 MIX GONG TO GONG BATTLE
Indiana Willie Avenges Former Reverse by Ndr-
 row Garden Decision
By SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Fep. l6. Willie Joyce and Allie Stolz staged one of the greatest lightweight punch par ties in Madison Square Gardens history last night, and after 1t was over. the referee just leaned back again the ropes and shook his head in amazement.
 He may have been thinking back to the fighting days of Benny Leon- ard. who retired as undefeated light weight champion, or he may have been figuring, like lot of the cash customers. that he had never seen a better scrap.
 But all he said was: Brother, this was it.
 And since the visibly impressed referee in the ring last night was Leonard himself, you can easily imagine what a fistic masterpiece Joyce and Stolz put on for the l4,- l37 paying guests who tossed s7o,- BPS in Mike Jacobs cash registers
 Getting even for a verdict he dropped last November, Joyce won split decision-Leonard, as referee, gave it to Stolz and the two judges voted Joyce.
 Butrit was the kind of fight that had you talking about the speed and the swatting and the cleverness of curly haired Allie and Indiana Will lie, from the opening bell to the final gong of the ten heats. The Associated Press score card voted with Benny five rounds for the New Jersey jolter, four for Joyce, one even. M

The W Washington Merry Go Round
By. DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-A Congressional committee has now spent most of the winter probing every scrap of evidence regarding Pearl Harbor. Out of this confusing mass of data, two points emerge:
 1. Congress can pass no legisla- tion which can keep admirals and generals on the alert. That de- bends solely on them. But Con- gress can pass legislation prevent ing the airplane industry, the oil companies, and the scrap-iron deal CTS from building up the power of an enemy and making it doubly hard to achieve victory. So far the Pearl Harbor Committee has kept absolutely mum about certain air. plane and oil companies which with the paradoxical consent of the U. s. Army and Navyxsold Japan many of the weapons she turned againsts the Army and Navy at Pearl Harbor. a Y 1
 2. Nothing has emerged from the Pearl Harbor findings, not hither- to published in the Roberts Re- port or in this column, which { changes the basic responsibility of the commanders who were on the spot.
 Unfortunately, Congression- al cross examination at times was so slip-shod that virtually irn- portant facts we'll known to Navy men were ignored or glossed over. Thus the public, which reads in a hurry, probably has forgotten such basic and amazing instances of ne- glect as: the fact that warship crews had been permitted shore leave, that water-tight hatches we're open, that aircraft guns we're unnamed that no ammuni- ton was readily availahle: that some guns wered even =disnantisd-a
 s--.-1 'sS re.s --i yi
 FBI WARNING
 Largely forgotten also is the fact that J. Edgar Hoover's G-men picked up a message between Tokyo and the Jap HonolulI Consulate on Dec. 6 which the FBI considered sure sign of war, but which both : General Short and Admiral Kim mel completely ignored. as
 Cross-examined before Congress, the two commanders complained that Washington didn't warn them during the last few hours before the attack; but no one on the com- mittee bothered to ask why they were SO concerned about Wash iEgton warning they paid no at tention to one received from the FBI on the spot.
 Most significant fact which the Pearl Harbor probers glossed over, however, was torpedo nets. Had this very elementary precaution heen taken, hundreds of lives would have been saved and the back hone of the Pacific fleet would not have been left lying on the muddy hottom of Pearl Hafbor.

three acres of improved pastur-
age will care for one COW about
ten months of the year. Accord
ing to AAA reports, there are
100000 acres of grass for grazing
purposes under fence in Florida.
So, you can see the surface has
barely been scratched when it
comes to improved pasturage for
cattle. Potential pasturage in
Florida, according to these fig
ures, would support more than
100000 cattle!
On good improved pasture, a
COW gains from three to 20 times
more in weight than a cow graz
ing on wire grass.
The great cattle industry of
Florida has made phenomenal
progress in the past ten years,
but It's best years are ahead.

The State Department of Educa-

proved the production of educational
films for use in schools and author
lied that the work be done by the

duction. In authorizing the plan
the department ordered that addi-
tional personnel be employed and
that production be started imme-
diately. G. Tyler Miller, State SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
said three films already are in
project. One will deal with Vir-
ginia, her heritage in American his
tory, and her resources. The second

shrines and scenes and the third will
be on forestry, including conserva-
ton and protection.

Nurse Shortage Here
Feared Acute With
New Hospital Needs

A serious nurse shortage exists
here and will become more acute as
new hospital facilities are placed in
operation unless many more young
women enroll for training courses
beginning next month, according to
Mrs. Elizabeth Coleman, chairman
of the Committee on Student Nurse
Recruitment of the Graduate Nurses
Association.
The Capital should have 300 more
graduate nurses than now are active
here. Mrs. Coleman said, and needs
$50 additional students for the new
training year. She pointed out that
only 106 women had signed up for
instruction, whereas the local quota
is 354 student nurses.
The current desperate need" for
nurses is accented by the prospect
of completion of the Georgetown
and George Washington University
Hospitals, congressional authoriza- =
ton CT new hospital center anG
plans for the Veterans Administra-
ton for construction of a new hos
pital here, Mrs Coleman explained.
Nursing careers should be attrac-
tive to women who had wartime
service in medical branches of the
armed service and to those high
school graduates who find colleges
Of their choice unable to accommo-
date them because of large enroll
ments of veterans. she said.
Those desiring to become student
nurses must be in good health, have
high school diplomas and be be-
tween 18 and IS years of age. They
should apply to any Washington
hospital having a school of nursing.
These include Gallinger. Garfield,
Georgetown, Emergency, Sibley, St.
Elizabeth's, Providence and Freed
mems.
Gallinger and st. Elizabeths, be-
ing Government institutions, paw

of about $500 annually, which need
