EYES SOVIET RECOGNITION
Father Walsh One of
Group Studying
the Question

The Rev. DR.. Edmund A. Walsh,
of Georgetown University, is work
ing with a group which expects
shortly to issue a statement on
Russian recognition, it was learned
today. The personnel Of the group
and the nature Of the statement,
it is understood, are such as to
make it probable that it will have
considerable weight.
Father Walsh not long ago met
Secretary of State Cordell Hull at
a Washington hotel, and it is be-
lieved that the question of Soviet
recognition was discussed at that
time. Since then it has come into
increasing prominence.
Father Walsh, for 10 years or
more, has devoted much thought
to the Russian question. and has
made many addresses on Russia.
Recently he expressed the view
that Russian recognition was pos
sible, but that certain conditions
would have to be met.
The nature of these conditions
will be fully covered in the forth.

PILOTS To SEEK
LABOR AID

Difficulties that have arisen
between pilots of commercial air
lines and their employers will be
discussed at a hearing Tuesday
before the National Labor Board.
The questions at issue are alleged
discrimination against pilots who
have been active iE the Pilots
Association, and intimations that
the lines are trying to force the
pilots to strike.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
has made a statement promising
full cooperation in bringing the
facts before the authorities.
The pilots also contend that a
conference of air line officials,
scheduled for Monday, is a viola
ton of an agreement that they
would hold no such conferences
until after the code is signed.

Friction with the Latin Ameri.

closer trade relations with the ma.
tions of South and Central Amer.
lea.
Assistant Secretary of State JEFF
ferson Caffery, in charge of Latin
American affairs, will resume con-
VersatlonS with the Colombian
minister and his economic experts
today while formal trade nego-
tiations will be inaugurated with
Brazil next week.
Negotiations Jagged
President Roosevelt's ambitious
movement for developing closer
economic unity among the nations
OF the Western Hemisphere was
launched late in August, but was
permitted to lag when the Cuban
trouble threatened to bring about
the danger of American inter-
Vention.
The other Latin American ma
tions made it plain American in
tervention in Cuba would create
intense resentment and ill-will in
most Of the countries south of the
Rio Grande.
State Department officials,
therefore, were fearful an embar-
RAISING situation might arise if
American troops were forced to
land in Cuba at the same time
that trade conversations were be-
ing carried on here with repre-
Sentatives of other Latin Amer
4can republics.
Experts Take Part
Although Caffery has held pre-
1iminary conversations with DR..
Don Fa bio Lozano, Colombian
minister. today's conference will
be the first in which the Colom-
bian economic experts have par
ticipated actively. They are
Francisco Plata and Arturo Her
nandez, both members of the Co.
lombian customs tribunal.
The trade discussions with Co.
1ombia center around the willing
ness of this country to maintain
coffee, bananas. and cocoa, the
principal exports Of that Repub-
lie, on the free list for a definite
period in return for expansion
of American markets in Colombia.

 The Eagles face tough outfit in the Bruin Cubs with Harnott, O'Neill and Buckles on the first line, but with their own force bol- stered by the addition of Fred Carl ton, defense man sent to New Ha- ven by the Canadians, they have high hopes of keeping on the right side.

Te,.rvilh Sports

Basketball fans in Terryville and vicinity will have plenty of good basketball. games to satisfy their minds for the remainder of the season with several fast teams having been organized here. Among the outstanding teams that this town can boast of this season and which would make good showing against any of the teams in the state are the St Casimir's Parish clu. entrant in the State Polish Parish League which is composed of nine teams from all sections of the state. At the pres- ent time the local club Is yet to suffer defeat and is heading the league. The team Is composed en- tirely of Polish youths, members of the St Casimir's Polish church.
 This team which has played sev- eral home games here, will not appear on the local surface again until January 9th.
 The West End A. c. have also put a basketball team on the chalked surface which according " AuaAa6SEf 41tA 11d6dIItdu IdSf HOL as yet announced the lineup of the first appearance early next week. The team. will, however, be com posed of several l,outstanding Terry vile and Bristol players. The team will appear on the same program with the St Casirnir's five at the Auditorium, the team to make its first home appearance on January 9th. k,
 The St Casimir's club in its home appearances have drawn crowds of 400 or more for each game.
 Fans are treated to three games of basketball each Monday night in the town basketball league which is composed of five teams.

