his aggresslveneSs, and came tear
ing out for the sixth. He tented
with a right and let go a left hook
that failed to connect. Into this
sudden opening, Aaron sent a high,
hard strike right down the middle
that caught Hanbury flush and
Lew thudded down on his back.
He showed signs of life at the six
count and turned over and staggered
up to his knees, but collapsed again
and still was down when Referee
Eddie La Fond finished the count.
1t was good fight, though, while
1t lasted. Lew occasionally had
Perry missing as he danced around
and concentrated on sending a left
hook to the body, but Perry's power
packed, clublike fists were in con-
troll most of the time. His slugging
got him the first round, but Han
bury took the second with his labs
and crosses as he bobbed around.
Every blow that Perry threw car
ried dynamite, and he caught Ham
bury twice with hard rights to the
face in the third to floor Lew for
counts of nine. Hanbury stayed
away pretty much during most of
the fourth as he recovered from
the shock of those two punches.
and came back to take the fifth,
although he was very tired boy at
the end.
Hanbury Still Confident.
In the dressing room after the
light, Hanbury was surprisingly un-
marked considering the number of
blows he stopped. "He never hurt
me-" said Lew. land I still think I
can beat him. When I threw that
left in the sixth I knew right away
he had me. I was wide open all the
way and I realized it a second too
late. 1t was the first shot I had
given him and he nailed me-"
A good crowd of about 5000 paid
$l6,425 to see the fights. Perry
weighed 142 and Hanbury 1877.

PdKey Votes
Air Freedom
Peaceful Commercial
Flights Are Approved

CHICAGO, Dec. 2 (UP)-Dele-
gates of 54 nations, acting as a
joint subcommittee of the civil
aviation conference. voted today
to grant the first two freedoms of
the air to global airlines, subject
to acceptable wording by a con-
ference drafting committee.
The vote was taken after Wis.,
count Swinton, British civil avia-
ton minister. told the meeting
Britain would approve the two
freedoms. They are:
Right to fly in peaceful
commerce through the worlds
airspace.
Fright to make technical,
or nontraffic landings.
II apparently had not been de-
cided yet whether the two free
doms will be written into the civil
aviation convention drawn up here.
Previously the conference had
decided to place all five freedoms
of the air in a separate agreement
TO be signed by those nations that
wanted them, others resorting 10
bilateral negotiations for COM
mercial rights.

Of Liquor Business

LANSING, Dec. Gov. Kellys
first reaction TO the state liquor
control commission controversy

fidence in its business manager,

with Mrs. Kelly to the West

cannot be solved"

cuss reports of a shakeup in the

mitted the controversy was the
first state matter presented upon

81 am still convinced we have
the right approach In taking
the liquor business out Of poll
tics" he said.
THAT was my conviction
when kunzig was put In rs busi-
ness manager and I am still for
ID. But, In this matter, I want

fore I say anymore"
Because of his late arrival. the
governor did not visit his office

Boston 0koys Boston Girls

Boston, March ii-(UP)-Bos- tons Committee on Social Protec. ton has reported that its investiga- ton of alleged misbehavior of teen- Rge girls reveals that only q com- paratively small number are victims of war hysteria.
 After Q year of study and research the committee submitted its report to Mayor Maurice J. Tobin of Bos- ton last night. The report charged that Boston girls have been a continual target for lurid public ity" and added that too much stress has been laid on misbehavior.
 "Thls publicity was unfair to thousands of girls who were help ing the war effort at home, in churches, schools and in organized groups" the report said.
 People often allow themselves to be driven to panic by e few tragic cases" the report continued.
 However, the committee added the war has created special dangers for young girls and that i943 figures will show the city to be in & critical condition as regards teen-age de. linquency.
 The committee advocated co- ordinated direction of juvenile mat ters, improved recreational facili- ties and the need of mothers in homes rather than in war plants.

Proof Of German Massacre Of f2,OOO,OOO Found By Reds

London, March ll-(UP)-Ger- man documents discovered In q safe In Klev indicated that Nad occu- patton forces killed, poisoned, exe- cuted In murder vans or tortured to death 2,000, 900 aged women, chil- dren and war prisoners in Soviet territory, Radio Moscow said today
 The documents, found in q build ing formerly occupied by the Ges- tapo, were labelled Secret, State Importance and Secret: Staff Document" the broadcast said.
 Though the documents covered only the period of occupation up to December, l94l, they apparently were used as the basis for the overall estimate oi 100000 victims.
 The Germans were said to have Jumped together the murders under such vague descriptions as "eXecu- tion," special regime" 'liquida.. tion," special measures" and "purging measures"
 When the Germans were com pelled to retreat they reopened graves where mass execution victims were buried In and burned the corpses, apparently fearing the con- sequences when the graves were dis covered, the Moscow broadcast said. It detailed the exact localities and streets where graves were found and charged that tens of thousands of citizens were executed in Rovno, KieY and Kharkov.
 Special Nazi orders of the day, Moscow said, specified that even Ukrainian nationalists. whom the Germans at first exploited, were to oe subjected to execution squads.
 Specially selected for extermina- tion were Russian intelligentSia. Jews, writers, editors, peoples cofll- missars, professional revolutionariee, comintern agents and naturally Red army soldiers," the radio said
 Various German orders, 1t was said, indicated that the Nazis at first took great care not to carry out the executions in concentration camps but at points far enough away 50 that they would not be noticed by other prisoners or civilians.
 Executions became so common, however, that precautions were re- faxed and executions carried out inside the camps.

Unless world opinion causes De Valera to change his at. titude, it was believed here that the preesnt situation will remain unchanged. This reasoning was based on the fact that the United States note, sent on February 21, merely requested tEat the German legation and Japan csc consulate i'm Fire ba closed.
 It promised, at the same time, that, if this request were denied no military OF other measures would be taken to force Ireland to ac~ cede to American proposals.
 This explicit language served to set at rest reports in Fire that the Allies may move into Fire by force of arms and take over the couIa- try. It also disposed of spec ulation that the Allies may impose economic sanctions on Fire by refusing to ship needed goods to that country.
 The chief economic implemsAb which the Allies have to enforce Fire to cooperation with the United Nations is the Free States need fcR' wheat, of which she has Q 20 per cent deficiency this year. This need recently has been the subject of dis cussionS between Fire and the United States in connection with the proposed purchase by tho Free State of two merchant vessels eo bring wheat to Ireland and replace two ships lost through military op- eratlons.
