New York, May 10 - (U.P) -
VIII a 4-F'er be the next world
heavyweight champion? Will Fred
DIV Hot" Schott of Akron O., be the
white hope who dethrones Sergeant
Joe Louis?
These are the sub-rosa questions
being asked in big-time boxing to-
day as millions Of service men are
growing more adept in the manly
art: but as Freddy Schott - with
the floating cartilage in his knee
batters out a record reminiscent OF
Louis youthful swath.
Schott, only IS. is working on
string OF 20 straight victories. He
is unbeaten as a professional. He
has scored II knockouts. He seems
to have what it takes-punch, rug
gedness and stamina.
AS II to answer the question
quickly about Schott. Promoter
Mike Jacobs announced today that
the young Akron, O., heavyweight
protege Of ancient Kayo Christner--
has been matched with Sergeant
Walter Hafer, latest sensation OF
the U. s. Marines, for the semi-flnal
at Madison Square Garden, May 70.
Lee Savold and Joe Baksi Will
tangle in the main event.
Young Schott is perhaps the most
disgruntled 4-F'er in the country.
Three older brothers are in service;
and he had his knee x-rayed by
Army, Navy and Marines in his at
tempt to get into the big fight; but
he has rejected by all Like Steve
Hamas. the former heavyweight
contender, he has a floating cart
ilege in his knee-result of a foot
ball injury while starring for an
Akron High school team.
This knee would interfere might
lily with Schott's successful negotia-
ton of a tough service obstacle
course; but it does not minimize his
fighting effectiveness on the smooth
canvas of a ring. 1t does not pre-
vent his fighting like a modern
Dempsey bobbing and weaving
out Of a crouch, and tossing crush
ing blows to the body until he Is
ready to shift his kayo punches to
the head.
Schott Is bigger than was Demp-
sey in his heyday. His size approx
mates that of Louis. This black
haired, fresh-skinned youngster
packs 206 pounds on a six-foot two
inch chassis. And, like Louis, he is
a clean liver. He eschews the prim-
rose path: and his only hobby is
music. He learned to play the piano
a bit In high school. and in New
York he goes for the concerts at
Carnegie hall. He has arranged with
Manager Billy DAILY to continue his
piano studies with prominent New
York instructor.
DAILY, who has specialized IN
heavyweights for 20 years-without
ever having q championships. u
believe this boy is the answer to my
prayers" DAILY, who manages Lee
Sayold and who has had such
prominents as Maurice Strickland
and Pat Comiskey under his wing,
says "Savold took TO this kid like
father. He thinks he's a real conner.
and he has been polishing him for
the past eight months. And you
know. savold is the finest boxer IN
the heavyweight division"
DAILY concludes, this Schott Is
one helluva fighters rip-and-
tearer from gong to gong. who can't
be hurt by the hardest punch. He
can belt you out with either hand.
And he Is always trying to improve

Platter, Pensive

Pensive and Platter. two chestnut
colts with wings on their heels, will
carry most of the money postwa-d
when they lead field Of seven to
the barrier today In the 54th run
ming of the preakness stakes, the
prize of Pimlico and second jewel
In the American turf's Triple crown.
Pensive, the gallant chestnut who
carried the devils red and blue OF
Calumet farms to four and one
half length victory in the Kentucky
derby was a two to one favorite to
have stumpy legged Conn McCrea-
~ ride him upnder the wire in
front once again. But right along
side was George D. Widener's Plat
ter, given the same odds to win the
run for the black-eyed Susans and
carry off the richest purse in the
history OF this historic track.
Yet, while those two were rated
as the favorites, there were five
other streamlined entrants with a
chance to take the $61, 055 record
purse and leave it up to the rich
Belmont event-last of the triple
championships in the race for
three-year-old honors.
Contrasting the Calumet and Wi
dener choices were Greentree sta
ble's Stir Up; Mrs. Ethel Jacobs
Stymie; A. c. Ernst'S Alorter; Bo-
banet Stables Gay iBt and Mrs. A.
J. Abers Cramps Image.
Johnny Longden, who rode Count
Fleet to an easy victory in this
same race last year, will be aboard
the Platter. But what made the
Widener colt such a hot favorite
was that he liked this track and
scored two important victories at
Pimlico as a two-year-old by win
ming the Pimlico flturity and the
Walden stakes.
There was plenty of support, too.
for Stir Up, the Greentree galloper

