The sessions do not formally open until Tuesday afternoon, but with a couple of big deals possible, and league business of importance to settle, early arrivals were around sniffing the breeze. While the fans' Interest In the meetings was confined largely to the doings of David arums and Trader Horns, the National league at least had a big problem on its hands.

The Boston Braves, now a ward of the league, must be reor ganized for the 1936 campaign. Ford Frick, president of the older organization, was among the early arrivals, probably for the purpose of discussing the Braves problem with Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. They went Into a huddle last night, but emerged without telling what they talked about. There is a possibility of a deal In which the St. Louis Browns of the American league will pass from the estate Of Phil De C.

Ball into the control of a group of St. Louis busi ness men headed by George sisler, a Brownie hero during his playing days. It has been reported that $500,000 will make the sale possible, Fans and baseball writers prob ably will be relieved of the suspense In connection with all kinds of rumors concerning Jimmy Foxx, the Philadelphia Athletics' slugging first baseman, and other members of patriarch Connie Mack's flock Foxx has been "sold" variously to the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox for anywhere from $75,000 to $150,000 unofficially. Another deal that has been on the fire for months, the proposed transfer of Al Simmons from the Chi' cago White Sox to the world cham' pion Detroit Tigers, also may be threshed out. The deal, if It is completed, may involve the St, Louis Browns, with Rogers Horns- by giving the white Sox outfielder Sammy West, in return ior someone from Detroit via Chicago.

The mysterious deal between the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals during the minor league meetings at Dayton, in which everything but the identities of the players involved was revealed, also is expected to be brought into the open. JOE LOUIS FACES TEST ON FRIDAY Uzcudun Cannot Dish it Out, But is Champ at "Taking It" NEW YORK, Dec. 8. 5V-The boxing world is scoing to find out next Friday night just how hard Joe Louis can hit.

Detroit's sensational "Brown Bomber," hailed as the sharpest puncher since Jack Dempsey, is going to try his shots against the cast-iron jaw of Paulino Uzcudun who in 69 battles over a 12-year stretch has never known what it's like to kiss the canvas. The two are billed for .15 rounds or less of fisticuffing in Madison Square Garden. The bout marks Louis' debuit in the big "house that Tex built." Old Paulino has lost more fights than he has won, and he cant punch any more. But he still Is the ring's No. 1 punch collector.

He Is as hard to floor as ever. His unorthodox style of fighting makes him extremely difficult to hit except on (the elbows, shoul dens, back of the head and other spots where well meant licks fail to do much damage. Few expect Louis to stop the Spaniard cold. But If the Bomber can succeed where such fellows as Max Baer, Max Schmeling, Jack Delaney and Primo Camera railed, and merely score a you'll have to agree he has what it takes in those mailed fists of his. Paulino Is spotting Louis 15 years.

The negro also has the advantage "in height and reach. Paulino will have a slight edge in weight. Both fighters sailed Into the last week of training with a vengeance today. Max Schmeling, who may fight the negro next summer and who is in this country for the expressed purpose of seeing him In action, drove to PompCon Lakes and watched closely as Louis cuffed half a dozen spar ring partners around. Schmeling was Impressed, even though it was obvious Joe wasn't extending himself.

Meanwhile, 'Paulino, with Jack Dempsey and Brig. Gen. John Phelan, chairman of the New York State Atheltic commission. In the gallery, romped through a brisk session at Orangeburg. The Old Basque grinned from ear to ear as the best belts of his spar mates bounced harmlessly off his chin and jaw.

The Spaniard, who hasn't fought since Max Sohmeling beat him in Germany last July, Is working much harder than Louis. The Bomber has been idle very little since his easy conquest of Max Baer. He has been appearing regularly in exhibitions and had little serious work to do at Pompton Lakes. DOLLS, PETS HAVE DAY BILOXI, Deer 8 Hundreds of Biloxians lined the downtown streets Saturday to witness the annual doll and pet parade sponsored by the merchants bureau of the Chamber of Commerce. Nearly 1000 chil dren were In the march and prizes Fere awarded ia rariou dlvirionji i (Continued from Page One) habitants streamed toward the mountains in a night-long exodus.

They carried their pitiful belongings on their backs. Some bore sick and crippled relatives. Women walked with babies strapped to their bodies. The emperor ordered the Inhabitants of Dessye to scatter to the hills after the second Italian air attack in which three heavy Italian bombers circled the city at 8:20 a.m. They dropped incendiary bombs, burning many houses and creating new panic among the populace.

