BRITISH PLAN ARMED
FORCE-FIGHT B

LONDON-(FP) Preparations
for combating another possible gener-
al strike are seen in the formation of
the new Royal Defense Corps an
nounced by the British War Office.
An increase Of more than $500, 900
for the army was asked, in view of the
establishment of the new force, which
"can be used in an emergency to pro-
tect vulnerable points in this country
from any attack by persons of ill-will
or foreign agents inside this country"
This move is asailed by the weekly
New Leader, which sees the Defense
Corps as another step along the Fas-
cist path pursued by the British gov
eminent. Vulnerable points, it re-
minds its readers, include transpor-
tation lines, electric power plants and
w~aterworks. "Where will strike pick
cts be-" it asks, when Defense Corps
members-trained army-~m men and arm
ed-determine to get through the
picket lines into the power plant or
dock? 2"

proved Of the bill with the exception
of these two clauses. He was assured
by Chairman Walsh that the commit
tee was not unfriendly to his type of
company union.
Dennison expressed his approval of
real unions but declared they should
not be forced by dollhouse growth. He
expressed satisfaction with the ma
tional leadership Of the A. E. of L
but said that its local leadership need
ed more seasoning before it could be
entrusted with power.
The birmingham manufacturer OBJ
jected to terming his union a company
union, but he admitted that his work
ers paid no dues, attended no meet
ings and merely voted once a year for
representatives. He was followed by

BY BERNARD HARMON

The Washington League, one OF
the city's fastest leagues during the
last few years, seems to have re-
cuperated after a slow early season
start. Last night this loop, rolling
at the Illinois alleys, furnished the
city's leading individual series as
we'll as the runner-up total. Eleven
members passed the 600 mark, with
a 681 by Leo Thearn as top score.
The Berghof Beers, who had
three consecutive 3,000s chalked up
in their favor, brought their string
up to four last night when they
pounded out games of 1,106, 991 and
Oil to total 1868, which is new
three-game record for the season in
the Washington League. Their
1.106 game was also a seasons rec
ord. In this series, Ahearn connect
ed for his top total on games of 242,
zoe and 233, Dan Abbott collected
a 624, and Walt Hickman slammed
out a SOB. It was Abbotts twen-
tieth honor court of the season,
while Heckman's 600 was his sew
enth straight in league competition
With such fancy maneuVering by
the Beer team, the opposing Wheel
er Lunch team didn't have a chance
and dropped all thre games. Heath
ers 582 was the best total garnered
by the Lunch squad.
I'LL. IL $685.,
nerup total of SIT, paced the I'm
derwood Transfers in their double
win over the Kings Indiana Bill
lizards. This series proved to be the
most thrilling of the session, the
first game winding up even when
each team pounded out LOTT
game. In the roll-off the Transfer
team bested Kings and took the
one-game edge for the series. John
Blue gave Boesnecker some help
with a COS series, while Harry
Wheeler, with 651, and Lorenz
Weissman, with 610, kept the losers
in the midst of the battle.
Capitol Ice, with Gene Ruff at
GA. took a trio of wins from the
Schmitt Insurance. To Brown
continued his 900 ways" with a
651 for the Quaker Oils and, though
he was ably assisted by a 500 from
Bill Burnett, the Oil squad dropped
three games to the Coca Cola.
Cross carried the Hoosier Opti-
Gals to a triple win over the In
dianapolis Paint e. Color team, with
Sol series. Leonard Coal Com
pany grabbed a pair from the
Wooden Shoe Beers. Rutch Nc
Allen, firing 633 for the winners,
topped all individuals in this series.
The floor average of the league
last night was Oil, the best of the
season for the Washington League.

shows are being better attended and
and an increase in the number Of
entries is being recorded.
This might seem to contradict my
first statement that the dog bust
ness has been on the down grade.
But nevertheless it is a fact. The
difference is that people are more
choosey about the dogs they do
keep.
just take trip around and talk
with the dog owners and see what
they tell you. OF course there will
be exceptional breeders who will tell
you they have sold more dogs than
ever before. Leave the exceptions
out of the picture and consider the
great number Of kennels.
For example, the hunting dog
kennels. They have reduced their
prices pitiably. They have reduced
the number of dogs they keep. and
have been very careful about buying
dogs ahead. In that way they re-
semble the merchants of the coun-
try.
Recently I talked to a man who
is probably the largest shipper OF
high class hounds in New England
and he told me that this year he
has not sold more than one-third
the number of dogs that he has sold
other years. yet he has advertised
more. It's the same story every
where. That's a good sign.
