ANSONLA-CHASE
 MEET TOMORROW
Large Crowd Expected for Tourney Semi=Finals-
 Dancing to Follow

Two of the pre-tourney favorites, Chase Co. of this city and the White Flashes of Ansonia, will meet in the semi-flnals of the Wa terbury Democrat-Y. M. c. A. state amateur elimination basketball tournament tomorrow night at the Central Y in what should prove to be a humdinger for action. The contest will start at o'clock and will be followed by dancing with Timmie Crowe's Colonials furnish ing the music.
 The winner of this contest will show Friday night against the Boys Club Cadets for the championship and the beautiful Waterbury Democrat trophy. This game will also be the lone one of the evening and will be followed by dancing.
 Picking the winner of tomor- rows tussle is a tossup and fol- lowers around town are divided in their selections, some believing Chase will be unable to stop Charley Sepkowski and Jackie Fair and others opining that Harold Dunn and Ralph Santopietro will run wild against the Copper City array. Two central board officials will handle the game.

 stars they ought to run wild in the league.
 In the only game played in the Grammar School League this
 week, Slocum nosed out Barnard, 7-6.
 There will have to be a replay of the Russell-Cracker Hill game.

 that will be with the winning team
 taking the championship. Cavallo and Colby of Slocum
 helped their team to win over Bar | nard with points. The Cracker Hills took a game
 from Driggs by forfeit. They would
 have won anyway. They're pretty good!
 Perrone did his best to pull Bar
 nard up the ladder with a win over
 Slocum but his teammates let him
 down. Tough luck, Perry! | Lou Kelly, former Wilby flash, | is refereeing the both Grammar School leagues. The fans sure take | to Lou. He's the best there Is in

NEW B. U. CRIDlR0N COACH CONSIDERED

Boston, March 14.-(UP)- Selection of a Boston university football coach was expected to be made in the near future from four candidates survivors of a field of 1O5 who have been considered by university authorities, it was an. nounced last night.
 While no inkling as to the iden- tity of the four men was given out, Director of Athletics Dr John M. Harmon said that two are older men with long terms of successful experience, and two are young men of promise"
 Tine final group originally listed six candidates, but two of these are not regarded as likely choices be- cause they have been drawing Q salary far above what B. U. auth critics feel they are able to pay.

The great Borotra, for years one of the musketeers of defending French Davis Cup teams, came to the end of the international tennis trail yesterday, in the opinion of many experts. He was eliminated by Frank Bowden, former Colum- bia University captain who rates no higher than 25th in the national rankings.
 Bowden turned him back 2-6, 10-8, 6-3. If this defeat had oc- cured outdoors 1t would have been bad enough, but 1t was appalling indoors. For years Borotra has been considered the ace of the worlds indoor players.
 Going Badly
 Moreover, the elimination fol- lowed questionable showings in the first and second rounds when Jean had difficulty with Kenneth Appel and was in distress against Ernest Koslan.
 When questioned after the match Borotra gave no indication that he might retire, nor was he certain about his plans for Davis Cup play this year. He attributed his poor performances to the recurrance of an old knee injury.
 Young Andre Merlin is the sole remaining standard bearer of the French tricolor in the tourney. Two other invading Frenchmen, also were shunted to the sidelines yes- terday. Paul Feret lost to Dr. Eugene McCauliff of New York, and Christian Boussus was elim- mated by George Lott of Chicago.

Naugy Team to
 Meet MOhicans

Bridgeport, March 14.-Tomor- row evening at Harding high gym local basketball fans will see two of the finest teams in the state in action when the Mohican Market five stacks up against the U. s. Rubber of Naugatuck, last years state champions, in what will be the rubber game of the series.
 The market boys are anxious to win this game as they feel that the real reason for their defeat in Nau- gatuck earlier in the season was lack of reserve material. Now they have enough material to put two teams on the floor, one just as good as the other and feel sure that Thursday nights game will have a different ending than that of the last encounter. Word received from Naugatuck is that large following will accompany the team to lend 1t vocal support.

