 Munroe collected a lusty pounding, but smart manager made the most of the "knockdown." He sizzled the wires to papers throughout the coun- try dramatizing Munroe's feat. The miner became an overnight celebrity
 Monroe had three tuneup brawIs, was then hurled against the embit- tered champion in a title match. Hardly more than a tyro, Munroe had the shakes when facing the mighty Jeff. The first punch cap- sized him. He was through in few minutes without landing a decent hit.
 Munroe, who died recently, was a real hero in Word War I. A daring man with the Canadian Princess Pat outfit, he lost an arm on the battlefield. Later he struck it rich in gold mining. He was nice fellow. Long years after his ring days, I ghost-wrote his col umns on the Dempsey Willard slaughter.
 ''I wasn't so bad," he said mod estly. ''If they'd only given me a little time I might have been a real fighter"
 Where've you heard that before?

''NO SUCKER"
 'ENever give a sucker an even break,' is a good thought for any bigshot basher. In fact the late Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, one of the cleverest, once told me, '"There is no such thing as a sucker" He spoke from experience. Once in an unguarded moment a thirdrater almost belted him bOwlegged. O'Brien never forgot it.
 Jack Dempsey found that out too. I saw Jack, then champion, box all exhibition with a leading amateur heavy. He was socialite and no small beer as a fighter either. Of course it was strictly friendly thing.
 'sNOW BE COOD'
 In the second round, however, the socialite sucker" almost spilled Demp- sey with a crack on the whiskers Dempsey had been doodling, the vol lop caught him relaxed. It looked de- liberate, all right, and Dempsey promptly unleashed a sincere one The sucker half-col1apsed and Jack, hold ing up, whispered, "Now be good boy. We can have some fun.''

Tax reduction next year will be welcome. But what most taxpay- CTS want and need more than re- lief next year is relief now. Prom ises of future cuts in federal taxes are too much like the budget-bal- ancing promises which were fed to American taxpayers for so many years. and they savor of the prosperity around the corner" talk we heard in the later years of the Hoover administration.

to four years consecutive service within the department.
 MT Vincent's reassgnment will give Secretary Mar shall timely opportunity to reorganze this office in order to bring Far Eastern policies into line with the American position in other parts of the world.
 It is vital to do this before the Japanese and Korean settlements, because Mr. Marshall must look to the Far Eastern office for expert advice problems in tha And he should want better guidance than Pres dent Roosevelt had at Yalta when the Soviet Union handed its Manchuran concessions.
 It may we'll be that there actual Communist party members in this branch of the State Department But its policies have been consistently proSoviet and pro-C Chinese Communist.
 Our policy in China, as enunciated by Mir Vincent $ the direct contradiction to position in Greece His office defended Russias closed door, policy in the Daren incident, and has been open odds with Gen. eral MacArthur's democratic program in Japan. the General issued warning against Communist infil tration. His statement, according to the newspaper "PM" was deeply resented by number of important State Department officials, of whom John Car ter Vincent Other officials in the department agreed with Vincent that MacArthurs statement unneces- sarily damaging to Soviet-American relations"
 The clique headed by Mr. Vincent generally reflects the views of the Institute of Pacific Relations der the scrutiny of Congress because of it's alleged pro- Soviet bias Publications sponsored by the institute ally critical of American foreign policy including relations with the Philippines.
 If MT. Vincent'S successor is under this nfu- ence, change will bring improvement in the Far Eastern office complete break with that propaganda organization is necessary.

freak for President. When Bryan was running for the Presidency he drew the biggest crowds at tracted by any candidate, but he never was able to get enough votes to put him in the White House.
 Almost every year millions of acre feet of water go to waste In the Missouri and Mississippi river basins. That is water which could be used profitably in arid and semiarid sections farther west. The only way some of these regions could get it would be through pipe lines. Cost of such water diversion now is prohibitive. But the time may come when it will be just as feasible as was construction of the Big and Little Inch lines to trans port oil from the southwest to the northeastern area of the United States during World War II.
 Refusal of the House to override President Truman's veto of the tax reduction bill is described as a Democratic victory" But that is one victory" the Democrats won't brag about in the 1948 cam paign. Denying relief to the mil lions of overburdened taxpayers is the worst vote bait that could be concocted.
 When the House passed the tax reduction bill, the vote was 220 for, to 99 against. The majority was we'll over the two-third re- quired to repass the measure over a Presidential veto. But when it came to the question of overriding the veto, the vote was 268 for, to 138 against-two short of a two thirds majority. Some members of Congress vote to pass bill but will not vote to override veto by the President of their party. That is incomprehensible. Any Con- gressmen who changes his vote in this manner puts himself in the position of allowing the President to make his decisions. {,
 Of course. the national debt should be paid off as rapidly as possible. But under the right kind of administration. debt reduction and tax reduction are possible al inc same lime. And by cutting fax rates. if might we'll be that federal revenues would be increased so there would be larger surplus 10 apply on the debt.
 Tax-gouging impairs the ability of people to be self-supporting: President James H. McGraw of the McGraw-Hill Publishing com pany, recently pointed out that only per cent of all families in this country now have incomes large enough to build up retire ment fund or acquire a stake ;n business sufficient to support them. That compares with per cent in 1929.
 McGraw said that to retire on an annual income from invest ment that will buy as much as $3,0O0 did in 1929, a young man now must earn over $13,000 year for twenty-five years, which is more than two and one-half times the income he would have needed in 1929.
