Wilson Defeats Eschn1an
In ThriU-ElLed Contest

tricks against the ropes and shifty
footwork. Had Eschman, weighed
16l to Wilson's 200, been able to
steer clear OF lambasting Will
liam's heavy artillery, the out
come of the battle might have
been greatly different.
The cards semi-final engage
ment took up very little of the
snappy shows time. Red Beard,
the Wilmington redhead with fire
in his heart and dynamite in his
mitts, swatted Pat Tony of Pitts
burg into sweet slumner in l
minute and 2 seconds of the first
round. Two other affrays ended
in kayoes as Bev Saunders iced
Marine CPL. Jackie Gritzmore in
the second round and Sgt. Arne
Lawrence stopped Wilmington S
Dick OVERLY in the second chap
ter of their scheduled four round
fracaS.
The Buddy Best-C. M. Carter
clash had the fans roaring with
excitement and later with dissat-
isfaction. Due to a mixup in the
number of rounds the fight was
slated to go, no decision was
made. Carter was at first award
ed the bout after four stanzas of
wild swinging, but Best protest
ed by asserting that the tiff was
scheduled for five rounds.
Promoter Huck Lilies announced
Best nna the daring deputy
sheriff will meet again on his next
card.

BY BILL McILWAIN

In an indescribable display of
courage, Marine George Esch-
man weathered everything Bill
Wilson could inflict as he battled
doggedly in their ten-round bout
at the American Legion Arena
Friday night. Although Wilson
won the fight, the plucky Esch-
man won the whole-hearted adj
miration of every fan present by
simply refusing to be knocked
out.
Wilson crashed game George
to the canvass with numerous
thunderous rights only to see the
fighting Leatherneck climb to his
feet and wade in with both hands
failing away. Big Bill clouted
Eschman to the floor for nine
counts on eight occasions. The
never-say-die Eschman was out
as cold as block of ice at the
close of several rounds but after
revival surged out for the next
heat with renewed aggression.
In the opening rounds, before
betting Billy tagged him with his
TINT rights, Eschman electrified

Ry the Assnciated press

By the Associated Press.
PLYMOUTH, England, Jan. 81
Thomas Duncan Webb, 81, a Lon
don Daily Express reporter charged
with communicating information
concerning ship movements con-
trary to defense regulations, was
convicted and fined ESQ $4,000 yes
terday after the court decided
"carelessness, rather than intent"
was to blame.
1t. Neil David Campbell testified
he overheard Webb mention the
names of two ships and something
about American troops" during a
telephone call he made from a
booth in a Plymouth hotel lobby the
night of January 18. Webb denied
mentioning American troops and
the Daily Express said the record of
the telephone conversation did not
include such a reference.
The defense explained that Webb,
assigned to cover ship arrivals, was
communicating to his Office inform
alton in an authorized manner and
had no knowledge the booth was
not soundproof. The court agreed
there was no offense in giving his
Office matter which was to be sub
mitted to censorship, but held that
he permitted secret information to
reach the ears of people not en-
titled to hear it,"

|Sfeinberg Convicted
OF EmbezzIing $1,000
From Liquor Dealer

Albert w. Steinberg, 43, was found
guilty last night Of embezzling more
than $4,000 from Forman. Inc,
wholesale liquor dealers, while serv-
ing the firm as bookkeeper and of
flee manager.
A District Court jury, which re-
turned the verdict after celebrating
approximately four hours, found
him guilty on So counts of a IL
count indictment.
The jurors had been informed by
Justice Matthew F. Mcclure that a

embezzlement. The defense had
contended the books had been
manipulated and money taken out

man, president Of the firm, who, the

payment of income taxes Mr.. For
man, however, claimed that the first
he knew of any shortage was in
l942. after the alleged embezzle-
ments.
When the verdict was returned
at about $50 o'clock last night,
Steinberg collapsed in a chair and
had to be supported by Defense At
torney Austin F. Garfield.
Each Of the SO counts of the in
dictment carries maximum PEN
atty OF 10 years in prison, or a

sented to the continuance.

