Sinclair of Minneapolis, former vice-chairman of the national re covery review board, asserts the group has been unfair In Its operations.

At the seme time he submitted a minority report of the board, which brought out his differences with Clarence Dar row, noted Chicago criminal lawyer, who Is chairman of the body. "Never In my 25 years of experience In researches and investigations," he continued, "have I witnessed such utter disregard for fair play or the basic facts as the national recovery review board under Clarence Da r row has shown, even in Its open hearings, Such an attitude at a time like this la nothing short of tragedy."

' RETURN OF PETE IF When Pete Beloaetro tangles with Paul Murdock In the main event of next Thursday night's mat card at the Armory, fans will be handed one of the meatiest dishes or wrestling which has been served yet this season. The belligerent Belcaatro, fresh from a honeymoon-barnstorm tng tour of old Mexico, where he added several new scalps to his rapidly mounting list. Is always a sure-fire attraction to Promoter Mack Llllard's weekly menu of matches, and Thursday's en gagement will be no exception. It will be Belcastro's first appearance here In some time, and brings to the front both a bevy of supporters and ill-admirers, who nevertheless will turn out en masse to see him pit his rough-and-tumble tactics against the more easy-going but crunching mat work of the beefy Murdock. Navajo Indian Chtaf Little Wolf of Nevada will battle Bunny Martin, who stayed with Murdock last Thursday In a draw, in the semi-final, and Pro moter LI Hard la looking around for a man he can put In the ring with Swede Anderson, local fire boy, to wind up the evening's performance. Murdock, who halls from Oklahoma, won admirers galore when he battled Billy Edwards recentry, and has galaxy of fans who would like to see him smear the big Belcaatro on the canvas. Opinion is about evenly di vided as to whether or not he can do It. If he uses his customary clean technique, the scramble will be an exact contrast, as compared with the burly Belcastro's rough treatment. Martin, who has plenty of speed to match the wily Little Wolf, also won a good host of fans with his work last Thursday, and the semi-final should be a big drawing card In Itself. Swede Anderson has tempor arily balked Promoter Llllard In re gard to finding a suitable opponent, but will dish out his usual ahow of hard wrestling to whomever gets In the ring with him. the Riverside Baptist church (The Rockefeller Church") told a seminar on war last night. Rather than sanction another war, directly or Indirectly, I'll see you In prison first," the minister said after 35 of the 36 persons at another seminar had voted to refuse to serve Jn the event of luture armed con flict. Dr. Fosdlck reproached himself for having counselled and exhorted sol diers before they went "over the top on their murderous and suicidal tasks" In France. For what he had done as a chap- lalnrance, he said, he had "an ac count to settle wlth the unknown soldier." He made his renunciation of war, he stated, in "penitent repar ation" to the unknown dead of the world war. Men who write martial music and poetry glorifying war do so, he thought, because they never have seen war or know Its horrors. "General Sherman came nearer the truth than these war glorlfters when he said 'War is hell. " the minister added. AS ZERO HOUR NEAR NEW YORK, May 9. (AP) The Rev.
