MAX SCHMELING FIGHTS DUDAS German Is Heavy Favorite To Whip New Jersey Fighter Hamburg, Germany, April 16 — (UP) —Max Schmeling. who hopes to be the first man ever to regain the world’s heavyweight championship, was a prohibitive fatorite to defeat Steve Dudas. New Jersey veteran, tonight in his last tuneup fight 'before meeting Joe Louis in June. Only a half pound separated them when they weighed In last night. Dudas was the heavier, tipping the beam at 194’4. None of the fight critics expected Dudas to last longer than 12 of the scheduled 15 rounds, and the banner line of the one paper read: "Our tip—Schmeling by knockout within four rounds." Schmeling was not so optimistic. He refused to forecast a kayo but expressed confidence that he would win. Promoters expected a sell-out crowd of 23.000 in Hanseatic hall, preceding the Schmeling-Dudas go. Big Pen Foord of South Africa will tackle Walter Neusel. Foord stayed 12 rounds with Schmeling in January and caused the experts to won<ier whether Maxie’s hitting power was on the wane. Joe Jacobs. Schmeling’s American manager, predicted "Max will knock him out in eight rounds. I never saw him in better shape, and that’s eaying a lot because there never was a more faithful man in training.” Despite the general feeling that the American is just a chopping Hock for Max, Dudas was optimistic. His manager. Billy McCamey, who managed Schmeling from 1928 to 1933. said “Dudas is in tpi top physical condition. He can take it and he can dieh it out. I consider his chances better than Schmeling’s when Maxie beat Louis two years.” Tickets were scaled up to S4O and the fight is almost sure to cross $900,000. Dudae will get $15,000. tax free, as his share. His training and transportation expenses were paid in adition. Schmeling’s end will run around $50,000.

ADMITS ATTACK ON YOUNG GIRL Californian Confesses To Attack And Murder Os Young Girl Los Angeles, Apr. 16 <U.R) Two psychiatrists who extmimd Charles MclAchlan, confessed slayer of seven-year-old Jenny Moreno, announced today that he was a "sex maniac with a perverted mind." Dr. J. Paul Rivers and Dr. Benjamin Clark said, however, that the 55 year-old house painter was sane. McLachlan confessed that he crushed the girl’s head with a hammer because he "got excited" when ; she screamed In protest against | his advances. A murder chtTrge was tiled against him and the sheriff announced that the cash would go before the county grand jury Tuesday. X7c\achlan is the son of an Irish father ami Mexican mother, lie made his confession in Spanish to Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz. His lips were puffed and bleeding from a beating he suffered at the hands of a group of enraged neighbors led by the girl’s uncle. Mcl-achlan had known Jenny since she was a baby. He submitted the girl to indignities but did not ravish her, he said. "I got so scared I wobbled all over the floor," he said. “After 1 hit her the second time I covered her body with a blanket and some canvas.” He washed the handle of the hammer, cleaned up the blood from the floor and burned his bloodstained overalls. Then he went to town for whisky. Later while he was milking his goat the girl's grandmother came by and asked if he had seen Jenny. "I said I had not seen her," ho said. "But I got scared and decided to move the girl out of my house. About 9 o’clock I took her body out of the front door and threw her over the fence. I went through a hole in the fence and carried the body over to the weeds. I was so excited I intended to leave the body there." After returning to his shack McLachlan decided to burn the rest of the blood-stained clothes. Neighbors investigated and discovered the garments at about the same time that Jenny’s father shouted from a nearby lot that he had found her body in the weeds. NEW LENDING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) executive session next Wednesday An attempt will be made, he said. | to place all spendii V money for which Mr. Roosevelt asked in one omnibus bill, together with whatever legislative authorizations are necessary. He indicated, however, that this procedure depended on the ability of the house leadership to get a rule for consideration of legislative authorizations in such fashion. The relief spending program calls for $2,062,000,000. Taylor

The hounse has voted $51.500.000 to keep Hie civilian conservation corps at its present strength through next year and the senate appropriations committee has reported it favorably. The house will add a suggested additional $100,000,000 for roads to the agriculture supply bill next week Tile only part of the president's program which congressional leaders believed definitely could not lie put in an appropriation bill was the proposal to increase by $300.000.000 the authorization of the United States housing authority to provide for slum clearance projects. i; Administrator Nathan Strauss was said to have been disappointed in the amount the president recommended and to be lobbying privately for an increase of $500,000,000. The housing authority, originally scheduled to get a billion dollar i authorization, had this figure cut i in half by congress.

HUGE SHORTAGE j IS DISCLOSED Chicago Investment Firm Short More Than $700,000 Chicago. Apr. IG. tU.Rz An Investigator for the securities and exchange commission said today records of the Hoagland and Allum Company. Inc., a long established Investment firin, show a shortage of approximately $730,000. with a bank balance of less than SIOO. W. McNeil Kennedy, regional SEC administrator, said a preliminary inventory showed stocks and bonds for which investors paid $675,000 were missing and that money balances were short about $55,000. He said only 20 shares were left of one stock in which the company should have had 17,000 shares. Approximately 75 investors were affected by the cash. State's attorney were checking a story told by the firms three officers—a story of a desperate attempt to stave off bankruptcy by turning from the investment business to seek fabulous commissions as agents in international munitions deals. George F. Allum. 52, Wheaton. 111., president, said the transactions were to earn s67l.o<Ki. that they still were pending, and may yet save the investors' money. Olaf Larsen. 46. Evanston. 111, vicepresident. and Henry A. Engel. 42. secretary-treasurer, confirmed the story but said they knew little about the actual transactions. Eugene J. O’Connor, head of the fraudulent securities division, said the story was a "myth." and that correspondence on the deals was "faked" to impress potential customers with prospects of large aud quick profits. The brokers were charged with embezzlement and larceny and held in default of $200,000 bond each. The company is in receivership. Allum said the foreign munitions agents were mysterious men and that he had not had the chance to see them. ' But I talked aoout them with William Horn, the head of our New York office." he said. "There were four separate deals lined up.” There was one. he said, by which the brokers hoped to receive $271,000 for sale of 35,000 tons of sulphur to a French agency, to be used by China and France for munitions, another about sale of airplanes to Italy. "Who, specifically, was going to buy t*e planes?" O’Connor asked. "Why. Gen. Garibaldi, grandson of the Italian patriot,” Allum replied. "Garibaldi was exiled from Italy 15 years ago and since then has been in South America.” O’Connor said. "How could he buy planes for Italy, when he wasn’t on the continent?” "I don't exactly know that,” Allum said. Another deal, he said, concerned the sale of 500,000 rifles at sl6 each to a Chinese syndicate, but a British syndicate learned about it and offered to buy 1,000,000 rifles for $14.50 each. The deal] was pending when the raid came., he said. "But 1 suppose it will fall through when they hear about all this,” he said. Ohio Youth Is Given Suspended Sentence Angola, Ind..
