The Brown Bomber cam back tonight, all the way back with an explosion that electrified the fight world and smashed Germany's Max Schmelin into a helpless, sprawling figure of defeat in less than one round.

Dusky Joe Louis waited two years to avenge the one and only defeat of his professional career, but then took little more than' two minutes to achieve it under the Yankee Stadium's floodlights with a devastating blast that produced the quickest ending in pugilistic history to a world heavyweight championship match. The 24-year-old former Detroit Free Press Golden Glover, knocked out in the same ring in 12 rounds by Schmeling in 1936, turned loose an attack of such suddenness and ferocity that the German never had a chance. Beaten to the first punch by the Bomber's snake-like left, Schmeling was knocked down three times and so badly S-7 THI 2 i 5 'Mi VI I Paradise Valley Dances for Joy as Its Joe Wins Bank Auctions Recalls Sacrifice of Values as Result of U.S. Sale Experience Painful to Birmingham, Too By Hub M. George PONTIAC, June 22 Pontiac and Birmingham have had enough of 10 per cent auctions of bank receivership assets by the United States Treasury Department.

The Free Press disclosure that such a sale has been considered for Detroit, with picking in prospect for the auctioneers from the $75,000,000 of real estate and mortgage assets of the old First National Bank, Btirred unpleasant memories here. Detroit's fear of sacrificed values unfairly penalizing depositors and deflated community values, is not imaginary, say those of experience in Pontiac. Still of Same Opinion And depositors in both Birmingham and the county seat, won over reluctantly by high-pressure salesmanship to desist in their open opposition to the sale, are pretty generally "of the same opinion still." One permanent development of the sale conducted by Auctioneer Ben Temple, Oct. 20 and 21, of from $250,000 to $300,000 of realty is a shift in the requirement of from 15 to 25 per cent in down payment, at a time when the FHA is pushing 00 per cent loans on new homes. Sales activity, which probably would be none too good in any event due to economic reversals, is almost negligible now, because so few prospective buyers can dig up the one-fourth down.

The shift in down-payment requirement, it is noted, represents the exact measure of the auctioneer's commission. Brain Children Pressure liquidation and auction sales are the brain children of the so-called "10 per cent group" in the Comptroller's office. Those active in the Pontiac sale were Temple and Walker Adams, director of sales. Temple's sale was distinct from receivership operations. He made all arrangements, handled all expense, and collected commissions.

In practice, it is difficult understand that expenses could equal 5 per cent, as claimed. How eagerly the attractive commissions are fought for Is well illustrated in Circuit Court records, where in at least one instance, Temple's commission was disputed and made subject to litigation. In Hub of Business District The home site of the old First National Bank, a three-story brick structure, on a corner opposite the courthouse, is in the very hub of Pontiac business activity. Temple's auction of this property produced one bid of far below the value at which it was carried on the books, from J. H.

Varon, identified with Pontiac affairs of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Please Turn to Page 3 5 Shirley Stops to Play, but Isn't Recognized LAGRANGE, June 22 (A. Two boys and a pup had a romp with Shirley Temple as the child movie star made a brief stop today while motoring East with her parents. The boys were Tommy Keenan, whose mother operates a filling station where Shirley's party stopped for gasoline, and David Fisher, son of Lieut. Ray Fisher of the State Police.

Roosevelt Icy for Aiming Sieial to Ttrt Prest ind Chlmeo Trhun WASHINGTON, June 22 The chilling shadow of 1940 has fallen across the blooming friendship of President Roosevelt and his two-fisted trouble shooter, Joseph Patrick Kennedy, United States ambassador to Creat Britain. This was learned here from unimpeachable sources this afternoon on the heels of the long conversation between Mr. Roosevelt and the Ambassador in Hyde Park yesterday afternoon.

The conversation, it was learned, was carried on in a frigid atmosphere because Mr. Roosevelt has received positive evidence that Kennedy hopes to use the Court of St. James' as a stepping stone to the White House in 1940. President Learns Secret Copies of a secret circular, which Kennedy has heen forwarding to selected Washington correspondents, have been relayed to the President. The circular, according to reports, contains information on the progress of British debt and trade negotiations which have not been reported to the State Department.

