ARCHER-L,ARKIN
FIGHT TONIGHT

NEW YORK, June 1 - R -
Freddie Archer and Tippy Larkin,
New Jersey welterweights, are
scheduled to clash tomorrow night
in Madison Square gardens TO-
round headliner, but promoter
Mike Jacobs won't breathe easily
until they're actually scrapping.
Three years ago when Larkin
was getting ready for Garden
scrap with Bobby Ruffin, Larkin
shot himself in the shoulder while
cleaning a rifle W h e n Jacobs
learned that Larkin had a rifle at
his Greenwood Lake training quar-
tiers this week he sent Telephone
and telegraph messages as well as
personal envoy to persuade the
Jersey scrapper to put that gun
down" until after the fight.
Archer, after a tour of service
with the Seebees, was discharged
in January because of a missing
great toe from his right foot, but
he's won five straight since then.

Bill Miller is the hubby little

he needs no help in footing his

that for him, as everything his

shown beneficial results.
Now when you get boffed in the

might think it coincidence. But
the third time and thereafter it's
neither accident r coincidence.
It's monotonous.

Health Programs Are Live Issues In
 Number Of States
American Medical Association Strangely Silent As De mand For Adequate Medical Care Becomes Too
 Strong For Politicians To Ignore

That the demand for more adequate medical care for Americans has be- come too strong for politicians to ignore is indicated by proposals being advanced in a number of states. The matter promises to become a live is- sue in state legislatures which meet in regular session next year.
 Strangely-Or not so strangely on closer examination this move ment in the states is not being openly opposed by the Doctors Trust'', which thus far has suc- ceeded in throttling similar pro- pOsals at Washington.
 MAKE PRETENSE AT LEAST
 The American Medical Associa- ton, which shouts bloody murder when anything tending toward ''sO- cialized medicine" is sought on the Potomac, in some instances is mak- ing at least a pretense of going along with the trend in the states.
 Pioneer in the movement is Gov ernor J. Howard McGrath, who pro- posed a compulsory disqualification plan to the Rhode Island legislature this year. He originally suggested that cost of assuring hospital service to workers, which he estimated would be five cents day, be shared equally by employers and employees. Subse- quently he insisted that employers be required to bear the full cost.
 Rhode Island already has the distinction of being the only state with a law providing compensation for workers during illness. It was put through the legislature by Gov ernOr McCrath as part of his labor program.
 The governor recently said that he believed the workers would rebel en masse if an attempt were made to deprive them of their social benefit. :"
 A proposal for a state-spOnsored insurance system, including hOspi- tai, surgical operation, sickness, bodily injury and maternity bene- fits, has been filed for cOnsidera- ton by the Massachusetts legisla- ture next year.
 Slated for consideration by the North Carolina legislature is Gov ernor J. M. Broughton's plan for the establishment of a four-year medical school and hospital at Chapel Point, N. C., with smaller hospitals in stra- tegic points throughout the state. The object is to provide adequate medical and hospital care for all residents of the state.
 Creation of a state-controlled disqualification program, to cost several million dollars yearly, would be provided under an ini- tiated act which will appear on the November ballot in Arkansas.
 Governor Colgate w. Darden of Virginia is backing a program of disqualification for rural areas.
 In Washington the plans being pushed in the, states are not regarded as removing the need of Federal leg islation, but rather as increasing 1t.

cent higher than in January, l94l, the base month of the Little-Steel Formula, but seven and three-tenths per cent lower than year ago.
 The fractional decline in average food cost was largely due to decreased prices for fresh and canned fish, and a slight drop in the average prices of fresh fruits and vegetables. Price rises were reported for eggs, various cuts of beef, veal and lamb, and for cereals and bakery products. Among canned goods, No. ? cans of tomatoes were unchanged, whereas No. 25a cans of peaches increased two and one-tenth per cent from the May price level. Potatoes, averaging slightly over 68 cents per peck, were two and six-tenths per cent higher than in May. Carrots, which averaged 10.2 cents per bunch, were seven and tour-tenths per cent above the pre- vious month.
 There was a wide range of prices for many foods reported to the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics. Potatoes sold from 57 to 99 cents per peck, a No. 21z can of peaches ranged in price 23 to 37 cents, round steak from 40 to 65 cents, coffee from 20 to 40 cents, and a ten-pound sack of flour from 48 to 30 cents. Fresh vegetable prices displayed the usual broad range in price as in the case of spinach, which ranged from 8 to Is cents per pound, while green beans ranged from IA to 21 cents per pound. The wide range in prices reflects the many brands, qualities, and store classifications throughout the city.
 The average retail cost of food to wage earners and lower -salaried workers in Bridgeport, as measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, did not change from mid-May to mid June.
 Average food costs in Bridge port are now 8.6 per cent lower than in June of last year. That group of foods purchased for $lO in January, l94l, now cost $l3.62 and have shown Al per cent rise since the outbreak of war in Flu rope in August, l939.

Jurist Accuses
 OPAOf Having2 Kinds Of Justice
Philadelphia Judge Refuses To Permit Chiselers To
 Escape With Fines

PHILADELPHIA-Making good his declaration that ''justice will play no favOrites' in his court, Federal Judge Cullen Caney this week refused to sign consent de- crees letting two wealthy meat packers, convicted of price chisel- ing, off with fines.
 Judge Clancy denounced the O..P. A. for having two brands of justice for violatorS against its regulations - a tender grade for the big, powerful offenders, tough grade for the little fellows.
 He declared that criminal prose- cutiOns should have been brought against the packers as willful vio- lators of the law. His action was applauded by another Federal judge, Harry E. Kalodner, who served notice he, too, will refuse to sign consent decrees where there have been deliberate violations.
 During the last term of court, Judge Clancy recalled, he sent 50 small violators to jail, for periods ranging from 30 to 60 days, and he asked:
 "How would these little fellows, sitting in their prison cells, feel if they picked up newspaper and read that big packer or other large dealer was let off with a fine for greater offenses than those for which they were sent to prison?
 "What sort of yardstick does the 0. P. A. use to determine what proceedings shall be instituted against price violators?
 One of these packers sold 1O4,OOO pounds of meat over a hve-month period, collecting $7,0OO more than he knew he had a right to get for his products.
 You don't mean to say he didn't know he was doing wrong when he collected that much more than the law allows?
 ''This court does not intend to place premium on violations nor to give chiselers any reason to be- lieve that if they should happen to be caught they will suffer nothing worse than restitution of a part of the illegal profits they have col lected.''