LEWIS HIGH TO MEET NAUGATUCK
 AT BOROUGH Y
Tuckey to Be Tried at Gen. ter Post for FOleymen
 Reserves in Prelim

Naugatuck, Dec 30-More exper- imenting with the lineup of the Naugatuck high school team will take place tonight in the game with Lewis high of Southington, Peter J. Foley, coach, stated this morn ing. q am not satisfied with the present lineup of the team by any means" Coach Foley said. There will be more experimenting"
 One of the changes which will probably be seen tonight is the sub- stitution of Dick Tuckey for George Nixon at the center position. This has been a week spot in the team throughout the year and although Nixon has been improving, Coach Foley is hoping Tuckey can fill the position. He was tried in it recent ly in practice and showed up fairly well. Tuckey has been one of the leading scorers on the team thus far this season. It is possible Nixon may replace him at guard, but there is other material for the guard position.
 Galeski Not Yet Ready Coach Foley said Gene Galeski who was a regular last year, is inn proving from his leg injuries but although he has reported for work he is not yet in form to play with the varsity. When Galeski rounds into shape, the local team should be materially strengthened.
 Tonight's game will be no walk away for Naugatuck, Coach Foley asserted. He predicted a hard bat tie for his team from the Lewis high quintet.
 There will be reserve contest between the Naugatuck and South ington reserve teams which will get
 underway about 7:30. John Cluney,
 Democrat sports editor, has been engaged to referee the main game.

To-day:s Sport Parade

of the United States Lawn Tennis association agrees with Bill Tilden in the latter's belief that the U. S. Davis cup teafn this year should be built on promising youngsters. When anybody connected with the U. s. l.. T. A. agrees with Big Bill it's news. Time was when William and the tennis fathers couldn't agree on black and white.
 The gospel truth: When Jack Dempsey came into Madison Square Garden to collect his "bit" of some $700,000 for his second fight with Tunney he handed one of the business office secretaries three unstamped letters to mail When his check arrived by mail the next day six cents had been 0educted-for the stamps.
 Speaking of the Garden, we'd like to bet ten bucks it never holds that proposed Camera -Loughran bout in Miami this winter. The ballyhoo alone would cost more than the thing woul dstand to make. Besides, Camera is hardly thick enough to risk his title in a shot that would bring him little in the way of money and less in the way of prestige.

 AND l933VARSITY MSPEUAL GAME
White, Carrirgton, Lee, Norttrup and Guerrera
 To Play

One of the greatest Waterbury basketball combinations ever turned out will wiggle into slightly larger uniforms this December evening at the Boys club gym to try and play the old games with semblance of the class that made them champions of Connecticut and Massa chusetts in 1917. Includ- cd in the. group. will be Alden White, 'Penuch' Guerrero, Henny Darlington, Harrison Northrup, Jimmy Lee, Tommy Cavanaugf and "Midgie" Byron.
 At 9 o'colck or thereabouts, they will take the floor against the pres ent Boys Club. Varsity, which has made an impressive recofd this season to date, and have not yet his their real stride. The game. special event on the lively club sport program will be preceded by an interesting preliminary game, featuring Eddie Bagley's Pastime Girls and the St Joseph Alumnae lassfes from the Brooklyn section, and will be followed by dancing. Fleetwood Here
 To make the picture complete in every detail, the 1917 Clubbers will be handled by their original coach. l Septirnus C. Fleetwood, who taught all of the above players inside" basketball, before they ever saw the walls of Crosby high school, where many believe the boys learned the game under the tute- lage of George Taylor. However, it so happens that White, Caring ton, sGuerrera and Lee were beau- tifully finished basketball players before they became candidates for the Crosby team, and the afore- mentioned gentleman, S. C. Fleet wood was responsible for their in- dividual and collective player abil- ity and whatever Ps and Q's they picked up from the 1912 to 1915 era.
 I Experimental
 And no wthey are down for 5 comeback, more for curiosity's sake than anything else and the present crop of Clubbers such as Jimmy Crichton, Howie Kraft, Jack Keefe. Harry Kelley, Jimmy Menturwick, Donnelley and Paddy Quilter will bring out all the bas- ketball that is still left in the physica makeups of the "old tim ers' as they must now be listed. White. Darlington and Lee are successful coaches, and still play the game bit with their teams, so the Varsity may be in for some thing more than a workout as they might be inclined to expect. And if the worst comes to the worst, they boys of 1917 vintage will turn on that old Fleetwood zone de- fense, of which nothing got by but lightning, and not much of that. At any rate. the game is treat, and deserving of Q capacity audi ence. s
 The girls game, too is worthy of patronage, for both the Pas times and St Joseph units are well drilled and really know what the game is about.

