Serpo Wins World Title
ByK. O. Over Cochrane

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-WD-Mar-
ty Servo, bul1-shouldered former
Coast Guardsman from Schenecta-
dy, N. Y, wrested the world well
terweight championship from Fred
die (Red) Cochrane tonight with
a fourth round knockout.
The time was two minutes, "a
seconds Of the round.
Servo had dropped Cochrane with
terrific left hook to the chin, as
the champ swayed helplessly in the
corner, groggy from severe bat
tering of the head and body.
Referee Eddie Joseph tolled the
10-count over Cochrane as he lay
in Servo's corner with his right
hand on the ropes, attempting to
rise, with only six seconds left in
the round.
1t was apparent almost in the
first round to the $4,000 fans at
Madison Square garden that Coch-
rane, making his first defense Of
the 147-pound crown he won from
Fritzie Zivic, in July, 1941, had
virtually no chance.
Although Cochrane outweighed
his younger opponent 145 pounds to
143, Servo's superior youth and
strength gave him terrific ply
steal advantage over the fading
champion.
They fought on even terms in the
first round, but Servo came OF
with a late rally to end the session
and he kept coming on thereafter.
The 26-year-old challenger took
command Of the fight in the second
round, battering his red-headed op-
ponent with hooks to the head, bar.
raging him in a neutral corner and
bringing blood to Cochrane's nose.
Although Cochrane fought back
gamely, Servo rocked him in the
third round with a left hook to the
head that made his legs buckle.
Early in the fourth round Servo
landed two hard hooks to the body
that seemed to take all the steam
out OF the champion. Servo went
after his head. A left hook caught
Cochrane on the chin in mid-ring
and almost lifted hi moff his feet.
He staggered about the ring with
Servo shutting swiftly in pursuit,
banging him on the head until he
forced him into Martyrs own corn.
er.
Servo, who had been a 3 to ]
favorite, lived up to expectations
by tagging Cochrane with the fifth
knockout Of his long career which
began back in 1888. Others who
had knocked him out were Pedro
Montenez, Paulie Walker, ano
Rocky Graziano, who did it twice

AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED

Congress has missed the boat. 1t has had an opportunity to pass
certain measures designed to cushion the economic blows which IRE the
inevitable result of war. The opportunity has been missed by such a
wide mark that the economic blows whereof we speak can be expected,
tho just how and when they will fall, and how much damage will be
done, no one knows.
The cutting of taxes as pointed out by the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch,
has been done with 80 great a concern for incentives to business that
il has opened up incentives to unsavory business. AT the moment, manu-
tacturers arr holding vitality needed goods and supplies off the market
until they can take an untaxed excess profit on them And when it
comes to individual income tax, the large taxpayer benefits at the ex-
pense of the small.
Meanwhile the senate has watered down the full employment bill
which might have been of considerable assistance to agriculture, until
It is now merely an affirmation of every Americans right to a job if
he can find one Federal housing and medical programs have been
begged down. The house seems eager to forsake the American peoples
claim to tdeland oil, reverting to the tactics of the 2Os when oil re
serves were given over to the exploters.
Congressional committees have shown their disapproval of the
Missouri Valley Authority before the large number of petitions signed
by farmers, workers, business and professional people of the midwest
could be forwarded. The ST. Lawrence Waterway project is also in
GOubt. These projects would, of course, provide considerable employ
ment.
Though we do not share the deep pessimsm of H. G. Wells we see
signs here in the United States that the pattern which took shape after
World War One is repeating itself with minor variations. Despite alb
sence of talk about returning to normalcy," such IS one heard after
the other war, there is nevertheless the tendency to assume that the
normal is something to be recaptured from the past rather than a goal
to be achieved in the light of new conditions Therein lies the danger.
In our opinion the most exciting period in the history of mankind
lies ahead. Many people will say that this is not true, that no period
could be more exciting than the war which has just ended. We believe
that these people ar wrong. The war was the undersea earthquake
which has set up the tidal wave now rolling toward the shores Of all
continents. The excitement has yet to begin-The Cooperative Con-
sumner.

