SCHMELING AND JOE LOUIS TO FIGHT JUNE 22 C hampionship Fight Date Set; Location Not Established New York. March 19 (U.R) Promoter Mike Jacobs, alarmed by the European political situation, announced unexpectedly last night that the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling heavyweight title fight would be held on June 22, "somewhere in the United States." Immediately after the announcement Jacobs cabled Schmeling in Berlin, warning him that he must be in New York 40 days before June 22. Otherwise Maxie will be ruled out as challenger and a substitute will be named. "1 don’t like the way things are . shaping up in central Europe."; Jacobs explained to reporters. “If war or threat of war should pre-i vent Schmeling from leaving Ger many in time to train properly for : this fight. I'm not going to be the fall guy. I don't want any last-1 minute waiting around for him to' arrive, or any last-minute postponement. Schmeling must bo in this | country by May 1.3. or he won't fight." Jacobs emphasized that the "fair , warning" also covered any possi bility of Schmeling's being injured in his tune-up bout with Steve Dudas of Brooklyn at Hamburg on April 16. The promoter said, "if for any reason Schmeling is not here by May 1,3 and ready to start ' training. I will substitute Maxie i Baer against Louis." Jacobs refused to indicate what city would be the site for the bout I However. June 22 makes it possible for Yankee stadium to be the site, as the Yanks are playing at Cleveland on that date. It would seem I to rule out Detroit, because the' Boston Red Sox will be playing at Navin field. Meanwhile many I boxing writers believe the bout i will be staged at Chicago's Soldier j Field because of the anti Nazi boy j cott in New York. Schmeling's manager. Joe Jacobs. assured Promoter Mike that he would have the challenger on ' American soiljong before May 13. ' He said Schmeling will arrive in i New York on April 29. Joe will sail for Hamburg on April 2. immediately after attending the Louis-Harry Thomas bout at Chicago on April 1. He will be in Schmeling's corner for the Dudas fight. o Moscow to Build 60 Schools Moscow.-flj.Py-Sixty new schools, each of which is designed to accommodate 880 pupils, will be built in Moscow in 1935, it has been announced.

Even while it waited for LithI uania's reply, the government introduced in parliament, with a request for speedy passage, a bill legalizing the removal of citizenship status for certain categories lof citizens. The bill was motivat I ed by the fact that 30.000 Jewish 1 people in Austria enjoy Polish citizenship even though some of them never really lived here, and that many are now eager to come to Poland because of the Nazi accession to power It was indicative of Polish confidence that Lithuania would accept the ultimatum that Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz. inspector general of the army and strong man of the country, returned to Warsaw last night from the Vilna area. When news of the Polish ultimatum was first made public, it ' was understood that several demands were made —not only for immediate restoration of diplomatic relations but for normalization of all communications and for alteration of the Lithuanian constitution insofar as it specifies that Vilna is the real capital of Lithuania.

By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International lllu.tratrd New. Writer NEW YORK—Revival of the methods of slapstick movie making so popular in the early days of the cinema calls attention to the evolution of the art and the fate of those who were associated with Mack Sennett when pie-throwing and such antics were at their height. During the past three or four months there has been a marked trend toward the broad comedy which characterized the early attempts of Hollywood to make the great American public laugh. The success of several recent movies which resorted to horseplay inspired producers to carry on the experiment. Sennett Blazed Trail As a result there have been a succession of such efforts, including the popular "Topper" with Constance Bennett, the series starring Myrna Loy and William Powell, "Bringing Up Baby", "Merrily We Roll Along" and others which de--1 ' pend for their humor on violence and slapstick situations. | This might be due to a psycho-

logical reaction to the depression. It might be that the movie fan is less concerned with the artistic than with having a chance to have a good laugh and forget his troubles. Many of the rough-and-tumble tricks which were brought to the fore by Mack Sennett and his crowd in the old days still hold good. They may be presented today in modified form or be given a more civilized veneer, but the same elements are present. The oiiase down the street, the chair which breaks down, the custard pie —1938 style—all these are still as sound as gags as they were 20 years ago. But to return to the Sennett troupe of two decades and more ago. Among those who were members were Charlie Chaplin. Slim Summerville. Laurel and Hardy, Louise Fazenda, and Harold Lloyd. These are the ones who have survived the years and are still in the limelight to a greater or lesser degree. Lloyd, since Chaplin's future efforts will probably be restricted to directing, if anything, rates as top boxoffice among the group. The others are all still
