 IS HE WASHED UP?
 Louis is 34, a ring age long linked to dreary comeback efforts. Yet, as this is scrubbed, Joe is being quoted at 4 to l to whip WalcOtt. don't get it. Whether he wins or loses, Joe is washed up. I hate to say it, for he was the greatest of them all. All I've seen, anyhow, and that dates to Jess Willard.
 Why do wornout champs make comebacks? For money, mostly. Louis needs 1t. If not, Joe could have quit tor good after the first Walcott thing. The book would have listed him ~"Re- tired Undefeated Champion of the World" But that financial pressure made Joe fight some more and it had to be Walcott again.
 There may be tinge of revenge stirring in Joe. Walcott thumped his pride. Mostly it's business, though. When ex- or current champions slow down there's no romance left in fight ing. Just hard, brutal work, with the percentage working against them. Ad- venture-and revenge-are for the springtime of a gladiator's career, not the late fall.
 DEMPSEY KNEW
 Jack Dempsey knew he was through when Iunney mangled his features in Philadelphia. Worth trying again, though-when there's almost $450,O00 III 1t. Personally, he didn't like Tunney but that wasn't why Jack tried again. He knew that only miracle could win tor him. But, offered a fortune for Woolng a miracle, certainly Dempsey would oblige. Though he almost pro- duced the miracle, Jack took another lusty fogging.
 Dempsey was offered third meet ing. More than ever, he knew he was through, turned it down along with the golden Windfall it would have brought
 HORSEFEATHERS, COMEBACKS
 There was an undefeated champion, retired six years, who made a come back at 35-James J. Jeffries, then half-bald. In his prime, though, he'd never give the younger gladiator, Jack Johnson, shot at his crown. After Johnson had won the title there was silly, nationwide clamor for Jeff to come forth. Uphold the Supremacy of the white race" bosh.
 Old Jeff didn't cotton to the idea until promoter heated him LID with an offer that netted Jeff Sl77.- O6O. The ''battle' was a fasco. Johnson hit the old gaffer as he

pleased, then knocked him out. Jeff wasn't bitter about it. It was a business fight. He shared his gold from it, and from Johnson's fists what he had feared for weeks be- fore the battle. Old Jeff entered the ring nervous wreck. He knew he was just an old businessman in fight tOgs.
 The understructures of juicy come back gate receipts are mostly horse feathers. Dempsey explained simply, that he forgot to duck" in the first lunney fight. Jeffries hobb1ed back tor the dubious 'honor of the white race. Louis said drying out" before the hrSt Walcott muss ruined him.
 But you can't fool the fight c1ucks Dempsey was even money against Tuney the second time. Old Jeff. un- defeated but challenger, was 10 to 7 to beat Johnson! And now Louis is 4 to to en- joy caulihower re-birth.
 The fight chuck is chronic shill tor the champs chances. In more than oO years of heavyweight title combats only lHRlCE has the challenger been the tavorite. On two of these occa- S1ons' there was almost no doubt Louis would beat Braddock and Baer world slaughter Camera.
 Even the experts guessed these t"o' as Ring Lardner would say.

Little Luther

What do you want me to be pre- cocious for, Pop?" Luther asked.
 ''Now, who ever said any such thing?" MT. Dilworth replied.
 ''Wen, you want me to study and make something of myself. you al- ways say.''
 ''That's right, son. want you to grow up and be able to take your seat on the Stock Exchange like any upstanding young American" :" Mir. Dilworth came back.
 ''Aw, gee, Pop, I'd rather grow old handsomely, like Louis Cal hern," Luther pouted.
 What is this unAmerican non- sense, Luther?''
 Look, Pop, heard on the radio that man in England learned to read when he was 8O-iust to be able to follow the reports on World War H.''
 ''But if you can't read, son, how will you know which coupons to clip?"
 Anyway, if I get to be 78, I can " SAAONAAAS AAuJOItdII 1lkc I rIIne Minister Smuts of South Africa.''
 'Come, come, son,'' said MT. Dilworth, N'you know he lost the last eIection.''
 Sure," said Luther. Glow did he know they'd find a guy who was even more reactionary to run against him?''
 s'Probably he couldn't run very well at 78.''
 ''I don't know,'' said Luther. Sen. Green of Rhode Island is rum ming for a third term, and he's 8O.''
 Sounds unAmerican. He must be a New DeaIer.''
 Well, I've gotta live to be 80 and run for third term, too.''
 Who says SOP"
 If l don't, who's gonna support you in your old age? Gee, Pop, sometimes you sound just like a dope," Luther concluded.

