Fifteen World Records Set- Runners Garner Major Laurels in Competitions Indoor Marks Also Set BT JOSEPH L. MILLER WASHINGTON, (AP) President Roosevelt still faces a tremendous Job In bis attempt to rehabilitate the nation's business and Industrial ma chinery. As 1034 comes, to a close, govern ment figures show Industrial employ ment and payrolls are a great deal higher than when the president took office. Similar figures, as well ne re ports on dividends show business generally Is In a healthier condition. But, more than 17,000,000 persons still are dependent on relief for at least part of their food, clothing and shelter. The American Federation or Labor estimated that at the start of winter there were 10,671.000 unem ployed workers. 600.000 more than a year before. Future of NRA What should be done about NRA and relief? Those closely related nroblema are two of the principal new year's worries at the adminis tration's doorstep. The recovery act expires on June 18, 1935. What will replace it? What has been good and what bad about this recovery partisanship among business, labor and government? Can NRA be expected to ease the govern ment's relief burden that totaled more than one and one-quartr bll lion dollars In 1934? Is th present relief system good? How far can work relief supplant direct renew General Johnson Departs There was much tinkering with NRA during the past year. That tinkering, however, largely aiiecira administration. The hundreds of codes operated throughout the year essentially as framed. Hugh S. Johnson's departure, after a bitter battle over the Issue of whether private business should have a greater hand In code administra tion, was the high spot. Believing the Needy The stocky, outspoken former cav alry general who WAS NRA In its early stages, was replaced by an ad ministrative board headed by S. Clay Williams, tobacco executive. With a few exceptions, labor's fight to shorten Industry's working hours by code revision failed. ' The relief administration, headed by Harry L. Hopkins, did a gigantic Job of caring for the needy during the year. Figures toward the close of the year showed 4,200,000 families and 80,000 single persons on relief rolls. . - Change In A. F. of L. Policy About 1.800,000 men are on work relief. As fast as states and munici palities help with materials and sup plies, others are being transferred from direct to work relief rolls. A move toward a new method of organizing labor, and the labor rela tions board's opinions -on labor's rights, were the high spots of 1934 (or organized workmen. After years of fostering the de velopment of trade unionism, the American Federation of Labor In September approved the organiza tion of worklngmen In mass produc tion industries by Industry rather than by trade. The Impetus the recovery act's col lective bargaining guarantee gave un ionism brought the change In A. P. s T.. nollcv.

The representative chosen by the ma jority of a unit of employes, tt con tinued, should speak for all the em ployes. Thin rullnn was bitterly contested, and at the end of the year was head ing toward the supreme coun ior Una. decision. The federal government played an increasingly Important part In the dealings of employes with their em ployers. After the president asked for an industrial truce, early in the fall, the number of strikes fell off. Bank failures during 1934 reached a new low in 14 years, under the administrations new banking laws.

Starting with the big Indoor fix tures In New York In February, Glenn Cunningham, BUI Bonthron, Jack Torrance, Men Eastman and the rest fought It out among themselves for several months and then garbed on Europe, Asia and the Scandina vian countries for foreign laurels. The fifteen world records fell to Torrance on the shot put. one hand and both hands; Cunningham in the mile, Bonthron In the 1500 meters, Eastman in the 500 and 800 meters and 440, 600 and 880 yard distances, Ralph Metcalfe in the 000 and 200 meters, Normal Paul in the 220 yard low hurdle, Glenn Hordln In the 400 meter low hurdles, Percy Beard in 110 meter high hurdles and Walter Marty In the high Jump. BUI Graber's mar velous vault of 14 feet 4 inches, made in the 1932 Olympic tryouts but not presented then alao was accepted by the international body this year as the world mark. Indoors, Too! In addition to. these records several indoor world marks, a category not recognized internationally a Indoor meets are held only In America, were set during the year. Notable among these was Cunningham's 4:08.4 for the indoor mile, onlv 1.7 seconds behind hi outdoor record; Keith Brow- pole vault of 14 feet 4 Inches, and Walter Marty' high Jump of 6 feet 8i inches. A thrilling rivalry between Cun ningham and Bonthron was a fea ture of the year. The two great mid dle distance runners on the record the two best of all time met twice Indoors and three times out with Cunningham the victor In two races and Bonthron in three. The series started in the N. Y. A. C. indoor games where Bonthron won the mile by a stride. Cunningham came back a few days later to nip the Prlncetonlan In the national championship 1500 meter run, the finish being so close both were caught In the record time of 3:52.3. They next met in the invitation games at Princeton in June and here Cunningham won decisively in the world record time of 4:06.7, the mark which was-accepted by the Interna tional Federation. ' With the latter defeat as a spur. Bonthron flew west to whip Cunning ham by six yards in the National Col legiate mile In time of 4:08.9 and a week later at Milwauke In the na tional A. A. U. championships made one of the most thrilling stretch sprints In athletic history to heat Cunningham at the tape and dive the universal 1500 meter mark down to 3:48.8. Great Battle Bonthron also had the satisfaction during the year of finally defeating Jack Lovelock, whom he chased 1 to a then world mark for the mile of 4:07.8 In their first meeting at Prince ton In 1933. Lovelock again defeated him in the Princeton -Cornell Ox ford -Cambridge dual meet at London and again at Amsterdam shortly thereafter, but Bonthron finally caught him at Paris in a 1600 meter run and beat him decisively. Three groups selected from the winners and runners-up at Milwau kee toured foreign countries. Cun ningham and Metcalfe headed one group that went to Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines; Ivan Fuqua and Gene Venzke another that toured Germany, and Hardin, Eastman, Bon thron, Torrance and Beard the third that toured Sweden and Norway and then swung back through Belgium and France.- Many younger stais also came to the fore during the year. Among them is Jesse Owens, the fine negro sprinter and broad Jumper from Cleveland:. Ray Sears, of Butler, who ran two miles faster than any American ever had before 9 :07.4 George Anderson, of California, a sprinter; Paul, the low hurdler; Bob Clark, all-around star from Califor nia; Eulace Peacock, Temple's ebony flash, and other who probably will be heard from In 1935 and the year after in the Olympics. if V R ' . j ? , , ' ....

