Immediately upon into a fight camp the critic would assemble his machine and refuse to believe a word told him by a fighter, his manager or trainer, unless the statement was made while the machine was in operation. The cost of such a machine would be great, because it could not be a cheap model, but would have to be a very rugged one, able to withstand some of the biggest fibs since Benedict Arnold took the Oath of Allegiance. I wished for a lie detector yesterday afternoon when I tat with Max Schmellng and his trainer, Max Maohon, on the porch of their bungalow, high In the Adiron-dacks. and asked questions concerning the fight with Joe Louis next Wednesday night Deliberately or otherwise they gave me answers that no man In his right mind could accept completely. For example, I asked Schmellng, who ia gcttins very gray around the temples, by the way, if a defeat at the hands of Louis, a negro, would greatly alter his status as a national hero in Germany.

His answer was a determined "no," and so was that of Machon. SchmeJing went on to say that he was not even a member of the Nazi party, had no interest in poli tics whatsoever, and that Adolf Hitler was a much too busy man to be interested in such a minor person as a prizefighter. The lie detector would have backfired on two of those answers, I believe. Schmeling Isn't a member of the party, but he Is interested in politics because he is affiliated with the youth movement in a high capacity, and that affiliation rests, in great part, on his countrymen's belief that he is the greatest fight er in the world. And while Der Fuehrer is not vitally concerned with the fight as a figpt (he isn't keen on sports at all) Nordic supremacy is a by-word with him.

I asked Schmeling if Joe Louis hurt him in their fight of two years ago. Before he could answer, Max Machon volunteered a robust 'nein." Schmeling echoed him. Then I wonder just what that left hook to the stomach Louis landed in the seventh round did to Max. If it didn't hurt him, it surely didn't help him. If I were asked to name the five meanest, most vicious blows I ever saw thrown in the ring, that hook of Joe's would be one of them.

The power of It drove the wrist of Joe's glove clean out of sight into Max's middle, and for a moment I thought It would win the fight for him. And I wonder it Schmeling was telling me the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth when he said that nothing he read i PRESBYTERIAN BIBLE The onenlng session of the sum mer Bible school will be held on Monday morning, June 20th, at 8:30 nvinok in the Grace Presbyterian rhnrch.
