After rinsing, blot ?e to shape, and dry Belts May Slash Auto Deaths By DAVID J. WILKIK AP Automotive Editor DETROIT?Scoffed at for years as impractical and unwanted, the automobile seat belt may yet be- , come standard equipment. Edward R. Dye of Cornell University test ing laboratory says its universal use would cut auto crash fatalities in half. A 35,000 annual death toll on the nation's highways is making more motorists conscious of safety. Na tional and state legislation is be ing proposed for the installation of safety belts. However, even pro ponents of the belts say safety cannot be legislated into motor cars and motoring. It will have to come, they say. through a pro longed course of education. Dispute Continues Probably nothing suggested for the automobile in the last quarter century or more has stimulated as much argument as the seat belt. The automobile industry's spokes men say it can be installed in a car with relatively little added cost. But, they add, few persons want the belt until they have been involved in a serious traffic ac cident. They add also that the belt alone may not be the complete answer to safer driving. It may have to be supplemented with a shoulder harness. Relatively few oersons. they say, want to be strapped into an automobile. Also proposed are a chest guard over the steering post and padding over the dashboard. The former would save many drivers from chest injuries; the latter would ab sorb head blows that might be suffered by the occupant of the so-called "suicide" scat ? along side the driver. CONTRAST ? Drawings based on Cornell University laboratory testa showing bow safety belts prevent injuries. All these things have been tested exhaustively by the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, an af filiate of Cornell University. And the safety belts have been un qualifiedly endorsed by a group of surgeons Who participated recently in a panel discussion of the cor safety problem. Mast Be Solid Alvin C. Smith, writing in the laboratory's "Research Trends," li Schmeling Got Break, Won Title On Foull' WINS GOING AWAY?As his manager, Joe Jacobs, argued with referee Jim Oowley, Mali Schmel ing (being carried to his corner) became the world's heavyweight boxing champion. This dramatic finish happened 25 yeart ago (June 12, 1930) in Yankee Stadium when Jack Sharkey landed a low blow in 2:55 of the fourth round. i By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sport* Editor On a warm June night 25 years ago 79,222 boxing fans jammed Yankee Stadium to see Jack Sharkey of Bostbn and Max Schmeling of Germany fight for the world's heavyweight boxing championship. At the time it wais the largest gathering to attend a fight in the homt of the New York Yankees. Wih ringside seats at $25 the well ballyhooed meeting drew $749,92$ in gate receipts, fifth best despite the stock market crash of eight months previous. Schmellng, regarded as a like ness of Jack Dempsey, had won his last seven boats. So had Shar key, the ex-sailor. But Schmeling hadn't fought in a year and for that reason Sharkey entered the ring an 8 to 5 favorite. Rumors that Schmeling wouldn't receive a fair shake because he was fi?litine in America were un founded. The<u? led to ? Drefi"ht statement bv James A. Farlev. lat er postmaster general and Demo cratic national chairman. New York State Athletic Commission chairman Farley said: "Fair play will be stressed and Schmeling will receive the same honest consideration as Sharkey." Farley coVldn't have spoken any Inter words ? for tbe Teuton Schlager, as Schmeling was label led, surely got a fair shake. He became world's heavyweight cham pion while being carried to his corner at the end of the fourth round. Officially the end of the ficht came dramatically after 2 minute* and 55 seconds of the fourth round when Sharkey, while leading on points, drove a low left hook be low the belt. The blow was conspicuously low to those in a position to see it land. It sent Schmelinff ffroanine to the canvas. Yet confusion relvn ed because Referee Jim Crowlev was not in a position to see the illegal punch. Crowlev went over to Judve Harold Barnes and received an affirmative head shake He then went across the rin<* to confer with Judge Charles Mathlson but the latter gave no Indication as to where the blow landed. Crowley then asked Barnes three more times about the punch and eaeh time Barnes nodded an emphatic yes. While Schmeling's handlers. Trairter Mhx Marhon and Dhc Casey, carried the European champion to his corner Referee Crowley finally agreed with Barnes. The referee then summon ed into the ring the one man per mitted to announce the decision? Announcer Joe Humphries. It was the first time the prised boxing plum went to Europe. It was also the first time id model n ring history that the heavyweight crown was deeMed on a foul. When it was over, Sharkey was too overcome to SaV a word. Dr. William H Walker examined Schmeline and said he fonhd defin ite evidence of a low blow. In his dressing room Schmeline said: "I'm sorry I won the wav I did." It mnv never haoDen that wav *"ain. ToHsv a low blow means the loss of the round and not the fiehl. Imperfect Bond KEV WEST. Fla.

N?w York Visitor Injured While Feeding Park Bear For disregarding the signs and warnings of the National Park Ser vice against feeding and molesting the bears in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a visit or from New York was seriously injured. The visitor was feeding a mother bear as he sat in his ear and very soon the bear was so at tracted to the food that the bear climbed onto the ledge of the car window. The visitor then became aware that the bear was not tame, but it was too late to obey the signc. The bear slapped the man on the right side of the face, which caused severe lacerations and per haps permanent Injury. He was treated by a Gatlinburg doctor. The National Park Service urges visitors not to feed the bears in the park ? 'not only is it a viola tion punishable by a fine, but it is dangerous to the visitor doing the feeding and will cause the bear to be a greater menace to others.
