Inside Indianapolis

By LE. Sovola

THERE are several ways to | enjoy boxing matches and all“conventional methods have been trjed——radio, bleacher seats, TV and md%t reently, ahd a bit unconventionally, under the ring. Re latter ‘way is not satisfactory. Take my word for it. On a number of occasions, readers have gleefully written in and said they also counted the letters of the alphabet in a can of soup, tried walking up.a down escalator, tested a ballpoint pen underwater. Some stunts and situations can be recommended. This one isn't. You lose a lot of the fight color under a ring. In fact, until your eyes get accustomed to the lack of light, a man has to operate by touch. My shins still retain cable marks. : “bd THIS Thursday, when the semifinal matches of the Indianapolis Golden Gloves go ‘on, I'm going to be out in front and standing upright when the Star Spangled Banner is played. Under the ring you have to kneel. Incidentally, it’s the first time in my life that stars floated, rockets glared and Roman candles exploded while our National Anthem was played. I should have crawled under the ring after the Anthem. It’s one of those things. You want to be settled when the matches begin So you crawl into position early. I was leaning against a wooden horse, rubbing my shins when the announcer gave the signal for the National Anthem. o> <& oo FIGHT FANS in the Armory rose in unison.

It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Jan. 20—There's a little guy around our street whom we'll deeply miss if he ever goes away. Jimmy Savo lives in a world of smiles—although five years ago they cut his leg off. The relatives came to the hospital that morning. Jimmy, a nationally known comedian, who'd always worked matinees and nights, sat up in bed, and softly chuckled, “Oh, so we're doing a morning show today?” A woman in the hospital resisted surgery— till next day when she heard Jimmy singing in bed. “Why are you Hmping?” they often ask him at his shows for amps. (He never mentions he's one himself). “I sprained my ankle.” He smiles at the joke —on him. “Would you like to make $75,000 in one day?” a man asked Jimmy once. He put up $25,000—then worth about $100,000 in Italy—and found himself owning farms outside. Rome. The farmers were so poor, Jimmy told them to keep the half share due him, till things got better, o & &

JIMMY doesn’t tell his age. He was with Fred Allen in '24 and Jack Benny's “assistant window dresser” in the Vanities of 30. In that show, Jack was disrobing a mannequin. Jimmy spoke up: “That reminds me of a trip I once took to Niagara Falls.” Police closed the show. The trial judge asked Jimmy what he meant. “I do pantomime, this is my first speaking part. IT don’t know what it means,” replied Jimmy. “Casé dismissed,” said his honor.

JIMMY'S worked all over our nation, but he's doing his greatest show at the plush Persian Room of the Hotel Plaza—which he remembers standing outside at 9, trying to sell puppies, .and being glad he couldn't, because he liked them too much.

“The amputation was a good thing—I work better now,” he says. He stands at the. mike, fliittering his fingers, rolling his eyes. “D'you know why a rabbit always has a shiny nose? Because he has his powder puff in the rear,” he tells them. Jimmy handed me a lollypop as we we left the Lambs Club the other day. He carries a pocketful of these smile-makers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—=The last time I went through the biggest “country” in the |world— Texas—men were men and women were happy about it, and the Chambers of Commerce were noisy in their main job—thumping tubs. That was before I said, in a loose moment,

that the tune “Eyes of Texas” is a theft from ‘I've Beén WorkingOn the Railroad.” Something must have happened to the Chamters of Commerce. And the. Washington Board of Trade is no iittle exercised about same. The B. O. T. had planned a colossal hoedown for its annual mid-winter meeting this week-end and chose as {ts theme “Texas Frontier ¥rolies.” Board member Lou Brott thought it would be no trouble at all to get a bunch of Texas exhibits for the shindig.

MR. BROTT spoke to the Junfor Chamber of Commerce here and suggested that letters be sent to the C. of C.’s in 10 of the biggest towns in Texas. The letters were sent. What Mr. Brott had in mind was to fill the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel with Texans, plus displays of boots, saddles, and some relics of the old west which abound in every town in-the Lone Star State. Plus a lot. of publicity for Texas. Mr. Brott has, as of today, head under wing. 8o far only Galveston and San Antonio have responded.