It was learned also that Kennedy has besought a prominent Washington correspondent to direct his presidential boom from London. It is not known whether the offer is being considered seriously, but its tender is considered as evidence of Kennedy's ambition. These revelations were seen here today as explaining the change in the attitude of Administration leaders toward the red-haired ambassador in the last two months. White House intimates, who once hailed Kennedy as the only representative of big business to see eye to eye with the Administration, lately have taken to characterizing him as the soul of selfishness in language crisp with oaths. A New Dealer Speaks "Joe Kennedy never did anything without thinking of Joe Kennedy," a high Administration official said.

"And that's the worst thing I can say about a father of nine kids. He's put them in an orphanage one by one to get himself into the White House." Similar vehemence has been expressed in Administration quarters against everyone who has been mentioned as a possible successor to the President. Presidential friendship has withered wherever the White House appeared on the horizon. The most notable example is Postmaster General James A. Farley, to whom, more than to any other man, Mr.

Roosevelt owes his office. When genial Jim was mentioned as his successor, the President lost faith with his party leader and took to directing party affairs through his son James, Harry Hopkins, Thomas Corcoran and other intimates. G-Mans Spy Tale Held Up by Court U.S. Protesting Use of 'Inside' Articles NEW YORK, June 22 (A.P.) Federal authorities started action today to prevent publication of ar ticles by Leon G. Turrou, former ace G-man, advertised as the "authentic inside, story" of the indictment of 18 members of an alleged GCrman spy ring.

Federal Judge Murray Hulbert signed an order late today direct ing the New York Post to show cause tomorrow why it should not be restrained from printing the articles, scheduled to begin tomorrow. The order wis obtained by Lamar Hardy, United States attorney here. Department of Justice officials in Washington said that they wanted to prevent publication of such confidential matter. Son from London Gossiping of a Marital Rift Countess and Spouse Reported in Row over Child Scotland Yard Detail Watches Over Baby LONDON, June 22 (U. Scotland Yard officials indicated tonight that a "domestic affair" Involving Countess Barbara Haug-witz Reventlow, five-and-ten-cent store heiress, and her mysteriously missing Danish husband, had been responsible for a kidnaping scare centering on their baby son Lance.

The handsome forty-three-year-ckl Count Court Haugwitz-Revent-low has been absent from London for some time, supposedly on the Continent, but is expected to return soon. The Daily Mail quoted the Count having said, in a telephone Interview from Paris, that sharp j.S..Annn.

If he returns, he will find the sprawling a 1 1 z-Rcventlow London town house, second in splendor only to Buckingham Pal-are itself, heavily guarded and his two-year-old son surrounded by Scotland Yard and private guards.

"They called me up and told me I coukl not get back to England," the Danish Count was quoted by the Daily Mail. "This is all being done to keep me out of the country, but they will not and can not." The Daily Mail told the Count of reports concerning differences between himself and the Countess regarding the future education of their son. Determined to Return "I have done nothing a gentleman would not do," he was reported as having said and repented his determination to arrive in England Thursday. The reporter who interviewed the Count by telephone repeated the conversation to the Countess, who then replied: "Well, all I can say is that it Is lucky Lance can't read The Daily Mail said it understood that a visit by the. Countess to the Bow Street Court had been made in connection with an application on her behalf for a summons to obtain temporary custody of the child pending litigation.

The summons was granted, it was added. The newspaper said that it understood also that there had been certain disagreements between the Count and Countess on questions of finance. Refuse to Discuss Order Officials of Bow Street Court, where the Countess nervously conferred in private with the Chief Magistrate late today, refused to discuss whether the Countess had obtained a legal order safeguarding her son. The child somedav will be heir to the $40,000,000 Woolworth fortune.

Miss Singer lost the sight of her left eye when she was about 10 years old. She then lived here. Dr. Pino treated her then and she said tonight that she would "do whatever he decides is best for me." Four years ago she moved to Los Angeles. At that time the sight of her right eye was unimpaired, but five months ago it became affected by what doctors call a sympathetic opthalmia.

Dr. Pino said the right eye might have to be removed. Kroger Stores Being Guarded Unionists Released in Bombing Probe Police guards were placed at Kroger Grocery Eaking Co. stores in the city Wednesday by Deputy Superintendent Louis L. Berg to prevent recurrence of bombings which damaged six stores, three of them Kroger branches, within 15 minutes shortly after midnight.

Six unionists arrested after the bombings were released Wednesday to their attorneys, to appear in the office of Inspector George Hertcl Thursdny rooming. Five of them were members of a committee that last Tuesday warned Mayor Reading and police officials that there might be violence unless police guards were withdrawn from Kroger trucks, Hertcl said. Seen as Warning Tolice interpreted the bombings as warnings to five West Side branches of the company to join a strike called June 14 over an alleged wage-cut plan. The Kroger company issued the following statement: "All of our departments are operating. "All stores are open as usual and doing business.

