SAWRBAY, fc i i 1 NfeWS Sf ANDARD PAGfe KINE Henry Hoping Joe's Story Is Not True Interview Says Louis Planned To Cut Tony To Ribbons. By HENRY McLEMOKE (Uflited Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 1--(UP)--Say it ain't so, Joe, say it ain't so. I mean that interview with you that "was published in the New York papers yesterday. You know the one I mean--the one that said you jhad planned to wait untu the 10th Ground to knock out Galento, so that for nine rounds you might have the of cutting him, butchering him, beating him, and making nim pay for the gross remarks he had made about you. That isn't like you, Joe.

You're not that kind of a guy. In the years you you nave Conducted yourself with a dignity, an aloofness, that has done more your race than anything that has been done since Washington died. Booker T. PREPPING FOR PAR By ART KRENZ NBA Service Golf Writer Wrists start to uncoil just before hands come in line with head and ball. Up to this point wrists must remain cocked, or power is spent be- for ball is hit, As hitting takes place hands move very short distance compared to head of club.

It is here that right hand is you were better than the men sent out to face you, you uave carried your superior abilities -with becoming lightness. You have accepted the power in your fists, the in your legs, as a natural something to be handled with care lest you damage too much less blessed. At Top Of Class You don't mean to tell me, and the entire world, that you are throwing overboaid all your sportsmanship because of a Jew remarks that one challenger made. His taunts, his boasts, his wild declaim- jng, were born of; desperation. They were, actually, a tribute to you and your skill inside the ropes.

Prize fighting is a nasty business, and we all know it is, but we don't like to be told it is. not the champion. Until that interview yesterday you had done a lotto lift, the business of fighting with the. fists above the street level. There were millions of us, Joe--here and abroad--who saw in you some- that transcended a mere mauler, a common brawler.

Tne pure power of you, the quiet tezTor of your fists, lifted you into the class of an art. Do you want to destroy ail of that in one interview? Do you want to, with a few ill-chosen words, lower jouifelf to the level of a cold, brutal, merciless killer? This country and its citizens have long turned Wjth disgust from the bull-fighting of Spain and Mexico because it involved the needless punishment of the helpless. There is no sentiment in this country for one who deliDer- atejiy works distress oh one who cannot light back. If your interview was correct went past the cruelty "of bull-fighting, because in a bull-fight animals are the only sulferers. And your plan was to harass and torture a human.

That won't go on side of the water, Joe. Your business is to walk out and, as quickly as possible, end the man who faces you. You won't gain any popularity votes by deciding to spear, cut, rip and torment a fel- low human for 27 minutes before finishing him with a punch. Depends On Champs I picked you to whip Galento quickly--and I was for you, not solely because I picked you, because my reputation can stand a wrong guess or two, but because I thought you were much the 'hotter behaved. And the existence, the importance, of sport, depends so much on its champions.

They are the color- bearers of sports, the champions, and when they dip the colors, sport suffers. But--and I am speaking to you as a man from Georgia, Joe, who was glad to include you among his friends--if that interview of yesterday was from your heart, and uiotaced by those in charge of you- well, I hope Lou Nova or Bob Pas- brought into use in whipping dub- head through.

But being of suspicious nature anyhow, it strikes me that this highclass literature has that smeii about it of the gutter scandal sheet that thrives solely upon moronic sensationalism, touched off with pictures of -seminudes. It is die same in every war time everywhere that war rages. No war can be prosecuted with the help of lies. If truth were told at the beginning, there would be neither reason nor will for war. Much depends on the quality of the lie.

High-class lies are for the intellectual people. Crude lies are better for popular consumption. No war can be waged without atrocity stories. It becomes a patriotic duty to slander the enemy. There are, of course, all sorts of lies, mamuac- tured ones are likely to be dangerous for the makers.

