the law itself, but by elimina
tion of all human considerations,”
lie told the Senate.

tective bureau in charge of the in
vestigation?

OTTO PLAYS SAFE-SAVE S CHIN, MUFFS CHANCES
Take a look at Otto’s profile and then you may see why he devotes so little time to swing
ing his right and so much time blocking blows at his charming chin. Otto’s “potato" does
make a lovely target for the boys to shoot at. It’s pretty generally agreed that this chin
complex is keeping him from going places in the boxing business. Be instinctively is a great
defensive fighter but is a slow motion expert when it comes to the attack.
