SURGEON LISTS DRINKING
DON'TS FOR MOTORISTS
LONDON' (UP) Useful rules
about drinking for motorists have
been compiled by Dr. Alexander
Baldie, divisional surgeon of the
Metropolitan Police.
Among "refreshment rules of the
road" suggested by Dr. Baldie are:
On any occasion which the drink
ing of alcohol is a contemplated
ritual leave the car at home.
Avoid alcohol for at least two hours
before driving. This period is strictly
applicable only to the most modest
and conventional amounts.
Especially avoid alcohol on long
journeys.
Avoid alcohol on any journey un
dertaken alone.
Any alcohol consumed should be
taken only with meals.
Do not select an alcoholic beverage
merely to relieve thirst. A routine
practice of sipping cold water at in
tervals on a journey often remove the
desire for alcohol.
Cocktails and spirits, are relative
ly sudden in their action. Beer is
likely to cause drowsiness under con
ditions of fatigue or monotony.

Rival
Louis Aspires
to Quit Ring as
a Champion
Erown Bomber Hopes to Retain the
Crown for Four Years Louis
Has Little Education.
By ROBERT LA BLONDE
United Press Staff Correspondent
DETROIT (UP) When Joe Louis
embarked on his career as a profes
sional boxer in 1934, he lifted him
self out of a labor job in an auto
mobile body plant to become the
greatest financial success of any
fighter in ring history.
Within a year after his first pro
fessional bout, Louis was surrounded
with an aura of ballyhoo that made
him the biggest ring attraction of his
time. His powerful punch sent sports
writers to new heights in search of
nicknames. Louis became the Brown
Bomber, Alabama Assassin, Sepia
Slasher, Tan Thunderbolt, Detroit
Dynamiter, Black Menace, Jolting Joe
and Dead Pan.
Fight fans flocked to arenas to see
this new mauler. His purses rose
from $50 (his take from his first pro
match) to six figure amounts. Some
statisticians have estimated Louis re
ceived about $3,500 per round. At
present his worth in cash and invest
ments is around $500,000, including
several rich annuities which make
him independently wealthy. .
Roxborough Took Lead
When Louis abandoned amateur
ranks, he went under the wing of
John Roxborough, Detroit lawyer arftl
insurance salesman. A smart oper
ator, Roxborough enlisted Julian
Black of Chicago as co-manager, and
together they obtained Jack Black
burn, veteran Philadelphia light
weight, as Louis trainer. Blackburn
saw immediately that Joe had natural
ability, so his job was merely to
polish up this terrific fighting ma
chine and offer advice.
Prom the start of his procareer,
Louis piled knockout upon knockout
to reach the heights. He was laying
his opponents low in the early rounds.
making his future difficult because
fans were begining to expect quick
knockouts in all of his battles. One
thing Joe did accomplish he sup
plied plenty of evidence that there
was nothing phony about his bouts.
He was knocking on the doors of the
heavyweight title less than two years
after he started his pro career. His
total purses after the decision over
Tommy Farr amounted to about
$950,000.
Joe's first fight was staged in Chi
cago in July, 1934, against Jack Mc
Cracken, who became a kayo victim
in less than three minutes. That
year Louis scored 10 knockouts in 12
fights, winning two others by deci
sions. The next year in 10 fights the
Bomber won eight by the kayo route
and two by decisions. Notable among
his knockout victims that year were
Primo Camera, Max Baer, King Le
vinsky, Paulino Uzcudun and Lee
Ramage. He won 10-round decisions
from Patsy Perroni and Natie Brown.
Then Came Schmeling
The first major setback in Louis'
climb came in June, 193G, when he
was knocked out by Max Schmel
ing. He came back, however, in fol
lowing months to knock out Jack
Sharkey, Al Ettore, Jorge Brescia and
Eddie Simms, working his way to
ward a title bout. Schnieling's objec
tions and promoter's lawsuits not
withstanding, Louis was signed to
meet James J. Braddock in Chicago
last June. After seven game rounds,
Braddock dropped his title to the De
troit Negro.

ton picker became world's champion
at the age of 23,. the youngest fighter
ever to win the crown. There had
been only one other Negro heavy
weight champion. Jack Johnson.
The Bomber believes he has at
least four good years of fighting left.
H& confides that it's his one ambi
tion to retire as undefeated cham
pion, as did Gene Tunney. If he still
holds the title after four years, he
will do just that, his managers assert.
Has Little Education
Louis, quiet young man who speaks
rarely and then only in mono
syllables, offers a front that some de
scribe as almost psychopathic calm.
It must be remembered, however,
that Louis had very little formal edu
cation. He sleeps about 12 hours a
day and often naps in the afternoon.
His favorite food is steak, with chick
en running a close second. He neith
er smokes nor drinks.
His ring earnings have been spent
liberally upon his family. He pur
chased and furnished a new home for
his mother after he became big-time.
In September, 1935, Joe married
Marva Trotter, a Chicago beauty par
lor attendant. They have no chil