NEW YORK (AP) The stock mar ket in 1934 charted a narrow course conforming closely with the move ments of business. A broad trend was lacking. The market fluctuated . within definite limits, between the peaks of a, new year advance touched early In Feb ruary and the lows of late July. In Wall Street parlance, stocks re mained in the trading area marked out in the latter half of 1933, after the speculative boom touched off by the divorce of the dollar, from gold bad reached its climax. The February top approximated the highs of the 1933 upswing and the July lows virtually duplicated bottom prices on the decline in October, 1933. Relies On Business News. Minus the propelling force of dol lar depreciation, such as set In mo- tlon the 1933 upswing, the share market had to rely on business news for Its nourishment. A moderate spring advance In busl- I ness activity apparently had been discounted in advance by the Janu- 1 ary and early February rise In se curity prices For stocks moved hesi tantly through March and April, then 1 went Into a late spring decline as Wall Street sensed the coming sum mer let-down In trade and Industry. A creeping recovery started In mid September, following four of the dullest months of share trading In post-war wall Street history, and picked up momentum In November after the elections. It ran hand in hand with a slow autumn upturn in business. Federal Stork Control. Aside from an uninspiring trade background for a time, the stock market encountered something wholly new in Its history In the United States In the shape of federal con trol of security exchanges. While the effects or government regulation were being appraised. speculative sails were trimmed. Turn over through the summer months dropped to a dally average of fiOO,- 000 shares or so and did not expana appreciably until November. For the full year turnover In the stock exchange wsa only about half that of ,1933. It was the amallent, In fact, since 1924. the 7? before the bull market, which culminated in 1929. be?an to pick up speed. Longer Trial Melrt Needed. The full meaning of federal con trol of the exchanges for Wall Street was not clear at, the year-ena. a longer period of trial was considered necessary. However, some market stu dents leaned to the view speculation had changed decisively under federal retaliation. They argued It had evolved from Its old unrestrained exuberance, re- suiting in sharp advances and de clines, Into a sedate semt -investment stage, characteristic of markets in some of the older European indus trial countries Baer-Carnera Battle Thrill ing As Any Ever Seen Return of Big Gates Pleases Ring Luminaries Dean Wayne Morse of tha Uni versity of Ortgon law school, who war highly honored by being chosen to preside over the second session of tht attorney general'! crime conference now In session ,.,llAJit Washington, D. C. Dean Morse niBitiiuis - - . By NAT FLEISCHER Editor of the Ring (Written for the United Press) NEW YORK. (UP) The year 1934 saw the passing of Kid Gloom from Flsttana. While boxing competition during the past la months was not quite as eventful as it had been hoped, the background for bigger and better things to come next year, was built. The sport was not the howling success attained during the regime of the late Tex Rtckard, but it did furnish Its share to boxing history. Thus we have the sensational 11- rouna victory of Max Baor over Prlmo Camera., a contest that will go down in ring annals as one of the most thrilling of all time, a bout that takes Its place side by side with the Dempsey-Wlliard and Dempsey- nrpo mius. Two Record Bouts The year also furnished two record making bouts In one of which Jimmy McLarnln lost his welterweight crown to Barney Ross and In the other the Vancouver Irishman regained his ti tle. The victory by Ross enabled the Chicago youth to attain fame as the first modern gladiator to be the holder of two championships, the lightweight and welterweight, at one time. The year 1934 saw also the crown ing of two world champions in Bob Olin, who carried off the llght-heavy-welght crown, and Freddy Miller, who clinched the featherweight title and two American champions, In Baby Arizmendl, the featherweight, and Teddy Yarosss, the middleweight. Added to the above was the re turn of the big gate In boxing and the reopening of 78 per cent of the boxing clubs that had ten closed the previous year. The Baer-Carnera and the two Ross-McLarnln contents showed contests amounting to 1900,- 000, which, considering that an in ternational depression has been with is for three years, speaks volumes for the popularity of boxing. Finances Belter Although the larger organizations comprising the Madison Square Gar den of New York and Boston, the Chicago Stadium and the Olympia of Detroit failed to click financially during the indocr seasons, the fact that throughout the country the smaller cluL showed either a small profit, or came