FAST FOOTWORK is” accompanied by loud cries from the fans. The thing that amazes me is the heavy, solid steps the fighters take. Under the ring you would think the boxers were stomping on walnuts. Movements aren’t cat-like by any means. The 20 second battle between two Bland's Gym boys, Reginald Sweeney and Ross McCain, was a shocker. Right after the bell sounded I thought the boys started running around the ring. In a few seconds the steps became heavier and methodical. Suddenly there was a soft thud and the flooring creaked slightly. The crowd was trying to raise the roof. I wondered when the heavier toys stepped onthe canvas to earn the right to box Thursday, how horses would sound in the ring. Whoever built the ring did a good job. Flooring may sag and creak and sound as if it's falling apart, but the ring holds together,

IN THE FUTURE footwork is going to be given more attention. The heavy thumps seem to indicate that boxers would make good grape squashers in wineries. I mean if a guy can't make his effort pay off in a ring, he could try a barrel. No use denying that it’s an interesting experi= ence to be under the ring. You ought to be told, too, that a foolish feeling creeps over you periodically. What would you say if someone asked what you were doing under” the ring? Watching the fight? Hearing the fight? Don’t do it unless you have a hole in the floor to crawl in should the skirt of the ring be lifted and a voice asks, “Hey, what wre you doing under there?” Can’t buy peanuts under the ring, either.

Vianicithe Greatest: 1635 Died With Her

By WILLIAM H. RUDY

Times Special Writer

ONLY ONE who has seen the long

winter sea, the white spits of foam streaking the iridescent black surface, can know the real power of the sea. Theg fishermen—the fishermen who have to go out

because it is their living—know it. There are sea captains who know 'it.- And there are mates and second asand ABs and oilers and ordinaries,

it, for they ship out not because they like it but because they wouldn't be anywhere else. Man has been battling the sea a long time. He has had to fight it, for when he is on it he is out of his element. Long before the Viking he was battling it, and Capt. Henrik Kurt Carlsen and the Flying Enterprise are only a heroic incident in: the story that is bound to continue until man is at home on. the sea just as he is on land.

z = 2 % THE SEA is the most powerful force on earth. But every now and then the men who go to sea forget it, and the sea has to remind them again.

There must be an inverse ratio .

between a man’s awareness of the sea and the bulk and stability of the vessel he is on. The most dramatic sea disaster of our time—the death of the .Titanic—occurred on a sea smooth as oilskin and in a crowded shipping lane. Man had relaxed his vigilance and no typhoon, no sudden change of weather bringing mountainous seas, was needed to bring the lesson home. It will be just 40 years: next month that’ the Titanic slid down the ways in Belfast. She

. was everything builders thought

a ship should be. Her designer, Lord Pirie, knew what the sea could do.

= s 8 THE blueprints called for a liner 8821; feet long. The Queen Elizabeth today is 9871; feet, and if the Titanic were afloat she still would be the fourth largest in the world. The blueprints called for compartmenting uniprecedented at the time. It is not hard to see

why the White Star Line called her; “unsinkable.” The departure of the Titanic from Southampton on Apr. 10, 1912, can be compared only with the gala sailing during the 1930s of a ‘French Line or Cunard White Star flagship. Those were pre-war days, too. There was no enemy awaiting except .the North Atlantic itself. " " o FOUR and one-half days later the Titanic was cutting an icy, black sea south of the Great Circle route for New York. She was at 41 degrees, 46 minutes North—almost exactly the latitude of New York City—and 50 degrees, 14 minutes West, south by east of Newfoundlapd Wireless was a comparatively new thing aboard ship and its range was limited. But that day the Titanic had received messages from the Baltic, the Caronia and the California that field ice had been sighted. Aboard the Tintanic the thought was more of the North Atlantic Blue Ribbon, symbolic of the fastest crossing, than it was, of polar ice fields. The engine room telegraph remained at full speed. 2 2 n IT IS easy today .to wonder why. But on Sunday, Apr. 14, 1912, aboard the world's biggest and safest liner, sailing calm and well-traveled seas, danger seemed far away. Even a wireless message at 5 p. m. that huge bergs were In the vicinity brought no change of speed or course. It happened at 11:45 p. m.

‘Ten minutes earlier the AB in

the crow’s nest had phoned the bridge to say he had sighted the gray bulk of icebergs ahead. The phone was not answered. Many of the 2340 persons aboard were asleep, but the dining saloons and lounges on the liner’s 11 decks were crowded as the Titanic's prow knifed into a projecting under-