The best lies are those based on half truths or testimony originating from excited humans. Yet, go to any court, listen to testimony for a couple of days in any automobile accident case, and you'll find no two people can report a street incident alike. Super-imposed emotion and bias, and sucn testimony becames simply sheer fantasy. But, in wartime such fantasies imaginative figments are accepted as final and all-conclusive. When nations are at war, as one English authors puts it, failure to lie is negligence; doubt of a lie is a misdemeanor and declaration of the truth is a crime! And so with the recollection of the lying on the World War by every nation involved, and in all the wars since 1918, it is simpiy the essence of common sense to put a question mark behind these "undressing" stories from china.

The first thing to do in a job of reflection of this kind is to start with an open mind. Alter about five minutes' contemplation of broad issues involved in the Fa; East, it is obvious that such practices would bring down the worst kind of publicity on Japan. Since the Japanese are the most "Westernized" of Orientals, it is not unreasonable to suppose they realize this facts as well as any one else. So, it isn't logical to suppose they would keep on undressing Westerners, as the cables keep stating from ONE YEAR TO GO Presidential Prospects No. 9--JAMES A.

Lots Better Friends of Mrs. Elizabeth Pro- Politician's politician Jim Farley plays game according: to rules.

If politicians alone selected presidents, no man would have a better chance for 140 than Postmaster General James A. Farley. Since they don't, however, his prospects are less than bright. Big Jim is what you might call a politician's politician. That is, he plays the game according to the rules.

His word Is as good as his bond. He renders most complete loyalty to his chief and, at the same time, makes due allowances for the necessities of politics and the frailties of elected persons. His executive ability is consider- remote and minor party hacks ought to be called by their first names, and so on. He is 51, the father of three children, a genial and friendly nonsmoker and non-drinker. Practically nobody dislikes him personally.

He was once town clerk of Stony Point, N. and he has been boss of the Democratic party ma- I chinery ever since F. R. was nominated in 1932. His loyalty probably would keep him from seeking the nomination if the President wanted it.

Japan has a lough enough time as it is waging war against the Chinese and at the same time shifting her troops around devious and circuitous ways to avoid tangling with Western Powers and piling up more trouble for. herseli', without becoming involved in ladies' girdles. Next step is to examine the source of there "undressing" incidents, and we find virtually all the victims are Thus the source of the news of the incident is British.

behind his outward mask. Ihe average Japanese is not a good mixer, is reserved, proud, suspicious and sensitive. Once he likes you, he likes you and that's that, and seldom double crosses you. The average Chinese has little pride when involved with a foreigner. The average Japanese is exactly the opposite.

A Chinese will take an insult from a foreigner where a Japanese will hand it back tit-for-tat. He hands exactly he receives. It is this which has made him unpopular with Occidentals--particularly the British who for have been motivated by the principle of "bearing the white man's burden'' and therefore not only pa- i tronize Asiatics, but the world large. So to start with we find the Japa- i nese behind the eight-ball in matter of social relations. Further-j more, their position is Ostensibly they are in the position of an aggressor.

China is the under-1 dog. So the world is much more ready to believe the best of China and the worst of Japan.

Next, however, nothing that eacnj "undiwssing" incident has some; kind of English origin, one looks around and notes that Britain: is the largest stakeholder in the Far East, France second, The third. The United support, however, is essential if the European conces-; sion holders in China are to oppose i Japan.

We then look for supporting evidence for that thesis and find) that the "undressing" stories have; had almost simultaneous release i i the press of Great Britain and the; United States, but in few other na- tions. It seems interesting that no Dutchman, Frenchman, Italian ori other nationalities are "undressed." Or, if any have been how is it that we haven't heard about them or that their respective Governments have not made an; outcry of objection? i Still further, the blockade of! Tientsin, without British retaliation, causes what is known as a "loss of face," in the Orient. Backfiring into this hot stories about! Westerners seized and being stripped of their clothing, tends to bring world condemnation about Tokio's ears. The British public grows hotter under the collar as it reads these "stories." The emotion may find an answering emotion ready to be touched of.t in emotional United States, if an American couple are substituted the "victims" of the undressing. So, considered, and devoid of all sentiments about who's wrong and who's right in the Far East, I suspect that all the racy girdle and B.
