STRIBLING IS BIG FAVORITE • I J: Chicago, Dec. 12. - - <U.R) ~W. L. '"Voting'' Stribling was a prohibitive favorit • today to retain his ; ranking at Hie top of the heavyI weight class against the challenge lof Tufty Griffiths. Tlte rival heavyweight title contenders are bill'd for 10 r. umls.j or less, at Chicago stadium toingti' ; i and although few boxing observers ciedit Griffiths with more than an outside chance of victory the bout. i lias attracted nationwide interest I and s expected to gross more than J I H 25,000. \ Tlte bout, held as a charity benefit lor the Illinois state, unemployI nient commission, ranks as the J first major heavyweight attractloni since Max Schmeling acquired the world championship on a foul ■ punch by Jack Sharkey six months , age tonight. The National Boxing Association. I wh'ch controls prize ring activities in 30 states and is affiliated with j numerous foreign commissions, has ' i tiled that Schmeling must <1 fend his title against the winner. If I Schmeling declines, tonight's vic-; ■tor will be recogniz'd by the N. | B. A. and affiliated organizations asj world champion. Madison Square Garden of New; York, which has controlled the h avyweight class for the past decade and which probably will stage . tlie next championship fight, also Is interested in the Stribling-Grif-fiths clash even though it is promi ted by a rival organization. The garden hopes to retain control of . the division by “building up" its ’ favorite candidate. Jack Sharkey, j as Schnieling s next opponent. Young Stribling is risking his ( ranking as outstanding contender ( yor the title in tonight's bout. A defeat or draw would cost him the prestige won by his quick knockouts of Otto Von Porat and ’ Phil Scott.

This is neither honest from the standpoint of! the taxpayer and from the all-im-! po:tant standpoint cf what are the proper functions of the fed ral government, nor will it work with eouality and justice as between individuals. “The high-principled find industrious among the distressed will insist on treating it as a loan and; will cripple themselves and their, families in an attempt to repay it; the idle and shiftless wiiT accept it as a gift, dismiss any attempt at repayment, and live eff the federal government as long as the opportunity exists. “If our real purpose is to drill a pipeline into the federal treasury and establish the dole in the Unit-; d States, with all that will neces-

sarily follow, not only in the strick- ■ n areas but throughout the country where community after com i munity is generously providing for i the need of its people in accordance with Anrrican traditions and American spirit, then le tus adopt > the senate bill." ( Tilson said the Red Cross was ( organized tt care for the distress- j ed. ( "The policy proposed in the sen-j] at’ bill,” he said, “will not only :1 strey the sense of local respousi- ( bllity, which is one of the very foundatir ns of our institutions, but it will almost inevitably dry up the sources of private generosity.” o Confesses Huge Theft Lis Angeles, Dec. 12. —(U.R) —Defalcations which “may total SB.000,000” were confessed by Gilbert H. Bess niyer. secretary and general manager of the Guaranty Building and Loan Association, in a statement to directors of the organization. it was announced teday by Judge Harlan F. Palmer. Hollywod publisher who was tailed in as an advisor to dlrecto - s of the association. “Bossemy r had confessed to speculations that will probably run nto $8,000,090,” Judge Palmer said. "Just what he did with the vast amount we do not yet know. A written confession is now being prepared by Bessemyer.” _i— o *— Woman Holdup Victim New York, Dec. 12. —(U.R) —Mis. C. F. Zittell, wife cf the publisher of Zit's Weekly, theatrical and sporting papsr, was forced to give ■ ’jewelry estimated to be worth I SIOO,OOO to two gunmen who gainled admittance to her apartment 'in the guise of furniture handlers ’ making a delivery, according to ai report to police headquarters today. The bandits, one of whom carried two guns, ushered Mrs. Zittell and several servants into a room of her apartment at 110 Riverside Drive .'and directed her to open a safe, the report said. - o -— Killer Is Executed Chicago, Dec. 12 —(U.R)—A few I hours after he had remarked that Ihe “felt like amillion bucks” Wil- , Ham Lenhardt of Cleveland walked to- the electric chair in the county jail early today and was i electricuted for the murder of a I case owner during a holdup on ’ June 19, 1929. i Lenhardt entered the death : chamber a few seconds after midjnight.

