ACCUSATION
 SWUNG OUT
 AT RUSSIA
State Department Charges af Least 6 Violations
 of Promises

WASHINGTON, March 16.-IR-- The United States today accused Russia of violating at least six sep arate promises to return all German war prisoners in Soviet hands by the end of last year.
 In note delivered in Moscow yesterday, the State Department in effect renewed it's demand that Rus sia set free the hundreds of thou sands of German prisoners still be- lieved in Soviet custody.
 Russia has claimed that it was never bound by any agreement to repatriate the captured Germans by December 3l, 1948.
 The United States, Britain and France contend that such an agree ment was reached by the Big Four foreign ministers in April of 1947.
 SIX SPECIFIC CHARGES
 The State Department note. re- leased today, says on that point:
 Tt is difficult to reconcile the position now taken by the Soviet Government with actual events"
 The American note cites six spe- cifjc occasions when, it says, the Russians made these premises i'll Berlin.
 COMMITMENTS
 The commitments, by top-ranking Soviet officers. are listed as having been made between July 5, 1947. and Jan. 2, l948, in sessions Of allied oc- cupation agencies.
 State Department officials said the exact number of Germans still held ty the Russians is unknown.
 According to figures furnished by the Russians in Moscow in April o1 1947, 443,165 still were in Russian hands at that time.
 American officials believe there are at least several hundred thou sand more still in Soviet camps
 The State Department said the French and British sent similar notes to the Soviet Foreign Office at about the same time.

has outdone boxing two to one,
but there is no outcry against that
sport. Probably the only way death
and accidents in sports, particular
ly body contact events such as
boxing and football, is to ban the
sport altogether.
But banning these sports OBJ
viously would not be the answer
because the problem. involved is
deeper that the sport involved or
the individual involved. The real
question is that Of human nature.
In every community of the world
man engages in some sort of sport
which involves releasing aggressive
tendencies of man.
Bull fighting, rugby, dueling,
boxing, jai alai, and other athletics
all involving a challenge Of dang
er to the participants, are popular
in various societies. All that can
be done is to make them as safe
as possible by taking the utmost
care for the safety of the partici-
pants. All deaths may not be eli
minated, but they will be reduced
to the rarest minimum.
The Comedy Lingers On
What is this talk about Max
Baer returning to the ring? Jolly
Max says he has brains today
that he did not have when he was
champion. He probably should
stop to think that he also has a
few other things he did not have
then.
First, he has Is more years in
age. Second, he has who knows
how many more pounds of fat,
not muscle. And thenthere are the
things that he does not have =
such as strong sturdy legs and
sharp reflexes. And one thing he
has never had that he will prob
ably need = boxing ability and
smart defensive strategy.
Max Baer always has been a
very funny fellow. Ho hum, the
comedy fingers on. And to think

Does Joe Louis Plan Comeback?
is Joe Louis planning a come
back? Every fight fan in the
country wishes he knew the
answer to that question. It has
been asked over and over again
ever since Joe announced his re-
tirement last March l..
Today the question has bobbed
up once more because the Brown
Bomber declared last week that
he plans to box a series of TO-
round exhibition bouts with 10
ounce gloves. The first of this
series is scheduled for Boston
where he will meet Johnny Schor,
Nov. IA.
Louis says he will meet all
corners in this series of exhibitions.
Maybe to you this may seem to
be the same thing as a comeback,
but Joe's answer is: "I'm not
thinking along those lines now"
Maybe, all us fans accept Joe's
word of March 1 that he is re-
tired as heavyweight champion of
the world. Let us call these ex-
hibitions merely a return to the
boxing ring. Conceivably, his new
policy could mean a new r for
retired champs.
After a champion r~etires he could
make a nice living taking on
all commers in exhibition bouts a
la the old circus boxers who used
to pay off to any man who could
stay in the ring with them for
a round or two. Many a crafty
old fighter probably could pick up
numerous bucks long after his Of
fetal ring day are past.
Boxing Deaths Pose Questions
Deaths caused by beatings suf-
ferred inthe ring, however, pose a
big problem in pugilistic circles.
Louis, himself, may not be allowed
to fight in Boston in that 10
round exhibition because of a state
law which prevents boxers over
35 and under 10 from appearing
in regular bouts.
The technicality which may al
low Louis to box is the fact that
his appearance will be an exhibi-
ton.
Nevertheless the death Of Tai
madge Bussey, 26, after a kayo
by Luther Rawlings, has stirred
up the anti-boxing people once
more about the cruelty of the ring
game.
Frankly, I think that ring
fatalities are overpublicized while
others are not. On the same day
thate Bussey's death was reported
in large headlines, the death Of
a prep football player was an
nounced in a filler item. Only

CHICAGO. Dec. 15.-Charges
that James c. Petrillo. president
of the AFL musicians union, has
violated the Taft-Hartley law are
being investigated by the regional
National Labor Relations Board
Office.
The charge was made by the
Boom Electric 81 Amplifier Co..
said Ross M. Madden, NLRB re-
gional director. The company
pipes music via telephone wires
into restaurants, cafes and other
establishments. It has charged
the union with attempting to force
lit to fire seven members Of the
AFL electrical workers union and
replace them with members Of the
American Federation of Musicians.
Mr.. Madden said a formal COM
plant against Mr.. Petrillo and his
union probably will be issued after
the investigation. The case then
will be referred to an NLRB ex-
aminer and submitted to the
NLRB for decision.
Two phases of the company's