"Brain Trusters" Hit

lace "flirts with the ideas of die
tatorship and suppression Of free
speech"
With America today excitedly
discussing the charges of DR.. Will
liam A. Writ that the Admins
tration "brain trust" is plotting to
overthrow the Government, DR..
w. r. West, professor of political
sciences at George Washington
University, hurled that charge
last night.
Pamphlet Cited
The dictatorship is advocated
in q new pamphlet. America
Must Choose" issued by Secre-
tary Wallace, DR.. West charged.
A further charge that Com
munists, working under the dtrec-
tion Of Moscow, are attacking
our Constitution was made last
night in an address by Prof.
Roscoe j. C. Dorsey Of the Wash
ington College Of Law.
A consistent critic Of the Ad-
ministration, DR.. West charged
that the liberals" are working
toward the goal Of dictatorship.
Attacks RegimentatiOn
Assailing this step he asserted:
Imperfect as our economic
system may be, political regi-
mentatiOn Of our economic life
would be worse"
He attacked the practice Of the
Administration in proclaiming the
ideals Of the brotherhood Of men"
and then making political appoint
mentS in the bureaus designed to
achieve these ideals.
Sees Religion In Peril
Such action, he said, is evidence
that no intelligent and impartial
control Of industry can be ex'
peSted.
DR.. Dorsey charged that the
Communists are seeking to over
throw our Constitution and abolish
religion, individual property rights,
and other American traditions.

ers who have been subjected to q
Is per cent paycut, despite in
creased living costs.
FurIOughs Feared
When the veterans relief amend
ments appeared assured Of con-
gressional approval, Administra-
ton leaders in both houses came
from the White House with warn
ings of veto, but none would come
out definitely to the extent of say
ing that the President had told
them he would reject the measure.
Everything was what they "un-
derstood."
Should the veto be sustained,
future action regarding what
Congress will do on the legiSla-
ton was a matter of speculation.
One House leader pointed out
that Congress either could write
q new bill conforming to the Sug-
gestionS the President may make
in his veto message, or a resolu-
ton continuing through next year
the current years appropriations
for the various Government
agencies for which the bill carries
funds could be enacted.
In case continuing resolution
is enacted, there would be no pay
cut provisions on the statute
books, but employees would not get
their full pay since the appropria-
tions bills do not carry sufficient
amounts to pay all on the rolls
their full basic salaries.
FurlOughS Loom
It would thus be necessary for
the heads of the various depart
ments and agencies to compel all
employees to take administrative
furloughs for a length Of time
sufficient to reduce their annual
salary to an amount equal to a
10 per cent paycut.
One remedy, Of course, would
be the passage of deficiency
bills, and another would be non

filling Of vacancies, which would
reduce the furloughS considerably
However, it was suggested to
day that two other possibilities
still remain.
The District Of Columbia bill
is one appropriation bill that has
not yet reached the floor OF the
House, and it would be possible
to add an economy rider to that
bill, devoid of any provision FOL
veterans.
Another Possibility
Still another possibility would
be adoption of a resolution that
certain provisions of the inde-
pendent offices appropriation act
continue in effect for another
year, thus renewing the present
pay-cut program.
Regarding the veterans, the
White House was said to be will
ing to accept provisions restoring
service-connected cases to the
rates enjoyed on March 10, 1888
and give Spanish-American war
Philippine Insurrection and Boxer
Rebellion veterans IS per cent OF
the compensation paid them last
March.
Upset to the Budget
While the President has stated
that men actually disabled in wal
should be aided by their Govern
ment, he has vigorously opposed
grants for peace time" injuries
of World War veterans.
Therefore, he holds, all Ques
tionable cases should be reviewed
by special boards.
The combined amendments tc
the supply bill, it is estimated
would cost the Government 1928,
100000 a year. The President has
already modified the original vet
erans economy act to the extent
Of $100, 10000 to $150,000, 900.
Comparatively little Of the eco
nomy act which Congress passed
at the Presidents request would
be left under the bill just passed
The additional cost, Administers
ton leaders have contended, would
upset budgetary plans.

Attacks on His Labor Bill Lead
to LiberaIizing of Several
Provisions
BY international News Service

A spirited attack on the Wagner
bill, proposing to strengthen the
collective bargaining provision OF
the recovery act in the interest OF
the working man, today prompted
Senator Wagner CD Of New York
to draft amendments draStically
revising the bill.
He said he will insert q provi-
sion permitting the operation Of
certain company unions, agree to
court reviews of findings of fact
Of the National Labor Board, Of
which he is chairman, and pro-
hibit coercion on the part Of both
employer and employe and hold
them responsible for their acts.

The A. F. of L. had approved
the bill in its original form but
William Green, it's president, with.
held a statement on Senator Wag-
ner'S proposed amendments.
James A. Emery, counsel for the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, defended company unions
and attacked the bill as giving Or
ganized labor monopol1Stic control.
Contract Section Revised
Senator Wagner also agreed to
modify the bills section calling for
the abrogation of all workers
contracts containing provision con-
trary to the policies outlined in
his bill.
