Report Von Cramm
To Be Released

Baron Gottfried von Cramm, Germany’s ace tennis player,
may be released from a Nazi prison on parole “within a few
days,” it was reported this week through dispatches from Berlin.

According to the ministry of
justice, his release would be due
te good conduct. The German press
agency failed to mention that his

arrest and imprisonment early this
year on charges of, immorality was
the subject of strone condemnation
from leading sportsmen in United

States and Britain. Observers be-
lieve this fact influenced the re-
ported decision to release the tennis
ace.

He was imprisoned March 5 on
charges of “immorality,” though
many sportsmen believe the real
charge was based on his eriticism
of the Nazis while playing aproau.

TRAIL

get me out of their house.”
The veteran labor organizer was
Given permission to carry a gun.

In Vancouver yesterday, Evans
told the Advocate of the efforis
Made to hamper the union’s drive
to organize employees of the Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting
Company at Trail.

“Pirst,” he said, “a radio speech
i had contracted to make over
station CJAT was banned before
station officials had even read what
i proposed to say.

“Then Vancouver Trotskyists
were hired—and it’s not difficult to
Suess who hired them-—to dis-
tribute copies of Labor Truth, a
Ppheney labor publication around
pool rooms and beer parlors. This
particular issue contained a bitter
attack on the union and on myself
in particular.

“IWext the Consolidated Mining
and Smelting Company mailed 1500
copies of the Sept. 24 issue of
Liberty to selected empioyees.

“This was significant, for this
particular issue contained an anti-
labor article entitled, ‘Why Akron
is a Ghost Town, by ex-Mayor O.
Welson.

“The article related the ex-mayor’s
efforts to defeat the onpanizational
drive of the United Rubber Work-
ers’ Union.

“One paragraph caught my eye.”
Evans produced the copy of Tib-
erty and read:

“... Members of the Etowah
County Rubber Workers’ Inde-
pendent Union at Gadsen, fear-
ful for their jobs, marched upon
the offices of the outside organ-
izers, dismantled them, rounded
up the CIO organizers and ran
them out of town.”

“How's that for suggestion?”
Byans asked.

Continuing, Evans told of the
theft of his car.

(Because the battery had rua

down the thieves were obliged to
tow it away from the house outsiae
which it was parked.

“Tt could have been taken alons
the Gulch road or out by Fruitvale.
Im either case the chances are that
the car would not have been
found yet,” he stated.

“But instead of that the car was
taken up Tadanac hill, barred by
gates and guarded by compan,
watchmen. Hither the car went
straight out to Castlegar or, what
is more likely, it stayed right at
Tadanac.” ;

Tadanac, he explained, is owned
exclusively by Consolidated Mining
and Smelting Company, which
maintains Tadanac police force.

According to evidence given by a
Tadanac policeman, he saw Evans’
ear being towed up another hill
at high speed by a big blue auto.
Suddenly Evans’ car burst into
flames and ran backward doywmn the
hill over the embankment overlook-—
ing Stoney Creek and onto the
CMS dump where it was found
later, a complete wreck.

Mound near the scene was a
flashlight—not Evans’ property—
which, Trail police ccmplained,
had been so badly handled by

Tadanac police that no fingerprints
could be taken from it.

“J am convinced,” said Evans,
‘that if police act in this matter
and cooperate in tracing the cul-
prits they can be brought to trial
without further delay.

Defeats Tarzan
In VSC Bout

Vancouver Sports Club’s
weekly wrestling card featured
another argument between
George Bunka, the club’s ace
matman, and “Tarzan” Potvin
on Saturday with Bunka taking
Tarzan in two out of three falls,
leaving fans to argue just who
was the best man.

Bunka took the first fall after
18 minutes of first class mauling
which saw both men breaking
every rule in the books. Six min-
utes later Tarzan evened the count
with an airplane spin and body
Slam, but in attempting to follow
up his advantage erred on the side
of optimism and fell victim tv
Bunka for the second and deciding
fall.

Bor the benefit of those fans
who are still wondering what hap-
pened, Tarzan picked Bunka up
for another spin, giving the
pression of a merry-go-round, bur
the merry-go-round broke down,
Tarzan got dizzy and fell back-
wards, leaying Bunka with a swell
opportunity of which he was not
Slow to take advantage.

In other bouts Scotty Jacksoi
defeated Bill Masson by one fall in
which Masson got all the cheers
and Jackson all the razzberries
from the fair sex present.

The Wild Joker drew with Bill
Stiles in a good show match: These
boys are good at any time, and the
erowds will welcome a rematch.

Vie Butler defeated Eddie Boul-!
ton in a wild match featuring pro-
digal use of fists, knees and teeth,
accompanied by a flying mare
which did the trick. The fans
were yelling for Vie’s scalp but
the old boy is too canny a matman.

A doddering oldster named
Frank Hall, who has squirmed his
way via the mat game up and
down the Coast for the past 20
years, took on the Boston Kid in
the semi-windup, but Hall put too
much reliance on his bag of tricks
and Referee Lanchuk threw him
out of the ring in the third round
after a bout packed with action.

In the openers, three pairs of
youngsters gave their all at times
for mine rounds of fast boxing.

Mayor G. GC. Miller declared he
was still conviced the matter was
a huge bluff on the part of the

Hon. Wells Gray has, however,

Stating that it may be possible
the logging will not be a financial
success, George Bury said that this
would not stop logging operations.
