A Crazy Race!

NHE repeated argument of labor
 economists that the present crazy race between prices and pro- fits can lead only to depression found substantiation from an un- expected source last week.
 The American Banker, banking business magazine published here, declared bluntly, ''We are riding for a fall. We are superficially prosperous, but it is an artificial prosperity of rising prices. We have let commodity speculation and un- wise commitments to raise farm prices create a spiral of rising costs of living" Stressing that prices are already excessively high" the magazine said ''the higher they go the harder they fall"
 The Nat'l Industrial Conference Board, meanwhile, reported that US. manufacturing corporations retained SIS billion of earnings from 1929 thru 1946. The iron and steel industry had undistributed profits of $2,9OO,OOO.OOO from l94O to l946 alone. The food in- dustry kept $2,6OO, ,OOOO,OOO over the l8-year period.

[ Tunney's two brawls with Dempsey show him at his best. And he was very good indeed.
 Nevertheless you must consider that Dempsey had been loafng for three years when he first lost to Gene. Also, that despite his long count" Wallop Jack was through when they met again
 Tunney was in trouble in both com bats. Jack punched him between the ropes in the fourth round of the first one. The old Dempsey would have finished it on the spot. Certainly the old Dempsey wouldn't have permitted Tunney to get away in Chicago Jacks legs were gone. With the be- wildered Tunney pedalling backward after the Hong count Jack couldn't begin to catch up with him! Down right pitiful
 reason this way: A battered, weary Dempsey managed to rap Tunney for what should have been a knockout. So, if a wheezy Demp- sey could do that at Tunney's best

In fact this crude but powerful smacker met Dempseys opening rush with smite that momentarily dipped Dempsey $ knee to the canvas. Jack possessed as- tonishing recuperative power. Still, l can't picture him surviving such sink ing spells against Joe though he might have
 THE LONG COUNT
 I speak here of Jacks natural knock-doWn- -and-drag out style. Only once, when washed up did he fight differently-When he lost to Tunney the second time. He crouched low, eau tiouSly circling to Genes left to avoid Tunney's right counters. Even SO, Jack got the worst of it until he dropped Tunney cuckoo in the seventh for the famous IA second Hong count
 Dempsey's hurricane style of bat tling might have confused and beaten Joe. Sure. It's just not the way l would have bet, which isn't important after all.
 While Jack and Joe would have been tOss-up, I'd have picked Joe to trim Tunney. Gene was a re- markable boxer with plenty of courage and keen ring brain. He was a methOdical, two-fsted pun isher rather than a knocker-out,

Gun Tested 10 Show
.Conc|usive|y Whether
Plank Was Murdered

FBI ballistics experts today tested
the revolver with which Norman
LIE Roy Plank was shot to determine
from what distance the fatal bullet
was fired.
Detective Chief H. T. Magarity of
the Fairfax County police said the
tests should answer conclusively the
question of whether the 29-year-old
Small Claims Court clerk was slain
or killed himself.
The shooting July 6 in the base
ment of a Chesterbrook Woods home
near Falls Church, Va, at first APP
peared so much like suicide that the
coroner issued a certificate to that
effect.
Tests later revealed no finger
prints on a 22-caliber revolver found
five steps away from where the body
lay at the foot of the basement stairs
and the death certificate was
changed to homicide.
Gun Fired at Various Ranges.
There were no powder burns on
Plank's head where the bullet en-
tered the right temple, but the
shell was fattened by the impact.
The FBI was firing the revolver
at various ranges to determine from
what distance it would leave pow
der marks and damage bullets to
the extent of that which killed
Plank.
Such evidence would prove valu-
able in the event the county ever
prosecutes for murder.
1t. Magarity said he expected to
discuss with commemorative At
torney Hugh Marsh today the adj
visibility of filing murder charges
against Alvah B. Martin, %, now
charged with stealing an automobile
from the home where Plank died
Since Martin was returned from
Kingston, N. Y, where he was ar
rested last Friday, he has repeatedly
altered his story about his associa-
ton with Plank just before the
shooting.
Other Evidence Awaited.
He possibly will be brought tt
Washington today to check his --latest
alibi-that he left Plank the day
before he was killed, stopped in g
Washington bar, picked up woman
and spent a short time in Wash
ington hotel before driving to Phila-
delphia. 1t. Msgarity said Martin
would be given a chance to find the
bar and hotel.
Fairfax police also awaited other
evidence from the FBI laboratory
which may serve to break down part
of Martins alibi, 1t. Magarity said
He declined to reveal what the evil
dence was, but expected a report or
it later in the day.
