ment until the 9Th.
Now the Jackie Graves-Harry
Jaffra fight should be a dandy with
all the trimmings and what not, but
how come Stecher didn't contact
the great little Negro fighter,
Jackie Wilson, who beat Harry Jaf-
fra? Pm only asking.
But then again, realizing condi-
lions of a promoter and fighters
as well as trying to please most
everyone, perhaps we all should be
content with what we have.
Jaffra is a great little fighter
and if he is only One-half the fight
er he was a few years ago he
should be able to take our Jackie
to the cleaners. But then again
funny things can happen so don't
count our Jackie out just yet.
Jaffra promises to arrive at least
five days before the fight and as
soon as 1 size him up in his work
outs then perhaps We'll have a win
ner picked for you.
In the meantime fans are asking
and some begging the promoter
why not a Charley Riley-Jackie
Graves fight? And what does a
man have to do or who does Riley
have to beat before he can get a
chance at Graves?
Stecher says that he will use
Riley on the February 9Th card if
he can find an opponent for him.
1t is the opinion of this writer
that if and when they do meet that
Riley will win.
I can also predict that the match
will be made sometime in February
or early in March.

celIent is taken for granted; that
Dukes band is in top form and
solid as a rock can also be taken
for granted. Both are true, Of
course, but the new vocal depart
ment of Dukes band deserves add
ed comment as an entirely new ele-
ment in Ellingtonia.
Joya Sheriff., lovely young De-
troit girl who was with Duke once
before, sings on both Il Didn't
Know About You" and I'm Begin
ming To See The Light" Joya's
vocals are sparkling and sincere.
They are melodic and meaningful in
their presentation. The gal is
definitely a hit ballad singer. Al
Hibbler sings on Don't You Know
l Care" and Il Amt Got NOthin'
But The Blues" in a booming bari
tone which throbs with expression.
His work, too, on the more moody
ballads is impressive. Still a third
vocal element is Kay Davis, the gal
who does the impressive obbligato
over Hibbler's voice on II Amt Got
Nothin' But The Blues"
One of the greatest tunes on the
Harlem Hit Parade is ballad-blues
number, Il Wonder" Written by
a Negro soldier stationed in Cali
fornia for his wife in Chicago,
the tune has caught on like mad.
Bluebird releases the tune this
month by Roosevelt Sykes, a Chi
cago pianist-singer, who plays a
torrid moody blues piano. A fixture
in the Chicago area and well known
as a jazz great, Sykes proves his
ability on this disc, working with
electric guitar and drums. The
plattermate is a subtle rhythm
song composed by Sykes, Mellow
Queen" Both sides of the wax are
excellent work of their kind and
both display we'll the wares of
Roosevelt Sykes.

says she can't do any more for me.
Would you advise me to get an
other job or stay on here and con-
tinue to hope for more money?
Ans.-If the salary you are now
making isn't sufficient to meet your
living expenses, then you must get
another job. Living from hand to
mouth is a terrible mental strain
and a bad habit to get into.
There are many permanent posi-
lions open now Offering fair living

L.P.-I have a niece and she is
nearly blind. She can see a little
out of one eye. Would it be of
any help to her if 1 carry her to an
eye specialist?
Ans.-There could be no kinder
or humanitarian deed that you
could do for this girl than to carry
her to a good eye specialist. If her
eye sight is restored she will see
that you are amply repaid for all

Army Denies FurIoughed Men
Get Shipping Space Priority

The War Department said today
that some space on homeward-
bound ships Is being allotted to men
returning for temporary duty" or
furloughs at home, but denied they
had higher priority for transporta-
ton than high-point men. Most of
the space is allotted to the high-point
men, the department said.
The War Department statement
came after Representative Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican, of Maine
made public letter from a soldier
in the Pacific complaining that
high-point men are being held
overseas to make room on ships for
men who re-enlist. r,
The soldier wrote that the high
point men are so angry that there
are riots around town and excessive
drinking and brawls every night"
He added that last night six men
were killed when some one threw a
hand grenade in local cafe during
a point argument.
A War Department spokesman
said the men returning home for
temporary duty include Regular
Army officers and men who re-
enlist. They are given furloughs at
home and then return to join the
armies of occupation, the depart
ment said.

Krupp
Continued From First Page.)


130 years, and I prefer to have a
live Krupp on the stand" Justice
Jackson declared.
The United States prosecutor con-
f1rmed an earlier report that a med
ical commission had warned that
any attempt to move the elder
Krupp from a hospital at Salzburg
at this time probably would be fatal.
Alfred Krupp, SO, is sole owner of
the Krupp factories that were de-
voted to munitions.
Young Enough to Be Menace.
Justice Jackson said he hoped to
get him on the stand as a defendant
because he was still young enough to
be regarded as a potential menace.
THE future peace of the world can
be menaced by Alfred Krupp,"
Justice Jackson said.
Questioned about the circumstance
by which Alfred Krupp escaped in
dictment, Justice Jackson said:
"We were for it, but were voted
down three to one. I want to make
it clear that the dissenting votes
weren't cast because of tenderness
on the part of our Allies, but because
they considered the list of "a de-
PENDANTS sufficient. At that time the
elder Krupp's physical condition was
not nearly so serious as it is now"
Krupp Application Opposed.
Justice Jackson in his motion op-
posed the application on behalf oi
Gustav Krupp that his trial be
deferred until he is again fit fol
trial" ...
Should the tribunal grant the ap-
plication, the practical effect would
be to quash all proceedings for all
time against Gustav Krupp.
The United States motion said:
The request that Krupp neither
be brought to court nor tried in
absentia is based on the contention
that the interest of justice requires
that he be thus excused from any
form of trial. Public interests
which transcend all private consid-
erations, require that some other
representative of the Krupp arma-
ment and munitions interests be
substituted"

said the Army was using furloughs
home as a method to force re-

ton is that if you know you can't

Naturally" he added, "all of
these requirements who are Just
overseas and have no points to speak
Of are signing up like mad as they
get a beautiful cash bonus and
would have to be in the Army at

He said he had seen cases where
high-point men are taken off ships
so that recruits" can 60 home.
Mrs. Smith said she had written
Secretary of War Patterson that II
the soldiers charges are true 'it Is
most unfair and unjust"
Surely men willing to re-enlist,
she added, should be given some
incentive but not to this extent
especially when it comes about by
unfairness to the men of long
service"