The American hospital, struck Friday by three enormous bombs, was operating under a shattered roof. Doctors worked all Friday night, performing 32 amputations. One mother and two babies, their heads almost torn from their bodies, were brought to the hospital. Only the braver Inhabitants remained behind to help bury the dead. Many natives were found buried In the blackened wreckage of their homes.

ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 8 (Ethiopia seethed with indignation tonight at the double bombing of Emperor Haile Selassie's headquarters city of Dessye. Many believed the two-day bombardment of the city and a Red Cross hospital camp outside the town by Fascist war planes would hasten a long predicted major battle in the north. The government, In a communique, denied Italian claims that Dessye was a fortified town. "Instead of 60 anti-aircraft guns, as Asmara claims, there Is only one," said the communique.

That was operated by the emperor himself. "It also Is false that the emperor fled into a forest." Fifty bombs were dropped on Dessye during Saturday's raid; more than 1,000 fell the day before. Authorities reported 55 were killed and more than 300 wounded on the first day. Casualty figures for Saturday were lacking, but a report from the wrecked American hospital said the institution again was bombed.

NAVAL-" (Continued from Page One) empire Japan, Germany and Italy.

Since the powers assembled at Washington eager to eliminate offensive navies, Japan has become a world power, rapidly spreading into China and crowding upon traditional British Interests In the Orient. Germany has broken the military clauses of the Versailles treaty and returned to naval shipbuilding. Fascist Italy has begun to flex its muscles in the Mediterranean which Mussolini and John Bull both like to regard as "Mare Nostrum" Destruction of the great German wartime navy permitted the British for 15 years to virtually forget the North Sea and their home defenses and concentrate attention on the Mediterranean, the empire line of communication, and the far east, where Singapore was developed as a great naval base.

Practically every bridge over the bayou will need repairs, and numerous streets were damaged.

Loss at the flooded pumping plant was figured around $30,000, on the basis of damage there in the 1929 flood. Losses really began mounting this morning when water began pouring into basements of stores and warehouses along the bayou.

HORTON -Use of Passenger Zones At street intersections, within the business districts, in front of hotels, theaters, hospitals, and other public buildings, you will find part of the curb painted yellow.

That portion of the streets are passenger zones. They are created for the purpose of furnishing a safe place for motorists to drive up close to the curb to discharge and take on passengers, and for no other. Some of the passenger rones are also bus zones. Private cars and buses have the same rights of use of bus zones, that is, to stand there only long enough to load and unload passengers. Quite a few people have a mistaken Idea of the purpose of a passenger zone and what constitutes a violation of the passenger zone ordinance.

They seem to think that It is permissible to stop there if only for a short time. The most frequent violations that we have of the passenger zone ordinance are stopping in the passenger zone; to run or send in a store for a package; wait for some one to come out of a store, office, or show; and to engage In conversation. When you are driving in the business section and are required to stop your car on account of a red traffic light, and a passenger zone Is paiallel and near your car, you should leave sufficient room between your car and the curb for other motorists to drive between your car and the zone to make the passenger zone accessible to them for the purpose of taking on and discharging passengers, for If you don't you block traffic In the use of the zone (Next week: Signal Uthts.)

A temporary Injunction was granted by the supreme court pending the hearing. Three days later, the Tenneessee Valley act will be attacked and defended.

The remaining New Deal case before the justices involving the right of the government to condemn land for a slum-clearance project, will be argued early next year. While expressing confidence that the farm act will be upheld, ad ministration leaders say they are ready for any eventualities flowing from the court' final ruling expected In January. President Roosevelt has hailed the prinicples of AAA as a per manent program and Secretary Wallace has asserted acceptable substitutes will be ready if any or all of the props under AAA are knocked out. A general sales tax and higher income taxes have been mentioned by Wallace as possible alternatives to processing taxes to raise money for paying farmers to curtail acre age planted to basic agricultural commodities. Senator McNary, the republican leader, has announced that he will offer on the opening day of con gress a bill providing for the op tional application of either the equalization fee, export debenture or domestic allotment plan.

Although the Hoosac case has to do (Erectly with the validity of processing taxes, the entire act, is at stake. The decision of the court of appeals was sweeping. "It is clear, we thinic, it saia. that xxx congress at the outset has attempted to Invade a field over which it has no control, since Its obvious purpose, viz: To con trol or regulate the production or agricultural products in the several states by the methods adopted this act, is beyond the power oi congress.
