 dotted line by Christmas. Local union leaders on the spot say the active drive to get. enough members to approach Ford with authority will begin this summer. f
 John Brophy, Lewis right-hand man in Detroit, puts 1t this way: Organization at -Ford's is inevit- able. Now that organization is the spirit of the time, the tempo of to- days life, it is idle for Ford to think he can build bulkheads around Q single motor company that will keep out the tide.
 "That tide is rising 50 fast and so high that 1t will either break through or overflow any bulkheads he can build.
 If Ford will only employ the same industrial statesmanship or intuition that led him to discard his model T when 1t was outmoded, then we can hope that an out moded labor policy can be discarded just as peacefully and easily. But organization Is inevitable" THE OTHER SIDE
 Against this stands Ford's long record of open.shop operation Ford's long record of struggles against outside influence of bank CTS, or even of government through the NRA.

story and denies 1t completely. He denies just as completely >rtimors that the Ford service men" or plant personnel, police, and watch- men employees have been augmented from 400 to more than 1000 and denies that there is any patroling of the plant as protection against fire risk.
 That a new screen of heavy wire mesh 10 feet tall has been installed some IS inches Inside windows of the plant along Miller avenue Is apparent to any passerby. This Is the approach to the plant nearest the main Detroit roads, where the riot of 1882 took place.
 DEARBORN LAW ENFORCED"
 It must be kept in mind that the Ford plant at River Rouge Is not in Detroit. It is in Dearborn, a city completely dominated by the vast sprawling plant where 90,000 men keep the cars rolling off the as- sepbly line at Q dizzy pace.

!, When United Auto Workers iH1ea1- bers, jubilant at the General Mo- tors settlement, tried to distribute to Ford employees handbills de- scribing the settlement, they were stopped by police auto squads at the border between Dearborn and De. troit. They had to distribute them to such employees as crossed into Detroit on their way from work, they will tell you.
 Bennett also q laughs at this. 'Practically every town has an aati- handbill ordinance" he says. "Only we enforce 1t here. And you'll find that anyone stopped from passing out literature here has usually been doing more than that; he has been disorderly or something"

 With 30 plants in the Detroit area making parts or supplies for Ford, union leaders like Walter Reuther, head of the west side local, believe 1t might be possible to shut Ford down even without penetrating to any great extent into the Rouge plant.

 Reuther claims the JAW already has a considerable membership at Ford's, but there is no Ford local as such. Members at Fords are ahN- ated only with the general west side headquarters, he says. Union but tons are not allowed at Fords Reuther says.

Straight Off Tee
Helen After Little Grand Slam

HelcH hIter Llttlc Grand Slam
ON TOP Of the local women's golf
world by reason OF her twin VIC
tories IN the District and MARYLAND
championships Helen Dettweiler needs
only one more victory to achieve a
little grand slam" open to women
IN this neck of the bunkered woods.
Helen plans to play in the Middle
Atlantic tourney at Indian Spring in
mld-October and if she wins that one
she'll duplicate the feat of Mrs. Betty
r. Meckley, who won all three of the
major sectional championships within
a single year.
Helen has improved her golf game
very much; there isn't any doubt of
that. Two Winters of campaigning
through the Southern tournaments:
her association with Babe Didrikson,
and her many months of big-time ex-
perlence have converted Helen into q
girl who definitely has a place in the
national picture. She's still parasane
or two from a national title, but that
may come as she improves the me-
chanical angles Of her game.
She's much better putter than she
ever has been and the old unstediness
with her wooden club shots has been
converted into series of booming
drives that seldom miss the middle of
the fairway and usually range out
there beyond the 200-yard mark. Helen
Dettweiler today Is good golfer and
perhaps national championship ma
terial.

attention.
Even that Schmeling thing
didn't wipe out the memories
Of his earlier conquests.
Braddock crept into the fistic spot

he was regarded when he started
his climb may be cleaned from the
prohibitive odds named against him
in meeting the Stallmans, Grifins,
etc. A 81 parlay on Jim's nine upset
victories now would amount to $2O,-

credit he's getting for overcoming
those odds. but his worth as a fighter
never has been generally appreciated.

Logis Says Louis.

THEY concentrate on Braddock's
legs and on Louis legs, and SEQ
that there is little to choose between
them. They give thought to age, and
there = tremendous advantage lies
with the black man. They study the
1mponderable matter Of mental condi-
ton. and here agreement seems prac-
ticaly unanimous that the advantage
lies with the serene Braddock.
But when all these points have been
considered, they bring before their
minds the young, magnificent body Of
the Brown Bomber, his panther-su
ness as he batters his sparring part
ners; the killing power OF his blows,
and his unouestioned stamina, and
they say in their hearts that he cam
not be beaten. 1t seems impossible.
Logic, judgement, expert observations
say he cannot be beaten.
II the outcome Of the fight depends
solely upon physical qualities and
abilities, the experts who pick Joe
Louis cannot be wrong. II it Is
simply matter Of which man is
the better fighter with his fists, the
world will have a colored heavyweight
champion. If it is only a matter Of
youth and bodies, it is hardly to be
understood how any man could pick
jim Braddock as the victor.

Cant Pass Up Brzdd0ck,

RUT the curious thing about prize
fights and golf games and about
life itself is that men have qualities
or defects that you cannot Lift with
your hands or weigh on a set Of
scales. You cannot see them even
in the bright sunlight. But they arc
there as certainly as deltoid muscles,
or as sturdy legs or as iron jaws.
And it is the possession Of these
invisible, supremely important at.
tributes which may win this battle.
If purely animal qualities Of
strength and muscular reaction, and
condition and age are to win, tho
victor should be Joe Louis. If 1t IS
those other, and possible more ad-
mirable, possessions which are to be
eide the combat, then Jim Braddock
again will be acclaimed champion
Of the world