UNRRA FINDS WATER
BUFFALO FOR PHILIPPINES

MANILA. - Wanted: 100, 600
water buffalo for use as draft ami
mails for farmers in the Philippines.
Apply: UNRRA.
This is a need UNRRA is now
striving to fulfill to replace the
water buffalo casualties inflicted
by the Japanese. The animal is as
essential to the Philippine rice far
mer as a tractor is to a Kansas
wheat grower, Rice production has
fallen SO low, that President Os-
men urgently requested UNRRA
for the animals.
The most likely immediate source
of water buffalo for the Philippines
proved to be northern Australia,
where aerial surveys reveal wild
herds. To prove useful as draft
animals, the wild yearlings will
have to be ~corralled and domestic
ated. A project is under study to
stage a sort Of rodeo to capture and
tame them. If successful, it will
speed rehabilitation of Philippine
agriculture and bring succor to
large sections of the population.

OPEN CORPORATION BOOKS

we believe the General Motors Corporation should be forced by
law to open its books for public inspection. Furthermore, we believe
ma story told by corporation figures should be broadcast in lam
guage plain enough for the ordinary citizen to understand.
Every dollar of profit taken by private industry is a tax upon the
people. we contend they have a right to know how badly they are
oelng stung. Put in more charitable language, we think it would be a
good idea for the men and women of America to know what price thew
are paying for permitting the business of production and distribution
TO be a private matter.
n profit dollars that are paid to absentee owners and the ex-
horbitant salaries grabbed by management could be saved if the eco
could be eliminated if people knew they wer working for themselves
and for each other and not for a favored minority of owners and
managers.
That's the contention of Socialists, and the people would be in a
position to pass judgment if they knew the facts.
With a few industrial and financial moguls controlling the basic
needs of the rest of us, corporation business should be made the business
Of the people. Well go even further than that. We contend that the
themselves should be owned by the people and operated
by those selected altogether for the general welfare and not at all for
profits. More people might agree with u if they knew and understood

AMERICAS PRIVILEGE

Robert K. Wason the 1916 president of the National Association of
Manufacturers, relates that he came up from biting poverty" 1t is an
excellence of our system that a maj may come up. 1t is not excellent,
however, when Mr.. Wason adds:
If the under-privileged children had IN alumni association, 1
could be their president. But 1 wouldn't, because there is n O such thing
as being under-privileged if you have the privilege of being a n Amer
lean"
For all Its touch of oratio Ager, that statement is not good. Mr..
WaSon, a exception, is trying to set himself up as the rule. All who

people Of better early advantages may rise very high indeed with
out much drive. Often, furthermore, success has a broad element of

The Clerical Offensive in America

The VatlcanS march n the Americas is proceeding according to
plan. The Catholic church has scored impressive gains in its effort to
Hecoup its European losses in the Western Hemisphere. In Mexico the
clerical wave has swept away thirty-five years of state atheism" and
n church IS now campaigning vigorously for the election of Ezequie1
Padl1a as President. II Argentina the entire hierarchy, with the single
exception of Monsignor de Andrea, is supporting the candidacy of
Feron. And the failure of Cuba to sever relations with Franco Spain has
been largely attributed to the influence Of the Archbishop of Havana.
But the United States still remains the major objective. Five United
States bishops have been elevated to the cardinalate, and the total of
North u South American cardinals increased from three to fourteen.
The next step may we'll be the naming of Cardinal Spe1lman as Papa1
Secretary of State, a N appointment that has been lin the wind" for
several months. It is always gratifying to have an American of dstinc-
lion honored abroad. Unfortunately the political motives that would
dictate this choice must temper u enthusiasm. The clerical offensive

Another Psy~chiutrisf "Coes Huywire"

Experts" are frequently a queer lot. Take the case of a top py-
chiatrist at Eizabeths Hospital near Washington. He has been occupy
ing the first pages of the local papers with long lectures on how the
wives of returning soldiers may avoid being beaten up by their
husbands. ..
They must be very tolerant and understanding" according to the
expert" Imagine advising a little woman, who has kept the fires
burning during the weary years of the war, to be tolerant when the
man she has been waiting for decides to maui her!
We are convinced the psychiatrist doesn't know what he is talking
about. The boys who licked Hitler and the Japs are not a bunch of half
crazy brutes. -".
However, should a few "Wife-beaters' pop up among them, we
hope their wives will defend themselves with anything they can put
their hands on, and then walk out and let the temperamental bubbles
cook their W meals Unless we Miss our guess, that will prove an
excellent remedy. :

TELLS FARMERS

Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
P. Anderson told farmers recently
that their future welfare depends
on full employment and higher
wages for industrial workers.
During the war, he said, agricul-
ture enjoyed its greatest prosper
ity, because of "the remarkable
ability of Americans to consume
farm products when they have
man-sized jobs and man-sized pay
checks"
In contrast, he added, farmers
we're dragging bottom a few years
ago when the industrial plant was
running at half speed.
