Adoption Of Army's
Technique by Medical
Profession Predicted
BY HAROLD b. ROGERS,
Star Staff Correspondent.

CLINTON, Iowa, Mar. 23.-Suc-
cess Of the Army's program for re
conditioning" sick and wounded SOL
dlers probably will influence the
medical profession to adapt it in
some form to private practice in
civilian life. Brig. Gen. Charles C.
Hillman, chief of professional serv-
ice of the Army Medical Depart
ment, said today
Doctors witnessing the progress
OF the program are so impressed that
the Army system is liable to become
more common in civil medicine"
Gen. Hillman said.
In stressing this factor at the close
of the Army's reconditioning confer
ence at Schick General Hospital
here, Gen. Hillman was supported
by Col. Augustus Thorndike, direc-
tor of the Army reconditioning divi-
sion, known in civil life as one OF
the outstanding authorities in rapid
restoration of injured athletes. Col.
Thorndike, who is on leave from
Harvard University Medical School,
said certain kinds of conditioning
already are being given patients with
chronic arthritis at Robert Brigham
Hospital in Boston.
Three Definite Results.
Gen. Hillman said three definite
results may be expected:
q. We can restore more sick in
jured soldiers to active duty than
before.
2. We can return them on an
earlier date, and with a less aver
age number of days of hospitaliza-
ton.
g. When these men go to duty
they will be much better able to
carry on"
Col. Dean F. VIM, commanding
officer of Schick, where Army Off
GERS from all over the country had
witnessed examples of both the
physical and mental reconditioning
said he had received
letter from a soldier expressing
gratitude for the treatment given
him at Schick which put him back
on his feet. The soldier said he
was in such good condition that he
had been promoted to sergeant.
New System Adopted.
Meantime, it was disclosed that
new system has been adopted for
soldiers discharged from

New York, May 5.-(UP)-What
about the rumored boxing war be-
tween Cleveland and Detroit? What
about the rumors that Promoter
Larry Atkins Of Cleveland was about
to spread his wings and take over
the Detroit territory of Promoter
Nick Londes?
We put these questions last night
to Promoter Londes, Detroit's
Golden Greek. And he countered
with: Are you keeding?'
LondeS, with his strumberry ac-
cent, said, THE only place I heard
about this boxing war was in New
York. And I wouldn't have heard
about it if I hadn't come to New
York to meet my chief--Lieut. James
D. Norris of the naval aviation,
who is on short leave after two
years in service"
What has young Norris got to do
with the situation?
"Only this" said Londes, Lieu
tenant Norris and his father James
Norris are multi-millionaire grain
operators who own Detroits big fight
club-the Olympia. They also own
the Chicago Stadium, and are i'm
portant stockholders in New York's
Madison Square Garden. They also
own the Detroit Red Wings and
Sports EmporiumS at Indianapolis
and Duluth"
What does young Morrison leave
think of these Cleveland VS.. De-
troit boxing rumors?
Londes, taking his ease in lobby
chair at the st. Moritz, said, Lieu
tenant Jim asked me what it was
all about. said didn't know. He
Said-nertz!"
Promoter Londes, changing the
subject, said that while in the east
he was shopping around for the best
fistic talent he could find. He en-
phasized, II am not trying to steal
any fighters away from Mike Jacobs.
think Mike has done a grand
Job in New York, and is deserving
of all the praise that he gets. But
there still should be enough good
fighters to go around.
In particular I am looking for
top-notchers who can come to De-
troit and oppose two of the most
promising young fighters in the ring
today. / mean lightweight Leroy
Willis and light heavyweight How

heading for titles. unless the rest
of the country can produce some
one who can stop them. I'm look
ing for fighters who can lick them,
and I'll pay big money to lads who
can tIrn the trick"
How is the fight game going in
Detroit?
Londes, who surprised the cauli-
flower fanciers with his successful
promotions of is43-inciuding the
two Ray Robinson-Jak LamoLta
bouts which drew more than $4,000
said boxing in Detroit keeps pace
with talent.
I'VE have run nine shows In De-
troit already this year-all good
fights he said. We could have run
one every week-with questionable
talent. But such an operation would
have offended Lieutenant Norris.

BARTOLO 81 TO
TOP TERRANOvA
IN RETURN GO

Boston, May 5--(UP)-NBA fea-
therweight champion Sal Bartolo,
the hard-punching East Boston
merchant seaman, ruled a 2-1 IA
vorite today to retain his title
against Phil Terranova Of New York
In a 15-round bout before a capa-
city crowd at Boston Garden to-
night.
Bartolo punched his way to the
crown March 10 against the same
New Yorker, btu Terranova, young
er and more aggressive than the
champion, feels that his previous
l5-rounder gave him chance to
solve Bartolo's classy boxing style.
The two were scheduled to have
met last Friday but the encounter
was pushed up a week to enable
Bartolo to get in condition.
Weight o. X.
Their first fight was nip-and-tuck
all the way with the game little
Gothamite scoring consistently on
the mitigating but yielding finally
before his opponents torrent OF
head and body smashes. Both men
finished their training well under
the 26-pound weight limit.
The former champion said he was
satisfied that he could improve on
his previous showing and expressed
hope that he could win by knock
out If he got the breaks. He said
he eased up in the early rounds Of
the March contest for fear that he'd
be unable to last over the l5-rouno
route.