England, Not ReieLoser
fn Action, Ribbentrop Says

LONDON, Jan. n R.-Germar
Foreign Minister Joachim Won Rib
bentrop decried today what he
termed Argentina's surrender tc
United States "benevolence" and de-
clared that in the end England, not
Germany, was the loser by the Ar
gentine severance OF diplomatic re-
lations with the Axis.
"The United States tried for years
to bring about rupture Of diplo-
matte relations between the Ar
gentine government and the Axis,
Won Ribbentrop was quoted in a
dispatch broadcast by the Berlin
radio.
"She did not shrink from any
means, any blackmail, to achieve her
purpose. The Ramirez government
has now yielded to pressure and
surrendered the sovereignty of the
country to United States 'benevo-
lence.'
'"The motivation given in Buenos
Aires for the break-the alleged par
ticipation of members Of the Ger
man Embassy in an espionage af-
fairs completely untrue. It is
merely further proof that the Ar
gentine government is not master
of her own decisions any longer.
Germany practically loses moth
ing - : neither In regard to prose-
cution Of the war nor in postwar
interests. The real loser in this
diplomatic act is England. England,
in the course OF the war, has been
compelled to sacrifice the major
part of her Central and South Amer
ican interests to the United States
ally. She finally is going to lose her
position in Argentina"

Debate Rail Labor
Issue Before Club
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, jan 27.-A railway
management representative last
night proposed that findings Of the
Presidents Emergency Board in rail-
way labor disputes be made binding
for the wars duration, while union
Representative declared that Federal
bureaucracy must not hamstring in
centive to raise living standards.
The speakers, r. v. Fletcher, vice
president of the American Associa-
ton Of Railroads, and David B.
Robertson, president of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, gave addresses before
the Economic Club Of New York.
"As the law stands now, either
party is privileged to ignore the
judgments Of the Emergency Board,
said Mr.. Fletcher.
Without raising any question as
to the fairness and adequacy OF
such an arrangement in normal
times it seems to me that In
time of war, when sacrifice Is the
watchword of the Nation, the legis-
lative body may well provide that
the decisions Of the arbitral body
shall have the force of compulsion. +"
Mr.. Robertson, said he favored
private ownership and management
Of the railroad industry, and added
"Disillusioning experiences Of the
recent past in our relation to in
creasing bureaucracy at Washington
have convinced me that many of
us perhaps should change the shop
worn expression Of coupon clippers
to that Of opportunity clippers as
applied to some of those who ap-
parently command the Government

As Youthful Clerk

One Of the Districts outstanding
success stories ended last night
with the death Of DR.. Malcolm G.
Gibbs. who came here from Ten
nessee as youth Of 20 and gradu-
ally built up one OF the largest drug
store chains in the Nation. He
was IS.
The chairman of the board and
founder of the 100 Peoples Drug
Stores, operating here and in six
States, died at 1890 pm. at Casualty
Hospital His death was attributed
to an asthmatic and bronchial all
ment. Until he entered the hospital
10 days ago he had been in normal
health, according to business asso-
ciates.
Funeral services for DR.. Gibbs will
be held at pm. Saturday at St.
Adams Episcopal Church, with DR..
Charles T. Warner. pastor, reading
the ritual. Afterward his body will
be cremated and his ashes placed in
a crypt in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
He came originally from Union
City, Tenn. where one brother, Harry
D. Gibbs. still lives A son, 1t. Col.
Henry F. Gibbs, So, stationed in
Washington, and another brother,
Alphonso Gibbs Of Thompson, Tenn,
are the only survivors in his imme-
diate family. The late Mrs. Maude
Foote Gibbs, from whom the doctor

DR.. Gibbs, the son Of w. B. Gibbs
Of Union City, Tenn, a farmer and
newspaper editor, came here just
before the turn of the century. Ac-
cording to his biographers, he was
hopeful Of entering either news
paper work or the Government but
was unable to find an opening.
Faced with the problem of earn
ing living, he took a job as a $3.50
a-week clerk in Mertz Modern Phar-
macy, meanwhile preparing himself
for his future vocation by a course
at the National College Of Phar-
macy.
In 1905, he had accumulated suf-
ficient experience and capital to
launch his own business career.
The seed Of the big-scale drug busi-
ness which DR.. Gibbs headed at
the time of his death was planted
in a single small store which he
opened at 824 Seventh street in
1905.
The business fiourished, and soon
DR.. Gibbs was founding other stores
in Washington. Years later he told
an interviewer that he had no par
ticular ambition in his early days to
become a drug tycoon but that Il
got so many good men on my hands
had to put them somewhere.
Throughout his career. DR.. Gibbs
took great pride in the personnel Of
his organization and all his execu-
tires arose from the ranks Of clerks
and pharmacists.
The phenomenal growth OF the
Peoples Drug Stores, one Of DR..
Gibbs old associates recalled today
continued until the First World War
Then the firm entered q static pc
Rod which was followed by another
surge of growth during the 1920s
that has continued until the present
