O - o Today's Sports Parade i By Oscar Fraley Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O o New York. Oct. 17 — (UP) — Tenderly rubbing his newest asmid inent of wrestling bumps and bruises. Jumpin' Joe Savoldl consoled himself today with the knowledge that football for a living would be a much tougher business. Joe should know. For the guy with the bulky shoulders was the All-American fullback on Knu’e Kocknes last Notre Dame teain, an honor he earned in 1929 and 1930 while providing the power for the famed backfield which included Frank Carideo, Marchle Schwartz and Marty Brill. Yet Joe's outlook Is a bit hard to understand. Because In three years as the Fighting Irish block buster, Savoldl never suffered a serious injury. But after almost 14 years of wrestling, he has a collection of mended tibia and fibula. calbiused clavicle, ktdttpd knees and watered eliiows that would outfit several football teams. "Still, football Is a tougher game in which to compete,” Joe explained as he eased his powerful frame onto a bed to the accompaniment of screeching springs. ''Although I must admit that this wrestling game is no pastime for underprivileged citizens."

What irks Joe is that most people consider wrestling an out and out phony. "I ll admit It's a show. Just like any other professional promotion.” j he said. "But it hurts to hear the. people give with a raspberry and >h»n find out the wrestler has suffered a broken back or is dead — which has happened In several cases. You take a chance every time you walk inside those ropes. I'll tell you.” Joe, who made the flying dropkick famous. Isn't going to hang around until he becomes one of those one-way ambulance cases. "I’ll soon be 87 and have had more than 2.000 matches,” he explained, "so next year or the year after that I'm going to hang 'em up for good." Financially, Joe won't have to worry. The dark-haired fellow with the pretty wife and 11-year-old son has a beautiful home at Harbert, Mich., and is preparing to go into some line of business. But whatever he has, Savoldl earned 'he hard way. Married while still in school, he played six games with the Chicago Bears before the great Sandow and Ed (Strangler) Lewis induced him to try wrestling. He's been at it ever since except for 18 months he served in Italy with army intelligence. Returning last November, Joe went back to wrestling. One of the first things he did this fall waa see hie alma mater play, and a shining light enters his dark eyes when he talks of the South Bend school. His greatest memory is beating Georgia Tech. 7-0, la 1929—battering over from the eight-yard lino in tour trios. After that comes tne game In which Brill, a blocking back, scored four touchdowns in beating Pennsylvania, 60-20, la 19W.

Brill was the guy Penn didn't want on its freshman team three years before. His Idol, of course, is the Rock—"a grand fellow." peculiarly enough, this burly football and wrestling star wants his son to be a professional baseball player. Joe ill is 11 and a student at Howe Military academy. near Elkhart, Ind.—“and you should see his fast ball." "I'd like him to go to Notre Dame and play football,” dreams Joe, "but no professional foo'bail or wrestling. It's too rough." The guy should know. H S.

Orders Japs To Keep Hands Off Film Industry Directive Latest MacArthur Order To Free Japanese Tokyo, Oct. 17— (UP) G« n - Douglas MacArthur tonight ordered the Japanese government to keep hands off the film industry and "permit it to reflect the democratic aspirations of the Japanese people.'* MacArthur's film directive was the latest in a series of orders freeing the Japanese people from totalitarian ''thought control." It came shortly after the Japanese cabinet abolished the religious organization control law In compliance with MacArthur's demand for religious freedom In Japan. It was not Immediately clear whether the Japanese cabinet's action would have the effect of abolishing state Shintoism, by which the Japanese people are compelled to recognize Emperor Hirohito as the divine “son of heaven." But today's directive by the supreme commander was explicit. It ordered the Japanese government to repeal laws which had given them power over the manufacture and exhibiting of films by the Cinema industry. The laws had given lhe government police control over personnel and financial policies of the Japanese movie makers. They also had given police control over the proportion of foreign-made and Japanese films to be exhibited. The order was described as the first step toward making the film industry entirely ''self-policing." While the cabinet was hewing to Mac-Arthur's line, an American search party unearthed a cache of silver bars worth 11,100,000 presumably bidden away by Japanese militarists for future use. It was found beneath an abandoned navy machine shop on the shores of Tokyo bay.

Higher Labor Pay Vital To Economy Reconversion Head Snvder In Warninq New Haven. Conn., Oct. 17 — (UPi —Reconversion director John W. Snyder warned today that the entire national economy wiii suffer it labor does not get "more money” to assure a high standard of living. He did not propose any specific amount of wage increases. But he told a group of Connecticut manufacturers that a large seg ment of labor had undergone pay cuts of 23 percent since V J day. Many big labor groups are now demanding 30 percent increases. In his second major speech la two days on postwar wage policies, Snyder pointed out that wartime prices remain unchanged while thousands of workers, through loss of overtime, were taking home 23 percent less money than they did during the war. "The take-home price of the essentisls of life stays high; the workers* takehome pay has fallen." he said.

"Squeezed in that vise, the j worker can do only two things: | either be gets more money or he ' has to reduce hls standard of liv-! ing. With a reduced standard of living. he will buy le„, the purchasing power of the market will suffer — and msuufa.iurers will feel it ultimately in reduced orders. Our economy Is so closely Interlocking that no angaeet c»s suffer for long Wnhout the rest of us feellug the ph* '< On the other hand after warned that pay raises ssuU be judged by "ihe common-sense question, bow much of an increase can the individual company afford and still stay In business!" "If a company cannot stay in business," he said, "obviously it cannot continue to employ workers." He said the government would have to watch the entire wageprice structure carefully to guard against inflation. Convicted Murderer Given Life Sentence Indianapolis, Oct. 17— (UP) — James W.
