WILLIAMS
IS WINNER,
4TH ROUND
Claim of Foul, However, Is
Made by Manager Of
Mexiean Fighter
Bv BOB MYERS


LOS ANGELES, July 22-lRi-Ihe
championship dream OF Mexico
Enrique Bolanos was shattered by
a fourth round technical knockout
from the furious fists of deadpan
Ike williams but the result brought
a quick charge of -four from the
Latin's manager.
Bolanos went down and out be-
fore a fusillade of punches IN the
fourth round OF their scheduled 10
round clash for the lightweight
championship of the world last
night. Some 18,999 spectators PAID
S108 274 to see the fierce beating,
promoted for the benefit OF the
Lou Costello, Jr, Youth Founda
ton. Williams weighed 1876 pounds
and Bolanos 1873.
Early today, George Parnassus'
manager of the defeated challenger,
said his boy had been "thumbed' n
the eye and thus blinded by WIZ
liams, charge which the chaih-
pion quickly denied.
Referee Jack Dempsey, likewise,
said he didn't see any foul play
with the thumb. But Parnassus
said he would take his accusation
before the California Athletic Com
mission in formal protest.
1t is no secret that Bolanos' lett
eye trouble marked the beginning
of the end. 1t started closing early
in the third and was shut COM
pletely by the end of the round.

After 81 years in Hoonah, where

In Hoonah, the Fletchers were

pened that bothered me, and am
telling the truth.
For four straight nights I
dreamed about Roy. Red, and
Dot. They wouldn't let me alone,
and I wouldn't let them alone.
Roy was Roy Howard (well-
known armistice announcer), Red
was Sinclair Lewis (well-known
x-husband of Dorothy Thomp-
son), and Dot was Dorothy
Thompson (well-known ex-wife Of
Sinclair LeWiO.
Shot Craps With Him.
It was all right for me to know
Mr.. Howard as Roy, because I
do, having worked for him for
many years. and, on occasion,
having shot craps with him. But
for me to be on familiar terms
with Mr.. Lewis and Miss Thomp-
son proved only one thing-1 was
either q celebrity hunter or was
showing bad manners when my
subconscious slipped its leash.
A cat may look at a queen. yes,
but a titmouse has no right to
dream Of titans.
So I called a psychiatrist Of
my acquaintance-one I will call
by the good, fictitious name of
DR.. Anderson. The second I
heard what his rates were, I knew
that even though Roy, Dot and
Red peopled my dreams forever,
I and they would have to put
up with it. Something like five
bucks q minute, and that with
only one blanket, no matter how
cold it was.
So, I can only tell Representa-
tive Rich, Republican. Of Penn
sylvania, that this country can't
afford his idea. However, poor

Happy If Wrong.
And how happy I would be to

But how often can a voter be
happy with a Congressman?
Powerful seldom, as we subsidized
potato growers like to say.
I wonder If Mr.. Rich has ever
taken the trouble to sit down and
figure out what it would cost to
send every Government employe to
a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists don't
come cheap.
They don't buy those couches
on the installment plan, or the
layaway plan, even. When you
stretch out on a psychiatrist's
couch and start telling him what

Mrs. Roosevelt came here Mon

and to the Society of American
Foresters, an organization pro-
noting conservation, of which
Franklin Roosevelt was a member
for 80 years. No formal an
nouncement was made Of the
Blair House luncheon, but it is
Mrs. Roosevelt's custom to call
on the President. If convenient

The White House said no special
matter prompted yesterdays call.
They appeared not averse to hav-
ing it known that the Christmas

Mrs. Roosevelt's approval Of the

internationalism of the past. Be-

This Changing World
Vassals Renew Their Vows of Fealty
AS Red Caesar Marks 10th Birthday

