 Maxim, Matthews

SEATTLE, Dec. 28- -R R-The man who has hollered loud enough to be heard in the Halls of Congress with his demands for Joe Maxim Harry Matthews lightheavyweight boxing title bout has turned down such fight.
 He is Jack Hurley, cagy manager of Seattle's pride and joy, 29-year- old Harry (Kid) Matthews. Mat thews has been knocking out or dusting off the nations lightheavy- weight boxers with monotonous reg ularity in 1850 and 1851. And with each triumph has come a new de- mand that Maxim, the champion, meet the lethal-fisted Kid.
 The International Boxing Club of New York has been the target of most of the often times acrimonious statements about why title-bout couldn't be arranged.
 The Department of Justice was even approached by some lawmakers with a demand the IBC be charg- ed as a trust illegally controlling boxing. Little developed beyond the words, however, until last week.
 Then IBC's matchmaker, Al Weill, offered a title bout for Feb g. He originally offered Matthews IS per- cent of the gate and Is percent of the television receipts. Hurley roared like an angered manager that the offer was inadequate and insult- ing"
 Who does he think he is?" Hur- ley asked of Maxim, "Matthews?" Maxim couldn't draw flies"
 Weill countered with an increase to 20 percent of the gate and TV, but with an ultimatum that Hurley sign by the end of this week "or else"
 Date, terms and other dictates connected with Maxim offer re- jected," Hurley telegraphically snort ed in reply Friday. Matthews will continue his Independent campaign, your ultimatum notwithstanding.
 Later he told the Associated Press, however, that he hadn't slammed the door all the way shut.
 There probably will be a Max Matthews fight, maybe. But we just won't fight on Maxim's terms" he said.

The farmer, William Hanna

in the farmhouse where his
mother hid it before she died
last week. He put it in two paper
bags which he carried to the
east side home of friend, Miss
Betty Mann.
She helped him count the
money, and they put il in a small
leather bag, hid the bag in a
clothes closet and set out to cele-
brate.
They talked about the money
in the night cub, police said.
When they left, all the tires on
Hannaford's car had been pune

Miss Mann's home. They found
the door there jinmied, and the
money gone.

OHIO INDIANA AREA IDEAL FOR
TRUCKS TO REPLACE MAIL TRAINS

WASHINGTON-(R)-The In
diana-Ohio area is proving to be
particularly well adapted to the
use of trucks instead of trains
for short-haul movement of bulk
mail, a Post Office Department
official said today.
This official, Leslie q. Boles, Di-
rector of Highway and Contract
Transportation for the department
returned recently after an in
spection of the newly-installed
truck mail routes that criss- cross
both states and reach to Chicago
and Louisville, Ky,
Boles, former post office de-
partment general superintendent
at Cincinnati, told reporter the
substitution of trucks for trains
in relatively short-distance move
ment of bulk mail through this
area will result in a definite say
ing to the government.

London Defeats
Columbus Rosary
In Opening Tilt

The Red Raiders picked up in
basketball where they had left
off in football season by winning
a hard fought game over Column

here Friday night.
With Bill Hunter scoring high

behind one below Rosary's high
scorer Fritz Ritter (15), the
game proved a fine opening bid
in London's season.
Although London led the pace
throughout all the game, the Cru
saders frightened the gap of 16
points to eight points in the last
quarter. But foul shots put the
Raiders far enough ahead to win

Now Is The Time To Prepare
Against Risk OF Rabies

ed animal rabies thus far with so
verified by laboratory studies.
For the first nine months this
year we have had 5,409 cases of
verified rabies - with the human
count not known until the end of
the year.
Getting rabies is more alarming
than you think, because it does not
necessarily strike you down quick
ly Many months afterwards when
you may have forgotten even that
you were bitten, rabies can come
on and kill It seems to depend on
how bad the bite and on the per-
son. In last years human deaths
the quickest rabies came on in
about two weeks, and death in two
to four days illness. In these quick
cases immediate administration of
rabies vaccine did not the least
good.

Boles said all routes in the
Ohio area are under 200 miles,
except for a 3o0-mile Cincinnati
to-Chicago leg. More than %
routes are operating in Ohio
alone.
The department inaugurated a
Cleveland to Akron route about
a year ago, but most of the Ohio
routes were started in August,
September and October this year
The most recently-begun was
Cleveland to Marion, Ohio
route that went into operation
earlier this week.
These truck routes are oper-
ated by private carriers under
contract to the government, which
arranges the truck time schedules.
AS an example of the time
savings involved in switching
from rail to truck movement of
bulk mail, Boles cited the case
of Indianapolis to Cincinnati mail.
A mail truck leaving Indiana
polls at midnight. he said, is due
in Cincinnati at d am, permit
ting the mail to be unloaded in
time for delivery the same day.
However, the first train from
Indianapolis to Cincinnati does
not arrive until after 6 am.
by the time the mail is un-
loaded from the trains, it is too
late for delivery that day" Boles
said. In this case, truck move
ment of the mail between these
cities speeds delivery by "a
hours
Though these truck routes were
established primarily for shipment
of bulk mail, in some cases trucks
have been used to fill the gap for
movement of first class-letter-
mail when train service to var
ious points has been halted.
This happened, Boles said, when
the Post Office Department Oct,
] inaugurated a Cleveland to
Wheeling, w. Va, truck route
through New Philadelphia, Ohio,
as the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road discontinued rail service.

such mail.
Boles attributed the success of
the new system in this area to
the closeness of the major cities
to each other to the good high
ways and to the heavy volume of
bulk mail that moves through
this region.
So far, nearly 200 such routes
have been set up in various parts
of the country. The department
does not plan to put any new
routes into operation between

that up to 200 miles, 1t is cheap
CT to ship parcel post and other

Vice Premier
Under Arrest

LONDON-RD- Moscow train.
ed Rudolf Slansky, one-time hat
chet man of Czechoslovak COM

Premier and arrested for ''activi-

The arrest was ordered by
Communist president Klement
Gottwaid at the suggestion of
Premier Antonin Zapotocky, the
announcement said, because in

Slansky was removed from his
job as secretary general of the

last September in move tied by
western observers to Moscow or
ders to the Czech communists to
tighten their ranks against in
roads of "Titoism.
The announcement at that time
said Slansky would get another
important state post" but did not
say what the post was to be.
The Czech government shakeup
was believed to have been lined
with growing unrest in Czechos-
lovakia at the rising demands of
the ruling communists for greater
production to feed the Soviet war
machine. The demands on Czech
economy created critical shortages
and passive resistance among
some of the workers.

NEW YORK, Jap Now is the
time to prepare for mad dogs and
the risk Of rabies from their
bites.
The belief that the hot, summer
dog days have any connection
with mad dogs is just a supersti-
ion. Rabies runs the year round,
but it increases in late winter and
spring.
The preparation is something
the u. S. public health service
would very much like-namely to
vaccinate all dogs. That is the
only means which will stop the
disease.
In most areas the public is in
different, until a rabies scare
strikes near home. Then there is

areas nothing has been done.

The big fact is that rabies have
been spreading in the United
States for some years. The in
crease is not marked, but states
hitherto rabies-free are coming in
to the mad areas each year. Last
year added Nebraska, South Da-
kota, Montana and Washington
This years additions will include
North Dakota. which is listed as

North Dakota's final reports are
