ARLINGTON BOXING CODE IS PLANNED Conflicting Interests ~ Will Meet With State’s Attorney to Draft Ordinance. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., July 5—The conflicting boxing interests will meet tomorrow night with Commonwealth’s Attorney Lawrence W. Douglas in an attempt to reach an agreement upon an ordinance that will be presented to the County Board to have amateur boxing legal- ized in the county. Passage of a local ordinance permitting boxing was au- thorized by the last General Assembly. Fort Myer Gets Permit. ‘The board has already had three ap- plications for permission to sponsor boxing bouts. The first was from the authorities at Fort Myer and was im- mediately granted, the board believing that it would have no right to prohibit boxing there anyway. ‘Tentative approval of an application by Arlington Post, No. 139, American Legion, was given prior to the date upon which the State law went into effect, but before an opportunity had been given to pass the necessary ordi- nance an application was filed by offi- clals of the Washington-Hoover Air- port for a permit to conduct open-air bouts at Hoover Fleld. The latter will contend that it was not the purpose of the State law that any discrimination should be shown when the ordinance is passed. Permits Four-Round Bouts. The act permitting bouts of not more than four rounds of three minutes each between any two combatants provides that the local governing bodies may pass such regulations as it deems neces- sary, including the formation of a box- ing’ commission. Following tomorrow night's parley, Douglas will draw an ordinance for submission to the board at a special meeting, to be held Friday night. RESERVES OF OIL FACE EXHAUSTION Production Official Warns Waste in Speech at Charlottesville. of By the Assoclated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 5.— The United States will be the first country in the world to exhaust its petroleum reserves unless the present waste in production and consumption is curbed, C. B. Ames, vice president of an oil company, told the Sixth An- nual Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Virginia today. Addressing the round-table confer- ence on anti-trust laws, Mr. Ames urged Federal legislation permitting the oil industry to determine in ad- vance the legality of trade conferences and agreements on conservation of the crude supply and moderation of mar- keting and consumption methods. Two billion cubic feet of natural gas was blown into the air dally in 1931, while only one billlon was used by domestic consumers, ne said. This waste in production and consumption is traceable, he continued, to lack of workable legislation. Difference of opinion among ofl men on the legality of limiting production has thwarted such a course of action. “The remedy,” he said, “is to remove this difficulty by providing administrative machinery which can function in advance. When the Federal Ofl Conservation Board forecasts demand and supply the in- dustry should be free to conform its operations by agreement, 50 8s to bal- ance production with consumption. In support of his arguments, Mr. | Ames quotes Robert P. Lamont, Secre- tary of Commerce, &s saying that about 80 per cent of the horsepower of all prime movers in the country, fixed and automotive, is generated by ol and its products. Public utility development in Latin America during the past decade was described today by James S. Carson of the American & Foreign Power Co. Inc, of New York, before the Latin American relations round table of the Institute of Public Affairs at the Uni- versity of Virginia “Latin America has gone ahead fur- ther in the past 10 years than she did in the 100 just preceding,” the speaker “A blighting provincialism which for a century and a half was a brake on progress is being slowly thawed out; | the relationship between master and servant, capital and labor, is being pro- ° | foundly changed; even nature herself is feeling the push of these relentless in- vaders and regions long unlivable for man and being forced slowly to yleld.” “Pre-Seminary Training for the Rural Ministry” was discussed before the rural! | minstry round table conference by John | H. Refsner, executive secretary of the| Agricultural Missons Foundation of York. { A PR ROOSEVELT RAISES AIDE Personal Protector to Become State Director of Prison Guards. ALBANY, N.