A Make Believe Housing Law
(New York Times)

tNeW 4ork 111neS)
 President Truman has signed the "so-called hous- ing bill as he truthfully called it, with message which could not have been sharper if he had vetoed it. This bill does not carry out and was not intended to carry out the purposes of the long pending Taft Elender- Wagner housing bill. As MT. Truman said, it does not provide for housing it does not pro- vide for slum clearance it does not provide for publicly assisted ow-rent housing There is nothing in it that can stimulate arge-Scale experiments in loW-coSt housing It meets the specifications of Representative Jesse P Wolcott of Michigan who succeeded in de- feating the T-E-W measure in the lower House and specifications of another Republican Senator Robert A. Taft.
 Since this is a political year and since unity is the Republican password Senator Taft could not very well side with MT. Truman Nor could he, being the honest man he is, accept the new law as final He said as truthfully as Mir Truman did, that the bill was not intended to meet long-range housing needs He disagreed with MT Truman the help the law may offer to veterans but of the arguments used by the bipartisan Senator Taft in the past might De brought LID to refute those used by the partsan Senator Taft.
 The hope for real housing program now lies with the Eighty-frst Congress. If this Congress IS Republican it will be bound by platform declaring in favor of Federal aid to the States for local slm clearance and ow-renal housing programs only where there is need that cannot be met either by prvate enterprise or by the States and localities The original draft of the platform did not contain the evaslVe word .only" Nevertheless, the need described doeS exist as Senator Taft and his housing supporters have recopnized This years makebelieve housing bill IS challenge to the Republicans if they hold power, to ,ass a real housing bill next year.

VETERANS HOUSING

Congressman Albert Thomas, Texas Democrat, who has a fine record on most matters. did his best before Congress closed to hamstring the Housing Expediter's authority to investigate veterans housing. te
 First he tried to block an ap- prcpriations bill, granting extra funds to the Housing Expediter to expand his investigating staff. When that failed, Thomas suggest ed that all housing functions re- lating to veterans should be trans ferred to the Veterans Administra- tion.
 What the Texas Congressman didn't mention in his battle against the Housing Expediter was that one of his own close friends, Frank Sharp of Houston, home build CT, is under investigation on charg- cs of dcfrauding veterans. The in-

WAR INEVITABLE"

SEATTLE, July 20.-tR-A form CT research director for the Con- gressional Dies Committee predicted at a legislative hearing today that war with Russia lis inevitable.
 Matthews asserted Joseph Stalin himself had said war between Con- munism and other powers would be inevitable.
 T am not here to say whether it might come next year or in the next decade" the witness contin- ued.
 In referring to the liklihood of war, he declared that the conse- quences for American Communists should be viewed lon that basis, ' and their position would be the same as those young Nazis who landed in the United States dur ing the war and went to the cleo tric chair
 Matthews was on the stand for the second day in the committees hearing into alleged Communistic affiliations of University of Wash ington faculty members. The ses- sion was quiet in contrast to yes terday afternoons interruptions by chanting and shouting picket line outside the Washington State Armory.
 He also said Communistic &C., tivities of Jerry O'Connell, form CT Montana Congressman and con- troversial Washington state poli- tical figure, are an "open book, but added, T am not able to say l whether he ever was actually g member of the Communist party.

 FIGHT VICE
Carry Drive DiredIy to PeopIe-TWo Petitions
 Are Circulated

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 20-LP, Sixteen aroused women carriEd the drive against vice, gambling and prostitution in Fairbanks directly to the people today.
 Residents were being presented with two petitions. One requests City and Federal officials to rigidly enforce existing laws. The second declares: We do not feel any con- dition exists requiring action other than that heretofore taken by en- forcement agencies"
 Mrs. Verna Batchelder, wife of a Fairbanks building contractor, said the action is in reply to statements by City and Federal authorities at a public mass meeting last week that enforcement has been ineffective in some instances because we had no assurance that rigid enforcement was the will of the citizens"
 The cleanup drive was prompted Ly warning of Brig. Gen. Dale ". Gaffney, commander of the Yukon Composite Wing, that Fairbanks will be declared off limits to Ladd Field Air Force base troops unless posi- tive action is taken against vice conditions which are intolerable for minor soldiers"
 General Gaffney said that more than half the soldiers he commands are under 21 years of age. One of the chief points in the drive is the proposed closing of the | "line'-a long established row of dis orderly housing half block off one of Fairtan two main streets.