IRISH RECEIVE -! CHAMPION CUP South Bend. Ind., Dee. 12. (U.R) ! —The Rissman trophy, etnblamatie of the national football championship, today was in permanent possession of Nitre Dame university. 1 Prof. Frank Dickinson of Illinois university, originator of the Dickinson system of scoring by which i eliarnpknships ure d tetmined, pre-smit-d the trophy at the annual dinner given the Notre Dame team lust night. The trophy was award1 ed permanently in recognition of j Notre Dame's having won it three i times in a decade. Principal speakers at the dinner we-e Coach Knute Rockite, Coach Alonzo Stagg < f Chicago university. The* Rev. Charles L. O Donnell. prt sident of Notre Dame, John L. Griffith, western conference 1 commissioner, and Kenneth L. Wilson, director of athletics at Northwestern, < ne of many schools Notre Dani? has defeat d on the gridiron. Father O'Donnell directed his add: ess at opponents of football as a colegiate sport and defended it j againrft persons he term d “rest riners.” • Wh n all is said and done there is some appeal which football makes to the best of our American people and that appeal cannot be ignored." he said. I “I wonder,” he continued, “if ‘ anyone knows just what it is. So j many analyze it differently. It is indeed confusing. Surely millions of us are not lunatics, though there are superior persons who tell tts I I that we ar?. But never mind? Not i i all the peopls who are clamoring I fcr sanity ate themselves sane and I most reformers badly need to be reformed. "I hope thsy keep their hands off college football at least a little while longer, and I'm not, thinking principally of paying for cur new stadium. “No. I’m thinking o fthe levy of young men w hich foot ball raises i out of a group of three thousand, 'ycuns men. endows them with; some coll ctive personality which still leaves each man himself and i yet marks the group a unit, and rm’xidies in it the hopes and aspir- i lations, the courage, the daring, th” I I hearty good fellowship, the fin”; - ■ 1 hem r of the thousands in h< s -hool they represent."

NO SUPPORT IN UPPER HOUSE FOR NEW BILL ■CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, leaders in submitting the world t court to the s.nate has contribut’-j f ed to the tens? situation. James E. Watson, republican senate lead- J er, has openly taken issue with the ] president on this question. The :esuit is the president is left with- I out a leader. Senatcr Simeon I), j I Fess, of Ohio, a strong friend of I 1 the court, opposed the president's 1 1 tactics and has said he cannot tin- I dertake the leadership of the court I fight. It may fall to a democrat. I Senatcr Claude Swanson of Virginia. Not one republican voted in dissent when the senate yesterday refused to give the president discretion in handling the $115,000,000 relief appropriation. ■ j Washington, Dec. 12. —(U.R) —'Re-; publican senate leaders have served on President Hoover a friendly; ultimatum in reply to his sharp ci mplaint against relief proposals that were not in keeping with his ■ own suggestions. News of the leaders’ action leaked out at the capitol and Majority Leader Watson confirmed that a Im et ng had taken place. It ini volved a telephone call to Mr. | He over .at the White House. “We talked very frankly and ful-l ly,” Watson said. “We were ini good humor and the president was in good humor. There were no. sparks flying." Nevertheless, it was learned that epublicans decided in their in- ’ formal strategy meeting to survey■ I the relief situation carefully to de- ■ termine whether the $60,000,000 ; 000 appropriated fcr drought re‘ll’ef and the $110,000,000 or $115,•’OOO,OOO tor unemployment would ' provide sufficient relief. Mr. I Hoover already has condemned the I I drought appropriation as too large I and accused its sponsors of “play- ' lug politics with human misery." 1 The conferees decided that if • 'these sums appeared to be sufficient they would stands with Mr. Hoover cn his recommendations. But if additional funds appear to be needed, -senate republicans apparently will be in favor of voting them despite the president’s warning. . I Th re apparently was consider- . able insistence that republican sen i ators would like some warning in l th? future regarding plans for i White House statements so harshly criticftl/of congressional plans, i so that some defens? of the presi- • dent might be made against demoI cratlc attacks, if the republicans I deemed a defense necessary. i

I The it neral policy was laid down for republicans that they should strive to prevent a special session i on the grounds that nothing could ’be more detrimeli.nl to the country. In this connection it was ugned republican* probably would ) b” wasting valuable time to at- ■ tempt tn dlHcouruge with replies I the apparently undiminished disposition of democrats to criticize i the president. The conferem-’ coincided w.th a i savagely humorous sp ech by Sen- • ator Harrison, Dent. Miss., In which he ridiculed a project to ad- ■ veitise In the daily press a letter addiess d to Mr. Hoover in which contributors mid signers would "express our de P gratitude for ' what you have accomplished during the past year ami to assure you that you w 11 have tn the continuation of year policies of readjustment the unqualifi d support of all Americans, who, regardless of party or sp dal interests, have the nation's prosperity at heart. o North Carolina Senator Dies In Washington Washington, Dec. 12.- -(U.PJ —I*® S ates Overman.