'Off Year' Politics
Brings Surmise
in Both Parties
Many Leaders Eye Governorship, Con
gressional Honors and Su
preme Court Post.
By ROBERT KELLY
United Press Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Oct. 9 (UP) The mel
ancholy days are here, saddest of the
year for both democrats and repub
licans in Nebraska.
The democrats, although they have
a fairly good party organization, find
their forces divided along several
lines and the republicans are suffer
ing from chronic lassitude, acute
lethargy and excessive timidity.
Patronage troubles do not worry
the republicans they have no jobs
to give away but they are giving
democratic leaders sleepless nights.
Observers here see some significance
in the fact that the appointment of
John C. Byrnes as U. S. marshal in
Omaha has not been made perman
ent. Byrnes belongs, or at least did be
long, to the Edward R. Burke-Arthur
Mullen wing, of the democratic party.
With Burke definitely off the New
Deal reservation because of his at
tack on President Roosevelt's court
plan and other measures and with
Mullen inactive, the democrats lack a
a good liaison man between Nebras
ka and Washington.
James C. Quigley, state democratic
chairman and national committee
man, is not an office holder and is
not in Washington where the jobs
are doled out.
Sen. George W. Norris' return to
Nebraska from a summer's rest in
Wisconsin clarified the situation only
slightly. Although the senator com
plained of his health, he let it be
known he plans to be in Washington
for the special session this fall and
for the regular session in January
when he again will sponsor measures
affecting the supreme court.
Norris refused to lend support to
the "Get Burke" campaign among
Nebraska New Dealers. He said
Burke had a "perfect right" to op
pose New Deal measures and in the
same interview he took issue with
Gov. R. L. Cochran on the merits of
the unicameral legislature.
Cochran's friends say that, barring
unforeseen developments, he will seek
re-election for a third term next year
with the idea of running for the
U. S. senate, possibly against Burke
in the democratic primaries, in
1940. If re-elected, he would be the
only governor in the history of Ne
braska to serve three successive terms.
Charley Bryan was governor for three
terms, but not successively.
Bryan and his homestead tax ex
emption plan are factors to be con
sidered in connection with the off
year elections. He has made no state
ment yet about his plans for next
year other than that he will do
everything he can to win adoption
of an amendment to the state consti
tution exempting from taxation
homes and farms valued up to $5,000
and occupied by the owners. He
may be a candidate for a fourth term
as governor.
Former Congressman John N. Nor
ton of Polk is another democrat be
lieved to have gubernatorial aspir
ations. If Cochran should step out
of the picture, Mayor Dan Butler of
Omaha and former Congressman
Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff prob
ably would leap in.
On the republican side there is a
movement to draft Congressman Karl
Stefan of Norfolk for the governor
ship battle. He was conspicuously
and. Mrs. Cochrane cn BiQclio
successful in the democratic land
slide last year. The thought nurtured
by some republican leaders is that
Stefan should be groomed immediate
ly for the 1940 senatorial contest.
Others believe that Hugh Brown of
Kearney, Robert Armstrong of Au
burn or Charles J. Warner of Waver-
ly, speaker of the legislature, would
have a better grasp of state affairs
than Stefan.
An interesting contest over the
chief justiceship of the Nebraska su
preme court may develop if even hali"
of the grapevine reports are true.
State Senator Charles A. Dafoe of Te
cumseh is said to have been eyeing
Chief Justice Charles A. Goes' chair
enviously. Associate Justice L. B.
Day and State Senator Harry Gantz
of Alliance also are being discussed
as candidates for the highest posi
tion. in Nebraska courts. It's a $7,-500-a-year
job, good for six years.
Judge Goss has not announced wheth
er he will seek re-election.
Other wholly unconfirmed reports
are that Secretary of State Harry R.
Swanson and Lieutenant Governor
Walter Jurgensen will file for the
democratic nomination. in the second
district; that Foster May, Omaha ra
dio announcer, will try for the state
railway commission, and that Dwight
Griswold of Gordon now has his heart
set on beating Harry Coffee of Chad
rdn out of his congressional seat.
EXPAND WPA PROGRAM
LINCOLN, Oct. 8 (UPj Nebraska's
WPA program will be expanded to
put additional needy unemployed per
sons to work. State WPA Adminis
trator D. F. Felton announced today
upon his return from a conference
with federal officials in Chicago.
Felton said no quota for the state
will be set but explained that his
agency will reassign all needy work
ers who left WPA for private employ
ment and lost their jobs through no
fault of their own. The same pro
vision will apply also to persons who
now are employed to the federal
units
"Our first consideratior will be
proper projects." he said. "Where
they are properly sponsored and bad
ly in need we will start work if propr
er labor is available."
Farmers will be extended help in
areas where other labor is unavail
able, Felton said. No farmer quota
was set and farm employment will
be based on projects submitted and lo
cal conditions.
Felton said WPA probably would
take over the record of farm laborers
now receiving grants from the farm
security administration. He explain
ed this would include farmers who
have been forced to abandon farms
and now reside in towns.

JAIL PAINTING CLAIMED
BY TWO EX-PRISONERS
ST. LOUIS (UP) The mystery of
the painting of a one-armed Christus
which has adorned the wall of a cell
in city jail for several years was deep
ened today with two former inmates
of the cell claiming credit for the
picture.
Martin Rels, 35-year-old house
painter, told authorities he painted
the picture while serving a term in
March, 1933. Reis said he was un
able to finish the picture at the time,
consequently, one arm was missing.
But Melba Perry, an itinerant
painter of Hamilton, O., told news
papermen that he had painted the
picture. Perry said he often stayed
overnight in jails, during a trip
through the country several years
ago, and had done the painting while
he was in St. Louis.
Both Melba and Reis have painted
new pictures or cnrist to suppon
their claims. Both pictures, however,
differ widely from the one in the cell.
