Charley Fusari, who has never been
beaten, encounters his most formid-
able opposition tonight when he
meets Tippy Larkin (above) at Mad
ison Square Garden. Their clash is
slated for ten rounds. Both welter-
weights hail from New Jersey.
Fusari, a blond, handsome lad,
enters the ring with record of Al
consecutive triumphs, which includes
SO knockouts. He hattens his foes
with either duke. If Charley succeeds
in adding Tippy's scalp to his war
belt, it will be difficult to deny him
q title opportunity.
Larkin, however, is one of the

Turks Rebuffed Reich
On War With Russia,
President Inonu Says
by the Assoeioisd Press

ISTANBUL, Sept. 16.-President
Ismet Inonu says that Turkey re-
jected all German overtures-which
he said grew violent at times-to
bring her into World War II against
Soviet Russia.
In lengthy article written for the
Encyclopaedia Britapnica at Chi
cago and distributed by the official
Anatolla Agency today, Mr.. Inonu
defended Turkeys war role which
often had been criticized because
Turkey swung over to the side of
the Allies only few weeks before
Germany surrendered.
Germany, Mr.. Inonu said, spared
no effort to bring Turkey into the
conflict.
"One OF the most important events
for Turkey came when Germany
started her most threatening politi-
cal aggression" Mr.. Inonu wrote.
During Frances occupation docu-
ments had fallen into German hands
and in virtue of these it was pro-
claimed that the Turks had been
partisans of certain Anglo-French
projects against the Russians.
Germans Worked for Conflict.
"In publishing the French docu-
ments the Germans worked with all
their heart to provoke in this
troubled tense atmosphere an armed
conflict between the Russians and
Turks. Also they presumed the
Turks-left alone-would approach
them as did the Romanians, in order
to guarantee themselves against
Russian aggression"
MIR. Inonu said Turkey rejected
fatty all German demands for pas
sage toward the mideast while the
Reich armies were assaulting Egypt.
turkey had a treaty of alliance with
Britain which was defending Africa
and in 1910 Mr.. Inonu told the Ma
tional Assembly Il deem it my duty
to say that the bonds of alliance
between Turkey and Britain are
firm and unbreakable at this mo-
ment when the British are fighting
heroically a war of existence under
difficult conditions"
Turkey massed her armies in
Thrace and Izmir, Mr.. Inonu said,
expecting momentarily that her
turn would come after the Balkan
invasion, but unexpectedly relations
between the Soviets and Bulgaria
took on new aspect and there were
occasions of demonstrations against
the Turks"
Attack on Turks Indicated.
"In short everything indicated an
attack was being prepared against
the Turks" Mr.. Inonu said.
1T was while this was going on
that the Germans announced they
could not attack Turkey and pro-
posed treaty of friendship. The
/ Turks declared they could not con-
clude this agreement without con-
ditions of safeguarding the alliance
with Britain. Germany accepted
this disposition
Later Mr.. Inonu said Russia had
formally notified Turkey that the
Soviets were satisfied with Turkeys
attitude and said Turkeys neutral
ity deserved to be commended"