STALIN'S ‘MEIN KAMPF'—NO. 2—

In 1923 Reds Told How China Would Fall

By DAVID SNELL Scripps-Howard Staff Writer LATE in December, . 1945, Gen. George C. Marshall went to China as the State Department's specldl envoy. His mission: To persuade the Kuomingtang to join the Chinese Communists in a coalition government. Chiang Kai-shek, who burned his fingers in the 1920's playing with such a coalition, wouldn't buy it. The mission was a failure. Nevertheless, Gén. Marshall got an “A” for effort, in the form of an appointment as Secretary of State. Chiang got the rug pulled from under him. The General slapped an em= bargo on a shipment of arms to Nationalist China in the crucial period of 1946 and 1947— just when Chiang was licking

the pants off the Communists. .

us = »

NOW about that coalition;

did Gen. Marshall know that Stalin, 18 years earlier, had explained how a CommunistKuomingtang coalition could only further the Chinese revolution? Stalin wrote: “The masses must be mobilized around the Kuomingtang and the Chinese Communist ‘Party . . . Temporary blocs and agreements with the burgeoisie . at a certain stage of the colonial revolution are not only permissible, but definitely necessary.” As far back as 1923, in ac-

cordance with a mandate of the _ the ' Chinese Com-,

Comintern, munists began planning to seize the state machinery easily and. painlessly through a coalition with the Kuomingtang. A “united front,” Red-style, was welded in September of

"that ‘year when the Kremlin

“sent Michael Borodin to Canton

- to become principal adviser to

the Kuomingtang and its founder, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Trumpeting the now-familiar theme of nationalism, the coal{tion was able to assume lead-. ership of the .revolutionary "forces that ‘were stirring in * China. wit Z

BUT the” Comm ists overplayed their hand. hand. Under the

influence of the ultra-left Leon Trotsky, the Chinese Communists demanded in 1927 a

majority control of the Kuom-,

ingtang. , Chiang, who had assumed leadership upon the ‘death of Dr. Sun, saw the light. Realizing the sinister purpose behind the Communist ‘“‘co-operation,” Chiang dissolved the coalition and purged the Communists.

‘Borodin fled to Russia.

It was then that Stalin read the riot act to the Comintern. Trotsky was ousted from the party in November, 1927, and his ultra-left, impatient policy was liquidated. But the damage had. been been done. The Communist cause in China was all

* but Wrecked.

u SPEAKING for * Statin, the Ukrainian Communist Dimitri Manuilsky analyzed the China defeat for the Comintern. He made it clear that if the opportunity to win in CRina via a coalition ever came again the Communists would know how to utilize it. " “We are a world party which does not close its eyes to its own weaknesses and mistakes,” Manuilsky declared. That was in 1927. Eighteen years later Gen. Marshall sought, unwittingly, to provide the Chinese Communists a second chance to complete their revolution without firing a shot. And because Chiang said “no” we shut off his supply of arms. Last June Secretary of State Dean Acheson told the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees that one objective of the Marshall mis-, sion was to bring about “a

military reorganization and the integration of the Communist forces into the Na-

tional government.” : n ” L 2

DID EITHER Mr. Acheson or Gen. Marshall know that, 18. years before the General went to China, Stalin had planned just such an integration? Stalin wrote: “The work of . .. Communist

An icy saw ripped down her starboard flank, opening a gap 10 feet below the waterline.

2 a 2 LATER it was estimated this gash was 300 feet long. No one

knew, for the sea had caught

man napping, and by that time the- Titanic was at the bottom with its 1635 dead. THRere was little panic after

that first jarring impact. The bearded master, Capt. E. J.. Smith, veteran. of 43 years

under sail and steam, sent the ship’s carpenter below to see the damage. The black gang knew the danger—water was pouring into the stokers’ quarters; but the sleeping passengers above and the passengers in eveing dress were undisturbed. Capt. Smith went to the radio shack and told Chief Operator J. G. Phillips to send no message until he had heard from the carpenter. The Old Man was back in 10 minutes with word that things looked bad. = ” s THE international stand-by signal — CQD, CQD — cracked out from the wireless room, followed by the new distress signal

EDITOR'S NOTE: As Hitler revealed in “Mein Kampf” his blueprint for conquest, Joseph Stalin revealed in his unexpurgated “Marxism and the National and Colonial Question” his plan for the defeat of the West and the establishment of world com‘munism. In this series of articles, reporter David Snell analyzes the foreign policy of the Soviet Union in, the light of Stalin's own “writings. Little known in the United States, Stalin's “Marxism and the National and Colonial Question” was brought

to the attention of the acripps-Howard Newspapers “by Alice Widener of New

York as a public service.