close to breaking even is an Indication that boxing Is on Its way to prosperity again. New Talent We had no Jack Dempsey. Georges Carpentler, Jack Delaney, Paul Ber- Ion bach, Harry Greb, Gene Tunney, Benny Leonard, Tom Gibbons, John ny Dundee or Charley White to carry the boxing banner on high, but in their place the sport produced group of youngsters whose sensation al work brought back the spectators who had deserted boxing the previous year. Such talen as Paul Plrrone, Teddy Yarosz, Baby Arizmendl, Charley Mas sacre, Art Lasky, Bobby Pacho, Eddie Cool, Harry Dubllnsky, Kid Aztcca. Frankte Kllck, Creflno Garcia. Jack Peterson, Jock McAvoy, Ambroca Palmer. Fred Hcnneberry. Jack Car roll, Merv Blandon, Maurice Holtzer, Maurice Huguenin, Valentin Angle mann, Louis Sallca, Leonard Del Gonlo, Lew Feldman and Petey Hayes were among the many newcomers whose efforts were received with fa voritism by those who paid the freight. Most Notable Feats The most notable feats of the year In boxing were: 1 The knockout of Prlmo camera by Max Baer. a The winning of the welterweight crown by Bnrney Ross, who thus became a, double champion. 3 McLarnln's defeat of Ross to re gain the welterweight crown. 4 Freddy Miller's victory over Nel Tarleton to clinch the world's featherweight title. 5 The victory of Ted Yarosz over Vince Dundee for the American middleweight crown. 8 Bob Olln's triumph over Maxey Rosenbloom which carried with It the world's llght-heavywelght diadem. By F. A. RES OH CHICAGO. KP) The latest chap ter In the amazing history of the Chicago Bears was written by one Kenneth Strong, a footballer who plays for the New York Giant. Mr. Strongs team Is the national champion today by virtue of the first victory scored against the Bears in 34 starts. The Bears' defeat can be laid at Mr. Strong'e feet, and at the shoes which adorned Mr. Strong's feet at the Polo Grounds on the bit ter cold afternoon of December 9. Wearing basketball shoes to counter act the slippery, frozen turf. Strong outfooted the Bears in the final play off game. But defeat at the hands of the Giants, whom they had defeated twice during the season, does not alter the fact that the Boars are perhaps the greatest team In the his tory of the professional game. The questions, How did they develop such a team? What rules govern their ac tions during the playing season? still hold the same Interest. Yearlings and veterans alike are expected to be In condition and keep in condition and to be In bed at 11 o'clock on nights before games. Coach George Halas refuses to pamper any one. The "kid sage" Is past when a player turns prole&slunsl, and the men are handled accord lijly. Dally from Tuesday to Friday, In clusive, the squad reports at 9:30 a. , for a vigorous three-hour work out scrimmage experiments, with PARIS, Mo. (UP) The "Rhost" of Paris, lster than usual, made lta ap pearance here'aRRln this fall. The "ghost" this year Is smaller In sir, but has a more extensive ward robe than In the past 70 years. Be sides having appeared in the conven tional white, the "fehost" was seen dressed in black and wearing a tall black hat. Oenerally the "ghost" made lta ap pearance In October, but this year It waited until late November to send a shiver or two to those who reported seeing It. It Is not on record that the apparition ever harmed anyone. According to local legend, the ghost is the Jilted sweetheart of a conred erate soldier. The maiden vowed on her desthbed that she would return In the melancholy days of the fall to haunt her former sweetheart and the entire town of Paris. The "ghost" has a disturbing habit of confronting people, leaving them frightened and speechless, and then disappearing. This year It took a side line of window peeping, those who have seen "It," reported. Ore and Bullion Purchased l.kMl-H h. Stal. af Ci!l!ofl. WII.DBERG BROS. SMELTING RI.FINING CO.

Bronko has cleared the way for most of Feath ers' gains and Seattle readily ad mits It. It Is Halas' ambition to handle his men so there Is no chance for per sonal Jealously or envy to creep into the picture, and those close to the team say he has succeeded admirably. Those critics of the pro game who contend It "lacks spirit" should be planted In the Bears' dressing hoom In their line on the field for a week of successive Sundays. In the dressing room the din of cheers and the back-slapping la no less reserved than at any college you miaght mention. Whoever pulls an exceptionally smooth play Is lauded to the skies. After each victory the Bears act as If they never had won another game. And after the defeat by the Giants there was never a more sorrowful crew. Between halves, when the team not Infrequently has been behind, the players gcther around a dressing room blackboard, where first-half er rors are charted, and strategy la out lined for the second half. 4 Mae West Director Dies HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 39.
