Keen in All Respects,
Challenger Is Given
Big Chance 10 Win
By Goyle Talbot
Associated Press Sports Writer

| GREENWOOD LAKE, N. j., June
13.-Among those who have been
watching Joe Louis and Billy Conn
train on alternate days at their
nearby camps up here in the New
Jersey hills there is a mounting con-
viction that Joe will have to get Billy
very quickly this time or lose his
title
Among the managers and former
fighters and other boxing characters
who watched the challenger box
Yesterday there was scarcely a vote
to be found for the champion, eX-
cept where one or another hedged
with the provision 80 unless Joe
hits him in the first few rounds"
Mickey Walker was so impressed
with Conn's workout that he did a
complete back-f1ip. On Tuesday the
old toy bulldog picked Louis to win.
Yesterday he picked Conn. At least,
he's going to have winner.
Conn Shows no Flaws.
1t is difficult to escape the thought
that Conn has a great chance this
time. and not just because Billy,
himself, is so amazingly confident.
The simple fact is that Conn looks
good in every respect.
Ray Carlen, who was managing
Lou Nova when the Coast fighter
got his Jumps from Louis, is down.
right astounded at the change five
years have wrought in the big Negro.
After watching Conn fit about yes
terday he said wistfully:
Il only wish Joe had been like he
is now when Nova fought him. We
would have had the championship
easy. Billy ought to beat him"
Jack Kearns was equally certain
that Conn would win, and even old
Harry Wills, who might have been
expected to string along with
member of his race, said Conn will
be all right if he doesn't forget to
duck"
Perfecting Body Attack.
So dead certain is Billy that he
can trim Joe over the 15-round route
that he now apparently is thinking
up ways and means by which he
might score a knockout Yesterday
he dropped his usual jabbing and
hooking to the head to concentrate
on dealing out heavy jolts to the
body.
From here on Conn plans to work
every day through Sunday.

Some Of the earlier similar companies established here, but now long out of existance were the Fuller & Cone Company, in the HotchkiSS block and the J. J. Jacques Com pany on Bank Street.
 Of added interest in the history of the company is it's distinction of having had as employees. at one time. the first and second female registered pharmacists in Connecti- cut. These were Miss Eleanor Bird, the first registered, and the former Margaret Coughlin, now Sister Lucy Ann of the Missionary Ser wants of the Most Blessed Trinity.

Conspiracy Case Ended Prosecutor AlcoFR
 Reported SatIeNOd
 With Results

The Waterbury conspiracy case was apparently Q closed book today, Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn found nothing to report by State Police >Comnlissloner Edward J. Hickey sufficient to justify Q re- opening of the case. Hickey's report covered circumstances surrounding the arrest of Daniel !, Leary. eX. City Comptroller who had been Q fugitive for five years, and talks that he had with Leary at Chi- cago and en route to the State Prison ct Weathersfleld, where Leary Friday began serving Q 10 to i6 year term.
 Legal observers point out that the Extraordinary Grand Jury which handled the local investi- gation has never been discharged, leaving 1t available as Q possible Investigating agency should MT. AL corn ever SO decide.
 Action against friends in other states who may have helped Leary during his absence is regarded as unlikely. but that does not rule out the possibility of proceedings against any persons connected with Leary's escape from the city March 6, i94l.
 Income tax liens filed against Leary by the Internal Revenue Burtau now total more than S2,000,- 900. Tn addition there Is a $e0o,- 9eS suit by the Citizens Good Government Association.

MiIIina Wheat Plan
 Process Obtains
 90 Percent Flour

A new and revolutionary method of milling wheat so that 1t yields the 30 per cent extraction of flour ordered by the government has been perfected by the Continental Baking Company, one of America s largest baking companies.
 Tn announcing that the instruc- tions for the new process has been rushed to millerS, M. Lee Marshall, chairman of the board of the cor- poratlon, points out that the new method-known at Straight Mill ing Extraction"-iS the continuation of experiments begun by the com pany early in iD4l when 1t appeared that greater nutritional content per pound of flour would be Q World War II necessity.
 By l942, the Earle Patented Pro- cess (which peels the outer hull off the wheat berry and takes the oit- terneSs out of whole wheat) had been developed to a point where 76 per cent of the vitanlin and mineral virtues of the whole wheat could be retained in a cream-c -colored flour.
 Until the government order was Issued. to take effect March 1, mills were making 72 per cent flour, the residue being utilized as livestock feed.
 In order to make the new 30 per cent flour, many mills will continue making 72 per cent flour and then will add back the Teground mill (liveStock) feed to make up Q total co per cent consumption of the grain. This will have a tendency to make the flour darker and more specky.
 Under the new method amour. ced by Mir Msrshall-which, he re- vealed, was based on experience gained in developing the Earle Process---a Straight milling or continuous operation" process ex- tracts the Hovernment-specified 30 per cent flour by means of special rollers and silk screens.
 Use of the method designed for the new process will make possible a more uniform flour and resultant bread with better color and texture, than would otherwise be possible.