Trained and competent managers are filling the places of those not working. rrole of Bombings "The identity of the persons responsible for last night's bombing has not yet been ascertained.

FLUSHING, June 22 Michigan State police and Genes-see County officers searched Wednesday night for three gunmen who clubbed a bank employee and a customer into unconsciousness and then escaped with $4,285 from the First State and Savings Bank at Flushing. It was Michigan's sixth bank holdup this year.

A highway blockade, maintained by police for several hours, was lifted Wednesday night when It became apparent that the bandit gang had slipped through the cordon of officers after fleeing from this village, eight miles northwest of Flint. Escape in Sedan The bandits made their getaway in a late model sedan which they had parked in front of the bank on Flushing's main street. Police were hindered by scanty descriptions of the men. Bank officials said that the thugs had missed nearly $5,000 which lay in unlocked drawers. The loot Included approximately $200 in silver with the remainder in paper money.

Checks were not disturbed. Michael S. Pajtas, twenty-seven-year-old assistant cashier, was alone in the bank when the three men entered. He told State Police that one gunman walked to the rear of the bank and asked him to change a $2 bill. Then Pulls a dun When Pajtas proffered the change the bandit poked a pistol through the grill and declared, "This is a stickup." Pajtas was compelled to lie face down behind the counter while the thug opened an empty drawer.

While his two companions remained near the front entrance, the first bandit forced Pajtas to open the grilled door leading to the bank vault. He then walked into the vault and scooped up the money while Pajtas stood with hands upraised. Again ordered to lie down on his face, Pajtas was complying when Fred Russell, 34, operator of a bus line between Flint and Flushing, entered the bank. Two Step Behind Ilim The two gunmen nearest Russell behind him and shoved guns into his back, ordering him to lie on the floor. The third bandit, apparently believing that Russell was an officer since he wore a visored cap, struck the prone Pajtas on the back of the head with a gun butt.

Russell was slugged a moment later, the blow being somewhat deflected by his cap. Pajtas suffered a deep scalp wound and both men were knocked unconscious by the blows, although Russell said that he heard the scuff of feet as the men left the bank. Pajtas was the first to recover and called sheriff' officers. Two Thugs Described Fajtas said that one man was about 30 years old, five feet 11 inches tall, and wore a light sport jacket and grey trousers. Another wore a gray suit, was 30 to 35 years old, six feet tall and weighed about 180 pounds.

No description of the third bandit was obtained. The previous bank robberies this year included one in which bandits took $3,100 after abducting an employee of the Metamora State Savings Bank on Jan. 8. Other robbed banks and the amounts taken include the Yale State Savings Bank, on March 21, Farmington State Bank, March 24, Bloomingdale Peoples State Bank, April 19, and a branch of the Detroit Savings Bank, $7,685. The bandits were raptured and I now are serving prison terms for more than half of the 1938 hold-i ups.

All West Coast in Single Union NLRB Makes C.I.O. Sole Dock Unit WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. The National Labor Relations Board tonight overruled protests of the American Federation of Labor and certified Harry Bridges' International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union as exclusive bargaining agent for 12,860 longshoremen in 31 Pacific Coast ports. The board's action was unprecedented in that it established the first major geographical bargaining unit in certifying the. I.L.W.U.

as solp. bargaining agent for all longshoremen who work for companies which belong to the following five employers' associations: Waterfront Employers of Seattle, of Portland, of San Francisco, and of Southern California and the Shipowners Association of the Pacific Coast. Says Majority Backs Him The board said that 9,557 of the 12,860 eligible workers had signed cards designating Bridges' union as their exclusive representative in bargaining over wages, hours and other conditions of employment. The decision represented a major victory for Bridges, Australian-born CI O. leader against whom deportation proceedings have been instituted on grounds that he is a member of the Communist Party.

The NLRB ruling covered one of the major points at dispute in the. widespread West Coast maritime strike of 1934 when the long shoremen, then members of the International Longshoremen's Association (A.F.L.) struck for a coastwise agreement. The A.F.L. and the reorganized I.L.A. formed from dissenting unionists who would not join the claimed before the NLRB that the board had no power to designate a bargaining unit to negotiate with more than one individual employer.