Teams Meet at WiIby Gym With Close, Hard Game
 Expected

Memories of their two pitched battles for points last year will loom again tonight, when Tracey Carey brings his big Red team down from Torrington to engage Crosby high schools basketeers once again, this time at the Wilby gym. It will be the second Nauga- tuck Valley league game for Tor rignton, while Crosby, getting stronger and steadier since it's wins over Leavenworth and the old Grads make an initial start in league play. The game, set for 8:S0 o'clock will be preceded by a warm-up featuring the reserve players of the two schools.
 Starters
 Joe Bagley, Dave Bartolini, Joe Joyce, Johnny Thompson and Will bur Dunn look like the starting quintet for Crosby while Torring- ton Is sure to start Longhi, Eich- ner and York, its three most de- pendable players, who did their share in winning over Central last week, before they were aired via the personal foul route.
 Experimenting
 Coach Bill Schofield is not yet set on top five, for he has been doing considerable shifting in Crosby's two games to date. Bagley, for in- stance, has been used regularly, but at left guard and center. Thompson has been alternating with Nose Holmes at forward, while Winnie Renzo's speed has been utilized in the back court several times.
 Close Rivals
 Basketball records of Crosby Torrington games for years, are in- teresting because of the many close contests played between the repre- sentative teams. It is rare that two teams in any sport from the New and Brass city high schools do not put on a good show, and tonight will be no exception, their games with other opponents indicates.

By HENRY MO LEMORE United Press stan Correspondent

New York, Dec 30-(UP)--Be- ing nothing more vital than a few paragraphs on subjects ranging from Tony Canzoneri to William Tatem Tilden the Twice:
 If someone should ankle up to you and ask for a perfect smile you could offer nothing finer than as permanent as swimming record. The ink never dries on a swimming record, so fast, do the boys and gals splash them off the pages. Our suggestion is that the time for all distances besplaced at zero and hte whole thing forgotten until somebody comes along who can negotiate any span of water in nothing fiat. Judging by the man. ner in which the mermaids and mermen have been attacking time, such a swimmer is only five years off.
 If further proof is needed that Tony Canzoneri isn't quite the buli-chested, tireless little game cock he used to be, it can be found in Tony's demand these days that his fights be over the ten, not the fifteen ound, route. A few years back fifteen rounds was just a run around the corner for the little fellow who o-looks-like-Babe Ruth. And if you'll watch Tony closely in scrap you'll see that he isn't able to sustain an attack over the full three minutes of a round. Af- ter about a minute of steady driv- ing his arms grow weary, his legs lose their spring. Time hasn't af- fected the Canzoneri's heart, how ever. It's still as big as a water melon on the vine.

DEPRESSION LOSS ESTIMATED

Montreal, lUP)-It Is estimated by one source here that the econ- omic loss to Canada due to the de- rression totals $11.00,000 in terms of money. or about $I,000,000 in terms of purchasing power after al- lowance has been made for changes in the cost of living. The estimate is made on the assumption that the country might have continued it's progress after 1928 at a rate equal to the natural increase in popula- ton. about 1-2 epr cent annually under ordinary conditions.