in the run for the roses but ran

third. The derby. however, was
over a mile and a quarter and this

Baltimore railbirds to the opinion
that Stir Up will carry his pink and
black colors home in front. Aboard

to make up for the disappointment

cause he Is one of the few
local people who are willing to
see the federal government
flood this valley. Nevertheless,
everybody listened TO him
courteously and attentively,
First Selectman Clark answered
his questions pertinently, and
others joined in the discussion.
The only real controversy Of
the session arose when Thomas
Tier suggested that the meeting
instruct the Board of Civil
Authority not TO remit any of
the taxes due from granite
quarry whose owners, in the
opinion of everybody who
spoke were trying to "bulldoze"
the town into forgiving some
$500 already due.
There was no question Wheth-
er the voters wanted the full
tax collected, but only whether
a resolution would force the
town to sue, which it was felt
might be costly, troublesome
and generally undesirable.
Difference of opinion was
sharp but entirely friendly.
Eventually it was decided that
the selectman had no legal
right to remit the taxes anyway,
and no desire to do so, which
made formal action unnecessary
So Tier moved to leave it to the
Board of Civil Authority to
do what seems best
II guess they know how the
town feels about it, he remark

Does this seem trivial? 1t real
ly isn't. Dummerston is a small
town. Its population is $50. Per-
haps it is a doomed town, if
Washington succeeds in flooding
out its largest village and best

Of $3.50, and settled every de-

meeting as casual and common
place as a Thanksgiving family

WEST DUMMERSTON, vt
II ever you begin worrying about
the vigor with which fundament-
nj democracy has survived in
this republic, come to Vermont
in March and visit an old-fash-

I have just attended one here,
at Grange Hall. There was moth
ing spectacular about it-just a
mass meeting of the neighbors,
deciding with a minimum OF
formality and a maximum OF
good will how 10 run their local
government for the next year.
The moderator was Arthur w.
Laughton, q farmer and carpen-
ter in his late SOS, with weather
beaten face and a scraggly mus
tache. He wore q dark gray
shirt, his second-best trousers,
and kept on q sober plaid mac
kinaw because whoever built
the fire in the hall forgot to reg
hlate the drafts, so that the audi
'torium was stone cold.
Laughton sat at a long board
table in front of the stage. At
his right was the town clerk,
Mrs. Rena Ried. At her right
was the first constable, Kenneth
Chamberlin, a young farm
worker with red face, red
checkered wooden shirt, green
checkered wooden trousers tuck
ed at the bottom into lumber
mems boots.
And at Chamberlin's right
presiding over the ballot box
that was used only to decide
against licensing the sale of Ii

gathering went through the

Floyd Clark was reelected
first selectmen. AS usual, il was
decided to have two road COM
missioners, one for the east side
and one for the west, and the
incumbents were reelected. An
overseer of the poor was chosen,
a town agent, trustee of the
public library, a school director,
two constables, lister (apprais-
al of real estate for tax pur-
poses), a town grand juror. Vir-
tually all were reelected, and
in most instances unanimously.
1t sounded cut and dried, but
wasn't. All nominations were
from the floor, and Moderator
Laughton gave ample time for
any opposition TO develop.
Among the elections were
those trustees of several ceme-
terry funds, mostly Of $50 to 500
each, the income from which is
for the care Of specific graves.
All incumbents but one were
reelected. When the Wells fund

rent trustee wasn't caring for
the grave. Several suggestions

who lives near that cemetery,

 Kaufman, in radio broadcasts and other media, represented to war work CTS that birth certificates were neces- sary to prove United States citizen ship in obtaining employment in war factories, shipyards and Civil Service positions, and that all one had to do to get one was send name, address, state of birth and one dollar to Birth Record" according to the Federal Trade Commission.