But the board overruled this contention. Reason Given by NLRB "Action by the longshoremen, if it is to be effective, must be con- and co-ordinated," the NLRB said. "The lessons of the disastrous local strikes in 1918 and 1919 have brought home to the longshoremen that action which is not coastwide will result in a harmful setback to their self-organization. "The history of bargaining and of the longshoremen's organizations is a vivid portrayal of the experiences of the longshoremen as they learned that, since their employers were acting together on a coast basis, they, too, would have to build a coast organization which would parallel the organization of the employers." The board pointed out that the Wagner Act expressly provided it could fix an "employer unit" and that the term included one or more associations of employers.

4'. an increase of 48 io7 over the ror-rsronsng period nf lat year, the Department Wed- Dauerea tnat nis nanaiersTi threw in the towel in token of defeat as the timekeeper tolled the count of eight on the last knockdown. The finish came after 2 minutes, 4 seconds of the first round as a howling crowd of 80,000 onlookers, thrilled by the Negro's spectacular rush to triumph, witnessed the most sensational heavyweight title finish since Jack Dempsey flattened Luis Angel Firpo at the Polo Grounds in September, 1923. Even Faster Than Demptey Dempsey's memorable conquest came after 57 seconds of the second round, a total of only 3:57 of whirlwind action. Schmeling, a picture of confidence beforehand and favored by many to become the first ex-champion in history to regain the heavyweight crown, never had a chance after the bell rang for the first round.

Louis, justifying his own prediction of a short finish, achieved It one round sooner than he expected, with a two-fisted onslaught that left the huge crowd as excited as Schmeling was dizzy after it was all over. The champion took command on the first exchange, belted Schmeling unmercifully about the head, and quickly had the German in distress. Max was on the verge of going down within the first minute, but covered and hung grimly to the ropes, near his own corner, as he tried desperately to save himself. Max Goes Down for Three. Finally forced into the open, Schmeling went down on his side with a rolling motion after being clipped with a hard right to the head.

He was already so groggy that he took no heed of either the count or warning yells from his corner. He struggled to his feet, after only three seconds, only to meet another withering blast. On the second knockdown, Schmeling sprawled to all fours, after Louis had fired both hands to his jaw. The German's eyes were glassy, his mouth open, but his courage somehow pulled him back to his feet, after a count of only one. Pirate Turn to rage 14 Column 2 In a Nutshell Louis took the offensive at the start and missed two short lefts as Schmeling crouched cautiously.

Louis nailed Schmeling against the ropes and smashed Max with rights and vicious lefts. Max shot over a short right that halted Louis' whirlwind drive. Louis smashed over a short hard right that made Max grunt. A hard right staggered Schmeling and Louis piled in as Max leaned against the ropes. Louis followed in and measured him and Schmeling went down for a count of three.

The stunned, amazed Teuton arose, stretched against the ropes, only to go down almost instantly with another hard left and right. Eut he was up after a count of one, only to be sprawled again with a terrific right to the jaw. As he lay almost in the center of the ring, dazed and half unconscious, wilh the count reaching eight, his handler. Max Machon, threw the towel into the ring and ended the fight. The knockout came at 2:04 of the first round.

Wild-eyed with enthusiasm over the crushing victory of their own Joe Iuis, and seeking expression for their joy in dancing, the residents of Paradise Valley Wednesday night staged an open-air celebration around St. Antoine uni Beacon Sts. St. Antoine was roped off for the celebration from Gratiot Ave. to Adams and Beacon St was cleared from Hastings St.

Feet kept time, heads kept time, whole bodies kept time. The music was played by a swing rhythm band under Cecil Lee which was motinted on a truck in front of the B. and C. Club. The tune they played, steadily for 20 minutes, was entitled: "Flatfoot Floogie with a Floy Floy." Where Lee dug up this piece was undetermined at a late hour, but it spoke for itself as an incentive to the dance.

Celebration Organized The organized celebration was sponsored by Albert Pakeman. tha first mayor of Paradise Valley, who thought it would be a good idea to get everyone together, rope off the streets and let them have their fun there. After some previous Joe Louis victories the celebrations have been a tnf! on the unruly side. Reuben Patton. present mayor, was in New York at the ringside.

Pakeman said that there was not much betting because the boys had trouble finding anyone who wanted to bet on Schmeling. As the radio loudspeaker started the broadcast of the fight th noises subdued and all was tense. When Louis knocked down his oponent the first time there was a lot of noise, and when the knockout was announced, there was nothing but noise and everyone just cut loose.
