WASHINGTON - M--President

Cured to him.
II is difficult to imagine the gov
eminent taking such step. he
told his weekly news conference.
Mr.. Truman said, however, that
he seized the steel industry be-
cause the country was in what he
called its greatest emergency. He
recounted too, that he has used
great powers: ID To force the
Russians out of Iran in 1916 with
an ultimatum they obeyed and (2)
to stave off a march of Conmu-
mist Yugoslavia on Trieste BY
making a show Of military force.
Mr.. Truman discussed his Sci
zure powers in elaboration If an
answer he gave at last weeks
news conference which alarmed
many newspaper editors and law
makers.
He was asked then whether he
could seize the press and radio
as he had the steel industry. He
replied that under similar circum-
stances, the President has to act
for whatever Is for the best II
the country.
A lot OF hooey has been pub

Film Producers Should Take
Example OF Retired Magnate

When l heard about the book, I
decided to hunt up the pioneer
film maker. l found him at his
large, comfortable home just off
Hollywood Boulevard. White-haired
and peppery at n. Smith is one
of the remaining members of that
fabulous breed of immigrant boys
who struck it rich in the U. S.
It's a good idea not to ask him
when he got into the movie busi-
ness because he'll reply: "There
wasn't any movie business when
l started making movies"
That was in 1896. Smith had
come to this country from his ma
tive England at the age of Is,
in 1888. He became interested. in
show business and hooked up with
j. Stuart Blackton in Lyceum
circuit that sent out lecturers and
entertainers.
The pair were attracted by
, Thomas EdiSOn'S new motion pic
ture gadget. With Blackton as the
artist and Smith as the mechani-
cal mind, they formed the Vita
graph Company. 1t became and
remained one of the biggest
names in the movie business.
In 1925, Smith sold Vitagraph
to Warner Brothers and retired
at the age of so. Why did he sell
out?
1.-The company was not doing
well," he replied. 'It was an en-.
terprise with so offices in this
country, 20 in England and others
all over the world. All the burden
was on my shoulders.
ALSO, l had consultation with
several doctors, including one |

as my father. who died at 9s. But
if l didn't, he said he wouldn't

to stop and enjoy life"
Unlike many men who have led
strenuous lives, Smith had no trou-
BILE adjusting TO retirement. The
sale left him well-fixed. asked
how much he received, he an.
swered: That's my business y
For few. years he operated a
cattle ranch in San Diego County,
riding horseback 25 miles day.
In recent years, he has lived in
Hollywood
I've never been bored" he
commented. I've got so many
hobbies that | don't have the time
for all of them My favorites are
collecting watches ard old books" "
He remained out of the lime
light until 1913, when the Motion
Picture Academy honored him for
his pioneer work in the industry.
Howard Cady, West Coast editor
for Doubleday and now with Little,
Brown. urged him TO write his
memoirs, Smith consented, col
laborating with Phil Koury. Cecil
6. DeMille's press agent and now
Kansas City lawyer.
Smith still sees movies and
thinks Hollywood is doing all right
He recently saw Cinerama in New
York and was impressed with It's
possibilities He said that such new
developments will keep the film
industry alive.

LaMotta Sets Sights
On Light-Heavy Title
After Beating Murphy
BY the Associoied Press

DETROIT. June 12.-Jake La
Motta. the human sledgehammer
who improves with age, will fight
any one IF there's enough cab
bage in it." And any one in
cludes Joe Maxim, light-heavy-
weight champion, or Challengers
Ray Robinson and Randy Turpin.
Naturally title fight against
the winner of the June % Maxim
Robinson championship battle
would please him the most.
Jake thinks his unanimous de-
clslon over Irish Bob Murphy last
night in one of Detroit's widest
swinging. most-rousing 10-round
tights proved he could campaign
as a light heavyweight. Jake is
a former middleweight champion,
but has forsaken the lighter class.
Il think I could beat Maxim
easier than beat Murphy" the
Bronx Bull said. "Maxim's nv
kind of fighter" Jake has won
three straight in his comeback.
16,O08 See Bout.
No matter who Jake fights, they
love the squat little Italian here
in Detroit. A near -sellout crowd
of 16,0O8 applauded when Jake
behind on points until then. bat
tered Murphy with savage rights
and lefts to win the ninth and
10th rounds and the decision.
Murphy had a 6H pound advan-
tage over Jake, who weighed 1891
Observers agreed they had rarely
seen LaMotta box so cleverly and
look so fit physically. Jake had
claimed he was underweight when
he was stopped by Robinson and
overweight when stopped by Muir
ply in 1851 defeats that almost |
pushed him into retirement.
For eight rounds the two slug
gers traded block-busters. Muir
ply held a 6-point edge on the
combined scorecards when Jake
finally solved the former sailors
left-handed style and pounded two
leftS to his face at 2 minutes of
the ninth round.
Jake continued the windmill
attack and won the following edge
from the officials: Referee Lou
Handler. 51-49: Judge Johnny
Weber. 55-45. and Judge Andy
Brown. 51-49. Under the Michigan
system, each official evaluates 10
points for each round. 4
The A. P. scorecard gave La
Motta a 52-48 edge.
Forget MOuthpiece.
According to the officials con-
sensus. LaMotta got the edge in
the 1st. Sd. 4th. 9th and roth
rounds. Murphy took the I'd, 9Th,
7th and 8th-the last when Jake's
handlers forgot to put in his
mouthpiece and Jake had to-
back-pedal to stay out of range.
The fifth round was even.
Murphy scored often in the first
eight rounds with left hooks to
the head. But Jake rolled with
many of the punches and battered
Murphy's body with his lefts.
Jake said better physical con-
dition" was the difference between
his victory and the seven-roundf /
TKO Murphy inflicted on Jake
last June.
Murphy had another reason. He
thought he would have beaten
Jake if they had used 6-ounce
gloves like they did last year in
New York. They wore 8-ounce
gloves, compulsory in Michigan.
Jake got 80 per cent and Muir
ply 2712 per cent of the receipts
plus $4,000 television split for
Jake and $4,000 for Murphy. The
gross gate was $53,303.76 and the
