated tight
wire act on bicycles as 5000 happy
spectators awaited the performance
under the big canvas tent Of the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey circus in Hartford, Conn.
Near a sidewau of the tent, a
small flame was noticed. Suddenly,
it fared and leaped upward, with
great patches of burning canvas
falling when fire had scared them
off. The cry Of Fire! Fire! Fire!"
spread through the panic-stricken
spectators, and their frantic shouts
mingled with the din of roaring ami
mails in the corral outside.
AS the great sheets of burning can
vas fell on top of the milling crowd
below, adults and children struggled
to make their way to safety, but
scores were trapped, with some rum
ming into the steel ramps through
which animals were led into the
arena.
AS rescue workers dug into the de-
bris, they extricated the bodies of
1875 victims, mostly children, and
more seriously injured. LIS.

the flying bombs and he could give
no guarantee about the future of
this form of attack.
Although declaring that the Allies
