House Action Some House leaders are flat against taking the Senate’s NRA version as against the less dctalled‘ House resolution. The House could either accept the Senate resolution with the Borah amendment or refuse to ac- cept it and then send the resolu- tion to conference. Most persons on Capitol Hill agreed the latter action would tie up the resolution beyond June 16, the day NRA expires. “To Hell With K" Chairman O'Connor, of the House Rules Committee, told the news- en: “To Hell with them.

Braddock gets an opportunity to- (est fistic upsets of all time when he battles clouting Max Baer for | the heavyweight championship of the world at Long Island Bowl here. It is the first heavyweight titular engagement of the year. Braddock is on the short end of 5-to-1 odds that seemed certain to lengthen by fight time here. How- ever, nine out of every ten cus- tomers plan to cheer the underdog, although the prospect is that they will see him soundly whipped. Thirty-five thousand fans are ex- pected to see the fight. All the sporting experts expect that Braddock will have no more than ‘an outside chance of escap- ing an early knockout, even though his improvement and courage un- der intensive preparation have been considered. Braddock is 29 years of age, Baer 26. The challenger weighs 196, while Baer tips the scales at 210 pounds. Braddock has a height of 6 feet 3 inches. The champion stands 6 feet, 2% inches tall. Perhaps it may be a miracle for Braddock to win, but it has been done before by long shots in’ every sport. FIGHTERS WEIGH IN NEW YORK, June 13. — This afternoon the two men weighed in for tonight's fistic encounter. Baer tipped the scales at 209% pounds and Braddock 191% pounds. Both men are reported in good condition. Exchange “Greetings” A fist fight almost resulted in the weighing-in proceedings. I |him a ‘man of destiny, R CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER IN Baer ShedsTlayboy Guise| for Go with Solid-Citi- zen Braddock By JOHN STAHR (Ascociated Press Sports Writer) NEW YCrus, June i3.—So it's Playboy Max Baer versus Solid Citi- zen (Ex-Relief Roller) James Jay Braddock, for the world's heavy- weight championship in the Long Island bowl tonight, eh? Oh, no, it isn't! The first half of that billing is all wet, though the general public doesn’t know it, yet—and maybe never will. You'd never guess it from his pictures in the papers—or from the way he goes about the business of being champion, for that matter—but Maximilian Adel- bert Baer fancies himself some- thing of a student of psychology, and in the first defense of his title he swears he's going to be just a serfous young man trying to get along. You see, Max has it all figured out that public sympathy is going to be overwhelmingly on the side of his Family Man, depression-rid- den foeman tonight. So he put away his cap and bells costume, wiped the grin of his handsome face and decided to take this fight serjously if it kills him. As a matter of fact, Max can be a lot more serious than most of the boys who write the entertaining copy about his entertaining exploits have ever intimated. Of course, he is naturally a gay caballero, but consideration of all he’s got to lose —against the comparatively little he’s got to win—in the Braddock battle has sobered him plenty. Here’s His Problem “Look what I've got to buck,” he says, quite frankly. “A fighter who's riding the crest of a win streak that already has the boys calling the sym- Baer came in with a broad grin pathy of the public, which you and extended his hand: you feeling Jimmy?” Braddock brushed aside Baer's hand and replied curtly: “I don't talk to you. my*talking in the ring.” Nonpulsed, Braddock's manager rushed between the men and said: “So you are the guy that kills guys in the ring.

We don't want to listen to any campaign speeches from you.” I will do “How are know will be pulling for this de- | serving, struggling fellow with his family to support—and Madison ! Square Garden.

LABOR VIEWS EXPRESSED IN RADIO TALKS Both Workers Factions in’ Walkout Present Argu- ments Over KINY Opposing the iabor factions in current walkout of the Alaska Ju-! neau Gold Mining Company had their oratorical innings last night in brief speeches over radio station KINY. Neil Heard, Secretary of the Alaska Mine Workers' Union spoke for eight minutes at 8 o'clock. and Ted Danielsen, a member of the Workers' Benefit Committee, spoke for four minutes at 9:25 o'clock. Heard made little direct mention of the all-day voting taking place today, but he concluded his talk with a plea for “neutrality” from| persons not directly concerned with the walkout. He said the walkout “would have to run its course “The Union sounds a challenge to the pioneer fighting blood in citizens of this community. Why should Alaskan laborers be paid peon wages just because they are given them in the States?” Heard asked his radio audience. “This| has been a peaceful walkout and it is a fine compliment to the| union members that the situation| has remained quiet. However, uw recent incidents have tended to mar the peaceful course of the walkout. One was the City Coun-| cil's and the Mayor's action in sponsoring this vote. If violence follows, the city administration must take the blame. The other incident which has tended to upset the peaceful situation has been the hiring of gunmen, which is a company trap by which it hopes (Continued on Page Two) | Map shows location of Quetta, India, scene o( one of the most disastrous earthquakes in history, and plctures show results of recent tremors ln nearby Right ng Is Talkmg of Killing G.
