Congress Hears
o. Job Racket

WASHINGTON, March Is. (UP)
Congress received charges We'd
nesday that war profiteers con-
Quoting a "labor-renting traffic"
were hiring out workers to war
firms for as much as S54 a day
with the apparent approval of the
army and navy.
A report by a general military
affairs investigating committee said
the worae.s-craIt tsmen, designers,
technicians and other skilled types
were hired at rates from 65 cents
to $275 an nour and then rented
out to war firms for as much as
So an hour, $3.50 for overtime, Sc
for double time, and Sc a day sub
sistence and travelling expenses.
The report, signed by Military
Affairs Committee Chairman An
drew j. May, Democrat, Kentucky,
and Chairman Carl T. Durham,
Democrat, North Carolina, of the
investigating committee, said the
practice was widespread and was
employed particularly on cost
plus-fixed-fee contracts where the
charges are passed on to the tax
payers.

SPORTS PARADE

t rcH do these facts add up to
a price q 2-1 favoring Beau Jack
ever DAVIS?
Frankly, we too are puzzled; be-
cause it is our personal opinion
that Davis, a tough little guy from
Brooklyn, will smack brown-skinned
Beau SO lustily on the lug that
Beau will hear the mockin birds
singing in the magnolia blossoms of
his native Georgia. To us it seems
that this 2-1 price is the seasons
most magnificent over-lay.
In considering this price or any
other quotation emanating from
Jacobs jetty-the habitat of double
talk and double dealing-it is wise
to remember that the smart money
boys rarely reach any conclusion
by straight-aWay thinking. A
straight line never is the shortest
distance between two points for
these chronic maneuverers. For ex-
ample they saw Davis register the
quickest hla:n event knockout over
Montgomery in Garden history. But
they toss that kayo out of considera-
tion, bacseue they regard it as a
"fluke."

Two Personalities

NEW YORK, March IS. up
Two comparative youngsters in the
tennis realm, Coast Guard Cadet
John Kramer and Francisco Pan

Ecuadorean. established themselves
as personalities to be reckoned with
in postwar net competition We'd
nesday, with surprisingly easy VIC
tories over two veterans, 1t. Don
Bulge and Sidney B. Wood.
Playing in the feature match of
the Red Cross benefit indoor tea
mis- show at Madison Square Gar
den Tuesday, Kramer who lost the
national title last summer to Lit.
Joe Hunt OF the navy, soundly OUT

Segura, who ranks third nation

champion, tOyeG with wood. a long
standing veteran and a particularly
strong indoor performer, winning
6-2. 6-1.
Blonde Alice Marble, the beaut-
eous womans' professional champ
ion, won straight sets 6-3, 6-1, from
Mary HardWick, British star in
the top Women's match.
Kramer and Segura also dominat-
ed the doubles play, teaming up
to defeat Bulge and Wood, 6-4.

NEW YORK, March IS. (UP)-
Puzzled fight fans are convinced
that the mad mathematicians of
Jacobs beach have their plus and
minus signs completely screwed up
when, after four straight upsets az
Madison Square Garden, they make
Beau Jack a 2-1 favorite to beat
Al Dummy Davis Friday night.
Even guys who went no further
than the fourth grade in grammar
school question the mental opera
tions of the 'smart-money boys of
49th street when they make Former
Lightweight Champion Jack lop-
sided favorite over WelUerweight
Davis, blond-iightning puncher.
Apparently there are two very
simple facts to be considered in
the problem: % on February 18,
Davis scored a technical knockout
over Bob Montgomery in 63 sec
onds; % on March 3, Montgom-
cry wrested the lightweight title,
New York version, from Beau Jack
on a 15-round decision. BY what
mathematical process, the fans want
