families in the United States.
Stripped for Action.
Early last January we agreed
not to take down our Christmas
tree, but to let it live with us, and
serve for many more Yuletides.
Now husbands throughout the
land are laying out good money
for new trees, and are faced
with the ordeal Of putting them up
to the dissatisfaction of everyone
stripped for action-and when I
say stripped, I mean stripped.
But our tree looks like tree
that has been lived with. And it
has. It has served many useful
purposes throughout the year. It
is gaunt, but it's gauntness has
been valuable. making it an ideal
article for the hanging up Of
coats and hats, umbrellas and
opera cloakS.
And the soap box in which 1t
stands has proved invaluable as
an ashtray and a place to keep
important documents which we
normally would throw away. And
as a conversation starter or ice
breaker. 1t is the best thing we
have ever run across. Even three
month-old babies, usually not
great conversationalists, can't re-

Dewey Team Breaks Up.
Albany coincidentally revealed
that Gov. Dewey's team Of bright
young men was breaking up
with the departure Of Elliott
Bell, his superintendent Of banks,
for lucrative publishing job.
This Is regarded as clear evidence
that Gov. Dewey has no immedi-
ate political plans, such as run

next year.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr..

Governor next year rather than
for reelection to the Senate.

with their value is Senator Joseph

So, after consultation with Senator

H. Christian Some, chairman Of

be done on New England. What
he asked for precisely was report
on "the impact Of Federal policies

it does that is not good.

ing issue in the Northwest and on
this all agreed: the Columbia
River Authority. In a secondary
place they put Northwest defense.
This issue has been raised to me
several times during this trip. In
Seattle, Spokane and Corvallis, ap-
prehension was expressed that in
case of attack by the U. S. S. r.
the Northwest would be consid-
cred expendable.
See Alaska Abandoned
The apprehension was stimu-
lated by Gov. Ernest Gruening's s
dismaying revelations some weeks
ago regarding the defenselessness
of Alaska, with its effective border
direct on the U. S. s. R.; by per-
sistent rumors Of the removal Of
the great Boeing plant from Sc
attic to Wichita: and by the es-
tablishment Of the new supersonic
laboratory in Tennessee. instead
Of, as anticipated. on the Colum-
bia River. IA
The students added that planes
had recently been Withdrawn from
the Aleutian chain. But they were
inclined to think that the threat
ened removal Of the Boeing plant
was due to persistent labor trou-
bles. and denied that there was,
as yet, any concrete alarm among
the people. However, one student
remarked. Alaskan students
whom we know are convinced that
Alaska has been abandoned eco

This project, following that in

It recalls one Of the Roosevelt ef-
forts that failed, the National Re-
sources and Planning Board. This

Never Popular In Congress.
The Resources and Planning
Board never was popular with
Congress. The members Of Con-
gress didn't like the idea Of any
body except themselves planning
developments that affected their
States or their districts. The
board produced a number OF ex-
cellent reports, but was liquidated
In q few years through the refusal
of Congress to appropriate any

By BOB MYERS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. l6-tAt- Controversy pointing to a rematch ragged along fistic row today in the wake of a decision that gave Maxie Little Duke) Docusen of New Orleans victory over Enrique Bolanos of Mexico City in a bitterly fought fight last night.
 Announcer Dan Tobey's reading of the verdict, a split decision after 12 hectic rounds, touched off a series of incidents.
 The little Duke of Orleans almost jumped out of the ring in joy, Bo- lanos held his head in stunned disbelief, referee Bill Kirschner slipped out of the arena with sey- eral policemen in protective com pany and three bonfires were set off in the gallery The fires were put out.
 Promoter Cal Eaton, even as the boos rocked the house, and with no twisting of his arm, agreed to seek a rematch as soon as possible.
 More than 10000 screaming souls had overpacked his Olympic Audi torium, paying a near indoor record for the arena of $47,770 to see this long developing match between the two popular fighters.
 They had seen Docusen get off to an early lead, had seen Bolanos almost blast him into submission in the seventh and eighth rounds and climax the encounter with a blasting finale.
 Then came the decision.
 A poll of every metropolitan boxing writer at ringside showed that all thought Bolanos should have won the decision.
 Eolanos weighed 134h, Docusen 1884.
