not take too great toll, about sou

Mahoney, who never has been
pessimistic despite the ODT ruling
against transporting hor by rail-
road or common carrier, said he
couldn't get involved in other wa
terWays, but saw no reason why
Florida's winter season could not
be assured in the same manner.

PITTSBURGH RING
SCANDAL IS TOLD

PITTSBURGH, July 10. -U.H- A
prizefight scandal in which q
heavyweight suspended for an eve
injury allegedly attempted to gain
reinstatement by having another
man take his medical examination
prompted the State Athletic Com
mission today to order a full in.
quiry.
Chairman Leon Rains announced
from Atlantic City, N. j., that the
hearing would open in Pittsburgh
as soon as he could arrange trans.
portation and the main witness
would be Eddie Kapphan, manager
of the suspended fighter.
Kapphan, according to Athletic
Commissioner Matty Balm, was i'm.
pile both by the fighter, Harry
Bobo. one-time top-notch Negro
heavyweight. and by Louis (Blon.
dy) Ryan. who allegedly sat in for
Bobo at the eye examination.
kapphan, however, made public
letter which he said he had sent
Ryan by registered mail last May
II in which he asserted Bobo would
never fight under his management
unless Il am guaranteed by my
own physician after he does pass
physical examination"
Before Rains announced the com.
mission would hold hearing in the
case, Balm said that he personally
was not interested in prosecution
and that Bobo's suspension stood,
following new examination which
confirmed his condition.
1.-THE greatest crime they com.
mitted was against themselves"
he added. "Bobo was suspended
for his own good"
The Pennsylvania commission
had repeatedly denied Bobo's 1e-
quests for reinstatement. Finally,
Balm said, Ryan posed as Bobo
and underwent an eye examination
at Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia,
May 10 with the idea of using the
report in a new plea for Bobo's
reinstatement.
The plan went wrong, Balm said,
when Ryan told his story to
Pittsburgh newspaperman. He in
turn notified the Commission which
arranged a State police investiga-
ton with the result that both Bobo
and Ryan signed statements de-
failing the plot.

that Janiro is making his first main

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-01
By R. H. SHACKFORD

San. Francisco, June 1-(UP)- French use of force to get conces- Sions from Syria and Lebanon today strengthened the revolt by the little United Nations against absolute big five domination of the new league to keep peace.
 In the near eastern dispute two of the members of the proposed or ganiZation have been, in effect, at war" A third, Britain, with U. S. approval has had to intervene with force.
 United Nations conference offl- cials were trying desperately to keep such issues as the Levant out of the proceedings here. But the near eastern crisis has hung over every meeting like a dark cloud far more ominously even than fall ure of the big three to settle the Polish issue.
 Every delegate was extremely con- scious of the fact that the world organization if it were now in exist ence would be unable to take effec- tice action in the near east because France, a permanent membe-, would be able to veto any decision which It did not like.
 The Levantine conflict also gave a hollow ring to an already agreed upon principle" of the new organ- tzation-the pledge by all members to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial in tegrity or political independence of any member" France, Syria and Le- banon are all members of the United Nations and under the new charter would recognize the "sover- eign equality of each other.
 The big power argument for a veto over virtually all decisions or action by the new organization has been based on two premises That the big i've have a preponderance of military power with which tc keep the peace; and that the big five do not have aggressive tenden- cies.
 The little powers have argued against that the French-bevant in- cident emphasizes their main argu- ment-what happens when one o1 the big powers does use force? And they point out that if the organiza- tion were in operation it could dc nothing beyond investigate anc recommend a settlement.
 An early big five meeting is eX- pected to try to reach a common decision on host of pending prob lens, chief of which is the inter- pretation of the Yalta voting for mula.
 The French-Levant bloodshed ha. left direct imprint on the pro- ceedingS here. At the trusteeshir committee meeting yesterday. the delegate from Iraq, neighbor O Syria and former British man.

Nine Army Barracks Destroyed By Bloze

Indianapolis. June l - (U,PD - Shots were fired when fire des- troyed nine barracks in the diScip- linary compound of Fort Benjamin Harrison last night.
 Lieutenant D. B Ehrhart post public relations officer, said there seemed to be some confusion" He said some shots were fired, but there have been no reports of cas- ualties'
 He refused to elaborate.
 A fireman. Everett Jackson, 49 died today of a stroke suffered while he was fighting the flames.
 It was reported unofficially that prisoners of the compond had riot ed, but this could not be confirmed.
 Damage to the compound, which housed approximately 5000 U. S. Army prisoners, was estimated at $100000 Ehrhart said the cause of the fire had not been determined

jContinuec from Page D president said he was attempting to bring his views on peacetime uni versal military training into agree ment with those of the army, navy and Congress so that general, overall plan could be announced.
 He said under questioning that he had been in conference with House and Senate leaders on the question. He said they were now trying to work out policy.
 The president volunteered that he had some views of his own that did not agree with those of the army, the navy, and Congress. But as soon as he could get basic policy in form, he will announce it, MT. Tru- man said.
 Pacific Army Doubled
 President Truman in a special message to Congress today stressed the importance of full national sup port of the continuing fight against Japan.
 He pointed out that our army in the Pacific ultimately will be twice as big as the army there now. It will be larger than our army was in Europe at it's height.
 MT. Truman set forth his appeal in message about 5000 words in length. Because of this length, the White House was not able to make the text available to neWsmen in advance of delivery. Instead, the White House issued brief analysis of major points made by the presi- dent:
 In addition to indicating the ul- timate size of the Pacific army-in excess of $500 ,O60-the president also:
 l. Called for workers in ship yards to repair damage done by the Japanese suicide attacks on ou1 vessels.
 2. Noted that the navy had tc repel efforts at submarine blitz directed toward our Atlantic coast in the last days of the European war
 3. Requested civilians to abstain from travel more than ever. This is necessary to relieve the strain or domestic rail transportation due to mass movement of troops to theil homes and to the Pacific.
 The president in expressing a de- termination to fight the Japanese war to the finish, outlined the diff faculties and dangers still ahead.
 He also explained what the gov ernment had done so far in rede- ployment and partial demobilizatior of troops

date, told the committee that the major need was recognition of hu- man rights and the scrapping of racial superiority and arrogance.
 Another result of the fighting in the Near East, is a touch of the cold shoulder to France here. French officials were understood to have called twice within recent hours on American officials seeking support for the French amendment on ex- emption of bilateral defense treaties such as that between France and Russia. They were said to have been told by the Americans that this was hardly the time for France to be asking special favorS or special con- Sideration.
 Despite difficulties the conference has crept along bit. There were these late developments:
 TrusteeShips-eXperts said the big five and the conference were very close to complete accord' and Chairman Fraser expected the trus- | teeShip committee to finish it's work l early next week. The committee accepted a compromise on the word independence" e"-including it as an objective for trusteed peoples but not for dependent peoples generally. The big five are still consulting on RuSSia'S proposal to remove a sec tion which would in effect prevent any change-for better or worse for present mandated peoples.
 Security council--A full confer ence committee accepted, except for one phrase, redraft of the Cana dian proposal under which the council would have to invite a non- membG- to participate in it's de- cisions when they contemplated us- ing the military contingents of that non-member to suppress aggression.
 World Court-The court commit tee agreed unanimously in principle that the court should give advisory opinions on legal questions at the request of the assembly or council. !. but rejected a similar proposal for court advisory opinions at the re- quest of specialized inter-goyern- mental agencies like the ILO