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The
weather mans news today was not
too good for water-short New
Yorkers as they scrubbed with
extra gusto in preparation for dry
Friday" which will be ushered in
at midnight.
No rain or snow was in sight to
help fill the city's depleted
reservoirs.
Tomorrow will be a bathless and
shaveless day-all on a voluntary
basis-as part of the manifold
efforts being made to save the
dwindling water supply.
Bathing and shaving were only
part of the water uses that New
York's 100000 are asked to fore
go tomorrow.
The auto washing industry
some of whose members had
baked at the ban on their trade
was falling in line today with
the emergency measures ordered
by Water Commissioner Stephen
J. Carney.
Thirty-two members of the Pro-
duction Auto Laundry Owners
Association announced they had
voted to comply with Carney's
ban pending conference, between
him and their lawyer. The asso-
citation claims to represent al
most all of the car-washing es-
adjustments in the city.

the plot Of "Jolson Sings Again"
on the success of The Jolson
Story does lessen its dramatic
impact. 1t is little hard to feel
sorry for a man because no one
wants to hear him sing, when he
is living with a loving wife in a
lavish California home and ap-
parent financial ease. 1t is espe-
cially difficult to do so when you
already know that a recent mo-
ton picture made him popular all
over again with a brand new gene
ration.
Quibbling over anything like
this is pointless, however. Pro-
ducer Sidney Buchanan has turned
his own bright script into a
handsome picture that is marked
with enough light humor. not too
much sentimentality and a great
deal of a warm quality best de-
scribed as charm. Director Henry
Levin has put it together with a
brisk pace.
And Joley sings some 20 or 80
songs or parts of songs. He sings

over a Four Leaf Clover" China
town." II Only Have Eyes for
YOU" "Rockabye My Baby with
a Dixie Melody" and a host of
others and he sings them in that
good. old triumphant style that
let's you know a song has been
sung.
"Jolson Sings Again" is a Jolson
songfest from start to finish,
which really is almost all you
have to know.

The cast performs this new mu-
sical tribute to the old musical
master in fine style. Parks, hav-
ing had some practice. of course,
is excellent. Miss Hale is superb
as the nurse who orders Jolson
round and makes him like it so
well he marries her. Ludwig
Donath, playing the singers IA

which he is involved. Tamara

best. too. and that certainly is
better than good enough.

do much about it. Widmark floors
his friend with left hook, steals
a plane belonging to the narcotics
ring to which he also belongs, and
takes off to do the work of a
trained crew of six or seven men.
Naturally, everything is accom-
plished on schedule and in good
order. Proving in this instance
that fiction is stranger than
truth.
Nostalgia is the mood created
by the show on the Capitol stage
this week.
For many the unadorned 8-act
vaudeville review will bring back
memories, but except for the CO.'S
tunes and women's hair-dos,
there isn't much to indicate that
vaudeville has been away.
Smart producing on the part of
the Capitol has streamlined the
acts, however, and encores have
been cut to an appreciated mini
mum.
Eight pretty good acts are hus-
tied on and off, to the accompani-
ment of some good backing by
Sam Kaufman and the pit band.
Special notice can be taken of
Jay Marshall, one of the all-too-
few comedians who believes he
can be amusing without being
baWdy.
Other acts contributing to the
re-birth of vaudeville here are
Lenny and Margie Ross; Jimmy
Burrell, Terry and Ralph Rio,
Nonnie Norton. Ming and Ling,
Anthony and Allyn Hodges and

Not a hurricane but more q
gusty breeze blowing from sew
eral directions at once is "Slat-
tery's Hurricane" now at the
Capitol.
Missing completely is the vio-
lence one should expect from q
hurricane-or film about a hur-
ricane. The action is more of a
drizzle than a good, hard rain,
and much Of the time the story
line presents a cloudy overcast
rather than an understandable
storm.
Touted as a salute to those men
who fly into the teeth Of hurri-
canes to strip bare their direc-
tional secrets. the picture actually
is just another tired yarn about
a heel who turns hero and goes
OF to build better life with the
once-spurned love of a good wom-
an burning in his heart.
Wasted almost completely are
the peculiar but rather appeal
ing talents of Veronica Lake. The
same cannot be said for newcom-
er John Russell. who apparently
has little to waste.
The story is told in flashbacks,
as Richard Widnark reviews his
caddish life while winging his
unauthorized way into a hurri-
cane. Widmark is flying into the
hurricane because of his sudden
realization that he shouldn't try
to steal Russell's wife. the solemn
faced Linda Darnell. Because
Russell had taken umbrage' to
this home-wrecking activity on
the part of his old friend, he had
been drinking more than was
good for a Navy lieutenant whose
duty was chasing hur-
ricanes.

Two Ways to Prevent
Barn Window Damage

When window frames and sills rot
in dairy balns, condensation Of moist
are on windows is usually the cause
Even when moisture control in the
barn is excellent, it is sometimes inn
possible to prevent condensation on
glass during cold weather unless
storm windows are provided. r. w.
Carpenter, extension agricultural en-
ginccl at the University Of Maryland,
states that storm windows are the
best way to prevent condensation
damage to the windows and to keep
the barn warmer.
But if storm windows can't be pro-
vided, the next best thing is to pre-
serve wood parts against rot by soak
ing them thoroughly with penta-
chlorcphenol. The State University
engineer suggests using the preser-
vative undiluted, in view of the small
amount needed An aluminium asphalt
combination paint also does a good
job of preventing the sill and frame
from soaking up moisture.