“This is fundamental for the success, of the revolution. , . . This is fundamental for the creation of a big and powerful

political and military army against imperialism and its agents. . . . Work must be in-

tensified in the rear and within the divisions of Chiang Kalishek in order to disintegrate them. ..."” In 1945, pursuant .to the Yalta’ the Soviet: Union signed a treaty with- Nationalist China, promising to support it fully and give. no aid to the Chinese Communist armies. The then Secretary of State James

F. Byrnes fairly bubbled over .

with joy. He hailed the treaty as “an important step forward”

"and launched the Marshall mis-

sion on the unquestioning as-

. sumption that the treaty would

Three years earlier it had saved lives when the Republic sank after a collision off Nantucket Lightship. Nearly two and one-half hours passed before the Titanic went down. Two hours and a half should have been ample in a calm sea for the passengers and crew to have abandoned ship. But two factors, not common to most disasters at sea, worked against it. First was the belfef that the ship, the world’s largest and finest and on her maiden voyage, could not sink, Many passengers refused to be

alarmed. ” tJ » ” AND SECOND, *here was the calm, black, icy sea, which had seemed so free of danger but: which now suddenly appeared far more forbidding than the warm, lighted ship, however, much she began to list.

Kennan, - the newly appointed Ambassador to Moscow, at a closed State Department conference - on foreign policy held in October, 1949. Mr. Kennan said: “I remember Stalin one time snorting rather contemptuously and vigorously because one of our people asked them. what they were going to give to China when this

“He sa ‘We have a hundred cities of our own to build in the Soviet Far East. If anybody is going to give anything to the Far East, I think it's you.” And I think he was speaking quite sincerely.” “ » =

MR. KENNAN was the author of the celebrated article entitled “The Sources of Soviet Conduct,” which appeared in the -magazine Foreign Affairs tn 1947 under the signature of Mr. “X.” This article defined and staked out our policy of “contaihment” of communism. By now it appears the, West has fallen behind in its reading of Communist literature. Stalin’s plan for China and the world are set forth in his unexpurgated “Marxism and the National and Colonial Question,” and in the book ‘China

. in Revolt.”

Published in 1927, these books

are today the Bible and blue-

print of the most ruthless and efficient foreign policy ever devised.

ALSO true to the law of the sea was Capt. Smith. He still was on the bridge as the stern rose higher and higher, the screw towering above the tiny lifeboats. Some said the ship's band was playing “Nearer My God to Thee” shortly before the Titanic’'s bow, at 2:22 a. m, plunged, her stern shot vertical, and she slid prow first into the depths, > The story best remembered by survivors, and most often told, was of Mrs. Isidor Straus, who refused a place in a lifeboat to remain with her husband. And there was John Jacob Astor, who helped his wife into a boat, then stepped back aboard the liner. There was also J. Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, who was among those saved, and Lord and Lady Duff-Gordon. Rescued by the crew of the Carpathia, they were able to appear shortly in a fresh change of clothes. Their baggage had been saved with them.

” » ” THE CARPATHIA was the first to the rescue. She picked up 16 lifeboats, some overcrowded, others half-filled, and a few other survivors from floating wreckage. There were 705 survivors in all when the Carpathia. steamed for New York. It was not until the night of Thursday, Apr. 18, nearly four © days after the disaster, that crowds pressing the White Star offices at Bowling Green knew the worst.

ways, since Stalin laid it out in 1927, its direction was fixed by

the compass of strategy.

Because the State Depart--ment did not use Stalin's strategy as a point of reference for: its own compass, it was misled by tactics. In his Senate testimony Secretary Acheson summed up the confusion on China which existed in the department dur-e ing the crucial years 1944 through 1946:

“I could not see cletly as to what the outcome in China was going to be until , , , the dust settles.” Many years earlier, in his “Foundations of Leninism,” Stalin had written: = u 2 v “STRATEGY is the determination of the direction. (It) remains essentially un, changed. , . ®

“Tactics are a part of stratsubordinate and subservfent to it. Tactics change according to ebb and flow. , . .

“The whole point. of the matter is that the muddleheads da not understand the laws of advance. The whole point of the matter is that the (Communist) Party does understand them and carries them out in practice.” oe IN 1945, while Mr. Acheson was waiting for the dust to settle, the late James P. Forrestal, then Secretary of the Navy, was straining his eyes to see through the dust. - Tortured by realizations . that were (0 drive him to suicide, Secretary Forrestal tried to discover how much our. government really knew about basic Communist strategy. He sought to learn whether anybody had made . a comprehensive study of the ‘Russian state philosophy and the theoretical basis of Soviet foreign policy. In his diary, dated Jan. T, 1946, there is this entry: = " “There is no place in gove ernment where such a study has been 1ade-—at least I have
