Youth Appears in Bout at Arena
While Under Arrest in Robbery

The amateur fights at Turner's
Arena Friday night were the scene
of ringside drama containing all
the elements of Hollywood script
minus the happy ending-but not
fan in the audience knew it.
Spectators watching Billy Waugh,
19-year-old lightweight, go down in
defeat before Richard Staples in a
three-round bout saw only two game
youths slugging it out toe to toe.
Beneath Waugh's grimaces as he
WINGED under his opponents blows,
however, there was anxiety not
caused by slashing lefts and rights.
Waiting for him in the rear of the
arena were three policemen.
After the fight they took him
away. Actually, he had been under
arrest as he fought, for detectives
had taken him into custody in his
dressing room before he entered
the ring, charging him with robbing
the home Of former Representative
Maury Maverick, at 1899 Jefferson
place NV, on February 5.

Moore said. "The ship didn't seem
to want to land.
"I1l never forget my farewell
handshake with the engineer, who
was at the controls as we bailed out.
I landed among a herd of sheep
and they ran all over the place.
II was all right until got back
here-then I went to pieces and
cried like a baby"
While the engineer was seeking
to bring the plane down, almost
every American airman on the
ground knew he was up and was
pulling for him. From one base
to another for more than two hours
he flew the Fortress trying to find
his way home. = - A dozen con-
troll towers talked to him by radio.

base in cool voice. II don't know

Two Crewmen Cover Themselves With GLORY,

A UNITED STATES BOMBER
STATION IN ENGLAND, Feb. 21.-
From five gunners came the story
today of how the engineer and the
navigator of a bullet-torn Fortress
tried to bring 1t homt from Leipzig
yesterday-and failed gloriously.
+ The story began when a burst of
cannon fire from enemy fighters
killed the co-pilot and seriously
wounded the pilot.
The first thought of the top tur-
ret gunner, Carl w. Moore of Will
Transport, Pa, was to save the ship.
He rushed to the cockpit, pulled the
dead and wounded men from the
controls and took over.
Moore and the engineer had only
eight hours plotting experience and
the navigator four, but among them
they took turns flying the plane
home, standing up for about three
hours before they could get the
dead ana wounded men from their
flying seals.

Second Time in 7 DAYS

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Nazi air raid
ers scattered incendiaries and ex-
plosives over London In a short but
fierce attack last night which sci
many fires and caused some casual
ties.
Ihe assault apparently was staged
IN an attempt to repeat the big fire
raid which was carried out against
London early Saturday-the heav-
lest blow since the attacks of 194O-41
The Germans followed the same
pattern last night, tanning out in
all directions in an effort to con-
fuse the defenses and scattering
nrebombs indiscriminately.
The attacking force. evidently wos
smaller than that of Saturday. when
it was estimated that $50 planes
came over the city. First reports
indicated that at least three planes
had been shot down.
The alert, which began about 10
pm. lasted approximately one hour
There was second brief alert at
1926 am, apparently touched off
by enemy reconnaissance planes. :
Three schools, a Roman Catholic
convent, hotel, several apartment
houses. a number of business prop
critics and many private homes
were burned out.
The Berlin radio described the
raid Is q massive assault.

There was no information as tc
the extent of Japanese resistance on
either Engebi or Eniwetok Islands

Engebi in six hours, and advanced

indicated that prelanding bomb

EniWetok Island guards the broad
southern entrance into the lagoon

|Baruch Plan Defended
|As Largely Dependent
On Action by Congress-
NeorIy Every Phose
Of Reconversion Chart
Coils for Legislation
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

While congressional critics
blasted the Baruch recon-
version plan as means of
by-passing Congress in settling
the Nations economic future,
persons familiar with the entire
report pointed out today that
nearly every phase is dependent
on legislative action.
Chairman George of the Senate
Postwar Planning Committee, said
the report of Bernard M. Baruch
and John M. Hancock was irrecon-
cilable with the committees postwar
plan in that it placed the economic
destiny Of the country completely in
the hands of the executive depart
ment. Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan, also a mem
Der of the postwar committee, backed
up this statement.
The Baruch plan recommends es-
tablishment of only two new impor-
tant posts-an administrator to
handle disposal of war surplus
property and work director to deal
with 'the human problems of de-
mobilization. While the posts
would be created probably by execu-
tive order, it was pointed out the
jobs would be imperative without
legislative help.
Would Report to Congress.
Mr.. Baruch suggested the surplus
property administrator be appointed
by the President so that he could
start Immediately to dispose of war
surpiuses already accommodating
which are threat to the Nations S
economy. The report stated, how
ever, that the administrator should
report to Congress "as soon as pos
sible on legislation that is needed -
without which he could not operate
effectively.
The position of work director
could be set up by Congress in the
Ofi1ce of War Mobilization, it was
pointed out, although Mr.. Baruch
suggested executive appointment.
In any event, the report specified
that the director work with Con-
gress on the whole human side of
demobilization."
In addition, it was recommended
that single House and Senate COM
mittees, or joint committee, be
established to work with the direc-
tor "on combined program of
legislation and operations.
Other Legislation Needed.
The other important phase of the
national change over from war to
peace-contract termination and
conversion of plants to civilian pro-
duction-is almost altogether de-
pendent on new legislation.
1t was felt by proponents of the
Baruch plan that many of it's critics
had not read. the complete report.
Senator George, the severest critic
so far, admitted his opinions were

TIE BALTIC
TERROR
Editorial,
Chicago Daily TribulTc)

When Hitler and Stain joined
hands in the pact that started the
war, Stain was given control Of
the Baltic States. As soon as his
soldiers moved. in, the terror was
instituted. People who were known
or thought 10 be hostile to Russia
were arrested, generally in the dead
of night and frequently with their
families. The men were promptly
separated from their wives and
children and sent into exile, often
to the remoter corners of Siberia.
The families were also exiled and
every effort has been made to pre-
vent them from communicating
witt, each other or with their home
land.
COL LAMA is inclined to think
the purpose Of tie Russians was
not only the obvious one OF dcpriv-
ing the little countries Of their ma
tural leaders but also the more
subtle one of terrorizing the rest
of the population . F.. When Rus
sia and Germany went to war the
people rose instantly, not because
wished to be subject to Hitler but
because anything seemed better to
them than the Russian tyranny.
Needless to say, there is nothing
in this record which should occasion
any surprise. The methods en-
ployed by the bolsheviks in the
Baltic States were precisely those
which were to be expected of them
because they had used them against
their own people with equal harsh