hours after the departure of For
eign Minister Andrei ViShinsky
from the German capital. The
president of the East German re-
public is said to have been found
too theological and weak to handle
Russia's future major satellite in
Central Europe.
For nearly a month there has
been an avalanche Of speeches.
broadcasts, newspaper articles and
books about the man who sits on
the Kremlin throne. Alexander
the Great, Julius Caesar and Ma
poleon are described as pocket
sized leaders compared to the
great Stain.
Believes Self Superman.
His genius as q military COM
mander, his patronage of arts and
music, his unequalled qualities as
an organizer and philosopher were
all brought out in the usual ford
oriental superlatives. There is
not a field of human activity,
according to the official propa-
gandists, in which Stain takes a
second place in history. Even a
normal person could not help be-
ing affected by a bombardment of
such platitudes, making him Won
der whether Stain is not actually
a superman.
The impact Of such lavish praise
on Stain, who lives in an ivory
tower in the Kremlin, must be
great, indeed. His ego, which SUI
fered a setback in the early stages
Of World War II before American
and British aid started to reach
him in great quantities. became
swollen again with the victories Of
the Red Army over the Nazi le-
gions which. at one time, he con-
sidered invincible.
The pilgrimages made to Tehe-
ran and Yalta by President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill
and the diplomatic victories he
gained over the leaders Of the
two greatest Western powers have
increased his sense of superiority.
Today Stain must feel that he is
the man of all centuries.
From the point Of view OF pres
ervation of peace this may prove
unfortunate. An oriental who be-
lieves himself a superman is
capable Of any rashness IN the
field Of international affairs.
At the age Of 10 the Red Caesar
has expanded the territorial
boundaries Of his country beyond
the widest dreams Of the czars.
Millions of men in the Western
world, who In past centuries have
had only scant esteem for the
emi-oriental Russians, now are
following the doctrines which Sta
lin spouts occasionally in his
speeches.
What, he must ask himself, can
prevent him from establishing
himself as the ruler Of the world?

Real Truth Behind German Cartels Seen

empire. and that none of it has
been sold. as planned, but still is
owned by its original German
owners. You would not know this
from our own officials who have
repeatedly announced that this I.
G.. Farben cartel had been broken
up. But the press statements
handed out at Frankfurt by the
protective committee Of L. G. Far
ben stockholders give US the real
truth from the mouths Of those
who know. They have let the cat
out of the bag as they start their
propaganda campaign to retain 1.
G. Farben as is and as was.
The proposed new set-up would
be only a mockery. leaving the
cartel practically intact, since the
cartelists are very influential with
the new West German government
that we helped to install. Since
the war the Farben enterprises
have been operated by former Far
ben officials as trustees and man
ayers, and the projected scheme
would turn it back to them as be-
fore the war.

This new evidence Of the brazen
effrontery to restore the old order.

recent visit here Of Herman J.
Abs, the German financier who
was one Of the architects Of the
Nazi regime and active in its ap-
preparation Of Jewish properties
and of resources Of other nations
overrun by the Nazis, as explained
here recently. The Deutsche Bank.
of which he was a director, was
intimately tied in with the indus
trial cartelists which supplied the
war, all part OF that system
known in Germany as Naziism and
generically as fascism.
Further inquiry here discloses
that Herr Abs, who already has
risen to an influential place in the
councils Of Great Britain and our
Government in Germany, was gra-
ciously received here among Of
f1cials Of various agencies-State

Board, Treasury. International

Words of Admiration
President Receives Christmas Present
From Mrs. Roosevelt in Person

las in the past, the suggestion has
been advanced that he will put
the Fair Deal first at the next
session because Of the election
next fall.
The administration rejects
such differences. The domestic
program was sacrificed to the for
eign aid last session but at the
same time promises were made
that foreign spending would be
tapered of during the next few
years.
Crown of Her Existence.
Mrs. Roosevelt considers her
work in the U. N. as the crown Of
her existence; she would not run
for any office if she could. If she
felt that any administration act
or project endangered the present
drive for peace, she would not
overlook it in the name Of the
Christmas spirit.
1t must be said that both the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt are
experienced Democratic politi-
clans, keenly aware Of the high
stakes in the fall election. Prob
ably If they thought some extra
emphasis on the Fair Deal would
result in the retirement Of such
nationalist as Senators Capehart
of Indiana, Donnell of Missouri,
McCarran Of Nevada and Wiley
of Wisconsin, they would think 1t
a contribution to International
ism.
People who have glanced at the
rough drafts Of the State Of the
Union message, however. declare
there has been no shift of en-
phasis from the foreign to the
domestic program. Actually. they
predict there will be no surprises
in the message but much the
same prescription as before all
down the line.
