A genuine smile wreathed the
face of the ambassador as he
made this statement. There was
a generous willingness to waive
the Importance of his own posi-
ton, which ranks second to none
in diplomatic circles.
1.-THE japanese people have
welcomed the American base
ball players as we have vel
coined other representatives Of
America. The people of this
country have been whOIe-hearted
in their hospitality toward jap
anese teams in the past Wa
Seda University has sent teams
to America. So has KeiO. They
have received the most hOSpita-
BILE treatment"
do you see any possibility of
the development of a major
league in Japan as q result of
these visits of American League
ball players?" 1 asked Ambassa-
dor SaitO.
SEES LEAGUE IN FUTURE
"Perhaps some time in the fu.
ture," he replied. cat present
college baseball has the greatest
hold upon the people. Yet we
are developing players who upon
graduation play with SemiprO-
fessiOnal teams. There has
been talk of forming a prOfes-
Sional league with six or more
cities represented. Yokohama,
Toxic, Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya-
these are some of the cities that
suggest themselves at the mo-
ment. But as I say, no definite
plans have been made for its
promotion.
SIS sumo wrestling still the
national sport of Japan" we
asked Ambassador SaitO.
"SumO tournaments are still
held" he replied, "and, Of
course, they hold the interest
of the people. But baseball has
definitely eclipSed sumo. In
fact, all outdoor sports are in
creaSing rapidly in popularity.
Interest in competitive out
door sports has been greatly
stimulated by Prince Chichibu,
younger brother Of the MikadO.
He presents cups for COMPETE
ton and attends athletic meets.
This patronage has attracted
the youth of the country to-
ward all forms of athletic COM
petition.
Natural rivals
Japan and America are nat
ural rivals in baseball" said Am
bassadOr Saito with a warm
smile. 1--WE have taken the game
for our own, and have made
more progress with it than any
other nation has. / am informed
that the Australians have taken
up baseball, and, Of course, 1t IL
played in the Philippine Islands.
But we think our teams are bet

COFFIN INQUEST
FREES DRIVER

Representative Thomas C. Cof-
fin CD of Idaho, met his death
accidentally when he walked into
the path of an automobile last
week, according to a verdict by
a coroner's jury.
At an inquest at the District
morgue, the jury absolved Morris
Grayefsky, 80, of the 700 block
of Quebec Pl. N. w., in connec-
ton with the accident. Mr..
Grayefsky was driving the auto
mobile which struck Mr.. Coffin
last Tuesday near the Capitol.
DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald,
District coroner, denounced the
system of traffic lights on the
Capitol grounds, declaring pedes-
trians are not protected at any
of the street crossings.
According to testimony by Ed
ward Kelly, of Kew Gardens, an
attorney for the Public Works
Administration, the Representa-
tive was walking with his head
bowed and was much absorbed
in papers he held in his hand
at the time of the accident.
Mr.. Coffin died Friday at
Providence Hospital without hav-
ing regained consciousness. He
is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Aileen Coffin, and a 16-year-old
daughter, Jeanne.

HEALTH OFFICE
FACES FUND
SHORTAGE
Douglas, Budget Head, Asked
To Permit Money Shifts to
Pay 98 June Salaries

Whether or not the District
Health Department functions the
rest of this month depends on
Lewis Douglas, director of the
budget.
The District Commissioners
have asked Mr.. Douglas to per-
init them to switch certain I'M
used balances here and there in
the District government to pay
the SO officials, inspectors and
employees of the Health Depart
ment who otherwise will have to
be laid off or work without pay
for II days.
The deficit in the Health De-
partment account comes from the
reduced appropriation for health
inspection and administration for
this fiscal year. Other depart
ments of the District government
found it necessary during the year
to furlough employees and to cut
down personnel. The health Of
ficer, DR.. William Fowler, took
the ground that his staff was at
the minimum requirement for
public safety and did not reduce
operations during the year.
The Health Department today
ran out of anti-toxin serum for
treating INDECENT diphtheria cases.
The Board of Public Welfare has
been asked to take over this anti
toxin treatment until the end Of
June.

REVOLT LOOMS
AMONG RANK
AND FILE
Open Shop Predicted for D. C.
Unless 39-Day Deadlock Is
Ended in Few Days

Union leaders in Washington
are responsible for the carpenters
strike.
That charge was hurled today
by William C. Grace, attorney for
the Carpenters District Council,
who amplified his remark by say
ing:
"The rank and file Of the
carpenters organization realize
that their troubles can be laid
at the door of their leaders.
This is not a fight between
labor and capital, A general
housekeeping of the capenters'
union would clarity the entire
situation"
LABOR WILL REVOLT
Unless immediate steps are
taken to end the deadlock, labor
will rise in revolt against its lead
ers, Mr.. Grace predicted.
The carpenters have been on
strike since May /. They are hold
ing out for $1.3712 an hour and a
six-hour day. They fatty rejected
two gestures of peace made by the
Master Builders Association.
Meanwhile, a serious blow to
unionism in the National Capital
was seen with the definite threat
that contractors will discharge
union carpenters and employ non
union workers. A meeting will be
held late today to determine what
steps are to be taken.
Open Shop Looms
It is generally believed that
members of the Master Builders
Association will declare an open
shop and thus bring to end the
39-day deadlock. Efforts of Com
missioner George E. Allen and
officials of the Department OF
Labor to end the strike with COM
promises have proved fruitless.
The carpenters strike, coupled
with that of the plasterers and a
jurisdictional dispute on the
three Federal buildings here, have
reulted in a tieup of a 100000
900 building program in Washing.
