"It has never been suggested to me

Bout Must Await Healing
Of Ambers Cut Lip;
Armstrong Assents
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-(P)-A repe-
tition of the 15-round thriller Henry
Armstrong and Lou Ambers unreeled
in Madison Square Garden last night
was promised New Yorkers today, but
they're going to have to wait some
time to see it.
Both Al Weill, manager of the de-
feated Ambers, and Eddie Mead, who
pilots Armstrong, first man in ring
history to wear three crowns at one
time, agreed to do an encore for Mike..
Jacobs as soon as Armstrong recovers
from the cutting up Ambers gave
him.
Three Months To Heal
Dr. Alexander Schiff, who took
more than 10 stitches in Armstrong's
lip, told Mead it will require two and
maybe three months for the lip to
mend properly. Armstrong will need
an additional month to get into con-
dition.
"Henry has one of the worst cut
lips I have seen in 30 years of treating
fighters' wounds," Dr. Schiff told
Mead.
The holder of the featherweight,
welterweight and lightweight titles
spent today crating up his collection
for shipment to California. Arm-
strong and Mead go west tomorrow.
Later the Negro will take a trip to
Honolulu with his wife.
Mead made it plain Armstrong has
no intention of surrendering the
featherweight title herwon from
Petey Sarron last October.
Promise To Defend Title '
"We've promised Ed Bang to de-
fend that title on the Christmas fund
show he runs each year for the
Cleveland News," he said. "Henry's
opponent will be Jackie Wilson, Gin-
ger Foran, Mike Belloise or Leo Ro-
dak."
Ambers, who came out of the hec-
tic battle in much better physical
trim than his conqueror, took it easy
around tQwn today. He leaves to-
morrow on a fishing trip and then
will go to Quebec for a visit,

"The first thing Lou said to me
when he woke up this morning was to
make another Armstrong match for
him," said Al Weill. "Mead is will-
ing and we'll fight as soon as his boy
is in shape. Ambers will be ready
after a month's rest."
Ambers collected $33,860.22 for his
beating. Armstrong's end was $20,-
766.13. Revised figures show the gross
gate was $107,280.94 and the total
attendance 19.216.

Representatives Of Both
Sides Simultaneously
Appear In Neutral City
ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 18-W)
-Simultaneous appearance in Zurich
today of the premier of Government
Spain and the Spanish Insurgent
representative in London inspired re-
ports that the two had met as repre-
sentatives of the warring Spanish
factions.
Swiss sources were inclined to dis-
count a statement by Dr. Juan Ne-
grin. Spanish Government premier,
that he came to Zurich only to attend
the International Congress of Physi-
ologists.
It was pointed out that he had
left his hotel at the hour of the
congress banquet, but failed to ap-
pear there.
Associates of the Duke of Alba, In-
surgent representative in London, de-
clined to disclose why he was in Zur-
ich. He and Negrin had suites at
different hotels, both of which were
guarded.
Attendants at Negrin's suite ex-
plained his evening absence by say-
ing he had gone to confer with con-
gress delegates.
The Spanish Government premier
arrived in Zurich this morning, ac-
companied by two other Spanish doc-
tors, one of whom was Rafael Men-
des, secretary of state for interior
in the premier's cabinet.
At the congress banquet in the eve-
ning, Fabra Nebras, Spanish minister
to Switzerland, made a speech in Ne-
grin'stname, thanking Switzerland for
"aid to the women and children of
Spain."

he spoke on "The Dawning Renais-
sance." At the service, the Summer
Chorus, directed by Prof. David A.
Mattern of the Music School led the
assembly singing and H. W. Schaf-
fer of the Grinnell Music Co. was
at the console of the organ, tempor-
arily installed for the occasion. Two
more Vesper services were held dur-
ing the summer, both on the Terrace
of the Library.
President Ruthven gave the prin-
cipal address at a breakfast held in
the Union honoring 450 students who
received their master's degree dur-
ing the. Summer Session. Professor
Hopkins was master of ceremonies
at the breakfast.
To enable Summer Session students
to visit points of scientific, industrial
and educational interest near Ann
Arbor, the University conducted, as
it has for many years, a series of
ten excursions. Groups made tours of
the City of Detroit, Greenfield Vil-
lage, the Ford River Rouge Plant,
the Cranbrook Schools, Niagara Falls
and vicinity, the General Motors
Proving Ground near Milford and
Put-In-Bay Island in Lake Erie. The
excursions were under the direction of
Prof. Louis J. Rouse of the mathe-
niatics department, except for the
trips to Niagara Falls and Put-In-
Bay which were conducted by Prof.
Irving D. Scott of the geology depart-
ment.
Add to this chronicle of events the
innumerable private excursions made
by students to the numberless lakes
in the vicinity of Ann Arbor, and
the long tale can be aptly concluded
by the somewhat hackneyed but al-
ways appropriate journalistic cliche,
"a good time was had by all."

vice" while the proceedings, now held
in abeyance, were pending.
Representative Thomas put in the
record a statement that when the
committee sought government offi-
cials, it repeatedly was told they
were "on vacation." He wanted par-
ticularly, he said, to reach Catherine
Kellock, an official of the WPA Fed-
eral Writers' Project, whose husband,
he added, was a publicity man for
the Russian embassy.
This led Representative Mosier to
express curiosity as to whether any-
one was "tipping off" the persons
whom the committee wished to ques-
tion.
He said he had seen some investi-
gators for the LaFollette Civil Liber-
ties Committee in the committee
room.
"Are they trying to hamstring this
committee?" he asked.
"It looks mighty suspicious to me.
We put two and two together where
I come from."
Sobel and Halpern both told sub-
stantially the same story. They were
"recruited," they said,. by men whom
they knew to be communists. Com-
munists paid for their passports and
provided passage money, they testi-
fied. 'I
"It didn't take long to find out
that the whole setup was communis-
tic," Halpern said of the situation in
Spain, adding later:
"We went over there to fight for
an ideal and then found ourselves
under the Ogpu of Russia."
He said 3,000 to 4,000 Americans
had been in Spain during his time
there.,
"I know definitely that those boys
want to come back," he said. "If we
had thought Franco would repatriate
us we would have gone over to his
side in a minute."
Gov. Murphy Defends
Calling Special Session
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich., Aug.
18-0P)-Opponents of a proposed new
direct relief appropriation were char-
acterized today by Gov. Frank Mur-
phy as persons with a "let 'em starve"
attitude toward the needy.
He replied to charges made by Rep.
Vernon J. Brown, Mason Republican
leader in the House, who asserted a
special session of the legislature had
been called by the Governor iaecause
of a "synthetic" financial emergency.
Brown also charged the Governor
with "playing politics with human
miseries."
"Those who comnplain about the
condition of State government fin-
ances are doing nothing but complain
about what we've done for the unem-
ployed and destitute," Murphy said.
"We wouldn't have a financial pro-
blem if we hadn't provided for the
care of the stricken people of Michi-
gan.

HENDAYE, France (At the Span-

Spanish Government today report-
ed victories on the two most impor-
tant Civil War battlefronts-in the
Ebro River Valley and west of Alma-
den, the mercury mining center.
Barcelona advices said Ebro River
forces had smashed their way back
into complete control of hills dom-
inating Gandesa, recovering positions
lost to the Insurgents since the July
26- push across the river in South
Catalonia.
The victory in the south, where the
Insurgents have been striving to take
over some of Spain's richest natural
resources, was purely defensive. The
Governmnent reported only that it had
blocked the two-pronged drive to-
ward Almaden.
Insurgent dispatches indicated the
southern Insurgent campaign mere-
