NEW YORK, March 30 = Lou Nova, reformed Yogi-man, and Joe Baski, reformed coal miner, clash this evening in Madison Square Garden in the third consecutive heavyweight headline bout in that arena.
 The Nova career is notable more for such things as "cosmic punch" dynamic stance" and odd diets, than for consistent ring per- formance. Nova is now handled by that veteran manager James John- ston and pre-fight publicity has made it appear that Baski will be fighting both Nova and his man. ager.

The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON ct. Col. Robert 8. Allen now on active
 service with the Army.s

WASHINGTON-President Roose- velt's meeting with Arab ruler Ibn Saud was the topic of vigorous discussion at significant meeting of 1000 Jewish leaders at the Hotel Astor in New York recently. It may have interesting repercussions. Con- siderable criticism was directed at Roosevelt for his remark that he had learned more about the Mos lems and the Jews in five minutes with Ibn Saud than he could have learned in dozen letters.
 Congressman Emanuel Celler, New York Democrat and staunch Roosevelt supporter, was one of the most vehement critics of the Presi- dent at the New York meeting.
 There were one million Jews in and around my district in New York who voted for Roosevelt un- animously. essman Celler said. Their vote made the differ ence between his victory or defeat.
 ''The Jews" he continued, do not propose to stand for this sort of thing. Roosevelt is going to have to learn that he can't fool all of the Jews all of the time"
 Senator Ed Johnson, Colorado Democrat, but usually a Roosevelt hater, was also a speaker at the meeting and gleefully joined in the criticism. Referring to the state ment that Roosevelt had learned so much about the Palestinian question from the King of Saudi Arabia in five minutes, Senator Johnson said:
 Tt is very strange how the Presi- dent could have learned anything about the Jewish question from Ibn Saud. Ibn Saud had never before been outside his own kingdom, and

PARIS, March 30.-First Army tanks, shearing the Ruhr from Ger many. streaked northward so fast that contact was lost with head quarters in the rear. but broad cast enemy ecmmunaque said some armored troops had reached Bad- wildungen, 20 miles southwest of Kassel, and i90 miles from Berlin.
 In one of the swiftest advances of the war, Gen. Hodges powerful for ces are driving past the headwaters of the Ruhr toward a junction with the Twenty first Army group. which is swinging across Westphalia on the open roads of north Germany.
 The last definitely pinpointed position reached by the First Army in their push northward was ten miles south of Paderborn Here the FirstArmy was 65 miles from British troops, and l86 miles from Berlin.
 30 Miles Inland
 Both distances have been reduced appreciably in the intervening hours by the First Army column which the enemy said was approaching Kassel. Moving in a different dir ection, and apparently slower than the tanks curling around the Ruhr, at one position the British Second Army on the northern lip of the Ruhr is thirty miles inland from the Rhine, to and beyond Dor isten."
 A field dispatch said Great Ruhr cities such as Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Mulheim, Oberhausen, Bochum. and Recklinghausen have thus been by-passed at that point.
 It was announced nearly 24 hours ago the British were l3 miles from Dortmund and g mics from Hamm. the eastern exit from the Ruhr Valley, while the U s. Ninth Army is driving eastward in echelon.
 Break Through Line The British broke clear through German lines in the Ruhr itself, af- ter knocking the first-rate German 116th Tank Division off it's feet in the Zeckel area, just north of Glad bach.
 The Ninth Army has captured 10000 prisoners since crossing the Rhine, and this seemed to be the pattern of the west front onslaught. with British forces driving to seal off the north German ports and moving with the Ninth Army toward meeting with the First Army to box off the Ruhr.
 The Third Army is gouging through middle Germany toward the Russian lines, while the Seventh Army is moving into position to slice off mountainous southern Ger many, where Nazi war criminals may try to hole up.
