NNEHEN the history of this war
" is written lot of words must
w be given to the extraordinary
exploits of the khakiclad "men in
white" who have proved their ability
TO perform operations under the most
adverse circumstances at the
risk of their own lives.
Not long ago British navy sur
geon-who asked that his name be
left out of any public report of the
case-amputated the hand OF a mer-
chant sailor. The operation was per-
formed by flashlight on the deck of
cargo ship. The vessel was rolling
and pitching in a North Sea storm.
Nazi planes were droning in the
darkness overhead and several near
misses were scored on the ship. But
the surgeon worked as calmly as
though he were in some quiet hospi-
tai ashore. He said afterward that he

THE police of Syria, Lebanon and
Latakia don't say much about il,
but they've got a slave market on
their hands.
They don't know where it is yet
and they don't know the name or the
whereabouts of the swarthy Fagin
who runs ii, but they're on his trail.
And if they ever catch up with him,
he'll be a slave for the rest of his
life.
This dealer in human flesh has
given the ancient and brutal business
something of a new twist. He doesn't
pcddle pretty girls or strong men. His
racket is boys, and he'll take skinny
little specimens hardly old enough to
be away from their mothers.
The existence of a slave market on
the shores of the eastern Mediter-
ranean was suspected about three
months ago when four 'teen-age
youngsters disappeared from their
homes in Saida, which is i'm Lebanon

tween that little country and Pales-

Little by little the police pieced the

day in the little English town
Paignton-when James Glanvill, u,
retired railway signalman, committed
suicide over the death of his pet

United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 9-(UP)-Deprive the referee of voting power and add a third judge to the ringside; and professional boxing will take long step toward accuracy and honesty in arriving at decisions.
 I make this suggestion, after 30 years of participation and observa- tion, because of the recent, Sus- tained criticism of decisions at Madison Square Garden.
 This criticism of decisions is nothing new. I imagine we have had them since the days when Jim Figg mixed quardter- -staff1rg with fisticufhng back in 1719. However, in modern times, changes have been made down through the years, par ticularly in the past three decades, to clip the wings of the referee.
 But that clipping is not com- pleted yet. The third man in the ring, who not so long ago was sole judge and policeman of the fight, has has his judiciary powers modi- fled by the interjection of the judges at the ringside in most fight centers in the United States. De- spite this modification, the referee still is a double -barrelled menace to honest decisions through CD hu- man inability and CD skullduggery.
 I claim that referee should be only good policeman for a bout. And that if he does his policing duties properly, he is in no position to exercise the judicial function of determining who won what round, or who won the bout. Yet, he still is given vote of equal value with that of the two judges, who have nothing else to do but to decide on the merits of the fighters.
 A referee, doing his job properly must keep constantly in motion to prevent blocking the view of spec- tators or the lenses of photog- raphers. He must concentrate on the movements of both principals, with all energy devoted to CD breaking them from clincheS; CD warning against fouls; (3) keeping the pace interesting to the specta- tors; and (4) being eternally alert so that he can stop a bout when a boxer is stunned by head blows, blinded by eye injuries, or bleeding dangerously from cuts.
 If referee does his policing job properly, he will have no more &C., curate idea at the end of a close, furiously contested round as to the winner of that round than the fighters themselves. And I can tell you this: generally they have none.
 Too often judges and newspaper men sitting quietly at the ringside, have great difficulty in determining a winner of round-whether they use the minute-by- minute or any other system of scoring.
 So I say: Let the referee be only the policeman. And as 8 policeman let him warn a boxer on a foul, but let the judges automatically take away that round on a foul. Let the referees only judicial au- thority be exercised in stopping a fight because of the condition of a contestant.
